Why are there monsters in my territory?

Chapter 8 Plan
The attendants put down their knives and forks one after another, and looked at Li Yong in surprise.

Receiving Li Yong's nodding and tacit response, Lu Nuo showed a look of surprise: "Lord Lord, you have made a breakthrough? If Lord Viscount finds out, he will be very happy!"

He had already known about Li Yong's information and the experience of the lord in his early years, which was why he offered his loyalty to Li Yong so easily.

This lord is born intelligent, and has shown his intelligence since he was a child. Unfortunately, he has no talent for fighting spirit and magic, and has no way to go beyond the ordinary.He was treated coldly for protecting the common people, and left the power center of the Viscount Mansion early.

Compared with others, he obviously hoped that such a benevolent and considerate alien would hold power.

Li Yong shook his head and said, "It's just a low-level fighter, and it has no practical significance to the Viscount."

Regarding Lu Nuo's idea, Li Yong sees it through but doesn't say it through it.

Unlike him who is "mediocre and rebellious", the two older brothers above him are both extraordinary existences.The eldest brother became a knight early, and now he is a captain of the Imperial Army at the age of 25, and his command is a hundred-member knight brigade; the second brother has a talent for magic and has been admitted to the Imperial Academy of Magic. Now he is close to the bronze threshold and is about to return from graduation.

The viscount's title is indeed coveted by Li Yong now. Once he inherits the title, it means becoming the master of the viscount's land at the same time, and he will definitely get ten times, a hundred times or even more monster leaders.

But now to fight for power?No matter whether the network power or own strength is far from enough, it is just a hot face to put on someone's cold ass, and it will also attract unnecessary suspicion.

Li Yong secretly said in his heart: "Wretched development, don't waste time!" '

"But..." Lu Nuo still didn't give up, and said, "After all, you are the son of that lord."

Li Yong continued to resist: "There is no need to mention this matter again. He kicked me away in the early years, but now he can't pull his face down and get close to me."

Lu Nuo lowered his head and sighed: "Okay."

In fact, he knew in his heart that his thoughts were a little unrealistic.After Li Yong was awarded the "First Baron", it also meant that he was kicked out of the circle of heirs.And once you leave some circles, it is as difficult as ever to enter again.

Li Yong said with a smile: "Master Lu Nuo, don't always sigh, good luck and life are slipping away from your mouth."

Lu Nuo couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, he saw a letter from Li Yong: "Could it be?"

Li Yong nodded and said: "I have already written a letter on the matter of taxes, so I will trouble Master Lu Nuo to send it to the Viscount. But..."

Li Yong's smile suddenly subsided, and he said: "Nine times out of ten things will not go as smoothly as we imagined. Therefore, we must be mentally prepared to pay taxes as usual in the second year's harvest."

Lu Nuo frowned: "My lord, with the current financial situation, once the next year's autumn harvest declines, some townspeople will be unable to support it."

Li Yong seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and rolled out a map of the surrounding area of ​​Maple Leaf Town, pointed out: "Lord Lu Nuo, in my opinion, this area is suitable for the development of animal husbandry, why don't you try to open up new ones?" What about the income field?"

Lu Nuo's brows were tightly furrowed, and crow's feet appeared at the corners of his eyes. He sighed and looked at Li Yong no longer as trustingly as before: "Master, although this area belongs to our Maple Leaf Town, it is actually a The territory of the Demonic Cow Beast.

The leaders of the monsters are extremely intelligent, so they will not easily attack our human villages, but if we try to invade their territory, especially if we build animal pens within their territory, we will definitely be attacked! "

Lu Nuo didn't directly deny Li Yong's proposal, but he denied and refuted every sentence, which seemed to be a kind of hatred.

"Of course I know about this." Li Yong nodded and said with a smile: "But the beasts I want to raise are these magical cows."

Hearing Li Yong's words, everyone had different expressions, some were shocked, some were frightened, some were revered, and some were secretly disdainful...

"absurd!"

Hearing only a light snap, Lu Nuo has already jumped into the air.

After making these actions, Lu Nuo's complexion changed belatedly.

What will happen if you defy the nobles head-on?It is impossible to know Lu Nuo's age and experience.

He continued: "Please allow me to be excited. My lord, I mean we don't have the ability to support this plan at all!"

