Compared with the noble landlords who were still addicted to land annexation and financial lending, Sebastian's progress was indeed fast enough.

"It's not me, it's the Mianwei family." Sebastian sighed: "Our territory is closer to Miyin City, and the Mianwei family has a marriage relationship with us."

The Laurent family was originally the younger brother of the Mianwei family.

Now the Mianwei family has established a textile industry, lacking raw materials and requiring high-quality and reliable suppliers.

Then the "affiliated families" such as the Laurent family naturally had to respond to the elder brother's call and "change wheat into sheep and rice into mulberry".

This business is profitable with the naked eye and is guaranteed by the long-term needs of the Guardian family, so Sir Sebastian boldly followed suit.

"Then isn't this a good thing?" Fiona asked in a subtle tone again: "After the manor was converted into a ranch, the income was higher, and everyone's life was better. Why do the tenants still make trouble?"

"This" Sebastian's expression was weird.

Why? Of course it's because

His income is high, what does it have to do with his family's tenant farmers?

Even because he changed his career and started animal husbandry, the lives of those tenants would be even more miserable.

Because of the same land, the livestock industry requires less staff.

The tenant farmers who were originally farmed for the Laurent family may have 1,000 households. Now, only 100 households are needed to take care of the sheep for the manor.

Then where should the remaining 900 households go? Of course

Go as far as you go, go wherever you love.

"You drove the tenants out?" Fiona's tone seemed to be no longer asking, but questioning.

"Yes!" Sebastian disliked his daughter's attitude: "So what?"

Fiona's eyes were as if he had done something wrong.

But what did he do wrong?

"Those lands are not those of the mud-legged ones, but our Laurent family. I rent them out if I want to rent them out, and I take them back if I want to take them back. Is there any problem?"

Yes, legally speaking, Sebastian did nothing wrong.

Because this land was the legal territory earned by his ancestors for military merits, and it was the private property of the Laurent family.

The ownership of the land was originally his. It was just that he was unable to cultivate such a vast land, so he rented it to the tenant farmers for use.

"But they have lived here for hundreds of years," Fiona said. "This is their home."

"No!" Sir Sebastian retorted: "This is our home. No matter how long they have cultivated here, they are just our tenants."

"Does the landlord still follow the tenant's advice if he wants to take back the house?"

"But where can they go after they leave the land?" Fiona asked again.

"Where to go?" What does it have to do with me?

Sir Sebastian thought so, but due to the noble's dignity, he could not say so directly in front of his daughter.

"They can go into the city," he said.

Indeed, these tenants were not serfs, they were all legal free people.

Although due to the invisible personal dependence of the land, they were unable to leave the countryside in the past and could not get rid of the lord's tenement.

The lords will also use various private decrees to prevent them from leaving, so as to avoid excessive loss of labor in the territory.

And now, although they have nothing, they are truly free.

"Miyin City is now building a large factory and needs a lot of workers. Isn't they enough to go to the city to make a living?" Sebastian felt that he was worthy of the tenant farmers.

Drive them away, but they don’t have nowhere to go.

Life in Miyin City is so good. He is still helping these tenant farmers seek progress.

"But can Miyin City really accept so much manpower?" Fiona said, "but she told the fact that her father didn't want to mention.

Factory is not bacteria, it can grow out of thin air with some nutrition.

Can the Mianwei family build factories really catch up with the speed of landless tenants entering the city?

What should so many tenant farmers do if they lose their land in their hometown and cannot find jobs in the city?

"Noxus has taught us a lesson, dad."

Where do Immortal Fortresses come from?

Where did the refugee camps and orphan troops in the Imperial Army continuously replenish manpower?

Where did so many exiles sent to colonies in various places every year by Noxus?

This is the side effect of the barbaric development of seed benzene.

Factory cannot perfectly accommodate a large number of landless farmers entering the city. These "ultrasound population" will also be "optimized" and eliminated in various cruel ways.

At least Noxus still has colonies that can be used as pressure relief valves, and years of war can divert conflicts.

If a Noxus refugee is lucky, he might be able to go to the colony to become a superior person.

Where is Demacia? What should the landless farmers in Demacia do?

"You are forcing them to die, father." Fiona said in a serious tone.

"You?!" Sebastian choked hard.

"Yes! But so what?" He finally said impatiently: "Those tenants are just our tenants. I kindly hired them to farm so that they could have a bite of food in the past."

"Now they themselves are not able to find food elsewhere, do I have to continue to support them?"

"Of course!" Fiona actually glared back in a tit-for-tat way.

She asked, "Father, if I'm right, the Mianwei family should have put forward additional conditions to you when they asked you to cooperate in the ranch, right?"

"This" Sebastian was slightly stunned: "How do you know?"

Yes. Compared to him, the Mianwei family is the real great charity.

Lux has long considered the issue of refugees caused by "changing wheat into sheep".

So she specially agreed with the partners such as the Laurent family, requiring them to retain a small piece of land for the tenants and their homestead in the countryside after they converted the manor into a ranch.

In this way, the tenants who went to the city to work had at least a root in the countryside and had a way out.

If they can't find a job in the city, they can still go back to the countryside to live. Even if they can't make a lot of money with that piece of land, they can at least ensure that they won't starve to death.

This is a good thing for the tenant farmers.

Compared with the original Noxus seed benzene germination, it can also give people a way out.

But in the eyes of a lord like Sebastian

"This is simply nonsense!" Sebastian felt that the Mianwei family's request was incredible: "That place belongs to our family, why should I keep the land for those mud legs?"

This is not called retaining a share of land. It is simply robbing the rich and helping the poor, and distributing land to tenants in disguise!

He is not the leader, so why should he do this good thing?

"But by co-organizing a ranch with the Mianwei family, you can already make a lot of money." Fiona advised: "Why are you still unwilling to leave a way out for those tenant farmers?"

"Fiona, how could you think so?" Sebastian felt that his daughter was indeed deeply poisoned.

"This is not a matter of money! This is the truth, it is the law! Private property is sacred and inviolable. Why should we distribute it to those tenants?"

"Just because they are weak and pitiful, can they get something for nothing?"

"What does it have to do with me if they don't have the ability?"

Sebastian was very resistant to this.

He felt that this outrageous request was entirely due to the childishness and innocence of that girl Lux.

So he agreed to the conditions of the Mianwei family on the surface, but secretly instructed the housekeeper to force the expulsion of the tenant farmers.

He has not reserved any piece of land or homestead for those poor people.

Anyway, the Mianwei family is arrogant, so I guess they won't really care about the fate of those tenants.

"So, the tenants resisted. Right?" Fiona asked suddenly.

"This" Sebastian's mood calmed down in an instant: "Yes."

This is actually an incredible thing.

Because of the absolute force gap between people in the extraordinary world, the tenants will never be able to resist the lord unless they are forced to lose their hearts.

"And, the butler can't handle it, so you have to come back and deal with it in person?"

"Yes!" Sebastian was touched by his daughter again.

The tenant farmers in his family not only resisted, but also magically scared his housekeeper and thugs, so they didn't dare to act, so they could only ask him to take action himself.

How did this be done?

"How did a group of tenants defeat Laurent's swordsmen?" Fiona asked subtly.

"I'm not those damn leaders!" Sebasti was very angry.
