After a while, Rosen met the old man who had come to visit him next to the convoy.

They stood in the open space outside the stone wall, surrounded by a ring of guards, and behind the stone wall stood many people watching the excitement.

There are 6 old men, all of them are thin, their faces are full of knife-like wrinkles, but their backs are basically straight, and the humility on their faces is not strong, more vigilant and suspicious.

Their clothes were old and dirty, with a lot of patches, but they were still some way from being ragged.

Compared to the other old and weak townspeople I saw by the ruins yesterday, these old people are quite decent, and they should indeed be some prestigious elders in the town.

Lawson and Shabolai arrived together.

As soon as the two arrived, the old people stood up, and one of the bald old men asked.

"Who is the new lord of Crescent Town?"

"It's me."

Shabol took a step forward, and his voice was not loud.

The bald old man stretched out his hand and asked loudly, "What did you say?"

The old man is behind the ear.

Shabolé roared, "I am the lord!"

Only then did the bald old man hear it clearly, and his face showed a hint of respect.

"Lord Lord, yesterday's announcement said that you will be given one gram of thunder money for a day's work, and you will still be able to eat and live, is it true?"

Lawson was in charge of this, and Shabolai didn't understand, but he was very relieved of Lawson, and felt that one gram's salary was not much.

So, he raised his hand and shouted solemnly: "Old man, I swear by the glory of the Omixia family, and what is said in the recruitment announcement is all true!" ”

Not only because of the ears of the old people, but also because there are many people listening to the back, they simply took the opportunity to do a wave of publicity.

didn't think about it, as soon as his voice fell, an old man who had lost a front tooth and spoke leaky began to sneer.

"Ho ho~~ The previous lord also said the same, and as a result, the whole town died!"

"The previous lord said the same, but he didn't even leave us time to sow and plough the land, and he knew all day long that we would work for his family!"

"Yes, yes, how can the Omihia family have glory at all, they are all liars!"

Another lame old man chimed in.

Shabolai was not happy: "Old man, how can you say that? Aren't you afraid that I'll arrest you and go to jail? ”

The old man with missing front teeth suddenly sneered.

"Come and catch it~ My old man eats the last meal every day, and he can still eat a lot of food in prison, maybe he can live for a few more years."

"Yes, yes, yes~~ What haven't we seen? The set of things of these despicable lords can scare others, but they can't scare us, it's a big deal to die! ”

"This black fat man is not a good person at first glance, such a person is a new lord, and Crescent Town will definitely have no money. Dude, I think we'd better go back. ”

When Shapole said a word, he was immediately scolded back three sentences, and he was speechless.

On the opposite side are old men in their early 60s, who walk tremblingly, and it is estimated that it will be over if you touch it.

How could he really arrest him, it was nothing more than to scare the other party, but these old guys were not afraid at all.

was helpless, and Rosen's slightly smiling voice sounded beside him: "Uncle, let me come." ”

Xia Bolai immediately nodded: "Okay, okay, you come, you come, these old guys are too difficult to handle." ”

He then pointed at Rosen and loudly introduced himself to the old man in front of him.

"Well, this is Mage Lawsen, the mayor of Crescent Town, who was able to shoot so many Digo last night thanks to the mayor's powerful spells. Be careful, he's not as good-natured as I am. ”

The six elders all turned their heads to look at Lawson.

After a few glances, the old man with missing front teeth frowned: "What Mayor Raushzi, isn't this a little doll?" ”

"Look at this age, it's too young to be a grandson for me, and the mayor of the town? Tricksters. ”

"Let's go, this group of people is full of gossip, and Crescent Town definitely doesn't have a head."

A few old men turned around and were about to leave.

Rosen coughed lightly and shouted, "One gram a day, it's true." ”

As he spoke, he took out more than a dozen shiny gold coins and tossed them back and forth in the palm of his hand.

"Old man, as long as you are willing to work, you can manage the money!"

The sunlight shining on the gold coins reflects a moving light, and the crisp sound of the gold coins hitting each other directly cures the deafness of the elderly.

The old man with missing front teeth immediately stopped, his eyes swaying up and down with the gold coin in Lawson's palm.

"Little doll~ Are you really the mayor?"

"That's right."

'Buzz~'

An egg-sized ball of light appeared on the palm of Lawson's left hand, and the ball of light turned into a burning flame again, but it was a small trick flame breath.

The ordinary old man could not tell the strength of the spell, and when he saw that Lawson could actually master the flames, the awe on his face became much thicker, and he believed his words a little more.

But although ordinary people don't know about magic, they know very much about worldly money.

Especially these old people, who have been poor all their lives, have been thinking about making more money all their lives, and they are concerned about every copper.

They can't cheat when it comes to money.

It was still the old man who was missing his front teeth, and he quickly came back to his senses, and the wrinkles on his face outlined a thick look of suspicion.

"Little doll, don't think I'm easy to deceive, old man, I also saw some of the world when I was young, and I also learned arithmetic."

"As you said, one person has one gram a day, and 1,000 is 100 crowns, and 10,000 is 1,000 crowns."

"And that's just the wages, the building wood, the stones, the tools, etc., all cost money. Don't say you can't afford this money, I'm afraid the Earl of Silvermoon Castle can't afford to pay this money! ”

"Yes, yes, we've heard that the new lord is a swinger, and the money is all on the woman, and the pocket is cleaner than the face."

"I think you're trying to trick us into working for nothing!"

Listening to this, Xia Bolai felt that his cheeks were hot, and his heart became more and more empty, and he couldn't help but come to Lawson's side.

