Fel doesn't lie to you

Chapter 265 Lack of talent

There are quite a lot of rooms in this palace. Although many of them are those of the 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 lived in it, but it was just used as a spare room for Li Ke and the others to live in.

Naturally, Li Ke was not in a hurry to rest. He called the housekeeper here and wanted to ask some questions, but he refused to answer, so Li Ke just had to kill him, and then asked another maid who was willing to answer to help him deal with the palace. things.

With the help of these maids, Li Ke found what he wanted.

The tax ledger, as well as the small ledgers of the nobles themselves, and several detailed maps named Tax Town.

Well, the name of this town is so unpretentious, like New York - New York means New Yorkshire, and York means wild boar breeder.

So South American SJZ, Qingdao (Greenland), Lishui (Fontainbleau), Baoji (Phoenix), and Wangzitun (Princeton) exist.

The people of Azeroth are still very simple in naming. For example, Stormwind City, where the wind is really strong, and because of geographical reasons, there are often storms. Basically, the climate reference is Guangshen. No problem.

Li Ke carefully looked at the tax town, or the map of Ruifaning, and found that this place is indeed very suitable as a stronghold. Of course, it is not a stronghold in the minds of Azerothians.

There are water sources in all directions here, and almost all of them are plains, so factories and farms can be built casually.

And it's not far from the forest, just need to build a lumber camp, in fact there is a lumber camp there, but Li Ke passed by there when they came, and there was nothing there except a shed.

"It seems that a large number of people will be recruited..."

Li Ke knocked on the table made of mahogany. Although he is not short of money, he does have some problems with the current capital turnover, which can be alleviated only after the sorceress arrives.

Therefore, when he recruited these refugees, he couldn't afford money as a reward.

"But it's not a big problem, just use tax compensation. Those who help out for a month will reduce their tax by one layer, and those who join the militia will reduce their tax by half a month. This will solve this problem. The rest of the money It’s enough to turn around. And just when the craftsmen and laborers are gathered, the nobles can be taken out and hanged to vent their anger..."

Li Ke thought for a while and came up with a solution. As for food, there really would be no shortage. After all, not all farmers could enjoy tax exemption.

At that time, when the tax team is sent out, the food will naturally be collected, and before that, the supplies they brought are still sufficient, enough to feed a 1000-man army for three months.

"But now we really need to plan carefully."

Li Ke looked at the map. Most of the western wilderness was used as arable land, and only a small part was divided into pastures, but now it is also abandoned because of the Defias thieves.

"The grazing of cattle and sheep has to be restarted... As for the chickens, let's raise some of them free-range first... They all need manpower. So we need to build something first, so that everyone is willing to come and use it..."

Li Ke had some headaches, he needed to do some good things to get these people to recognize him, and then do big things, and finally get those nobles out and hang him to push his reputation to the highest.

But the problem is that this "one" is not very easy to do. Now that I have arrested all grassroots officials like tax officials, the people below may not recognize you. Only you have done something, or directly brought troops to an armed battle Parade, they will believe you are the new in charge.

Li Ke couldn't help but look at the maid standing silently beside him. This is a typical blonde girl with delicate and shiny skin. She didn't have any stage fright when facing Li Ke. She was from a big family at first glance. Born maid.

It was also because the other party was very sensible and brought him what he needed, and didn't let him continue to kill.

So Li Ke asked her directly.

"Do you know what the people in this town lack the most?"

The maid glanced at Li Ke, saluted first, and then spoke slowly.

"Dear Mr. Li Ke, the residents of Ruifaning Town, what they need most now are free mills and bakeries, as well as a qualified blacksmith shop. After all, it is almost time for the autumn harvest. If there is a new mill and blacksmith shop, it is impossible for the people in a dozen surrounding villages and farms to harvest and process their own wheat in time. If there is no bakery, they will not have enough fuel to keep warm in winter, and Frozen to death to bake bread... You must know why?"

Li Ke nodded. Of course he knew that a mill could not be built casually, especially an imitation that could crush grain into powder in one go, which was not something ordinary farmers could afford.

As for my own stone mill, although it is simple, it is incomparable compared with the waterwheel mill, and it can save a lot of time.

In the situation of less people and more land in the western wilderness, time is food and money.

As for the bakery, it is even simpler.

Because of fuel, not everyone has a stove that can bake bread, and has the ability to bake bread by themselves. Most people buy flour and give it to the baker in the bakery to bake.

In poor places, it was the lord who came forward to set up free or chargeable bakeries.

And decent bread is not the fragrant and sweet bread that people in the Celestial Dynasty eat, but 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 would not know
"The bakery and blacksmith shop in the town were destroyed by my former master, even the waterwheel was destroyed, in order to be able to collect a sum of money later, so if you want to pay for the If people do something, the best way is to repair these things, or open the bakery in the castle, and..."

The maid was a little nervous and didn't know whether she should continue. Li Ke raised her head and encouraged her before the maid continued.

"The goblins are coming soon, so I think you should think about countermeasures in this regard."

The maid will not talk about it here, obviously, she knows how to measure.

"It's a pity that people like you only work as maids."

Li Ke applauded and looked at the maid. He admired this kind of smart person very much.

"Interested in becoming the mayor of Dame Jennifer? Miss Maid."

　The biggest impact of the discontinuation of World of Warcraft is.

　　Finding information has become extremely difficult...
