Chapter 0012 Town Census
Before the elf worm was born, Liszt could not wait here stupidly. If he arranged the people on duty, he returned to the castle. Flower Town had contacted the outside world, and there was only one road crossing the Thorn Ridge, and few people came and went.
Only when the Count comes to collect taxes, the caravan will come with the Knights.
Now Flower Town has become Liszt's territory, and no one comes to collect taxes, so the caravan is afraid that the caravan will not be willing to come. So no one will have the idea of playing with the elves.
As for the residents of Flower Town, no one dared to have the idea of making elf insects.
The elves are the darlings of nature. They will only establish master-slave contracts to humans with magical powers - maybe the monsters can do it, but the monsters don't have this idea.
Magic refers to fighting spirit and magic, and the performance is different and the essence is the same.
Flower Town, the magical people, Liszt, Marcus, and Goltai, only these three. Marcus, Goltai has a name and surname on Coral Island, and even if the elves are stolen, they cannot escape. On Coral Island, no one dares to touch the things of the Tulip Family, Liszt is a member of the Tulip Family.
Therefore, there is no need to worry about the safety of peanut elves.
He came to his study room, closed the door, focused for a moment, waiting for the smoke to appear. After repeated exploration, the rules of the smoke to appear were fully mastered, and he just needed to calm down and see it.
As expected.
One minute later.
A twisted snake text appeared in front of me.
"Complete the mission and reward a peanut elf."
"As I thought, the peanut elf is the reward for the previous mission... This smoke mission that I don't know how it appeared, it seems that it cannot generate rewards out of thin air. The rewards are all things that exist in reality or are about to happen... The sublimation of Dou Qi is probably because I have accumulated a lot of strength and peanut worms should have appeared."
However, if there is no smoke mission, these rewards will probably be wasted.
He probably had to be an apprentice knight, and peanuts would die quietly.
At this time, the twisted Smoke Snake Text, new content has appeared.
"Task: How can the lord of the territory not even know the number of people they are entrusted. Please complete a census of the territory to understand the basic situation of the residents. Reward: New variety of tulips."
"Census? Isn't this what I'm planning to do? It seems that the smoke mission is to update the content based on my actual situation... What does the new variety of tulips mean? Is it a potion to give me?" Liszt guessed.
The growth of the tulip family is because of tulips.
Tulips are not only a kind of flowers, but also magic potions - magical medicinal materials. Potions are important auxiliary materials for assisting in the cultivation of magic and fighting spirit. Potions in tulips. In Liszt's memory, the highest plant can sell ten gold coins at a sky-high price.
If a new variety of tulips is released, it will definitely be a big killer to revitalize the economy.
Even if it is not a potion, it is dedicated to the Tulip Castle and assimilation of the family's tulip elves will increase the evolution and development potential of the elves.
"Then, next, we will vigorously supervise the census! What's so difficult about a town with a population of at least one or two thousand? Goltai really disappointed me. If it really doesn't work, I will supervise it myself."
One or two thousand people are not much larger than a school in Liszt’s hometown. Liszt, who has been the student president of the college, still trusts his abilities very much.
...
But this is an extremely difficult task for Goltaire.
During the handover, he asked the former government official, a knight sent by the Count, who had only done one thing in Flower Town - collecting taxes.
The Knight ignored all other things, and even the Knight himself had almost never visited the Flower Town, so he asked one of his entourage knights to manage them on his behalf.
The entourage knights also did only one thing here - collect taxes and ignore the others.
The taxes of the Flower Town include peanuts, milk, wheat, barley, oats, tomatoes and tulips. The Earl of Coral Island collects taxes every three months, taking away most of the crops that the Flower Town has not produced. After the Knights collects the tax, they no longer care about the Flower Town.
In remote areas, there is no prosperous Coke in Coral City.
So, Goltai sat in the dilapidated administrative office room in the town, looking at his only four clerks and six patrolmen, and felt that the census was an impossible task.
"Has none of you ever read a book or read a word? There is not a single scholar in the whole town?"
A clerk said embarrassedly: "Sir, there is no school in the town, and we have never left the town..."
The patrolman with a red rosacea said, "Maybe the old cobbler is literate. He came from another island. I saw a book at his house, such a thick and thick book. I even flipped it over it. There was a painting by a villain. But the old cobbler beat me up. He was a blind man, his leather shoes were very strong and he was also good at hitting people."
A blind man, Goltai ignored the old cobbler without even thinking about it.
Since there is no literate person, he can only say: "It's time to count. You can go to a village and count the number of households and people in the village for me!"
This should be a simple task, but a day passed, and when the clerk and patrolmen came back to report, Goltai wanted to go crazy.
He shouted loudly: "What, there are 18 households and 56 people in Peanut Village? Mr. Teacun, are you making me laugh!"
Mr. Teacun, whose full name is David Teacun, is a clerk with a tangled look on his face: "Sir, I don't have one. I counted it several times, I don't know if it's right, the number is different every time."
There are 23 households in Peanut Village and 92 people. This is the figure counted by Goltaire himself when Liszt rescued the peanut fields.
He really couldn't figure out why David Teacun could count 18 households and 56 people?
Don't think about it.
The number of households in other villages is definitely a nonsense.
Thinking of this, Goltai waved his hand powerlessly: "Okay, don't report it anymore. Keep the numbers for yourself. Go and move my horse over. I'm going to the castle to meet Baron Liszt."
When he rode a horse to the castle, Gortai complained to Liszt with an exaggerated expression: "You don't know that those clerks and patrolmen can't even count one to ten! You can't rely on them to complete the census. Liszt, I've written a letter and just waited for it to be sent. Maybe we can wait for them to come to the census again after they arrive."
"When will you have to wait?"
"Don't worry, Liszt, we have enough time, right?"
"I can't wait." Liszt knocked on the table with his finger, "Mr. Carter, who knows literacy in the castle?"
Carter bowed slightly and said, "Master, I can write letters and read books, so can Thomas, well, Mrs. Mossen should do it."
"So, please ask Mrs. Mosen and Thomas to come over, and also, help me call Teacher Marcus and my four entourage knights over, I remember they all write."
