Hero’s Creed

Chapter 511: New Grand Duke

There is never a shortage of talents in this world. What is lacking is opportunity.

The western territory of the Placido period has been sealed, and the strength of the old nobles is intertwined. The newcomers want to come forward. It is as easy as going to the sky. It is different now. After Downton beheaded the Duke, Rosicky sent out to suppress the stubborn old nobles. There has been a blockbuster rights vacuum.

The civilians who wanted to show their ambitions saw hope and put into effect. Downton only used a short baron title to envelop a large number of young talents.

what? Only the king is eligible to divide the nobility? If you say this, you are not afraid of being laughed. All the Drankfoss people know that the king’s words are out of the central and central areas near the king capital. The Duke of the Four Realms is the real power.

Stimulated by the title of nobility, those talented civilians exploded with great enthusiasm. Downton originally thought it would take months to rebel and strangle the bandits on the border. Unexpectedly, he calmed down within half a month.

Not to mention Haiyan Heqing, at least for a short period of time, the gangsters disappeared. They didn't want to be cut off by the people who dreamed of military power and abandoned the dead wilderness.

Ordinary civilians have been fed up with the cruel exploitation of Placido, and they are eager to change to a duke. Downton did not let them down. As soon as he took office, he immediately issued a tax reduction decree.

Any citizen of the West can be exempted from tax for two years, after which the tax rate will be restored to 50% of that in the period of Placido, and it will be guaranteed that no tax will be added within five years!

This one alone is enough to make Downton gather the hearts of the people, secure the seat of the Duke, and let the nobles who want to incite civilians to resist him count.

The requirements of the people are simple. No matter who they are as a duke, they just want to live a better life. Downton’s tax cuts are undoubtedly poked in their hearts. At least five years, their living standards can be A big improvement.

Downton is not satisfied with this. After the irrigation experiment of the Fountain of Life, he determined that the volcanic oats brought back from the secret area are very suitable for the land in the west. Not to mention the high yield, the output per acre is at least three times more than before.

When Downton personally led people to do cultivating experiments under the supervision of tens of thousands of citizens, and let Andrea make a guarantee as a female priest, his reputation reached its peak.

"Since then. People in the West will never go hungry again, the warehouse will be filled with oats, and there will be unbearable bread on the table."

This sentence drove the entire Western Realm crazy, and also made those kings and other Duke of the Three Realms extremely lonely. They knew that they could no longer win the Western Realm.

If you can’t win Downton on the battlefield, you can only compete on the negotiating table, but the king's side has fewer and fewer cards, especially after a high-level message from Grand Duke Mourinho and the Andrea family. They are even more mourning.

"Father, don't you go to see him?"

Hannah stood behind a handsome middle-aged man with a respectful look.

"At the age of eighteen, you can take down the Western Realm and take the seat of the Grand Duke. It's not easy. This series of post-war treatments, if there is no expert advice, do you believe it?" Mourinho read the intelligence collected by the agents. . Then he dropped it on the table, "See him? Are you good at him?"

"Ok!"

Hannah heard her father digress. He knew that he refused, and he couldn’t help but complain that Downton was ignorant, and his father was still a scepter, excluding the status of Grand Duke, not to mention Downton, a newly duke who had not been recognized, even the kings of Xueman and the Rhine Don't dare to neglect him. They all meet on their own initiative.

"It's enough to maintain a cooperative relationship. There is no need to be close. My Jose's face has not been cheap enough." Mourinho's eyes, Downton is also a young man with some skills, it is not worth mentioning. "I am going to retreat recently. You go to Corsica, where the tomb of Saint Coffin is said to have been found."

"Holy coffin? That Dilan Xue and Saint Laurent will definitely appear, and I will certainly not be able to grab it." The battle in the Dragon Hill made Master Hanna confident.

Snapped!

Mourinho slaps his daughter fiercely, and a pair of beautiful Danfeng eyes stare at her deathly.

"Father, I know the wrong thing, I will try my best!"

Hannah quickly knelt and apologized, her cheeks were red and swollen, and she dared not reach out.

"Even the will to win is gone. What's the difference between you alive and the walking dead?" Mourinho looked at the best daughter and sighed, "Trying to be the best, doing everything and exhausting everything. Fight with intelligence, don't always want to compete with Downton, he is not worthy."

Looking at the back of her father's departure, Hannah would like to say that Downton is actually not bad. How could a person who can win Torres twice in a row be a fool? However, she also knows that Torres is also a miscellaneous fish in the eyes of her father. Only Di Lanxue is the brightest new star in the Western Continent.

