las looked towards alfread with a smile and he spoke " alfread how many farmers are in our territory right now ?"
alfread smiled back he looked at his papers "my lord there are around 11.000 farmers in our land but most of them are under landowners and they are renting the land from them " las lost his smile [so most of the farmers are abused by the land owners they will probably became slaves if they stay under them ]
oliver spoke "my lord if we give land to this farmers the landowners will rebel there are 5 major landowners and they are the ones with the responsibility to tax the commoners and judge them if they go against us we can't do those things " las gave him a dark smile "oliver why do you thing i teach the woman from the village how to read and write , im going to centralize the power in this house i want to take the power from them , they won't rebel right now after the defeat of the bandits they will probably just sent an angry letter if they dare to contact another lord im going to cut their heads off "
las had still his smile " right now we have 54.000 and in 3 days we will have another 60.000coins so we will give land to them and 2 coins to every farmer this will be 22.000 coins its a lot but its a good investment we are going to war so with this we can get some war support from the people " no one spoke , las looked at oliver again "oliver we will let the landowners do the tax but we will make a law to stop them from taking as much as they want if they break it im going after them "
las looked at leonard and william and he gave him some papers "this is the new training method most things are the same but there are some different things " the two knights looked at the papers leonard was surprised "my lord are you going to teach the normal soldiers how to read and write ?"
"yes it will be useful for the future , now go william start training with muskets alfread go to make the arrangements for the land reform oliver go and build another factory "las gave another paper it had 5 different factories [ i will make two of them book factories and and the others will became porcelain ]
oliver looked at the paper all the factories were at the same place "as you command i will handle it " las looked at the old samuel he understood and gave a nod he had to protect them from spies
las looked at the ceiling and spoke "are there any other events like wars ? " samuel had this responsibility he spoke " yes my lord the 1 princess won a great victory against the barbarian and with this victory she was able to drag duke cornvert at her side after all he is the duke who have been fighting in the north for generations , so now the most powerful family in the north west has joined the battle for succession "

las gave a nod "we are too weak to join or have any major role " at this comment neither oliver nor william spoke las was taken aback
"samuel if i remember in our south there is a viscount in our west there are 2 barons the baron who is in our south west took land from us but the other baron did not why is that is he weak or does he have any other problem??"
samuel looked at his paper then he found one he looked at it for a minute and he spoke "my lord this baron has problems with all his neighbors in west and south in his west there is a marques who tries to find l a way to annex his land if he moved he would be attacked from all sides so he can't make us enemies nor can he give a reason for an attack like giving back the land" [ in other words he can be a friend i must keep that in mind ]
"what is his name ??"
"lasbourg my lord"
"good you can all go to your work " everyone left las looked at his hands they hade white gloves [ what are those memories .........they are from different people i can tell its not from only one but my ideal like slavery are changing they were normal in the past but now its different and this body of mine i can't hold a sword i can't do anything if i had a good body like my brothers no one would have looked down on me ,my mother would not had stab me in the back my father would have cared about me he would have looked at me like he did with my sisters and brothers we would have cared like he did with the others he he he he ] las shed a tear and he spoke in a soft tone "he would have loved me like he did with the others "
the old butler saw the tear and he spoke in a loving tone "its fine i would do what the other didn't for you my young master " las heard him arthur open his hands like a father las was a child after all he gave a hag and he started to cry " why arthur why can't i be like my brothers why did my father never looked at me why they abandoned me why its this useless baby of mine isn't it why "
arthus didn't say much he just gave a hug , after 2 moths of silence las broke with the mentality of a teenager he was 16 years old and the memories of a modern man las broke arthur who was a father and a mother gave him a hug
"its fine its not your fault " he didn't say anything else
