Chapter 161 White Deer Town in May

Chapter 161 Bailu Town in May

Regarding his sister Anna's request to learn magic, Claude had nothing to refuse. He took out the diary in the magic recipe he had translated and gave it to his sister to read, so that she could first understand some truths hidden in history. Then,

He took out the two diaries and the magic notebook of Master Landers and told his sister how he obtained these things.

Only then did Anna know that Claude had ventured to Bailuzhou in order to get the things left by Master Landers in the Magic Recipe Diary. This was how the big python was killed two years ago. Claude

De's narration made my sister cover her mouth nervously...

Picking up Master Landers's diary and magic notes, Claude first briefly introduced the contents, and then explained to his sister the difference between a rune mage and a battle mage, as well as what Mrs. Maria said about Farea

The situation of magicians on the mainland and the Kingdom of Overas. What is a registered magician, what is a wild magician, and what I know about the underground magic market, etc.

After her sister Anna digested what she said, she still firmly stated that she wanted to be a magician. There was nothing to say. Claude began to teach her how to practice hexagram meditation, and even gave her a blank sheet of paper to draw.

look.

Regarding how to outline the hexagram pattern in the meditation space, and how to use mental power to intercept the photons of magical elements that are not of one's own attributes and converge them into the hexagram, Claude used his identity and experience to guide his sister Anna to complete her first meditation in her life.

Perhaps her sister Anna's magic talent is really good. It only took her more than an hour to complete her first meditation and successfully constructed the six-pointed star structure in the spiritual space. The only difference from Claude is that,

She said that the elemental photons gathered by the hexagram in her meditation space were light blue and felt like water waves.

There is no need to test. It is obvious that my sister's magic talent is water attribute, which makes Claude a little regretful. He himself is a fire attribute. If his sister's magic attribute is the same as his, then my sister will be promoted to a first-level talisman in the future.

When she was a grammarian, he might be able to give guidance when engraving basic spells, but there were always differences depending on the attributes, so it seemed she could only explore it on her own.

Claude remembered that Madam Maria had said that her magic talent seemed to be of the water attribute. Looking at his sister, he couldn't help but have an idea in his mind.

"Anna, do you want to study pharmacy?"

My sister looked at Claude in confusion: "Study pharmacy?"

"Yes," Claude nodded: "On the one hand, you can learn about the synthesis of some magic materials and drugs by learning the knowledge of pharmacy. On the other hand, you can refine magic potions. For example, these tubes of primary treatment potions I have here are all

It is of perfect quality, which cannot be bought outside. On the other hand, maybe you can become a pharmacist in the future to hide your identity as a magician."

"Well, let me learn and see. I don't know if I can do it." My sister Anna did not object to Claude's arrangements for her, but she didn't seem to have much confidence in herself.

"It's okay. If you have time in the future, you can read the books on pharmacy knowledge in the pharmacy laboratory to understand the basic knowledge and scope of pharmacy. The most important thing is to understand the test materials and medicinal herbs, and be able to identify fresh

Just distinguish between freshly picked herbs and refined herbs. I don't have any other requirements for you.

In addition, when you practice meditation, don’t forget to learn the ancient Hertzian language. Whether it is text or language, you must be proficient in it, just like the Heberian lingua franca we use now. You must know the language of hundreds of years ago.

Those magicians all use the Ancient Hertzian language. They believe that the Ancient Hertzian language evolved from Dragon Language and is a magical language.

Whether you are reciting spells silently or carving runes, all are written in the ancient Hertz language. Therefore, if you want to become a real magician, you must master this language completely. Although it is also taught in grammar classes in junior high schools now.

I will teach you the ancient Hertzian language and characters, but that is just a brief introduction. If you want to learn this language well, you mainly have to rely on self-study.

These dictionaries and pronunciation and spelling textbooks about ancient Hertzian language and characters were bought by me before for self-study. Now they are handed over to you. If you don’t understand anything, you can ask me. Don’t worry, Anna, you are still young and you have plenty of time.

