The strongest God of War

Because of Lin Juedian's strong return, those who were still thinking about Dragon Palace all calmed down and became honest.

Half of the people in Donghai accepted Selina's rule, and when it was time to pay taxes, everyone paid all the taxes that should be paid on time.

For a while, the treasure house of Dragon Palace was finally filled, which made Selina very happy.

But Lin Juedian was a little dissatisfied, he felt that the people below had handed in too little.

Selina asked puzzledly: "That's a lot. When my father was here, the people below often made excuses not to pay or pay less. My father is not helpless.

This time, thanks to your reputation, they handed in the full amount. Speaking of which, I still have to thank you! "

As I said before, Haicheng in various places is very independent. As long as each city owner pays taxes, Haiwang will not care about them.

Therefore, the city lord has great power in his own Haicheng, and he can do whatever he wants. Haiwang's binding force on the city lord is almost zero.

The only sea city that Lin Juedian and Selina can control now is Dragon Palace City. As a result, the tax payment this time accounts for about [-]% of all taxes.

And the remaining 29 sea cities accounted for only [-]%, no wonder Lin Juedian was dissatisfied.

Lin Juedian said to Selina: "I think the best way to govern is for the city lords of Haicheng to be guided by us, so that the city lords will listen to us."

Selina said in surprise: "This is impossible. The lord of Haicheng has been elected by himself for more than 1000 years. We just need to admit it."

Lin Juedian said flatly: "Rules are meant to be broken. Impossibility now does not mean it will be impossible in the future. Of course, in order to prevent the people below from having an excuse to rebel, we can come city by city."

"What can you do?"

"We inspected the past city by city. If there is no problem, that's all. As long as we catch a little problem, we can make use of it!"

Selina smiled and said, "Okay, I've wanted to visit all the sea cities for a long time. In this way, we are ready now and we will set off next month!"

Lin Juedian asked, "Why did it take so long to prepare?"

"Of course we have to prepare for a little longer. When we go out, we must have a lot of outfits. The honor guards in the front row, the guards, and the equipment can't be worse than those of the city lord of Haicheng below. Otherwise, where will we put our faces?"

Lin Juedian said with a smile: "We are here to find problems this time, not to put on a show. If we go with a lot of fanfare, we won't be able to see the real situation."

"Then what should we do?"

"Of course it's a private server! In this way, we will only bring a thousand Azure Dragon Army and let them follow behind. The two of us will go ahead, and we will not use the Azure Dragon Army if we don't find any problems.

As long as there is a problem, put the city lord in prison, and then let the Azure Dragon Army take over the city defense! "

Selina giggled and said, "You're still good, so I'll listen to you."

The next day, Lin Juedian and Selina were on the road.

This time, Lin Juedian planned to inspect the fifteen sea cities in the Huaguo area first, and deal with this area first, and then deal with other areas.

Their first destination was Haima City, which was not far or near from Dragon Palace City, more than 2000 miles away.

Haima City is rich in seahorses, which is also the origin of the city's name.

This seahorse is not the seahorse it is called on land, but the seahorse on the seabed is a riding tool. Almost all the sea people travel on the seahorse.

Of course, other places also produce seahorses, but the seahorses produced in other places are not as good as those in Haima City. The seahorses here are the strongest and fastest.

Lin Juedian paid the entrance tax of two silver coins, and then said as he walked, "I heard that Haima City can produce 18 seahorses a year, but how much did they pay for this tax?"

Selina's face was a bit ugly, she whispered: "Thirty seahorses, and [-] gold coins, this is the most handed over in the past few decades!"

Lin Juedian smiled and said: "From this, we can know how much money the city lord of Haima City has earned. I heard that the Haima family has been the lord of the city for more than 500 years. God knows how much wealth their family has accumulated!"

The current lord of Haima City is called Haima Josh. He is a little more educated than Ulysses Ao, and he knows to put his last name first, so he has the name Haima Josh.

The population of Haima City is not large, only about 300 million people, much less than the 1000 million people of Dragon Palace City.

This is mainly because a large number of people are raising seahorses outside the city, so the population in the city is small.

Selina looked at the patrolling guards passing by with a bad expression on her face.

Because the equipment of these guards is much better than that of Dragon Palace City, it seems that Seahorse Josh is willing to provide good equipment for his men.

Their purpose is to seize the power of Seahorse Josh, and the stronger he is now, the more unfavorable it will be for Lin Juedian's plan.

It doesn't matter to Lin Juedian, when the personal strength reaches a certain level, the number of people is meaningless to him.

The two found a hotel to live in, and they planned to go shopping on the street the next day to see if they could find something about Josh the seahorse.

Lin Juedian and the others pretended to be merchants who came to sell horses from other places. When the shop assistant saw them, he was a little surprised and said, "It's just you two?"

Lin Juedian asked: "Why, two people can't do it?"

"It's not impossible, but how many horses can you two bring back? Although the horses in our Haima City are good, they have strong tempers.

An experienced groom can drive up to a hundred horses at a time. I don't think you seem to be experienced people. It is very good if one person can drive two horses.You drive four horses at a time, why are you running to Haima City?Can I earn back the toll at one time? "

Lin Juedian thought for a while and said, "This is our first time doing this business, and we have no experience. But we have money, so where can we hire grooms?"

"Usually, you can hire as many experienced grooms as you want, but it's not working out recently, you can't hire any of them!"

"why?"

"Because the horse king competition is about to start, all the grooms are preparing, and everyone wants to successfully tame the horse king, so that they will have no worries for the rest of their lives!"

Lin Juedian asked carefully before he knew what was going on in the horse king contest.

It turns out that there are many herds of wild horses around Haima City, which the city owner created on purpose.

Because wild horses are much better than ordinary domesticated horses, in order to maintain the vitality of the population, the city lord deliberately kept a herd of [-] wild horses around.

And each group of wild horses will have a champion horse, and all the grooms must first tame the champion horse, and then all the champion horses will compete for a few more rounds, and the champion will be the horse king.

The groom who tamed the horse king would get a lot of rewards, and at the same time, a horse king could be sold for a high price of several million gold coins.
