Chapter 754

After leaving the Shanbao Fortress, Lei Xiao and his party first came to the Fort of Leaving Exit which is the closest to the Shanbao Fortress.

Currently, the 3,000 mountain fortress conscripts led by Jubai are stationed here.

Came to the outskirts of the city originally controlled by the traditional nobles, Lei Xiao found out.

Compared with before the start of the war, this place is already like two different worlds.

I saw that in many dilapidated villages around the city, they are no longer lifeless, but filled with yearning and expectation for life, and they seem to have a thriving embryonic form.

Since each village has set up facilities such as distribution points for food and other materials, treatment centers, and military recruitment offices in varying quantities, the crowds of free farmers are filled with laughter that has stagnated for hundreds of years.

All of this clearly shows that those bloodthirsty demons are dead, and the heavy shackles that imprisoned them no longer exist!

In the process of secretly observing, Lei Xiao noticed further with satisfaction.

Even though under my own order, the cities opened warehouses to release grain, and distributed enough grain and living materials to these free farmers, the fields around the village were still being cultivated intensely and orderly, and there was no slack in the slightest. .

Moreover, whether it is the material distribution point with long queues, the recruiting office where young people scramble to gather, or the treatment center where most of the old farmers are, there is an orderly appearance everywhere.

"My lord, this is the true face of the Lengyan Kingdom!"

In the corner of a certain village center, Ariel, who had been following closely beside Lei Xiao, couldn't help but excitedly said: "Whether it's a member of the royal family like your subordinates, or nobles from all over the place, there is only one thing to do, That is to protect those smiles from the heart!"

After finishing speaking, Ariel looked at Lei Xiao gratefully again, and said sincerely: "Thanks to the lord, the people of the people of the Lengyan Kingdom have more longing for the future in their dull pupils." light!"

"Ariel, you've been thanking me since just now, my ears are getting callused."

Lei Xiao casually touched the head of Princess Lengyan, and said with a smile, "Follow me to look around."

While continuing to observe, the conversations between free farmers also came to Lei Xiao's ears one after another.

"Mama, these soldier uncles broke father's leg a few days ago, why did they start sending us things today?"

"Son, these soldier uncles have changed. They are no longer the eagle dogs of those nobles, and they no longer bring unscrupulous beatings, scolding and bullying, but people who are truly willing to protect us with their lives!"

"The ones who really protect us? So the soldiers and uncles are actually good people? I thought they would only wave whips and sharp knives at us..."

"No, there will never be such a soldier uncle again, because now we are guarded by the gentle and brave Her Royal Highness the Princess and the strategist Master Ke Qing!"

"Her Royal Highness and Master Ke Qing? Ma Ma, I will become a soldier when I grow up, and protect Her Royal Highness and Master Ke Qing! I also want to protect Ma Ma and everyone!"

"Grandpa, you are so old, you don't have to work in the fields!"

"You bastard, how dare you meddle in your grandpa's business? Give me back the hoe! Your Highness the Princess and Your Excellency Ke Qing have paid so much for us. Even if the old man is exhausted, he has to plant an acre of land for Her Highness and Your Excellency Ke Qing." food!"

"Grandpa, listen to me, that sassy female general said early in the morning that from now on, whether it is the direct land or our own land, we will distribute magical magic wheat seeds, and the output will be the same as before. It's more than a few times, and there is no need to reclaim those wastelands!"

"Oh? There is such an incredible thing? Doesn't this mean that only half of the previous labor force is needed to complete the annual food target?!"

"Yes, grandpa, with enough food, we can eat delicious bread and thick soup every day from now on!

"You bastard, why are you still standing here? It's enough to have me and your father and mother at home, why don't you hurry up to respond to Her Royal Highness's call and become a glorious recruit of the kingdom? This hard-won brand new future , let us replace Her Royal Highness and Lord Ke Qing to guard it!"

"Hey, to tell you the truth, my brother and I signed up early in the morning!"

