Chapter 171 Commendation Conference and Emergency

When Pearson heard Bruno's words, he shuddered so hard that he fainted.

That's a death penalty!

Of course, Pirson was not the only pirate escorted to Idar by Admiral Mal Karen, but... after the ringleader was killed, it would be a bit of a waste to execute the rest as well.

After all, it was because Runo really missed the former Ninth Production Team.

Those brainwashed thugs worked extremely hard and without asking for anything in return. They might be the only production team in the entire Idar territory that was more efficient than the serfs.

I don’t know how those lovely hooligans are doing in Bethlehem, and whether their daily lives are fulfilling enough…

So... isn't it a joyous thing to recreate the legend of the Ninth Production Team?

It not only provides a benchmark for the serfs, but also allows the pirates to undergo labor reform. After all... if they were to be interrogated carefully, not all of these pirates brought to Idar County were extremely evil.

Most of the pirates brought to Idar were selected by Captain Jack, and many of them were sent to Idar because of their conflicts with Captain Jack.

Bruno turned a blind eye to Captain Jack's actions. After all, reorganizing the pirates in the entire Basel waters was Bruno's top priority.

As for the matter of revenge... None of these pirates are good anyway, and the guys sent to labor reform are definitely not good people! "Fast Pearson must be killed to serve as a warning to others, and the other pirates are guilty, but they are not guilty of death, so... pass the order to put the remaining pirates into the ninth production team and reform through labor for 30 years!" Bruno announced in a deep voice.

In the current Idar Territory, only two types of punishment are imposed in most cases: death penalty and labor reform.

As for punishments such as fixed-term imprisonment and jail time... not only will it waste land, but it will also waste Idar Territory's air and food. It would be better to let them use their limited lives to make more contributions to Idar Territory, so as to atone for their sins!

Bruno's decision naturally received the support of the majority of Idar residents, because Bruno was the only lord who cared about civilians and serfs. They were so grateful that they had no right to complain.

After the trial, Bruno waved his hand, signaling the soldiers to quickly drag Pearson away. Then he began to talk about the good weather and great changes in Idar County over the past year, and began to commend those outstanding workers!

As the workers with big red flowers tied on their chests walked onto the stands under the guidance of Idar's personal guards, the people present all widened their eyes.

Because they knew most of the people who just came on stage, but... they were qualified to stand with the Lord! Wagner stood on the stage and felt that he had such a glorious moment for the first time! As one of the first civilians to move from Solon to Idar, Wagner relied on his hard-working spirit and the will to overcome difficulties and challenges, and repeatedly won the title of Model Worker and Pioneer of Idar Steel Factory! However, he never expected that today, Lord Bruno Stuart, Count of Idar, would personally award him the Model Worker Medal!

The sickle and hammer on the medal symbolize the peasants and workers of Idar, and the ordinary people who have worked hard for Idar! Bruno personally pinned the medal on Wagner's chest, which made Wagner feel extremely honored. He was touched by the Count!

This also means... my body is no longer just my own! It also belongs to the Earl! Excited, nervous, and thrilled.

For a moment, Wagner's body actually began to tremble slightly, and his eyes became tearful.

From Soren Territory to Idar Territory, in less than a year, Wagner really went through too much hardship. Thanks to the generous Count Idar who gave him a job, he was able to live an ordinary life again with his pregnant wife.

So... Wagner knew deeply that everything he had was given by the Lord of Idar. How could he not be grateful to Bruno, the Count of Idar?

"Come on! Keep up the good work!" Bruno patted Wagner's shoulder affectionately and encouraged him.

"I...I will definitely live up to the Count's trust!" Wagner replied excitedly.

There were a total of six workers who received the commendation this time. Most of them came from workshops and construction sites across Idar Territory, and there were even two serfs from the production team among them!

This almost made the serfs in the audience stare with their eyes wide open! It turned out that even though they were serfs, they still had the opportunity to stand on the stage and receive the Earl's praise! After the trial of the pirates and the praise of the outstanding workers came to an end, the long-awaited banquet finally began!

Although Bruno had previously claimed that everyone could participate in this ceremony, in reality, only the most diligent and hardworking serfs and civilians were eligible to participate.

But even so, the number of people is still around 3,000 to 4,000! After all... the total population of Idar Territory is only about 40,000, so 3,000 to 4,000 people is one-tenth of the population!

As for those who were unable to attend the ceremony, they could hear about what happened at the ceremony from their friends and neighbors. Besides, only when some people were able to attend and some were excluded, would people cherish the opportunity to attend the ceremony! And a very important point is that there will be an open-air banquet after the celebration. If so many people really come, the consumption of food at the banquet will be huge! Bruno can't buy so much food at once, so it's safer to save it as food reserves.

For this banquet, Bruno adopted the buffet format.

The delicious fried chicken, the barbecued skewers, the braised pork elbows, all of these... were in limited supply! However, there was plenty of white bread, seaweed soup, and seafood cooked in various ways! The people of Idar had never seen such a sumptuous meal before, and their eyes were red with envy. The Earl had really been very kind to them! But... Bruno felt a pang of heartache when he saw the large amount of food...

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

If it wasn't for winning people's hearts and uniting the Idar people, Bruno wouldn't have been willing to spend so much! Bruno shuttled among the crowd below the stage, greeting the people from time to time, and then flattered the civilian serfs...

After going around in circles, I unexpectedly ran into Wagner, a civilian working in the Idar Steel Factory who had just been awarded the Model Worker Medal.

Just as he was about to say hello to him, he saw someone saying something to him, and Wagner's face suddenly turned pale.

"What's wrong?"

Bruno walked over.

Seeing the Count coming, Wagner burst into tears and knelt on the ground:

"My Lord Earl, my wife...is having a difficult childbirth!!!"

I temporarily adjusted the order of the wonders, because the author calculated that if this child is not born, it will be almost ten months (covering my face...
