Lord of the North

Even Barry and the others were discovered by the sharp-eyed Jason, and the young man was arrested! Be responsible for supervising these city guards!

"My lord, we..." Barry hesitated when he heard Jason's arrangement.

It's not that they are afraid that Jason will be another brutal lord and don't believe him. Just as Jason thought, the entire Iron Fang Territory would be grateful to him after killing Sir Orchi! It's just that they are all groups that are bullied by these people on weekdays. Now they suddenly have to supervise these people, but they are a little uneasy, afraid that they will not do well.

"Don't worry, they don't dare to confront you, after all, you are my people now!" Jason was full of confidence, but why did he feel that these words were a bit awkward!

"Yes, my lord!" Barry also felt that something was wrong, but he didn't think too much about it.

"In a few days, you can bring your family members to the town!" Jason thought for a while and said again. The iron tooth town is so big, but it has a population of less than 10,000! Is this all right? ! The number of townspeople must be increased! Otherwise, where will the people be engaged in production? How did the territorial economy develop?

"My lord!" Barry glanced at Jason in shock! It's too hasty!

"You took care of Alexis's grandfather for so long after she passed away for free. I think you are not a bad character, so you can be my bodyguard first!" Jason smiled and patted his arm. In fact, he wanted to pat her Shoulders, unfortunately he is only fifteen years old now, he is too short, and Barry is almost two meters tall! He can't reach it!

"I still need a dozen strong young men for the time being, and I don't know the place here, so I'll decide on you first!" He didn't want to recruit guards so hastily, but he needed someone to guard him right now. The castle has limited conditions, so it is enough to recruit these dozen first, and it happens that he still has more than a dozen sets of standard equipment of the Royal Guards that can be used to arm them.

"I'll give you ten big silver coins a month!" Jason said after thinking for a while.

The conversion of coins in this world is based on the decimal system, and one gold coin is equal to one hundred large silver coins! The same is true for copper coins and silver coins, and four copper coins to buy a black bread, four or five large silver coins are enough for them to live well for a month!

Gold coins are generally only circulated among nobles or merchants!

"Thank you, my lord!" Uncle Barry and the others were instantly excited, and bowed their heads respectfully. They used to be just hunters. They lived a precarious life in this northern land for decades, and they lost their lives in the wild at some point. , Now that Jason is willing to hire him, it means that the life of the family will be guaranteed in the future!

"Go, gather the townspeople to the square as quickly as possible!"

"Yes!" Barry took his Orion, who is now Jason's castle guard, and excitedly ran to supervise the work of the city guards. This was their first mission, and they needed to perform well!

Jason brought the little girl, Lancelot, and a small group of city guards to the town square in advance to build a small platform for him to speak! But there are thousands of people in the town, he can't let everyone hear his voice! What an inconvenience caused by backward technology!

Lorna, the little fox girl, was pitifully left in the castle to sort out the gifts from Sir Orchid. Her appearance was too conspicuous to be seen in public.

He was a little excited to participate in this kind of event for the first time! But when he thought that he didn't know how many people there were in the town, he felt a little panicked! Be sure to conduct a census later!

After a period of time, the townspeople rushed to the square one after another, everyone had some anxiety or anticipation on their faces! Expect the new lord to be a benevolent one! Most of them heard what happened last night, and they wouldn't naively think that it was just playing house!

They also asked the city guards about what happened last night, and they were shocked when they learned that Sir Orchi was killed last night! This is really a joy!

After everyone arrived, it was already past noon. Commoners usually only eat two meals a day, and usually don't eat lunch, but Jason's stomach made a "cuckling" sound!

He glanced at the people around him in embarrassment.

Fortunately, they are all sensible!

"Ahem!" Jason was still very nervous looking at the crowds of people in the audience. After all, he was only a member of the audience in his previous life.

"People of the Iron Fang Territory, hello! I am your lord, the Marquis Jason Lopez of the Kingdom!" He has been enfeoffed, and he can no longer call himself a prince, and the Marquis sounds more sensible!

Where is the applause? What about cheering? Jason looked at the leaders in the audience in a daze.

director! This script is wrong!

Jason felt that maybe his self-introduction failed to resonate with them! Suppressing the awkward atmosphere, he continued his speech!

"In the past, you were oppressed and exploited by Sir Auqi! Now, the evil Sir Auqi has been punished, and your past life will be gone forever!" There were already discussions and praises from the audience, Jia Sen is very satisfied with the effect!

Jason decided to let the townspeople elect a highly respected person to be the mayor, and separate some people from the city guards to form a security brigade to handle various chores and disputes in the town and maintain basic law and order! From now on, the city guards are only responsible for guarding the safety of the town!

His purpose of doing this is to divide these people. After all, these people used to be in the same group. Jason can't be completely at ease with them, but when there is a conflict of interest, they can't always be of one mind! Only in this way can I have the opportunity to gather a group of people!

There is no strong alliance in the world, if there is, it must be because the interests or temptations are not big enough! This is what Jason has always believed in!

What's more, the various taxes in the territory will be restored to the normal level of the kingdom, and the tax will be reduced or exempted for one year to restore the living standards of the townspeople!

What followed was some unnutritious polite words, these Jason said casually, just pitiful for his subjects, everyone was drowsy after listening to them! For example, Alexis sitting behind, holding her big sword, drooling from the corner of her mouth! I don't know what delicious food I dreamed about!

In the end, Jason shouted impassionedly: "Our future is bright, our future is full of hope! We are strong, the enemy is weak, and we are invincible! Let us fight for the future of Iron Fang! Let's fight together!"

Then he opened his hands, ready to receive the cheers and praises of the townspeople, but...

The scene was full of buzz, but no one applauded and cheered for him! The leaders in the audience were all excitedly asking each other if they heard it wrong, Yunyun! And the person standing behind is blank, we didn't hear wow!

Jason put down his hands embarrassingly, saying that he had never been so embarrassed before! After coughing twice, he ordered the townspeople to disperse and go home!

With a dark face, he took Alexis and his newly recruited guards to the castle, while Lancelot was ordered to reorganize the city guard and select the chief of the security team! If anyone disobeys the order, use him as an example to others! Well, Lord Jason is not in a very good mood right now!

It's unreasonable for him to reflect on himself while walking! Even if what you say is not so impassioned, it's okay for you to applaud for the face of the leader!

"Barry, what do you think of what I said?!" Jason had a serious face, his eyes were a little dangerous, if Barry didn't give him a satisfactory answer, he might be the one who kept watch tonight!

"Huh?" Uncle Barry looked confused, I couldn't understand!

Just looking at his expression, Jason already got the answer!

"You stay up all night tonight!"

Barry had a bitter face, he was not afraid of vigil, but he didn't know where he said something wrong, and he didn't say anything!

When a few suppressed laughter came from behind him, his face became as dark as the lord's!

"You can't run away tonight! Watch the night with me!"

A burst of wailing came, and Jason suddenly felt that his mood was much better, and he walked briskly!

Alexis has a dazed face, and she hasn't woken up from her doze yet!
