The candidate for the new consul of Mukuso City was finally officially announced. As expected by the people of Mukuso, Commander Suldak was officially appointed as the consul of Mukuso City and speaker of the House of Representatives. Under normal circumstances, these two important positions would not matter.
It is impossible for them to appear in one person at the same time, but Mukuso City has always been a special case.
The citizens soon discovered that the newly appointed Archon was not only capable of driving away the demonic army from hell, but also had a clear and complete plan for city construction. His city expansion plan was to expand Lord McDonnell's recent decades of development.
Something I haven’t had the courage to do in years.
Surdak single-handedly promoted the post-war urban restoration and economic recovery of Mukuso City. Due to the implementation of a one-year tax-free policy, a large number of businessmen poured into Mukuso City.
Although there will be no tax revenue in Mukuso City this year, Finance Officer Basil was somewhat surprised to discover one thing. Although Mukuso City is currently very poor, the nobles living in Mukuso City
They are not actually poor.
When businessmen poured into the city of Mukuso, reviving the city that was almost completely abandoned after the war, these nobles suddenly realized the business opportunities hidden here, and they rushed to the city hall to buy street shops.
Then sell it to businessmen who are eager to find a store.
Although the city's tax revenue has been almost zero in the past three months, through the sale of these street shops, the treasury reserves of the Mukuso Finance Department are higher than ever before. Although these gold coins are still filled into the huge pits of urban construction, but
As the city expands, those new properties will bring more wealth to the city hall.
Suldak knocked on the table, thinking that Financial Officer Basil was distracted.
Financial Officer Basil hurriedly coughed a few times to cover up his panic and embarrassment. Then he stood up and said to Suldak: "In the next six months, I will control the housing prices in the shopping street, so my subordinates will resign first!
"
Surdak nodded.
As soon as Treasurer Basil left the consul's office, Count Ian, the Minister of Logistics, knocked on the door and walked in.
Since the last farce, the relationship between the two has almost reached a freezing point. Even if they meet in the city hall, they will turn their heads away from each other.
Recently, the Logistics Department has been neglected a lot. Since Financial Officer Basil directly allocated gold coins to the First Construction Engineering Team, a large amount of materials were purchased by the First Construction Engineering Team with their own money. In this way, the Logistics Department seems to have suddenly been stripped of its authority.
When the whole city hall was extremely busy, the logistics department became more and more idle.
This kind of leisure gave the officials of the Logistics Department a sense of crisis.
So they began to complain secretly in private, and the Minister of Logistics, Earl Ian, had no choice but to bite the bullet and find Suldak.
Suldak picked up the tea cup and asked: "Earl Ian, you said that the logistics department wants to find something to do?"
Thea walked in from the outside and brought a cup of black tea to Earl Ian.
Earl Ian quickly thanked him.
Then he said to Suldak: "That's true. Our logistics department also wants to share some of the burden for the consul."
"This is a good thing!" A faint smile appeared on Suldak's face.
Then he added: "Actually, even if you don't come, I'm just going to find you."
"This time I plan to ask the logistics department to do a large inventory of city hall supplies in the near future. I really want to know what materials are actually piled in the warehouse of the logistics department. I don't want the materials piled in the warehouse to end up moldy and rotten. Some materials
When they should be used, they must be consumed, and the quantities of some strategic reserve materials must also be counted."
"Currently, the lord army is being formed in the Ganbu plane. We might as well take out some of the war-ready storage materials first, and it won't be too late for us to replenish the inventory later."
Count Ian did not expect that Consul Suldak wanted to thoroughly investigate the material management of the Logistics Department. In fact, the accounts of this part became very confusing after the city of Mukuso was breached. Now that he raised these things, he would at least have some knowledge.
Time to prepare.
Logistics Minister Earl Ian stood up immediately and said to Suldak: "I will take people to the remaining warehouses throughout the city to inventory supplies."
Suldak nodded again and asked: "Is there anything else?"
"No more, I'll take my leave!"
Earl Ian stood up immediately and quickly left Suldak's office.
Guard Chief Hamas was the one who chose to join the team relatively late. However, since the last case of malfeasance in the guard camp, he immediately decided to express his intention to surrender to Surdak. Now it is all the people around Surdak who have come to join him.
One of the best among these people.
With the influx of a large number of outsiders into Mukuso City, the security of Mukuso City will only get worse. However, the Hamas chief can maintain the security of Mukuso City so stable in a short period of time.
