Chapter 129 Cultural Invasion
"Hehe..." Chu Feng squeezed out an ugly smile to cover up the shock in his heart, thinking that his understanding of common sense was useless in this world.

If there are really flying western dragons in this world, then there must be other weird things, such as other monsters, the bird-headed sphinx he met in the monster forest before, with feathered wings, and a mouth full of Shoot laser cannons, such as the magic that coexists with Western dragons, or races other than humans-the elves,

In this case, it is hard to say whether the system in his mind is as powerful as imagined.

At this moment, Chu Feng had no choice but to face the cruel reality. He looked away from the very exquisite dragon slaying mural: "Is there a dragon in the Barabara Empire?"

"That's not true." The hunchbacked old man replied: "The Barabara Empire, the surrounding principalities, and many noble castles are all mortal countries. There is no magical atmosphere or magical creatures here."

"However, in the royal family of the Barabara Empire, there is a kind of ability that can awaken the extraordinary in the body, so that people can become a great extraordinary person. This is why the Barabara Empire can slay dragons, because the first city lord is the extraordinary who was cultivated by the Barabara Empire. By."

Seeing that Chu Feng was interested in listening, the hunched old man relaxed his body, and continued: "Because this land does not have the legendary magic atmosphere, it is not suitable for those magicians who awaken magic to live and practice. Those powerful magic empires also look at it. If you don’t go here, you can only let the Barabara Empire pay taxes and rule us indirectly.”

Chu Xiong was also on the side, and then added: "We heard from those long-distance merchants that the Barabara Empire is actually just a powerful mortal empire nearby, but it is a little bit more advanced in technological development. Generally speaking, it is a backward feudal tradition. country."

"Of course, even the weakest magic empire can easily defeat a mortal country - because they have dragon knights and magicians... The former Barabara Empire was not an opponent at all, and it was not until there were extraordinary people that it stabilized. "

As if the arrangements were made, the hunchbacked old man continued to speak, as if he might feel that he was under a bit of pressure, and introduced: "The first city lord of this small city made a contribution in a battle against the invasion of a giant dragon that ran out of the monster forest. , was named the Lord of the Warcraft Town."

"Okay." Chu Feng shrugged his shoulders, as if he had a kind of resignation to his fate. Now he can only plan slowly and carefully explore the development.

Of course, he has an army of hundreds of cockroach-headed monsters in his hands, plus Chu Xiong and the Bull Demon King. If he doesn't want to pay taxes, the threat of the Barabara Empire is meaningless unless a war breaks out.

The good news is not that there is no good news. Since the giant dragon can be killed by the so-called transcendent, it does not seem to be impossible to deal with. After all, the Bull Demon King killed the city lord who was also a transcendent with an axe.

Of course, if Chu Feng returned to Earth and cooperated with the military behind Li Tenglong to get anti-aircraft guns out of his hands, it would not be difficult to slay the dragon.

"Then how many soldiers do I, the city lord, have, how much property do I have in my name? How much power do I have... You guys... forget it, just tell me about it."

Looking at the piece of monster meat in front of him, Chu Feng lost his appetite even more, so he quickly entered the working state, and gave instructions to the hunchbacked old man.

Apart from the previous problem of missing suddenly, the hunchbacked old man was quite capable, and he quickly let Chu Feng understand all his belongings.

As a city lord from another world, he now has a strong team of 180 cockroach-headed monsters, and about 30 city defense soldiers.

Of course, the establishment of the city's defense forces is actually a militia organized by the mercenary regiment in this small city.

The small town of Warcraft is located on the main road of transportation, because it is backed by the resource-rich Warcraft forest, and there are many small handicraft workshops. At the same time, the agricultural production is almost zero, and it can generate a GDP income of no more than 13 gold coins per year. These incomes still come from Earned by those long-distance merchants.

No matter from which point of view, before the tax was raised, the small town of Warcraft was backed by the Warcraft Forest, and had abundant flour resources. In fact, the flour in this world is taken from a tree called flour tree, crushed into powder, and can be used to make bread And noodles, it's a nice place.

It is a pity that now, Chu Feng has just replaced the fifth-generation city lord, and the good times are coming to an end. It should be that the Barabara Empire heard that Chu Feng had illegally replaced the original city lord.

"The reason why we will be taxed, have you inquired about it from the outside?" Chu Feng thought for a while, and asked the hunchbacked old man.

The hunchbacked old man smiled wryly, and replied: "My lord, the Barabara Empire also has to pay taxes to the more powerful magic empire. As for why the price is raised, and whether the price will be raised, the Barabara Empire depends on the mood of the magicians. "

This kind of transfer behavior is the most typical method of transfer behavior in Uncle Ram's country on the earth, such as printing US dollars, which is the most typical contradictory transfer behavior.

The Barabara Empire is similar to a comprador. It throws all the taxes it has to pay to the surrounding small principalities and the city lords of the aristocratic class, so that it can reduce its pressure and even get a benefit from it.

"What specialties does this small town of ours have that can earn gold coins?" There was no good way to save money, so Chu Feng turned to open source.

If he could find more ways to make money, paying the heavy tax of 10 gold coins would not be a problem, because Chu Feng would need a period of time to stabilize this small town and transform it into his own castle.

"We found out that this small town has a very special metal called glass iron. This kind of iron is very hard but light in weight. It is a good material for making weapons." Chu Xiong then replied: "In addition, we found that the City Lord's Mansion There is also a shop of its own, where you can sell flour, the quality is good, and it is very popular among nobles in other castles."

"Another major tax item is tolls. There is a surplus of about 100 gold coins a year. However, it is risky to collect tolls from long-distance merchants. If our tolls are too high, there will be fewer merchants and travelers passing by. , the income will not increase significantly." The hunchbacked old man added.

Chu Feng nodded. He somewhat understood the current situation. Actually, there were not many problems to be solved, at least in his opinion. He waved to the hunchbacked old man to let him back down.

"It seems that we can only find a way on these grains first, get them from the other side of the earth, sell the grains here, or copy all the things on the other side of the earth one by one. It may be a good idea to gather some gold coins, plus It can also have cultural influence." Chu Feng made up his mind, and said to Chu Xiong and the Bull Demon King in front of him.