Downton, who is regarded as a miscellaneous fish, is dealing with government affairs under the guidance of Homer. He started as an ogre and naturally will not treat them badly, but he must also consider the acceptance of ordinary humans to the hilly natives. After all, their reputation is real. It was too bad, so after weighing it, he drew a town at the border and allowed all hilly natives to come here to trade.

"Master, the dragon hills have many special products, such as various precious fruits, herbs, furs, etc., which are very valuable in human society, but because of racial conflicts, there has been no way to trade with each other. This is a virgin land. If it is made By the way, taxes alone are very impressive."

As a native, Abagong has the most say.

Placido has coveted this trade, but trust is a difficult thing to establish. Who dares to ensure that the other party will not encircle themselves, but Downton is different, he has too many indigenous people.

The defenders stationed there have no humans, except for the ogres of Johnson, the rest are abominations, giving the indigenous people a great sense of security.

Trade partners? Naturally, it was Abagong, the Downton caravan, and the shrewd goblin housekeeper wouldn’t want anyone else’s business group to come and let him do business alone.

Buying the goods from the indigenous people who came to the town, and then transporting them to the nearby town or city for sale, the profit is enough to make the cerebrovascular burst.

It’s not that no one is messing around, but without exception, all of them were cut off by Johnson and Kasimodo and nailed to the wooden stand.

Bone Dragon occasionally slipped around, so fewer people dared to rob.

Because there are a large number of indigenous people, this town is also known as an indigenous town. There are many smart people in this world. Some indigenous people with live brains bought the real estate in the town and began to settle down, specializing in trading activities. Live on hunting again.

This small change, thinking that the indigenous people began to transition from hunting to farming civilization, Downton immediately promised that as long as the land opened in the hills belonged to them, no tax for five years.

"Tame these aborigines, you will get a lot of soldiers." Andrea is relieved that with these ogres and goblins, it is a deterrent force. If the civilians want to rebel, they must weigh themselves. Can their body block their mace.

A month and a half later, the aftermath of the war passed, the entire western border calmed down completely, and the civilian population returned to their former lives.

The only difference may be that because of tax cuts, there are more silver coins in the pocket. You can buy one more flower ornament for your daughter and a few more sweets. Those noble children who have always liked bullying also disappeared, not because of Beheaded, he hides at home to avoid misfortune.

For the main city people, the patrol of the heavily armed ogres has become a highlight,

At first, they were afraid of these ugly and tall guys killing people on the street, but after gradually getting familiar with them, they found that the law and order suddenly improved a lot, and the scammers and rogues who were extorted were missing.

Concerning vital interests, the civilians naturally support them vigorously and even take the initiative to increase the number of ogres.

"Five copper coins!"

The peddler selling apples was stepped on by a businessman next to him as soon as he finished speaking.

"keep the change!"

Little Loli ate fruit and ran wild on the street.

"What are you doing stepping on me?" the hawker complained.

"Idiot, that's the sister of Lord Duke. Do you want to die, but dare to ask for money?" The businessman rolled his eyes, and the newcomer knew nothing.

"What?" The hawker was frightened, and after looking away, he saw little Loli jumped on the back of a young man, stretched the apple to his mouth, and said happily, "That is the Duke?"

"of course!"

The businessman showed a superior smile from a local.

"Is this too young?"

The hawker was stunned. He had seen this young man just now, about seventeen years old, but he did not expect to have been sitting in the west and became the duke in power.

"Duke Downton is a genius, do you know what the hottest topic is for Frankfort? It's him."

"It is said that he was a postman in Chenwu Town a year and a half ago. Because he was framed by the clerk and resigned, the result was unlucky, and he rose like a meteor."

"What is good luck, that is the strength of others. After changing others, I don't know how many times I have died."

The citizens whispered ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Watching Downton's back is full of envy, young and golden, high position, handsome, this is the dream lover of countless young girls, plus Andrea intends He was even more popular, so his reputation grew.

Many adults are using Downton as an example to teach their children, what about civilians? Civilians can have their own lives, and they can become human beings.

While others were studying Downton’s fortune history, he was also happy for the huge gains. The wine cellars of the Duke’s House have stored hundreds of years of fine wine, armament in the armory, deposits in banks, real estate residences, all of which are It is small money, and the various industries of Prasido are the big players.

After Abagon accounting, Pracido holds and shares up to hundreds of industries, with assets exceeding 3 billion. These are high-quality assets that can generate benefits continuously. After Downton, not only all The expenses have been recovered, and they have made a lot of money.

"Sure enough, war is the most profitable business!"

Looking at the flowing clouds in the sky, Downton laughed out loud on the street. The citizens beside him have now all become his people. Some of the gold coins in their pockets will become taxes and flow into his. treasury. (To be continued...)
