Gold coin is justice

Chapter 297: The Great Crisis in Pelican Town

With such a grinning appearance of Buffy, Coco looked at Ai Luo with aggrieved appearance, stretched out his hand and gently pulled Ai Luo's sleeve and shook it a few times.

Ai Luo naturally understood what this little girl wanted to do, and immediately scowled and said very solemnly: "No."

But Coco said with a crying expression: "Chairman brother...please...please return to the way you used to be when you were cooking, OK? I promise! I would rather eat less! Really! Eat less, save money for the guild! So... don’t let those two guys cook, okay? I beg the chairman, brother!"

In response to this request, Ai Luo's face was still so tough, he snorted and flicked his sleeves, and said: "Our guild is a family, and taking turns cooking is an important way for us to communicate with each other! And now the work is getting busy. , I don’t have time to take care of your diet all day long. Cooking by yourself is considered a form of exercise."

Coco was about to cry now. She stretched out her hands again and grabbed Aylor’s wrist. The tears in her eyes started to sway: "Chairman brother~~! Woo...but they...what they did...really It's...it's so terrible!"

Buffy was taken aback for a while, and asked curiously: "Is it ugly? I think it's okay?"

Coco turned his head abruptly and stared at the flower fairy fiercely: "You drink water all day apart from honey, and eat at most raw fruits and vegetables. Where can this be unpalatable?"

After being glared at by Coco, Buffy also gave her a blank look: "Keep and crooked, human beings are really troublesome, and there are so many demands on things."

The little necromancer did not have the time to continue arguing with his girlfriends, and continued to pester Ai Luo and said: "Good brother~~~ please~~~Good brother Ai Luo~~~! Even if...even you Just make me a bowl of porridge! I won’t mind! Did you know the last time? The cream guy didn’t know where he caught a big fat insect from the Shining Forest and said that it’s good to roast It’s delicious! And there’s more! And that big guy! He doesn’t know how to cook at all! He just throws all the ingredients into the pot, fills it with water and simmers it, and it’s done when it's cooked!"

The more I said, the more pitiful Xiao Ke Ke looked. It seemed that there was only so little demand left in her life. Later, her voice even started to choke: "Brother President... So... …So...you can cook it yourself! Okay? I beg you! I beg you~~~!"

Seeing the pitiful appearance of Coco now, Ai Luo couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

Alas... Poor little sister... If you didn’t ask for so girly decoration when you asked to decorate the room, so many pink decorations, so many dolls and soft lace love, you can save a lot. A sum of money.

Distressed?

Of course it hurts.

While distressing Cocoa, Ai Luo also distressed his money even more.If you don't find these bastard members in this tone, let them be more busy, don't wait in the guild to eat your own food all day, then you will be crazy!

and so……

"What you said is so pitiful... Then so be it. Just like Parfait, eat honey and drink water. If you're hungry, eat some raw fruits and vegetables."

When Buffy heard Airo standing by her side, she flapped her wings and nodded: "Yes, yes! Cocoa, the fruits and vegetables cultivated by you humans are really delicious! Compared to the meat you eat, I I still think honey water is better!"

When he was flatly rejected, Coco's eyes went dark, and he immediately slumped down on his seat as if it were down.

Especially at this time...

"We're back! President! Look! I caught several echinops in the forest today! Don't look at this toad as disgusting, but its meat is delicious for roasting!"

"President Airo, don't worry about giving us today's food. I have brought back so much firewood, I can definitely cook a big pot!"

Hearing these two voices, and seeing those two men returning happily, Coco suddenly raised his head, his eyes revealing an expression of despair.To be honest, Airo began to feel that Coco at this time really had a terrible feeling of a necromancer.

Upstairs, in the earl's room.

The soldier said a few words in the ear of the earl and then left, earl Ruiying nodded, the expression on his face became more solemn.

After the soldiers left, Margaux in the inner room also got dressed, got up from the bed, walked slowly behind Earl Ruiying, wrapped his arms around his neck and put his arms around the old man, and said with a smile: "My lord~~ ~We are here on vacation. Why do you still look so hard?"

