MTL - Noble Emblem-Chapter 14 Level up (on)

He put a pair of small hands in front of Liang Lidong. If it is on the earth, a child of this age usually has clean hands, but here he only sees a pair of brown-yellow hands covered with cocoons. Even Belin, the girl around her, had big cocoons on her hands. The civilians in this world will always be hardworking, but they will never be able to fill their stomachs. As long as there is a small drought, some people will starve to death. They diligently cultivate their small land, harvestable food, six Chengdu was handed over to the lord, and the remaining 10% had to be handed over to the village chief, leaving only 30% to himself.

After Liangliang Li became the lord in the game, he only collected 20% of the food tax. In his opinion, this is already very high, and he does not even want to collect food. However, the policy of the state of Holeiwen does not allow him to do so. The lord must collect 20% of the food and only 60% ... The NPC lords of the country of Holeiwen all charge the highest food tax. Liang Lidong's food tax The lowest, the lowest business tax, so attracted a large number of NPC civilians to migrate to his territory to live and develop.

His territory has become a business town within a few years. Not counting the floating population, there are more than 400,000 local residents. Although they are not as good as those historical cities with a population of one million, they continue to develop at this rate and become a million-level population, only about ten or twenty years old. problem. However, because of the migration of too many civilians from nearby to his territory, the NPC lords who bordered his territory were very hostile to him and united several times to attack his territory for inexplicable reasons.

Unfortunately, he has a lot of player friends. There are only 4 people who can become the lord as a player, all of them are the profession of the nobles and nobles, and he is one of them.

Generally speaking, players prefer to gather in the player's lord's territory. Because of their intimacy, the four player lands are called by the players as the four main cities. Players spontaneously gather in these four cities to carry out All kinds of communication, or business activities. Every time the bordering nobles attack Liang Lidong's territory, players will spontaneously protect his territory. Professionals are not the objects that ordinary soldiers can fight, and there is also a large guild stationed in Liang Lidong's territory.

For players of large guilds, every time an enemy army strikes, it is a great opportunity to 'brush experience'. They want the enemy to harass every day, and Liang Lidong is also very good. He implements the policy of long distance and close attack. The other aristocrats of Wen have good relations, but they have always been vicious about several lords bordering themselves. They ran a small cavalry to other people's cities every day and used magic to harass and yell. Since the other party did the first day, Liang Lidong did fifteen, which made the lords miserable.

Several lords wanted to block the commercial route of Liang Lidong's territory, but because of the presence of players, this event became a dream. Merchants went to mercenary unions to issue **** missions. Players formed small groups to receive missions to protect the merchants' Safety, if you dare to embarrass the level, a wave of A will pass. Players can be resurrected when they die, but NPCs cannot. After a while, several lords signed a peace agreement with Liang Lidong privately, their attitude was very low, and they paid a lot of price.

Xi Liang Lidong's war against several lords almost ended in victory, except for a certain prophetic event.

In the game, Liang Lidong implements a low food tax and a low business tax. He also uses the lord system to release a lot of security tasks to the players to undertake, making the law and order in the territory very good. Ordinary civilians live well, at least eat. Full and warm.

Now he sees these children looking pale and hungry, and his whole body is dirty, and his mood is a little uncomfortable: "In the future, you not only wash your hands before writing, but also keep your hands clean. Labor is a glorious act. But after work, you also have to wash your hands and keep your hands as clean as possible. Also, you have to take a bath every day in the future ... If you are dirty, it is disrespect to the text. Do this today, but tomorrow, you You have to wash me clean and come over again. The clothes can be old and can be patched, but not dirty. I do n’t accept profane students here, understand? "

The children nodded vigorously.

Li Liangdong didn't talk about the truth with this group of children. In this era of low productivity, acting in the name of religion is more effective than simply preaching. In the original origins of many civilizations, the so-called rituals are actually self-cleansing behaviors before worshipping the divine residence, which is the process of religious rituals. Clean people always have a lower chance of getting sick. Humans vaguely feel such benefits, and then slowly evolve into ordinary people's daily life. It can be said that it was the original religion or ancestor worship that made Humans become clean.

Seeing that all the children listened to their words, Liang Lidong put up the sign aside, then took out the plant pigment sent by the village chief, and wrote three light red on it in Holavin Big characters:

'I'

'you'

‘He’

Holevin's text is also hieroglyphic, so each word can represent one or several meanings, and the writing of these three words is simple enough, with only two or three strokes, which is very suitable for text enlightenment textbooks.

