Overgod Ascension

Boom!

Wu Ming relaxed as if walking, swimming in the crowd, the sword sheath waving at will, every time a farmer fell down, unable to climb for half a day.

“A true knight! ”

Mrs. Amelia saw this scene, but she leaned softly against the door, completely desperate.

She thought Wu Ming was only the second son of an aristocrat. Luckily, she took advantage of the opportunity to plot her husband's land, but she could not imagine that such a young aristocrat was already a true knight!

In fact, even if a true knight has to deal with dozens of sieges in one breath, it's also quite painful.

But farmers are too different from trained fighters, and they are simply too restrained to fight back, so even if any knight comes, they can easily suppress them, as Wu Ming has done now.

Whoops!

Wu Ming finally sheathed his sword and looked at the rest of the farmer, his eyes sparkling with fine light.

“What gave you so much guts to dare to turn to me! William Wallace, a noble jazz, a wildling contender, champion of the Spring Fights, and knight of the Church Glory? ”

Of course, because of the inconvenience of transportation, the results of the spring contest have not yet been communicated here. Otherwise, Wu Ming estimated that his takeover would be much smoother, but he shouted himself out and smelled a little deterrent.

“Now punish yourselves severely with your hands that do not respect the Lord, and kiss the land beneath my feet on your knees, and I will forgive you your previous infidelity, lest your souls go to hell and cry! ”

The sword flashed, showing that what he said was by no means false.

“You are a true knight! The inhabitants need your protection! ”

Something more desperate happened to Amelia.

The first to succumb was the old warrior Jove.

He knelt on his knees and kissed the land under Wu Ming's feet in a pious tone.

As one of the rare open-minded people in his territory, he already knew that his wife's plot had failed completely, and… it was a dark and dangerous world that must have a strong lord to protect its children! A woman can't!

It's helpless, but it's a reality!

“Good! As a punishment, all you have to do is whip ten whips, and I forgive you for your sins! ”

Wu Ming looked to the side: “Who wants to execute? ”

“Lord, I offer you my loyalty as your humble servant! ”

Many tenant farmers immediately countered the water, knelt down and kissed the land under Wu Ming's feet.

Amelia was softened and deeply felt betrayal, and the sorrow of the woman had overshadowed her, even spinning her eyes.

Two daughters shouted in her ear, turning dark in front of her, completely unconscious.

……

“Mom!”

“Mom!”

Not knowing how long later, she opened her eyes and saw the setting of her bedroom, as well as the anxious faces of two daughters.

“Gods… I seem to have a terrible nightmare! ”

Lady Amelia mumbled: “I dreamed a young demon would come and take everything from me...”

“I'm so sorry... ma'am! ”

The old butler, with his broken nose, stood aside and his face wrapped in gauze, reminding him in a tone-changing voice: “I'm afraid that's not a nightmare! ”

Amelia sighed and sat up and saw Wu Ming.

“When you fainted, it was… Lord saved you!” The butler continues to add.

“All right, you win! ”

Amelia said helplessly, "I'm leaving with my two daughters! ”

“Ma'am, I think you misunderstood what I meant! ”

Wu Ming smiled.

“Would you like to marry my daughter, or...”

Amelia's face was red: "Do you insist on what you asked for? ”

“I do need you… as my housekeeper! ”

After teasing the beauty, Wu Ming finally said.

“Butler?! ”

Mrs. Amelia blinked and looked a little dainty.

“Nice... I need someone familiar and prestigious with the territory to help me manage the territory, as my housekeeper I will pay you and you and your daughter can continue to live here... of course, if you want, I will accept them as adoptive daughters and when they grow up I will prepare a generous dowry for each of them, what do you say? ”

Treating the widows of former lords well is also a diving rule in the circle of nobility.

Wu Ming does not want to have his mean or cruel reputation circulated in the circle. In comparison, it is important that a little bit of peachy rumor is not at all relevant.

“I promise! ”

It was almost hard to think, and Mrs. Amelia promised to come down.

After all, she was just a civilian daughter, and there was no home for her mother, and there was really nowhere else to go but the territory.

“Celis, Cecil, come, meet your godfather! ”

She immediately gained the spirit and allowed her two daughters to salute Wu Ming.

