23, shock

"Money is not saved, but earned." Henry, the butler, thought about Sean's words thoughtfully.

There is some truth to this statement.

Sean glanced at the refugees and said to Henry:

"Ten thousand gold coins are definitely not enough to cover the territory's expenses for a year, of course I know that.

But we can find ways to make money ourselves instead of squeezing these desperate refugees.

Besides, after these preferential policies are implemented, I believe that many refugees who have entered the city or other towns will be willing to return to Hetan Town.

In the long run, the more refugees who are willing to return to Hetan Town, the more taxes we will receive in the future.

Therefore, it is still necessary to spend this money. Spend it generously and not be timid.

Of course, you still have to save money, and luxuries like the ‘Araleman’ you recommended to me are completely unnecessary.”

"Your Highness, this is Alasman." Henry reminded.

"It's almost the same. Regardless of whether it's an 'Araleman' or an 'Athasman', this type of luxury product is not within our scope of consideration. Our main consideration now is to quickly restore the territory's population."

"Okay." Henry, the butler, sighed and stopped talking.

...

Although His Highness Sean gave him the answer, Henry was still a little worried.

His Highness Xiaonian only said that he wanted to make money by himself, but how to make money? If he could really make money whenever he wanted, he wouldn't have to worry so much.

But it’s useless to think about this. It’s better to do the things in front of you first.

Butler Henry sighed again and went about other things while calculating the expenses of the territory.

...

After the butler Henry left, the captain of the guard, John, walked towards Sean, pointed at the group of children who had just come out of the slum and asked:

"Your Highness Sean, what should they do?"

"Oh, I almost forgot about them." Sean slapped his forehead and walked towards these children.

...

At this time, these children were standing there helplessly.

They heard from Sean that the welfare policies such as tax exemption and free food were indeed very good, but these welfare policies were only limited to the residents of the original Hetan Town. As for what they should do, Sean didn't say anything at all.

Seeing Sean walking towards them, the children hurriedly saluted Sean and stared at Sean nervously.

Sean glanced at the group of children and said seriously:

"I can take you to Hetan Town, but you are not the original residents of Hetan Town, so I cannot give you land for the time being.

But I won’t treat you badly. When you arrive in Hetan Town, I will arrange a job for you, take care of your food, food and accommodation, and you will be paid two gold coins a month.”

When the children heard Sean's words, they were surprised and happy.

They used to make a living in the slums mainly by stealing, working as gangsters, and becoming apprentices to some bad-tempered craftsmen.

However, the income from these ways of making a living is really pitiful, and it is difficult to earn more than one gold coin a month.

Unexpectedly, His Highness Sean would ask for two gold coins and take care of food and housing. This was treatment that I had never dreamed of before!

These children were trembling with excitement, and like the refugees from Hetan Town, they knelt down in front of Sean and worshiped him devoutly.

They had always believed in the God of Light before, but at this moment, Sean was the God of Light, and there was no difference in their eyes.

...

"But I would like to remind you that when you arrive in Hetan Town, you must correct the mistakes you made in the slums and abide by the laws of the territory.

If I find someone committing crimes such as stealing, fighting, bullying local residents, etc., don’t blame me for throwing him out of the town to fend for himself.”

Of course, Sean didn't forget that these children grew up in slums, so he warned them.

"Your Highness Sean, we will definitely be honest and we will definitely obey any instructions you give!" the children said one after another.

For this unimaginable treatment, everything Sean said was right, and they would never do anything against Sean's will again.

At this time, Henry, the butler, took out a pamphlet to register the names of the refugees. When he heard Sean's promise of "two gold coins per month for food and shelter", he subconsciously wanted to stop it.

But thinking of the welfare policy that Sean just announced, Henry could only sigh and turned his head and stopped looking here.

"Perhaps a big businessman that His Highness knows in the king will fund him!" Henry silently comforted himself in his heart.

...

After Sean finished instructing the children, he walked towards Windsor who was standing on the edge of the crowd.

He planned to recruit a few young and strong men among the people to serve as guards, and by the way, he would take Windsor to his side.

But at this moment, Sean heard the sound of swords clashing in the distance, as if someone was fighting with weapons in the distance.

The source of the fighting sound was behind Sean, so Sean turned and looked towards the place where the sound came from.

I saw three people fighting about a hundred meters away. One of them, a man in linen clothes, was very familiar to Sean. This was Matthew!

Why did Matthew get into a fight with someone else?

Sean took two steps towards Matthew, wanting to see the fight scene more clearly and see if Matthew wanted to help.

...

Matthew uses silver fighting energy. It seems that he is a silver-level strongman just like Earl River said.

The two people fighting Matthew were using bronze fighting spirit. Although it was two against one, Matthew was suppressing the two people.

Within a few moves, Matthew's two opponents were already in danger, and it seemed that it was only a matter of time before they were defeated.

It is worth mentioning that while Matthew was fighting the two enemies, the black and white kitten on his shoulder was still tightly clinging to his body without any sign of falling off.

The guards were also attracted by Matthew's battle. They turned to look at Matthew and took out the long swords from their scabbards.

.....

Just when Sean and the guards stopped to look into the distance, Sean felt a strange noise behind him, as if someone among the refugees was running towards him quickly.

"No! There is an assassin!"

Among all the people present, the captain of the guard, John, had the highest level of cultivation, and he was the first to react.

So he shouted loudly to remind everyone to pay attention.

But just now he focused all his attention on Matthew in the distance, but the assassin attacked from behind, so by the time he reacted, it was already too late, and a dagger wrapped in bronze fighting spirit was aimed at Sean's

It stabbed me in the back of my heart.
