Hearthstone Farm Lord

Chapter 23
"Money is not saved, but earned." The housekeeper Henry thought about Xiao En's words.

There is some truth to this sentence.

Sean glanced at the refugees and said to Henry:

"Ten thousand gold coins is certainly not enough to cover the cost of the territory for a year, of course I know that.

But if we want to make money, we can find our own way instead of squeezing these desperate refugees.

Besides, after these preferential policies are implemented, I believe that there will be many refugees who have gone to cities or to other towns willing to return to Hetan Town.

In the long run, the more refugees who are willing to return to River Beach, the more taxes we will receive in the future.

Therefore, it is still necessary to spend the money, and the money should be spent generously, and don't be timid.

Of course, the money should be saved. Luxuries like the 'Ala Lei mantle' you recommended to me are completely unnecessary things. "

"Your Highness, it's 'Alas Mantle'." Henry reminded.

"It's almost the same. Whether it's 'Ala Lei Mantle' or 'Assas Mantle', this kind of luxury is not within our consideration. Our main consideration now is to quickly restore the population of the territory."

"Okay then." The housekeeper Henry sighed and stopped talking.

. . . . . .

Although His Royal Highness Sean gave him the answer, Henry was still a little worried.

His Highness Xiao En only said that he wants to make money by himself, but how to make money?If he really wanted to make money, he wouldn't have to worry so much.

But it's useless to think about these, let's do the things in front of us first.

The housekeeper Henry sighed again, and was busy with other things while calculating the cost of the territory.

. . . . . .

After the butler Henry left, John, the head of the guard, walked towards Sean, pointed to the group of children who had just followed out from the slums and asked:
"Your Highness Sean, what are they going to do?"

"Oh, I almost forgot about them." Sean patted his forehead and walked towards these children.

. . . . . .

At this time, these children were standing there helplessly.

The welfare policies such as tax exemption and free food they heard from Sean are indeed very good, but these welfare policies are limited to the residents of the original River Beach Town, and Sean didn't say anything about what they should do.

Seeing Sean walking towards them, the children hurriedly saluted Sean and stared at Sean nervously.

Sean scanned the group of children with his eyes, and said seriously:
"I can take you to Hetan Town, but you are not residents of Hetan Town, so I can't give you land for the time being.

But I won't treat you badly. After arriving in Hetan Town, I will arrange jobs for you, and you will be in charge of food and housing. You will be paid two gold coins a month. "

The children were surprised and delighted when they heard Xiao En's words.

They used to make a living in the slums mainly by stealing, being gangsters, and being apprentices to some bad-tempered craftsmen.

But the income of these ways of making a living is really pitifully low, and it is difficult to earn more than one gold coin a month.

Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness Sean would just ask for two gold coins and take care of food and housing. This is a treatment that was unimaginable before!
Trembling with excitement, these children also knelt down to Sean like the refugees in River Beach Town, and worshiped Sean devoutly.

They had always believed in the God of Light before, but at this moment, Xiao En was the God of Light, and there was no difference in their eyes.

. . . . . .

"However, I also want to remind you that when you arrive in River Beach Town, you have to correct those problems in the slums and abide by the laws of the territory.

If I find anyone committing crimes such as stealing, fighting, or bullying local residents, then don't blame me for throwing him out of town to fend for himself. "

Sean certainly didn't forget that these children grew up in the slums, so he sounded a warning.

"Your Highness Sean, we will be honest, and we will obey any instructions you give!" The children said one after another.

For this unimaginable treatment, everything Sean said was right, and they would never do anything against Sean's will.

At this time, the housekeeper Henry took out a booklet to register the names of the refugees, and when he heard Sean's promise of "two gold coins for food and housing every month", he subconsciously wanted to stop it.

But thinking of the welfare policy announced by Sean just now, Henry could only sigh and turn his head away from this side.

"Maybe a big businessman that His Royal Highness knows in the king will give him funding!" Henry comforted himself silently in his heart.

. . . . . .

After Sean instructed the children, he walked towards Wen De Sole who was standing on the edge of the crowd.

He was going to recruit a few young and strong people from the people to serve as guards, and by the way, he took Wen Desuoer to his side justifiably.

But at this moment, Sean heard the sound of swords colliding in the distance, as if someone was fighting with weapons in the distance.

The source of the fighting sound was behind Sean, so Sean turned around and looked at the place where the sound came from.

I saw three people fighting at a distance of about 100 meters, and one of them, who was wearing a linen suit, was very familiar to Sean. This was Matthew!
Why did Matthew fight with others?
Sean took two steps towards Matthew, wanting to see the fighting scene more clearly, and by the way, see if Matthew would like to help.

. . . . . .

Matthew is using a silver grudge, and it seems that he is really a silver-ranked powerhouse, just like the Earl of Rivers said.

However, the two people fighting Matthew were using bronze-colored grudges. Although it was a two-on-one fight, Matthew was fighting against the two of them.

After a few moves, Matthew's two opponents were already in danger, and it seemed that it was only a matter of time before they were defeated.

It is worth mentioning that while Matthew was fighting the two enemies, the black and white kitten on his shoulder was still tightly stuck to his body, without any sign of falling off.

The guards were also attracted by Matthew's battle, and they all turned to look at Matthew, and all the long swords in their hands were drawn out of their scabbards.

. . . . .

Just when Sean and the guards stopped and watched from a distance, Sean felt a strange sound behind him, as if someone among the refugee group was running towards him quickly.

"Not good! There are assassins!"

Among all the people present, John, the head of the guard, had the highest cultivation level, and he was the first to react.

So he shouted loudly to remind everyone to pay attention.

But just now he put all his attention on Matthew in the distance, but the assassin attacked from behind, so it was too late after he realized, a dagger wrapped in bronze-colored grudge was aimed at Sean's The back of my heart stabbed.

In an instant, the dagger had reached Sean's back.