"Sisters, what do you think Mr. Ke Qing, who defeated these nobles and lords, looks like? He must be very heroic and extraordinary?"

"That's natural. That's a great person who assists Her Royal Highness! It is said that Mr. Ke Qing is not only a brave swordsman, but also a wise magician, not to mention how amazing it is!"

"Sure enough, it is exactly as I imagined! He is a master Ke Qing with both civil and military skills! If I can see Master Ke Qing, even if I don't want to marry for the rest of my life, I will be willing!"

"Stop dreaming, a big man like Mr. Ke Qing must have a lot of opportunities every day, and how can you, a village girl like you, be able to see it casually?"

"Tch, it sounds like you're not a village girl. Your brother told me in secret. When you were dreaming last night, you yelled the words Mr. Ke Qing. Now you're pretending to be noble."

"Nonsense...nonsense! I never dreamed of lying in the arms of Mr. Ke Qing!"

"By the way, sisters, I heard that the City Lord's Mansion is recruiting trainee maids. Maybe you will be lucky enough to meet Master Ke Qing there!"

"Really?! I'll go, I'll go!"

Listening to this, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly.

Before I knew it, I seemed to have become an idol in many people's minds.

"I have to say, this feeling is pretty good."

Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao's expression became solemn again, and he nodded thoughtfully.

At least on Free Farmer's side, he no longer needs to worry about it.

"Okay, let's go find Jubai."

Nodding to the subordinates, Lei Xiao took his footsteps again, opened his voice, and ordered Jubai to go to the designated place to meet up.

"My lord, you are here!"

Not long after, in the hidden place outside the gate of Leuast Castle, Ju Bai, who had been waiting here, took a step forward, bowed and said: "I will see you, Lord Lord!"

"You don't have to be polite."

Lei Xiao waved his hand, and said to the Queen's General in front of him, "Ju Bai, it seems that everything is going well."

"Lord Lord, the Free Farmers have almost regarded you and Her Royal Highness as gods!"

Ju Bai nodded excitedly at first, and then reported with frowned eyebrows: "In addition, the money, food and various rare treasures in the Lord's Mansion of Leo's Castle are more abundant than what I imagined. There are a lot of savings, it seems that these fallen nobles have obviously squeezed the common people to the bone."

"Then if I do this, it can be regarded as taking from the people and using it for the people."

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, and said with a faint smile, "How is the recruiting going?"

"Back to the lord, it went very smoothly, and it can even be said to be extremely hot."

Tangerine stroked his chest and saluted, and responded: "Since this morning, nearly 2,000 people have successfully signed up in the various villages around Fort Leo's End, provided that the food output is guaranteed, and this number is still increasing!"

"Very well, the training of recruits must be carried out quickly, and there is not much time left for us."

Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Select the strong and strong recruits from the recruits and focus on training, and the rest can stay in the local area and train slowly. Maintaining the stability of the rear is also an indispensable part."

"Don't worry, my lord, with the enthusiasm and perseverance of these free peasant recruits, I believe it will not take long before they can become a good fighting force."

Jubai nodded confidently, and then a touch of helplessness appeared on his fair face, and continued to report: "My lord, in stark contrast to the popularity of the villages outside the city, the situation of the new citizens in the city is a bit shocking. People are worried, and most of them are almost behind closed doors.

"Is that so?"

Lei Xiao looked as expected, nodded to Ju Bai and said, "Come with me into the city."

"Obey, my lord."

Ju Bai saluted again and began to lead the way ahead.

Under the guidance of Ju Bai, it didn't take long for Lei Xiao and his party to step into the gate of Remaining Castle.

Looking around, Lei Xiao immediately frowned.

Just like what Ju Bai said, there are only a handful of scattered pedestrians passing by on the well-repaired and spacious streets, most of the shops are not even open, and the few that are only open are empty, everywhere. Extremely cool.

"It's almost like the city has been occupied by the Holy Night Army. It seems that the hostility of the new citizen class in the city is still full."

