Because of a dream, Lynn didn't lose anything.

However, the dream system creates a possibility of similar self-correction.

This made him start to be a little bit alert.

But the more this is the case, the more Lynn is sure of the necessity of launching an unprecedented campaign of land reclamation in the north, preparing to ask for food from the barren mountains.

No matter what the so-called origin of all things means in the next system upgrade.

Lin En plans to stock up on enough food to explode a wave of strong soldiers before the system upgrades, so be prepared.

Lynn's expeditionary force of 3,000 people went north together, ready to be stationed in the last two mixed independent battalions in Hearth City.

A total of 5,000 troops marched out of Baigang City with 30 carriages of grain and food.

Wherever the army passed, all pirates in the northern border were silenced.

Go north along the banks of the Bairen River.

Everywhere you can see the hills that used to be covered with bushes gradually begin to bald, the bushes are cut down, the hills are excavated, and occasionally there are farmers who drive mules and cattle, and carry ploughs, diligently reclaiming the mountains.

Many grasslands around the estuary have also been dug into bare patches, which is a sign that the soil has been tilled.

Lin En gave a death order. As long as the nobles in the entire northern region swore allegiance to Lin En, and the farmers in his territory were willing to cultivate wasteland, no one was allowed to stop them.

The lord can still recruit the farmers in the territory according to the law to work for you, but he is not allowed to hinder the farmers from reclaiming the one-third of the land that belongs to them.

As for the land, it belongs to the noble lords, and the nobles have the right not to hand over their territories to the peasants.

It's simple, the Bolton family, the Karstark family, and the rest of the rebel families in the northern territory will replace some of the manor owners in the south.

The land belongs to Lynn, and Lynn intends to share it with the farmers as long as they clear the land for themselves.

The Bolton family is a big family, and the territory directly under his family measures like the sea.

With Lynn's promise.

The enthusiasm of the people in the north for reclamation is constantly rising.

A manor owner disobeyed the order conveyed by White Harbor and detained the farmers in the territory without permission, not allowing them to carry out additional reclamation and farming, and did not agree to exchange the Bolton family land with his territory with Lynn.

the next day.

The manor owner was beheaded in public by a White Harbor sweeping light cavalry, and his body was hung on the gate of the manor.

For all the lords of the north, replacing the territory is Lynn's lowest bottom line.

The enthusiasm of the farmers for reclamation instantly rose to the extreme.

Most of the land in the north is extremely barren, but the farmers are very happy. Even the landowners can't stop them from starting to open up wasteland in the middle of the night. Once farmers have land, it seems that they have it in their lives. Relying on, even if it is a piece of only growing some wild vegetables and not growing wheat, they will make them cherish it extremely.

Land has always belonged only to the lord. Only if the lord allows a farmer to own a small piece of land, he is qualified to own it.

Now it's different. Reclamation of wasteland comes from ten to nine. If ten acres of land are reclaimed, one acre of land will belong to the farmer's family from now on.

Such a policy is timeless, who dares to choose the thin?

Your eyes only see that the land in the south is fertile, but the fields there have always belonged only to the nobles.

Are the mountains full of stones? What does it matter? Just dig out the stones and pick up the soil. There is no water on the mountain? Easy to do, dig a big pond on the top of the mountain. As long as there is enough rain in the coming year, the pond will soon be full of water. If the mules cannot get up, they will be killed. This is an idea only for rich people. only cows? A man can plow the field like a plow...

No matter how bad the field is, as long as the crops are planted with the utmost care, there will always be a harvest.

Lynn rested her chin on both hands, lying on the window of a well-built carriage. Looking sadly at the fiery farmers on the opposite mountain.

Where the Gripen flag is flying, the enthusiasm of the farmers will decrease slightly, until they watch the northern army completely away from their sight, and they start to work harder to make up for the lazy time just now...

Although the continent of Westeros does not adopt slavery like Essos across the narrow sea, but mostly feudal landlords, the noble lords also have great rights over the peasants in their territories, although they do not have the power to kill on the surface. , but that's only because they're more interested in squeezing farmers' crops for their own use.

Most farmers not only need to farm for the lords in the castle or manor, they also sometimes serve the lord's hunting.

And one more important point, the beasts and even the wood in the forest and the fish in the river belong to the lord, and they cannot be picked or salvaged without permission.

So what is the life of an ordinary farmer like?

Two simple words: work!

A little more complicated: work all year round.

Farmers are working all year round, ploughing fields, planting beans, herding sheep, and herding cattle. Farmers work non-stop throughout the year, but they are still hungry and clothed. This is not because farmers do not work hard, because the fields are privately owned. , most of the land is occupied by the lords, and most farmers have no right to reclamation at all.

Therefore, the peasants of Westeros are more like serfs of the lord's family at this moment.

The fields are all cultivated by the lord's family, and some of them may have inherited a little bit of land from their ancestors.

But after years and months, they found that the land in their hands was finally dwindling,

Either occupied by powerful lords, or sold because of poverty.

The peasants who do not have the right to cultivate are all long-term cheap workers from the lord's family.

If you don't become a farmer, what else can you do in the village? It is best to be the representative of the lord, but this is usually the relatives and friends of the lord and the landlord. The farmer has nothing to do with it. There is also a craftsman, such as blacksmiths and cattle herders, because everyone needs them, and they are also very popular. Yes, but these crafts are not so easy to learn. All craftsman's skills are not passed down. Some farmers' second sons, to become craftsmen, have to be apprentices for a few years.

This kind of apprentice is not the apprentice in our current sense, but is synonymous with coolie. The hard work at home is handed over to you. You sleep in the pigsty every day, and don’t want to be full. Look at the master's mind.

However, even so, it is not something you can do if you want to be an apprentice. It is only possible if your father asks for a lot and sends a bunch of gifts.

Lynn's army stopped at the entrance of a small village outside the manor outside Horwood Castle. Not far away, a child was very skilled in screening the rotten beans on the ground.

The beans are packed in a dustbin~www.wuxiahere.com~ The little boy shakes the dustbin in his hand every time, and quickly picks up the jumping beans of different colors, and every time the rotten beans are picked up from the dustbin One, the smile on the little boy's face was even happier.

When all the rotten beans were turned out, the boy carefully packed the rotten beans in a sackcloth bag.

In the end, he stumbled and ran into the village. This is his harvest today.

The good beans need to be handed over to the lord, and they will become his family's ration if they are so bad.

Lynn leaned against the carriage window and looked at it for a long time, feeling that his eyes were a little dazzled, so he scolded the bull riding on a tall horse outside the carriage, "Damn, let you bring more food, you He even loaded me with potatoes, and most of the thirty carriages were filled with potatoes. You ate so many potatoes without having sores on your buttocks?

Today, it is my kindness to rest outside the village and let the farmers in the village who only know how to work cheaply help us digest it.

What are you stunned for? I know before it gets dark, and I know Horwood City is just a few miles away, but I don't want to live in the Mandalay family's new mansion, I don't want to eat potatoes, and I don't want to chew on his house The mutton has been bumped all the way, and it is too fishy and easy to nausea.

I am here today! The charcoal stove in my carriage is no longer warm. I plan to have a fire here. I leave early tomorrow, and in two days, I can almost reach the last hearth city. "
