Lord of Rot

Chapter 212 Slap the lord in the face

"Deni, maybe you can take a look with your sharp eyes. Porcupine collar is more than just a beautiful house." Claude said: "There are no beggars here. I think it is the only territory in Lurea without beggars."

After hearing what he said, Deni suddenly realized that it seemed to be true. He passed through the livestock village all the way, and there was a wheat field village in front of him. There were no beggars.

"Sir, you make me unbelievable," Denis sighed sincerely.

Only when the lord cares about the residents of the territory and allows everyone to have food to eat will there be fewer beggars.

As for making beggars disappear completely, even the wealthy king cannot do this.

But it’s not that the capital can’t make money, it’s that there are too many rich people, and begging is more profitable than working.

Some people even capture children, chop off their hands and feet, and make them beg.

The nobles would not spare a few silver moons for poor children.

Being able to completely eliminate beggars like the Porcupine Territory is not only due to the excellent governance of the lord, but also the main reason is that the territory is small and there are few people.

Few people make management easier.

"What are they doing?" Claude looked at the small square in front of him and couldn't help but wonder.

Hundreds of people gathered together and formed two lines.

"I didn't expect Grant to work so fast," Li Qi secretly thought. As soon as he gave the order, Grant started working very efficiently.

Then he said: "The red brick houses have been built for relocation. The residents can spend some money and move in."

"Are they the beautiful houses we saw when we came here?" Denis was really surprised. He didn't expect that the lord spent money to build the houses, but they were actually for ordinary civilians in the territory to live in.

Li Qi nodded: "Of course."

"You are really a kind and benevolent lord," Denis said sincerely.

Claude, who was not willing to let Denis steal the limelight, immediately said: "Look at them lining up and moving forward in an orderly manner, instead of being in a chaotic mess."

"You will definitely not see residents who are more orderly and law-abiding than the residents of Porcupine Territory anywhere else," Li Qi said with a smile.

Although he was a little surprised by the crowd gathering in the small square, the crowds of people clapped and lined up, which still allowed Li Qi to gain a lot of face in front of the two out-of-town businessmen.

No one likes a messy territory, and everyone likes to make deals with people who maintain order.

This helps establish the image of a porcupine collar.

When he was in a good mood, Li Qi praised him a few more times.

……

The little gazelle stood in the crowd, looking forward on tiptoes.

Her business in the vegetable market has become more and more prosperous recently. Not only has she paid back the money she owed, but she has also made a lot of money.

After hearing that the beautiful red brick house was for sale, she rushed there immediately.

But the security team members held up wooden sticks and stopped them, and everyone had to line up.

If you live in the Porcupine Territory for a long time, you will find that similar requests often appear, and people have also discovered that fair queuing will make everything more efficient.

There are two teams in total. The specific steps are not clear yet, but you won’t suffer any loss if you go in and take a look. The autumn noon sun is blazing on your face, burning your skin and hurting, but people are standing in line in the small square, just anxious. Look forward.

No one knows what's going on ahead.

The little gazelle had good luck. The team she was in was faster than the other team. This was probably because most of the people were young people and had better understanding.

Thinking that he would probably buy his first house soon and have a home of his own, the little gazelle's heart was beating wildly.

Suddenly, two people crossed in front of the little gazelle.

"What are you doing?" The little gazelle looked at the two people who suddenly jumped in line.

One old and one young, the old one has gray hair and the young one has a bloated body.

People behind also asked: "Why did you jump in line?"

"Someone jumped in line!"

One person jumped in line at the front, and everyone had to move back for no reason. What if it was because of this move that he missed the qualification to live in a new house?

"I moved here from over there!" The young man said, "Look, we were in the same position over there, and we are in the same position here."

"But you are cutting in line." The little gazelle was furious.

The noise here immediately attracted the attention of the security team.

"what happened?"

The security forces armed with sticks are still very intimidating.

"They cut in line and suddenly squeezed in front of me." The little gazelle used to be kind, but today is different. Her dream is right in front of her and she lives a decent life. Why should she have to give in when someone arbitrarily robs her of her benefits?

"It's not about jumping in line." The young man said what he just said again, and said to the members of the security team: "Our previous position was also a little bit forward. After we left, the people in that line will move forward." Yes? Then when we come to this queue, how can we be considered as jumping in line? We just moved here!"

She must know some apprentice at the city hall who is very fastidious in speaking.

"But I moved two places back." The little gazelle felt aggrieved.

The member of the security team didn't know what to do. His task was to maintain law and order, not to maintain fairness.

The old man who had been silent for a long time suddenly turned his head with an expression like a vicious dog: "You are not a native of Porcupine Territory, but a slave, are you? We are from Wheat Field Village. Even if we join your team, what can you do? The lord said, If we want to demolish it, we must first choose a house.”

Hearing that the little gazelle was still a slave, the security team member's attitude changed slightly. They did not deny that he was afraid of the two arrogant people. They obviously caught the security team member's pain points and knew that he wanted to turn big things into trivial matters. melted.

"That's it." The members of the security team looked at the little gazelle, intending to forcefully put an end to the queue-jumping incident.

"I am a commoner in the Porcupine Territory, not a slave!" The little gazelle gasped and couldn't help but raise his voice.

But suddenly he found that the noisy scene had become quiet.

She saw the security team member turn his head and followed his gaze to look behind him.

Baron Li Qi was riding a horse and stopped not far away, accompanied by a fat man and a thin man who seemed to be of high status.

At this time, the lord's expression was very calm, and there was no hint of emotion or anger.

But anyone who is not blind can detect that something is wrong in the atmosphere.

I had just praised the future of Porcupine Territory with two businessmen, where I could live and work in peace and contentment, and everyone would abide by the law, and then someone slapped me in the face?

"Sir," Claude said with a smile, "I am really looking forward to the delicious ice cream. You don't know, I have been dreaming about that delicious ice cream for a long time after leaving the porcupine collar."

Denis on the side also nodded repeatedly: "I am extremely curious after hearing this guy Claude praise him."

They all wanted to change the subject quickly. The more they fell into this atmosphere, the more embarrassing their situation as outsiders became.

"Don't worry, you two." Li Qi said with a smile: "The ice cream is already ready. Please come with me."

The two men breathed a sigh of relief.

But before leaving, Li Qi looked at the members of the security team: "Go to the city hall later, no, come to me directly."

The members of the security team were excited and quickly replied: "Yes!"

He knew that he must be in trouble, and it was these three people who brought him trouble.

Especially the little gazelle, isn't it just jumping in line? They are still from Wheatfield Village. You, a person who has just got rid of your slave status, just pretend to be mute. What does it matter if you are one in front and one behind?

Now that the Lord knows about the matter, he will definitely be punished.
