In addition to the middle part of "Journey to the West", there are three medium-length legendary novels. The three middle and long parts were only written in the upper part, and the middle and lower parts could not be completed because of lack of time. However, Sean's purpose is to give the noble children of Zilan City more choices, and at the same time, there are more pits waiting for them.

After reading these three medium-length legendary novels, the starting point library is more stable in Zilan City. There is a group of aristocratic young masters waiting for the update to take care of it, and it is strange that something can happen to the starting point library.

"Lord Lord, these are ......" Jeff took the thick stack of books, the boss with his mouth open.

Sean nodded, "Give these to Panis, which contains the letter I wrote to Panis." ”

There was nothing in the letter, after all, Sean was about to go to Violet Orchid City. It's just that I haven't seen Panis for a long time, and I'm tired of writing letters. Otherwise, if Panis doesn't say anything, there will definitely be disappointment.

Zhijeff took the book, and Sean instructed again, "Don't tell Panis about the knight's collar when you go back, there is nothing wrong with me, and tell her to tell her to worry about it." ”

Zhijeff came to the knight's manor and went straight to the knight's manor, but the knight's manor was now empty. Although he is simple, he is not really stupid, and he only knows what happened to the knight leader when he asks people, and he knows where Sean is now. Sean was worried that he would go back and tell Panis about the attack on the manor, and Panis would be frightened because he didn't know what was going on.

"Got it, lord. Jeff nodded heavily, and he had a better impression of Sean.

The starting point library of Zilan City was relatively busy, and Jeff did not stay long, so he returned to Zilan City on the same day.

It was already noon when Jeff left, and at night he was able to rush to the midpoint between the knight and Zilan City to rest for a night, and then he could return to Zilan City the next day.

After Zygeev left, Sean asked the guards to bring Maxwell to him, and at the same time called the two squad leaders of the knights to lead the guard.

The two squad leaders were the best performers and the strongest of the twenty fighters of the Guard.

One of them was a stout man of twenty-three years old, with dark skin and a bare head. His name is Bennett, and he is the big man who lifted a 120-pound boulder when he joined the team for the assessment.

The other squad leader was a lean young man, only eighteen years old, and also a big bald head. Sean had all the guards shave their hair so they looked sharp.

This lean young man was called Oswald, and he was an admirer of Sean.

He was smaller, but only slightly less powerful than Bennett, and stronger than the other eighteen Guardsmen. It is precisely in this way that he can sit in the position of squad leader.

The two were called by Sean and stood honestly.

Soon Maxwell was called, and the errand runner saw Bennett and Osveld here, and there was a hint of envy on his face. He also wanted to participate in the 'meeting' of the territory, but unfortunately he was not the squad leader.

Maxwell still has the posture of a good old man, but if you look closely, you can see that he has a greasy and slippery head that belongs to the grassroots affairs officer.

"Lord Lord, I don't know how to call my subordinates, but what are your orders?" Maxwell panicked when he saw Bennett and Osvid. He was the affairs officer of Beecher Town, and he knew a little about the situation of the newly formed knight guard, and knew that these two were the two squad leaders of the guard.

Seeing Maxwell's expression, Sean waved his hand for Maxwell to sit down, and then said, "Your Excellency, tell me about the situation in Beecher Town, including everyone's source of income and the tax situation in Beecher Town. ”

Hearing Sean's inquiry, Maxwell had a lot of speculation in his mind, but he still replied cautiously, "My lord, the town of Beecher is located on the edge of the Star Field, only seven or eight miles away from the beach. In addition to planting some wheat, rice, fruit trees and vegetables, the townspeople also went into the mountains and swamps to hunt, went to the beach to collect shells, and if they were lucky, they could even catch two sea fish......

The life of the inhabitants of Beecher Town is not very good. Because of the salinization of the land, there is very little land that can grow crops, and the yield is even smaller. They need to hunt and collect shells to make ends meet. However, fortunately, there are abundant products here, and there are no cases of starvation death.

Some animal skins from hunting and some beautiful shells found on the beach can also be sold to merchants for a small payment. The largest tax in Beecher Town, apart from the poll tax of one copper coin per month per household, is the commercial tax.

Combined, the two taxes can contribute three or four silver coins a month to Beecher Town. The poll tax is stable at a level close to three silver coins, and the commercial tax does not fluctuate much, at most one silver coin a month.

This adds up to more than forty silver coins in a year in the town of Beecher Town. The income of the small town to the west was even less, and the tax was more than thirty silver coins a year, and the two towns together were the annual tax of the knights—about eighty silver coins.