"Oh...I want to take a good rest, too."

Earl Ruiying opened the account book in his hand, looked at it and shook his head and said——

"Even if I want to take a vacation, I won't take a vacation on official business. All I can do now is to adjust my body and mind a little while dealing with these annoying things."

Margaux grinned and put her arms around the earl and gave him a light kiss on the cheek.This naughty little action also made the sad look on Earl Ruiying's face a little bit away.

"This is the magic that makes Lord Earl laugh~~How about it? Sir, do you think my magic is useful?"

"Hahaha, useful and useful. You are really a little fairy."

Earl Ruiying looked at the account book in his hand again. After just two glances, the smile on the corner of his mouth turned into sadness again: "It's just, if the magic of my little beauty can come to the frontline, let those who are on the frontline It would be better if all the fighting soldiers showed a smile."

Margaux raised his eyebrows slightly, and said softly, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Oh... it's not a frontline thing yet."

Earl Ruiying put down the account book in his hand and said helplessly——

"The front line is fighting, so His Majesty requested that all kinds of supplies be sent to the front line. Money, once a war starts, will be like a river with a gate open. It will flow like crazy, and it will only be left for you in the end. The next dry riverbed."

The old man leaned on the chair, closed his eyes while Margaux continued to massage herself, and slowly said, "Your Majesty has been asking for money and food from the main soldiers recently. Many lords are already suffering. I This lord is not bad, Teemall is a small city in a fringe province, so there is no request for soldiers, but the amount of money requested is not small. Now, I almost feel that this year’s budget is about to collapse, and if this continues , I will start to sell my personal collection before the end of this year."

Margaux's eyes rolled steadily, gently rubbing Earl Ruiying's shoulder, and slowly said: "In other words, it is not enough money? Hmm...this is indeed a difficult thing to do."

Rui Ying rubbed his eye sockets and sighed: "Yes... in this world, money is always a difficult thing. My earl used to be just a fake name, and there is no practice. Now it's hard to have Tianhe City like this. It’s a temporary foothold, but I haven’t even collected the initial savings. In this case, money will be spent immediately... I knew I would not come to this Tianhe City. I don’t have any job. It’s not my turn to pay money."

After saying this, Earl Ruiying sighed again.But Margaux at the back now smiled slightly and said, "Earl, in fact, I think...this matter may not be as difficult as imagined~~~"

"Oh?" A little doubt appeared on Earl Ruiying's face, "What are your ideas? Tell me?"

Margaux waved her hand, a shy look flashed across her face, and said, "What's the idea, where am I so good? I just have a small idea that is not a suggestion."

Seeing that Earl Ruiying is now waiting for his answer, Margaux smiled and began to say: "Since you are asking for money, Earl, you now have a good time to make a lot of money!"

Earl Ruiying: "Where?"

Margaux stretched out her finger and pointed to the floor, and said with a smile: "It's here, in this Pelican Town. You can make a fortune here~~~"

Seeing that Earl Ruiying was still strange, Margaux continued with a smile on his face, "Isn’t there news from Pelican Town before that it is going to be expanded? I was able to see some people in the town a few days ago. Come to measure the land or something. Since it can be expanded, then the town must start to become rich? Now that there is money, then naturally it should be donated to give some warmth to the soldiers on the front line, right? ?"

Earl Ruiying tilted his head for a moment, then patted his thigh, and said, "You mean... let me tax?"

Margaux patted her little hand lightly, and said, "Master Earl is really too smart! I just think about it, Master Earl can immediately understand what to do!"

Although there was a way to get money, Earl Ruiying quickly shook his head and said: "Taxation...although it is possible. Pelican Town is under the jurisdiction of Xiehu City in name, and Viscount Norris of Xiehu City He knows me, and we have a good relationship. Now if the taxation is really carried out, he should have no idea... But Margaux, do you think that if I do this is equivalent to directly robbing this town? Seeing that they are about to enter the stage of development, I just took away their wealth in one go, as if it wasn't good for them, right?"