The children listened very carefully. After Liang Lidong explained the meaning and writing of the three words, they let them practice on the sand, which was why they came to gather by the river. Of course, if you have enough money, you can really use paper to practice writing, but the problem here is all the children of the poor. The normal price of a parchment is 38 copper coins ... except for a few very rich nobles. No one wants to practice using parchment paper from the beginning.

By noon, all the children had mastered the meaning and writing of the three words. Liang Lidong let them take time to practice and familiarize themselves in the afternoon, then announced their dissolution.

At this time, the young laborers who quarried up the mountain have returned. They dumped the stones on the flat ground in the center of the village and formed a small hill. After eating their own dry food and well water, and after a short rest, they began to lay the foundation. Whether a house can be built depends on whether the foundation is laid firmly. Some older students did not rush home, but followed the group of adults to help build the temple.

At this time, naturally, adults asked them how they were studying. These children explained Liang Lidong's requirements. If other people had asked their children to take a bath every day and wash their hands before and after meals, these adults would not take a sip. Scolded that talented man again: You guys have seen the poor children of poor people take a bath once a day.

But Liang Lidong is different. He is a priest, a caster, a special group more noble than aristocracy, and most importantly, their children are now literate, and they can barely be regarded as half a 'scholar' in the future. It is no longer a bitter pariah. Scholars and scholars should follow the etiquette. From now on, the most basic etiquette should be practiced. It is necessary and necessary. This shows that the priest has not fooled them at will, but is teaching the children very seriously. Men.

There is no such thing as ‘put it in the plum, return it in the peach’, but they understand that words ca n’t be learned with money, and Lord Rev. is willing to teach, that ’s the gift of Goddess Wolding. Moreover, if you go to the city to learn words, you will need to receive a gold coin for one hundred words, and it will not cover you, let alone teach you how to write, only teach you to recognize, even if you ca n’t recognize it, it ’s not their business. .

Rev. Rev. Tong teaches the children 540 words, which are converted into gold coins, which is 5 gold and 40 silver. This amount may not be available to everyone in the village for a year without eating or drinking. The village chief of Selli Village sold his first-class beast hides, but he could exchange a lot of gold coins, but that was his accumulation over the decades, and it could be said that it was a matter of life, and he was not willing to exchange it for money.

Since Lord Rev is so generous, they can only reluctantly reciprocate this kind of mercy if they build the temple well with great effort.

Liang Lidong didn't feel how generous he was. To players, a simple literacy tutorial is not worth much. For them, what is really valuable is various combat skills, talents, or magic, and character experience. ...... Teaching students to gain character experience is actually a win-win situation. For players, character experience is more important than that little money.

When Li had lunch, Liang Lidong asked the village chief: "Old Reid, can you borrow Kyle for an afternoon, I plan to go to Winterwind to buy some necessary magic alchemy items."

In the game, Winter Wind City was destroyed by the player's hands, so although Li Lidong has heard of the name of Winter Wind City, he has not been there.

"My Excellency, Kyle is now your student. It is only natural for students to work for the teacher. If you send him, I do n’t have the right to ask questions ~ www.novelbuddy.com ~ Kyle chews the egg made by Liang Lidong Steamed meat and nodded vigorously. As a lively boy, he naturally hopes to play everywhere, but he has to pay a head tax every time he enters the city, which makes him uncomfortable, so if he is fine, he rarely enters. City, but if you follow the teacher, you do n’t have to pay a head tax. Those soldiers and guards who guard the city gate are soft and afraid, and they dare to collect ordinary civilian money, but if they encounter mercenaries, professionals, and casters, farts Do not dare to put one.

"Well, let's call Belin by the way," Liang Lidong said after thinking.

He just found out when teaching children how to read. Kyle is the smartest of all children. He knows the words as soon as he can read them, and it is easy to get started with writing. Belin almost, but compared with other children, he also Can be regarded as a stand-alone chicken flock, which is of great training value. If these two children are cultivated as followers of the goddess of Vol'jin, then he can get the devotion value given by the system, which can be used to exchange for lower divine magic. On the other hand, he can get two helpers to help manage the trivial in the temple. thing.

好 "Okay, I'm going to call Belin now." Kyle stuffed the rest of the bread into his mouth, and then ran out of the door.

"My Excellency Beta ..." The old village chief hesitated for a moment, looking a little embarrassed, and finally said, "If you encounter something inconvenient in Winterwind City, you can go to the black iron tavern in the eastern district and find The old man named 'Iron Hook' has good skills and was a professional in the past. He is willing to do everything as long as he gives enough money. "

Ji Liang Lidong looked up, looked at the old village chief, and asked a little puzzled, "Why did you suddenly tell me these things?"
