Ayss Domination

Slavery is a serious obstacle to productivity.

Without the release of slaves, there is no way to liberate enough of the working population. The future development of Modo City needs a large number of civilians, not a slave class who can only sell coolies.

Sauron's "Abolition of Slavery Act" seemed to have dropped a blockbuster on the material plane, and even the City of Glory shook.Because even the shining master of the lawful and kind-hearted camp, he himself rejected slavery, but the church has never put forward this idea.

even!

Some paladins will also take the initiative to maintain slavery.

Sauron didn't care about the outside world's reaction. He opened the third census of Modo City as soon as he promulgated the "Abolition of Slavery Act."

All the slaves were liberated into the lower class. They will be registered in the demographics of Modo City. From now on, they will have personal freedom and property freedom.However, as slaves, they hardly had any wealth of their own, so the next arrangement of Modo City Hall was to allocate land to them.

Every inch of land in Modo City is very precious!

Therefore, it is naturally impossible for these lands to be given to these slaves free of charge, which is unfair to all the meritorious classes.

Modo City reclaimed a large amount of land near the twelve large towns. These lands belonged to Modo City’s property, and now they are leased to all slaves. Modo City’s city hall uniformly allocates housing to slaves. Farming tools and daily necessities.

But there are only so many.

Excessive gifts can easily produce counterproductive effects, and Sauron will only give them the opportunity to rely on their own efforts for the future.

All the houses belong to Modo City's wealth, the slaves released are only the most basic residential areas, all the farming tools also belong to Modo City, and they only have the basic right to use them.

The slaves are still penniless.

However, they can then rely on themselves to earn and accumulate wealth. The land allocated by Modo City only collects about 30% of the rent, which means that 70% of the income from a year of farming can be used as the property of these tenants.

Sauron certainly would not let slaves be free.

Freedom is only relative!

Sauron had already arranged their fate, and they had no choice but to follow Sauron's orders.

Because Sauron is the god of the lawful evil camp.

Slaves became tenants. They had the right to cultivate the land on their own and obtained the foundation to accumulate wealth. At the same time, they also began to provide taxes for Modo City, and solved the current problem of the lack of a large number of civilian laborers in Modo City. .

Under slavery, they hardly had any freedom of life and property rights, and their labor was more dependent on whip to flog.

Now that they have property rights, the income from farming will be used as their private property, which greatly stimulates their enthusiasm.At the same time, Modo City also opened up a more favorable policy to them than outsiders. Freed slaves can use about one-third of the outside world's wealth to purchase ownership of residences and convert land into private property.All of these properties have land deeds in Modo City, and being recognized by the city hall is equivalent to truly gaining a foothold in Modo City.Sauron's promise has already passed the test of time, so there is no need for any doubt about this.

The third census was very fast.

The City Hall of Modo City has long been accustomed to efficient operation. After the third census, the population count has reached about 270,000.

It seems that Modo City has a lot of hidden population.

The blacksmith workshop is stepping up the forging of farming tools. This time Modo City’s arable land has nearly doubled. Because of the "Abolition of Slavery Act", Modo City has an additional farming population of about 50,000. It all worked.

The deep ploughing system is being popularized. Relying on the promotion of fertilizer, the grain output of Modo City is expected to be enough to maintain about 500,000 people.

but.

For Sauron, agriculturalization is only the most basic part, and he needs to do more than that.

Everything he currently plans is just to pave the way for a large-scale farm economy. When farming grows to a certain extent, what he needs is to liberate these laborers and move them to other places at the same time.

The slave can only squeeze a little bit of strength, Sauron needs more and more.

………………

The morning sun shines down.

Kovano woke up just before dawn, he looked at the clean bed lying on it, and everything was clean as a dream.

He is a slave.

From the Shipwreck Bay, purchased by a merchant, once a guard, became a slave because of the nobility.Life as a slave is not easy. The businessman urges him to work with a whip every day. The other five slaves like him are rarely wrong with beatings.As a slave, he had nothing, and even if the master killed him, he had no responsibility. This situation continued until the promulgation of the Abolition Act.At that time, the merchant wanted to urgently transfer him to the south coast and then sell him for money. Unfortunately, he was caught by the guards of Modo City.

He is free.

Everything is like dreaming.

But freedom is only relative. Kovano soon discovered that the guards did not let him leave, but placed him and another group of slaves in this place called Qiushui Town.

A neat row of brick houses.

Each of them was placed in a house here, and the next day a man dressed as an official came to give them statistics, followed by the distribution of tools.Kovano thought everything was no different from what he had experienced in the past, but soon he realized that it was really different.

No one was beaten or urged, and even blatant laziness would not be punished.

Slaves like him have many blank expressions, some work hard and seem hopeful for the future, and some do nothing, as if they don't know what to do.

Such days lasted for three days.

Kovano doesn't know how to face the future, so he just does things everyday. As a commoner, he has been learning how to cultivate the land since he was a child.Three days later, officials from the city hall reappeared. They secretly assessed everyone. The best-performing slave named Nord was given a cattle, and the cattle was formally passed through the town hall. As his private property.

This makes many slaves feel envious.

Because once their own value was no more than a farm cow, and the man named Nord was even more surprised.

but.

Soon everything that followed made others feel uneasy.

Another slave was expelled. He failed to do the most basic reclamation because he was lazy every day. The officials of the city hall deprived him of all the housing, utensils, food, and clothing given to him by Modo City.So everything that Modo City gave was deprived. This poor man was driven out of the town wearing only a thin piece of clothing. This man didn’t even have a ration for the next meal. No matter how much he cried and regretted it still Being thrown out by the guards, it was completely as if he let him destroy himself.

At this moment, everyone felt uneasy.

However, the good news is that the guards only expelled three people. No one knew their fate, only that their original residence, food and clothing had been taken away.

at this time.

Other talents reflect how precious what they have now is.They don’t have to worry about being hungry, they don’t need to be frozen, they can live in clean and tidy houses, and they can fill their stomachs by working hard every day.Kovano began to adapt to this change of fate. He gradually realized that he seemed to have become a tenant, because everything he did now was no different from a tenant.

but.

In any case, the status of tenant households is higher than that of serfs, and even higher than that of slaves.

About a week later.

The officials of the city hall appeared again, which made many slaves uneasy.

They have become accustomed to the present day. They have a clean residence and a strong house, so they don’t need to be beaten, scolded and whipped anymore. They cherish these days.Fortunately, this time the city hall officials did not expel others. They just took away all children between the ages of seven and twelve, whether slaves or civilians. Then Kenwano heard that there seemed to be a lot of people in the town. A school.

And these children are being concentrated in it for...learning?...

Yes.

Soon, they learned that Modo City was educating these children.

This kind of thing sounds a little weird, because in other places only the nobility and merchant class will receive formal education.

Kovano felt that the owner of Modo City seemed to be doing a great thing, but he knew too little knowledge, and he didn't know what Modo City was going to do.

He just feels that the future is full of hope!

………………

In addition to counting the numbers, the third census also counted the ages of all residents.

Immediately afterwards, under the operation of the city hall, all territories of Modo City, including Modo Port, began to establish colleges one after another, which taught the most basic knowledge, such as arithmetic, literacy, literacy, etc. The basic knowledge is completely unified and compulsorily taught to all children of school age by Modo City.

At the same time, some huge and dense buildings began to appear in Modo City. These three or four-story buildings were placed in the south, and a large number of laborers were transferred to work.

No one knew what Sauron was going to do.

But today's Modo City seems to be a starting machine, which is gradually running at high speed!
