Chapter 204: Winter Is Coming!
Just as Li Ze was about to shout for the third time, a young masked man stood up and shouted, "It seems that no one else is bidding, so it's time for me to come!" ”
The masked man said to the old man who was shouting for 500,000 yuan: "Lord Reese, I know your budget, so I'm sorry." For this set of keel plate armor, I bid 1 million! ”
The old man, known as Lord Rees, changed his face suddenly!
500,000 is indeed not his highest price, but if it exceeds 1 million dinars, then he will no longer be able to compete.
Hearing the number of 1 million, Li Ze on the stage instantly ascended to the sky.
500,000 directly doubled to 1 million?
Comfortable!
The price of 1 million is really terrifying, and it has already set a record for auctions in the northern region.
The masked man didn't meet any competitors again.
A few days later, when the exhibition ended, Li Ze also successfully completed the transaction.
Pay with one hand and deliver with the other.
For this masked young man, Li Ze is also very curious: A person who can take out 1 million dinars in one breath can be regarded as a hero in the kingdom, I don't know where the lord and nobleman are?
However, the local tyrants want to keep a low profile, so Li Ze doesn't ask much about it, anyway, as long as he has money.
Seeing that the village treasury was full of dinars, Li Ze's mood was quite comfortable.
All of a sudden, I finally got really rich.
Recently, Dragon's Stepping Stone Village has been engaged in infrastructure construction, coupled with the crazy expansion of territory, which has caused Li Zeqi to become a dog.
Now, with this million, the infrastructure that was once about to stagnate can finally continue to start.
Standing on the construction site, Li Ze wore a hard hat and shouted domineeringly: "Everyone roll up your sleeves and work hard!" There is a big amount of money! ”
When the spring breeze was proud, there was a new move on the Black King's side.
Tax increases!
Massive tax hikes across the country!
The Black King's envoy came to the Dragon Stepping Stone Village and made the king's request to Li Ze: "For the glory of mankind!" In order to deliver the final blow to the demons who are still breathing! His Majesty has assembled a brand new army of 50,000 men! ”
"Of course, the army needs military spending. I know that Lord Li Ze has recently earned 1 million dinars, so why don't I ask Lord Li Ze to carry forward the spirit of patriotism and donate the 1 million dinars obtained from the auction? ”
No way!
Li Ze was furious, the Black King was desperate as soon as he came up!
The king had an army, and now he has raised another 50,000 men?
This is just a medium-sized kingdom in the Middle Ages, such a small country, and there is no particularly urgent military situation, does this black king actually want to raise an army of 100,000?
In the face of the king's tax collection envoy, Li Ze's attitude was: It is impossible to raise taxes, and as for handing over 1 million dinars, it is even more imperative to talk about it.
Li Ze immediately refused: "When I took office, the old king promised that in order to support the construction of Stepping Stone Village, he would not raise taxes to Dragon Stepping Stone Village within 10 years. As for the auctioned dinars, they were the proceeds of my personal adventures. ”
"Private property is sacrosanct, even the king does not have this power!"
Seeing Li Ze's unceremonious refusal, the envoy asked coldly, "It seems that Lord Li Ze is not ready to give the king this face?" ”
Li Ze also smiled coldly and said, "What if I don't give it?" ”
The envoy warned Li Zedao: "His Majesty has an army of 100,000, and you can't afford Your Majesty's anger!" ”
And Li Ze just said categorically: "Come if you're brave enough!" ”
Huff!
But Li Ze wasn't actually very worried.
Because the nationwide tax increase is really unpopular.
As a king, there is no problem in oppressing his own people.
But if the king wants to steal money from the lieges, then the problem is big!
Although there were some lords, succumbing to the king's military power, choosing to pay taxes.
But the vast majority of lords, like Li Ze, chose to refuse or perfunctory.
And the authority of the king is inviolable, and the Linden Wan army rises in all directions!
The lords from all over the country have set off the banner of rebellion, including Li Ze himself, who is also planning to rebel.
It's just that Dragon Stepping Stone Village is located in the northern frontier, and while rebelling against the Black King, there is also the pressure of the northern demons attacking.
Standing on the stepping stone and looking at the south, Li Ze couldn't help but sigh with emotion, the golden period of peaceful development felt like it was about to pass.
When he was sighing, a gloomy Lori voice came from beside him: "Sad face? Laugh wow. ”
Li Ze, barely squeezing out a smile, sighed in a tone that you didn't understand when you were young: "inter is coming!" ”
Due to the dragon slaying and a large number of village infrastructure, the various indices of Dragon Stepping Stone Village have soared a lot.
And when Li Ze burned out hundreds of thousands of dinars within a month, Stepping Stone Village was finally promoted to a Level 4 Adventure Village.
After reaching level 4 Adventure Village, there are naturally some new facilities to build.
Premium Tavern: 200 Town Points.
Circus Square: 300 Town Points.
Fortune Room: 200 town points.
Library: 200 town points.
School: 200 town points.
Institute of Magic: 300 Town Points.
Museums: 300 town points.
The number of new facilities is not particularly large, adding up to only seven.
But all of them are big projects, and they require a lot of points.
And Li Ze, naturally, can't afford to change one.
"Looks like we're going to have to find a way to earn some town points." Li Ze muttered to himself.
Li Ze still has 70 town points on hand, and he can't change the facilities, but he can still spend a little.
In the consumption list, there is a very cheap event - the sprint competition.
Recently, everyone has been bored with infrastructure construction, and many villagers are tired.
Energize the village with a sprint race, and relax with free drinks and food during the race.
This is exactly what Li Ze is aiming for.
I spent 50 points and applied for a sprint race with the Adventurers' Association.
Cheap sprint races naturally can't attract the attention of outsiders, and there are no foreign tourists and guests.
But Li Ze doesn't care, it's a small game, entertaining himself.
There is free food and drink, at least in the Stepping Stones Village, and the participation rate and mobilization of the competition are very high.
Li Ze served as the starter, and as soon as the whistle blew, the contestants started one after another.
After the group stage and the knockout round, it was ...... who finally entered the quarterfinals
Bamboo Sword, Coyote, Mika, Ryan, Dull Ichiro, Green Kite, Tongsheng and Alexander.
This is also Li Ze's expectation, these buddies are all warriors or archers, and their motor nerves are more developed.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Dragon Stepping Stone Village's 1st PUBG Sprint Tournament Finals Begin! ”
With a whistle from referee Li Ze, the eight players flew out like sharp arrows.
And along with the eight contestants, there is also Bunny!
