Chapter 582 The aftermath of the rebellion 3

Stanford stepped onto the ground of Port Fulan through the springboard.

Ah, he returned to his parents safely again. He turned around and looked at the boat. A group of people on the boat were excitedly looking towards the side of the boat towards the city of Fulangang.

He waved to the boat, "Brothers, we are going home!"

"Oh!" "Long live!" A burst of cheers broke out from the boat.

With the support of Lord Paul Grayman, Stanford led his old troops and newly added team members, carrying sufficient food and fresh water and sailed north again. This time the size of the fleet doubled compared to the last time. There are six three-masted sailing ships.

In addition to the necessary supplies, they also carried a large amount of goods for trading with the indigenous tribes along the way. Whether they could make a profit was secondary, but mainly for cultivating friendship with the locals.

They visited the Stag Tribe in the Far North again, and were pleasantly surprised to find that the members of the first exploration team who stayed here to recuperate when they arrived here last time were still living healthily.

When they arrived at the Bucks Tribe, winter had not yet ended, and Stanford’s fleet contained a large amount of supplies for the winter. The natives of the Bucks Tribe welcomed them happily, including briquettes, stoves, cotton-padded clothes, Canned food is very popular among locals.

After some exploration of the surrounding area, Stanford returned with the first batch of exploration team members who had been away from home for a long time. Of course, there were still a group of team members who stayed to study and study the local indigenous people. language and customs.

The exploration team returned to Port Fulan loaded with precious medicinal materials and animal skins. After arranging for people to guard the ship, Stanford announced a vacation, and most of them hurried home, especially those members of the first batch of exploration team who did not come back last time. There are also a small number of people who go to the city to have a good time and have a good time.

Stanford set off to Lake Town to report on this trip. He had some important things to tell Count Grayman face to face.

“Hey, isn’t this our Captain Stanford?”

Stanford, who was riding a horse, met one of his old friends, Grit, on the way. A businessman who spends many years at sea, Stanford had cooperated with him many times when he was a merchant ship captain.

“Glit, I really didn’t expect to meet you here.”

"This must be the guidance of the Lord of Light. Didn't you explore the north again? Are you coming back?"

"Yes, I just came back, what about you?"

"Go to Lake Town to discuss business. Tell me about your adventures quickly!"

The two walked together and chatted happily along the way. When they heard Stanford say that the people in the northern part of the Rocky Mountains There are countless precious products in the wilderness, and when the expedition team came back this time loaded with medicinal materials and furs, Greet's eyes lit up as a businessman.

"Stanford, my good man, let me know when you set out next time. I will definitely build a big ship to follow you to make a fortune."

"Haha, if our lord allows it. Oh, by the way... Greet, I want to ask you something."

"Are there any pirates going on recently?" Greet was very worried. Confused, he scratched his head and said, "No, why do you ask that? Pirates have been extinct for several years."

Stanford said doubtfully: "I just met a team being escorted The prisoners were really in a line, and they lined up for a long distance. How could this happen if it wasn't a large-scale gang crime? "

"Oh, you said that!" Li Te touched his nose and guessed roughly, "They are probably the rebels from the villages in the north. It seems that the new labor camp has been repaired, so we should move them there."

"Rebel...rebel...rebellious against the people?" Stanford was shocked by Glitter's words.

Glitt glanced at him, "What? Don't you know yet?"

"I didn't stay in Fulan Port for long after I got off the ship."

"Then let me tell you, not long ago a rebellion broke out in Arda against Earl Graiman. Several villages in the north, headed by Barbor, took Graiman away in the name of asking the lord to hunt. The adults lured them to their place, and then almost... In short, the situation was very dangerous, and there was even a rebellion in the middle of the lake. Fortunately, the rebellion was eventually put down."

Stanford was worried. Question: "Is Master Graiman okay?"

Grit waved his hand and replied: "Our lord must have been protected by the gods, and nothing happened. Of course, although he was fine at the time, he was definitely furious afterwards. Let me tell you..." He looked around and saw no one. Finally, he continued in a low voice: "Although the count usually has a reputation for kindness, he is really merciless towards traitors. Oops, in that scene, the villages suspected of rebellion, especially the village of Babor, were almost completely occupied. The whole village was arrested. "

"It's not just that, because the people who participated in the rebellion were all squire and landlords. In short, it was only those big families who had been entrenched in the countryside for generations. Mr. Grayman also took part in the rebellion. The landowners who had not participated in the rebellion were also blamed. The count deprived them all of their status and rights as tax contractors, and he also made laws prohibiting them from imposing private penalties - you know this kind of thing was common in the countryside. "< br>
“And they also sent people to check the debts in the countryside one by one, and burned any debts that were unreasonable. I remember that I was a guest at a friend’s house in the countryside. There were also many debts in my friend’s house. I usually make some loans. At that time, someone from the town came to check the accounts. Well... there were many accounts in his house with relatively high interest rates, and then my friend's wife was burned down in front of the lord. He cried loudly, rolled around in the yard, and threw himself into the fire. But what was the use? In the end, my friend pulled his wife out of the fire and gave her two slaps. , took it to the house."

"Isn't this... the lord afraid of stirring up another rebellion?"

"Rebellion? Who dares?" Lite opened his mouth wide, "You don't know. During that time, all the demobilized soldiers were recalled to the army. Alda, Bailding, and Emden were all on high alert. Who would offend someone at this time?" What about an angry lion that looks suspicious to everyone?”

After understanding the general story of the matter, Stanford shook his head, "I didn't expect the impact to be so big."

"Hehe, actually I am quite happy to see this situation, as well as those of me who run factories Friends...ah, I'm not talking about the rebellion itself, but the measures taken by the lord afterwards."

"How to say?"

"Because under the lord's order, those landowners. We can no longer confine the mud-legged people in the countryside, and many people from the countryside have begun to work in the cities.”
