Chapter 273: Norwen's Spring (I)

Galloping on the path approaching spring, the cold wind was still so biting, and the young Prince Arthur, who was sitting behind Baron Bradian, subconsciously glanced back at Camelot City.

It was the place where he had lived for four years, the beginning of his father's glory, and at the same time the place of his hatred, the goal of his life.

The city of Camelot, in the midst of blood and fire, has finally lost its original owner and ushered in a new ruler.

The crows in the castle rose to the sky, and they seemed to know that they had no connection with the corpses in the castle, so they left this place early, leaving this sad place that was clearly in front of them but could not reach their mouths.

Their ascension was as dark as a dark cloud, enveloping the entire city of Carmellot, and a whole large field of crows hovered above the castle, which seemed to foreshadow the future of the Carmellot Kingdom.

While the young king secretly made an oath in his heart, William still lived leisurely in the territory.

Although his self-motivation, which had been somewhat lost, had been reawakened by the children who had been born, it did not affect his leisurely life.

After all, he didn't have any goals in the short term, and the entire strategy of recuperation in Denglenburg was still going on, and the land reclamation, the popularization of the Manders Code, and the promotion of commerce were all slowly progressing.

The training of the army and the cooperation of the knights were also in good order, and with the beginning of winter passing, spring ploughing was about to begin.

And the first batch of slaves sent by the Chekels, about five hundred, were about to be transported to William, but in terms of placement, he did not need to deal with it personally.

Reims has a good talent in this area, although he is far from Vidal, who has excellent coordination ability, but he is currently in the hands of William, and he can still hold this position.

At this time, the finances of the castle, William had basically handed over to Wella to deal with, as a noble lady, the wife of a lord, there was no power in her hands.

What's more, this is just the finances in the castle, and the finances in the territory are still tightly held in his hands.

But don't mention, after more than three months, Vidal and Kenos are really not vegetarians, and the two of them have adopted different strategies.

Relying on strict laws and the fairness of transactions, Kenos attracted a large number of merchants to the town of Soros, which he was in charge of.

Vidal, on the other hand, relied on the abundant real estate in Sutton Town, as well as some concessions, and made full use of the propaganda power of William's domain, which also attracted a large number of businessmen to operate there.

Not only that, coupled with William's policies throughout the county, as well as William's own methods, and the propaganda of the Reims Guild among the surrounding merchants, commerce in the entire territory also prospered a lot.

Thus, in the city of Denlenburg alone, William had drawn out more than 800 silver coins in the commercial tax.

Combined with the scattered taxes of the other two cities and village estates, the merchant tax alone would have provided William with 1,600 silver coins a month.

You must know that the commercial tax of the entire Tskma royal family is only 8,000 silver coins a month, which is nearly five times the area of Denglenburg, not to mention how prosperous the commerce is there.

If William was given two years, he was confident that he would raise the commercial tax of the entire territory by three thousand silver coins, and if he was given four years, it would not be possible to have four or five thousand silver coins.

And William's general domain governance is booming, and the news of military power has also spread to the surrounding territories, so there are so many people to cheer for this competition.

The clean-looking streets of Denlenburg are crowded with people, many times higher than usual, and the result is definitely crowding.

A girl who looked to be about ten years old was walking on the street, being a little dizzy in the crowd, and a maid dressed as a woman and a man dressed as a groom next to him were also a little anxious.

"Oh my God, it's so crowded, look, Miss, my clean clothes are stained by these untouchables, let's hurry back!"

The middle-aged woman dressed as a maid looked at the crowd around her with an exaggerated expression, and then pinched her nose as if she had smelled the worst smell in the world, and said in an exaggerated tone.

"Yes, Miss, this is simply the dirtiest, the most lowly slum, and your presence here is simply an insult to your blood and family!"

The other groom also pretended to cover his nose, looking at his surroundings with disgust, as if he was born noble.

"Alright, since we're all out, let's take a good stroll, it's so boring to stay in a boring castle all the time!"

"And that annoying Sir Sonam, who thinks he can always harass me with my father's permission? I don't want to see them! ”

In order to hide their identity, the two people next to the noble girl team wearing ordinary robes complained

In order to avoid the turbulent and crowded crowd, the three of them finally found a chance to walk into a small alley, which was considered to be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, they've been shopping for a long time, and they've bought a lot of goods, even if they look very delicate and they're just a bunch of junk that even the grooms can recognize.

At this moment, five vicious-looking bandits suddenly appeared in the alley, dressed in cloth clothes and holding weapons such as daggers or short swords.

Obviously some villains or robbers, and at the front of them was a man wearing chain mail and a sword at his waist who looked like a wandering knight.

He looked at the three people in front of him with a lustful and greedy expression, and said in a hoarse voice: "Hey, hey, the three of you, we've been in trouble lately, I wonder if you can support us with some silver coins to tide us over?" ”

Although their words were polite, they began to approach one after another with the weapons in their hands.

Not to mention the situation of the noble lady, even the two maids and grooms, who looked down on people, were also trembling at this time looking at the bandits in front of them.

At this time, they regretted in their hearts, why they scooped into this remote alleyway, why they made such a generous move to attract attention, and why they agreed to the unreasonable request of the young lady.

But in any case, no one can hear the remorse in their hearts, and no one will heed their desperate pleas to the Holy Father.

Looking at the noble lady's delicate and white face, the wandering knight seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help but show an obscene smile on his face.

The noble lady, who had grown up under the protection of her father and brother, had never seen such a formation, and before they could reach her, she crouched down and began to scream.

However, her screams did not play any role, but instead provoked the crime in the other party's heart.

Just like the big bad wolf looking at the little white rabbit, the wandering knight salivated and looked at the aristocratic lady in front of him like a little white rabbit.

Just as he was about to stretch out his claws to the noble lady, a roar suddenly sounded from the exit of the alley.
