Rome Must Fall

The cheers lasted for a while before gradually weakening, and Maximus continued to shout: "Do you still remember? When we first started the uprising and I first became the captain of the baggage train, I promised you, One day you will have your own home and your own land, has it happened now?”

“It’s happening!!!”

"Thank you chief!!!"

“Chief, the promises you make are always fulfilled!!!”

…

The tribesmen rushed to shout.

"Of course I have to thank yourselves too! It's your unyielding fighting and uncomplaining efforts over the past two years that have won everything today!"

Maximus' words made the people straighten their chests.

"Of course, I would like to thank those comrades who also made contributions, but unfortunately died on the way and were unable to enjoy everything today! Let us silently pray for their brave and kind souls to successfully reach the Elysee Paradise! "

At this moment, the gathering of tens of thousands of people suddenly fell silent. Everyone raised their hands to the sky and bowed their heads solemnly in blessing. Some people had tears in their eyes...

After a while, Maximus's voice broke the silence: "We would also like to thank the agricultural staff headed by Agricultural Officer Volenus and the engineering team headed by Gaius, as well as our Ethical and Education Department. It was through their unremitting efforts during this period that these lovely teenagers were able to survey all of our tribe’s territory in less than a month and divide the land that everyone deserves. ...Everyone, this is not easy, so we would like to thank them with warm applause for everything they have done for us!”

The applause sounded like thunder.

"Did you hear that? The leader praised us! This is a round of applause for us!" Mainas said excitedly.

Many young people also held their heads high and looked proud.

Akguo was a little disapproving: "This applause is mainly for the Ministry of Agriculture and the engineering team. We are just helping. When it comes time for us to take the lead, that is when we should be happiest."

"Brother Akago, we still have several years to reach adulthood. The leader once said that our main task now is to study hard, and then help the tribe to do something and accumulate some experience... If we want to obtain a position in the tribe, Being able to do things independently is not possible in a short period of time,” Mainas reminded.

"Who knows." Akago replied, looking expectantly at Maximus standing on the wooden platform again.

“…and the land divided by the Ministry of Agriculture has passed the inspection of the political hall. If any of the tribesmen who obtained the land feel that the number of acres is wrong, they can apply to the Ministry of Agriculture for review. If this is indeed the case, the tribe will make up for the shortfall. , if not, then the tribe will impose a small fine on you because you have consumed the Department of Agriculture’s valuable office time, so please treat it with caution!”

Maximus earnestly reminded: "This time, all the land allocated to everyone is good land. Although some land is closer to the river and some is further away, I hope everyone will not compare with each other and complain, because it will not be long before the public works The Ministry will repair water trucks and organize everyone to repair canals. The river water will automatically flow to the fields for irrigation, and there is no need for everyone to go to the river to fetch water...

After obtaining land, whether you know how to farm or not, I suggest you first go to the Ministry of Agriculture to study. The Ministry of Agriculture will conduct special farming demonstrations for you and teach you some new methods to help increase farmland income.

You should treat your own land as seriously and carefully as you raise your own children. Only in this way will the field give you corresponding rewards and let you gain the joy of a bumper harvest! Finally, don’t forget to pay your taxes on time! "

When Maximus said this, he took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "I declare that the division of the Nyx tribe will begin now!"

The people burst into cheers again...

"Pecott, the only first-class tribesman in our tribe, please come to the stage!"

Pecot, who had been notified in advance and was sitting not far from the wooden platform, heard Maximus shouting and stood up calmly.

As they walked towards the wooden platform, the soldiers that Pecott once commanded, as well as the Skodisci reserve people who had followed him and escaped from the Broch territory, began to cheer non-stop.

Maximus gave him a strong hug, and then used the simple microphone to speak loudly to the crowd: "Pekot was allocated land No. 1 of the tribe, with a total of 80 acres, located east of Snodia. Doorway, next to the road.”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a commotion in the crowd, because everyone can see the piece of land that Maximus mentioned every day. The land is good land, and the key is that it is very close. You can farm the land just by raising your feet outside the village. How much money can be saved. Time... everyone is envious of it.

Maxim smiled and handed Pecot a palm-sized wooden sign, on which was engraved the number, number of acres, location and the name of the owner of the allocated land.

