Chapter 70: Stingy

The town hall is only a first-order, and the mercenary attributes that are brushed out are all average, and these two are already the best of the five.

No way, just make do with it.

The town hall will refresh the mercenaries every 24 hours, and then change them when they encounter good attributes.

Levi appointed Maria to the head of the town hall.

Taxes and wages can now be adjusted.

Levi lowered the tax on the territory to 10 percent and reduced the wages of all workers by 50 percent.

This operation made the people's hearts drop directly.

Originally, it was close to 90 points, and now it has fallen back to 60, but when they get used to it, they will naturally slowly rise back.

With the Town Hall, a number of new buildings have been unlocked in the building list, two of which are mandatory.

Trading markets and workers' unions.

With the market, Levi can sell the items produced in the territory to the residents in the market first, which is just right for the characteristics of the two managers, and can get a large amount of money back.

The Marketplace doesn't need to be built, just a specific area within the territory.

Levi chose a block directly in his territory.

After this street is a commercial street.

The workers' union allows residents to freely change occupations, and in the future, Levi does not have to worry about recruiting that type of mercenary, and can directly let the existing workers change jobs if they lack anything.

The workers' union did not have a manager, and it just so happened that the old village chief was idle after Maria became the manager of the town hall, and it was a good choice for him to be the president of the union.

After allocating all this, Levi glanced at the accounts.

67 gold and 49 silver.

Now that all the lumberjacks in the territory have advanced to second-order mercenaries, Levi only keeps a dozen of them to cut down ordinary wood and maintain the construction of the territory, and all the rest go to cut down the green water tree.

It can produce about 500 units of green water wood in one hour.

All of them are put on the trading platform, and the money in the territorial accounts is almost rising, and there is finally no shortage of money.

He returned to the town hall and was about to continue recruiting mercenaries, when he suddenly saw Maria and Jos arguing there.

"Impossible! I'm not going to give this money! ”

Mary held the ledger tightly in her hand.

Jos's face was bruised with anger.

Levi hurriedly walked over and asked, "What's the matter?" What are you two arguing about here when you two first take office? ”

"Your lord, you've just arrived! Jos: He had to spend a sum of money in his accounts that he didn't have to waste! ”

Mary cried out as if she had seen a savior.

"Huh?"

Levi looked at Jos strangely.

There must be a reason why there is no greed for money in his flaws, and there will be no inexplicable expenditure of funds.

Sure enough, I only listened to Joss explain without humility or arrogance: "My lord, this is the case, the market has just been established, and we need to form a militia to maintain order, otherwise it is easy to steal and make trouble, I don't think this expenditure is as meaningless as Miss Maria said!" ”

"Our territory is very stable, everyone has a job, there is a stable source of income, who is going to steal?

Mr. Joss, you'll need to spend ten gold coins to build a team, and you'll need at least ...... monthly maintenance."

Levi sounded a little big.

But he also figured out what was going on.

Jos's suggestion was not wrong, the market was the most chaotic place, and it really needed a militia to maintain order.

But Mary's stingy nature took effect.

Perhaps, from her standpoint, all expenses that do not affect the safety and survival of the territory are unnecessary......

"I'm ready for it."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Levi hurriedly made a decision.

"Your Lord!"

Mary stomped her foot in a hurry.

But she couldn't argue with Levi's decision.

Watching Joss snatch ten gold coins out of the account was like cutting her heart with a knife.

"Hint: Maria Loyalty -1!"

"Alas......"

Levi sighed, originally thought that this stinginess was a positive effect, but he didn't expect it to hurt so much.

I knew it early.

It's better to choose the one whose defect is lustful.

He waved his hand to open the sand table and click on all the houses.

At this time, all the low-level houses have been upgraded, and none of the newly built high-level houses have been completed due to lack of materials.

Currently, 250 Tier 1 mercenaries can also be recruited.

Levi directly smashed in 50 gold, all recruited!

Mary suddenly became anxious again: "Lord Lord! ……”

"Huh?!"

Levi glared at her.

Mary pursed her lips aggrievedly and stopped talking.

