Pirates: Family History

The next day!

Windmill Village!

Early in the morning, Liszt took a small merchant ship and circled around the port before arriving at the small wharf of Windmill Village.

Well, Windmill Village and Gao Town are separated not only by Central Street, the side town, but also by the Uncertain Terminal Station and a mountain range. If you go by land, the journey will take longer than driving around by boat.

and!

Among them, there is a mixture of dragons and snakes in the terminal station. There are many people who will do whatever it takes to survive. There are also wild beasts in the mountains. The danger of taking this road is many times higher than that of the sea.

So, he chose to come here by boat.

The purpose of his trip to Windmill Village was very simple.

On the one hand, it is to inspect one's own fiefdom, understand the situation of the fiefdom, and arrange some tax matters!

After all, Caesar was injured now. Even if the basic movement was not a problem, Liszt didn't want him to work too hard, so he took the initiative to take over the matter.

On the other hand, it is for the beverage factory.

After careful inspection, Tsuji Mumei decided to build the factory in Windmill Village.

The Kingdom of Goa itself is not big and there are not many places to choose from.

Moreover, we must consider whether it is convenient for transportation, whether it is convenient for recruiting workers, and whether it is convenient for building a factory.

In this case, after careful inspection, Onibatsuji Mumei discovered that the good land near the port of Goa Kingdom was already owned and was not suitable for building a factory.

and so!

He finally chose Windmill Village.

There are a lot of people in Windmill Village, there is enough space, and there is an independent small dock. Whether it is recruiting workers, building a factory, or future transportation, it is very convenient.

More importantly, this is the fiefdom of the Augustus family, and it is easier to control!

"Is this Windmill Village?"

Liszt looked at the village not far away and murmured.

Lush fields, towering windmills, bumpy but smooth dirt roads, small houses made of a mixture of wood and stone on both sides, and seemingly leisurely villagers on the road form a beautiful countryside scenery.

This time!

An old man wearing a heart-shaped shirt with a smile walked up to Liszt.

"Are you the Earl's child? Hello, I am the mayor of this village, Upp Slap!" Slap introduced himself with a smile.

"Hello, I am Liszt, Augustus Liszt!" Liszt smiled and introduced himself.

talking!

He changed his tone and said, "Village chief, show me the village first!"

"Okay, please come this way!" Slap agreed without hesitation.

It is normal for a lord to visit the village for the first time.

Later!

Slap started to lead the way from the front.

The two of them walked into the village one after the other.

"That's a restaurant over there owned by people from our village. The fish they cook is pretty good. There's a tavern over there. People from our village go there for a drink occasionally. That's..."

Along the way, Slap pointed to different buildings and introduced their functions to Lister one by one.

The village is not big, so the two of them talked all the way, and soon they reached the end of the village and came to the fields outside the village.

"These are the crops we grow, mainly corn, some wheat, some tomatoes and other vegetables, and further afield there are some apple trees, oranges and other fruits!"

After introducing the crops in the village, Slap added, "However, these are not the main income of our village. The main income of our village is fishing, and most families in the village also rely on fishing to make a living. Yes, the monthly income from fishing is about [-] to [-] beli per family..."

Slapp tried his best to introduce it as comprehensively as possible, while Liszt listened and began to make calculations in his mind.

Soon!

When Slap's introduction was almost complete, Liszt felt confident.

The income of this village is not high, and the purchasing power of [-] berries before Liszt crossed over was almost [-].

But five thousand does not belong to one person, but to a family!

In this world, a family generally consists of four or five people. If there are elderly people in the family, the number will be seven or eight. If you spend 5000 yuan to support them, you can only keep the family above the food and clothing line.

Just barely enough to eat!

In general, this village can contribute more than 3000 million in Bailey tax revenue to him every year.

With this amount of money, if you include daily expenses and the hiring expenses of servants, maids and other expenses at home, it would be good for Liszt to have 1000 million beli left at the end of the year.

This is based on the current servants and maids in the Augustus family!

If it were later, as the Augustus family developed, this money might not even be enough to hire servants.

"Whatever the village paid to the kingdom before, it will be paid in the future!" After listening to the village chief's words, Liszt thought for a while and said.

The income of the fief is the transfer of taxes originally paid to the kingdom to the lord.

But the lord was free to change the taxes to be paid.

For example, the original [-]% became [-]% or [-]%!

Generally speaking, lords would not use the kingdom's original tax revenue because it was too little, and would instead add some to increase their income in the fiefdom.

The reason why Liszt stayed the same was because he looked down on this income at all.

He has plenty of ways to make money, there is no need to even ask for this little money!

Judging from the situation in this village, if more taxes are raised, people may starve to death.

"Thank you sir!!!"

Slap's eyes suddenly lit up as he listened, and he quickly thanked him excitedly.

Before meeting Liszt, what he was most afraid of was the lord's arbitrary increase in taxes.

The income of Windmill Village itself is not high. If taxes are increased, several families will starve to death. But now Liszt still maintains the original taxes. How can this make him unhappy?

"By the way, there is one more thing!"

Seeing how happy he was, Liszt also showed a slight smile and said, "I will build a factory here in the future. I will recruit workers in your village, regardless of gender. Each person will earn at least [-] beli per month. , three meals a day are included, I hope you can inform the people in the village, if there is anyone willing, a dedicated person will come to recruit you in a few days!"

"Really?"

Slapp said in disbelief.

Twenty thousand berries a month, including three meals a day, before Liszt traveled, he would definitely be called a black-hearted factory, but in this world, this condition is definitely extremely good.

Especially the fact that it is not limited to men and women.

In this world, except for some industries such as textiles, other industries generally prefer male workers.

After all, male workers are stronger and can do more.

There is no limit to men and women, the income is pretty good, and the conditions are so good that Slap couldn't believe it, so he showed such an expression.

"real!"

Liszt smiled and nodded, then shrugged and said, "I don't have to lie to you, do I?"

"No problem, no problem!"

After confirmation, Slap was ecstatic, nodded repeatedly, and said, "I will definitely inform everyone!"

This time!

"Okay, we're almost done shopping. I also understand the situation in the village. You can go back! I'll go back after walking around for a while!" Liszt glanced at the sun that was almost in the middle of the sky and said casually. One sentence.

"Ok!"

Slap listened to Liszt's words and nodded without saying much.

After that, he politely withdrew.

At this time, Liszt glanced around and then fixed his sights on the only tavern in the village not far away.

Immediately!

His eyes lit up.

This tavern is not simple. Although this country tavern is not famous in this world, it was a famous place before Liszt traveled through it!

The Yonko, the future Pirate King, and the future Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army all ate here!

Even the boss lady was once suspected of having a relationship with the red hair.

How could he not visit such a famous venue?

Without hesitation!

Liszt walked towards the tavern.

And as soon as he entered the tavern, he smiled!

Because he saw three little ghosts about the same size as him sitting in front of the bar. Among these three little ghosts, he had seen one before and was familiar with it, and the other two were familiar to him even though he had never seen them before.

That's right!

It's the three Luffy brothers!
