Such a huge territory has almost caught up with the territory of some small countries.
But it's a pity that in such a large territory, the only area where there are fireworks is Qingyuan Town. The rest of the land is desolate forests and hills.
After thinking for a while, Gudern turned his attention to the tax issue and asked Joseph.
"I remember there is a tax in the town every year?"
"Yes, young master. In the past years, except for the taxes that need to be paid to the empire, you will use the rest for the operation of the town. This year's tax collection date will have to wait for about two months. I'm afraid there is no way to help pay off the debt."
The meaning of Joseph's words is also very clear. If you want to rely on taxes to get through the problem, I'm afraid the day lilies will be cold.
Gooden didn't care about this either.
"Don't worry about Charlieson, I have a solution."
Looking at the confident young master, Joseph was not easily offended and said softly.
"I hope so, but if it really goes to the arbitration court, Master, you just need to say that there is a problem with the mine developed with the loan, and this matter may turn around."
"Yes." Gooden nodded slightly, "Old Joseph, go get ready and go out for a walk with me later."
"Can……"
Before Joseph could finish speaking, Gudern interrupted.
"I'll be active around the area and won't be too far away."
Helpless, Joseph had no choice but to prepare.
He has almost figured out the general situation of Qingyuan Town, and the next step is to conduct on-site investigation.
As a visitor from another world, in this magical medieval setting, Gooden has countless ideas for making a fortune in his mind. After all, nine years of compulsory education is not free.
It was a bit difficult to collect three hundred gold coins from scratch within a week, but with the help of plug-ins that modified the entries, Gudern was still very confident.
But before that, he still had to conduct on-the-spot investigation to get a feel for the basic operating rules of the alien world.
After all, rashly choosing a development direction without understanding the world may have the opposite effect.
But as long as you have a general understanding of the basic operations of this world, the next money-making plan can be launched quickly.
After finalizing the plan, Gudern was ready to change into light armor for outdoor use.
Although this is in a small town, this outfit is still necessary to avoid accidents.
Compared to that sky-high-priced long sword, this piece of equipment is pretty solid. Judging from the panel, it's a serious piece of armor.
When he was about to put on the armor, Gudern was dumbfounded. He didn't know how to wear it at all!
Or maybe it's because someone else had to help him put it on before, so it's still difficult for one person to put on the entire set of armor.
In desperation, Gudern had to call Irene to help.
But unfortunately, Irene doesn't know how to wear armor, and she didn't do this job in the past.
For a while, Gudern couldn't find anyone else to help, so he had to ask Eileen to try to help.
There was no urgent work in hand, so Eileen nodded and agreed.
Touching the metallic armor, Irene was a little excited. This was her first time touching this kind of thing.
Seeing Irene looking around curiously, Gudern was moved in his heart and asked.
"Are you interested in this stuff?"
Erin was a little embarrassed when asked.
"When I was young, I wasn't interested in stories about princes saving princesses. I always thought of becoming a knight to save these unfortunate princesses."
"Later I found that it was too difficult to do, because the cheapest knight equipment costs twenty gold coins, and it is also heavy and airtight..."
Gooden couldn't help laughing when he heard this reason. Was this the reason that troubled her to become a legendary knight?
Let's get back to talking, I've been very diligent in wearing armor. Although I haven't worn anything like this, have I ever eaten pork and never seen a pig run away?
Using the memory of her previous life and her experience in movies and TV shows, she directed Irene to help her.
After a while of fussing, he finally put on the armor.
I don't know if it was because of the modification of the entry, but Gudern felt that the armor seemed to be a little smaller and a little uncomfortable to wear.
After changing his clothes, Gudern ordered two soldiers with reasonable loyalty to go out to investigate with him, and set off with the prepared old Joseph.
He mounted his war horse, recalled the essentials of riding a horse, and walked slowly towards the gate of the castle.
After walking out of the gate, Gudern discovered that the castle was built on a hill, and the so-called Qingyuan Town was built around the castle.
Looking down from above, there are a circle of old houses scattered around. The disorderly appearance shows that no planning has been done.
Gudern, who was already mentally prepared, sighed silently.
For such a backward place, describing it as a small town would only exaggerate its status.
Chapter 8 Elegance, timeless
Holding the reins, he controlled the horse under his hips to move forward slowly.
Qingyuan Town is built around the castle, but there is still a certain distance between the two sides for isolation.
