Evil will not deceive you

But Li Ke immediately discovered that Lagertha was indeed a very qualified maid, or in other words, a high-level talent that had been buried.

She first suggested that Li Ke pay each maid and male servant six months' salary, then she found three coachmen who had families and houses in the local area, gave them half of her gold coins, and then asked them to The three soldiers carrying the sapphire and Li Ke went to their hometowns together, and brought home letters from others and money sent back.

Of course, she also asked her parents to add a leaf of a plant whose name Li Ke didn't know in her reply, but even though she didn't know the name and effect, Li Ke could more or less guess what it was for.

Measuring time.

Looking at it now, her actions can be considered flawless, whether it is her family, her original master, or Li Ke.

This is considered a reasonable explanation.

To her original master, she temporarily preserved her original master. To her own family, she sent money and news to make them run away in advance, and to the family she was originally loyal to...

The messenger delivers the message openly and honestly.

"Am I right? Miss Lagertha. But don't worry, I don't mind if you let those people pass the news. After all, I know very well that I forced you to serve me, so I don't mind if you give Leave a way out for yourself."

Li Ke looked at Lagertha who was trembling a little during his analysis, but still couldn't hold back his smile.

It is precisely because of experiencing such things that Li Ke understands how kind it is to allow the other party to leave a way out.

At the beginning, the old leader wanted to give him a way out, and he would not be in a hurry to kill the other party.

As for the other party's confusion about his old master's family, Li Ke didn't even care.

What good would it gain Lagertha to remain loyal to her old master?

If she continues to be loyal, her upper limit is to be a mistress. If the offspring is a daughter, she will still be a mistress, while a boy will be a retinue or housekeeper at most.

But he could give her more, a position as a powerful mayor, an opportunity to participate in the decision-making process, and an opportunity to obtain a noble title.

Of course, apart from the position of mayor, everything else depends on her own efforts, otherwise she will be the end of being a mayor.

Smart people feel that they are worth more, especially those who have tasted the sweetness. And if a leader is confident that he can lead everyone forward, he will not care about such things.

Of course, betrayal by a central character is not allowed, but Lagertha is far from being a central character.

She is just the central figure for the time being.

"I'm sorry, Master Li Ke, after all, I'm just a nobody."

Lagertha bowed slightly, feeling relieved in her heart, but Jennifer on the side was a little unhappy, because she wanted to become a mayor so that she could be more important to Li Ke, but Li Ke gave a maid.

This made her a little angry, so her attitude towards Lagertha was not very good.

"Okay, let's talk about the situation here, Lagertha. How many people are there in our tax town? How is the harvest? How much does it cost to build the things you suggested to me before?"

Li Ke saw Jennifer's jealousy, his smile appeared directly, and he even raised his coffee cup towards Jennifer.

Lagertha, who had not yet changed out of her maid uniform, began to show off her professional maid qualities.

"There are still about 1,200 people in Taxation Town. Many people have left here because of, well, the plunder of the Defias thieves. The Chamber of Commerce in the town also left because of this, but I know their responsible person who stayed here. People, if you are willing to meet the people they stay here and are willing to help them rebuild their houses here, there is a high probability that they will be willing to come back. As for the harvest, this year’s harvest is pretty good, per hectare of land There can be about 800 kilograms of grain, plus the surrounding villages, theoretically this year the tax town can collect 800,000 kilograms of grain, 4,000 cattle and 5,000 sheep, as well as 1,000 horses and 10,000 pigs . As for chickens and ducks, it depends on the situation at that time, but there are about 20,000 to 30,000 every year. As for the minerals, I don’t know. This is the responsibility of other people. "

"Before the Defias bandits came, there were about 1.2 million people in the Western Wilderness every year. However, there were not many farmers in the Western Wilderness at that time, so if the Western Wilderness was fully developed, there should be 300 people. Ten thousand catties of grain, 14,000 cattle, 20,000 sheep, 5,000 horses, 60,000 pigs, chickens and ducks, I can’t be sure, but based on speculation, there should be more than 100,000.”

Jennifer immediately covered her heart. In fact, she was already covering her heart when Lagertha revealed the income of Tax Town.

Because this is still part of the income of her territory!

There are seven or eight such towns in her territory!

"But if it is the goblins who collect the money, then we will only have 600,000 catties of reimbursement. The actual collection is 700,000 catties. This is what we had agreed with the goblins before, and then each family will share 100% of it. Ninety, the rest will start to calculate the taxes of Stormwind City and the Holy Light Church. Moreover, most of the food, cattle and sheep will be sold directly to the goblins, some will be sold locally, and only one third will be shipped to Stormwind City. .As for the commercial tax, it is directly handed over by all the young masters. I only know that about 60,000 to 80,000 gold coins are accounted for every year, but I don’t know more details."

The maid lady directly told what kind of tricks these nobles were playing here, and Jennifer opened her mouth wide. She felt that her heart was about to stop beating, because these people were really, really... really... So good at playing!

She finally understood why Li Ke was so decisive in killing people. Such a fortune is enough for anyone in this world to kill someone!

At the same time, she also had doubts in her mind, that is why Sir Prestor would exchange such a piece of land with them. The land of Jon's family does not even provide one-fifth of the income here!

Her mind was in chaos, thinking of a series of power struggles.

But unfortunately, it is far from the real image.

She didn't even understand why Varian would allow Li Ke to expand. She didn't see clearly that Varian allowing Li Ke to continue to expand was actually a big pitfall in this era.

Pioneering is not that simple.

She was not surprised to see Li Ke, but Lagertha was secretly stunned in her heart. She had never seen someone so calm in front of such huge interests.

But what she didn't know was that after hearing these numbers, Li Ke just glanced at the nearly 350,000 square kilometers of land in the Western Wilderness, and an idea slowly came to his mind.

"That's it?"

Sorry for being late…

I was dizzy yesterday and couldn't hold on. It was still there at night.
