Broad World

Chapter 333: Plant a seed of turmoil

Naria sighed helplessly. Although only a few days of getting along, she has developed a sense of belonging to this powerful and helpful adventure team. But the reality is often cruel, and she also knows that her personal strength is too bad, even if she reluctantly follows it, it will only become a drag.

Seeing the sad look of this "eldest lady", Henry smiled and shook his head. "Don't be discouraged, the young man should show his vigor. If you don't mind, I can give you some pointers."

"Speaking of it, you have to know that my requirements are very high. If it's a business or mercenary job, let's forget it. Although the Deanis family has lost their land, there are still many properties that are enough for me to spend. That's right." Naria lightly stroked the family ring inherited from her father. Anyone could see that her mood was a little depressed.

"How about politics? With the contacts left by Sir Deannis, you can easily get a pretty good position. This can satisfy your desire to change the status quo in Amn and help more poor people. In my asylum Next, I believe no one dares to abuse you, the most is to use some means to carry out political suppression."

Henry finally revealed his true purpose. As the Baldur’s Gate region rises in the north, it is bound to have an impact with neighboring countries. Among them, Deepwater City has become an ally, and it has also formed a certain degree of complementarity in trade. As for Cormyr, there is no need to worry about it. The Cape of Storms mountain range makes it impossible for the two countries to have much communication. The last thing left is Amn, who has the greatest conflict of interest and is most likely to have direct confrontation in the future.

In his plan, this neighbor must be weakened, divided, or even destroyed. Otherwise it is always a huge hidden danger. Perhaps it is a good choice to set off a class antagonism and riot in this country. Therefore, advocating freedom and equality Naria has become a **** that can be used.

Once the political situation is turbulent. Merchants in Amn found that their lives and property were not guaranteed at all, and they would flee in large numbers. The more chaotic Tessor and Karinshan in the south are obviously not a good choice. The Tunis and Cormyr in the east obviously don't pay much attention to business, so the Baldur's Gate in the north has become the only choice.

Henry believed that with his own means and business knowledge, he could take this opportunity to secretly **** blood on Amn, and when the upper-level rulers noticed it, it might be too late. At that time, these guys not only dare not turn their faces, but also rely on him to send troops to deal with Taser who took advantage of the fire.

With Naria’s social experience and education. Obviously it is not enough to understand the sinister intentions. It can be said that due to the deterrence of gods and high-end force in this world, most people have not yet realized the serious problem of class antagonism. In their opinion, a group of poor ghosts can't even afford decent weapons. As long as a few heavily armed soldiers are sent to suppress it, the other party will honestly surrender.

According to the large-scale revolution of the poor in Europe on the earth, there are generally two possibilities. First, the gap between rich and poor is huge, and second, the lower classes are precarious. Obviously Amn has both of these points. Moreover, there is also a huge underground criminal organization here, and many people have to accept another layer of exploitation.

Even in Ascatraz. Henry could also feel huge public grievances gathering. Now these poor people only need an experienced leader to unite them, and they can immediately burst out unimaginable forces. At that time, if Amn sends troops directly to suppress it, although the upper-level elite groups can be kept, the population will be lost in a large amount. If you choose to compromise, the situation will be more serious. Not only will countless merchants run away directly, but even the aristocracy will be disappointed in this country.

Naria lowered her head and considered for a long time. From her eyes, she could see expectation, excitement, hesitation, and nervousness. It was not until she was about to walk into a farmhouse that she solemnly replied: "Your suggestion is very good, but I need to think about it seriously. Don’t worry, I will give you an accurate answer when we get rid of the Ronore family."

"No problem. It just happens that Shandie and I need to recuperate for a few days from the injury. I can give you some political tricks by the way, so that you won't be thrown around by those cunning veterans." The corners of Henry's mouth slightly closed. Alice, showing a playful smile.

He believed that as long as he instilled some special ideas on earth, the girl's actions in front of him would be regarded as a saviour by the poor. In a few years, there will be a unit around her that is enough to make any ruler shudder. Will these people with nothing be willing to continue to live at the bottom of the society? Of course not. They will stand up and demand the sharing of power. At that time, they will inevitably conflict with the original rights holders, and a riot that will sweep the entire Amn will naturally be born.

