Chapter 582: Aftermath of the Rebellion 3

Stanford stepped onto the ground of Fulan Port through the gangplank.

Ah, he returned to his home safely again. He turned to look at the ship, and a group of people on the ship were also excitedly holding the side of the ship and looking towards Fulan Port City.

He waved to the ship, "Brothers, we are home!"

"Oh!" "Long live!" A cheer broke out from the ship.

With the support of Lord Paul Graman, Stanford led his old subordinates and newly added team members, carrying sufficient food and fresh water to sail north again. This time the fleet size doubled compared to the last time, with a full six three-masted sailing ships.

In addition to the necessary supplies, they also carried a large amount of goods for trading with the indigenous tribes along the way. Whether they could make a profit was secondary, and the main purpose was to cultivate friendship with the locals.

They visited the Stag Tribe in the Far North again, and were surprised to find that the first group of exploration team members who stayed here to recuperate when they arrived last time were still living in good health.

When they arrived at the Buck Tribe, winter had not yet ended, and Stanford's fleet had a large amount of supplies for wintering. The natives of the Buck Tribe welcomed them with joy. Honeycomb coal, stoves, cotton clothes, and canned food were very popular among the locals.

After exploring the surroundings, Stanford returned with the first group of exploration team members who had been away from home for a long time. Of course, a group of team members still stayed to learn and study the language and customs of the local natives.

The exploration team returned to Fulan Port with precious medicinal materials and animal furs. After arranging people to guard the ship, Stanford announced a vacation. Most of them hurried home, especially those members of the first group of exploration team who did not return last time. A few people also went to the city to spend money.

And Stanford set off to the Lake Heart Town to report this trip. He had some important things to tell Earl Graman in person.

"Hey, isn't this our Captain Stanford?"

Stanford, who was riding a horse, met his old friend Gretel on the way. Gretel was a businessman who spent many years at sea. When Stanford was still a merchant ship captain, he had cooperated with him many times.

"Gretel, I didn't expect to meet you here."

"This must be the guidance of the Lord of Light. Didn't you go to the north to explore again? Are you back?"

"Yes, I just came back, and you?"

"Go to Lake Heart Town to discuss business. Tell me about your adventure quickly!"

The two traveled together and chatted happily all the way. When Gretel, as a businessman, heard Stanford say that there were countless precious products in the wild land north of the Rocky Mountains, and that the exploration team returned with a full load of medicinal materials and furs, his eyes lit up.

"Stanford, my good man, let me know when you leave next time. I must get a big ship and follow you to make a fortune."

"Haha, if our lord allows it. Oh, by the way...Grit, I want to ask you something."

"Are there any pirates making trouble recently?"

Grit was very confused, and he touched his head and said, "No, why do you ask? Pirates have been extinct for several years."

Stanford said puzzledly, "I just met a team of prisoners being escorted. It was really a team. The team lined up for a long distance. If it was not a large-scale gang crime, how could such a scene appear?"

"Oh, you mean that!" Gret touched his nose and guessed 80% of it, "It's probably the rebels from the villages in the north. It seems that the new labor camp has been built, so let's move them there."

"Rebel...rebel...rebel?" Stanford was shocked by Gret's words.

Grete glanced at him, "Why? Don't you know yet?"

"I left Port Fulan not long after I got off the ship."

"Then let me tell you, a rebellion against Earl Graman broke out in Arda not long ago. Several villages in the north, led by Babol, lured Lord Graman to them under the pretext of inviting the lord to hunt, and then almost... In short, the situation was very dangerous, and even the Lake Town had a rebellion that echoed it. Fortunately, the rebellion was eventually quelled."

Stanford asked worriedly: "Is Lord Graman okay?"

Grete waved his hand and replied: "Our lord must be blessed by the gods, and nothing happened. Of course, although he was fine at the time, he was definitely furious afterwards. I tell you..." He looked around to see that there was no one around, and then continued in a low voice: "Although the Earl has a reputation for kindness, he is really ruthless when dealing with traitors. Oh my, that scene, the villages suspected of rebellion, especially the village of Babol, were almost arrested by the entire village. "

"Not only that, because the people who participated in the rebellion this time were all gentry and landlords, in short, those big families that have been entrenched in the countryside for generations, Lord Graman also hated those landlords who did not participate in the rebellion. The Earl deprived all of them of their status and power as tax contractors, and also enacted laws to prohibit them from setting private punishments - you know this kind of thing was very common in the countryside in the past. "

"And they also sent people to check the debts in the countryside one by one, and burned them if they felt unreasonable. I remember that I was a guest at a friend's house in the countryside. My friend's house also had a lot of land, and he usually put it on fire. Diandai. At that time, someone from the town came to check the accounts, uh... he had a lot of interest on the accounts. It was relatively high, and then she was burned in a fire. My friend's wife cried and made a fuss in front of the lord's men, rolling around in the yard, and throwing herself into the fire, but what's the use? ?Finally, my friend pulled his wife out of the fire, gave her two slaps, and took her into the house."

"This... isn't the lord afraid of stirring up another rebellion?"

"Rebellion? Oh my god, who dares!" Greet opened his mouth wide, "You don't know, during that time, all the demobilized soldiers were recalled to the army, Alda, Bairdin, Em Everyone is on high alert. Who would offend an angry and suspicious lion at this time?"

After understanding the general story of the incident, Stanford shook his head, "I didn't expect the impact to be so big."

"Hehe, I'm actually quite happy to see this situation, and my friends who run factories...ah, I'm not talking about the rebellion itself, but the measures taken by the lord afterwards."

"How to say?"

"Because under the lord's order, the landowners could no longer confine the mud-legged people in the countryside, and many people from the countryside began to work in the cities."