, don’t regret that you want to become a magician when you see so much to learn. There will be no pie in the sky. If you want to succeed, you have to work hard on your own. Nothing in this world comes for nothing, do you understand?

"

"I know, second brother, I will try my best." The younger sister went upstairs to her bedroom with a large stack of books in her arms.

After his sister's learning of magic came to an end, Claude was busy forming various teams on the construction site. Under his insistence, almost all the young laborers in the civilian areas were wiped out by the Normandy Real Estate Development Company.

The construction team of a thousand people made the Lutheran housekeeper yell that it was too much, because Claude gave each worker a high salary of two silver thalers a month, so that the monthly salary payment would cost four to five hundred gold crowns.

about.

But there is no way. This other world is different from Claude's previous life. Every young and strong labor force is a potential source of soldiers. The most annoying thing is that various countries in the mainland attach great importance to the restriction of the personal freedom of the people.

The prohibition on random migration stopped the free circulation of domestic manpower. It was only after Uncle Thomas reminded Claude that there were not many migrant workers in the world who came to work in cities. If they didn't plan in advance, they might not be able to find anyone after the construction site started.

Come to work...

At present, the construction of the East Slum Area has not officially started. The main work is basically leveling the land, demolishing old and dilapidated houses, selecting good building materials and putting them aside for later use. At the same time, we also need to organize manpower to go to the Norman Forest Forest Farm to cut down the trees.

Timber. On the other hand, Butler Lutheran also has to contact the brickyard to provide a large amount of red bricks, and also purchase sand, lime, rope, ceramic pipes, cement and other building materials.

Seeing that the money he had just borrowed from the National Bank was being spent quickly, the worried housekeeper Lutheran came to see Claude again.

"It's okay. We can divide the East District into three phases. We can build the first phase of the house first, and if we sell them, we will have the money to continue the second or third phase of the buildings. There is no need to build them all at once before selling them.

.Or we can also ask those who are interested in buying to pay half of the purchase price in advance, and then pay the remaining half when the house is ready and delivered." Claude is confident.

Two-thirds of the east side of the slum has been acquired, so Claude has nothing to worry about. The lack of money does not matter. At least the money in the hands of Butler Lutheran can fully support the completion of the first and second phases of the development project. As long as

If what Mrs. Maria said is true that King Sterling X announced a plan to develop and upgrade Bailu Town into a city in mid-May, then once land prices and housing prices rise, everyone will be able to make money from the buildings constructed in the first phase of the project alone.

The rest of the capital is all profit. You know, real estate has always been called a huge profit industry in previous lives.

On May 12, twelve second- and third-level ocean-going warships dispatched by the Navy sailed through more than ten miles of winding waterways and entered Lake Beringa to anchor. It is said that they had just cleared away the pirate gangs in the stormy waters.

The First Squadron was ordered to come to Bailu Town for rest and recuperation. Almost all the residents of Bailu Town flocked to the dock to watch the heroic appearance of the Kingdom's navy warships.

At about 9:30 a.m. on May 15th, King Sterling X went to the National Assembly and announced a plan to place Bailu Town under the direct jurisdiction of the royal capital, upgrade it to a city, and carry out large-scale development. As for the construction of a naval base

, this is not said, anyway, it is all left unsaid.

At the same time, the special envoy who arrived at Bailu Town from the royal capital the day earlier also dressed up and read out the edict of King Sterling X in the town hall in front of all public officials. For the public officials in Bailu Town, this was

It is simply an unexpected surprise. From this moment on, they will be on an equal footing with the local officials in the county of Barromise who have always considered themselves superior to others, and will receive great improvements and subsidies in terms of salary and benefits.

The most excited person was naturally the mayor, Baron Robert. He never dreamed that he would one day become the mayor of a city. He suddenly felt that it was a great deal to have spent a lot of money to get the position of mayor of Bailu Town. If

If he can make a contribution in the development and upgrading of Bailu Town into a city, and gain the respect of the royal capital, then he may be able to pass on this baron title to three more generations.