The two came to the door of the farmhouse with their own thoughts and knocked hard. A few minutes later, a farmer opened the door cautiously with a manure fork. When he saw Naria, he immediately yelled: "Goddess of the earth, respectable lady, why are you here? I heard that the castle has been occupied by a group of monsters. Could it be that they have been repelled now?"

"Yes, the enemies entrenched there have been completely wiped out, but my father unfortunately died in the hands of the monster."

"Oh! God! This is really bad news. Sir Deannis is a kind and good man. May his soul rest in the kingdom of the gods." The farmer covered his chest with his hand and bowed respectfully. His eyes are full of sincerity, and he respects his lord from the bottom of his heart.

Naria paid a courtesy very politely. "Thank you very much for your blessing, Jon. I believe my father will be very happy if he finds out. But this time I will mainly buy some food and meat, and I will also introduce you to the gentleman next to him. This is the new owner of this land."

"The new owner?!!!" The farmer's face showed a shocked expression, and then he stammered and asked: "You...you mean, in the future...this is not part of the Deanis family anymore?! !"

"Yes. In order to prevent this land from falling into the hands of those with ulterior motives, I have transferred the ownership to this gentleman. Don't worry, he promised me that in the future, the agricultural tax will only be collected at most 40%, and there is no such thing. Other taxes in a variety of names."

In order to keep it secret, Naria did not directly reveal Henry's true identity. But this can only be concealed for a while. After all, as a human who killed Balagas' "Flying Flame", his name and deeds are destined to be sung by countless bards. However, it is better not to be known by outsiders before the Ronor family is killed.

When the farmer named Jon heard the 40% tax, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly bowed to the new local lord. "You are really a kind and generous adult, please allow me to express my highest respect to you on behalf of the farmers here."

"Thank you for your compliment, but there are still many people hungry in the castle, so can we go to your corral to have a look, and then buy some eggs and vegetables." Henry said with a smile. He knew very well that the reason why the farmer was very respectful was mainly because his taxes were lowered. It is foreseeable that the Deanis family will still affect the people living here in the future, and it will not decline for at least a year.

"It's an honor to serve you. Please go inside. The barn is in the backyard of the house." As Jon walked ahead, he led the two. Along the way, he kept telling them about the plight of the farmers here, such as the river embankment that has not been repaired for a long time, and it will be washed away during the rainy season every year. The waterwheel mill, which was only recently destroyed by monsters, would not be able to grind wheat into flour if it is not repaired.

Henry listened with a smile, and promised that once the castle returned to normal operation, he would send someone to solve these problems. No way, who made the land around this area close to the tributaries around Lake Esmere. If you don’t quickly repair it, once large-scale rains and floods begin, they will definitely flood. Instead of spending a large sum of money to help farmers every year, it is better to rebuild the water conservancy system all at once.

After getting the affirmative reply from the new lord, Jon said a lot of thankful words happily. When he got to the barn, he pointed to the five pigs, one cow, six sheep and one workhorse inside.

"These are all my livestock here. Each sheep has one gold coin and pigs three gold coins. Cows and horses are essential animals for farm work, so they cannot be sold. As for chickens, ducks, eggs, and vegetables, there are many more. If necessary, I can put on the car and send it directly to the castle."

From this farmer’s home, it can be seen that most of the people in ~lightnovelpub.net are living well, although they are not rich, at least there is no problem with food and clothing. After simple negotiations, Henry swept all the livestock, including cows and workhorses, with a hundred gold coins. In addition, he also ordered a large amount of fresh vegetables, poultry, eggs and grains here.

When the two left, Jon's house had basically nothing left except for the unripe wheat and a few vegetables in the field. This purchase allowed him to earn at least forty gold coins, which was the highest total of the previous three years' income.

After returning to the castle, Henry personally cooked and made a big table of hearty breakfasts for everyone. As for Orloces and Altagos, they have long been unable to bear it, and they turned into a dragon form directly in the yard, killing the domestic animals. After an hour, except for a little blood on the ground, not even a bone was left. After eating and drinking, the two guys regained their human form consciously, found a corner and lay down and fell asleep. It takes at least a week for them to digest so much meat.

After breakfast, Naria, Imoon, and Hina set off for Esmil Taran, saying that they were going to hire a general manager, several male and female servants, a guard captain, and a hundred or so soldiers for the castle. Henry also felt that it made sense, so he gave them five thousand gold coins. After all, the rewards of this adventure are quite rich, and there is no need to treat your teammates badly.
