Hearing this, Sorrendo felt dizzy for a while, and then remembered his precious silly nephew!

He has been away from home for more than ten years!

Now, he has already removed the long beard that can be tied into a big braid, and he has also kicked off his long black hair with a big braid.But the only thing that hasn't changed is the smirk on his face.

Sorendo hastily stepped forward, followed behind the team, and caught up with the tall giant.

0799 Isn't it money?

George was smoking a cigar, sitting on the sofa, watching the beautiful men and women in the hall, and listening to Hussman's crying.

Although the banquet hall in this sand country is much smaller than the one in Yuecheng, it is much more extravagant.And this king's capital is not the ancient capital of Sha Kingdom, their ancient capital is Sun City. More than 30 years ago, the Sun King went north and kidnapped all the royal families in Sun City, and then released Husman and others.And the kingdom of Sha also moved its capital to his fiefdom.

This city can be ranked six or seven in the entire kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the top five are all in the hands of people from the southern desert.

Not only that, the eastern side of the entire southern continent is also relatively barren, and the main grasslands hit the west side.Originally, there were still many grasslands and oases around the city, but now there are fewer and fewer.

Mainly locust plagues.

If you go further south, there are quite a few oases, but most of them are occupied by monsters.

"The seat of God." Hussman did not call George His Royal Highness, but called him the Archangel: "These years have been either severe droughts or severe floods, and the grasslands have become less and less. On our side, only All that remains are the fields and grasslands around the Mediterranean Sea and the River of Stars."

"Now the plague of locusts is getting worse and worse. There are still many lakes and rivers in the south, but there are many monsters there. In recent years, our cities near the river of stars have been relatively safe, but there are also demons, zombies, and monsters." Phantoms appear. This year, a new kind of sand monster appeared. It looks like a snake, but it has sharp claws and poison.

George interjected: "I heard that there are very few such monsters near Sun City. I have never seen such a thing near the dead mine."

"They were all killed by the people from the Southern Wilderness. They had the best horses and fed the soldiers to make them fat and strong. Moreover, those monsters rarely set foot in Sun City, and they are active in the west of us."

Hussman sighed and continued: "On our side, those lords who are good at conquering and fighting are all in collusion with the people of the Southern Wilderness. They are strong and powerful, but they all have good land, so they don't care about the lives of other people. Desolate people are even more the same. In their eyes, we are just cattle and sheep raised in captivity. They come and plunder a few times a year and then leave. They don't care about those monsters at all.

"Now we have to grow our own food, and we have to rely on ourselves to resist monsters. As a result, more than half of the year's harvest will be taken away by the Sun City, and it will be saved by the damn Sun King. Private food can fill a whole city! Our food is not enough, the nobles are alright, the common people are living in poverty, there are fewer and fewer soldiers who can fight, and more and more bandits are making trouble everywhere. many"

While crying, Hussman put eye drops on Sun City.And from his words, George also understood one thing.

In the entire Southern Continent, the fields near various rivers, especially the banks of the Stars River, had good harvests.But most of the food is concentrated in the hands of the people in the southern desert.Moreover, they have been accumulating for many years. In order to prevent the grain from rotting, the Sun Royal Family has paid off a lot of wizards from the Moon Kingdom to cast spells. Occasionally, when there is too much old grain to put down, it will be sold to various mining areas.In exchange for gold, silver and gems.

"Now the lords of various places no longer obey orders. They are divided into more than a dozen forces, large and small. Many mines are in their hands. Basically, few people pay taxes to me. If they have spare money, they will pay the Sun King Offer up."

What Hussman said was true, but George knew that he had a lot of mines in his hands.

Because the technology, tools, and knowledgeable wizards for developing mineral resources all came from the Moon Kingdom, and the Moon Kingdom only gave these resources to Prince Hasman, and then the prince distributed them to various lords.In addition, there is also a lot of food shipped from Yuecheng every year, all of which are concentrated in the hands of Hussman.Therefore, mine owners and lords, in order to be able to mine ore, will pay taxes on time.

When I was in Yue Kingdom a few days ago, Hussman entered the Dawn Council in order to make connections, and even spent a lot of money and supplies. He looked so generous.When George heard how generous this guy was when he bribed his men, George's jaw dropped in shock.

Moreover, after joining the Dawn Alliance, they will have to pay taxes in the future.Hussman didn't care about getting some tax at all. After hearing that gem crystals can be used to offset taxes, this guy was relieved.

Isn't it just money!

Those bribes were eventually accepted by the knights, but the money was also donated by them, part of which was given to the military supplies, and part of which was used to buy a large amount of food to relieve the victims.

As for whether the knights said good things about Hussman in front of George after receiving the money, George said that what he heard the most was the boss, those guys don’t kill a fortune, I’m sorry for the money in his pocket !

As for why Hussman cried this time, George could see that what Hussman was worried about was not the money in his hand, he had plenty of money!What he was worried about was his status!

Although the people below hinted at paying taxes, they did not listen to orders.So Hussman was about to lose his seat.A strong backer is needed to provide troops and weapons.

Hussman's words brought George back to God.

"The death mine is the most stable of the three major mining areas here in the kingdom of sand. The other two are occupied by sand monsters and cannot be mined."

