"It's not fair," Lance stood up from his seat, he looked very excited, the mustache on the corner of his mouth twitched, "It's impossible for the people of Big Wood Town to take advantage of Ash Furnace Village, think about how they did to us before?"

The old man from Ashfurnace Village nodded, "These scum don't even allow us to use the docks and mills, and we can't even give money. ”

"Yes, let those hillbillies taste it! Keep them out of the Grey Furnace Valley and salivate at the fat salmon. ”

"Hehe, salmon migration is a gift from the Father, and no one can enjoy it alone. Fork had a different opinion, and in his opinion, it was shameless to find a salmon migrating and want to eat it alone, and such a person should not be a fisherman, and let him stay on land for the rest of his life. As a fisherman, you should share the fish and work together to have a better harvest.

"Well, who can eat all the salmon that there is!" said a fisherman.

Fork is the leader of the fishermen, and soon his words were echoed by many fishermen, and this idea has something to do with their experience at sea, and in their opinion, whether it is a disaster or a harvest, everyone should share it, and only in this way can they live a long time.

"Think about how those guys in Big Wood used to treat us, and now they want to take advantage of us. There are no doors!"

This voice was weak in the meeting room of the town hall, because the old people of Ashfurnace Castle Ashfurnace Village had become a minority, and the population of Ronin and Fisherman was much larger than that of Ashfurnace Village. The essence of politics is a balance, balancing the needs of all parties, and it is impossible for Merlin to ignore the feelings of the people of Ashfurnace Village, after all, they are the only ones who are most familiar with the entire Ashfurnace Valley.

"Beautiful Miss Sula, what do you think of this question!" The butler of Ashhearth has recently become obsessed with swimming, and except for the time spent every morning on government affairs, she spends almost the afternoon in the underground swimming room, but unfortunately, Sulla's talent is really not very good, and she has not even learned how to plan.

"I agree with the fork because that's the opinion of the majority!" said Sula.

Merlin stood up from his position and said to everyone, "This is the town hall of Ashhearth, and everyone will sit together to discuss a matter, but it is up to me to decide what to do in the end, and there is no majority here. ”

The town hall became silent at all, and Merlin smiled, "If one side has more people and which side is right, then the truth is in the butcher's hands." ”

It was a meeting destined to go down in history, and the contents of which were not of much concern, but the situation of this meeting soon turned the republican system of elders in Rome upside down. Of course, that's a story for later.

"I know there will be people who will find it unfair," Merlin continued, "but I don't want anyone to hold a grudge for this so-called fairness." ”

Merlin stepped out of his position and walked in front of Lance, "Ashfurnace will issue fishing licenses to the villagers of Damu Town, and they can only obtain this fishing license after paying a certain price, and how to issue the fishing license will be left to you to deal with." Merlin looked at the red-faced goth in front of him, "I'm sure there's no one better suited for the job than you." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency!" Lance struggled to stand up straight.

The Goths' worship of the Roman way of life was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Merlin's exact opposite approach surprised Old Bill. However, he did not make his own comments at the meeting, and he was ready to talk about it at a suitable occasion. In his opinion, Merlin's behavior was no different from that of a tyrant. He is ignoring the power of the masses.

"That's the end of the matter in Damu Town, let's discuss this fishing license now, what do you think the villagers of Damu Town have to exchange for this fishing license?" Merlin returned to the edge of his seat, not meaning to sit down.

At this time, everyone had not yet recovered from Merlin's words just now, and no one spoke for a while.

"What do you think of each person receiving an Amethyst coin?" Merlin smiled.

"Those hillbillies don't have an amethyst coin, and if they had this money, they wouldn't have gone to the Ashfurnace Valley to take advantage of it. Drogba muttered.

"Very well, handsome knight, you are right, and it makes no sense if we offer conditions for exchanging fishing licenses that others can't do. We want conditions that they can all meet. ”

"A silver coin, how about a silver coin?" someone said.

"Believe me, none of those hillbillies will hand it over. "Those misers go out with dry bread, and you can inquire about what the mayor's son is still at the bar, what will he say about those damned hillbillies." ”

"Yes, I've heard Alan say many times that the people of Big Wood always go out with dry bread, and they never bring money. Rommel said.

Alan is the son of the mayor of Big Wood Town, and he hasn't been back since the fisherman's bar opened. He stayed in Ashfurnace all the time, relying on his small fishing skills, and when he had no money to spend, he went to work on a forked fishing boat for a few days. In his words, the current Ashfurnace Castle is like a paradise, and only a fool would want to go back.

Because of having such a son, the mayor of Oki Town didn't even attend the inauguration ceremony of the Light of Truth last time, maybe he felt too embarrassed. Anyway, there were more and more young people like him hanging out in Ashhearth.

"So what do you think, or what price do you think the people of Big Wood can pay?"

There were whispers around the round table, and that was what Merlin wanted.

"You can exchange fish for fishing licenses," Sulla said, "and the creek in Ashfurnace Valley is full of salmon anyway, so would it be okay for them to exchange fish for fishing licenses?"

"Sister, really, they don't have fishing licenses, how can they come to the Ash Furnace Valley, if they can't get to the valley, they can't catch fish. Raj said.

"Okay, you dare to say that mine is not. See that I don't scratch you. Sura stood up and held out her hand to Raj next door. The two of them giggled and laughed, completely ignoring Merlin's black lines.

"I had a proposal to skin the salmon when they left, and the skin would be in exchange for a fishing license. ”

"Fish skin?"

"Yes, the skin of salmon can be used to make clothes, and it can also be used to sew bags. Leah said.

"Okay, just ask for the fish skin. ”

Since then, the Valley of the Ashfurnace has become a Skinning Lord, which Merlin did not expect.