It is almost inseparable that he spent a lot of time reorganizing the guard camp.
This time he came to Governor Surdak to report on the work of the guard camp, and also wanted to know what Surdak would focus on next in Mukuso City.
Suldak sat on a chair, pinched the corners of his eyes, and then said to the Hamas chief:
"For foreign adventurers, businessmen, workers, civilians in the city, and nobles, I need the guard camp to establish a corresponding system in Mukuso City to let them know what they can and cannot do, especially
They are outsiders with weak legal consciousness, and they must be warned, educated, and finally punished.”
Walking out of Suldak's office, the Hamas chief finally let out a long breath and scratched his head worriedly.
For the knights in the guard camp under his command, how could the Hamas commander not know their usual behavior?
To implement it according to Surdak's requirements, to put it simply: you don't have to kowtow when you meet nobles, you don't have to be superior when you meet civilians, and you have to treat outsiders equally when you meet them. The question is how can this be done?
Those thoughts have been deeply ingrained in the minds of the knights in the guard camp and have become a lifestyle habit. Some old thoughts will not be changed easily.
The Hamas chief touched his fleshy neck and wiped the sweat on his head with a handkerchief.
I thought to myself: The Archon has really given himself a big problem!
In accordance with Suldak's request, Baron Martino divided the expansion of Mukuso's outer city into two parts: urban infrastructure and city wall area planning.
Citizens can buy land in outer urban areas and build residences or workshops according to their own needs, but the architectural style must be unified and there are strict height limits.
Because Suldak plans to build an eight-story bell tower in each area, which can be regarded as a regional landmark building. Once other buildings exceed three stories high, residents who are too far away from the bell tower will lose their sight. Affected, unable to grasp the accurate time.
Suldak also asked the Baron Martino Urban Construction Bureau to temporarily slow down the investment in the outer city wall project, try to regionalize this part of the city wall and proceed in stages, and complete the resettlement of citizens in the entire Mukuso City before the Harvest Festival.
At the same time, it is necessary to complete the sewerage project in the inner city and the laying of stone pavement in the streets and lanes as soon as possible.
As for the reconstruction of those houses that completely collapsed, they can be moved to the back, but the ruins must be removed as soon as possible and those areas can be restored to standard plots.
This time Martino brought over architectural models of the Mukuso City Arena and Opera House.
For Baron Martino, these are his interests and hobbies, but the opera house and arena he designed, like the Dodan Town War College, need to be made of stone, which is comparable to a defense built of wood. Much more expensive.
Almost every building designed by Baron Martino will be killed by a huge gold-eating beast. Even Suldak couldn't help but shake his head after seeing it, saying that the city hall's gold coin reserves cannot currently afford to build these large-scale buildings. architecture.
"Didn't you say before that you would sell the operating rights of the Opera House and Arena so that you could get construction funds!" Baron Martino said to Suldak.
Surdak waved his hand and said: "I need to personally handle this matter, but I'm afraid I won't have time to do it in the near future. However, there are some things that can be done in advance, such as the cleanup of the ruins of the Opera House and Arena!"
It wasn't until the fourth day that Suldak took the time to visit the Mukusuo Military Camp.
Bearded Edgar is training a heavy armored infantry regiment for Surdak in the military camp outside Mukuso City.
These new soldiers were all recruited from the Resistance Army Autonomous Prefecture. They have now joined the Lord's Army of Surdak. The identity of the Resistance Army has been completely cleared. This army has 12,000 people.
Counting the heavy armored infantry regiment that Surdak formed last time, Surdak has already mobilized more than 40,000 young resistance fighters from the Resistance Army Autonomous Prefecture.
For the Resistance Army Autonomous Prefecture, it can be said that at least half of the young people have come out of the rainforest. The Resistance Army Autonomous Prefecture not only faces a serious imbalance in the ratio of men to women, but also faces a serious aging. Women have to raise children and support the elderly alone.
etc.
This is exactly what the Bena Provincial House of Representatives hopes to see. The continued transfer of young people from the Resistance Army Autonomous Prefecture can be regarded as reducing the potential strength of the Resistance Army to the greatest extent.
Surdak stood on a high platform and shouted loudly to the training ground full of people:
"I know that you are all young warriors who came out of the rain forest in the southeast of the plane."
"There was once a group of young warriors from the same place as you. They used their courage and blood to unfurl a flag to all the Ganbu planes."
