Chapter 199 Jeffrey

Later, Sherman asked someone to investigate why Jeffrey insisted on buying the fields of Sherman.

The reason why Jeffrey wanted to buy the fields was very simple.

At that time, an elder marquis felt that Morro City was beautiful and comfortable, so he lived there.

He wanted to spend the rest of his life there.

He planned to buy some good fields, but the number of good fields in the city was limited and many people were unwilling to sell them.

In order to please the marquis, Jeffrey gave him many good fields in the city.

The marquis took those fields and gave Jeffrey some feedback, which made Jeffrey get a lot of benefits.

Jeffrey was quite satisfied with that.

But the city had to hand in a certain amount of food every year as food tax.

The city had lost a large number of good fields and couldn't even pay the food tax for a while.

That was why Jeffrey came up with the idea of Sherman's fields.

But Sherman refused.
