Chapter 178 (1/2)

Blackstone.

This town, located in the southeast of Heijiao grassland, has a population of more than 5000. In terms of scale, even if the town is to be built into a city, there is no problem, but the reason why it has not been expanded into a city is that the planning of the town is very messy. Each scale expansion is built around the outermost stone wall bit by bit.

If a small town like this wants to expand into a large-scale city, it is equivalent to pushing down the whole town for reconstruction. Because the project is too huge, it is absolutely impossible for the mayor of the town to pay for it. If Elsie wants to pay for it, it will be impossible in the next few years.

Even after a few years, I don't know if he can reach this level.

In front of the town, Sean and Elsie got off their horses.

It's not that you can't ride into the city, but the top of the town gate is too small, which makes it impossible for riders to ride into the city.

Before entering the town, Sean had smelled a disgusting smell of putrefaction, which was even worse after entering the town. I can't tell what kind of smell it is, but it should be that excreta, garbage, sewage and other things can be stacked together. The ground in the town is still mud land without paved stone roads. Because of the long-term invasion of sewage, the feeling of this land is not soft, but disgusting.

”Just go into the third ring wall.” Elsie is not like a noble at all. Neither the foul air nor the muddy land can affect his mood at all. On the contrary, after seeing Sean's frown, he comforted, ”the town has been expanded four times. The first two times are good. Stone roads have been paved, but half of the stone roads have been interrupted since the third expansion, It is said that there was no stone road after the fourth expansion because the town did not have enough funds. ”

”Where is the stone factory?” Sean is not familiar with Blackstone, but with Lord Elsie, Lord modge, he certainly doesn't have to ask anyone.

”In the third ring wall, almost the whole South Street is a stone factory.” Elsie said with a smile, holding the horse in one hand and leading the way in the front, ”but we can't live in the third ring wall at night.”

”Why?” Sean is a little curious again.

”The more inside, the more expensive the accommodation.” Elsie smiled awkwardly, ”I don't have enough money. I spent it on the investment of the territory before.”

As he spoke, Elsie counted lightly with her finger: ”well, the tax next month will be about 100 gold coins...”

Sean glanced sideways at the Lord.

”... if the trade team is successfully established, there should be a net income of one or two hundred gold coins per trip...”

Sean sighed, not sympathy but pity for Elsie.

His short-distance trading caravan had only traveled to two small villages before. In only ten days, he had a net income of nearly 400 gold coins. If the rearranged caravan is successful, it can at least bring him back thousands of gold coins.

If you add in the quarterly tax next month, Sean expects the territory's income to exceed 3000 gold coins next month.

However, Elsie didn't seem to think it was shameful that his territory had only such a little income. He was still happy to calculate: ”it's said that the Marquis of tonis merged panda collar and shaov collar into a territory, and appointed a jazz to manage...”

”It's not a delegation, it's a reward.” Sean added Elsie's mistake, ”the identity of the new Lord is a pioneering knight, and the title is jazz Moreover, the two territories have not been merged, but the one belonging to black swan castle has been integrated with panda collar. The black reef grassland is still owned by the Marquis of tonis. The new territory hasn't been named yet, but I guess it should be almost the same. It can be officially renamed only after the documents are in hand. ”

Documents, of course, refer to pan Daling's documents. This document has not been obtained by yasna, so although the territory belongs to yasna in name, it is still the kingdom of dabion. This time, yasna not only sent a subordinate of thunder front to panda to lead the three towns to inform the new Lord, but also appointed a soldier of thunder front as an envoy, Go directly to Baron panda, the former panda leader, for documents.

Elsie whispered: ”tut Tut, open up knights. It seems that Marquis tonis has great ambition But how did you know so much? ”

”Because I am the Lord.” Sean said naturally.

”You?” Elsie was stunned at first and then laughed, ”you still like to joke Do you think the Lord is as poor as me? But even if I'm poor, I can take two followers. Your Lord doesn't even have one follower, ha ha. ”