Lei Xiao curled his lips helplessly, and asked the Queen's General beside him, "Ju Bai, has the news of the salary increase and tax reduction been conveyed?"

"Return to the lord, everything has been conveyed."

Jubai bowed and saluted, and responded: "Following the orders of the lord, the subordinates even distributed and communicated the subsidy rules, fair laws, and pensions for the soldiers who died in battle just now, but they still haven't received them." To too great an effect, only a small number of new citizen officials persist in their posts."

"To tell you the truth, my lord, I believe that the generous matters you have formulated are enough to make every new citizen's heart flutter. It can be seen that the problem lies in the sense of trust."

Ju Bai still maintained a respectful posture, and added: "Only when the worries of these new citizens are dispelled, can everything proceed smoothly."

"So I brought our Princess Ariel over as planned yesterday."

Lei Xiao smiled faintly, and told Ju Bai: "Okay, let's gather all the new citizens in the central square of the city, and the princess's speech will begin immediately."

"Follow the lord's orders, the subordinates of the venue have already completed preparations, and the new citizen officials in their posts are also ready to gather other new citizens."

Ju Bai nodded, stroked his chest and saluted, "Your subordinate will do it now."

Not long after, Ariel was already standing on the podium set up in the central square of the city under the neat arrangement of Tangerine.

Beside Ariel, there are the main subordinates such as the knotweed who has been disguised and is responsible for the security work. With the protection of the fifth-level powerhouse, naturally there is no need to worry about Ariel's safety.

On the periphery of the podium, there are two teams of magicians who are casting sound amplification spells. With their protection, Ariel's voice will spread to every corner of the city.

As for Lei Xiao, surrounded by the red night, he stood in the hidden place of the venue to observe, while Jiang Li continued to build a space beacon non-stop.

Looking at the gradually dense crowd in the square, Lei Xiao couldn't help being a little surprised.

Originally, I thought that the number of new citizens coming to the square should be extremely limited, but judging from the current situation.

As the fifth princess, Ariel's appeal is obviously much stronger than she imagined.

"My lord, it seems that these people want to wait for a definite answer."

With her arms around her, Hong Ye raised her eyebrows and said to Lei Xiao, "That's to see if you really intend to treat them sincerely."

"On the battlefield, although they are pawns against the fallen nobles, they are also pawns in the hands of the fallen nobles."

On Lei Xiao's gentle face, a calm expression said: "And what I have to do is to help them recognize this reality. Those so-called privileges and status higher than Free Farmers are just for the sake of It's better to let them die."

"As for whether I am sincere, the answer is of course yes."

Lei Xiao also raised his eyebrows, and continued calmly: "Rather than demagoguery, it's better to let everyone clearly understand that they are not only fighting for me, but also fighting for themselves and the future, because I have ability to create a future that everyone aspires to."

"As expected of the lord, the words you speak always make people's blood boil."

In Hong Ye's starry eyes, a flash of irrepressible reverence flashed, and he said sincerely.

At this moment, Hong Ye was filled with emotions~www.mtlnovel.com~ You must know that in the realm of absolute death not long ago, it was this young human race from another world whom he had sworn allegiance to who saved his life !

While sighing, Hong Ye's starry eyes moved, and looked at the podium not far away, and murmured: "Next, it's time to see Ariel's performance."

On the podium, Ariel, who was wearing a small crown, looked at the increasingly dense crowd below the stage, her exquisite face full of awe.

She saw pairs of eyes with awe and a little fear and confusion, which undoubtedly represented distrust in herself and uncertainty about the future.

And what I need to do is to dispel everyone's concerns and let everyone understand clearly.

Whether it is the lord, or himself as the fifth princess of Lengyan, he has the ability to create a better future for everyone present!

Thinking of this, Ariel slowly took a deep breath, and then opened her red lips lightly, and transmitted her clear and firm voice to the ears of everyone present through the amplification circle.
