Chapter 1243: Chapter 746: The Lord’s Response Plan_1 Chapter 1243: Chapter 746: The Lord’s Response Plan_1 “Lord, is there really a perfect solution?”

Upon hearing Leo Ray’s calm voice, Ariel Watson’s clear, starry eyes lit up as she hurriedly asked.

“Yes, your thoughts were correct, but you neglected a crucial issue.”

Leo Ray waved his hand, signaling Ariel not to worry, then smiled faintly, “By helping free farmers regain their status, we’re not making enemies of the new citizens. Therefore, if we don’t treat the new citizens as enemies, the situation will naturally resolve itself.”

“I think I understand what you mean, Lord.”

After a moment of silence, Rose Marquis’s elegant voice sounded, “Lord, you mean to apply the same appeasing policy we’ve used with ordinary new citizens to these surrendered soldiers as well.”

“Exactly.”

Leo Ray nodded, smiling affirmatively, “Whether they are ordinary civilians or these surrendered soldiers in the new citizen class, we only need to make them understand that our actions are not targeting them, depriving them of their rights, nor favoring the free farmers.”

“So, make the new citizens feel fairness?”

Asher Porter’s enlightened voice then reached Leo Ray’s ears, “No wonder you’ve continued to use the basic management structure of each city and selected and recruited from within. You’ve been planning since the beginning.”

“Yes, that’s the main reason for my actions.”

Sitting on the throne, Leo Ray nodded slightly, adding, “I not only want the new citizens to feel fairness, but I also want them to feel that we need them, that they are an indispensable part of this land.”

“But will the new citizens accept it?”

A doubtful voice from Benson came through the mind talk, “After all, we have wiped out all the forces of traditional nobles and new aristocracy in this region, and these forces are mostly new citizens. This will inevitably cause strong dissatisfaction and hatred.”

“That’s the key point.”

Leo Ray raised an eyebrow while taking the black tea handed over by Ariel, calmly speaking, “You all need to understand that we did not start this war. We were passively dragged into it, forced to take up arms to defend and counter-attack. This is indisputable.”

“You’re right, Lord, That’s exactly how it is.”

Ariel Watson nodded earnestly, echoing, “If it weren’t for the traditional nobles led by the White Knight attacking Cyan Town first, followed by the Nightmare Knight turning Cyan Town into a dead land, our territory wouldn’t have been caught in the whirlpool of war so quickly.”

“So we need to let every new citizen understand clearly that we are not the main culprits of this war. The corrupt nobles who started the war are the real culprits who sent their loved ones and brothers and sisters to their graves.”

Leo Ray took a sip of black tea and then spoke lightly, “In this way, both morally and factually, our actions are justified.”

“I understand, Lord, your wisdom is remarkable!”

Asher Porter’s sincere, admiring voice sounded again, “It was my narrow-mindedness before. Please forgive me, Lord.”

“You all are of noble class, and it’s natural that your way of thinking is different from mine. We’re just learning from each other, no big deal.”

Leo Ray smiled faintly and put down the teacup, “I believe that once the new citizens realize who the true culprits are and that we need them, everything will resolve itself.”

“Lord, what specific actions should we take now?”

Rose Marquis’s puzzled voice reached Leo Ray’s ears, “Although this approach is theoretically feasible, changing the hostile thoughts of new citizens in a short time may not be an easy task.”

“Indeed, it is very difficult, but as you said, this matter is urgent. We must address this issue thoroughly before anyone with ulterior motives can exacerbate the conflict.”

Leo Ray nodded solemnly and said seriously, “What you all need to do first is to fully implement the measures we’ve started: ensuring a year’s worth of provisions for the full defense army in each region, opening the granary, and drastically reducing taxes.”

“We must not only ensure that the liberated free farmers are well-fed and clothed with enough strength to cultivate the land, but also significantly improve the treatment of new citizens and offer them attractive benefits. For the fallen new citizen soldiers on the other side, we should also provide substantial compensation.”

“If any city lacks funds or food, report it to me immediately. I will promptly mobilize money and food from other cities. We cannot afford any mistakes in these basic issues.”

After a pause, Leo Ray added, “As for urban infrastructure, particularly improving the living environments of free farmers and some new citizens, just prepare the necessary building materials. I’ll provide a large number of building blueprints to distribute to each city.”

“Once the Lord’s logistics network is established, even building materials won’t need to be prepared anymore. There will be plenty of them here.”
