Chapter 356 Long Live Pompeii

Windsor City, the villa of the big farmer Fanxia.

The children in the family went to school, but they did not go to the free school of White Eagle, but went to study at the home of a scholar.

Although there are free schools, the rich nobles obviously prefer traditional aristocratic education.

Mrs. Fanxia is doing housework, but she is distracted from time to time, and her face shows worry. The overall environment of the entire White Eagle Territory is not very good now.

Fanxia went out today, intending to sell grain, land, and serfs. I don’t know what the situation is.

With a sound of footsteps, the door was opened. Mrs. Fanxia showed joy on her face and greeted, "You are back?"

Reaching out to take off Fanxia's coat, Fanxia waved her hand and took it off by herself and put it on the hanger in front of the door.

Fanxia is fat and afraid of heat, and at this moment he is sweating profusely.

Seeing her husband like this, Mrs. Fanxia immediately had a bad premonition in her heart.

"Damn it, those grain merchants have stopped buying grain. Not only did our land not produce anything this year, but we also lost money to feed the serfs. I plan to sell the land, but the price of the land is only 50% of last year's, and it is still falling. No one wants to take over the serfs. Because there is no profit in taking over the serfs, but they have to feed the serfs."

"The farming business is over."

Fancia was sweating profusely. After taking off her coat, she also unbuttoned her shirt.

"What should we do?" Mrs. Fancia said in dismay.

"What else can we do? Sell the valuable land first, and find a way to deal with the serfs. As for the grain, there is no choice but to store it and wait until next year to see the situation."

Fancia smiled bitterly and shook her head.

Damn it.

Pompeii family, Pompeii family.

Why do you let the peasants and serfs have enough food? If they have enough food, where can we go to squeeze money?

Damn it.

The big farmers who secretly cursed Pompey and were as anxious as ants on a hot pot were not just the Vancia family.

There were many such farmers in the entire White Eagle Territory, and they had many serfs under their command, at least more than 300,000 adults.

These people were invisible populations, not under the jurisdiction of the City Hall, and did not generate tax revenue.

They lived like livestock, only working as slaves for the big farmers.

And now the serfs have become as hot potatoes as land and food.

Under such circumstances, the City Hall, under the approval of Governor Luther and Pompey, and under the execution of the Consul and Mayor of Pompey, Lelouch, formulated a decree to abolish serfdom.

Seven cities, towns and villages under them.

Go down one level at a time and issue laws.

Serfdom is illegal.

Not only that, the City Hall also sent many propagandists to promote this matter from street to street.

In Pompeii.

Whether it is a place with a lot of people or a place with a little people, whether it is a civilian area or a noble villa area, there are a large number of people carrying out propaganda work.

"After the signature of the Governor and the execution of the Archon, the White Eagle Territory officially abolished the serf system. In the future, if anyone is found to use serfs for production or farming, they will be sentenced."

"In addition, in view of the current situation in the White Eagle Territory, the City Hall is willing to accept all serfs and transform them to make them qualified workers. If there are factories willing to hire these workers, please contact the City Hall."

A large number of propagandists are carrying out such propaganda work.

This incident brought further impact to Luther.

Before this, Luther announced that he would provide all civilians with the ability to go to school for free, which was regarded as an alien by the nobles. It was a kind of neutralization idea between the traditional nobles and the new party.

And now with Luther, Pompey announced the abolition of the serf system in the White Eagle Territory, which further revealed Luther's tendency.

But no one cares about this matter anymore.

On the one hand, the nobles who have serfs are a minority after all, and now the price of serfs is low, no one is willing to take over. The city hall is willing to take over, and the big farmers are eager to do so.

On the other hand, the military strength of the Pompeii family is outstanding.

And the prestige of the White Eagle emblem is very high.

With the implementation of this law, a large number of large farmers sent their serfs to the city hall, which received them uniformly and transformed them.

A large number of serfs will become workers and create tax revenue for the White Eagle Territory.

Farmers sold a lot of land, no matter how low the price was, they gritted their teeth and sold it. Because they found that farming had no future.

Under such circumstances, the livestock company of the Pompeii family and the original grain merchants each took out funds to buy a large number of fields and planned to transform them into pastures.

In response to the rapidly expanding meat market.

And the city hall announced another final event.

The Pompeii family will unite many merchants to purchase the grain from the farmers at 60% of last year's grain price.

Under such circumstances, the farmers' grain output this year is 30% higher than last year, while the price has lost 40%. This loss is not too big.

This immediately won the Pompeii family a reputation.

Long live Pompeii!!!

Yangjiao Village.

In the small meeting room of the village chief Heishan's home, Heishan village chief and five village officials sat together, and everyone's expressions were both surprised and happy.

"I didn't expect the Pompeii family to really make a move. They took the lead in purchasing wheat at 60% of the price last year. In this way, our loss is not too big."

A village official said with a smile.

"Too much grain was produced this year. The Pompeii family purchased the grain, but it couldn't be digested for a while. This is losing money and protecting the farmers. Alas. The Pompeii family is really kind. The governor is worthy of being a kind person."

Heishan village chief sighed and said.

Suddenly, the village officials present were in awe.

Luther, Pompey, this gentleman nicknamed "the merciful one", is indeed extremely merciful.

"Thanks to the white eagle emblem, our loss this time is not too big. But this is also a lesson. We have to arrange the strong laborers in the village to work in the city, and we can't focus all our eyes on the land. Besides, we have Bass cattle, and the fields can't be abandoned."

The head of Montenegro said.

"I will count it. The price of grain is so low this year. I believe many people are willing to work in the city. Even mining is much better than farming."

A village official nodded and said.

"Long live Pompey."

Ani, after hearing the news, the Asiya family also raised their arms, and the couple shouted stupidly.

Although farmers will not go bankrupt because of low grain prices, seeing so much grain, but not being able to exchange money, they feel very uncomfortable.

Only by exchanging money can we buy some clothes for the children and supplement the family expenses.

In this case, the Pompey family took the lead in purchasing grain. Long live, long live, long live.

The White Eagle Emblem, the reputation of the Pompeii family in the White Eagle Territory has almost reached its peak.
