Sean glanced at the three people one by one and said with a smile, ”so, Lord Elvin has come to take refuge in me?”

”No.” The young man named Elvin shook his head and his voice was calm. ”I'm just responsible for escorting mayor zig and Mr. Rudin.”

Sean Oh, didn't say anything, and then began to look through the book in his hand. What is recorded in the small book is some list records in a little more detail, which is not too complicated, but Sean looked at each page carefully until he turned over most of the book, and finally saw a specific number at the end.

1371。

This means that the town can bring Sean 1371 gold coins a quarter.

But when Sean saw this number, his sneer was even heavier.

At present, Hongye town has a population of only 1800 people, but it can bring him 1034 gold coins every quarter. According to Sean's current understanding, the town managed by Mayor Zig has a population of more than 3000, but it can only bring in 1371 gold coins per quarter? He knew that there should have been tampering in this small book, but he didn't understand the specific operation method, because there was no post of tax official in the territory at present.

The only thing Sean can rely on is the judgment of the Lord system.

He threw the little book on the table, but Sean smiled and said, ”well, good, I like people who obey the rules However, some things should be handled carefully. After the territory is secure, I will send a tax official. ”

When hearing the first half of the sentence, the mayor named zig and the fat Rudin both smiled humbly, but when Sean said the second half of the sentence, their faces changed slightly. But Sean pretended not to see it at all. He turned his head and looked at Elvin. He seemed very interested and said, ”I've heard of your mercenary regiment. It's really not easy to defeat Da brohn's troops Maybe there's a little favor for you later. I hope your salary won't be too high. ”

”My price is absolutely reasonable. You can rest assured, Lord.” Elvin's heart was a little cold, and he obviously felt the difficulty of Sean in front of him, ”but Lord, are you going to start another war?”

”Panda Town, which originally belonged to me, is now occupied by others and wantonly wields a butcher's knife at my leaders. If I don't care, who will save them?” Sean said with awe inspiring dignity, ”I was worried about the timing of the war, but now I don't have to worry. You really brought me good news.”

When he heard Sean's words, Elvin frowned: ”Lord, in my opinion, your current troops don't seem to be enough to deal with dabron's troops? In such a situation where the possibility of losing is too high, I will not rashly accept your entrustment. ”

”William, how many troops are there in the territory now, counting the reserve forces?” Sean turned his head and looked at William.

Although William is not very good at dealing with interpersonal relationships, he is not a fool. At this time, he has heard that Sean doesn't seem very happy about the town's initiative to surrender. However, of course, William would not ask questions in the current situation, so after hearing Sean's words, he immediately replied: ”including the people of Puda people's corps, there are about 500 troops.”

”Five hundred, that's a little less.” Sean nodded. ”Well, your town... By the way, the town doesn't have a name, does it?”

”Lord, please give me your name.” Zig bowed.

”It's called pigeon town.” Sean said faintly.

”Thank you for your name.” Ziggy dared to straighten up at this time, but the uneasiness on his face was also extremely obvious.

”There seems to be a lot of manpower in your white dove town. Send 500 young adults to join the Puda people's corps.” Sean said calmly, ”you can gather up a thousand infantry.”

”Lord!” Zig and Rudin both shouted in surprise.

For the small town now known as white dove Town, five hundred young adults are not a small number, because the main economic source of the town is relying on crops. Although the old people in the town can also work in agriculture, they are physically inferior to the young people, so the efficiency is naturally very low. Moreover, they have fought with the dabron mercenary Corps before, which has lost a lot of manpower. Now, if Sean transfers 500 young adults, white dove town will basically be abandoned.

”Together with a thousand infantry troops and your heroic sword, it should be enough to deal with the dabron mercenary regiment?” Sean ignored the two men. Instead, he turned and looked at Elvin and smiled softly.

”What if I don't say enough.” AI Wen's face was sullen. Although he had a maturity inconsistent with his age, he still had some ambition after all. His momentum rose rapidly at this moment, but he condensed without hair, giving people a feeling like a storm is coming.
