Chapter 228
"Very good! Very energetic!"
If the road is blocked, open it with fists.
Jincheng knows the value and significance of force.
Especially in the war-torn and strife-ridden Valoran continent, the most reliable way to seek peace and prosperity is to rely on one's own strong strength.
He swept his eyes over the 693 young and strong serfs under the stage, with a hint of satisfaction on his face.
Next to Jincheng, there were several knights with tall and bulging bellies.
They held their long-cherished long swords and spears in their hands, like fat bears, firmly guarding behind Jincheng.
And under the stage, on the training ground next to the cultivated land, this group of young and strong men with tanned skin were the serfs that Jincheng was proud of.
At this moment, the serfs who used to work hard in the fields had already put down their farm tools and picked up bamboo spears and orchid wood shields.
All these equipments were carefully arranged by Jincheng - only a little money was needed to invite skilled carpenters to complete the production.
As for iron weapons, you're kidding, Jincheng doesn't have the ability to get a lot of good stuff.
Not only that, the serfs' original unique clothes were also changed into plain gray coarse cloth robes.
And they were also wrapped with simple and practical cloth armor to protect the vital parts of the body from injury. This is called a battle robe.
Uniform dress, this is an order issued by Jincheng himself.
You know, these serfs have never been hungry or abused.
After all, if you want to fill your stomach, you have to work hard to cultivate the land!
Those serfs who suffered from hunger knew that if they did not work, they would suffer from hunger, so they would naturally take the initiative to plow the fields or cut wood.
In this way, the serfs could not only fill their stomachs, but also get exercise. Moreover, the last person in charge of managing the North Sea Forest was Sebastian, and the manager he appointed did not say that the serfs were short of food.
Therefore, the physical fitness of these serfs was not bad.
In addition, Jincheng specially asked them to change into these so-called "excellent" equipment.
The whole serf team was completely new, and it was completely different from when he first saw them - they were really ugly at that time!
But then again, although the serf team now looks much neater, in fact, it still has no combat effectiveness.
Jincheng really couldn't figure it out, this is the North Sea Forest!
Going north is Freljord!
Freljord raiders often come to invade this land, and the people living here should be more vigilant and aggressive.
But how come this group of people in front of him still look like simple and unpretentious farmers?
Although he was a little confused, Jincheng was quite satisfied with the current situation.
After all, nearly 700 strong young serfs gathered here.
At this time, Runeland was still in the cold weapon era.
Although occasionally there would be people with strength beyond imagination.
But in most cases, the warriors still had to hold weapons and fight step by step.
After all, in this era when advanced weapons such as mechanical killers have not yet been invented.
Seven hundred young and strong militiamen holding bamboo spears and bluewood shields are already a fighting force that cannot be underestimated.
A large number of people does not necessarily mean absolute strength, but if the number of troops is too small, it will inevitably be at a disadvantage in the war.
Unexpectedly, these liberated serfs also showed a considerable degree of discipline at this moment-
At least they were all willing to stare at Jincheng on the high platform and listen to his speech.
Or have they been taught a strong servility by the previous officials?
......
"My Lord Viscount! Is it appropriate to act this way?
Just for them to participate in this training, you have to give each person a full seven copper coins as a reward!
Not only that, but you are also responsible for their food?
Although seven copper coins are not a huge sum of money, these serfs are originally the people of the North Sea Forest...
They belong to you completely, and it is a great honor for them to obey your orders!
We don't need to pay them any remuneration at all..."
Financial officer Kisinia's face was distorted, and he looked at Jincheng with pain and struggle, and asked respectfully.
Previously, when Kisinia reported to Jincheng that the financial situation in the territory was in a difficult situation, Jincheng generously donated money without saying a word, and invested all the small treasury he had accumulated for many years into the territory's finances.
However, before Kisinya could be overjoyed, he immediately received a stern warning from Jin Cheng: "Remember, these moneyIt is used for military expenses and my personal property! No one is allowed to use it without permission! "
Although Kisinia was dissatisfied with this, he had no choice but to accept it.
But Jincheng's plan to reward the serfs with copper coins was really incomprehensible to him.
"Enough! You are just a small financial officer! Don't you know how important military force is? This is the North Sea Forest! It is located in the frontier, close to Freljord in the north..."
Jincheng glanced at the face full of mercenary atmosphere impatiently, and couldn't help muttering in his heart:
Why does this guy look like he was born to be hanged and hung on the street lamp for public display.
Kisinia rubbed his hands nervously, stood beside Jincheng with a smile on his face, and said flatteringly:
"My Lord Viscount, you may not know this!
This is the territory under the jurisdiction of Count Laurent!
If those barbarians from the north come to rob us, we can just hide in the mountains!
If we hide in the deep mountains and forests, they will definitely not be able to find us!
Besides, there is nothing to rob in our remote and poor area!
After they leave, Dragon Tongue Castle will naturally send troops to quell the rebellion...
There is no need to use force at all~
How can those northern barbarians compare with the Noxians? The Freljordians look fierce, but they are just a mob! "
Kisinia was secretly proud of himself. Since the viscount came here, he has shown great concern for the financial situation of the territory.
And as the person in charge of financial power, Kisinia's status has naturally risen.
Now when dealing with others, his back is much straighter than before.
"We must never go on like this in the future! The territory that belongs to us must be protected by ourselves! "
Jincheng said to Kisinya with a serious expression and issued a stern warning.
Then, he turned his head and glanced at the group of knights behind him.
I saw that the armor of several knights had become loose due to long-term lack of exercise, and even deformed by their bulging bellies.
Obviously, they have not received strict military training for a long time.
This situation is really too bad! Jincheng sighed in his heart, but he was helpless.
Faced with such an abstract scene, he really didn't know what to say.
However, since the problem is already in front of us, we must find a way to solve it.
Jincheng decided to personally take action and first conduct special training for this group of militias for a period of time, and then hand them over to Shivana for subsequent training matters.
Of course, considering In reality, in addition to training, these serfs also need to continue to complete their original farming tasks.
After all, agricultural production is also an important source of livelihood.
Jincheng actually had plans for this arrangement.
Because he knew very well that in the society of his previous life, people could endure the busy pace of life like social animals.
So, he firmly believed that the serfs could do it.
Master Jincheng was merciful and gave money.
Giving money can avoid the serfs from feeling depressed or resistant, and also prevent these serfs from being negative.
As long as they are given certain economic incentives, such as using copper coins as rewards, these serfs will see the so-called hope.
They will also actively ask to participate in training and labor, and they will shout:
"I want to train! I want to farm!"
