I have a shelter

Chapter 144: The Throat Slitter ‘Jueying’

It has not snowed in the past few days, and the town is very lively.

Seeing the people on the street making snowmen and carving ice sculptures, George remembered that today is the Ice and Snow Festival - next week is the New Year.

These people who usually worry about farm work are actually very skillful, especially those who have fled from the east in recent days - these latecomers add up to six or seven hundred.

Unlike the original people, most of these people are survivors who escaped from the city. The proportion of those who know farm work is not that high, but there are many craftsmen among them - tailors, leatherworkers, carpenters, stonemasons.

There are even people working in the business.

These people not only took on the things that the servants of the Kingdom of Heaven had no time to do, but also brought a lot of knowledge and technology - these things were originally used for their meals, and they were all experiences and technologies that would not be passed on.

But now, they have shared them. Many people who are interested in various industries have also begun to learn under them.

After the population grew, the guy named 'Markdo', who always reminded George of Gale, made a suggestion - the circulation of currency.

In order to win the favor of the lord, the business head even wrote a thick plan.

George only glanced at the book roughly, but several points in it made his eyes light up.

To sum up, this guy has a way to make all the money in the territories around the shelter continuously gather here - including the resources of those territories in the west, which can also fall into George's pocket after passing through the hands of the seven lords.

And in the whole process, let the people of the shelter and even the southern territories become rich.

"After the things of the shelter are sold to the south, the people in the south will increase a part of the profit and send it to the west - the whole process is very simple! And the agreement you signed with those lords before, as long as it is improved on this basis, then in addition to merchants and lords, the people in the south will get more benefits - if you change it again, many people in the west will also work for you!"

In Madoc's opinion, the shelter has too many inherent advantages. The south is peaceful again, and the riverside town can serve as a trading hub for goods between the east and the west. Therefore, opening the shelter and allowing the people in the south to travel here for a long time is in the long-term interests and is more conducive to restoring order.

To be honest, this matter really moved George. Because as the population of the shelter increases, the range of sunlight will become farther and farther. He can't keep this place in his hands. It's a matter of time before it opens to the outside world, and the shelter will open its doors to the south.

In the first few days, George did not give a reply, but sent Martin, Aji, Jim and several scholars to Madoc to help him collect and organize information-the shelter now has refugees from all over the east, west, south and north. In addition to a lot of useful information, they also have a lot of key intelligence. But no one has sorted it out before.

In this matter, these guys did a good job. Not only did they explain a lot of useful information, they also submitted several other things: 'Price List', 'Obligations of Residents', 'Public Territory Taxation', 'Salary Plan'

and the 'Intelligence Network' dictated by Martin and compiled by Madoc.

These things finally made George take the board. Among the scholars' proposals, in order to stabilize the currency and make the limited commodities of the shelter get a virtuous cycle, they wrote a "commodity circulation restriction proposal".

As a result, the market transactions in the territory slowly recovered, and gradually there were lords/rich households in the south, with guards, laborers transporting commodities and money.

Madoc looked at the "restriction proposal" and said: "In order to fight for your commodity share here, everyone will fight hard! Maybe in the future, I can exchange paper for gold! Let those gems and gold stay here completely!"

This is Madoc's vision of the future, but if the shelter can combine those proposals, agreements, and taxes to control the lifeline of food or other necessities, this may not be impossible

"Today's tavern is particularly lively." After George opened the door, a wave of hot air hit him.

The tavern was almost overcrowded today. In addition to the people in the seats, there were some people standing aside, listening to the bard singing stories.

The prostitutes ran around, sitting on the table here for a while, and then being hugged by the people over there. Wherever they went, there would be bursts of laughter.

George stood at the door and stretched, smelling the noisy atmosphere here, and felt comfortable.

He rarely wore armor in the territory, and his clothes were no different from those of the people in the territory, except for his newly made fur coat, which looked a bit too vulgar and heroic.

So few people in the tavern recognized him for a while - those who recognized him would not disturb the lord's leisure at this time.

After a glance, George found that in addition to Martin and the other guys who often hung out in the tavern, Aji was also here today. In addition, there seemed to be many new faces in the tavern today. A closer look showed that in addition to some refugees who had just arrived in the past few days, there were also some rich people brought by Gavi's brother.

These people chatted happily with Martin, and the most beautiful and most eye-catching girls in the whole tavern also took the initiative to go to their table.

Martin, who was sharp-eyed, recognized the lord at a glance. He came over drunkenly to say hello, and then took Anthony away under George's eyes.

When Martin took Anthony to sit down, the beautiful girls immediately turned their attention from the red-robed knights and the pockets of the rich to the blushing face of the bachelor.

It seems that these scholars are particularly loved by prostitutes.

'Yes, how can a hero not like the tavern? Anthony, this is your third time. Pretending to be like this is not your way to attract girls, right? '

Seeing Anthony gradually relax, George smiled twice, then pushed the crowd away and planned to walk to the bar - Old Jim was waving at him there. This old drunkard who often guest-starred as a bartender in the tavern seemed to have come up with a new trick today.

"Boss, here, sit here!"

Halfway, George turned around following the sound and found that Aji was waving at him. Next to him, there was a refugee dressed as a horseman who looked a little unfamiliar and honest, chatting happily with Aji with a silly smile.

George stared at the stranger with wide eyes, changed his mind, and walked towards Aji.

Above the head of the horseman who was laughing, there were a few lines of words:

[Throat cutter - Jueying]

[On this continent, there is such a mysterious organization. Those who can enter it are the best killers and assassins. Among these people dancing on the edge of the knife, 'Jueying' is the best one among them]

[Comprehensive combat power: S+ (if she hadn't been in a bad state these days, her rating would definitely be higher)]

George looked around and found that there were two other people who looked very special in the tavern.

These people who usually would never stay in the tavern for a long time were a little different today. Besides, except for one silent adventurer who was marked as [Lawful Evil] by the Light of Dawn, they all chatted happily with the people in the territory.

"Boss, he is very good at raising horses!" Aji kept saying excitedly in George's ear. After seeing that the boss's attention turned to him, he comforted the groom who looked a little restrained, and said to George: "I want him to be my attendant!"

"..."

George looked at the short and honest groom. He didn't know why the Light of Dawn used the word "she"
