"Kahn, what's the matter?"
"Lord Lord"
"A herd of large wild boars with cubs has invaded the fields within the territory."
"The guards have driven them all out and hunted one of them down."
Kahn still had a straight face, without any expression.
He told Zoro about this matter without any fluctuation in his mood.
It seemed as if this matter was as simple to him as eating and drinking.
"Okay, I get it."
"Just put it outside the castle first."
"I'll have Monica come over and deal with it later."
"Go and do your own business first!"
But Kahn did not leave, but stood quietly in front of Sauron.
In the memory of his predecessor, Kahn reported on the affairs of the territory.
After getting his order, he would turn around and leave without any hesitation.
"Captain Kahn, is there anything else?"
Kahn's anomaly today made Sauron feel a little interested.
"Lord Lord!"
"And..."
"Huh?" Zoro tilted his head.
Kahn gritted his teeth and expressed his thoughts.
"There is also the matter of the Venn family, the serfs in the territory."
"Because the wild boar invaded the field that their family was responsible for farming."
"so what?"
"So...so I hope the lord can reduce some of their family's winter taxes this year."
In another world, the food harvest occurs in mid-October and mid-April every year.
The noble lords would receive a share of the land output of the serfs in a certain territory.
Of course there is a production limit.
If the land yield is lower than a certain yield.
Then the output of the serfs this season will belong to the lord they are attached to.
This was also the price that serfs had to pay for cultivating the lord's land. It was called winter tax and summer tax.
Kahn knew how naive his ideas were.
Compared to other noble lords who charge 80% of output or even more.
The Isis family only received 70% of the output of the serfs in the territory.
It can be said that he is a very kind nobleman.
There are no other miscellaneous taxes during this period.
But even so, the life of the serfs was still poor.
If he doesn't do something, the Wien family won't be able to survive this long winter and make it to next summer's harvest.
He looked at Sauron who was motionless, with a pair of squinting dead fish eyes staring at him.
Kahn didn't say another word.
With firm eyes, he looked at Sauron without any evasion.
Although on the surface Kahn seemed calm and composed, without the slightest hint of timidity.
But the heart in his chest was beating wildly.
It looks like a dinosaur is scurrying around inside.
Zoro's dull eyes made him feel a lot of pressure.
"Can I take this as your prayer?"
