The children at home went to school, but they did not go to Baiying's free school, but went to a scholar's home to study.
Although there are free schools, wealthy aristocrats obviously prefer traditional aristocratic education.
Mrs. Fancia is doing housework, but she gets distracted from time to time, with a look of worry on her face. The current environment in the White Eagle Territory is not very good.
Fan Xia went out today, planning to sell grain, land, and serfs. I don’t know what the situation is.
Amidst the sound of footsteps, the door was opened. Mrs. Fancia came out with a look of joy on her face, "Are you back?"
He reached out to take off Fan Xia's coat, but Fan Xia waved his hand and took it off himself, putting it on the clothes rack in front of the door.
Fanxia people are very fat, afraid of heat, and are sweating profusely at this moment.
Seeing her husband like this, Mrs. Fancia suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
"Damn it, those grain merchants have stopped buying grain. Not only has our land not produced anything this year, but we have also lost money to feed the serfs. I plan to sell the fields, but the price of the fields is 50% of last year's.
It continues to decline. There is no one 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."
Fan Xia was sweating profusely. After taking off her coat, she also unbuttoned her shirt.
"Then what should we do?" Mrs. Fancia asked with a pale face.
"What else can we do? Sell the valuable fields first and let the serfs find a way to deal with them. As for the grain, we have no choice but to store it and wait to see what happens next year."
Fan Xia smiled bitterly and shook her head.
Damn it.
Pompeii's, Pompeii's.
Why do you want the peasants and serfs to have enough to eat? When they have enough to eat, where can we go to extract money?
hateful.
It was not just Fancia's family who secretly scolded Pompeii and were as anxious as ants on the hot pot.
There are many such farmers throughout the White Eagle Territory, and they have many, many serfs under them, with an adult population of at least 300,000.
This group of people is an invisible population, not under the jurisdiction of the city hall, and does not generate tax revenue.
They live like livestock, only making cattle and horses for large farmers.
But now the serfs, like land and food, have become a hot potato.
Under such circumstances, the City Hall, with the approval of Governor Luther Pompeii and the execution of Lelouch, the consul and mayor of Pompeii, formulated a decree to abolish serfdom.
Seven cities, their towns and villages.
Go down level by level and issue laws.
Serfdom was illegal.
Not only that, the city hall also sent many publicity personnel to publicize the matter on the streets.
Inside Pompeii.
Whether it is a place with a lot of people or a place with a low flow of people, whether it is a civilian area or an aristocratic villa area, there are a large number of people carrying out propaganda work.
"After being signed by the Governor and executed by the Consul, the White Eagle Territory has officially abolished the serfdom system. In the future, anyone found using serfs for production or farming will be sentenced to prison."
"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 into qualified workers. If there is a factory willing to hire these workers, please contact the city hall."
Large numbers of propaganda personnel carry out such propaganda work.
This incident had a further impact on Luther.
Prior to this, Luther announced that all civilians would be able to go to school for free, which was regarded as an alien by the nobles. It was a neutralizing idea between the traditional nobles and the new party.
And now with Luther and Pompeii announcing the abolition of serfdom in the White Eagle Territory, Luther's tendency is even more exposed.
But no one cares about this matter anymore.
On the one hand, there are only a few nobles with serfs, and the price of serfs is so low now that no one is willing to take over. The city hall is willing to take over, and the large farmers are eager to do so.
On the other hand, the Pompeii family's military power is outstanding.
Moreover, the prestige of the white eagle coat of arms is very high.
With the implementation of this law, large numbers of large farmers sent their serfs to the city hall, which received them and transformed them.
Large numbers of serfs will be employed as workers, creating tax revenue for the White Eagle Territory.
Farmers sold their fields in large quantities, no matter how low the price, because they found that farming had no future.
Under such circumstances, the Pompeii family's livestock company and the original grain merchants each used funds to purchase a large number of fields, intending to transform them into pastures.
To cope with the rapidly expanding meat market.
And the city hall announced another final event.
The Pompeii family will unite many businessmen to purchase the grain from farmers at 60% of last year's grain price.
Under such circumstances, farmers' grain output this year is 30% higher than last year, while prices have lost 40%. This loss is not too big.
This immediately won the Pompeii family prestige.
Long live Pompeii!!!
Giethoorn.
In the small conference room at the home of the village chief Heishan, the village chief Heishan and five village officials were sitting together. The expressions on everyone's faces were both surprised and happy.
"I didn't expect that the Pompeii family would actually take action. They took the lead in purchasing wheat at 60% of last year's price. In this way, our loss is not too great."
A village official said with a smile.
"There is too much grain produced this year. The Pompeii family purchased the grain, but it will not be digested for a while. This is to pay for themselves and protect the farmers. Alas, the Pompeii family is really kind. Your Majesty the Governor, you are indeed kind.
”
The head of Heishan Village sighed and said.
Suddenly, the village officials present were in awe.
Luther, Pompey, the man nicknamed "The Merciful", was indeed extremely merciful.
"Thanks to the White Eagle Emblem, our losses this time are 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 cannot focus entirely on the land. Besides, we have Ba
Even if the fields are like cattle, they will not be left uncultivated."
The head of Heishan Village said.
"I will make statistics. With food prices 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 Pompeii."
After Ani and Asiya's family learned the news, they also raised their arms, and the couple yelled stupidly.
Although it is said that farmers will not go bankrupt because of low food prices, seeing so much food but not being able to get money makes me feel very uncomfortable.
After changing the money, I can buy some clothes for the children and supplement the household income.
In this case, the Pompeii 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 is almost at its peak.