"Miserable!"

"One poor and two white!"

Sean couldn't help but shake his head.

I knew that the knight was poor, but I didn't know until now that the knight was so poor. The knights and lords have little money left over. It's nice to be able to eat well. The tax of eighty silver coins a year is only one defective magic crystal, so you can imagine how big the gap between the rich and the poor in this world is.

"Is there any way to get rich?"

Sean pinched his eyebrows and bowed his head in contemplation. Maxwell, Bennett, and Osvid did not dare to disturb and waited quietly. Among them, Maxwell was the most worried, for fear that Sean would be unhappy and find him trouble. After all, he handles taxes, and all kinds of dirt are naturally indispensable in it.

If Sean broke with him, he really didn't dare to say that he would retreat.

That's not what Sean was thinking.

In total, the annual tax of eighty silver coins was apportioned to the town of Beecher with only forty silver coins. Even if Maxwell's embezzlement is counted, can it reach one gold coin a year?

No way!

Beecher Town, or the entire Knights' Domain, is too poor. Even if Maxwell wanted to embezzle more, there was nothing he could do. Because the basic tax of more than forty silver coins still has to be handed over every year, and these tax knights are also clear, he can be corrupt and have little room for activities.

Sean is not going to pursue Maxwell for the time being, he is thinking now about how to make the knights rich. Only when the knight is rich can his taxes increase, and at the same time it will be more advantageous to attract the population to settle here. In this world, wealth and population are equally important.

"I watched so much news in my previous life, why can't I think of someone who is suitable for a knight's collar. Sean was a little distressed.

In his previous life, he hadn't written much of a 'farming stream' novel, so much so that Sean couldn't find a way to quickly make the knight leader rich for a while.

"Burning cement, firing glass, steelmaking, papermaking, printing, gunpowder, firearms...... Oh my God, there are so many ways to make a fortune, why can't I know any of them?!"

Sean has never regretted it so much as he does now-

"If only I hadn't written the fantasy upgrade stream, but the historical farming stream......

Of course, to say that this is an afterthought.

If Sean can't do any of these techniques, then there will be a lot fewer ways to get rich.

Sean looked up helplessly and looked out of the house. The hall of the manor faces the swampy jungle, and the towering trees are high in the clouds. Wood is everywhere and is rarely used, so the trees grow very tall.

"If I were a monkey with seventy-two changes, I would turn these big trees into tree people, and let me go to the sea to fish and mine in the mountains!" Sean muttered.

Suddenly, Sean froze.

"Big Tree...... Sun Monkey ......" The aura in Sean's mind was like a bursting sun, and it exploded in an instant, "Haha, there is!"

Sean slapped his thigh hard, and quickly examined the feasibility of the rough idea in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more reliable he felt.

Stood up suddenly.

"Lord Lord......" Maxwell and the three were frightened by Sean's movements.

Sean waved his hand, pointed at Maxwell, and said loudly, "Your Excellency, immediately post me an announcement to tell the residents of Beecher Town that the great lord has found them an easy business, which can bring them at least fifty copper coins a month, and let each family send a clever member to gather outside the manor tomorrow morning!"

Seeing that Maxwell, Bennett, and Osveld were a little dumbfounded, Sean added, "Remember, be sure to spread the news to every resident of Beecher Town before it gets dark tonight." Bennett, you can make a trip to Evan Town West for me, tell their Affairs Officer the news, and let the Evan Town Affairs Officer post the announcement as well, but you don't need to come over tomorrow morning, just let the residents of Evan Town know about it. ”

Sean spoke very quickly, turned his head and commanded Osvid, "Osvid, lead the guards to spread the news to me in every corner of Beecher Town!"

Thinking that the knight's predicament would probably have to change because of his whimsical thoughts, and the fact that the poor but optimistic residents of Beecher Town would be able to escape this life of abject poverty, Sean was full of strength.

Beecher Town and Evan Town are the foundation of the Knights' Territory and the development base that Sean has high hopes for. It is located in the middle of nowhere, far from the big cities of the Kingdom of Strach. No one will pay attention here, and it is definitely the best territory for stuffy development. In addition, it is surrounded by mountains and seas, and the limitations of development are very small, and Sean will be able to hide well when he builds a legion in the future.

With the wealth established in such a knightly domain, the people in the territory will be more loyal to Sean, and the physique of the people will get better and better in a rich environment.

"Let's get moving!"

Sean's face was agitated, and he kicked the three out, and then strode out of the manor himself.
