The first home buyers were the Gilman brothers and sisters. Lorna spent a black crystal, about 160 gold coins, to buy a single-family house near the coast.
Mr. Fast also paid for his tavern, 220 gold coins. Fast only had 20 gold coins, and Evelin took out the remaining 200 gold coins - "The Fall of the Mage Tower" changed Evelin's life, just by participating
At banquets among nobles and wealthy people, the gifts obtained are worth hundreds of gold coins.
Lindy paid for Mr. Victor, Bronzebeard generously donated his money, Andrew Luna allowed Xingyue Bay to have a second tavern, and Michael paid the money with a curse - there was only a few 500 gold nuggets left for alchemy.
Ten gold belongs to me, but when I buy a house, I have to give money to Annan.
The price of a house that easily costs 100 gold coins is comparable to the price in the wealthy area of Breeze City. But rather than saying that they like Xingyue Bay, they are more interested in the potential of Xingyue Bay - the King of Ruikan'er does not have the luxury of using water elements in public toilets.
Flush, still a large water element.
It's just that the prices of these houses are far beyond the reach of the residents, so Annan still has to do something before the enthusiasm of the residents wears off.
Francois said that some people in the territory have become lazy. When people find that they have the same food and the same accommodation as those who do less, laziness makes them start to be lazy. But there is no way to punish them, because they are actually doing things.
It's just that you need to take a few less sticks when carrying firewood, and one less piece when carrying limestone.
Annan's method is to ask Ingrid and Francois to select the 10 most diligent citizens these days, give them a townhouse, and then promise that every citizen who contributes to Xingyue Bay will
get rewarded.
The ten subjects who were stunned by the surprise moved into the exquisite and spacious townhouse in a daze, envied by the other subjects.
The people then looked at the lord longingly, and Annan did not disappoint them, pointing to a broad piece of land: "That will be your home... everyone. But if you want spacious townhouses and single-family houses, you can only rely on
It’s all due to your own efforts.”
Except for special buildings such as taverns, blacksmith shops, and libraries, the rest are mainly townhouses and single-family houses. There are no manors or castles, at least not around the bay. But if a noble is willing to spend a few thousand gold coins,
It's not impossible.
The new foundation that Annan pointed to was the new building discussed with Yili Ruishi yesterday - a three-story mansion-style building. It not only increases the types of houses in Xingyue Bay, but also accommodates the residents who do not have houses.
Beauty and practicality are the first elements.
This leap forward originated from the alchemical material "cement". The half-dwarf confidently said that he could even build a ten-story building with cement-Annan agreed, and then rejected him.
There is no need for this kind of building in Xingyue Bay, and even if it collapses, it won't kill a few ratmen. Moreover, Annan lives in a high-rise building on Earth, and he still lives in a high-rise building in another world. Isn't that a waste of time?
Eli Gravel murmured ruefully that the treehouses and spiers favored by the jungle elves would be very nice——
Wonderful sight? Annan thought of it and allowed Eli Gravel to build a clock tower instead. As for the style... Annan thought the mage tower in Breeze City would be good.
In any case, this encouragement was enough to make the people of the lord become devoted to Annan - working for the lord not only provided food, shelter and salary, but also a brand new home.
The biting cold winter makes the enthusiastic people feel like the arrival of warm spring.
"I just said you have the potential to become a lord." Fast said from a distance, watching the whole process.
"I remember you weren't talking about politicians?"
"almost."
Annan is indeed thinking very hard for his people. He is also planning to build a college - giving priority to teaching common language and mathematics. At least there will be no exaggerated rumors that one was opened a few days ago, and one is opened today, and a total of twelve are opened.
Annan is also preparing to move this model to Breeze City and other places. When the literacy rate in the north increases, the newspaper can be put on the agenda.
Xingyue Bay has the last thing left to become a town: tax rates and laws.
Annan returned to the big house and looked through the Star-Moon Bay code drafted by Ingrid: "The liquor tax in Breeze City is actually 30%?"
All tax rates fluctuate around 30%, only the magic image has a 15% tax rate... It seems that Olmedo has been a big help.
"Change it to 20% tax."
Compared with the 10% tax, the new citizens attracted by the tax reduction are more valuable.
Law Ingrid copied the laws and punishments of Breeze City: imprisonment, deportation, whipping, and hanging.
Annan felt that this was too wasteful and changed the punishment for many crimes from imprisonment, deportation, and flogging to work, and hanging to work to death.
Logging, mining, construction, every citizen has endless work to do. There is no reason to let criminals idle while citizens work.
Moreover, Annan also added one thing before Ingrid was about to say something: any nobleman or any identity who commits a mistake in Xingyue Bay will not be able to escape the punishment of Xingyue Bay.
The crime of aliens can be judged based on objective conditions. For example, littering and excretion are prohibited in Xingyue Bay, but slimes and birdmen move their groups while excreting. If you sue them for violating the law, they will sue you for stereotypes.
"Including me."
Annan's loftiness at this moment seemed to require Ingrid to look up to him, until he lowered his voice and added: "At most, let me go while no one knows."
"Then who are you going to leave to do such an offending thing?"
Okay, here's the last half.
"Steelkin and Lorna Gilman as Captains of the Guard."
Annan has investigated Stirkin. His integrity is like that of a Paladin, but his morality is like that of Nurgle. His bad behavior makes the demons of the Abyss know that they have to give a thumbs up and declare that you are the real demon of chaos.
Lorna Gilman has a destructive personality... This is what Annan learned from chatting. In other words, Lorna hates every life equally.
This arrangement allows both of them to be inspected at the same time.
Annan, the Construction Department, temporarily appointed Eli Gravel as the director. He and Soruman Bronzebeard also served as the directors of the Development Department, while Francois and Ingrid were in charge of the Interior Department.
Annan then found the four scavengers who came with the team. They had nothing to do in the past two months and could not leave. Fortunately, "The Fall of the Mage Tower" relieved the boredom. Annan invited them as the lord of Xingyue Bay.
A scavenger base is established here. But it still needs to be approved by the scavenger headquarters.
In the afternoon of that day, Annan announced that the territory would be closed tomorrow, but all territorial residents must go back to sleep now, wake up before 0 o'clock, stay in the territory, and are prohibited from going out. If a disaster occurs, they should immediately go to the square to take refuge.
Ingrid asked what was going on, but Annan only said that it was a premonition of what would happen tomorrow.
Six water elements were also transferred back from the public toilets, and the earth elements guarded the log house. Uncle and nephew Blom, who Annan had forcibly retained, led the guards to patrol throughout the town.
There are nearly twenty elite professionals in Xingyue Bay at the moment, which is more than the professionals in a normal town.
Having made all preparations, Annan quietly waited for the first day of the year 999 of the Saint Laurent calendar to arrive.
