After handing over the Lord's Order and the Military Order to Sori, Pustan seemed to have remembered something. He patted his forehead and said: "By the way, Lord Count, all the soldiers in the Czech Territory are sent by the Kingdom. After you accepted the territory, these soldiers
The kingdom must be recycled.”
"Leave me an empty city!?" Suo Li's face darkened instantly.
Pustan seemed helpless and said to Sori: "There is no way, it's stipulated by the kingdom."
"Huh, how many gold coins are left in the territory?" Sori asked.
"One thousand and eighty-eight gold coins." After saying that, Pustan asked someone to bring in a ledger: "This is the account book. The income and expenditure of the entire territory are here."
"You are kidding me!" Sori's eyes widened, and the powerful momentum of the seventh level surged out, pressing towards Pustan.
Pustan was just an ordinary person, and it became extremely difficult for him to even speak under such an aura. He also took back the apologetic smile on his face and said: "Your Majesty, the accounts are all here, you can check them yourself.
"
"You have been the city lord here for seven years. Who can know if you want to change this kind of account book?" Sori was immediately angry. He originally hoped that this guy would be more sensible, although he thought that the city lord would embezzle a lot of tax revenue.
But I really didn’t expect that the tax would only be more than a thousand gold coins.
"The salary given to me by the kingdom is five hundred gold coins per year, but the tax revenue of such a large territory for many years is only twice my annual salary?" No matter how poor the Czech Territory is, the size of the territory is still there, and it can generate at least thousands of gold coins in tax revenue every year.
, part was handed over to the kingdom, and part was used to build the territory. Even if some were embezzled by Pustan, Sori estimated that there would be about 10,000 gold coins.
"I'm afraid it's all gone into your pocket." Sori turned around and said to Ter: "Teer, lead people to search the city lord's palace!"
"My lord, you have no right to search me." Pustan's face was not good-looking either. He had been away from the royal capital for many years. Although he knew Sori's name, he didn't know much about Sori. He only knew that he was Saint
The only descendant of the Kate family, I heard that he was only sixteen years old, so he thought he was easy to bully, so he started to think of taking it for himself.
"This is my territory! The kingdom's law stipulates that everything here is under my management! Including you who have not left my territory!" Sori pulled out the Qingxuan Sword from his back, and then placed it on Pustan's neck.
, "If you deceive the lord, I have the right to kill you on the spot!"
The cavalry outside the house rushed into the City Lord's Mansion like wolves and began to search vigorously. Sori's sword was still on Pustan's neck, and the guards of the City Lord's Mansion did not dare to act rashly.
"My lord, you have no right to do this!" Pustan still glared at Sori. "When I say you have the right, you have the right." Sori said lightly.
"Sir Sori, no property was found." A cavalryman ran out and said to Sori.
"You see, Lord Earl, I am innocent."
"Search again! Find the secret room!" Soli sneered and ordered.
About half an hour later, another cavalryman came out to report: "Lord Sori, the city lord's office has found a basement."
After hearing what the cavalry said, Pustan's expression changed, and he pretended to be calm and said, "What's in there are my personal belongings!"
Sori sneered and took the sword off Pustan's neck. Just as the city guard was about to rush forward, he heard Sori's cold voice again: "Assaulting the lord is a death penalty." Suddenly, no one dared to move. After all, no one wanted to
die.
With an ashen face, Pustan found a large box of gold coins, silver coins and money tickets from the basement. After a rough count by Ter and other cavalry, there were about 13,000 gold coins, tens of thousands of silver coins, and several copper coins.
"The tax revenue of such a large territory for so many years has only been so small. The Czech Territory is quite poor." Sori glanced at Pustan indifferently. "Private taxation is definitely a capital crime."
After saying that, the Qingxuan Sword in Soli's hand swiped Pustan's head. Pustan, an ordinary person, had no ability to resist at all. The guards in the city lord's palace could only watch their city lord's head fly up.
Stan originally thought that this time he would be able to collect a large amount of gold coins and return to the capital to enjoy the blessings, but he did not expect that his life would be lost here forever.
"I believe that the news that I killed Pustan will reach Hudson's ears soon, but I will deal with Pustan in accordance with the law." Sori said coldly.
The royal city ordered to withdraw all the soldiers in the Czech Territory. Before Sori arrived, most of the soldiers had moved to other places. The soldiers who are still in the Czech Territory will also leave in the near future. A huge Czech general
There were no soldiers, only fifty cavalry brought by Sori.
"Hudson has done a really great job." Soli was already helpless in this barren place, but now that all the soldiers in the city have been taken back, the security force is completely blank. The few people under Terl's command are even in the Czech city.
It can't be managed, let alone the entire Czech Republic.
The current Czech Territory is a complete mess. The security situation was originally the worst in the Rhine Kingdom. Now that the soldiers have left, some gangsters have become more rampant. When Sori came, he could see a lot of violent incidents on the road.
.
More than ten thousand gold coins seems like a lot, but it is not enough to manage the entire territory. The first step now is to recruit new soldiers, and it costs a lot of gold coins to form an army and guards in the city.
In addition, there are a lot of places to spend money.
Sori did not hesitate. He issued a lot of orders on the day he took over. The main one was to reduce taxes in the territory. The tax revenue from the Czech Republic was already low. If it were lowered, it would be almost impossible to maintain basic operations. Lucia had no idea about Sori.
This order from Li was a bit confusing. Soli just said: "No matter how high the tax is, it is of no use if there is no one in the territory."
Sori's order quickly received a response from the general public. Although it still cannot stop the trend of young people leaving the territory, Sori believes that some people can still stay.
All the soldiers were recalled to the royal capital. The military camp outside the Czech city seemed very deserted. Except for a few people from Solirukia, there were only fifty cavalry and Ter, a fourth-level knight, in the huge martial arts field.
"From now on, you will all be my cavalry guards." Suoli stood on the high platform, his voice was calm and cold.
"What!" There were a total of fifty-one cavalrymen, including Captain Ter. When they heard Sori's words, some were stunned on the spot, and some shouted out in disbelief.
"From now on, you will all be my personal guards, Guard Chief Ter. Every ten of the remaining fifty people will select a squad leader. Tomorrow I will teach you how to practice "Zihui Fighting Qi"" Sori's voice contained fighting spirit.
drifted into everyone's ears.
"God, I'm not dreaming." A young cavalryman murmured.
"It turns out to be the "Zihui Fighting Qi" of the St. Kate family, second only to the "Qingxuan Fighting Qi" that only direct members of the clan can learn!" A cavalryman who knew more about it widened his eyes.
"Pinch me quickly, quickly!" a cavalryman shouted excitedly to his companions beside him.
"It hurts, it hurts! Damn it, why are you using so much force! Hahahaha, it's not a dream, it's real..."
Some of the smarter young cavalrymen immediately knelt down and shouted: "Swear allegiance to Lord Soli to the death!"
Seeing someone taking the lead, everyone immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "Swear allegiance to Lord Sori to the death!"
"Swear loyalty to Lord Sori to the death!"......
The shouts of just a few dozen people were like thunder. This group of third-rate cavalry suddenly became the bodyguard cavalry of the Earl of the Kingdom. It was hard not to be excited.
Suo Li gave a rare smile and turned around to leave the martial arts arena. The cavalry only heard the faint words left by Suo Li: "After you have achieved certain results in your fighting spirit training, I will take you to be certified as knights."
"Am I going to become a knight?" The biggest dream of a cavalryman is to become a real knight! At this time, this dream is so close to them.
"Haha, I just said it would be better to go out with Lord Sori than stay in the capital."