"Hint: Maria Loyalty +5!"

Well???

What is the reason for this???

Levi was baffled by her.

After thinking about it, Levi didn't try to change Maria's thinking pattern, and it was actually good to pick out the dots.

What's more, the right she can decide is just a few small things that affect the people's hearts, and there are many ways to increase the people's hearts.

Important decisions about the territory were not her turn.

The newly recruited mercenaries, Levi stuffed some of them into the sealed place as soon as possible.

Fill all the areas that can be occupied so far.

The Naga Revenant refreshes quickly, and these mercenaries will soon be promoted to the second rank, and at that time, they will be a powerful force of labor in any class.

After taking care of the affairs of Greedy Wolf Village, Levi flew to another island in a sea eagle.

And the hidden dragon should not be used, and he has been waiting here for a long time.

The Broken Army Territory is now invincible, so naturally he didn't come to declare war, and he only had one person coming.

"Poof."

Levi jumped down from the eagle and watched as the hidden dragon was useless.

"Something?"

Qianlong Bei glanced deeply at the sea eagle that flew away, he had already heard about it, and now that he saw it with his own eyes, he understood how difficult it was to snatch back this island in Levi's hands.

If his players are all professionals like the Wonderful Gate, there may be hope.

Oh, of course, that assume, the monster that slashed out 100,000 damage with a single sword last night won't strike again......

"I want to make a deal with you."

Don't use the hidden dragon to get straight to the point.

Levi smiled, guessing what he meant.

"You want to buy the island back?"

"That's right." "I might as well tell you that my men have explored the entire island, and there are no rare resources, except for some metal that has been dug up by the dwarves.

This island is now worth only this land and that group of dwarves, I can bid 200,000, you occupy this island, at least it will take a year to earn back 200,000.

In case you are knocked down by the door of all wonders during this period, and you can't make any money, you will definitely not lose this deal. ”

"200,000?"

Levi didn't lift his eyelids.

Don't worry about this hidden dragon, I'm afraid I'll take him for a fool.

Not to mention anything else, just the ship drawings in the hands of the dwarves will have to be hundreds of thousands! Coupled with their shipbuilding skills, it's more than enough to earn back a million in a year!

Although there is a real risk of being knocked down during this period.

But the price given by the hidden dragon is really not sincere.

"If you add another zero, I might think about it."

Levi directly refused.

Qianlong Beiyong frowned, "Why are you so greedy? Do you really think you can eat these two islands? As far as I know, those three have already decided to join forces to fight you!

If you return the island to me, I can still be your ally when the time comes, and we may not be able to fight with them when we join forces! ”

Li Wei raised his eyebrows when he heard this, not sure whether the words of Qianlong Bei were true or false, but there was indeed such a possibility.

However, even if they develop honestly, they will be able to let themselves go in the end?

It's just a matter of time.

He pulled out his staff, "Do you have anything else?" ”

Qianlong Bei subconsciously took a step back and exclaimed, "What are you going to do?" I sincerely want to make a deal with you, and I didn't bring anyone else here, don't you want any face at all? ”

"You said it yourself, if you don't bring someone to me, what's the relationship between me and me killing you?"

Levi asked with a smile.

Qianlong Bei's breath was a little unstable, "Just because of this, you gave up the opportunity to cooperate with me?!" ”

"It's you who don't have ......"

Levi was stunned suddenly, and his heart moved slightly.

Seeing that his expression didn't seem to be fake, could it be that the hidden dragon was really just not aware of the origin of these dwarves?

Come to think of it, it seems to be too.

Even after Elder Shiva took the initiative to ask, he only learned about their special abilities, so he thought that the relationship between the hidden dragon and Elder Shiva should not be used, and the other party could tell him?

It makes sense.

In his eyes, those dwarves were just a group of high-level craftsmen at best, and buying 300 craftsmen for 200,000 was already a big deal.

As for this island, which does not have any resource collection, if you want to develop it, you will even have to lose money to enter it.

The hidden dragon does not use it, and it is indeed with sincerity.

However, Levi does not point out his mistakes.