Entering the town, a street leading to nowhere appears in front of you.
At the same time, a sour smell came from all directions. The unprepared Gudern was almost knocked to the ground by the smell.
Here he truly felt the customs from the Middle Ages in another world.
Both sides of the muddy road were mixed with human and animal feces, plus various types of sewage. An indescribable smell lingered on the streets.
Only then did Gooden understand why his predecessor loved to run to big cities so much. In this environment, every time he went out was a kind of torture.
With road and environmental improvement plans in mind, Gooden slowed down his breathing and reduced the number of air exchanges with the outside world.
At the same time, he couldn't help but speed up his horse and headed straight for his destination.
If you want to understand the underlying conditions of this world, the best place to visit is the tavern.
Here you can see a condensed picture of the society in another world, and you can also know what their living standards are like.
The appearance of Gudern and his party quickly attracted the attention of the residents, and everyone was a little surprised when they saw Gudern.
"Hey, isn't that Lord Lord? Didn't it say that he was seriously injured and about to die? What's going on?"
"It's true. Could it be that the news that came out before was false?"
"It's impossible. A few days ago, I saw with my own eyes that the lord was brought back covered in blood. He wouldn't be able to survive no matter what."
"Hey, do you think he is a brother from his family? I have been here for so long, and I haven't seen any of his family come to visit him."
"It's really possible. Maybe Master Gudern is dead, and the lord here will have to change in the future..."
Rumors among the people were suddenly developing rapidly towards various magical versions. Qingyuan Town only had a small population, and within a short time, various versions were circulating in the town.
The protagonist Gudern has just arrived at the tavern. It is noon and there are not many people in the tavern.
But when they saw Gooden's arrival, both the waiters and the drinkers were a little surprised.
After entering the tavern, Gudern took a tentative breath. Although the smell of ale and various kinds of wine was a bit strange, it was much better than on the street.
Returning to normal breathing, Gudern walked straight towards the bar.
Carol, who was eating a big meal in the corner of the tavern, suddenly stiffened when she saw Gooden.
Didn’t you say you haven’t woken up yet? Then tell me who is this person in front of me?
Thinking of his tough attitude in the castle just now, Carol suddenly felt a little scared. Could it be that the other party was really coming to kill people and silence them?
In the flash of lightning, Carol quickly lowered her head and curled up to make herself less obvious.
'Damn it, if I had known I wouldn't have come to eat, I would have just left...'
At this moment, Carol felt very regretful. Why did she come back to have a meal before leaving, but was blocked in the tavern by Gooden.
The unaware Gudern did not notice Carol in the corner. He came to the bar and looked around, but did not find that there was such a thing as a menu.
At this moment, it suddenly occurred to me that this is a backward frontier area of the empire. There are only a few people who can read here, and no one can understand things like setting menus.
Seeing Gudern in a daze, the waiter at the bar asked.
"Lord, what do you need?"
Returning to God, Gudern thought for a while and said.
"Well, just tell me what you have, and bring the price."
After hearing this request, the waiter didn't think much and started to tell Gudern his own menu.
"The medium cup of ale costs five copper coins, the large cup seven copper coins, the extra large cup ten copper coins..."
"Two copper coins for hard bread, five copper coins for a bowl of vegetable soup..."
Listening to the price menu reported by the other party, Gooden silently calculated in his heart.
One gold coin was equal to one hundred silver coins, and one silver coin was equal to one hundred copper coins.
Judging from the prices in bars, the purchasing power of a silver coin is still very strong.
If you just need to fill your stomach, you may not even need 10 copper coins a day.
The bar owner learned of Master Gooden's arrival and quickly went to serve him personally.
"Your Majesty, the lord, is here. Do you need something to drink?"
The bar owner said, pulling on the waiter's clothes and motioning for him to get down.
I already had pretty much what I wanted to know, so I simply ordered four glasses of ale to taste the flavor of the other world.
"Four ales."
"Okay, four glasses of ale," the bar owner repeated loudly, then quietly glanced at the waiter on the side.
The waiter who got the hint understood what the boss meant and went straight to the back to get four glasses of unadulterated ale.
The pure aroma of malt spread out from the glass, and some old drunkards in the bar couldn't help but be shocked when they smelled it.
Looking at these four glasses of pure ale, the guests in the store couldn't help but say something.
"Old Mike, why didn't you add water to the ale this time?"
