Jokes aside, Lu En still found a problem at the moment, that is, Mu Xilon's situation can not be worse, the dissatisfaction of the people does not threaten Lu En's rule, but the dissatisfaction of the nobles is a real threat.

Lu En frowned, of course he also has a routine to solve the dilemma now, but at the moment, Lu En feels that it has not yet reached the critical time.

Myne trembled and said, "My lord, if there is no money, our serfs will also begin to flee the famine on a large scale, and the entire land of Musilon will be completely deserted next spring." ”

Lu En frowned: "I'll figure it out." ”

In fact, Bretonnia is said to be a feudal country, but to a large extent there is some shadow of slavery, after all, grain has to be handed over to nine layers, and if it were not for serfdom, it is hard to believe that there would be any yeoman farmer who would not starve to death on this level of taxation.

"Escape from the famine? Is there really nothing to eat this winter? Lu En frowned and muttered to himself.

Just as Lu En didn't know how to speak to the nobleman in front of him, the office door was pushed open again, and this time it was the somewhat angry Catherine priest who walked in.

"My lord, the money for the construction of the Great Temple must be in place, otherwise the workers are ready to strike at any time, not to mention that the problems of the workers may be solved in arrears, but the engineering materials cannot be delivered in an instant."

Lu En frowned and said, "Enough! ”

"I've heard enough."

Just as Lu En was about to get angry and kick them all out, there was a knock on the door, followed by Princess Estella walking into the office.

"You've got it done." Estella walked up to Luen's side, picked up the paper on the ground, and said, "One morning's business, just two things, you haven't finished it yet, it's too inefficient." ”

Lu En took a deep breath and calmed down his mood, then grabbed a pen on the table and knocked on the table: "First of all, the law and order of Mu Xilong must be rectified, and the mercenary union and the brothel must be closed for me. ”

Myne shouted excitedly, "No, my lord, the mercenary union and the brothel are closed, and soon Musillon will fall into chaos!" ”

Lu En looked at Maine in front of him, he knew that some nobles relied on opening mercenary unions and brothels to make money on Mu Silon's citizen class, and deliberately disrupted law and order for two purposes, one was to give Lu En a color, that is, Lu En confiscated their security forces, which caused Mu Silon to be very chaotic, and the second purpose was to wash away the money from the residents of Mu Silon's town as much as possible.

Lu En snorted coldly: "My plan is very simple, after the mercenary union and brothels are closed, I want your nobles to recruit as many manpower as possible to reclaim the farmland. ”

"These people can only pay me a tax burden of 5 tiers, and they are free people, all of whom accept Count Musillon, that is, my direct leadership."

"After I finish the selection, you are making a second selection, of course, you can continue to make them pay 9 layers of taxes, but you must eat and live."

Lu En banged on the table: "How to control people, you don't need me to teach it, law, interest, etc." ”

Lu En suddenly stood up: "From today onwards, I want to see the underworld in Musilon Town completely eliminated, don't tell me that someone has to do something, if it has to be done, then it can only be done by me!" ”

Sweat was on his forehead, and he nodded hurriedly.

Lu En then sat back in his chair: "Recruit some strong men to join the security team, and increase the patrol of the security team, I want to see Mu Xilon's law and order quickly restored." ”

Estella suddenly spoke: "But if you do this, there will be a big shortage of gold coins, after all, mercenary unions and brothels also have to pay taxes, if you expand the security team, then the amount of gold coins may not be enough." ”

"The next step is to restore the market area in Musilon and encourage more people to become artisans, so that there will be more and more goods in the town of Musilon," Lu said. ”

"This is just the beginning, when the security of Musilon is resolved, I will send the nobles to seek investment from overseas merchants and rebuild the location of Musilon trading port."

"When the economy of the market rises to a certain level, I will organize a bank in the market to control the economic lifeline of the entire town of Musilon."

"Banks?" Myne was a little confused.

"A place for people and merchants to store their money," Lu said. ”

Although Myne didn't know the concept of this place to store gold coins, his attention was still focused on what Lu En had just talked about, about how to attract investment.

Maine hesitated for a moment: "I don't know exactly how to attract investment, those merchants have never come to our Musilon, even if they were, the merchants placed the luxury goods of the empire in Musilon and then sold them to the south of Bretonnia. ”

Lu En nodded: "Musilon is a port location, after all, it is a small town located in the north of Bretonnia, but as a good trading port, such a throughput is not normal. ”

"The southern economic center of Bretonnia is in the territory of Al-Ebolique, the famous red wine territory of Pordero.

But it was nominally only a production center, and because the port there did not have a deep draft, it was difficult to get a large number of ships into Poldero.

But Musillon is different, we have not only alluvial plains, but also natural harbors, and the reason why this place did not become the financial center of southern Bretonnia some time ago is mainly because of the vampire rage.

But now, these crises have been saved by me.

I will give these businessmen good enough policies, and they will all come to my territory to invest, because it is full of potential, and that is exactly what I planned.

Think about it, aren't you excited when Musilon's economy gets better day by day, and the houses on the streets become more expensive little by little? You know you're my nobles.

I will give you the temptation now, but all nobles will get a 20% discount on buying a house in Musilon, and what I want to tell you is that I am about to limit the purchase of houses, and if you do not buy a house before the people of the empire, you will not have a house to buy in the future. ”

"If nothing else, just tell your comrades about my plan."

Myne nodded excitedly and left the room.

Lu En turned his head to look at Catherine beside him: "I have money, you go ahead and purify the land, those nobles will use their last gold coins to buy houses." ”
