[Quick Wear] Daily Cleansing of Trash

Chapter 440: Fighting Village Wars, I am a Professional 9

Under Celtic law, each vassal state could compile its own laws.

Based on this law, Nancy formulated relevant laws in many aspects such as administration, economy, culture and education, criminal law, and marriage.

In response to the nobles' question of who would do the household chores without slaves, Nancy said they could hire people.

"Just like you hired civilians in the past, you can also choose to hire them!" said Nancy.

Hiring costs money, but slaves are free.

The nobles expressed their dissatisfaction with the fact that free things had become charged.

Leopold was actually a little unhappy, after all, the palace also needed a lot of slaves.

He tried to persuade Nancy: "Child, there is no need for us to do these things. Slaves are animals. Even if you treat them well, they will not be grateful."

Nancy sighed and said helplessly, "Father, what is the most important thing for a country?"

Leopold hesitated. "Is it...is it the population?"

"That's right, it's population!" Nancy nodded.

Therefore, the first decree issued by Prime Minister Dana after taking over the Kingdom of Cornman was to capture all unmarried civilian women and bring them back to Ampura to give birth to children.

"However, if a country wants to be strong, it can't just focus on population size; it also needs to consider quality," Nancy asked. "Father, which do you think is more useful to the country: the children of slaves or the children of commoners?"

Leopold said firmly: "Of course it's a commoner's child!"

Nancy continued to ask, "Why?"

"Children of common people have the right to an education, but children of slaves do not," Leopold replied.

Slaves were property and had no right to an education.

In addition, if a slave wanted to get married, he had to exchange fifteen years of labor for marriage permission, and slaves could only marry slaves.

Of course, slaves can also choose to cooperate without mediation.

However, the children born to slaves who did not obtain marriage permission would be considered the devil's fruit. Unless the slave owner showed mercy and was willing to grant them marriage permission, the children would be killed at birth and would have no guarantee of survival.

Nancy said seriously, "If slavery is not abolished, even if slaves are given the right to marry, their children will still be slaves. If these slave children receive an education, what's the difference between them and civilians? Why don't we just abolish this system?"

Nancy continued, "Father, we want people who can create value for Ampura, not animals who know nothing!"

Leopold was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "Okay, Nancy, I think you are right!"

The king had no objection, but the nobles were unable to dissuade Nancy from her idea, so they turned around and attacked Scarna.

"Your Highness, Princess Nancy's current behavior has already crossed the line!"

"Yes, Your Highness, you are the crown prince of Ampura. Princess Nancy clearly doesn't take you seriously!"

"Your Highness, we are on your side. You cannot be fooled by Princess Nancy!"

Scarina said nothing, but walked out of the room silently and ordered the knight Karen who was guarding the door: "Karen, tie up those people inside!"

Then, Nancy, who was digging potatoes in the field, met Scarlett who came to look for her with some people.

Nancy had sent someone to other places to look for seeds, but the person hadn't returned yet, but a traveling merchant had come to Ampura.

The other party took the sprouted potatoes and wanted to exchange them for a black bean cake from the farmer.

That farmer happened to be Baker.

Ever since the last incident, Baker has been very respectful to Nancy.

He knew that Nancy had been looking for various seeds and plants, and he happened to have never seen potatoes. So after giving the black bean cakes to the parading merchant, Baker took the potatoes to find Nancy.

Nancy was overjoyed to see the potatoes and quickly went to the traveling merchant, wanting to buy all the potatoes he had.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the parading merchant got Baker's black bean cake, he ran away in a hurry.

The wandering merchant was called Hans. As the youngest son in the family, he was kicked out of the house by his elder brothers when he grew up, and he has been wandering outside ever since.

He discovered this potato in another country. After tasting it, he found it delicious. So he took out all his savings and bought a big bag of it, intending to carry it to other places to resell.

Unexpectedly, the potatoes sprouted.

Hans didn't know that sprouted potatoes were inedible, so he sold the sprouted potatoes to an old man and ended up poisoning him to death.

Hans was frightened and dropped the potato and ran away.

After that, he kept wandering outside and didn't dare to go home.

This time, he happened to come to the country of Ampura. Because he was so hungry, he went against his conscience and exchanged the only two sprouted potatoes left in his pocket for black bean cakes.

When Hans saw Nancy chasing him on horseback, he thought the farmer had been poisoned and climbed up the mountain in fear.

Nancy swung out her whip and rolled him back: "Why are you running?"

Hans knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Mercy! Mercy!"

After figuring out what happened, Nancy was speechless and whipped Hans a few times: "You clearly know that this thing is poisonous, and you still dare to use it to harm others?"

Hans burst into tears: "I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again!"

Baker, who came along, was terrified and sweat broke out on his head.

However, this made Baker admire Nancy even more.

If he hadn't thought of giving the potatoes to Nancy, he would most likely be dead now.

It was Nancy who saved him!

Nancy didn't know what Baker was thinking. She took Hans back and used all kinds of threats and inducements to finally persuade Hans to take Font and others to that country to buy potatoes.

With someone watching, Hans didn't dare to do anything small. Two large bags of potatoes were brought back successfully, and Nancy immediately led people to start planting.

Nancy had been counting the days and felt that it was almost time, so she took people to the field to dig potatoes today.

When Scarlett came over, Nancy was digging in the ground with a hoe, smiling so hard that her teeth were showing.

"Scarlett," Nancy said happily, "what a great harvest!"

Scarina smiled helplessly and carefully wiped the dirt off Nancy's pants with a wet cloth: "Nancy, don't work too hard!"

She looked at the dirt-covered lump in Nancy's hand curiously: "What is this?"

Nancy smiled brightly, "This is something good to feed everyone!"

"Is everyone fed?"

Scarna's eyes widened instantly, and she turned her gaze to the unattractive potato in disbelief.

Nancy asked the others to continue digging potatoes, and she dusted off the dirt on her body and asked Scarlett: "Why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

Nancy's question brought Scarlett's attention back.

She nodded, her face serious: "Nancy, I suspect there is a spy in our Ampura!"
