There are quite a lot of rooms in this palace. Although many of them are rooms of nobles, Li Ke and Jennifer don't want to live in them. But with the help of the maid, they quickly cleared out a few rooms that were previously unoccupied.
I have lived in it, but it was just used as a spare room for Li Ke and the others.
Naturally, Li Ke was not in a hurry to rest. He found the housekeeper here and wanted to ask some questions, but he refused to answer, so Li Ke just had to kill him and let another maid who was willing to answer help him deal with the palace.
things.
With the help of these maids, Li Ke found what he wanted.
The tax account books, as well as the nobles' own small account books, and several detailed maps called tax towns.
Well, the name of this town is so unpretentious, just like New York - New York means New York County, and York means wild boar people.
Therefore, South American sjz, Qingdao (Greenland), Lishui (Fontainebleau), Baoji (Phoenix), and Wangzitun (Princeton) exist.
The people of Azeroth are very simple when it comes to naming. For example, in Stormwind City, the wind there is really strong, and due to geographical reasons, storms often sweep through. Basically, the climate reference is Guangzhou-Shenzhen.
No problem.
Li Ke carefully looked at the map of Taxation Town, or Ruifaning, and found that this place is indeed very suitable as a stronghold. Of course, it is not the stronghold in the minds of the people of Azeroth.
There are water sources in all directions here, and almost all of them are plains, so factories and farms can be easily established.
And it's not that far away from the forest. We only need to build a lumber camp. In fact, there is a lumber camp there, but Li Ke and the others passed by it when they came. There was nothing there except a shed.
"It looks like we need to recruit a lot of manpower..."
Li Ke knocked on the mahogany table. Although he was not short of money, he did have some problems with cash flow. Only when the sorceress came could it be alleviated.
Therefore, when he recruited these refugees, he could not provide money as a reward.
"But it's not a big problem. Just use tax to compensate. Those who help out for a month will have their tax reduced by one layer. Those who join the militia will have their tax reduced by half per month. In this way, this problem can be solved. The remaining money
It’s enough turnover. And when the craftsmen and laborers are gathered, we can take out the nobles and hang them to vent their anger..."
Li Ke thought for a while and figured out a way. As for food, there would really be no shortage. After all, not all farmers can enjoy tax exemption.
At that time, the taxation team will be dispatched, and the food will naturally be collected. Before that, the supplies they brought are still sufficient, enough to feed an army of 1,000 people for three months.
"But now we really need to plan carefully."
Li Ke looked at the map. Most of the places in the western wilderness were used as cultivated land, and only a small part of the area was divided into pastures. However, it is now abandoned due to the Defias thieves.
"The grazing of cattle and sheep needs to be restarted... As for the chickens, some of them should be free-range first... They all need manpower. So what should we build first so that everyone is willing to come and use them..."
Li Ke had a headache. He needed to do some good deeds to make these people recognize him, then do something big, and finally hang those nobles to maximize his reputation.
But the problem is that this "one" is not very easy to deal with. Now that I have arrested all grassroots officials such as tax collectors, the people below may not recognize you. Only you have done something, or directly led troops to start an armed battle.
Parade, they will believe that you are the new manager.
Li Ke couldn't help but look at the maid standing silently next to him. She was a typical blond girl with delicate and shiny skin. She didn't have any stage fright when facing Li Ke. She could tell at a glance that she belonged to a big family.
Born as a maid.
The other party was also very aware of the situation and brought him what he needed, and did not let him continue to kill.
So Li Ke asked her directly.
"Do you know what people in this town lack most right now?"
The maid glanced at Li Ke, bowed first, and then spoke slowly.
"Dear Mr. Li Ke, what the residents of Ruifaning Town need most now is a free mill and bakery, as well as a qualified blacksmith shop. After all, the autumn harvest is coming soon. If we can't build it quickly,
If there are new mills and blacksmith shops, people in the dozens of surrounding villages and farms will not be able to harvest and process their own wheat. And if there is no bakery, they will not have enough fuel to heat themselves in the winter.
He went to bake bread and froze to death...you should know why, right?"
Li Ke nodded, he naturally knew that a mill could not be built casually, especially one that could crush grain into powder in one breath, which was not something ordinary farmers could afford.
As for your own stone mill, although it is simple, it is incomparable to a waterwheel mill and can save a lot of time.
In a situation like the Western Wilderness, where there are fewer people and more land, time is food and money.
As for the bakery, it's even simpler.
Due to fuel constraints, not everyone has a stove capable of baking bread and has the ability to bake bread themselves. Most people buy flour and leave it to the bakers in the bakery to bake it.
In poor places, the lords stepped forward to establish free or paid bakeries.
Moreover, serious bread is not the fragrant and sweet bread that people in China eat. It is more similar to steamed buns and pot helmets, which are generally salty.
The maid saw Li Ke nodding before continuing. She was really afraid that Li Ke wouldn't know
"The bakery and blacksmith shop in the town were destroyed by my previous owner, and even the waterwheel was destroyed, in order to collect a sum of money later, so if you want to pay for it here,
If people do something, the best way is to repair these things, or open the castle's bakery, and..."
The maid was a little nervous and didn't know whether she should continue speaking. Li Ke raised her head and encouraged her, and then the maid continued to speak.
"The goblins are coming soon, so I think you should think about countermeasures in this regard."
The maid stopped talking at this point. It was obvious that she knew how to measure.
"It's a shame for someone like you to just be a maid."
Li Ke clapped and looked at the maid. He admired such smart people.
"Interested in becoming mayor of Dame Jennifer? Miss Maid."
