Genius Demon Empress
Chapter 253 Bandits? lord?
In recent months, Viscount Moore's life has been somewhat troublesome.
First, he was swayed by the "Beast God" of Ka Lanfeng. It was originally agreed that the "Beast God" would come forward to destroy Fontaine County, but until now there has been no news.
In a fit of anger, he smashed the statue of the "beast god" and never enshrined any "beast god".
The whereabouts of the old butler Bates, who he has been relying on to manage the territory, is unknown, so he has to face the mountains of things and books in the territory every day, and even the diva in the women's mansion has no time to flirt. .
Fortunately, just yesterday, his old housekeeper Bates Yin came back, but Bates Yin also brought back a huge piece of bad news.
"Basalt crystal cannon?" Viscount Moore sat down on the ground with his legs weak in fright.
With the basalt crystal cannon in Fontaine County, it can directly hit the basalt crystal cannon from Fengdan County to Bailu County.
"My lord, it is absolutely true that the basalt crystal cannon is in the lord's mansion. In order to tell you the news, this old servant escaped with great effort," the old butler Bates shook his head and sighed bitterly, "The old slave I also heard that the young lord of Fontaine County killed the beast god of Kalan Peak with that mysterious crystal cannon, and I heard that under the young lord, there are many alchemists who are good at using poison, "
The mysterious crystal cannon that can kill even "beast gods" is no wonder why there is no news from Ka Lanfeng for a while. Thinking about it this way, Viscount Moore believed Batesin's words even more.
He was like an ant on a hot pan, constantly rubbing his hands, what can he do, his county guard lost more than half in several confrontations.
He wanted to use the Beast God to deal with Fengdan County, but the Beast God also fell, and now the other party has a basalt crystal cannon. Putting all these things together, the young lord of unknown origin is too weird.
"Too bad, will he bombard the lord's mansion with cannons while the lord is sleeping one night?" Thinking of this, Viscount Moore was even more uneasy, "Also, will he send someone to attack the lord? Poison, if he had known that the other party had so many powerful means... then he should have enshrined that young lord just like how he flattered Duke Xueying Yue Nian back then."
Viscount Moore regretted it, and in the next few days, he had trouble sleeping and eating. He was afraid of being killed by the basalt crystal cannon when he fell asleep, and worried about being poisoned when he was awake.
For several days in a row, he was like this, and he also became in a trance.
On this day, the worried old housekeeper Bates Yin came up, "My lord, this is not going to work. The people have also heard about the basalt crystal cannon in Fontaine County, and there are many discussions every day. Some people have already He fled to Fontaine County overnight."
How could the Viscount Moore, who was kept in the dark, know that on the day the old butler Batesyin returned, there were a lot of notices on the street.
The content of the notice is very attractive:
Fontaine County provides private houses for free and encourages farming. Residents who move to Fontaine County within this month can enjoy tax relief for more than three years.
All babies from other counties born in Fontaine County are regarded as residents of this county. When they enter school at the right age, they will choose the alchemy school or the martial artist school.
For craftsmen with special skills, the Lord's Mansion will hire them at a monthly salary of ten gold coins.
All children born in Fontaine County and employed by the Lord's Mansion, regardless of gender, old or young, can enjoy the lifelong pension of the Lord's Mansion as long as they have worked for 15 years. If one person works, the whole family can enjoy the civil rights of Fontaine County.
For merchants and hunters, all businessmen and hunters in Fontaine County are exempted from tolls.
When the people of Bailu County saw these notices for the first time, they still couldn't believe it, but as people entered Fontaine County one after another, they brought back good news one by one, from smoke-free and bright, to blue snow used by every family. Candles, and then to the stone-eating fragrant pigs in Huituntian.
Some people couldn't sit still anymore, and began to secretly move their families out of Bailu County. Anyway, Bailu County is empty of defenses these days, and the lord is not doing anything.
"What, this kind of thing happened. This is a blatant plunder of people. He is so brave. I want, I want to write a letter to the Owawa Imperial City," Viscount Moore breathed out in his throat, neither up nor down , was almost not suffocated.
The mining of Blue Snow Field and the improvement of new types of profound beasts have brought stable income to Fontaine County.
What is the difference between Bailu County and Fontaine County today, and that is people.
In the technologically underdeveloped Canglong Continent, all labor and development depend on people, so when Viscount Moore heard that Fontaine County was blatantly plundering people in his own county, Viscount Moore finally couldn't help it.
He thought of the last rescuer, that is the Owawa Imperial Capital.
There are regulations in the imperial capital's inner name document, and the lord can regard the people and land under his fiefdom as his property.
"I want to go to the imperial capital of Owa overnight to inform the wise monarch. The counterfeit in Fontaine County not only pretends to be a descendant of the Duke's mansion, but also dares to violate the iron law of the empire and rob my people," said Viscount Moore. Losing consciousness, he was talking nonsense: "Betzin, write a letter for me immediately, and write down the bad deeds of the fake lord one by one."
"Yes, my lord," Batesyin pushed it down, and wrote a letter in a short while. Like the countless annual reports of the territory in the past, it was still read by Batesyin, and finally signed by Viscount Moore.
With a swipe of Viscount Moore's pen, Old Bates bowed and retreated, and sent the letter to the Owawa Imperial Capital.
About five days later, the household department of the Owa Imperial Capital received a letter. The content of the letter was roughly as follows: Viscount Moore has been busy with the affairs of the territory all the year round, and fell to the root of his illness. Butler Bates is due to handle.
"The Viscount Moore just likes to find all kinds of excuses. When did he take care of Bailu County?" an official said.
Thousands of miles away in the imperial capital of Owa, the officials of the household department are still unaware of the changes that have taken place in Fontaine County and Bailu County. The officials of the household department have long been familiar with Viscount Moore's ability to govern Bailu County.
"As long as the tax is paid on time, it doesn't matter who is the lord," said a fat tax official.
"Have you heard that Fontaine County has not paid taxes for a long time. It is said that the imperial capital plans to send a new tax official there. If it is said that taxes are not paid, the household department will seal up the territory and appoint a new lord. "None of the tax officials who have made a lot of money in the Owawa Imperial Capital are willing to go over the mountains to the Xuanshou Ridge to collect taxes, so only the new tax officials who are evil will be assigned there.
"Which one dares to go? I heard that the mysterious beast ridge is not flat recently, unless there are knights from the Dragon Knights who are willing to accompany you." The fat tax official picked up the seal, stamped it, and agreed Viscount Moore's request.
