Probably because Surdak controls a powerful army of alliance lords, no matter what policies Surdak implements in Ruit City recently, as long as it is not too excessive, these noble lords in Ruit City will
I won't stand up and raise objections.
Even if Surdak wanted to build a road in the abandoned mining area, when the nobles heard that the city hall would not have to pay a penny, they immediately passed a resolution to build the road.
Moreover, the lords who own the abandoned land in the abandoned mining area are also very generous.
Surdak set aside some land from their territory for road construction, and each of them only received a symbolic gold coin. They didn't care at all that the road would pass through the territory, dividing the territory into two, and still
Some lords think that it would be good to pass through the territory. At least this road can lead directly to Ruit City, making it easier for residents living in the territory to enter the city.
The first construction engineering team of Mukusuo transferred 500 kobold slaves this time. This group of kobolds built a felt shed outside the city and began to build the roadbed.
The convoy from Wall Village transported the first batch of volcanic ash from the deserted Pudu Mountain and has spread it near the city gate. After watering, the volcanic ash formed a very strong cement pavement, and according to Surdak's requirements, this kind of
The cement pavement will be separated by thin wooden boards every three meters. It is said that this can prevent the pavement from freezing and cracking when winter and summer alternate.
Luke naturally became the commander-in-chief of this road construction. Although this road has not been built, it has been divided into countless roadside areas by seventy-three trading firms. In the future, construction will be done on both sides of this road.
Some material warehouses and stores.
The nobles in the city do not have a keen sense of ways to make money like the businessmen, and they do not realize what kind of changes this road will bring to Ruit City after it is built.
In fact, Luke's construction of this road started in both directions. In the small town of Hammond, just north of Yezipias Manor, another road construction team composed of kobold slaves was also working intensively to build this road. Here
There are obviously more four-wheeled carriages.
However, it is precisely the problem of insufficient transportation capacity that limits the construction speed of this road.
Surdak left Ruit City in a magic caravan. He first inspected the coalition camp outside the city, then ran to the road construction site to chat with Luke, and then took the magic caravan to Finance Officer Kull.
The manor of Trattier.
…
Count Kurt Latte was lying on a wicker chair on the terrace on the second floor. In the living room, two butlers were leading the servants to clean. This place would become a huge dance floor at night, so all useless furniture had to be moved to the warehouse behind.
inside.
Several wives of Count Coulter, the financial officer, gathered together and sat not far from Count Coulter to play cards.
The ladies were very excited about having a grand ball in the manor, and the young people in the family were also called back by Count Kurt. Even if they just showed their faces in front of these nobles and officials, it would be a good thing for them in the future.
Some benefits.
The main reason why Count Kurt held this ball was to show his loyalty to Suldak.
Yes, that's what he thought.
He is one of the few nobles in Luyt City who supports Earl Lake Cushing, because he clearly knows that Luyt City needs to make some changes after being baptized by the flames of war, at least it cannot be mentioned by others, that is, "I know, I know."
, that is the main city of Lord MacDonnell's rebellion!'
The city of Ruit needs a new look to change the Bena people's view of this place.
Many times, other areas of the Bena Province refer to the area of Ruit City as Tanan. In fact, there are also some meanings of "wild land" that are not stated literally.
He and Earl Lake Cushing also tried some new measures, but those measures either failed or could not be implemented.
Earl Kurt is a supporter of the former consul Earl Lake Cushing, so he serves as the financial officer of Ruyter City.
During his tenure, he has not met any other competitors, and the nobles all know that there is no money in the treasury of Ruit City.
But today is different from the past. Suldak was in charge of Ruit City, which immediately gave Ruit City a new vitality. Earl Kurt currently holds the financial power in his hands. He also knows that if he wants to keep this position, he must
To become the most trusted person around Surdak.
However, without a certain amount of time to get along and experience some big events together, it is difficult to establish this kind of trust.
Unless an alliance is formed and the family lords' army joins Surdak's army.
But at present, the Latie family does not have a formed lord army at all and cannot join the Lord Surdak Army, so he is always worried that his status will not be guaranteed.
I've been having trouble sleeping recently, and in my dreams I'm being pulled down from the financial officer's chair.
The incident where Earl Lake Cushing hid in Bena City a while ago also made him a little uneasy. He was worried that Earl Cushing's loss of Suldak's trust would also affect his position as financial officer.
A group of young people from the family gathered in the garden. Among the men and women, a tall and outstanding young girl was among the crowd. She was wearing an apricot dress and had golden hair. She looked like a beautiful white swan in the crowd. That was
Count Kurt's niece Zeta Latte.
