Chapter 1 Traveling through another world to become a lord
"What the hell, where is this?" Rocco woke up in a daze. He found himself lying on a somewhat luxurious bed, and when he recalled everything on the Blue Star, he had the urge to curse.
He was originally a loser on the earth. He usually liked to stay at home and watch cartoons and movies. He thought he would spend his whole life like this. Who knew that he would travel to a blue star similar to the earth. Rocco, who was already alone, didn't care.
.But who would have thought that before he could figure out his identity, he heard a majestic voice ringing from the Blue Star.
"The reincarnation of human beings on Blue Star is about to begin, and reincarnation will begin in one day."
Later, Rocco also digested the information in his mind. It turned out that people in this world knew about this a year ago, and from then on, the people in Blue Star began to exercise crazily.
"Damn, this is a great opportunity. Isn't this reincarnation just like the stuff in those novels on Earth?" Rocco murmured to himself.
Recalling the information he just received, Hehe sneered: "What the hell, this world doesn't have these movies and animations? What if..."
Before he could get over his excitement, a mechanical voice came from his head: "Hey, it has been detected that there is a scanning of the Great Will in the current plane, start the teleportation."
In this way, Rocco fainted without realizing his lofty ambition.
"Did I travel through time twice? Damn it."
After digesting the information in his current body, Rocco said with a sad face: "It's over. Can a small lord compare with the reincarnation of Blue Star? Am I going to be a country lord with a harem of three thousand for the rest of my life?"
In his memory, he can now be the lord of a territory. The old lord died early. It was all thanks to this body's management talent that he managed this originally a little downtrodden territory in an orderly manner in a few years.
"Then am I picking peaches now?" Rocco thought happily as he touched his chin.
That's fine. Compared to the dangerous reincarnation, it's better to live a happy life as a little lord in this other world.
At dawn, Rocco got up. He couldn't wait to see this territory that belonged to him.
"Lord, please prepare it early."
"Um."
These are the servants and maids of the lord's castle. They are the children of those families in the territory who live in relatively difficult circumstances. They are also the predecessors who did this.
"Steward, do we have enough food reserves in our territory this year?" he asked while eating.
The butler who was waiting next to him replied respectfully: "Master, due to your series of policies and tax exemptions last year, every household in the territory has food today, and families with a larger population can still have some money left. Now all the citizens in the territory have food.
I am grateful to the young master."
Rocco nodded and said nothing. He already knew these things in his memory. The reason why he asked was to confirm. It would be troublesome if the people in his territory had no food and could not survive the winter.
"Steward, I will announce in a moment that each person who is good at farming today will be allocated an additional acre of land this year. From now on, each household will only need to pay 40% of the grain each year."
The butler was stunned, 40%? You know, in this world, the tax revenue in the nobles' territories is at least 60% tax. Now that the young master is issuing such an order, isn't he cutting off his roots?
"Young master, no." the butler said hurriedly.
Rocco looked curiously at the housekeeper who had served his family for three generations and asked, "What's wrong, housekeeper?" When Roko thought about it, one family had to hand over 40%, and there were now almost a thousand households in his territory, not counting.
How many people live in a household? Forty percent is already a lot.
"Master, if we only collect 40% of the tax, and don't mention the army and servants of our territory, even the lords of other lords will have bad thoughts about our territory if they find out." The steward explained.
Hearing what the butler said, Rocco realized that he was just acting according to his previous thinking, but now he has a large group of people under his command, and the other lords are also a problem.
"Well, yes, what the steward said is right. I didn't think carefully about it just now. So, steward, what are the taxes in other territories?"
The housekeeper was a little relieved to hear that the young master could think through what he just said. The young master has this advantage, as long as he is right, he can listen to it.
"Master, around our territory, their taxes are almost 70% or more. In the past, the tax set by the master was 65%." The steward said bitterly.
To be honest, according to the taxes set by the master before, each family in the territory can barely make ends meet based on this year's harvest. In other territories, hey...
"Seventy percent? Sixty-and-a-half percent? How can the people in the territory have enough food? How many of each household must starve to death every year?" He knew that he had become a lord in his territory in the past few years, and a child in the territory was born today.
How many little lives. In previous years, it could be said to be development, but this year it has obviously improved. Should we just ignore it? Rocco can't do such a thing.
Although he was an otaku on earth, he fought fiercely in school and fought with the mixed-bloods in the society. Either Rocco talked nonsense, or he stayed at home for a few years, and the gangsters on the street saw
Even though he was hiding far away, he could tell that Rocco was not as simple an otaku as he seemed.
