Seeing the list of prisoners that Sean took out, Jessica immediately came over, her face full of anxiety:

"Is Khadgar on the list?"

Jessica is still worried about Khadgar. After all, Khadgar is a "traitor". Sean won't kill him, right?

The Marquis of Rivers glared at Jessica, but he still turned to the silver column on the second page.

Khadgar's name stood out.

But in terms of price, Khadgar is 10 times higher than an ordinary silver-level powerhouse, and it takes a full 1,000 gold coins to redeem it.

"1,000 gold coins? Why is it so expensive?" Jessica exclaimed.

"Of course." Sean shrugged: "Khadgar is a traitor, but I did not choose to kill him. After all, I will not be in trouble with the gold coins, and he will not cause any substantial harm to the territory.

Of course, if you don't exchange it with gold coins, I won't kill him.

To be honest, he is a good mining expert!"

Sean even told the truth at the end.

The Marquis of the River collected the list after looking at it twice, and said seriously: "Okay, when we go back, we will confirm the list of people who want to be redeemed. Within a week, I will have people come to Hetan Town with gold coins to redeem what we want.

The redeemed.”

"As long as the gold coins arrive, I will return the person to you immediately." Sean said happily.

...

Now that everything has been settled, Sean and the three returned to Hetan Town, and the Marquis of River also returned to Yoen City with his men.

On the way back to Jon City, the Marquis of the River stretched his body easily:

"The negotiation is over and I can finally sleep peacefully!"

It's time to find a beautiful noble lady and enjoy the simple pleasures in life.

Lucas still frowned:

"Mason, although we have signed a contract with Sean, we cannot be negligent. If Sean breaks the contract, we must at least be prepared!"

"You're right, Lucas."

Marquis River nodded:

“We must at least be prepared with two things:

First hand, we can transfer core family members to Rumi Aster;

The second step is to consolidate the city defense and recruit some magicians to form a magic legion. Apart from the sky level, the only ones that can fight against the sky level are the magic legion!"

Jessica had a headache: "But father, we still have to prepare war compensation, and the family doesn't have that much money!"

"It's okay!" Marquis River pointed his finger to the east:

"Have you seen those non-water nobles? They have a lot of money!"

...

...

After the negotiation, Sean and the other three quickly returned to Hetan Town.

After hearing the news that the lord had returned from negotiations, the townspeople spontaneously came to the square in the north of the town to greet Sean. The square was densely packed with residents of the town.

Everyone is looking forward to it. What good news will the Lord bring back this time?

Especially the 30 slaves who had just been restored to free citizenship were even more excited. They held flowers, waved flags and shouted Sean's name.

When Sean's figure riding a velociraptor appeared on the Thorn Ridge in the north, the townspeople who greeted him immediately became excited and shouted Sean's name loudly.

The bell tower of the newly built church also sounded "dang" and "dang" to welcome Sean's return.

…

Sean waved to the townspeople. When he arrived at the town's north square, Sean was so happy that he loudly said to the townspeople:

"I just went to negotiate with the Marquis of River who invaded us, and the negotiation was a complete victory! The Marquis of River will pay us more than 110,000 gold coins in war compensation, and Shuisong Town will also be temporarily under our jurisdiction from now on! It won't be long before we can

Make Riverbank great again!”

Hearing Sean's words, the surrounding townspeople immediately went crazy:

"110,000 gold coins? There are gold coins in units of '10,000'?"

"My God of Light! 50 gold coins is a huge sum of money to me! 110,000?!"

"There are so many gold coins and they are not piled up like a hill?"

"And Shuisong Town is also under our control! It's a viscounty!"

"The Lord is right, let Hetan Town be great again!"

"Make Riverbank great again!"

.......

Finally, the town's north square was covered by a uniform voice of "Make Hetan Town great again!"

Everyone can't wait to see the day when Hetan Town regains its glory.

Seeing how enthusiastic the townspeople were, Sean also promised many benefits to the townspeople:

For example, several government-operated stores offer half-price discounts on all products for a week; (actually they still make money, but there is almost no profit)

Other private traders will definitely be affected and their income will decrease, and the government will also provide them with certain subsidies;

Also, the release time for the next batch of slaves was shortened from half a year to one month;

Hold a national sports meeting, and you will be rewarded for participating, etc.

The residents have received benefits, and the cheers are naturally getting louder and louder. Many people can't wait to deliver the good news to their relatives and friends.

The entire Hetan town quickly turned into a sea of ​​joy.

...

...

After leaving the Zhenbei Square, Sean called the second housekeeper Anton and asked him to take Matthew and Kate to rest.

Sean himself was not idle either. He rode the Blood Swamp Velociraptor and rushed through the administrative hall, found Anduin who was busy, and told him the results of the negotiations.

Anduin was also overjoyed after hearing this:

"Great! At least 120,000 gold coins have been received this time, which is almost twice the number of gold coins we have in stock!

With this large sum of money, we are no longer limited to developing in Hetan Town and can take steps forward. Sir, do you have any good ideas?"

"I have already thought about this issue on the way back."

Sean smiled and replied:

“If you want to be rich, build roads first.

During this period, we should immediately start building roads from Shuisong Town to Hetan Town, and from Hetan Town to Port Kapur. Moreover, there were roads in the three places before, but they have not been abandoned for a long time. We can build on the basis of the abandoned roads.

, which saves a lot of effort.”

"Okay, sir." Anduin said confidently:

"We can take advantage of this opportunity to recruit a group of construction workers, which will solve the employment problem of some people in the territory. In addition to road construction, is there anything else?"

"Of course." Sean rubbed his chin to sort out his thoughts, and then said slowly:

"We can go to Kapur Port to buy some properties, such as some land, workshops, warehouses, and docks to facilitate our import and export of goods... Let's consider this later!

What we need to do now is to go to Shuisong Town and hold Shuisong Town firmly in our hands first!"

At this time Windsor also walked in, Sean patted Windsor on the shoulder:

"Wendsor, you came just in time! You and Anduin get ready, we will go to Water Pine Town together tomorrow!"

"Okay, sir!"

…

All day long on June 1st, Sean was packing his things and preparing to go to Water Pine Town.

On June 2, Sean set off with Matthew, Anduin, Windsor and Thor.
Chapter completed!
