Chapter 681 - 423 Enactment of Laws_2

Chapter 681: Chapter 423 Enactment of Laws_2The ones attending this meeting were those he trusted most: Atbolde, Lillian, and Shelley.

"Such a decree can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause," Atbolde shook his head and said.

"That’s why it is only a temporary measure," Colin answered, pausing before continuing, "My ultimate goal is to gradually take over these serfs."

Atbolde raised his eyebrows.

Lillian looked puzzled and asked subconsciously,

"Do you intend to support these serfs yourself, junior brother?"

Colin nodded slightly, "Population is the most important resource."

"It sounds like you have some kind of plan," Atbolde said.

While the population is important, in this world, most people do not consider ordinary individuals to be such a significant resource.

Wizards are the truly valuable resources, ordinary people are but grains of sand born alongside gold, and no one cares about them.

Colin nodded again and glanced at Shelley before speaking,

"The Tilaimei Plain cannot lose those serfs, and Shelley and I are tackling the difficult issue of farm pollution. If the farmland is restored, but there are not enough serfs to cultivate it, that would be a disaster all the same."

"Do you have confidence in solving the pollution of the farmland?" Atbolde was taken aback for a moment.

After following Colin here, he had carefully learned about the Tilaimei Plain, especially in terms of farm pollution.

It was a unique form of pollution that even the wizards sent by the Supreme Council specifically to address the issue had declared insolvable.

"The confidence isn’t strong, but there’s hope," Colin answered, "And even if we can’t ultimately restore those farmlands, I still have ways to settle those serfs and even keep the Tilaimei Plain thriving."

Colin said calmly.

The content of his words, however, could be described as presumptuous.

But whether he was certain or not, as the Lord of Tilamei, he had to at least be confident.

If even he had no confidence, then who else could? The Tilaimei Plain would inevitably decline.

However, to tell the truth, Colin did indeed have ample confidence to save the entire Tilaimei Plain.

Even if the farmland’s pollution could not be solved in the end, he could certainly use those serfs, relying on his experiences from his previous life, to attempt to advance the process of industrialization.

Although many rules of this world are different from those in his previous life, such as electricity, which is always brutal and chaotic, difficult to tame and use,

At least in this world, it is still possible to boil water, and steam power is obviously feasible.

The existence of witchcraft causes this world to subconsciously overlook the great power contained within humble steam.

People are keen on pursuing the ultimate personal power, expecting to resolve all problems with it, while neglecting the power of the masses.

Especially with the external threat of Divine beings, wizards usually focus their re

After finalizing some details and producing the first draft of the legislation, Colin immediately sent it for review to the Supreme Council through his Councilman Badge.

The first ordinance restricting nobles from evicting serfs was affirmed by the Council in just a moment.

Colin also implemented it across the entire Tilaimei Plain without delay.

The ordinance stipulated that nobles were limited in the number of serfs they could drive away per year, including those who died accidentally, based on the proportion of serfs they owned, with the maximum not exceeding ten persons; otherwise, it would be a violation of the law, with punishment up to the death penalty.

The new tax ordnance, however, did not pass the review as quickly.

Colin included it under the Public Safety Tax, with the rationale that it was to deal with the chaos and threats that the wandering serfs might bring; all tax revenue would be used on the settlement of the serfs.

During the waiting period for review, Colin was not idle; through Chasai Commerce, he had the Communication Ring Towers of the seven kingdoms repaired and even added a few more in some key cities.

This was the key to connecting the entire Tilaimei Plain; he couldn’t always rely on flying there with Silver Stream.

During this period, the first enacted ordinance also gradually began to show its impact.
