Chapter 104: Arrest

Since seeing the players' yearning for Gaia in the game, the leader of the Jianyi Guild has been a little unable to sit still.

Building a house is definitely not as profitable as building bridges and paving roads, those aristocratic lords really don't know how to count money, and when those ordinary people can afford to drink milk, the income from the ranch will be more.

In the same way, when the poor began to have income, they could sell more bread.

It's a pity that the nobles didn't understand, and seeing the increase in taxes, Verne took three more concubines, and within a short time, one of them was already pregnant.

Because the players recruited a large number of laborers, more and more residents were willing to go out of the city to work, and Verne had to have a headache for this.

The construction of the mine has already sent away 100,000 laborers, these people are all young and strong, and they can be cannon fodder for a long time in the north, if it were not for the high profits of the mine, Verne would not have sent so many people away.

I thought that mining was hard work, and the residents of the city should be very repulsed.

But now the loss of inhabitants in the city is quite serious, and the taxes can only be collected from the brave men who come from the south, and these brave men usually have nothing of value.

This distressed Verne.

"Baron, this is this month's tax." Palmer seemed to be a little fatter than before, and when he saw the baron, he immediately showed off his achievements.

The original border town where birds don't poop now has a tax of 10,000 gold coins.

"Why so little?" Verne raised an eyebrow, "I remember that the tariff on entering the city should be the highest." ”

"Oh dear, Lord Baron. Why don't you listen to how much tax the guards in the city receive? ”

Verne closed the accounts, "By the way, what's going on at the mines?" ”

"The brave men said that they were already mining, and in ten days they could transport 300 tons of pure iron ore." Palmer held out his finger at the same time, "Approximate price." ”

Verne nodded with satisfaction, although the tax was not satisfactory, but he really did not lose money in the mineral business.

"Oh, by the way, what about the butler?" Verne looked up and beckoned to the butler, "Although the mine makes a lot of money, don't forget our farm. ”

"Yes, sir, I have ordered that your farm must be taken care of." The key is to keep your head down.

The maids brought refreshments, and the concubines gathered around Baron Verne, and Palmer made an excuse and left the castle.

Seeing Palmer leave, the maid Lin felt a chill in her back.

Her village was the closest to the farmstead in Verne, because it was in the south, and the harvest of the farmstead had always been the most important income for the Baron de Verne.

In the past, people in the village went to work on the farms so that they could gather enough food for the whole village.

Since the brave man began to recruit laborers, his brother went to the mines in Red Ridge Mountain, fortunately he was lucky, the mines had a lot of income, and three days ago his brother dragged the player to give him a full thirty gold coins!

That's not a small amount!

And he also said that in a few days he would take himself and his parents to Chiji Mountain, where the income was good, and he could open a small restaurant there to feed the workers......

But if Baron Verne didn't let them go, he would have to work in this filthy castle, and be careful of being used as a plaything by the nobles at all times.

"Did you hear that? The city of Verne began to restrict going out. ”

"The sturdy hunters have been sent to the farms, the promised family holidays are gone, and the woman next door has just given birth, and the children have not yet been able to see their father."

"Baron Verne has gone too far, we didn't have enough to eat in the past, but now we finally have a chance to eat enough......"

"I've heard that people will be forced to work for him, and the salary paid is less than one-tenth of the mine, and there is no rest!"

Qi Ji heard these gossips and hooked the corners of his mouth.

He was eager to see what would happen if the game's magnates changed.

He had previously predicted that the Marquis of Brown would drive Verne out of the castle.

What if Verne is now overthrown by these good ordinary people?

Thinking of this, Qi Ji couldn't help but open the forum.

Although he was slapped in the face again and again, he still wanted to predict that this is the plot of the game, and players should pay attention to it.

The affairs of the imperial court are too far away from here, and the stability of Verne is more important.

But he was quickly drawn to another post.

Landlord [Negative Positive]: I was taken away by Baron Verne, and they asked me to work as a laborer to cultivate the farm......

Today I was going to sell some pearls in the city, but before I could sell them, I was arrested because I had a blonde face, and they were going to let me go farming!

1st Floor [Single Solo]: Don't mention it, I paid a gold coin to let me go, and I had to go to Verne to herd cattle.

Third floor [Did you see my little bear]: Upstairs, you guys are pretty good, you caught me today and asked me to be a maid, and I beat the other party to relieve my anger.

Almost all players have encountered this kind of thing.

Verne is rich now, and with money, it's a little inflated.

In this place where the emperor is far away, he is the emperor and the king here.

Players can say that most of them have a deposit, and they can make a lot of money by bringing something to Verne and selling it.

And those poor people are different, except for those who can afford to pay protection money, all those who cannot pay protection money are arrested by Baron Verne.

As if that weren't enough, Marquis Brown arrived again, this time to convince Verne that he wanted the people of Moonshine to trade and eat a portion of the mine's shares.

It would be better if he could encroach on Verne's part, Brown smiled at the corner of his mouth, of course, he could not contribute a little manpower, and the absenteeism of mining could only come from Verne.

This can greatly reduce Verne's strength, Marquis Brown doesn't care about expanding his territory in his city, the Verne family has been sitting in this position for too long, and it is time to change people.

"And another person? Do you want a stake in the mine? Verne smiled at the corner of his mouth, but he was scolding the street in his heart.

Although he was a baron, it stands to reason that he should be a very powerful nobleman.

But his position is a border pass in a remote corner, how can there be so many people?

"I don't want much, but it's only one percent, your ore must be sold, if you want to transport it to the north, you have to pass through my city, do you want to pay taxes to Vane?"

"That's certainly not, you're mistaken." Sweat broke out on Verne's forehead, and he thought of a way that he would never pay for it, so why not let the brave men in the far south share it?
