236 Pay protection money to the dragon
"Since George, you have nothing to do, that's great, your father is worried, you father and son should catch up with the old days!" Zhou Kun looked at the excited Adolf and said.
Adolf threw himself into George's arms and cried like a child, after George's retelling, Zhou Kun knew that this guy mixed well in the army, because George's superior was killed in the last sneak attack, so George was ordered to become the lord of Nas City, and successfully held it until now.
"Teacher, I didn't expect your arrival to easily make the enemy troops surrender, and now Nas City is temporarily safe, but in order to prevent the surprise attack of the enemy army, can these dragons you invited allow them to stay?"
George suddenly made such an "unreasonable" request, Nas City is now full of devastation, the original quiet border town was affected by the war, and the residents of the city lived in terror every day, which made George think of the blue city of the past, which is why George was ordered to take over Nas City in the first place.
"George, these dragons are friends with their teachers at most, except for Ambabu, they will all return to the Valley of the Dragons, they were invited to save you and me, and they will not intervene in the war of humans. ”
When George heard Zhou Kun's words, he was first moved by what the teacher had done for him, and then felt pity. Once these dragons leave, the enemy nation will surely choose to send troops against Nas City again.
"George, you'd better go back with your dad now!" For Adolf, the safety of his son comes first, and this time George is lucky, who can guarantee that he will be able to survive safely next time.
George is only here to serve in the military, and even if his son escapes back to Blue City in a war like Nas City, the lord of the country will not be guilty.
"Dad, I'm not leaving, I'm the only one my men in Nas City can rely on. ”
"But you are the only male of the Parador family, if something happens to you, then how do you let me explain to the ancestors of the Parador family?"
"But if I flee back to Blue City, I'm afraid I'll spend my life regretting it. ”
The father and son were at such a stalemate, and suddenly Zhou Kun spoke: "George, if you are given half a year, are you sure that Nas City will be built into a rich medium-sized city without the spread of war?"
"Although governing the city-state is not my strong point, if I want to make Nas City a rich city, as long as there is a turnover of 20,000 dragon crystals, I think I can do it. ”
George didn't shy away from his talent for making money, but he had never been interested in it, and learning magic from his teacher made him happier.
But now that Mr. Kuhn asked him this, there must have been a special intention in it, so George didn't hide it and chose to tell the truth.
"Then from this moment on, it is the teacher who gives you the latest test, you need to use your talent for making money to buy peace in Nas City with money. ”
"Teacher, what do you mean by that? ”
"I'm going to talk to the dragons, and from this moment on, Nas City will have a new tax, called the Dragon Tax. Every month I will arrange for three dragons to come to Nas City, and George, you will be responsible for paying enough taxes to the dragons. ”
"Teacher Kuhn, is this really possible?If so, how much more will it cost to add two dragons?" In George's opinion, what can be solved with money is not a problem, since you can exchange protection with money, then you might as well add two more dragons!
In response to George, Zhou Kun's brain collapsed: "What you think is beautiful! Whether you can succeed depends on the mood of the dragons, do you think the dragons are so easy to talk?"
In fact, according to the communication between Zhou Kun and Ambabu observed by George before, if all the dragons were as greedy for money as Ambabu, then the teacher's plan would definitely work.
"Pilox, I want to discuss something with you. ”
"Kuhn, what do you say? "Now Pilox has long put Zhou Kun in the position of a friend, so Zhou Kun dared to come up and discuss with him about paying protection money to the dragon.
"The bearded man who used to stand on the city wall is my apprentice, he is now the lord of Nas City, because the city is very unpeaceful, so he needs to ask the dragons for protection, for which he is willing to pay enough taxes to the dragons every month. ”
"Taxes?"
"It's the protection fee, which roughly means that every month the dragon clan will send three dragons to Nas City to sleep for a month, and then they will take about 5,000 gold coins with them when they leave. ”
Pilux somewhat understood what Zhou Kun meant, but it was very hesitant, after all, the dragon had never set foot in the human world before, and he had opened up because of Zhou Kun's relationship, and all the dragons who came today were for the sake of Ambabu and his own face, if it was said that it was obviously unrealistic to arrange the dragon to come to Nas City every month.
"Let me tell them. ”
At this time, Ambabu suddenly interjected, after all, since taking over Pilox's business, Ambabu has come into contact with many dragons who are short of money.
How could a rich dragon like Pilox, who didn't know the suffering of the dragons, know the heart of a poor ghost like them?
If you want to be promoted to a dual-line dragon, what should you do if you don't have gold? Pepper is controlled by more powerful dragon families, and Ambabu's proposal is simply a natural pie business for dragons.
"5,000 gold coins is too little, the key is that the dragons won't divide it, let your entourage directly divide the gold coins into three points, a 2,000 gold coin, we will take over this business!"
This simple calculation is nothing for Ambabu, but there are still many dragons who can't figure it out, and 2,000 gold coins for a dragon at a time is clear, so the noble dragons in the Valley of Dragons are once again bent by money.
However, in order to prevent people from taking advantage of the dragons, Zhou Kun agreed with George that the dragons would not leave the city during the protection of Nas City, nor would they take the initiative to attack, and the dragons would come and go freely.
After all, for the current Nas City, the role of the dragons' deterrence is greater than the substance, and Zhou Kun does not want the dragons to really get involved in the human war.
Nas City is geographically worthless, and there are no coveted resources, compared to challenging the three-headed dragon in exchange for such a chicken city, obviously no one with brains will do this, so after paying the first 6,000 gold protection fee, Nas City can really enter a state of peace.
There were still a few hours before the time to go back, and after finally making such a long journey, Zhou Kun decided to take a stroll around Nas City to see if there were any new varieties of fruits to bring back.
