Chapter 206

"What happened to sister?" Mink is beside her, asking with concern.

"Ah!" Hua Ruge sighed again and said bitterly, "have you heard of any city that does not collect taxes?"

Mink shook his head and said, "I don't understand."

"The operation of the city depends on the tax revenue. Soldiers and officials need to support it. Money is spent everywhere. If I don't collect tax, I will have no money." Hua Ruge explained patiently, and also expressed the depression in his heart.

"Then what?" Mink is obviously more concerned about the results.

"There's still some money on the city's books. These days, there are many more copycats. It shouldn't be a problem to survive for a year. But if I don't earn income this year, I'll take the next year's money."

Hua Ruge began to feel hurt before she had to pay.

It's not a problem for her money to support a city for many years, but for a financial fan, it's killing her to pay for it.

Mink has no idea about it, but she cares about her mood.

He pointed to his belt and said, "here you are."

Hua Ruge, who has been with him for so long, knows that it is a storage belt. There is space in the purple jade inlaid on the belt.

She doesn't know what's in it, but it must be his whole family.

His eyes on Hua Ruge are clear. He just wants to make Hua Ruge happy. Only in front of her can he put away his wild nature, like a child who depends on her.

Hua Yuege said with a laugh: "silly child, what do you do for me?"

"I have you." Mink said it was very natural.

Hua Ruge blinks. After thinking for a long time, she doesn't know what to say.

"Don't be unhappy."

"Why?"

“……”

It seems that the problem has baffled the mink. He has been silent, lying on the wall with Hua Ruge, as if thinking.

Hua Yuege goes to touch his head and feels better.

In the days after that, the soldiers were completely taken over by Hua Ruge, because they are also people in the city. Now there is no tax in the city, which is a gift for their families, and their life will be much better.

Only when the current Lord is present, they will have such treatment, so they decided to guard Hua Ruge and keep the ancient dragon city good.

Hua Ruge checked that there were only over 10000 troops in the ancient dragon city, and her Lord had a long way to go because she did not fight for a long time and wanted to grow stronger.

There are also some slavers and mercenaries under the Vice City Lord. Hua Ruge's treatment is simple.

The slavers were killed because they could not stay to gain the friendship of other people.

As for the mercenaries who followed the Vice City Lord, i.e. to live in a mess, Hua rugo promised that when they took over the task in the future, another 30% of the tax would be reduced to 10%. These people immediately began to support Hua rugo.

The so-called alliance is just to combine people with interests. Hua Ruge knows the truth, breaks down, reorganizes and wins people's love.

And this simple and crude tactics can be summed up in one sentence, that is: money willful!

She doesn't mind sacrificing first. When the city is strong, it will have everything.

In the meantime, she has a lot to prepare.

She asked all the foreign people who were kept in the house by the slavers and the city officials to come back. There were more than one hundred of them, half of them were elves and half were wingers.

Hua Ruge had been entertained for a few days and tried to make a friendly gesture. When these foreigners relaxed their vigilance a little, she appeared.

First of all, I would like to express my heartache for their encounter, and then apologize for their late arrival. Finally, I would like to emphasize my friendly attitude, sincere communication, and the urgent attitude of communicating with each other.

The foreign people said they were very moved and said on the spot that they would propose to come here as long as they returned to the tribe.

So Hua rugo sent people to escort them back, and then he was waiting for the news.

These alien people are afraid of being caught by human beings. They are afraid that they will not immediately believe in human friendliness, so they can only penetrate slowly.

On the barbarian side, Hua rugo gave them a large area of land to build houses on the edge of the land. Meanwhile, he arranged mercenaries to transport food from nearby cities to help them spend the winter.

The barbarian leader, Becky, saw his tribe's people happily building houses, and was almost moved to tears. The tribe led by him was finally better, and he firmly believed that it would be better and better.

It's said that the ancient dragon city doesn't collect taxes. There are more people who decide to come back and plant land, and there are more people who plan to open shops. Everything is developing in the direction expected by huaruge.

The internal contradictions have almost been solved, and Hua Ruge is considering the external problems.

She inquired about it these days. It is said that there are more than 10000 horse thieves, all of whom are cavalry. They are not only very fast, but also brave and good at fighting.

If there is a head-on conflict, the barbarian will suffer some losses if he bumps into the fast horse, and she doesn't want to take all her trumps out in such a hurry.

What worried her was that there was no outer city wall at all in Gulong city. It was not easy to resist. So she quickly decided to build the wall.

Fortunately, the money made the ten thousand year old ship smash down in a large amount, the materials were soon ready, and the soldiers began to build walls.

With the gradual construction of the city, everyone in the city will spend the extremely cold winter day in full swing. Only Hua Ruge sleeps at home every day.

Because just after the new year, winter is almost over, so in the tail of these days to send out their last strength, these days are surprisingly cold.

Hua Ruge has always been afraid of cold. In this kind of day, he just wants to sleep in the warm stove at home and eat a melon seed when he is idle.

Officials thought she was ill and came to visit one after another, so she pushed aside her busy schedule and went to sleep.

In her opinion, going out in such a winter is a crime.

But it didn't last long. Only seven or eight days later, her door was knocked open by her servant girl. She wore a red robe and a red cloak to the front hall.

Leitao had been waiting there for a long time. He said, "Lord, it's not good. The brigands are coming."

"From which direction?" Hua Ruge sat on the top song and asked lazily.

"West!"

"Is the Western Wall finished?"

"Only this side hasn't been built yet. The brigands should have got the news in advance and come here well prepared." Leitao said respectfully.

Hua Ruge yawned and said, "when do you expect to get to the city?"

"They're fast. They should be here in a moment." Lei Tao said in a hurry.

"I'll see." Hua Ruge got up, went to the door and turned to the servant girl and said, "put the cakes on the table for me. I'll eat them later."

“……”

Once again, Lei Tao was stupid. Now he began to suspect that his Lord might have problems in understanding.

Soldiers are on the scene, and there is no wall, he still has the mind to eat?