Of course, there is no shortage of opportunities to make a fortune in the process of large-scale development. Mayor Robert has sole control of the town office. He believes that any powerful person who comes to Bailu Town from the royal capital to look for opportunities cannot do without his

Cooperation. Maybe he can also use this to establish relationships with the powerful people in the royal capital, so that he can have a reliable thigh to rely on...

Compared with Mayor Robert, Sir Fox is a little disappointed. Because of the large-scale development and upgrading of Bailu Town to a city, it means that he will no longer be the only national member of Bailu Town. According to the election regulations of the Kingdom’s National Assembly members, city-level

The city can have three National Councilors, which means that White Deer Town will have three National Councilors from next year. For Sir Fox, this means that two-thirds of his political resources will be allocated. How can this allow him to

Feeling better...

But it was only then that Sir Fox finally understood Madam Maria's true intention of investing in real estate development in slums. He wanted to point his finger in Madam Maria's face and yell at her for not asking him to partner in such a lucrative project.

He took it seriously. But he could only stay in his study and scold the bitch. To be honest, he knew that there was nothing he could do about Mrs. Maria.

Maybe it doesn't matter that other town officials don't care about Madam Maria. Anyway, they are not two lines and they will not intersect. But Sir Fox knows her power in the royal capital. As a national councilor, don't look at him in White Deer.

The town can be said to be able to cover the sky with one hand, and the local officials in the town office all look up to him. But when he arrived in the royal capital, he was just a little reptile in the eyes of others. I think if it hadn't been for Lady Maria who had given him a hand for the sake of fellow villagers.

, I don’t even know whether he can gain a foothold in the National Assembly.

Therefore, there is nothing Madam Maria can do without taking him to play with Sir Fox, let alone causing trouble for Madam Maria. Now that White Deer Town has been placed under the direct jurisdiction of the royal capital, this is not the case where Sir Fox used to go to the county for trouble.

I can think of a way to solve the problem, and besides, the county and city have nothing to do with Bailu Town's affairs.

Since he didn't dare to offend Mrs. Maria, he could just follow suit. So Sir Fox made an appointment with Mayor Robert to discuss it and decided to set up a real estate development company. They set their sights on the West End of the slum area. At the same time, they also gave

The boss of the Black Snake Society, Beedelier, gave some shares to the company, allowing him to include the old street land in his hands into the company, and asked him to be responsible for the relocation and land acquisition of the poor in the West District.

What Sir Fox and Mayor Robert didn't expect was that just when Bill the Butcher, the boss of the Black Snake Society, was commanding his men to force the residents of the poor West Side to relocate, causing a lot of trouble and public dissatisfaction, they were parked on Lake Beringa.

The navy fleet dispatched a marine brigade, sealed off the entire slum area, and drove out the fourth garrison squadron of Black Snake Club boss Butcher Bill. At the same time, several naval officers were sent to the town hall to announce that from now on, the slum area

It has been included in the construction scope of the naval base and belongs to the base restricted area of ​​the Navy Department.

The mayor of the town, Robert Baron, was confused at the time. What should he do with his newly invested real estate development company? Can he receive compensation for the land acquisition for the new transaction?

The naval officer took out a document and read it out on the spot. As a land acquisition plan for the construction of the naval base, real estate transactions before May 15th were listed as valid transactions. After May 15th, His Majesty the King had announced that Bailu Town

In the case of a large-scale development plan, no real estate transactions within the scope of land acquisition will be recognized. The personnel responsible for the land acquisition plan of the Navy will only compensate the real estate owners registered by the household registration management department of the town office before May 15th...

This news was like a bolt from the blue to Mayor Robert, which meant that all the nearly one hundred gold crowns he had invested were in vain. However, Sir Fox who arrived later was calmer and pointed at the Normandy real estate development on the map.

The company was building the Slum East District and asked: "Is this area also within the scope of your land acquisition?"

The naval officer smiled slightly and showed his white teeth: "This area does fall within the scope of our land acquisition, but since it is already under construction and meets our needs, we decided to cooperate with them instead of forcibly expropriating..."
