8. The first pot of gold in exchange for robbery

Seeing that the heads on the ground had turned into two, Lance walked to Sir Raven's body and spat fiercely.

"You think I'm an idiot, I come to greet me when I reach the front foot, and even the food is ready. If I do this, I don't know that you have colluded with my two brothers. I will really live to be a pig in my life."

"Young Master, what should I do now?" Heigang turned his head and looked at Lance.

"Of course, I will do it all the time," Lance put away the hypocritical side in front of the person and sneered: "They really think that I am a human being and can bully me. Don't forget that the half of the demons flows in my blood. I might as well slaughter all the people in this family, and don't let go of any of them. My head is in the square, and the reason for the outside is what I just said, "I killed people when I saw his place was good."

"Yes." Heigang replied respectfully.

"Also," Lance's expression curled a lot, and returned to his handsome young man's appearance: "The poor women in the basement will burn them with fire and then bury them."

After seeing Heigang nodding, Lance waved his hand at him: "You go."

Watching Heigang's figure disappear, Lance turned around and entered Sir Leiwen's study. He first flipped through the letters laid on the table and showed a sneer.

Sure enough, Sir Leiwen was just a poor pawn, and the person who led him did not even tell him the identity. His so-called contact person was just an insignificant pawn responsible for receiving the support.

After looking through some other things, Lance completely lost interest in Sir Raven and the father and son. Although Sir Raven continued to broaden his path, in Lance's view, he was just a small person who tried his best to climb out of the well. There was almost no useful information, so he stopped the idea of ​​continuing to pursue.

"After I made a good home and came back. I couldn't stand it if I wanted to get to my fiefdom and live under someone else's roof."

Lance, who talked to himself like this, opened the system of the Demon Lord.

The above task information has changed the status.

【Task】The reception of the evil squire (completed)

Task description: When you are just here, you are treated by local squires. They seem to be eager to find out from you. Will your visit touch their core interests? Their hospitality is not enthusiastic, but full of "sincerity". Perhaps, you should choose your own camp in advance.

Mission result: Kill Sir Leiwen's family.

Evaluation: Lord's reputation: +3 (Decisive killing, no matter whether it is wrong or right, your reputation has spread in this small place)

Faction reputation: Chaos: +2

Friendship: Squire Group-10 (You violate their common interests, please remember the truth that the lips are dead and teeth are cold), civilian +10 (but for those who are bullied, this is indeed an exciting thing)

System points: +2

Lance looked at the updated information box and fell into thought.

This task system seems to be not regulated by subjective will, but will only appear when he encounters certain events. Just like when Lance was received by Sir Raven, he received such a task message, which is exactly the same as when he rescued a girl in the woods before.

After seeing the evaluation results, Lance also understood that the rewards and changes in attributes of the task are related to the task process. In other words, when Lance takes a different attitude towards the task, the results caused will also change. If he chose to collude with Sir Raven, his friendship in the squire group would not be reduced, and the reduction should be the relationship with civilians.

"This is really interesting..."

In Lance's view, this system taken from humans is much more interesting than Resal's bunch of beautiful specimens.

After closing the [Task] menu, Lance looked back to [Interior Affairs].

At this moment, a new message was refreshed.

Gululing has been incorporated into your rule and the basic information is updated.

The characters have learned: [Elementary Insight]

Primary perception?

What is this?

Lance looked at his body carefully and found no obvious changes. Now he could only put his questions aside and continue to look. When Lance opened the interior menu, he found a sub-window of [Guruling] appeared in the interior information menu bar, with the information as follows.

Gululing.

F-class town.

Population (27866), local finance (276698 gold), grain (87835 kg)

The proportion of races under the rule: 37.5% of mixed-sex humans, 16.8% of lower-class demons, 36.3% of demon servants, 0.1% of higher-class demons, and 9.3% of others.

Public opinion index: civilians (40/100), squire (32/100)

Special Building: None

Tax status: 6388 gold, 13998 kilograms (each quarter, food and property are collected according to the head, three times a year, and there are 2 months and 21 days left before the next collection.)

Local finances that need to be paid monthly: 0

Evaluation: The various races under your rule do not get along well with each other, and the people do not agree with you, the lord. The squire is vigilant against you. Perhaps your excessive behavior violates their collective interests and needs to be alert to their counterattack. Even if you are harsh taxes on such places, you will still be a drop in the bucket. Fortunately, your identity does not need to pay taxes to the lord castle. Think of ways to improve the basic production level in the territory first.

Lance looked at the comments carefully and said it was quite pertinent, at least not the sharp words like those when I read the information in my lord's menu before, and gave some reasonable suggestions.

This said that Lance relies on his identity and no longer needs to pay taxes, because his father, the old lord, had never thought about asking Lance to pay local taxes.