Li Yong looked directly at him and said, "I said yes, so there is."

Lu Nuo's white hair was sticking to his temples with sweat. He gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and said, "My lord, you can't go your own way like this! Maple Leaf Town is not your Maple Leaf Town alone. If you do this, you will Kill the townspeople of Maple Leaf Town! Kill yourself!"

Even if he would be decapitated by Li Yong, Lu Nuo couldn't let Li Yong do crazy things.

Lu Nuo is an old man who has not had a good life for a few years. He values ​​Maple Leaf Town more than himself. A person who will put himself in danger for the benefit of the town is not afraid of death.

In the dining room, the faces of everyone changed again.

Levi was silent, his eyes fell on Li Yong's face without any trace, his hands quietly dropped to his waist, and he made a preparatory action reflexively.He and Lu Nuo have worked together for more than ten years, and it is self-evident whose standpoint they consider.

As an extraordinary person, after experiencing brutal battles, Levi has long been trained to be superhumanly courageous, and there is no reason to be afraid of a down-and-out nobleman who will be dispatched.As a native of Maple Leaf Town, he naturally respects Lu Nuo who is dedicated to the people.Of course, hands-on is a last resort whenever possible.

Li Yong picked up the wine glass in front of him as if nothing happened, took a sip of the fine wine, and said, "Lu Nuo, you should know that we can't last long. If you really have the confidence, how could you mention this to me at the beginning of the meeting? I can tell you directly that there is a high probability that Lord Viscount will not be on my side. If that is the case, what should we do next year? You rejected my proposal, okay, what proposal do you have? Heh... like in previous years, use Does this solve the problem?"

At the end, Li Yong took out a thick document and pushed it in front of Lu Nuo.

The corners of his mouth curled up, as if he was secretly laughing.

Lu Nuo frowned, and opened the file suspiciously. There was a torn notebook paper in the file, and the mathematical formulas and calculation process on it came into view randomly.

He changed his face in shock, turned his head suddenly, looked at Bachelor Nost firmly, and handed the document to him: "Nost, what did you do?"

But after seeing Maester Nost flipping through it twice, he shook his head with an ugly expression.

The bachelor had already recognized that the pile of materials was part of what he had handed over to Li Yong in the morning, the information about the financial expenditure of the territory.

He looked at Li Yong with a bit of horror in his eyes: "In just one morning, he calculated that there was a problem with the account book?"And... the information I gave him has already been checked by Lu Nuo and me, so there shouldn't be any problems! '

Old God Li Yong accepted the horrified gazes of Nost and Lu Nuo on the ground.

Li Yong already suspected tax evasion in Maple Leaf Town when he heard about Lu Nuo's double taxation.

The biggest flaw is that he has seen the mental state of the local townspeople along the way. It is impossible to explain the mere happy autumn harvest. .

If it was fraudulent account evasion and tax evasion, it would be a good explanation for Lu Nuo's impatience.

However, after all, Li Yong is not a god with God's perspective. Even if he can determine the answer, it will take several times the time it takes now.

In fact, he used the system's territory building module to speed up the process.

In the territory construction module, there are items such as "Territorial Income and Expenditure" and "Resident Happiness". Through the data, Li Yong's doubts quickly became certain.

In addition, compared to this world, Li Yong's mathematics in his previous life was too advanced.At the same time, after being promoted to Chaofan, Li Yong's thinking ability was further strengthened.The brain is also a part of the body, and his physique is blessed with extraordinary blessings, and his thinking ability will naturally improve.

Therefore, people in this world need several days to check the completed ledger, and Li Yong can quickly calculate the result.

Lu Nuo looked slumped, and said, "My lord, how did you find out?"

Saying this sentence is tantamount to pleading guilty.As the mayor of the town but evading taxes, coupled with Lu Nuo's status as a commoner, it can be said that he will definitely die.

But Li Yong put down his wine glass, and said lightly: "This is not what you need to know. You just need to know that since I can find out the problem with the ledger so quickly, I will naturally have a way to keep those magical beasts that are extremely terrifying in your eyes."

Lu Nuo's eyes suddenly lit up.

What matters is Li Yong's attitude expressed in this sentence.

Li Yong smiled and said: "Merfeety deserves death. But this is my territory. Since you are still useful to me, I will not let you die."
