Chapter 66 There must be deception
"Hehehe, I know the situation of Mr. Arthur Mario very well, of course I won't let you pay." Frick Canon smiled, no money is good, no money to meet his needs.
Are the nobles rich? In terms of taxes, Morado is almost as poor as a clang, there are only a few commercial shops, and the amount of taxes is only a fixed amount of money, and the taxes in the town are only a dozen gold coins, not to mention supporting a few nobles, and even the daily security team expenses are not enough to maintain.
There were few ordinary peasants, and the land mostly belonged to the nobility and yeoman farmers, while both belonged to the non-tax-paying class, and the annual harvest was purchased by caravans of the kingdom.
On the whole, the total output value of the entire Morado is only 15 gold coins per person per year, and the output value of 2,000 gold coins is 3,000 gold coins even if the underage and the elderly are counted together.
After subtracting the normal consumption and telephone bills, the final one-tenth of the money is good, the yeoman farmers account for one-third of it, the nobles account for one-half, and the remaining one-sixth is mostly earned by shops and ordinary peasants, and finally those changes belong to ordinary tenants.
There are three main families of Morado's nobility, the largest of which is of course the mayor of Morado, the Canon family, headed by Frick Canon.
The other two are more low-key, but in fact, if you study the positions in the town, you will find that the shadow of the other two.
The kingdom that controls the tax power sends the nobleman Dekafi, and the veteran nobleman who oversees the land and goods, Thales.
In the north, the position of the Canon family is the most solid, occupying the dominant position in the entire town.
And the latter two are not ordinary, the tax is in charge of the money bag, although the number is small, but the nominal income and expenditure of the town need to be participated in by this family.
The latter is even more remarkable, dating back to the first generation of Morado.
Regulating land and supplies may not seem like a big deal, after all, a small town can have something, but don't forget the important point, the land of the yeoman farmer, and even the transaction and distribution of the land of the nobles themselves, need to be approved by this person, which is enough to make people pay attention.
"Don't want money? Then I'll go......" Arthur thought it was not good, this was obviously someone who was making a buckle himself, I don't know if it was Mayor Flick, or those people on the stage?
It's not good to slip away first, Arthur is about to pull out his feet and leave this place, but how can the plotters let himself go so easily?
A blue magic light, Arthur's scalp was numb, damn this is the protective spell water curtain wall, one of the spells used to defend against random arrows on the battlefield, and it is the specialty of water mages.
"No chanting? Looks like the little guy is in trouble. The half-goblin upstairs saw everything in his eyes, restraining the succubus who was eager to jump downstairs to his seat with one hand, while observing the changes in the venue.
"Hey! Do you have something to say, are you planning to fight? Tell you that my master is very powerful, do you want to be unrepentant and torture to death, do you believe it? Arthur jerked his head back, and suddenly shouted loudly, as if he had some confidence in his heart, and yelled at a group of A-class professionals.
Du Sen smiled and put away the water curtain, but the blue magic stone on the staff still faintly shone with magic light, obviously not taking Arthur's words to heart, and was always ready to make the next magic.
"Don't get me wrong, the Flame Loser isn't trying to attack anyone, everyone don't get impatient, but the next thing is really related to Mario, and he really can't leave now." Canon looked at the somewhat disgruntled homesteaders and soothed them, but the finger was still aimed at Arthur.
Homesteaders had freedom in the kingdom, and were almost no different from the nobility in the area where they were led by nobles.
The history of the kingdom is not without some strange things, such as the frontier pioneer nobles are hot-headed, and want to oppress the yeoman farmers to get more etiquette, which leads to dissatisfaction, so that all the yeoman farmers abandon the land and earn other nobles, so that the frontier towns have completely become ghost towns.
In the mouth of the mayor, things became very simple, the Sword of the Sun and Night mercenary group has been in the south for a while, and has not been stationed, after walking a lot of places, they feel that the people of Morado are simple and the climate is pleasant, so they plan to build a training and stationing place here.
After they searched, they found that the mountain behind Arthur's house was in a good environment, so they planned to buy it, but this money was not a small amount for them, so they planned to buy it with work in lieu of pay.
"In the next three years, the expulsion work before the harvest day will be handled by the Sword of the Sun and Night mercenary group, on the other hand, Mario only needs to transfer the ownership of the land in the back mountain, a total of 100 gold coins, which will be repaid in 5 years." The plan is good, it represents a large amount of money coming into the account, and it seems to be beneficial to both parties, which is a good thing to see.
But Arthur had a strange look, he couldn't think of anyone other than his daddy who had so much money to spend it that he would be interested in this land where birds don't.
There are more rocks than dirt, and there are more goblins than hares, this is the best description of that mountain, Arthur has not been on an adventure, and he ran into the mountains with Ade back then.
In the end, he didn't find anything of note, except wood and stone, wood and stone, this thing Morado was not lacking anywhere, so it had no value at all.
Yes, there is such land everywhere, Arthur knows it all too well, why spend 100 gold coins to buy it from himself? Is it really stupid?
"Impossible, how can a group of A-level professionals be fools, if you really want to treat them as the big wrong, you will be the biggest fool." Arthur thought to himself and made a decision.
There was silence in the hall at this time, even the ancestors of the homesteaders had been rich, but it took time to digest the figure of 100 gold coins.
If this money is used to buy their current land, they may need to hesitate, but it is just the ownership of a barren mountain? How can you not be impressed?
Uncle Vinnock hesitated on the side, after all, this is Arthur's family's land, and he doesn't know how to decide, he looked at Arthur, but found that Arthur's face was calm, not flustered and excited, and his heart was relieved.
Arthur's gaze looked around, and he casually glanced upwards again, revealing eight large teeth, and he seemed to be very satisfied.
"Did Mr. Mario agree, I think we could raise a glass to ......" Frick already smiled, trying to finalize the decision that would be beneficial to the town and not harmful.
But he didn't expect that things were not as simple as he thought
