Chapter 423 Bastard?
Early the next morning, Field yawned while listening to the birds chirping outside.
"Bring me some oysters." Field said with dark circles under his eyes, "It's strange, why are there sparrows in the night? I only bought some pigeons."
"Uh, what kind of food are oysters?" The maid Scissor hesitated and asked weakly.
"It's okay, forget about oysters. No one in the empire eats them, and the Night Veil Territory doesn't rely on the sea. The next goal is to recapture the Morning Veil Territory and have a seafood feast in the future."
Patting his face to wake himself up, Field smiled and said, "Let's have a steak and wheat porridge. Although I shouldn't eat big fish and meat so early in the morning, I'm really hungry."
"Sir, you should pay attention to your rest. You haven't had a good rest since you came to the Night Territory." Scissors burst into tears. The young master who has been serving him since he was a child has to work so hard. It is so heartbreaking. "Nobles' evening parties and gatherings , go and participate more, you are a real noble, you should eat, drink and have fun, and leave the hard work to the servants. "
"Okay, okay."
Field smiled and nodded repeatedly.
"I want to eat meat too, two portions!" Asheena hummed a tune, wiped her wet hair, sat at the dining table and complained that she was hungry. Then she looked at Tisifa who was walking dully, "Little angel, do you want it?" ?”
"No, no, thank you."
Shaking her head blankly, Tisifa obviously didn't calm down. She sniffed her palms, then her arms, and even opened her collar to fan: "It must have lost its smell. Where are the tooth marks? Why do you bite, Field?" ”
"Uh, I don't know either." Field was embarrassed.
Today, Tisifa has more of a wifely charm. The round and slender long legs, paired with many eye-catching rabbits, are the focus of the crowd.
"It doesn't smell, don't worry." Ashina held Tisifa's hand with the expression of a good sister.
"Why did these two guys become so friendly?"
Field shook his head in amusement and was too lazy to think about it. Instead, he took out the territory's income and expenditure statement to take a look at the territory's economic situation.
There are four main categories of Nightfall Territory income: taxation, production, trade, and plunder. The tax revenue is negligible. Including the redemption fees of slaves, 232 gold coins were collected this month, which is so small that it makes people laugh. This is mainly caused by too few people in the territory and the internal circulation is not opened.
The income from production is better than taxation. Soldiers and some free people are the main force of consumption, and they can contribute more than 700 gold coins in fiscal revenue a month.
Trade is a big project. If you run a business, the net profit will be around 50,000 gold coins. The benefits of plundering are even more terrifying, as evidenced by the explosion of armor, food, and hundreds of thousands of gold coins. The only drawback is that it can only be plundered once or twice.
"Hey~ I can't read anymore, I'm addicted to plundering." Field put down the report, "A huge amount of gold coins have to be invested in infrastructure, building houses, the army and feeding the people. The money on hand may seem like a lot, but actually it won't last long after spending it."
When Asheena heard Field's complaint, she immediately asked: "Sir, why do we need to build a house? Don't everyone have a house to live in?"
"Because it can improve living standards, the stilts will fall down if they are blown by the wind. In addition, building houses is a good way to provide money to the residents." Field said cheerfully, "I have long been unhappy with the shacks, so I must Let everyone live in brick and stone houses.”
"What a great idea." Asheina looked admiring.
Tisifa was also shocked, and even forgot some strange things. Her mood immediately improved, and she praised sweetly: "You actually want to give money to the people? Field, if the Goddess of Holy Light has a spokesperson, it must be you."
"It's just economic means. Raising the tax to 100%, or seizing the people as slaves are just low-level methods. The high-level and civilized means are to make the people willingly pay the 'tax' to 300%, and they don't know it yet."
"Of course, the lives of the people will be better, but as a lord, you will live a better life. This is a win-win situation."
"Oh, that's it." Asheina shook her head repeatedly.
"But this is a long-term matter. I build public facilities for economic development." Field gestured twice in the air. "As for now, can't we have some good news?"
Thinking of this, Field took a bite of his steak angrily.
Just after breakfast, the good news came.
The keeper responsible for taking care of the giant wolf brought good news.
"A grown-up is born, a grown-up is born!"
The breeder was yelling outside the castle. As a citizen of the lord, he did not dare and did not have the authority to run into the lord's castle to report.
"What's wrong, you vulgar idiot!" The castle guard was so angry that he almost drew his sword and killed someone. "If you scream again, I will send you to see your wife."
"It's a giant wolf. After three months and seven days of pregnancy, the giant wolf was finally born." The breeder was sweating profusely and immediately realized his mistake, "I'm sorry, this soldier, I have no education."
"Wait, I'll report it to the housekeeper first." The soldier rolled his eyes, "If you have anything to report in the future, and it's not an urgent military situation, just go to the city hall and report it. Your Excellency also needs to rest."
Field naturally heard the news and immediately walked out of the castle. He smiled at the soldiers and nodded, then said to the breeder: "Take me to have a look."
"I want to see it too!" Ashina was very curious about what the descendants of dragon-bred wolves would look like.
Arriving at the livestock farm, Field quickly walked to the giant wolf's enclosure.
Immediately I saw a large litter of "puppies", black, black and gray, black and white, and even completely white pups. They were curled up next to their mother, barking, the size of domestic dog pups, cute and cute .
"It's a little different from what I imagined." Ashina blinked silently, and after releasing the domineering dragon wolf, she ruthlessly mocked, "This must be Hajiwang."
Field didn't hold back: "Hahaha, it's my fault. I usually shouldn't call the black wolf prosperous, but now he is really prosperous."
"Ouch..." The dragon wolf felt like it was struck by lightning, and two lines of clear tears fell from its eyes.
The reputation of his own divine weapon was destroyed in one fell swoop.
"Okay, I'm teasing you."
After clearing his throat, Field patted the dragon wolf's head to express relief, then took out the identification book and used the identification on the cub.
A burst of black light emerged, slowly turning into pages and adding to the appraisal book.
"Sure enough, it's a new species! Don't be fooled by appearances."
Field's eyes lit up. The appraisal book would only turn pages when identifying known things, but would not add new pages. Obviously, the dragon-born wolves, like the Empire's griffons, created a whole new species, and not just one.
"This is the power of the living artifact."
Opening the identification book, Field looked carefully at the first page, which showed a mixed-haired giant wolf pup and a white giant wolf pup.
