Chapter 386 The power of hope(2/2)

And if this dream is shattered, her property will be taken away by the gangsters and nobles in various ways. Her labor force alone will not be enough to support her children, because even the most friendly lord will not fight with Li Ke.

Same, giving such loose taxes.

The 30% tax is simply charity!

Because she was afraid that such a dream would be shattered, she couldn't help but mutter.

"Alsace, that bastard!"

In the past, she had always heard how wise Arthas was and how wise Terenas of Lordaeron was.

Indeed, the orcs were defeated under the command and help of His Highness Terenas, and the Kingdom of Stormwind was restored as a result, and they returned to their own country.

But why do the children born to such a king have to be in trouble with poor people like them?

They have just had a good few months!

If a good prince doesn't act like that, why would he cause a plague or a strange Frostmourne?!

"Yeah, Arthas is a bastard."

The drinkers also felt uneasy. Everything here was like a dream, and Li Ke's taxes were not enough to maintain the city. Now in order to deal with the incident in Alsace, expenditures have to be increased or even specially reduced.

What does this say about their welfare?

It explained Lord Li Ke’s original plan because something went wrong in Alsace.

At this time, some people spoke again.

"I heard that Princess Gianna came here this time just to seek help from Mr. Li Ke to fight against Arthas. This is why Mr. Li Ke started to prepare."

This Gianna...

This idea appeared in the minds of all the drinkers, but many of their jobs were due to the establishment of trade with Kul Tiras, so not many people said bad things about Jaina.

At this moment, a hooded drinker spoke.

"Speaking of which, if our lord needs us to go to the battlefield..."

"Count me in."

The former part-time worker spoke without hesitation. He took a deep breath. Although he only lived here for half a year, Li Ke gave him hope.

He has never forgotten that when he used to cut wheat for those farmers, those who had been working part-time all their lives tried their best to get more bread and hide it, and how hard the owners tried to prevent them from taking away the bread.

How could an old man who had been doing odd jobs all his life, with whom he had met several times, die silently on the side of the street?

But here, in Li Ke's territory, he saw the reality that he could earn enough wages to buy land through his own efforts, and he could learn mathematics and painting, and learn more.

How to farm, how to treat diseases... these things were things that he had never dared to think about before. They were things that could last a lifetime, and could even be relied on for generations!

If this place is broken, his hope will be broken too.

Although he might die in the war, he was willing to believe that Li Ke, who had given him hope, would not let him die in vain. Li Ke had people teach them mathematics, their writing, their painting, and all kinds of life skills. He definitely did not let them

Go and die in vain! And...

He would rather die than go back to the dark and hopeless time before!

Even for hope, a possibility, he is willing to take this risk!

As soon as his words fell, most people in the tavern raised their glasses.
