There is a shortage of money everywhere, and with the current financial strength, it is difficult to pay even a daily salary, let alone a war.

Aslan put the report on the table and was silent for a long time before he spoke, "I am going to issue war bonds and sell the things of the City Lord's Mansion. ”

Aslan's words shocked the room.

Experienced old fellows like Gus even thought that Aslan would use war as a reason to impose a war tax, and such things often happened in other territories, and even in some of the main cities of the empire.

The others didn't think about it, they were only in charge of the war, and the logistics didn't care about their business, but when they heard that Aslan was going to take out the things from the City Lord's Mansion and sell them in exchange for war funds, they were all stunned.

"Needless to say, it's decided. After Aslan finished speaking, he asked Thiago to post the announcement.

As soon as the announcement came out, the entire people of Flying Sky City were shocked.

"Is all of the above true?" the old resident of Flying Sky City couldn't help but ask the young nephew next to him who was literate and had participated in reserve training.

Jia Lihua nodded, the training of the reserve in Feitian City is good, there is food and shelter, and there is a retirement pension to get after completing the training, although it is not much, the most critical army also teaches them the most basic literacy, although they don't know much, but they can still write daily.

Gali is indeed an excellent soldier, but unfortunately he is too young, not yet eighteen years old, although he has awakened his fighting spirit, he still can't become a professional soldier, even the soldiers of the construction corps are not allowed.

It is said that this is a rule of the lord of the castle, and those under the age of eighteen can participate in reserve training, but they are absolutely not allowed to become professional soldiers.

"That's right, the annual orc invasion and plunder has started again, this year is more serious than in previous years, many towns have fallen, a lot of people have been displaced, Flying City is ready to accept the refugees in distress and crusade against the murderous refugees on a large scale, but the construction of the city and a series of wars have completely dragged down the finances of the Flying City, and the city lord decided to take out the things in his city lord's mansion for auction to earn war funds and ease the financial constraints. Afterburner clenched his fists and stared at the bulletin board.

After seeing this announcement, those out-of-town mobile merchants who had entered Feitian City turned around and went back to prepare funds.

Everyone knows that the city lord of Flying Sky City is a magician, and there is a large group of dwarven craftsmen in his hands, and there will definitely be no shortage of good things in the city lord's mansion.

Many of the people of Flying City were silent, and suddenly an old man grabbed his cane and slammed it at his son next to him.

"Bastard, what are you doing, you still dare to ask for the things in the city lord's house, if there is no city lord, where do you live now, what do you eat, and where is your business from? ”

The old man cursed as he struck his son on the head with his cane.

The middle-aged man in a gorgeous costume did not dare to fight back, let alone block, for fear of accidentally letting his father fall.

"No, father, if there is no city lord, there would be no family of ours, how can I do such a thing, I just contact those friends in the business of Flying Sky City, let them rush back as soon as possible, we are going to jointly donate a batch of funds to the city lord, if there is no city lord, maybe our family does not know where to be slaves now." ”

The middle-aged man was a slave before he came to Feitian City, to be precise, the family was all slaves, and the family was a slave for generations.

It's just that when the Flying City was rebuilt, the city lord of Aslan encouraged the people to build, and the slaves were no exception, as long as they performed well, they were allowed to upgrade from slaves to the people of the Flying City, in fact, in the Flying City, more than half of the population was originally slaves.

It is precisely because they were born as slaves that they know more about rarity, so they will take the initiative to maintain this rare day.

When the old man heard his son's words, he was angry.

After listening to the conversation between the old man and his son, the other people turned around and went home.

When the auction table at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion had just been built, it was surrounded by the people of Flying Sky City.

Aslan came to the stage to express his gratitude, and was about to push out the auction when a gray-haired old woman walked out, put down the money bag in her hand, and turned to leave.

Aslan picked up the money bag and saw that there was only one gold coin and more than two dozen silver coins inside, and even all of them were copper coins.

He was stunned all over, looking at the back of his grandmother in the distance, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

The people of Flying Sky City also began to follow suit, put down the money bags they brought from home, and prepared to turn around and leave.

If the money taken out of the homes of the people is accepted like this, is it necessary for Aslan to hold an auction?

His eyes were originally fixed on the itinerant merchants who had entered the Flying City, saying that they were home goods, but in fact they were just some luxury goods such as perfumes and high-quality weapons created by dwarven masters.

"Stop me from entering the square, and not a single one will be released. Aslan put the money bag back in his hand, drew the sword from his waist and shouted.

Although the soldiers of the infantry battalion who maintained the scene did not understand the meaning of Aslan's actions, they still took the initiative to surround the square and politely stopped the people who were going to leave.

"Your kindness, I, Aslan Sarah, understand that financial constraints cannot happen only once, and it is likely to happen in the future, do I rely on your donations every time to tide over the difficulties, so what do I need to do as the city lord? What is the effect of my efforts all along?" Aslan shouted loudly.

"The duty of a soldier is to protect the interests of the territory and the people from being violated, and the duty of the lord of the city is to ensure that the people in the territory can live a rich and happy life. Aslan shouted angrily, pointing to the money bag in front of him.

The people of Flying Sky City looked at Aslan with red eyes.

They all know the duties of soldiers, and because of this, Feitian City has never worried about not being able to recruit soldiers, and every time they are recruited, a large number of young and strong men are eager to sign up, because they know why they joined the army and why they died.

Now that they also understood the duty of the city lord, their hearts were indescribably excited.

That's right, the lord of the castle has always worked hard to make all the people of Flying City live a prosperous and happy life, and Flying City has not seen a starving person for many years, not even a beggar.

Today, everyone in Feitian City has food to eat, beautiful clothes to wear, and even many of their wealthy families send their children to study and write.

All of this was given by the city lord in front of him, no, he worked hard to get it.

"I am here to announce that the City Lord's Mansion will issue war bonds, and everyone will get your money back, if you really have the heart to support Feitian City, please take your identity certificate of Feitian City residents tomorrow morning and go to the administrative hall to buy war bonds, the war bonds will be exchanged at the same price of gold coins, and at the same time, they will be recorded, and when the treasury has money, all the war bonds issued will be recovered at a price of 1 to 1.1. ”

After listening to Aslan's words, the eyes of Gus and the others suddenly lit up, and many foreign businessmen were very surprised, even shocked.

They had never seen a lord like Aslan Sarah.

In the past, the lord was not eager to scrape the people in the territory, so the bones on his body were scraped clean, and all kinds of strange taxes emerged in an endless stream.