"Let all the residents of the Ganbu plane be proud of them, but now I hope that you can be as brave as them, so that all the residents of the Ganbu plane will be proud of you."
Immediately afterwards, the thick craftsman's sword struck the tower shield, making a neat and heavy knocking sound.
Some people outside the camp were attracted.
The Ganbu Plane is a livable small plane with a mild climate and fertile land. Except in the northernmost Snowy Mountains, there is no winter in other areas.
There are many rivers in the plane, and you can live a good life by just opening up a piece of land.
At present, residents of many small towns in the south have returned to normal production and life.
A large number of adventure groups have entered the south of the Ganbu plane, and they have almost completely cleared away the hell dogs around the town.
Only in Grove Ridge, the rainforest of the Resistance Army Autonomous Prefecture, and the collapse area south of Bansk Town, many of these inaccessible places, will there be remnants of Hell Hounds. When Hell Hounds come to the mountains of the Ganbu Plane, they immediately
Stand at the top of the food chain.
They live without any natural enemies in the wild, and the only threats to them are the hunters in adventure groups and mercenary groups.
The adventure group likes to hunt these hell dogs very much. The materials on them may not be that valuable, but the magic cores they produce are still very good, and this second-level monster is not a big threat to the adventure group.
The probability of getting a magic core is very high.
One magic crystal can be exchanged for seven gold coins. In other words, as long as an adventure team can hunt down a hell dog with a magic crystal in its head every week, it can maintain the balance of payments of the adventure group.
.
Adventure groups like to hunt in the southern region of the Ganbu plane, because compared to the inaccessible north, there are still residents living in almost small towns in the south, and these small towns can provide necessary supplies to the adventure group.
As for the northern part of the Ganbu plane, all small towns have been completely swallowed up by the demon army, and there are abandoned villages and small towns everywhere.
Since the territory is divided into fourteen parts, these villages and towns are the private property of the lords. Strictly speaking, adventure groups are not allowed to enter the towns to scavenge. Each lord is also continuing to invest troops and territorial residents in their territories. Many of them are
The Lord's Army does not welcome adventure groups.
Therefore, in the Ganbu plane, few adventure groups are willing to cross the northern mountain pass of Mukusuo.
The southern town in the Ganbu plane has begun to try to transport output materials to Mukusuo. Those materials shipped through the portal are difficult to compete with local materials due to transportation costs.
Surdak discovered that the Ganbu plane had begun to glow with new vitality.
As 220,000 cattle and sheep arrived in Ruit City, Samira, Gulitem and Andrew actually came with the sheep.
Neither Samira nor Andrew took the magic airship. Instead, they rode horses to chase the sheep and met up with Gulitem halfway.
The herds of cattle and sheep were arranged to enter Ruit City along the Central Avenue at midnight. However, since Ruit City is a mountain city, the two hundred thousand sheep could not pass through the portal smoothly in the middle of the night. Then the entire Ruit City
The city caused severe traffic congestion.
Logistics Minister Earl Ian had a gloomy face, waiting at the transfer gate of the central square of Mukuso City. Seeing the central square crowded with countless sheep, he felt inexplicably irritable. Now the entire logistics department officials are from the municipal government.
He ran out of the hall and was responsible for housing such a large number of cattle and sheep.
Seeing countless sheep swarming on the streets, the citizens of Mukusuo City were excited.
Everyone was talking about how awesome the new Archon was. He actually bought so many cattle and sheep from other planes, which solved the embarrassment of the lack of beef and mutton in the Ganbu plane at once.
Moreover, a large area of land in the north of the Ganbu plane is deserted, so these cattle and sheep can be raised on the pastures of the Sai Ruoman Plateau.
Surdak intended to keep only a small part.
He planned to keep 30,000 sheep and 2,000 cattle, and the other cattle and sheep would be distributed to other lords who owned pastures.
Of course, this is not a free gift, a commission is required.
Surdak also owns two pastures on the Sai Ruoman Plateau. Before there are enough horses, the pastures cannot be left unused to feed rabbits.
The problem is that there are no rabbits in the pastures of the Sai Ruoman Plateau, so Suldak decided to temporarily raise some cattle and sheep. Once the number of horses reaches saturation on the pasture, these cattle and sheep will slowly increase in number of horses.
Slaughter it.
Samira, Andrew, and Gulitem finally arrived in Mukuso before the end of August, which was the deadline for Surdak to rush to the big battlefield.
