After two days of traveling, Xiao Wen and his party finally arrived at Senmu Town, which belonged to Xiao Wen's own territory, and Xiao Wen and his party arrived at Senmu Town in the evening at dusk.

And the militiamen guarding the town gate of Senmu Town are also lazily leaning on the town gate or the city wall in the evening dusk when the evening is coming.

Until Xiao Wen and his arrival, the militia guarding the town gate also leaned in to watch after hearing the sound of horses' hooves coming from outside.

After seeing a group of cavalry coming, the militiamen guarding the town gate of Senmu Town were frightened, and they hurriedly closed the town gate one by one, some of them ran to the town to inform the mayor, the garrison officer and others, and some climbed the low city wall, holding improvised weapons in their hands, nervously watching the carriage of Xiao Wen and others outside the town, and the cavalry squadron protecting Xiao Wen.

"Young master, we're at the territory!", the butler Kader said to Chauvin in the car.

Hearing the words of the butler Card, Chauvin got up and pushed the door open, and stepped out of the carriage.

"Is it finally here?" asked Chauvin as he moved his uncomfortable body!

Although Xiao Wen was a knight of the first rank of the earth, staying in the carriage for several days in a row still made Xiao Wen feel very uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

"Yes, young master, the front is your territory, Senmu Town!", the butler Kade hurriedly replied to Xiao Wen after hearing Xiao Wen's question.

"Really, they don't look very welcoming to us?", Chauvin said to the butler Cader, looking at the closed gates of the town.

"Young master, they are a little nervous", "After all, the Dongjun Commander is not very safe, they should have seen the cavalry squadron and treated us as chaotic soldiers."

"Rest assured, Squadron Leader Sranka has sent someone to call them to explain, tell them that their lord has arrived, tell them not to be nervous, and at the same time let the mayor and garrison of the town come to meet you."

But looking at the militiamen on the city wall, armed with improvised weapons, wearing shabby leather armor, and looking anxious and frightened, Xiao Wen was a little annoyed, can these people protect the safety of themselves and their territory in the war that is about to break out?

Obviously can't, I really don't know what the current mayor and garrison officer of Senmu Town do.

At this moment, Xiao Wen saw the gate of the town open, and a group of people came towards him.

I saw that the group of people was approaching Xiao Wen and their team, and stopped.

Then one of them was an old man with gray hair, who looked very shrewd, and who was dressed in splendid costumes.

Walk out of the line and shout, "Greetings, which one is the new lord, and the villain is the current mayor of Moriki Town, Olaf."

At this time, the butler Kade drove forward and pointed at Xiao Wen and shouted:

This is: "Duchy of Emma, son of the Marquis of Ellene, new baron lord of Senmu, Chauvin: Cassadine".

At the same time, when Xiao Wen heard this, he also got out of the carriage, and walked out of the protective circle of Slanka, and came to the mayor of the town, Olaf, and said: "I am the new lord of Senmu Town, your future master, Xiao Wen: Cassadine, from today onwards, I will use the power given to me by His Majesty the great Grand Duke of our Principality of Emma, Emma IX, to control your life and death, and at the same time, I will fulfill my lord's obligations to give you protection and arbitrate disputes between you!"

Then Xiao Wen motioned to the butler Kad to take out the magic scroll given to him by the Principality Noble Council, opened it in front of the villagers, and activated the magic mark on it, and the magic mark flashed in front of Xiao Wen to form a dragon knight figure riding a dragon and a green wolf figure, they represent the royal family of the Duchy of Emma and the Cassadine family respectively.

"Note: The magic sigil on the letter of appointment has been specially handled by the House of Nobles.

After seeing the magic mark, the mayor of Olaf and the residents of Senmu Town behind him all accepted the fact that Xiao Wen was the lord with a calm attitude, and of course, many people bowed their heads and discussed together.

Xiao Wen said to Olaf: "Olaf, you are the village chief, so who are the garrison officers and tax collectors, you let them come out to see me."

"Back to my lord!, this is the town's garrison officer," Olaf said, pointing to a stout man in his forties, wearing leather armor and holding a sword in his hand.

And the garrison officer Devi, after hearing the introduction of the town mayor Olaf, also walked out of the crowd and saluted Xiao Wen, and then said, "Senmu Town garrison officer Devi has the highest respect to you, Lord Lord."

"Very good Dewei garrison officer, please tell me how many people there are in the garrison of Senmu Town, and how is the equipment, Xiao Wen asked."

"Lord Hui, our Senmu Town garrison has a total of two squadrons of soldiers, each squadron has 120 people, and the two squadrons have a total of 240 soldiers, and there are no cavalry all infantry, Devi said after looking at the cavalry squadron behind Xiao Wen!".

"As for the equipment, most of them are leather armor, bows and arrows, long cocoons, one-handed swords, etc!!。

"Okay, I see!", Devi, the one next to me who came to the territory with me, Cavalry Squadron Leader Sranka.

At the same time, I also hope that you can cooperate well in the future and jointly protect the safety of me and the people of the territory, Xiao Wen said: Devi and Slankadao.

"It's my lord, we'll definitely work together," Slanka and Devi replied at the same time.

Well, that's good! After that, the territory army will be three squadrons, Slanka will continue to lead the cavalry squadron, and Devi's position will remain unchanged for the time being.

At the same time, Devi, you also have to strengthen the training of the original two infantry squadrons, and when it comes to money, food, and equipment, you can rest assured that I will provide it. Xiao Wendao.

"Please rest assured, Lord Lord, I will definitely train them well", Devi quickly replied to Xiao Wen.

"Well, then who is the tax officer, please stand up and tell me, how the tax situation is in my territory". Chauvin asked.

"Lord Lord!, the villain is the tax collector of Senmu Town", said a middle-aged man in his forties with expensive magic glasses and meticulously combed hair, who was also gorgeously dressed, and saluted Xiao Wen as he spoke.

"What's your name". Chauvin asked

！

"Lord Hui, the villain is called, Fashan Xing".

"Well, Tax Collector Fashanxing, I would like you to give me a general introduction to the tax situation in this town!".

shawn says:

"Yes, Lord Lord, as your only territory, there are 3,654 people, of which 3,520 people are not required to pay taxes, and 3,520 people should pay 2 silver coins per year for a poll tax, a total of 7,040 silver coins, which are 704 gold coins."

"For example, the harvest tax is payable to each person every year for one silver coin and five copper coins, for a total of 5,280 silver coins, which are converted into gold coins and 528 gold coins."

In addition, commercial taxes such as those prescribed by each lord are different for the time being, so they cannot be calculated for the time being.

Tax officer Fa Shanxing said to Xiao Wen.

So, in addition to the commercial tax, the tax I can collect every year is 1232 gold coins. Chauvin asked.

Yes, my lord, because the commercial tax is the big income of the territory, and the commercial tax set by the previous lord is 10 taxes 4.

10 tax 4, the commercial tax is very high, so in the future, the commercial tax of our territory will be changed to 10 tax 3.

I hope that the low commercial tax will attract a large number of merchant groups, which will bring good development to the territory and improve the quality of life and living environment of the townspeople.
