The days of peace are fleeting, and the county of Meredith changes every day, and the most changing of them is naturally the city of plenty, with countless houses and shops built of red bricks and logs in the north of the city.

Because the first roads were built, then the shops, and the last houses, many shops along the street have already opened.

Most of the shopkeepers here are former black market traders, and Renard had promised them the shop, and now he has done so.

But Lei Ye's cheap is not easy to take advantage of, although I promised to give you the store, but I didn't say how much, so I ......

How big was your previous shop? 80 square meters? What do you think about this 400 square meter shop? It's only 30 coins per square meter!

How about giving you a 95% discount for the remaining 320 square meters? Hey, big brother, don't go! The price is negotiable! Rent is also possible!

Eventually, the shops in the northern part of the city formed a tradition of renting and not selling.

The largest charter wife is naturally Count Heidi, and more than 95% of the shops in the north of the city belong to the Meredith family, and the annual rental income alone is close to 3,000 gold coins.

As for the residence, the original bungalow construction method was abandoned, and the two-story villa style was adopted, which was transparent from north to south, but the total area was only 60 square meters, and the large amount of land saved could be used to build more houses and make more money.

In the end, Lei Ye withdrew from the bombshell - zero down payment interest-free mortgage!

You don't need a down payment to live in a new house, and it's an annual repayment, after all, this world is dominated by agriculture, so that there are many people who can't pay it on a monthly basis, Lei Ye has taken great pains to settle down in order to pit these broken settlements.

Most of the displaced people have already joined the county of Meredith, and at the same time they have been given a share of the newly cultivated land, and when they have land, they naturally want to buy apartments and settle down.

The price per square meter is ten silver coins, and sixty square meters is six gold coins, and the minimum annual repayment limit is twenty silver coins, which means that it can be repaid in thirty years.

The homeless people were a little moved, after all, the land around the city of Plenty was very fertile, and it was very easy to earn four silver coins per acre of land if they were hard-working and willing to work, excluding the tax burden.

Ten acres of land is forty silver coins, which is just the limit of the work of adult strong laborers, and women and children can basically easily repay the loan with a handle, and they can also ensure food, clothing, housing and transportation.

But I'm afraid of encountering natural disasters or man-made disasters or something, now the barren land is rampant with demons, if one day I run out and ruin the crops, what if I can't pay the loan?

As soon as the idea came to me, the good news came to my ears.

"Good news!Your Excellency has adjusted your tax burden!" "Good news, the county of Meredith will only have four taxes from now on, and it will be paid annually. "The news is that the tax burden has been lowered across the board, and the burden on the people has been reduced by 90 percent. ”

At first, people were skeptical, but after reading the notice, they were all excited.

However, after the excitement, they began to think calmly, if this is the case, should they buy more rooms, and when their son grows up, he will marry his mother-in-law, after all, sixty square meters is too small.

I have to say that Lei Ye almost single-handedly contributed to the concept of buying a house and marrying a daughter-in-law in another world.

Winter goes to spring, and the harvest celebration is coming.

Renard is entering the new age of twenty-one, which means that he has been away from Constantinople for a full year.

I don't know how Betty went, little Audrey is well-behaved, does she miss her father.

He wrote several letters in the past, and also received a reply, the content was about the same, except that he missed or missed.

Looking at the lights in the city, Lei Ye deeply realized what it means to miss his relatives every festival.

Today, the city of abundance has changed from a small city to a large city, with a total population of 120,000, not only restoring the prosperity of 30 years ago, but even more beautiful.

The population of the two surrounding villages has also doubled, and now it has become a town, and the tulip town is now even more lively, almost becoming a second city of abundance.

The fields outside the city are full of hard-working farmers, planting seeds and waiting for the autumn harvest.

The wide avenue was full of people and cars, all merchants who had come to trade, or merchants who had already finished trading and returned with a full load.

In the school training ground, the two reserve squadrons were training in an orderly manner, and their clothes were already wet with sweat.

Early in the morning, Renard climbed the bell tower and stood on a huge platform, looking at the fields in the distance, and the fresh air suddenly swept away the exhaustion all over his body, and slowly cheered him up.

After the beginning of spring, more and more caravans came and went, and it was clear that the abolition of various commercial taxes in the city of Plenty reached the ears of more merchants.

These men traveled thousands of miles to trade here, bringing with them precious stones, utensils, and clothes from the north, and taking with them ale, skins, and dried fruits.

There are also more adventurers coming here, and many people choose to settle down because the houses here are not expensive and the installment payment method is easier to make up your mind.

Some mercenaries with good strength joined the army, and they also brought their families here, and they ate the imperial grain to repay the loans, and the mother-in-law found another livelihood, and the parents and children went to farm, and the small life was also beautiful.

Just as Renard was intoxicated with the idea of building the perfect city, Salisbury suddenly ran up quickly: "Boss, Earl Heidi said that there is something urgent for you. ”

Lei Ye reacted from the fugue, took a deep breath of fresh air, and turned around and went down the bell tower.

As soon as he walked through the office door, Renard noticed the presence of an unknown man, who had also noticed him.

Heidi smiled and introduced, "This is Lieutenant Beecher at the Nolan outpost, and this is my husband Renard. ”

The man took off his military hat, smiled a little reservedly, and greeted, "Hello, Lord Renard. ”

Renard nodded, and returned the salute with the same smile: "Hello, Lieutenant Beecher." ”

Then he sat down on the couch next to him and asked Heidi, "What's the important thing to call me here?"

Heidi pointed to Lieutenant Beecher opposite, "Ask Lieutenant Beecher." ”

Renard looked at Lieutenant Beecher again, his gaze tinging with inquiry.

Lieutenant Beecher pondered for a long time before he said with difficulty: "Don't hide it from Your Excellency Renard, I rushed to the City of Plenty from the outpost this time, in fact, I want to borrow troops from you. ”

Hearing these two words, Renard frowned very obviously, he had heard of borrowing money and things, but he had never heard of borrowing soldiers.

Lieutenant Beecher couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he saw his expression.

After being silent for a long time, he suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "I can't help it anymore, the only places nearby that can borrow soldiers are the Meredith family and the Chesterton family, but ......"

Renard interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and asked with some confusion, "What are you borrowing troops for?"

Lieutenant Beecher was silent again, and after a few dozen seconds, he said something that frightened everyone present: "We have found two demonic lairs lurking underground, not far from the Nolan outpost. ”
