Dragon Poor

< -- 24. Leader's Qualities -->

A huge mansion, a beautiful and dedicated servant, and attending servants and maids were all luxuries they could not imagine. But Kim Sun-hyuk couldn't just enjoy it. It was because all the hospitals were kept with the money that came out of my pocket.

“Ugh, this is crazy. ”

Maintaining the mansion cost money, keeping the maids and servants, and breathing only cost money. They are holding out for the royal sergeant's bounty right now, but there is no way for the money to come out even if it falls off immediately.

The ambition to become a lord like this, to eat well and live well in my territory, disappeared far away, and I couldn't even think of looking around the territory properly.

“His money, his money, his money. ”

Even though a hundred Drake Cavalries were doing a lot less work for the infantry, it was a relief that there was no need to recruit them right away. However, even if it wasn't money to maintain the Territory, there were a lot of places where the money would go.

I thought being Lord would cost so much money. No, the lordship wasn't the problem. The real problem was the title of nobility. Nobility really was a money-eating monster.

“Ugh. Money, there's got to be a loophole. ”

Julian looks strangely surprised to see him wrapped around his head with the mind of a wealthy socialite.

“I've never seen any nobleman care about money like you do. ”

“I don't care how I get out. It's all my money. ”

“An unclassified and inclusive territory within the Earl's Decree, which has not been financed separately, but will soon be taxed. ”

“How much tax do I need to pay? It's hard to eat and live right now, seeing how few people there are, and how much of that can happen. ”

“The only thing I know for sure is that the tax collectors I've dispatched are here. Except for the maintenance costs of the mansion and the servants, I would expect an estimated 400 gold dollars per year. ”

400 gold didn't catch on. He had a salary when he served as a cavalry, but it was all used to erase the royal debt, and he had never touched the money. Naturally, there was no way he could have known about the world's water supply without knowing what my salary was.

“The average tenant earns more than 70 silver for a year, the regular foot soldier earns 3 gold, and 30 gold for the year he served as a cavalry. You've earned about 60 gold in a year, including war allowances. Of course, it does not include the cost of horse maintenance and equipment maintenance. ”

According to Julian, except for the royal bounty, Kim Sun-hyuk's face was blank. It was because I still didn't get the feeling. I tried to figure out the situation so that my head was steaming, and I asked him based on the maintenance cost of the most familiar cavalry.

“So 400 gold is enough to feed thirteen horsemen? It's enough to keep 80 infantry alive. ”

“Considering the actual cost of food and other expenses, it's enough to sustain three cavalry, or thirty foot soldiers. ”

“Is that a lot? Did you write it down?”

“I write a lot. Given the annual revenues of ordinary barons are about 800 gold, they are rather poorly funded. I still don't understand why you decided not to be the other candidate, but the territory. If you were to acquire the territory you saw in the first place, you would have at least doubled the tax. ”

Now it was a waste to touch a dead child. At that time, the most important thing was the existence of the trench rather than the money, and Linefall was the land he needed in that sense.

“If you're still uncomfortable with this, we'll start collecting more. ”

“Additional collection? ”

“If you're willing, you can pay for the windows in each house and the fireplace every time you light a fire. You can also charge extra taxes for the river, or you can pay extra taxes for bearded men. It's not like there are no nobles who actually do that. ”

Kim Sun-hyuk refused as soon as he heard what was nonsense again. I'm making money right now, but that doesn't mean I want to be the evil lord who exploits the territory.

“With a return of 400 gold right now, it's not enough, but it shouldn't be too much to run the territory. ”

“Well, that's a relief. I had so much money that I had to go out and make some money. ”

My Julian, who was told a joke elsewhere, looked as if he had heard something strange.

“But whether we raise taxes or use other methods to make a profit, You can't rely on the Drake Cavalry, which is part of the Central Army forever, and you can't prepare for a military strike of twenty. It's not the front, but it's also not that far from the front. ”

“Yes. Yes. It's all true. However.”

Kim Sun-hyuk, who heard Julian's fluent answer, opened his eyes.

“You're really good at math. ”

“Well, I guess since I was a kid, all the men in the house were in the army, and I needed someone to take care of the territory right away. I've been tired of taxes since I was eight years old. ”

Whatever he was doing when he was eight years old. It was when I was poking my nose through the neighborhood. But Julian had been doing this complicated calculation since he was eight years old, and she seemed different.

“Very good. Very good.”

When I thought about it, I was only happy to see the presence of her who looked like a nagging old woman.

“So Julian can take care of the money in the future. ”

There was still no place where Julian couldn't get his hands on the big estate. In addition to that, she even went on to work on taxes, and she rarely looked uncomfortable.

