Black Knight From Blue Star

Chapter 115 Hukaro City is in the palm of your hand

 Hardi wants to teach the entire city of Hukaro a very important lesson.

 During the sixteen years of absence of the lord, the people of Hukaro City lived quite freely.

The freedom to evade taxes, the freedom to appropriate what belongs to the master as one's own, and...the freedom to be the master of one's own country.

But now the new city lord is back, some people don’t want to let go of the power and wealth in their hands, and want to continue their previous happy life

 They want to test and slowly create trouble for Hadi, making him lose sight of one thing.

 As for a young man, no matter how powerful he is on the battlefield, how powerful can he be in politics and managing territory?

 This is a very reasonable idea.

 Because in this world, the circulation of knowledge is quite poor. Generally speaking, those who are good at writing cannot be good at martial arts.

 There are people who are very good at both aspects, but they are all veterans, and they usually live over thirty years old.

 Hardy is a sixteen-year-old boy. Since he is making all the difference on the battlefield, he probably does not have much experience in management.

 You can trick him.

 Then he put himself on the gallows.

Several industry leaders were slowly drifting in the breeze. There was a pool of yellow water stains under everyone's feet.

 Every time the guillotine was raised, a head rolled down from the high platform.

 Blood shot out from the prisoner's neck, like a red fountain.

At first, the citizens who came to watch the show were relatively calm. They even laughed and shouted excitedly when they saw the big figures hanging in the shape of hangings.

 But as the street gangsters were beheaded one by one, their smiles slowly faded.

 The pool of blood on the ground is getting wider and wider, and the smell of blood in the air is getting stronger and stronger.

Gradually, they no longer screamed joyfully when they were beheaded.

 Only the struggles and cries of those who were beheaded before death could be heard in the central square.

 Gradually, the number of people in the central square began to decrease.

Many people couldn’t stand the excitement and left.

After the last person was beheaded, Hadi saw only a few scattered groups of people in the square, smiled, and left.

 The executioners began to clean up the scene and wash away the blood on the ground with water.

 Collect the head and transport the prisoner's body outside for burial.

 But the "leaders" are still hanging on the gallows, fluttering in the wind.

Hadi planned to hang them for three days before disposing of their bodies.

This deterrent effect should be similar to that of hanging street lights.

And for a long time to come, the meat industry in Hukaro City will not be doing well, but the business of the tavern will be better.

Although the number of people who came to watch the "public trial" was only about 10,000, word of mouth spread that the entire city of Hukaro knew what Hadi had done.

From then on, his evil reputation was established.

After a long period of time, he issued the order. Very few people in Hukaro City dared to disobey it, which saved a lot of effort.

The reason why Hardy is so eager to take Hukaro City into his hands and settle down is simple: the open beta is about to begin.

 Calling carefully, it’s just over three months.

 Three months is actually a long time for an individual, but when considered in terms of the ‘development’ of a city, it seems very short.

 Sometimes, any urban project can take several years.

 Especially when this kind of productivity is not very developed.

Hardi must seize the opportunity to hold Hukaro City firmly in his hands before the ‘open beta’.

More than a month has passed.

 After a public trial, the tax revenue of Hukaro City reached forty-six gold coins. After excluding administrative personnel expenses, military expenses, and the basic operating expenses of the lord's palace, there were actually fifteen gold coins left.

 There are already quite a few.

This is pure profit, and in Hardy's opinion, Hukaro City has not even tapped half of its potential. Hardy was in his study, calculating the money needed for the next city relief effort.

 Because the weather has started to turn cold, and a cold wave will come soon.

Most people in Jukaro City will survive, but it's hard to say in the slums.

 They don’t even have much to eat.

 It is estimated that one-third of the population will die in one winter.

 In Hardy's opinion, this is not allowed.

In his opinion, everyone in Hukaro City is a labor force. There is no way to collect taxes from them now. That is because he has not helped them find a way to generate profits.

 These laborers cannot die casually.

“We have to find a way to make them move.” Hardy chewed the end of his pen and thought hard.

At this time, Lilian knocked on the door and came in, saying: "Master, please see me in Xixi."

 “Invite him in.”

Soon, Xixi came in from the outside, his face full of joy: "Sir Hardy, the city drainage channel has been completed according to your requirements, please go and inspect it."

"No need. Yesterday's heavy rain was the best acceptance." Hardy smiled.

It rained heavily yesterday, but this time, no part of Hukaro City was flooded. All the rainwater was drained into the sewers and flowed into the river outside the city.

　　Taking out the appointment document that he had prepared earlier, Hardy pointed to a point in the south of the ground and said: "This is the village of Yier. The specialty is ore. The village has a population of more than 200, which is more than enough to support a knight family."

 “Is this place my territory?” Xixi’s eyes sparkled.

Hadi nodded and said: "Your long-term mission after taking office is to repair and maintain the road from Ir Village to Boris City, to ensure that this important road is unobstructed and that there cannot be any small forces such as robbers and robbers. Show up to ensure the safety of the caravans from both places, do you understand?"

Hand nodded: "I understand."

"Although it is a long-term mission, it is actually not difficult." Hardy said with a smile: "I know that you are very capable, and I will definitely not be willing to be just a little knight in the future. But my current identity is Viscount, and this is my The highest noble status that can be conferred. If one day you want to go to another place, tell me and I will see you off. "

"Thank you, Mr. Hardy." Xixi looked at the young man in front of him gratefully, and then asked: "If Mr. Hardy is promoted one day? Can I also be promoted to a higher level?"

 “It’s not that easy.”

 “It’s hard to say.”

 Xixi smiled and then left.

 In his opinion, Hardy had appeared in a CG animation a few months ago.

 From a common sense point of view, only very powerful plot characters can be qualified to be on camera.

 Now, Hardy has become a lord, which indeed confirms Bing Xixi’s idea.

In his opinion, instead of trying to please the other big nobles who don't know the depth and look down on others, it's better to hold the thigh of this black knight.

 At least... Mr. Hardy doesn't have that disgusting aristocratic air.

 Moreover, there is a bottom line in doing things.

As for the forty-odd people killed not long ago, Xixi knew very well that all of them deserved to die.

With the decision made, Xixi took steps more firmly, and then he saw a very beautiful woman with an excellent figure passing by him and entering the lordship of Hadi.

Hmm...this seems to be Mrs. Sissi.

 Wait, she came to see Hadi?

Will this man and his daughter alone cause death?

Bing Xixi really likes Mrs. Sissi. After all, the latter’s temperament and every part of her body are better than his XP.

“Damn it, this kid Hardy’s luck is so good, why don’t we turn against him?”

Xi Xi said angrily to the live broadcast room.

 Then get a happy laugh.
