Wen Na agreed to Reggie's conditions, but Reggie still didn't want to reveal his plan.
In fact, Reggie didn't have a complete plan yet, but Wenna couldn't wait any longer. She had to rush back to Zhilin City before dawn.
Reggie wanted to know more about the situation in Zhilin City, but he did not completely believe Wen Na. He called for Bachelo and asked Bachelo to send several couriers to follow Wenna back to Zhilin City. Bachelo felt that Reggie
Ji was playing with fire, but he still complied with Reggie's request. Lance, Bill and Simon, the three messengers followed Wenna to Zhilin City.
Reggie wanted to have a good sleep, but at dawn, he was woken up. The tavern owner Vares came to the door with more than 200 civilians.
There were more than two hundred people, which meant that almost every household had a representative. In Reggie's impression, the last time it was so lively was the celebration after Sean was captured alive.
Their purpose of coming was very clear, and Vares got straight to the point and asked the first question: Why should the land be given to slaves?
"We fought for you and bled for you. When you needed us most, we were always by your side. Now you actually gave the most precious land to a group of slaves. What did you think of us?"
"That's just land that no one wants, and you don't want to farm there..." Reggie kept trying to explain the whole morning, but without any results.
It was not until noon that Bachelo arrived and the situation took a turn for the better.
"People of Broken Snow City, you have misunderstood the lord's meaning. Everyone can get the land in the north, as long as you can meet the lord's requirements and ensure that the land produces two thousand pounds of grain every year."
Batchelor looked at Reggie and whispered: "Sir, I think this is your original intention, right?"
Reggie thought for a moment, nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, this is my original intention!"
Bachelo is so smart that everyone can enjoy fair treatment, which is the best way to solve the problem.
But the residents didn't buy it, and Vares snorted: "Then we, like slaves, have to pay 30% of the rent every year, right?"
A farmer shouted: "Not only that, we also have to pay 40% tax, and the remaining tax is only 30%."
"No, you are different!" Reggie shook his head. He wanted to give the aboriginal people of Broken Snow City the treatment of super citizens. "You don't have to pay land rent. You only need to pay half of the tax every year. This is my gratitude to you and
Give back.”
Batchelor looked at Reggie in surprise, as if he had made another impulsive decision.
"Half percent tax?" Vares looked at Reggie in confusion, "Can you explain it more clearly?"
Batchelor took the lead and said: "The lord said that the tax will be reduced by half, and you only need to pay 35% of the tax."
"That's not what I meant," Reggie shook his head. "I meant only half the tax."
Bachelo looked up to the sky and sighed, the rescue failed.
Varese's eyes shone brightly: "Sir, are you saying that for one hundred pounds of grain, we only need to pay five pounds of tax?"
Reggie nodded and said, "Yes."
"And we don't have to pay ground rent?"
"Yes."
Vares smiled: "Can every resident of Broken Snow City get a piece of land?"
"Yes."
"I have three children, plus my wife, there are five pieces of land in total, right?"
Seeing Varese's sinister smile, Reggie became a little panicked.
"I, I think you don't need that much land. You still have business to do. Five pieces of land need to produce at least 10,000 pounds of grain. This is a very hard job..."
"I don't need you to worry about it, my lord," Vares said with a smile, "I want five pieces of land."
In one day, almost all the residents of Broken Snow City took away a piece of land. The land area is not a problem. From Hanmaple Fortress to Broken Snow City, from the Lost Mountain to the seaside, there is an endless supply of vast wasteland, but
Reggie was very worried that if they failed to complete their mission, new conflicts would arise when the time came to take back the land.
Batchelor was not worried about this: "Sir, they will complete the task."
"How is this possible?" Reggie shook his head. "Let's talk about Vares, he hasn't farmed for many years? Can he just abandon the tavern and become a farmer again?"
"I don't think they need to farm by themselves," Bacello sighed. "To be honest, I'm not worried about this. I really don't understand why you want to lower taxes to such a level. Half the tax can't
Maintain the expenses of Shattered Snow City.”
Reggie smiled and said: "I don't need to use taxes to maintain expenses. I have my factories, and they can create endless wealth for me."
"The urine wax has indeed helped you make some money," Batchelor said, "but this is not a long-term solution. If the nobles no longer need the urine wax, we will also lose the source of wealth."
"The source of wealth will not be lost," Reggie pointed to his head, "It is here, and it has been gushing in my mind. Now let's discuss the matter of Zhilin City without starting a war.
, can we drive away these damned punishers?"
"This is difficult," Batchelor shook his head and said, "I really don't understand why you want to help Edwina. Are you tempted by her beauty?"
"Almost, to be frank, I was almost tempted by her," Reggie said, "but at least I was sober when I made this decision. I didn't want these dangerous Heavenly Punishers to get too close to me.
, and I also need an ally."
Batchelor said: "As an ally, this woman is not that reliable."
"It doesn't need to be so reliable, as long as it's not an enemy."
Reggie and Batchelor discussed for a whole afternoon. Reggie used his weird brain circuits to come up with many unconventional ideas. Batchelor used his cautious thinking to constantly overturn Reggie's proposals. After several arguments, the two reached an agreement.
To reach a consensus and formulate a reasonable plan, the premise is that the information provided by Wen Na is true.
This depends on the messengers to verify it.
As the most capable couriers of the Grand Bachelor, Lance, Bill and Simon are not ordinary couriers. They have undergone rigorous training and have extraordinary abilities. They know how to hide their identities and escape tracking, and they are very good at spying.
information.
Before leaving, Batchelor repeatedly reminded them of the importance of their mission and warned them not to make fatal mistakes due to foolish behavior.
Bachelo's worries are very reasonable. Zhilin City is a place where men can easily make mistakes. This city can make them extremely stupid.
Following Wen Na to Zhilin City, Wen Na immediately wanted to arrange some special "entertainment" for them, but they refused.
They got rid of Wen Na's tracking and searched around Zhilin City for news. They met many enthusiastic people along the way and recommended many colorful activities to them. Some activities really made their hearts beat. But for the sacred mission,
They still refused.
At night, under the enchanting lights, the colorful orioles fly onto the streets, and the alluring scent of powder fills the entire Zhilin City.
At first, all three people refused, but at midnight, Bill followed a girl to the Violet Castle, and tragedy happened.
Bill always believed that he was an excellent messenger, a reliable messenger, and a strong-willed messenger. The reason why he took a fancy to this girl was because she seemed very honest and could allow Bill to find out more information.
After entering the room, Bill first had a spiritual communication and price discussion with the girl.
The communication was relatively smooth and the price was very reasonable. Just when Bill decided to have a deeper communication with this girl, Cassati walked into the room with a group of Heavenly Punishers.
Bill immediately collapsed in the room, not just his legs, but all parts of him were weak.