"Right now, our tribe is in short supply of papyrus, so we can't give you a detailed paper land deed. This is a temporary land certificate. We will reissue a real land deed to you within a year!"

The reason why Maximus spoke so confidently was that Capito had already begun arranging for the craftsmen to build a word-making workshop. He believed that as long as they followed the set of papermaking processes he mentioned, what would happen within a year? It can also make a qualified piece of paper.

Pecot took the fluttering wooden sign, and his calm heart suddenly became turbulent.

Maximus opened a thick paper book strung with a string on the wooden table and said: "You still need to sign your name here. Are you going to inspect the land first and then come back and sign? Or sign it now?”

Pecot glanced down, and then said awkwardly: "I can't read."

Maximus didn't care and read the contents of the roster. In fact, it was the same as the words on the wooden sign, except for the addition of Maximus's own signature. Then he said: "It doesn't matter if you can't read. You can stamp it." My own handprint."

Without hesitation, Pecot dipped his right thumb into the ink next to him and printed on it.

The agricultural staff member standing at the corner of the wooden platform came over and said, "Pecott, please come with me to inspect your fields."

"Okay." Pecot took two steps, suddenly remembered something, turned around and said: "Thank you, chief!"

Maximus smiled and responded: "You deserve it."

The land assigned to Pecot was not far from the venue. After walking there, the agriculture department member pointed to a wooden sign with "1" engraved on it beside the field and said, "This is land No. 1. The land surrounded by wooden sticks here belongs to you. There are still broad beans planted in your field. After they are harvested in three to five days, you can do whatever you want with your land... "

Pecot looked at the land in front of him with many wooden sticks inserted around it. The distance between the wooden poles on the left and right sides was more than a hundred meters, and the wooden pole in front was far away, and it was a bit blurry in his field of vision. …

What a big piece of land this is! Now it belongs to me! ...The more Pecot watched, the more excited he became. Although he lived in the mountains when he was young, and later worked hard at sea, and had never farmed, the desire for land is human nature.

He crossed the wooden sign and stepped onto the soft field, feeling more at ease both physically and mentally.

At this time, two craftsmen carried a piece of rock that was not too big. One side of the rock was polished smooth, and the number "1" and Pecott's name were engraved on it. This had been done in advance.

The craftsman replaced the wooden sign with the carved rock and drove half of the rock into the ground to reveal the side with the writing.

"Congratulations, Pecot! Now this land belongs to you!" said the agriculture minister: "When the tribal land allocation is completed, you can replace the wooden poles around your land with wooden fences. Of course you can You can also plant badger wood or trees instead, which will be more beautiful.

However, I suggest you wait until the tribe has repaired all the canals before doing these things, as it will be more convenient. besides--"

The subordinate's expression became serious: "Those wooden poles mark the boundaries of your land. Do not move the boundaries of your land outward. Once discovered, the punishment given by the tribe will be quite severe and they will deprive you of your land." part of the land.”

"How could I do such a despicable thing!" Pecot was a little unhappy.

"Please forgive me. Chief Volenus asked us to say this to every tribesman who is assigned land. It is not specifically aimed at you." The staff member quickly explained.

"So that's it." Pecot no longer dwelled on the matter and asked instead: "With such a large piece of land, it would be difficult for my wife and I to cultivate it well (as the only one in the tribe) Pecot's heroic deeds are well known among other tribesmen, so he was favored by women on the day of the blind date meeting. Therefore, he chose a Skodist woman he was satisfied with and got married). I heard that you can ask the reserve tribesmen to help farm the land, and you just need to share some of the harvest with them..."

"Our Ministry of Agriculture has indeed made such a suggestion, and it was approved at the political hall meeting. If you apply to the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Agriculture will arrange for tribal people to help you farm, and you will hand over the income during the autumn harvest. Just give 20% to 30% to the Ministry of Property. This part of the payment does not include the land tax you have to pay to the tribe. "

The agriculture department member explained patiently: "There is another way. The leader has reached an agreement with some Aldi tribes. You can hire their tribesmen to help you farm the land. You can negotiate the salary yourself, but it is estimated that The salary cannot be lower than that of the reserve tribesmen. The only difference is that they are completely under your command, unlike the reserve tribesmen who have to be arranged by our Ministry of Agriculture..."