George has heard about this, because those mining areas are located in the south, and Elizabeth does not have so much energy to send troops. The pressure from the Northern Holy Court and the Western Awali was too great.And once the troops are dispatched, the supplies can't keep up, and the monsters will come back after killing them, but the troops of the Moon Kingdom can't stay here forever.So it's best to let the local lord handle it.But they obviously can't handle it.

What Husman said inside and outside the words is that he hopes that George can send troops, preferably to live here. At that time, Hussman will pay according to the standard of hiring the Knights of the Holy Court.

Or help Husman build troops.

"I heard that the army you helped Qiongying set up has caused people in the southern wilderness in the north to look for their teeth everywhere. I hope you can also send people over to clean up those lords and mine owners by the way. When we get what we have, we will score 3 or 7 points." .”

Hearing this, George looked at Hussman in surprise. He didn't know where this guy heard the news, but obviously he heard it incompletely.What Wendell did in Qiongying was not just as simple as building an army.

However, Tanya has secured her position as Grand Duke of the Eagle now, and Hussman seems to be very yearning for this kind of centralization, and also wants to become another Duke of the Eagle.As for Hussman, he thinks that what Sanctuary did in Dome Eagle was nothing more than turning the holy court above the head of Dome Eagle Principality into a sanctuary.

But Husman didn't know that when George's people concentrated power here, not only the lord, but also the king became dispensable. Salman saw it very clearly, so he no longer had that much interest in Saudi Arabia. Interested.

Of course, Hussman doesn't have any ambitions. As long as he doesn't go to Sun City as a slave after he ascends the throne, he will be thankful.

So even if he knew, this guy would probably pay attention to the constitutional monarchy.

Hussman, since you asked for it, it's not good if I don't help.Since you can't get together, I'll send someone to help you.

George nodded with a smile.

After Husman saw it, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

0800 Arms sale

"However, Hussman, how many things are there in the hands of those mine owners? Doesn't Yue Kingdom often buy ore?"

"God, you don't know something." Hasman beamed with joy, "The gems and crystals are only harvested by the Moon Kingdom, but the nobles of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have fleets, and they often go to the Forbidden Sanctuary to smuggle them. Or Sell ​​it to those pirates. The sea route has not been smooth in the past two years, and the moon country has received less. The price of gems and crystals is lower. So everyone simply hoarded the goods and waited until the sea route was clear. It’s a big sale. Therefore, the mines in the hands of those guys have accumulated a lot!”

All kinds of technologies in the Forbidden Sanctuary are highly developed, and many things in the Sanctuary are of great use to the nobles.The most popular of these are magical weapons and food—mainly a marine crop.Those crops have almost connected the various archipelagos together, and the harvest is amazing.

There are quite a few ordinary crop sanctuaries, and the output has not only reached the level of the experimental field of the sanctuary, but the fields of the various large islands add up to less than the Windtalker Basin.

"In addition to exchanging these two types of things, nobles and wealthy households also like to exchange some novelty gadgets. What are they called? Fashion! In the past two years, few people have gone to sea, so the ore in everyone's hands has not been sold. Not only have they not been sold, After hearing that the Sanctuary intends to purchase a large amount of magic ore, many people also started to buy magic ore wantonly, planning to kill you severely in the future!"

George laughed coldly. This group of nobles and rich families in Saudi Arabia is the same as the nobles in the north.In the apocalypse, their lives were basically not affected much.He is extremely optimistic about the future.So these people who can eat and drink, not only spend money like water, eat, drink and have fun every day, but also like to collect hard currencies such as jewelry.

Therefore, most of these people have the same idea as the people in the public assistance association, and they are trying their best to search for money.

According to Hussman's next narration, George learned again.This group of guys not only hoarded a lot of magical ores that they planned to sell at high prices, but also stored a lot of finished gems and crystals.When you can't sell it, try not to sell it.After all, gems last forever.And in the past ten years, no matter how high the price of magic ore was, it was still not as good as in peacetime.Therefore, various precious gems and ores have also accumulated a lot.

Of course, if the price charged by the shelter is very high, everyone will naturally be up for it.

"2 or 8 points is fine, my lord." Hussman said, in his eyes, those nobles who did not obey his orders have become lambs waiting to be slaughtered: "The north is about to fight, and I am counting it as early Donate a tax. I will keep the remaining [-]% ​​in my hand and use it to reward your soldiers."

Hussman can speak very well, but George originally thought that the 3 and 7 points were 7 for the prince and 3 for himself.

After thinking about it, he understood why Hussman was so keen on this matter—with his ability, although he couldn't keep those lands and mines, he would be fine once he joined the Council of Dawn.

As for Hussman, although he has to pay an extra tax after joining the alliance, it is no different from the original one—it used to pay tribute to the Holy Court, but now it is only to the alliance.And if the money is put in the big family of the alliance, they will often allocate funds for construction!

Hussman has seen those terms, as well as the actions of the members of the parliament.Their rights are like the bishops of the holy court, but they are not as greedy as those bishops, and they never accumulate personal money.The money handed over by the entire alliance is also taken from the people and used by the people.

Hussmann wondered why the council was doing so much development—and talking about increasing productivity.He also doesn't know what an industrial earthquake disaster is.He felt that after the money might be handed over, the council would use the money to build a palace for itself.