Even though Wu Ming knew that he would have custody of his two daughters and could exercise all their powers until they were minors, there was nothing he could do.

“Godfather! ”

Two of Lori's sweet screams made Beatrice next door groan even more unhappy.

“As for you...”

Wu Ming looked at the poor old housekeeper and made a random decision, beating him to the first level: “Just serve as the housekeeper's deputy! ”

……

The inhabitants of Lord Carlos soon learned a surprising news that they had replaced a new lord.

The lord was mighty, a true knight, and had defeated the Church's knight of glory by joining forces with an entire regiment of mercenaries - rumours were always exaggerating.

With the protection of this mighty knight, we should be free from the bloody bandits and wildlings, right?

The hearts and minds of all the children settled after being led by the Butler's deputy and Jov and sworn allegiance to the new lord in batches.

Loyalty and taxation are offered to the Lord, who is responsible for protecting the people under his rule, which is also a mutual right and duty.

In the Dark Ages, a mighty lord, though brutal, had strength, but there would still be a relentless array of people to surrender, just for a little security!

The scourge of a lord is so insignificant compared to the whole group of wildlings, to the ferocious beasts, to the vicious environment.

“That's my Carlos Leader! ”

Wu Ming, riding a horse, began to tour his territory, and the housekeeper's deputy next to him continued to explain to him.

After a lap, he had some intuitive knowledge of his territory.

The entire Locus collar covers nearly a thousand acres, which is a lot bigger than the enclosed land of an ordinary knight in his past life. In turn, it's almost four million square meters, six thousand acres of land.

Most of these, of course, are mountains and hills, cultivating only about 2,000 acres of cultivated land.

Throughout the territory, there are ninety tenant farmers, two free people, one skilled at blacksmiths, and one scholar.

In addition to these, there are water mills, cattle bars, warehouses, estate courts, all of which are public buildings, nominally owned by his lord.

But most importantly, as a lord, Wu Ming, apart from owning all the mountain forests, rivers and grasslands, of those two thousand acres of cultivated land, one thousand are his private land.

The inhabitants under him, or the serfs, must first cultivate his land and then work in the marginal parts of their homes.

Even those lands do not belong to serfs, simply because they pay taxes, so lords cannot be arbitrarily deprived.

“This counts as harsher than the ancient landowners exploited! ”

Wu Ming sighed in his heart.

It can be said that on the Cognac of the Lord, everything but a few free people own a certain amount of private property belongs to the Lord.

“The efficiency of this exploitation is too low...”

As an experienced and passing passer through previous generations, Wu Ming naturally was very dissatisfied with this efficiency: “Why not simply exercise slavery by tying all the serfs to the land and turning all the inhabitants into slaves? What a setback in history. ”

He naturally has a lot of money ideas to make, but it all takes people! Need a craftsman, a skilled guy to work for him!

“Now... I already have the Knight Book seal, which is sort of the threshold for entering the aristocratic circle. Some previous plans can be started...”

Anyway, we can't plant fields, but we can also develop handicraft products, glass, fine salt, improve iron forging, etc. Wu Ming is not to say that he is familiar with the mind, but is also 78% sure.

“Of course… the first step is to advance your authority first! ”

It's iron and blood that makes people feel authoritative!

The only way to do this internally is to gain fear and resentment, while the outside world can gain cheer and wealth.

“Jov! ”

Wu Ming said to the old warrior: "Bring all the great boys from the realm! ”

In the Territorial Court, Wu Ming looked at the following young faces of curiosity, awe and anxiety as if they were judges, and suddenly smiled: “Starting today, you can choose to go to Chof's place to train the warriors after farming every day. Those who do so will be rewarded with an oatmeal bread after training! ”

“And when spring cultivation is over, I will lead you to fight the bandits and wildlings around you! ”

Speaking to provoke a thousand waves, he stood up and depressed his voice to the fullest: “As lords, I promise you that those who stand out in future battles will have the opportunity to become free citizens and own their land! ”

Leading times, half a step is genius, one step is madness!

Although Wu Ming was reluctant to liberate all people in the Territory directly as free citizens, he also knew that that was impossible and must be slowed down.

In the future, refinement and division of labour are the main directions, and these all require a free population!
