After finishing the endgame left behind by the battle, it was almost dawn.

The fireplace in the room burns and the candles shaking.

Sean returned to the bedroom on the second floor of the castle, sat in front of the desk, looked at the dim sky outside the window, and rubbed his eyebrows that were slightly swelling and painful.

During this period, due to the troubles of thieves, I was restless every day and I had never had a good night's sleep.

Now, the notorious Fangfang Thieves Group, under its ambush plan, except for the leader Fangfang and two thieves who escaped by chance, all the other thieves were killed.

After tonight, outside the northern wasteland, the Fanged Thieves Group was completely destroyed.

By the time tomorrow, the corpses of the thieves were hung in the square in the center of the town to establish their authority, it would probably take not long before this incident would spread throughout the northern wasteland.

In the future, if the thieves in the border forest want to attack the Black Hawk territory, they must consider their strength carefully to avoid the end of the thieves like the trousers.

The current thief crisis is temporarily lifted.

But Sean didn't feel particularly relaxed, because the situation facing Blackhawk Territory this winter is really too difficult.

First of all, according to the report of the government official Kukochi, the crop harvests of the entire Black Hawk territory are generally not very good.

Although some annual taxes were delayed and exempted, most serf families did not have enough food to spend the winter.

There are also the thirty-one Aberdo war horses that have just been captured, which require a large amount of forage and crops to feed. Otherwise, it will be difficult for them to maintain strong combat power and physical strength.

Secondly, the territory affiliated tax of Snow Wolf City, although it can be delayed until next year at the latest, it will always be paid.

In addition to the above things, if Sean wanted to develop and strengthen his territory, he would need to buy a large number of serfs and hire many craftsmen and knights to build and defend the territory.

All of this requires a lot of money to support it.

If Blackhawk Town remained poor and desolate as before, he would not be able to do anything, and life would only become more and more difficult.

Thinking of this, Sean sighed deeply, and for the first time he deeply realized that it was so difficult to be the leader.

Especially when it comes to being a small lord in a bitter and cold place, it is even more difficult.

"We must find ways to make money and increase the fiscal revenue of the territory, the faster the better!"

Thinking of this, Sean thoughtfully tapped the table with his fingers, planning how to recapture the iron ore in Qingshishan.

As long as the iron ore is reclaimed, the mine will continuously produce ore every day, so that the territory will have a steady stream of fiscal revenue every day.

Now the entire mine is firmly held by the Baron of Greystone Castle next door. If you want to retake it, there will be conflicts and wars between the two sides.

But so what?

The mine originally belongs to the Black Hawk territory, could it be given to the Graystone Castle for free?

As a lord, if you can't even see your own things, you will be a nonsense lord from now on.

At this point, Sean made a decision in his mind.

When Morris caught the escaped thief back, he was about to start preparing to regain the iron mine. There was also the Baron of Graystone Castle, who relied on his wealth and power to bully the Black Hawk territory for so many years. It was his turn to add interest this time.

Humph, I own a 'Warm Mall of Ten Thousand Worlds', and I am afraid that a baron from Graystone Castle will not be able to do it?

He secretly tried the weapons and equipment he had taken off the thief before. The mall could not convert the exchange price, but the real money was fine, and the quantity was quite large.

The guys from Fangs Thieves Group did not come in vain this trip, at least they left so many gold, silver and coins for themselves.

Thinking of this, Sean gently stroked the transparent pendant on the necklace and silently recited in his mind: "I want to convert them all into consumption points!"

With a tingling sound, a mechanical lifting sound immediately came from my mind.

"There is currently the remaining private consumption account in the mall: 22,000 consumption points!"

"1886 grams of gold was detected, and the converted price was 405 consumption points 1 grams, with a total value of 763,830 consumption points. Is it included in the mall consumption account..."

"3841 grams of silver, the converted price is 5 consumption points and 1 grams, with a total value of 19,205 consumption points. Is it included in the mall consumption account..."

"Currently, the lord's personal new wealth statistics are: 783035 consumption points."

"Will you transfer 30% immediately and enter the mall's special consumption account?"

Sean agreed without thinking: "Transfer in now..."

It is too troublesome to count the lord's personal total wealth. It's great. Every time I get new fiscal taxes or gold and silver items, after converting the value, I transfer 30% to the mall's special consumption account on the spot, saving both sides of the confusion.

The value of these gold and silver coins just now is 783,035 consumption points, and 30% of them are transferred out, which is 234,910 consumption points, plus the remaining 22,000 consumption points before.

At present, Sean has more than 250,000 weapons purchase and consumption points in the Wanjie Weapon Mall.

In this way, he has the money to enter the mall to buy weapons.

To be on the safe side, Sean decided to let the mall deduct more than 230,000 consumption points that had just been transferred to the special account.

Anyway, there are so many gold coins, so some gold coins are deducted first.

As for the consumption points in the account, go in and buy weapons before using them later.

The advantage of this is that it will prevent the future construction of territory or the payment of salaries of the Knights and government officials from using up all gold and silver coins. At that time, the mall will not deduct gold and silver items, and directly deduct the food and food in his warehouse, which will be troublesome.

Although gold and silver goods are of high value, their importance is much worse than those of food crops.

Once there is no food, the entire territory will be in crisis.

Soon, according to the mall's inspection and calculation, 25 gold coins and several silver coins were deducted after the 234,910 consumption points transferred to the mall account.

The sound of lifting in my mind sounded again, "Will deduct it immediately?"

“Deduct it now!”

Sean answered without thinking.

In an instant, the 25 gold coins and a few silver coins on the desktop disappeared out of thin air.

Now, there are only 57 gold coins and 160 silver coins left on the desktop.

Sean pulled out the box hidden under the bed and put all the gold and silver coins on the table inside.

During this process, he recalculated the contents in the box.

There were 37 gold coins left before, plus today's 57 gold coins, he owned a total of 94 gold coins.

The number of silver coins is relatively large. There were more than 300 silver coins left before, and today's 160 silver coins, there were almost nearly 500 silver coins in total.

As for the copper coins, because there are too many, they are all stored in the secret vault of the castle, with a number of tens of thousands.

After doing all this, Sean went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Chapter completed!