"Lawson, aren't we running out of money? How can you pay such a high salary? ”

Rosen smiled comfortingly: "Don't worry, I'm prepared." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Harrick beside Shabolai.

"Uncle, go and bring the cash box out and let everyone open their eyes!"

Not only these old men, but also the eyes of the people of Crescent Town who followed them north, letting everyone know that the recruitment announcement was real.

Money, really enough!

"Okay!"

Harrick trotted to a carriage, and in a few moments, he commanded a team of Silvermoon Ranger and forcefully carried back two heavy wooden crates one meter long and wide.

'Bang Dang~~Bang Dang~'

Two wooden boxes were placed on the open ground, the lid was opened, the sun shone in, one box was yellow and clear, and the other box was bright, which made people panic.

Shabolai glanced at it, and his eyes almost fell.

"How can there be so much money?"

Two large wooden boxes, full of gold coins on the left and silver coins on the right, were too numerous to count, and it was estimated that they had more than 10,000 crowns in cash.

Lawson opened the lid wide and said to the old man with missing front teeth.

"Old man, have you ever seen so much money?"

The old man with missing front teeth couldn't close his mouth, his lips trembled, and saliva continued to flow down from the corners of his mouth.

"A lot of it, a lot. Today is an eye-opener. ”

Looking at the other old men, they are all blind eyes.

Looking at the lively people on the stone wall, as well as the Silver Moon Ranger carrying the money, they were all dizzy.

That's a lot of money!

Rosen reached out and scooped up a handful of yellow, shiny gold coins, and let them slip between his fingers back into the cash drawer.

He said loudly: "This money will be used to build Crescent Town, and this is the first one, and there will be a second and third in the future!" ”

This is no longer the case, now he is the mayor of the town, and he will be the lord of Crescent Town in the future.

Paying the people is not spending money, but injecting liquidity into the Crescent Market to boost productivity.

It doesn't take much, inject 50,000 crowns, and it will be enough for the market to circulate.

With the scope of the farmer's activities in this era, the money ended up in Crescent Town.

When the town is up and the market is perfected, every time this money circulates in the town market, it can stimulate a lot of wealth creation.

And as a lord, he can legally harvest wealth through taxes, stubble by stubble.

This is a lord's biggest sheep herding business!

And with his action, everyone's face showed a happy expression, and they couldn't help but turn their ears to listen to the wonderful sound of metal colliding.

The sound of money is really pleasant!

Rosen smiled at the old man with missing front teeth: "Old man, do you think we won't be able to pay the wages?" ”

"I can afford to pay, but I'm afraid that your words don't count, and you won't pay even if you do your work!"

Rosen gave Shabolai a look, and Shabolai received it.

He was quick enough for a moment to start shouting again.

"As the new lord of Crescent Town, I swear in the name of the Golden God that if I break my promise, I will be punished by the gods and die!"

In the area of Silvermoon Castle, the belief in the Golden God is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so Shabolai's oath is quite heavy.

Seeing that the elders were moved, Lawson persuaded him pointedly.

"Old man, the bandits and rogues definitely have no future, as long as your sons and nephews are willing to come back to help and obey the laws of Crescent Town, then we will act as if nothing happened before."

"But Lovale must die!"

The elders' faces moved again, but none of them spoke, apparently thinking about gains and losses.

"Uncle, put away the cash box."

Harrick complied.

When he collected the cash box, everyone looked at the box, looking nostalgically at the fading light.

'Click~'

When the lid of the box was closed, many people showed a look of despair on their faces.

Eventually, the old men walked away with complicated faces.

After they left, Shabole grabbed Lawson and Harrick and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't I know there was so much money?" ”

Rosen shrugged: "You didn't ask." ”

Harrick glared at him with disdain, and spoke much more directly.

"You spend a lot of money, and when you meet a beautiful girl, your fingers leak. If I let you know that you have so much money, you won't be thinking about it all day. ”

Shabolai smiled awkwardly: "Then I can't help but let me know." ”

Harrick snorted, "I won't lose you by eating and drinking, why do you know so much?" Give it to a woman? ”

Seeing that Shabolai was about to refute, he continued to take the vaccination.

"Shabolai, you have to pay attention, this money is earned by Lawson, it is Lawson's money, it is the money used to build the town, and it can't be spent indiscriminately."

"Then, we all know your virtue, and you get carried away as soon as you have money in hand. Otherwise, you will defeat the future Crescent Town in advance, and you will leave the town's money alone. ”

Xia Bolai had nothing to say about this, and he also knew that he was a money leaker.

But he was always a little unwilling, and he was silent for a while, and then discussed: "You have to let me have some money in my hand, otherwise I can't take out a single gram of thunder in my pocket as an acting lord, what a shame." ”

That's true, too.

Rosen made the decision: "Uncle, you can spend 300 crowns at your disposal for a month in the future." If you run out, you will have to wait for the next month, and you can't advance it. Enough, right? ”

300 crowns, which is more than ten times higher than the salary of a first-class guerrilla general, is more than enough at once.

Xia Bolai was immediately satisfied: "Enough is enough~~Heyhehe~"

Rosen and Harrick quietly glanced at each other, and both sighed secretly, both feeling that Shabolai was really a little confused.

Fortunately, although there are many shortcomings, there is a huge advantage, that is, it pays great attention to friendship and can listen to words.

As long as someone is willing to control him, he is not too ridiculous.

After a double repair, the convoy set off again, all the way over the mountains.

At noon the next day, the convoy arrived at the town building site that Rosen fancied.

Xia Bolai looked at the large open space with a flat terrain and a wide field of vision, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Not bad~ Very good, this place is much better than the broken place in Yuehui Town!"
