Chapter 14 Plans

The days have been a bit dull lately, after returning from Maple Leaf Town, Brian has lived a leisurely life of eating, sleeping, and listening to reports for a while, and the town has not seen much movement, but has been steadily changing, developing towards the goal expected by Lord Viscount.

Sharon, the owner of "Poisoned Wine", initially didn't believe in Brian's "prophecy", he didn't know this so-called viscount, and felt that his purpose was just to scare others and buy a batch of women at a low price. Sharon has been opening a nightclub in Maple Town for more than ten years, although the mayor of Marlow is dark enough and does not earn much, but he is still more generous than ordinary people, and a stranger came over and said that the taxes in the town will skyrocket several times, and the business will not be able to sustain at all, but it is alarmist.

However, it soon turned out that the Viscount's prophecy was correct, and Maple Leaf Town was preparing to build a temple, and the new assistant priest announced a new tax system, and his meaning was obvious, for the sake of the goddess, everyone could skip eating. Of course, Sharloin had to eat, and he had to eat well, with wine and meat at every meal, so he immediately decided to move his family and shop to Toby, because Brian told him that it would be worse in the future.

Toby Town has its first decent entertainment center, of course, it can't be called "poisoned wine" anymore, the hobbies of the men in the town are relatively normal, and the end result of wild service may be a fight, and neither mercenaries nor workers can accept a woman whipping themselves, they will 100% fight back. So the nightclub was renamed "Crossing the Threshold is Heaven", referred to as "Heaven's Gate", and within two days Sharon found that his choice was very wise, Heaven's Gate was more popular than the poisoned liquor business, and the taxes in the town were reasonable, and he began to admire and appreciate the Viscount.

However, the goblin Rami is no longer a sought-after commodity, no one patronizes her body, the bustard's mother tried to recommend it to the guests a few times, and almost drowned in the spit, the reason is very simple, who the spends money to make herself disgusting? Rami can't stay in the nightclub, Brian has to take her in, Rami used to be a goblin wizard's assistant, knows how to prepare potions, and can just help the vice president, Salina's wine workshop and spice shop are all in intense preparations.

After all these years of hard work, Salina's communication with the barbarians had made great progress, and the women and children began to dress and eat cooked food, and their temperament became more gentle, and they no longer seemed dangerous, and Salina even let them out of their cages every day and go to the open space of the Viscount's Palace, where they basked in the sun for two hours and did a little rough work.

Brian had spent most of his time in bed when he returned, and Salina had already learned the habits of men, and if he needed to think for a long time, he would choose not to go out or get up, and lie quietly for a day or two, and when he came to the ground to stretch out, there would definitely be many new ideas.

Brian felt that he had to make some more comprehensive and far-reaching plans, because Maple Leaf Town was also his own fiefdom, and it was bound to have a lot to do with Toby Town. Brian is not angry with Marlowe for their actions, but there is no good way for the time being, he has no foundation in Maple Leaf Town, and this matter cannot be forced, even if he forcibly assigns tasks in the name of the bishop or the viscount, Butler's old fox will use various means to make him nowhere to do.

Butler made the viscount feel pricked, and he lay on the bed and thought angrily, like now he has two wives, but unfortunately the most beautiful little wife is only a husband and wife with him, but his ass is touched by others every day, which is really fucking (fucking) very unpleasant. Brian suddenly jumped off the bed, crackled his knuckles, and said, "I'll put up with it first, but one day I'll make you two bastards understand that it's not a good habit to touch other people's wives' butts!"

"Salina, Salina, come here. Brian shouted.

"You're up, my lord?" Salina walked into the room, her face and neck covered in brown "plasters" that looked like earth elementals, startling Brian.

"Did you just roll in the mud?" asked Brian.

"Who has that leisure? This is called skin care ointment, Lamy taught me, tried it on the back of my hand once, the effect is very good, honey, cow bone marrow and snow core grass ash grinding, can keep the skin tender for a long time. Salina explained.

"Don't forget, they're green-skinned, and I can't experience what you're going to do with that tenderness. Brian said, "Go get a notebook and make some notes." ”

Salina knew that Brian had something to do, so she didn't quarrel with him anymore, obediently took the pen and notebook, and waited for the viscount's arrangement.

"First, Maple Town is haunted. Brian shook his head helplessly, "Once the taxes and fees are greatly adjusted, it will definitely be the anger of the people, and Marlowe and they can only use violent means to suppress their dissatisfaction, and it will become a strictly controlled area, and any decision will inevitably be extreme." In view of this possibility, we can no longer rely on Maple Leaf Town to supply food, in case we can't get help, it is not good to have a famine, notify the owner of the rice shop, Wollaston, and the town will provide him with four more carts, and then trade with the clay pottery city in the southeast, the distance is far and the cost is high, and the Chamber of Commerce will subsidize him, and he is not allowed to raise the price of grain at any time. ”

"We need to build a big granary and increase our reserves to deal with the risk of a poor harvest. Salina suggested.

"Not bad. Second, we should start preparing for the construction of two granaries to ensure that even if we don't get it in a year, we can still have food. Toby has too little land to be self-sufficient, this is very passive, the south has begun to be chaotic, the two popes are about to go to war, and no one will easily sell grain in a war, so from now on the townspeople are encouraged to reclaim land in the Gassen hills, and rewards will be given according to the area of land reclamation, and the purchase price of local grain production will be increased by 20 percent, and the motivation of the people will be aroused with gold coins. ”

"Third," Brian continued, "since there is going to be a war, Lao Tzu also wants to make some war money, but now he is facing two problems, first of all, no one will prospect for minerals, our area is so big, there must be buried metal ore, but prospecting is a technical job, I have inquired in Maple Leaf Town for a long time, and I have not found anyone who is proficient in this matter, it seems that I still have to find the help of the refuge farm." In addition, the farm promised me that they would issue a bounty here, but when Helois returned, there was no news, and I set out in the afternoon to urge them. ”

"There's also the problem, of course, that there aren't enough craftsmen, so you're going to have to fight the dwarves. Salina continued.

"After staying with me for a while, you've become smarter Salina. Returning from Dunbar, I will take a certain number of soldiers with me and go on a long adventure, not only to temper the outlaw squad, but also to find the dwarven craftsmen, but also to explore the burrows in the forest, and finally to send the barbarians home, I hope that these women and children can bring change to the barbarians. Brian said.

"Good!" Sarina was very simple, "Go whatever you want, the old lady in the rear will worry about you and earn enough money, you have to remember to save your life and come back to toss." ”
