Naria sighed helplessly. Although they had only been together for a few days, she had already developed a sense of belonging to this powerful and helpful adventurous team. However, the reality is often cruel, and she also knows that her personal strength is too poor, even if she reluctantly follows, it will only become a drag.

Seeing the sad appearance of this "eldest lady", Henry smiled and shook his head. "Don't be discouraged, young people need to show some vitality. If you don't mind, I can give you some pointers. ”

"Listen to it, you know, I'm very demanding, if it's a merchant or a mercenary. Although the Deanies family lost their land, there was still enough property for me to spend. As she spoke, Naria gently stroked the heirloom ring she had inherited from her father. Anyone can see that her love is a little low.

"How's it going to be in politics? With Sir de Anies' connections, you can get a pretty good position in a short time. This will not only satisfy your desire to change the status quo of Am, but also help more poor people. Under my protection, I believe that no one dares to be rude to you, at most you will use some means to suppress you. ”

Henry finally reveals his true purpose. With the rise of the Baldur's Gate region in the north, it is bound to have an impact on the surrounding countries. Among them, Waterdeep City has become an ally, and it has also formed a certain complementarity in trade, as for Cormier, there is no need to worry, the Cape of Storm Mountain Range makes the two countries not have much communication at all. In the end, what remains is Am, which has the greatest conflict of interest and is most likely to have a direct confrontation in the future.

In his plan, this neighborhood must be weakened, divided, and even destroyed. Otherwise, it is always a huge hidden danger. Perhaps it would be a good choice to set off a class antagonism and insurrection in this country. Therefore, Denaria, who advocates freedom and equality, has become a pawn that can be used.

Once the political situation is turbulent. Am's merchants found that their lives and property were not guaranteed at all, and they were bound to flee in large numbers. The more chaotic Tessers and Karinshan in the south were obviously not a good choice, and the Turmis and Cormiers in the east clearly did not attach much importance to commerce, so Baldur's Gate in the north was the only option.

Henry believed that with his own means and business knowledge, he could take this opportunity to secretly suck blood on Am, and by the time the upper rulers noticed, it would be too late. At that time, these guys not only did not dare to turn their faces, but also relied on him to send troops to deal with Tesser, who took advantage of the fire to rob.

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

Judging from the situation of the large-scale outbreak of the poor revolution in Europe on the earth, there are generally two possibilities: first, the huge gap between the rich and the poor, and second, the precarious life of the people of the lower classes. Obviously, Amm has both. And there is also a huge underground criminal organization here, and many people have to accept another layer of exploitation.

Even in Ascatla. Henry could also feel the great resentment gathering in the crowd. Now these poor people only need an experienced leader to unite them and immediately burst into unimaginable power. At that time, if Amm directly sends troops to suppress it, although it can keep the upper elite group, the population will be greatly lost. If you choose to compromise, the situation will be even harsher. Not only will countless merchants run away, but even the aristocracy will be disappointed in the country.

Naria lowered her head and thought about it for a long time, and she could see anticipation, excitement, hesitation, and nervousness in her eyes, until she was about to enter a farmhouse before she replied solemnly: "Your construction is very good, but I need to think about it seriously." Rest assured, I'll give you an accurate answer when we get rid of the Ronorr family. ”

"No problem. It just so happens that Shantil and I need to recuperate for a few days, so I can give you some political tricks so that you don't get caught up in the game by those cunning veterans. After saying that, the corners of Henry's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a playful smile.

He believed that as long as he instilled some special thoughts on the earth, the actions of the girl in front of him would definitely be regarded as a savior by the poor. In a few years, a force will unite around her that will make any ruler tremble, and will these people who have nothing be willing to continue to live at the bottom of society? Of course not, they will stand up and demand a share of power, and then there will inevitably be a conflict with the original rights holders, and a great riot that will sweep the whole of Amm will naturally be born.

The two of them went to the door of the farmhouse and knocked hard, and after a few minutes, a farmer carefully opened the door with a fork. When he saw Naria, he immediately lost his voice and shouted: "The goddess of the earth is above, respected eldest lady, why are you here?" I've heard that the castle has been overrun by a bunch of monsters, are they now repulsed? ”

"Yes, the enemies entrenched there have been wiped out, but my father died at the hands of monsters."

"Oh! Oh my God! That's bad news. Sir de Anies is a good and good man, and may his soul rest in the kingdom of the gods. The farmer put his hand over his chest and saluted respectfully. His eyes were full of sincerity, and at first glance, he respected his lord from the bottom of his heart.

Naria politely returned the favor. "Thank you very much for your blessings, Jon, and I am sure that my father would be very happy to find out. But this time I came mainly to buy some food and meat, and I would like to introduce you to the gentleman next to him, who will be the new owner of this land in the future. ”

"New owner?!!" The farmer had a shocked expression on his face, and then immediately stammered, "Are you......?" Do you mean to say that this ...... later It doesn't belong to the Deanies anymore?!! ”

"That's right. In order not to let this land fall 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 would only be 40 percent at most, and there would be no other taxes under all these names. ”

For the sake of secrecy, Naria did not directly state 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, before killing the Ronorr family, it is better not to be known by outsiders.

The farmer's eyes lit up when he heard the forty percent tax, and he hurriedly bowed to the new lord of the locality. "You are a kind and generous man, and allow me to express to you the highest respect on behalf of the farmers here."

"Thank you for the compliment, but there are still a lot of hungry people in the castle, so why don't we go to your corral and buy some eggs and vegetables?" Henry said with a smile on his face. He knew very well that the main reason why the farmer was so respectful was that the taxes had been lowered. It is foreseeable that the Deanies family will continue to influence the people living here in the future, at least for a year.

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

Henry listened with a smile on his face, promising to send someone to fix the problems as soon as the castle was back in working order. No way, who would have let the land around here be close to the tributaries around Lake Esmere. If we don't repair it quickly, once the large-scale rains begin, the flood will definitely flood. Rather than spending a lot of money every year to help farmers, it would be better to rebuild the water system all at once.

After receiving the new lord's affirmative reply, Jon happily said a lot of thanks. When he reached the barn, he pointed to the five pigs, a cow, six sheep, and a pack horse.

"These are all my domestic animals here, one gold coin for each sheep, three gold coins for pigs, and cattle and horses are essential for farm work, so they cannot be sold. There were plenty of chickens, ducks, eggs and vegetables, and I could put them in the car and take them straight to the castle if I needed them. ”

From this farmer's home, it can be seen that most of the people here live well, although they are not very rich, at least there is no problem with food and clothing. After a brief negotiation, Henry swept away all the livestock, including oxen and pack horses, for a hundred gold coins. In addition, he orders a large number of fresh vegetables, poultry, eggs and cereals here.

By the time the two left, Jon's house was left with little left except for unripe wheat and a handful of vegetables. This purchase allowed him to earn at least forty gold coins, which is more than the sum of his income in the past three years.

After returning to the castle, Henry cooked a large table of breakfast for everyone. As for Oroxes and Ortagos, they couldn't bear it anymore and turned into a dragon directly in the yard and killed the domestic animals. An hour later, apart from a little blood on the ground, not a single bone remained. After eating and drinking, the two guys regained their human form, and they found a corner and lay down to sleep. It takes at least a week or so for them to digest so much meat.

After breakfast, Narya, Ammon and Sheena set out for Esmirtaran, saying that they were to hire a new steward, a number of male and female servants, a captain of the guard, and a hundred or so soldiers for the castle. Henry also felt justified, so he gave them five thousand gold coins. After all, the rewards of this adventure are quite lucrative, and there is no need to treat your teammates badly.
