Happy people from Blue Star

Chapter 107 Small and Cute

At this moment, the faces of everyone present finally changed.

Except for the more powerful professionals, no one is afraid of the plague.

Even if Priest Guangming possesses the magic skill of 'dispelling disease', it can't stop people's fear of the plague.

Because exorcising disease is first of all a relatively high-level spell, proportionally speaking, there are not many priests who master exorcising disease, and one priest out of a hundred is not bad.

Then, once a plague occurs, the priests will definitely protect the interests of the church first, and then help outsiders.

In this way, outsiders will have less chance of getting help, and even if outsiders are helped, the noble class will be given priority.

In addition to Hardy, everyone here said they were gentry, but in reality, they were all just ordinary people with some money or some right to speak in their own industries.

"But it's just that some civilians died." A man frowned and retorted. He felt that Hardy was alarmist: "There is no phenomenon that a large number of citizens died here."

"The plague also needs to be formed." Hardy sneered: "Good luck this time does not mean that you will have such good luck next time."

Some people are against it, and of course some people are in favor of it.

The well-dressed old man said thoughtfully: "No wonder every time there is a heavy rain, the city always transports a lot of corpses outside the city. I thought they were drowned, so that's what happened. If it is In that case, I agree to build the drain."

Someone also asked: "Lord, what do you mean? You want us to donate money to repair the city's drains?"

"This city of Hukaro belongs to me, not yours. Why do you want your money?" Hardy looked puzzled.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

In fact, before they invited them here for a 'meeting', many people had passed their anger in private and made various speculations about the significance of Hardy's holding this 'meeting'.

Pay close attention to taxation and give them power, they can all understand.

But not asking them to offer 'money' is contrary to their intuitive common sense.

Hardy ignored their shocked expressions and continued: "I'm just giving you some air. Building a drainage canal is a relatively time-consuming process. During this period, some road sections may be blocked for a short time, which will affect you. commercial income, but it’s irresistible, you’d better not disagree.”

Of course they don't have a problem, as long as Hardy doesn't let them donate money, they don't have a problem at all.

Seeing everyone's happy faces, Hardy knew that the matter was settled.

If he proposed to build the canal at the beginning, knowing that it might affect his income, these people would naturally object.

However, Hardy paid attention to taxation first, and then recovered the salt monopoly, giving people the illusion that he wanted to get a lot of money.

At this time, they are willing to raise the drain again, as long as Hardy doesn't want them to have any more 'losses'.

Mr. Zhou Shuren's teachings are also applicable in other worlds.

"Then next, Sheriff Li Shaoer is responsible for protecting and supervising the migrant workers who built the canal, understand?"

The magistrate subconsciously stood up, saluted respectfully, and took over the matter.

There's no way, he's terrified of Hardy now.

180 whips... Although it wasn't fatal, the pain was so painful that he could hardly sleep every day for a month. He didn't want to experience that painful feeling again.

In fact, Hardy doesn't really want to use this sheriff anymore, but this person does have some ability.

The second is... Hardy has too few people who can be trusted.

No way, he rose too fast.

It only took about a year for the Hardy family to go from rich merchant, to knight, to baron, and now to viscount.

Really too fast.

This makes his basic plate not very stable.

In particular, manpower is very scarce.

Even the sheriff who made a mistake had to be kept and let him help out.

The 'meeting' ended soon. Hardy returned to the castle and was working on the schedule. He needed to call farmers from villages and towns near the city to form a construction team.

If there is someone under his command, he doesn't need to do it himself.

"I guess he is the least noble Viscount."

Hardy shook his head helplessly.

While he was pitying himself, a middle-aged maid knocked on the door and came in, saying, "Hardy Your Excellency, there is a professional named Bing Xixi outside who wants to meet you, and he says he is a friend with you."

And Xixi?
What is he doing here?
"Ask him to wait for me in the main hall."

The middle-aged maid took the order to leave.

Hardy deliberately waited for a while before going down.

It's not that he wants to show off on purpose, but as an NPC nobleman, this way is more in line with the setting.

He went down to the main hall on the first floor and saw Bing Xixi eating honey bread there.

He should have asked the maid for it on his own initiative.

Seeing that he was indeed Hardy's 'friend', the maid naturally would not refuse this request.

It fits the player's 'style' very well.

After Hardy went down, he smiled and said, "Long time no see, Your Excellency Xixi, the immortal warrior."

Bing Xixi swallowed a few mouthfuls of honey bread, stood up and said, "It's been about a month, Your Excellency Hardy."

"Sit down, don't be so stiff."

"You are now a viscount, and a powerful figure at the lord level. It's better for me to stand." Bingxi said with a half-true smile.

"You dare to offend the Lion family, but my little Viscount dare not do anything to you." Ha Di smiled and waved his hands, and asked, "How is the situation of the Atonement Society?"

Bing Xixi sat down as she said, and said, "Now there is no Atonement Society anymore, they have all become your people."

Everyone in the Redemption Society was allocated fields and household registrations, and Hardy fulfilled his promise.

Therefore, I do not personally recognize Hardy now.

I think he is a rare good man among nobles.

"I thought there was something wrong with the Atonement Society." Hardy asked strangely, "So what's the matter with you this time?"

"I'm here to ask His Excellency Hardy for advice."

Ok?
Hardy looked puzzled.

"Didn't you tell me last time that there will be a nightmare saddle in the Atonement?"

Hardy nodded: "Yes, you got it?"

"I did get it, but it's a little different from what I imagined."

"What a different method!"

"It's hard for me to explain in words, why don't I go out to the courtyard and show it to you myself?"

"can."

The two went out to the courtyard, stood on the grass, and Xixi took a deep breath and raised her right hand high.

Small pieces of dark elements gathered around, forming a black cocoon, and then the black cocoon exploded, and a nightmare knight appeared in front of Hardy.

Time seemed to have stopped, and Hardy was motionless.

After a while, Hardy's cheeks twitched, and the smile on his face kept spreading.

In the end, I couldn't help laughing.

Because a miniature nightmare knight appeared in front of him.

Very mini.

Nightmare Knight is essentially a 'magic elemental' body.

The summoner's body is replaced in a random space, and then the consciousness is attached to the elemental body for 'manipulation'.

So... In a sense, the figure of the Nightmare Knight can violate the common sense of biology.

It can be big...and of course it can be small.