Kurt wanted to introduce his niece to Suldak, but he had always struggled with the lack of such an opportunity. This dance was an excellent opportunity and he didn't want to miss it.
…
Before leaving for the expedition, Suldak decided to attend the dance held by the financial officer Kurt Latier.
After all, during the period when he left Ruit City, Financial Officer Kurt held the key to the vault. Suldak still needed to win over this financial officer. If there was no suitable candidate, Suldak would definitely
No outsider would be placed in such a crucial position.
Unfortunately, neither Hathaway nor Beatrice is a suitable candidate for financial officer.
In fact, the most suitable person is Selena, but she doesn't want to come to Ruit City no matter what.
The carriage stopped, and Suldak opened his eyes and looked out the window. The gate of the manor of the financial officer Kurt Latti's family was very grand. The guard saw the badges on both sides of the magic caravan and took a look inside.
With one glance, he asked the coachman to drive the magic caravan into the manor.
After entering the manor, the magic caravan drove along the corridor in the front yard for a while before arriving in front of the courtyard inside the manor.
There was a large carpet spread in the middle of the grass in the yard, and the magic wall lamps all around were lit. The buildings in the manor also looked very gorgeous. A group of people stood on both sides of the steps, waiting for Surdak to get off the carriage.
When Suldak stepped off the carriage, Finance Officer Kurt Latie was already waiting in front of the magic caravan. A group of city hall officials gathered around him. Suldak stepped forward to greet these officials.
Treasurer Kurt stood at the front and introduced the century-old history of this manor to Suldak.
The beautiful Zeta has also been arranged to stay with her uncle. She knows that the protagonist tonight is this young knight. He is not only the consul of Ruit City, but also in charge of the entire Ganbu plane.
Count Kurt wanted to introduce his niece to Suldak several times, but Suldak was always surrounded by noble lords.
The expedition is about to begin, and everyone hopes to know Count Surdak's specific combat mission in the Bailin plane.
Unfortunately, Surdak was tight-lipped about this, and even the other lords who participated in this battle remained silent, and did not say which area they would expand to after entering the Bailin plane.
It was not until the ball was about to end that Count Kurt, the treasurer, introduced his niece Zeta to Suldak.
She is so young and beautiful, her eyes are full of admiration for the strong, and her beautiful and delicate face seems to be able to satisfy any man's vanity.
It's just that Surdak was in no mood to pay attention to Miss Zeta at this time.
There were countless official matters waiting to be dealt with around him. If it were not for the purpose of appeasing Count Kurt, he would not even want to attend this ball.
The third phase of the restaurant plaza project has begun, and hotels and supporting facilities in the surrounding areas also need to be gradually constructed.
In Suldak's view, the catering plaza must not only have free drinking fountains, but also have public toilets and public areas for vendors to set up stalls. In addition, magic caravans cannot be parked casually on both sides of the street, and special areas must be provided for these.
It is necessary to plan for the surrounding area of the dining plaza.
Although the planning designer is Baron Martino, Suldak also wanted to add some of his own ideas to the planning of the restaurant plaza.
In addition, the first batch of resettlement houses in slum areas have also begun finishing work. Next, the city hall will gradually relocate other slum areas, and the construction of the second phase of resettlement houses will start as soon as possible. This is a major issue to solve the livelihood of people in slum areas.
problem, Surdak attaches great importance to it.
As the project on the resettlement house gradually got on track, Luke had already stepped aside and mobilized the kobold slaves from Wall Village to build roads outside Ruit City. For the construction of cement roads, these kobold slaves were a group with a large number of building materials.
Road builder with road experience.
But here's the most ironic thing...
Although Surdak has enforced a law prohibiting slave trading in the Ganbu plane, he owns nearly 1,500 kobold slaves, and the number of this group is gradually increasing by 200 every year. It is probably considered a slave trade.
The largest slave owner on the Ganbu plane.
When the dance was about to end, Suldak took the magic caravan and left Count Kurt's manor in advance.
Miss Zeta didn't even get a chance to say goodbye to Suldak.
Thea sat on the magic caravan and angrily scolded Finance Director Kurt for his bad intentions at the ball. He must truthfully tell Hathaway and Beatrice what he saw at the ball.
listen……
Suldak sat across from the carriage and ignored her nagging, casually saying to Thea: "Tomorrow, the Lords Army Alliance will march towards Bena City..."
