Chapter 739: Chapter 249: This Will Be a War of Liberation (10,000 Words) (4)

It is one of the main sources of income for the Manor Lord.

And on the other hand, the source of income naturally comes from Morgan Town, now controlled by Janet.

Although Boer previously brought him hundreds of Free People from Morgan Town.

It still doesn’t affect the fact that over three thousand Free People continue to live in Morgan Town.

To continue living in the town, they have to pay various taxes.

If they rent land from the Manor Lord for farming, they must pay land rent taxes.

As long as they live in the town, they must pay a poll tax.

If the Free People want to trade in the market, they must pay a certain percentage of a transaction tax.

Even if they engage in crafts like weaving, blacksmithing, pottery, etc., they must pay craft taxes to the Manor Lord.

The various taxes from the three thousand people in Morgan Town are also a huge source of income.

Just like Frank Manor now increases the proportion of transaction taxes and passage taxes on merchants.

And forcibly levies property taxes.

That would be a considerable amount of income!

Even.

Almost equal to an entire year’s crop yield from Morgan Town!

This is why both Frank Manor and the other Three Great Estates want to control Morgan Town.

They all want to obtain the desirable tax revenue from Morgan Town.

Therefore.

He can fully utilize Frank Manor’s interest in Morgan Town.

To attack Morgan Town!

Divert all the armed forces from Frank Manor.

While they prepare to support Morgan Town.

The two armies converge on the open plains for a direct confrontation!

With his current force of three hundred standard plate armor heavy cavalry and two hundred heavy infantry.

Plus three hundred and fifty light infantry and five hundred longbowmen.

As well as a large number of light infantry.

He doesn’t need to fear Frank Manor at all!

Even in close combat, the casualties would be far less than a siege battle!

With similar physical conditions, the number of fully armored soldiers is enough to determine the outcome of a battle!

Thinking of this.

Lynn couldn’t help but exhale a breath of warm air.

As the military power of the territory grows stronger.

He now has to consider not only the food supply for the townspeople but also the future development of the territory.

Within the territory’s ability, to eliminate all threats incubating or emerging outside the territory.

Before they form a scale, nip them in the bud.

Otherwise, endless troubles would await him.

Even if this external campaign causes massive casualties among his soldiers and severely weakens the military power of his territory.

He still has to execute it.

Moreover.

Military orders are as solid as a mountain, unshakable.

The orders given to Rose and Wesley cannot be changed.

Otherwise, his authority as the Lord will be questioned!

Lynn’s gaze once again turned to the Lord’s Square.

On the square, dozens of children were playing around the bonfire, running and laughing.

They were carefree and innocent.

At this moment, they and the townspeople are unaware.

Their Lord will lead the soldiers to war at dawn tomorrow!

After withdrawing his gaze, Lynn returned to the reception hall.

The dishes on the dinner table and the leftover food had been cleaned up.

After freshening up, Lynn returned to the lord’s bedroom, lay on the big bed, and fell into a comfortable sleep.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Under the night sky, within Frank Manor.

Janet, wearing a cream-colored silk robe, sat leaning on the throne in the reception hall.

Perhaps because the silk robe was designed too low-cut.

The rounded and fair skin on Janet’s chest was tantalizingly visible.

The rest was barely covered by the silk.

At this moment, Janet rested her chin on her right hand, supported by the throne’s armrest.

Her eyes stared straight at the stone tiles on the floor, somewhat lost in thought.

She seemed to be contemplating something.

Letting the breeze blow in from the gate, rustling her robe without any concern.

The undulating curves went unnoticed by her.

Just as Janet was frowning in thought.

The sound of footsteps echoed outside the reception hall.

The steps were heavy, accompanied by the crisp sound of metal striking the ground.

And they were approaching.

Janet looked up.

She saw Joao, dressed in chain armor, stepping into the reception hall.

His two-meter-tall and burly frame, combined with the chain armor and iron helmet.

Made him appear like a steel beast.

As Joao walked closer and finally stopped before her.

Janet looked directly at Joao and asked, "Uncle Joao, have you negotiated with the weapon merchant from Kakasong City?"

Joao didn’t waste any words and replied, "It has been negotiated and the trade is complete."

"A total of five hundred longswords and scimitars, two hundred wooden shields, and two hundred sets of chain armor have all been delivered to the castle."

"The recruited soldiers can now be armed."

Turning the conversation, Joao added, "However, to purchase this batch of armor and weapons, a huge sum of Gold Pounds was spent."

"Just the two hundred sets of chain armor cost nearly two thousand Gold Pounds."

"With the weapons and round shields, the total reached over two thousand three hundred."
