The farmers'' cheers and gratitude are not the purpose of Arthur''s reform, although he has been standing on the ox cart for half an hour!

    My legs are a little sour.

    Jumping off the ox cart, Arthur summoned three farm managers to him.

    "My Lord."

    Different from more than a thousand cheering farmers, standing in front of Arthur, there was no joy in their hearts except for their habitual humility.

    They are the stewards of the farm. Their duty is to manage serfs for Lingfeng castle. Now Arthur has abolished serfdom, and has distributed the land to farmers to allow them to cultivate freely!

    The serfs gained freedom and land, but they lost their function.

    The three were full of anxiety and uneasiness. They bowed and didn''t dare to look directly into Arthur''s eyes.

    They were afraid that Arthur would divide them a few acres of land and let them plough like these serfs.

    Whether they themselves or their families and children, they have long stopped farming in person. If Arthur really let them plough like these serfs, it would be the cruelest fate for them.

    They wanted to admonish Arthur, hoping that he was just a little hot headed and could take back his life.

    But looking at more than a thousand serfs around cheering and celebrating their new life, the three dare not say one more word, otherwise these serfs can tear them apart without Arthur''s hand!

    "Don''t cry and lose your face." looking at the three, Arthur said, "although you don''t need to manage sowing and grain in the future, there are more important things for you."

    "Lord Arthur, please tell me. Whatever it is, I Barlow will finish it for you!"

    "My Lord! I sangze and my family are willing to serve you!"

    "The same is true of me, Clovis!"

    When Arthur said that there was a more important task, they all came back to life and scrambled to express their loyalty.

    Looking at the three, Arthur asked, "you should all be literate?"

    "Yes, I can read, adult!"

    "I can read, too!"

    "I can read! I can read!"

    The three seemed to be rushing to answer. For fear of being a step slow, Arthur gave the opportunity to the other two.

    The surrounding farmers looked at the three people with a indifferent look. They were often bullied by the manager of the farm.

    "It''s good to be literate." Arthur nodded and was satisfied that all three were literate. "From today on, the three farms will be changed into three villages, which are called Shangli village, Zhongli village and Xiali village. You three are the village heads."

    "Village head?"

    As soon as they heard that they were all village heads, the originally tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

    "Lord Arthur, what does the village head need to do for you? Is it to continue to supervise the farmers?"

    All three looked puzzled, and the surrounding farmers paid quiet attention to Arthur.

    "It''s not surveillance!" looking at the puzzled three people, Arthur explained: "the farmers don''t need your surveillance. From now on, as long as the farmers in the village don''t violate the king''s law and Lingfeng castle''s law, you have no right to interfere with the villagers'' freedom."

    "Let you be the village head, let you serve the village names!"

    "Service..."

    Not to mention three people, the farmers around will look puzzled.

    Arthur continued to explain: "the village head is like a bridge between Lingfeng castle and the village. All you have to do is convey the decrees of Lingfeng castle to the farmers and complete the tasks assigned to you by Lingfeng castle."

    Then Arthur pointed to the Columbine and Quyuan plow: "these two tools are called columbine and Quyuan plow. I have asked people to make them in large quantities. Next, they will be managed by you together with the cattle. When farmers need to use them, they need to apply to you, and you should make a good registration."

    "As the village head, you will receive three silver coins from Lingfeng Castle every month as your salary. Do you understand what I say?"

    "Understand, understand!"

    The three nodded again and again. Although they didn''t quite understand what the village head was going to do, as long as they didn''t let them plough like this group of farmers.

    And according to Arthur''s description, the village head is still superior to the farmers.

    "Lord Arthur, do we still need to plough?" Barlow asked cautiously. Gangze and Crowe also watched Arthur.

    Although three silver coins a month can support their families, they are not rich.

    "If you don''t want it, I won''t give it!" Arthur said faintly, looking at the three.

    "Yes! I want it!"

    "Important place, we want place!"

    "We will plough, Lord Arthur! We will!"

    As soon as they didn''t give it, the three immediately changed their faces. It''s one thing to plough or not, and it''s another thing to have it or not.

    Looking at the eager appearance of the three, the farmers laughed one after another. Arthur then said, "since you hold the post of village head, the grain tax can be reduced by half."

    "Lord Arthur is kind!"

    "We must be the village head!"

    ……

    The three quickly thanked.

    "Don''t hurry to thank," Arthur said faintly. "Half tax is not for you, but for the village head. If you don''t do well and the farmers are not satisfied with you, I will appoint a new village head!"

    Hearing the speech, the three changed their faces again, and the idea of abusing power for personal gain dissipated in an instant.

    "But if you do well, you will also have opportunities for promotion. For example, let you manage Shanghe town and be the mayor of Shanghe town!"

    As soon as they heard that there was still a chance to be mayor, the three were excited again and again. They promised Arthur that they would perform the post of village head to the satisfaction of the farmers.

    Good management can not only have sticks, but also carrots.

    Seeing that what had been knocked was almost the same, Arthur asked Thorne to get three reform plans prepared in advance and handed them to the three people respectively.

    "This is a specific reform plan. You should complete it as soon as possible."

    Looking at the three, Arthur gave a few more orders and asked the bodyguard to lead the horse.

    The onlookers shouted when they saw that Arthur was ready to leave.

    Sitting on horseback and watching the farmers shouting and crying on both sides, Arthur couldn''t help feeling very much.

    Bree and Parker quickly ran to the end of the crowd. The front was full of people. They couldn''t squeeze into the roadside at all.

    They thought today was just a competition, but they didn''t expect Arthur to give them such a surprise, which they couldn''t imagine anyway.

    "Lord Arthur!"

    "Lord Arthur!!"

    Seeing Arthur''s horse walking, Bree cheered desperately to attract Arthur''s attention.

    There was no one on either side of the road, and Arthur saw several people waving their arms at a glance.

    "Bree, and you guys, long time no see!" Arthur had a deep memory of Bree.

    Seeing Arthur greeting them, Bree was stunned, and his eyes were filled with tears.

    Reining in the reins, Arthur dismounted and walked up to several people. He joked, "I thought Bree was a crying ghost. I didn''t expect you three to be the same."

    "Lord Arthur, do you remember us!" the three quickly wiped away their tears with their hands and looked at Arthur excitedly.

    Lily and Morin in the team are the same. They just wanted Arthur to see them, but they didn''t expect Arthur to dismount and walk in front of them.

    "Bree, Parker and Gru, of course I remember you. You guarded the fortress and protected everyone." Arthur named them one by one, then looked at the girl next to Bree and asked, "are you Lily?"

    "Yes... Yes, Lord Arthur." lily became nervous and clenched her hands on her chest.

    "Take it easy. Bree told me your name."

    Looking at lily with little freckles on her face, Arthur smiled and said, "Bree told me a lot of your stories. He said you were the kindest girl in the world. By the way, he also said he liked you and wanted you to be his wife!"