* *

After all, Julian is in charge of the land taxes. For the second time, there was no one she could trust to do her job right away. I was sorry to give the young child too much work, but the more I took on Julian, the wider I looked.

I think I remember being excluded from my duties as a woman in Mansk, so I thought I was recognized for my abilities.

It's been a long time since I've found a cavalry house that is still under construction.

“Hey, the lord's here. ”

At last, I saw Hansen and the recruits wearing heavy armor, pretending to have been on patrol in the territory.

Kim Sun-hyuk muttered, looking up and down at Hansen instead of saying hello.

“Combined Armor 80 Gold, 1 Horse 50 Gold, Other Weapons 20 Gold, 150 Gold Combined. Plus, the salary is 30 gold a year. ”

If I didn't know better, Julian was educated about the economics of this world, and everything seemed to be money. In his eyes, the heavyweight cavalry wearing a total of 150 gold pieces were literally calling out to him.

“What are you talking about? ”

“Five horsemen on patrol, 750 gold in total. It's more than I make in a year! ”

Hansen and the cavalry stared at Kim Sun-hyuk who gave out numbers like a madman. However, whether or not he wandered around the encampment, he calculated the value of the entire cavalry. Although not a knight, the level of equipment required for the heavily armored cavalry was not much different from that of the knight, and having collected a hundred such cavalry, the cost of the equipment was astronomical.

“15000 gold.”

It was a tremendous amount of money you could make by collecting taxes in the territory of Linefall without spending a penny for 30 years. How much money does a royal army with more than a dozen of these cavalry members have? Moreover, since their armies were not the only Silk Cavalry, I was amazed at the royal treasures.

There was no loyalty at all.

Of course, I didn't really intend to dedicate my loyalty to the royal family. I was just amazed by the amazing capital.

“Well, I know what you're thinking, but there's nothing to worry about right now. There's no way the crown suddenly sends our cavalry anywhere else. It's good to go to the front when things go wrong around here, and it's great for suppressing nearby lords. ”

There was no one else but the cavalry, but Clark's words were completely honorable. It seemed that I could not treat Kim Sun-hyuk as before, since he became Lord and commander of the platoon.

“The Lord himself is the commander of the cavalry, and he still has a stronger sense of belonging to the cavalry than the Lord himself. Other lords would never have allowed the royal army to enter the center of the territory. At the same time, the royal family can invade the territory at any time. ”

“Ah…”

I didn't even think about the politics. I just thought I'd have soldiers to run with the rest of my money, thanks to the army stationed on the territory to replace the soldiers.

“To put it bluntly, we actually patrol our territory. And there's no reason to. ”

“Between us? ”

Clark and the rest of the crew burst into laughter as they began to practice their euphemism that would not be Kim Sun-hyuk.

“This is how loyal we are to each other. ”

Although his tone was different from before, he smiled at Kim Sun-hyuk, forgetting his worries.

“But don't act like one, don't act like one. If something really happens, we can't just ignore it. We don't know anything else, but we all have families. ”

However, given Clark's attitude, which is not as forgetful as the empire soldier's original mission, I think I understand why the empire did not worry about the soldiers and gave the commander the mission of the commander. When Clark saw that his line felt more natural than he felt sad, he also became more adaptable to the world.

“Don't worry. I'm going to live a very thin, long life. ”

“That's why I like my son! ”

The cavalry members laughed heavily at Kim Sun-hyuk's attitude of quickly accepting a potentially serious conversation.

“Oh, and Emma. If you'll excuse me, I'd like to send two or three of our children to pick them up. Are you sure?”

“Are you asking me to take a vacation? ”

“Yes.”

Kim Sun-hyuk also smiled at the audacious answer.

Kim Sun-hyuk immediately approved the vacation, and Hansen, Jonathan and Jackson headed back to Mansk again. It was Jackson who had a crush on Emma, so he witted them and included them in the crew.

“Thank you. Thank you! ”

After thanking Jackson several times, Kim Sun-hyuk headed back to the mansion.

After arriving at the line pearl, Goldrake has experienced another process of desquamation. Since there are branches all over the world, Kim Sun-hyuk continued to feed them. Thanks to you, Goldrake, who was ugly and dreary at first, is now a real monster. If he straightened his head, he would become a giant monster that was over 3 meters long and almost 6 meters long.

“Oh, I can't reach it! I can't reach it! ”

The shaking gets worse, and the target looking down on the saddle gets further away. The wind caused me to be unable to hit the desired point if I did not reach the target dangerously with a four-meter-long combination spear.

The solution was to solve the problem by making a window longer than the existing combination window and using Stella instead of the equipment or the Goldrake.

“Knng. Still a brave man, but I can't give up on him. ”

The penalty for severe up-and-down and downward movements and large sizes was not even easy to train with the other cavalry, but he was unable to give up the Goldrake.
