I have a shelter

George was smoking a cigar, sitting on the sofa, looking at the men and women in the hall, and listening to Hasman's cry.

Although the banquet hall in the Kingdom of Sha was much smaller than the one in Yuecheng, it was much more luxurious. And this royal capital is not the ancient capital of the Kingdom of Sand, their ancient capital is Sun City. More than thirty years ago, the Sun King went north and kidnapped many of the royal families of Sun City, then released several of Hasman's people. And the Sha Kingdom moved its capital to his fiefdom.

This city ranks six or seven in the entire Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the top five are all in the hands of the Southern Wilderness people.

Not only that, the entire east side of the southern continent is also relatively barren, and the main grasslands are on the west side. Originally there were many pastures and oases around the city, but now there are fewer and fewer.

Mainly locust plague.

If you go further south, there are many oases, but most of them are occupied by monsters.

"The throne of God." Haasman did not call George His Highness, but called him the name of the archangel: "These years have been either severe droughts or severe floods. The grasslands have become less and less. Here, we have All that remains are the fields and meadows near the Mediterranean and the River of Stars."

"The locust plague is getting more and more serious now. There are still many lakes and rivers in the south, but there are many monsters there. In recent years, our cities near the River of Stars have been relatively peaceful, but there are also lemures, zombies and Ghosts appear. This year, a new kind of sand monster also appeared. It looks like a snake, but it has sharp claws and poison. It stays in a nest for a lifetime and often harasses various areas. It can be said that the common people and nobles are miserable."

George interjected: "I heard that there are very few such monsters near Sun City. I have never seen such a thing near the Death Mine."

"They were all killed by the Southern Wilderness people. They had the best horses and fed the soldiers to be fat and strong. Moreover, those monsters rarely set foot in Sun City and are active to the west of us."

Hasman sighed and continued: "On our side, those lords who are good at conquering and fighting are all colluding with the Southern Wilderness people. They have strong soldiers and horses, but they all have good land, so they don't care about the life and death of other people. As for the Southern Wilderness people, The desert people are even more the same. In their eyes, we are just cattle and sheep that are kept in captivity. They come here to plunder a few times every year and then leave. They don't care about those monsters at all.

"Now we have to grow our own food, and we have to rely on ourselves to resist the monsters. As a result, more than half of the year's harvest will be taken away by Sun City and saved by that damn Sun King - when they dry the food every year, every chief The private grain in our hands can fill a city! But the food here is not enough to eat. The nobles are okay, but the common people are already living in poverty. There are fewer and fewer soldiers who can fight, and the number of bandits making trouble everywhere is getting worse. Come more and more”

Hasman cried and applied eye drops to Sun City. And from his words, George also understood something.

Throughout the southern continent, the harvests in the fields near various rivers—especially the banks of the Stars River—are pretty good. But most of the food is concentrated in the hands of the people in the Southern Wilderness. And they have been accumulating it for many years. In order to prevent the food from rotting, the Sun Royal Family paid off a lot of wizards from the Moon Kingdom to cast spells. Occasionally, when the old food could not be put away, they would sell it to various mining areas. In exchange for gold, silver and gems.

"Now the lords from various places no longer obey orders. They are divided into more than a dozen forces, large and small. Many mines are in their hands. Basically, few people pay taxes to me. If they have spare money, they will pay taxes to the Sun King. "

What Husman said was true, but George knew that he had a lot of mines in his hands.

Because the technology, tools, and knowledgeable wizards for developing mineral resources all came from the Moon Kingdom, and the Moon Kingdom only gave these resources to Prince Hasman, who then distributed them to various lords. In addition, a lot of food is shipped from Yuecheng every year, and it is all concentrated in the hands of Hasman. Therefore, mine owners and lords will pay taxes on time in order to be able to mine ore.

When I was in the Moon Kingdom a few days ago, this guy Hassman entered the Dawn Parliament in order to establish a relationship, and even spent a lot of money and supplies, looking so generous. When George heard how generously this guy was bribing his men, George's jaw dropped.

Moreover, after joining the Dawn Alliance, you will have to pay taxes in the future. Hussman didn't care about getting some tax at all - after hearing that he could use gemstones and crystals to deduct taxes, this guy was relieved.

Isn’t it just money?

The bribes were eventually accepted by the knights, but the money was also donated by them. Part of it was given to military supplies, and part of it was used to purchase a large amount of food to provide relief to the victims.

As for whether the Cavaliers said anything good about Hussman in front of George after receiving the money, George said that the words he heard the most were - Boss, if those guys don't take away a fortune, I'm sorry for the money in his pocket. Money!

George could see why Hussman was crying this time - what Hussman was worried about was not the money in his hands, he had plenty of money! He is worried about his own status!

Although the people below are hinting at raising taxes, they are not listening to orders. So Hussman was almost unsteady. A strong backer is needed to provide troops and weapons.

Hussman’s words brought George back to his senses.

"Now among the three major mining areas in the Sand Country, the Death Mining Area is the most stable. The other two are occupied by sand monsters and cannot be mined."

George had heard about this matter. Because those mining areas are all in the south, Elizabeth does not have so much energy to send troops - the pressure from the Northern Holy Court and the Western Avali was too great before. And once the troops are sent out, the supply will not be able to keep up, and the monsters will come back after being killed, but the troops of the Moon Kingdom cannot stay here forever. So it is best to let the local lords deal with it. But they obviously can't handle it.

What Hasman meant was that he hoped George could send troops - it would be best if he could live here, and then Hasman would pay according to the standard of hiring the Holy Court Knights.

Or he could help Hasman build a troop.

"I heard that the troops you helped the Sky Eagle build beat the northern Nanhuang people everywhere. I hope you can also send people over and clean up those lords and mine owners. When the time comes, we will split the things we get 3 or 7."

Hearing this, George looked at Hasman in surprise. He didn't know where this guy heard the news, but it was obvious that he didn't hear it completely. What Wendel did in the Sky Eagle was not just as simple as building a troop.

However, Tanya has now secured the position of Grand Duke of the Sky Eagle. Hasman seems to be very eager for this kind of centralization and wants to become another Grand Duke of the Sky Eagle. As for Hasman, he thinks that everything the Sanctuary has done in the Sky Eagle is just to turn the Holy Court above the Sky Eagle Principality into a Sanctuary.

But Hasman doesn't know that after George's people "centralize power" here, not only the lords, but also the kings have become dispensable - Salman sees it very clearly, so he is no longer so interested in the Saudi Kingdom.

Of course, Hasman has no ambitions. As long as he can not go to the Sun City to be a slave after ascending the throne, he will be thankful.

So even if he knows, this guy will probably pay attention to the constitutional monarchy.

'Hasman, since you have taken the initiative to ask for it, it would not be good if I don't help. Since you can't gather together, I will send someone to help you. '

George smiled and nodded.

After seeing this, Hasman was overjoyed.