This is indeed good news, but the problem is that the income of a whole county is only 6388 gold and 13998 kilograms of grain. This is a bit too low for the low tax. But on the other hand, Lance also knew that for those penniless civilians, this was already the money they could make for their lives.

So, where did the white silver flow?

Lance noticed that his local finance showed 276,698 gold, but in fact, this was not Lance's own money. He intercepted a treasure from his second brother. If it was exchanged for currency, it would be worth a lot of money. However, the personal wealth placed in the information column of Lance Lord's lord obviously has nothing to do with the local finance.

However, Lance's doubts were only for the first two or three seconds. Soon, he realized that after killing Lei Wen and his son, he forcibly occupied the mansion, which was equivalent to chasing Sir Lei Wen's family's fortune. The more than 270,000 yuan of gold should have come from here.

Lance naturally felt no guilt at all and was full of joy for this.

He was a little grateful to Lei Wen and his son. He came here and was poor and was not prepared. He thought that he might have to exchange the second brother's treasures for the starting capital, but he didn't expect that Jazz Gao Yi, knew that he was short of money, jumped in and filled in the pit himself.

Thinking of this, some restlessness sounded outside the window, and occasionally accompanied by fragmented flames, Lance knew that it was his own person who was cleaning the remaining remains of the Jazz. Since this matter was left to Heigang, Lance did not intend to intervene anymore. He had absolutely trusted Heigang, and Heigang had never disappointed him-

This is enough.

Lance gently tapped the table with his fingers, which was almost an unconscious action, proving that he was concentrating on what he was thinking about.

It turned out that the cheating of Sir Raven gave Lance a taste of the sweetness. Since the squire here are all levies and rich, and they are not in the same way as themselves, it is better to eat black and put their things into their pockets.

Lance's face showed a gloomy smile, which belonged to his evil side.

However, this idea just flashed through his mind and was quickly removed from the list in front of him. To describe it in one sentence, it is called too much or too little.

In fact, he didn't have much conflict with the squire. It would be unreasonable to destroy people like this. Although the difference between the two identities is obvious, being too outstanding will make you annoyed. Lance doesn't understand too much other principles, but just the word for tolerance, he has learned a lot in his first twenty years of his life.

Since it cannot be destroyed, it must be adjusted to comfort, at least coexist peacefully. The squire's 32-point public opinion made Lance feel that this group of people may stumbling on themselves when they do big things. It is said that the King of Hell is easy to see, and the little ghost is difficult to deal with. Lance doesn't want to mess up the mess when he does big things.

After thinking about this, Lance felt that it was necessary to meet these gentry tomorrow, and after formulating countermeasures, he looked back on the interior column again.

In addition to the Gululing information we already know just now, here are a few suggestions suitable for development by the lord at this stage.

1. Pioneering I

The actual area of ​​Gululing is 300 square kilometers, but the actual residence and cultivated land area is only one-twentieth of that in the territory. Organizing your people to pioneer is a way to effectively increase the cultivated land area and taxes in your territory.

(Conditions: 30,000 gold funds are required, 1,000 people are required for labor service)

2. Improvement of seed technology I

The farming method of Gululing still adopts ancient manual methods, and the crops grown are mainly mixed valleys, which lack flexibility. This is the fundamental reason for the small yield per mu. Improved technology can effectively increase grain yield.

(Conditions: 20,000 gold is required, new crop seeds are needed, [Agriculture] skill specialization is E-level or above)

3. Tax Reform I

The taxes in Guruling make your people miserable. If you adjust the taxes, you can increase or reduce the support of the people. The support of the people will affect the stability of your county and the response of the people after the order is issued.

(Conditions: None)

Lance looked at these three options carefully and it seemed that the development option under this internal affairs system did not have to be triggered by events like a task, but existed all the time, providing three different development directions at this stage.

However, the Demon Lord system did not clearly define how to implement it, especially the development requirements in Article 2. What are the people with specialized skills in [Agriculture]?

While thinking, a black shadow appeared outside the door. Lance looked up and saw that it was Heigang who was back.

"Is it done?" Lance only asked this question.

"It's all done." Heigang nodded.

"Very good." Lance nodded with satisfaction. Just as he was about to turn the topic to him, he suddenly stared at Heigang in a daze.

"Young Master?" Hei Gang was stared at him strangely and couldn't help asking.

"Ah, it's okay." Lance said so, but his eyes were still staring at Heigang's armor, but he asked, "Do you have something to tell me?"

"Master, in fact, we found a mouse breaking in while cleaning up those guys."

Heigang raised his hand and something was thrown into the floor of the room. Lance didn't see clearly at first, but after he looked at the center of the study, he found that there was a boy curled up and lying there trembling.

"Who is he?" Lance frowned.

"I've checked my identity. He doesn't seem to be Sir Leiwen's man, but a civilian nearby. Master, how do you deal with this guy."
