Chapter 33: The City Hall
Seeing that the allocation was almost over, Roy smiled and said: "Okay, let's start lunch, you're welcome, this is a way of eating invented by one of our bosses, it's very delicious, you can enjoy it." ”
After a while, there was a constant sound of praise in the hall, and the bloody events of the morning had long been forgotten.
Outside the door......
"Hey, do you smell it? This smell is even more unpleasant than burrowing into a woman's bed. One of the guards licked his lips, inhaling the lingering scent in the air.
"I asked the chef about it, and it was a simple one, but the oil wasn't cheap, and I wondered if my stingy father would like to try it. ”
"Why do you say that the lord is going to do this, those two are going to blow up the strategic granary. ”
"I don't understand, but it's cheaper to take them to the mines. You see that people are scared, I really admire how adults came up with the idea of spilling chicken blood. ”
"Be quiet...... This is something to be kept secret, but you can't say it's going to be slipped. ”
......
After lunch, after a brief rest, we started the exciting afternoon meeting again.
In the morning, representatives of various industries spoke, and at the beginning of the first half of the afternoon, a plainly dressed man paced out as he watched an older man.
After bowing respectfully, he said loudly: "Honorable lord, I am a craftsman, and by a coincidence, I found a very useful building material. ”
Then he returned to his position, took out a stone, and said indifferently: "My lord, look ......."
"These are two irregular stones, and I have glued them together in a special way, so that they cannot be corroded in the slightest regardless of whether they are soaked in water or roasted in fire. ”
"And at first it can be molded like dirt, and after two or three days of drying, it is as hard as stone. ”
Roy slowly stood up, walked over to the craftsman, picked up the stone and examined it carefully, drew his sword and slashed it hard, still intact.
"Very good, is this material easy to make?"
"It's very simple, I'm willing to give the recipe to the adults first. ”
"Very well, then, what reward do you want?"
"I want my child to get citizenship, of course he is still underage, in terms of physical strength and intelligence, he is perfectly suitable, but my ancestors were not from Eternal Light City, and they have not been able to obtain citizenship until now. ”
"I see, okay, I'll think about it, you know, the granting of citizenship is a very solemn thing. ”
"Of course, of course, I will definitely improve this recipe again and make a greater contribution to Eternal Light City before my children become adults. ”
"Very good, I have seen your sincerity. Roy tapped him on the shoulder.
Carey's eyes lit up, isn't this cement? Reinforced concrete, but it is the cornerstone of modern architecture.
He silently remembered the craftsman, and he could start his renovation plan when he turned back.
As the meeting progressed, many people also told about their strange inventions, such as making a wooden prop similar to wings, tied to the back of a person, as long as the wings were constantly instigated, they could fly into the sky, but they failed on the spot, causing a lot of ridicule.
"My lord, I can really fly in the air by jumping from a high place, and when the time comes, as long as each person takes a stone and throws it from the air, the danger of the Kuroshio will be greatly reduced. The young man explained with a blushing face.
"But you're going to have a bruised nose and swollen face because of this, and you're going to have to find a way to run to the top of the city again, and fly back to the city? The lost who crawled out of the abyss won't give you that chance, hahaha......"
Someone in the crowd suddenly coaxed, making him a little ashamed again when he stood in the field.
Carey also glanced at the young man, limited by the knowledge of the times, he only relied on daily observation and imagination to create, but it was already very precious to this era.
"Well, we're passionate about creating, not mocking, and of course we're going to have to protect ourselves. ”
Roy interrupted the others with a smile and motioned for him to go down.
Then he suppressed the argument and announced, "That's all for today's meeting, and here are the things I need to announce." ”
"I will set up a city council hall, which will become the most important department for the management of the city, including but not limited to the promulgation of policies, the formulation of urban plans, the daily feedback of the people, etc., and it will stand opposite the church to exercise its responsibilities. ”
"Of course, members must be citizens of the city and pass a series of examinations before they can be selected. ”
"Article 2: Farmland Tax Improvement ......"
Article 3: ......
“......”
"Finally, the tax on goods sold in the city by 20% will be reduced by 20% for the traveling merchants of Eternal Light City, and when the construction of the city hall is completed, they can go and receive the certified badge. ”
"In addition, the time of the Kuroshio is getting closer and closer, and the village chiefs will promptly notify the villagers to go to the city to avoid it, and I will open a resting place in the western area of Yongguang City. ”
"That's all for today. ”
After Roy finished speaking, he walked up to Howmans and said, "Uncle, stay in the city tonight, we haven't seen each other for a long time, I miss you a lot." ”
Homans shook his head and refused with a smile: "My lord, Kos Village can't be left unmanaged, and you also know that the Sheephorn Village of White Eagle Fort has often come to harass recently. ”
"It's okay, don't worry, that's what I'm going to discuss with you, let's go, go back." ”
Roy didn't wait for him to refuse, and directly pulled him out, and the guards outside the door followed closely, making Howmans's face a little ugly again.
"You see, I think this has something to do with the adult's uncle, right? Hey, by the way, what is your relationship with the adult?"
Alex regained his confidence when he saw this.
Carey glanced at him, but did not answer, but went straight to the craftsman who had found the "cement", greeted him, and proposed, "Master, I would like to ask you to improve my dwelling, and use this material you have found." ”
"No, this material has a lot of advantages, but I haven't tested how to use it better in construction. ”
"It's okay, I know, I've seen it in other city-states, but I don't know anything about architecture myself, so you can use that as a test. ”
The craftsman hesitated for a long time, then thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go back and prepare the materials, and I'll go to your side tomorrow to see how about I'm Nim, and they all call me Old Nim, but I'm not old at all." ”
"No problem, the address is Hilt Tavern, nice to meet you, my name is Carey. ”
"Oh my God, are you Lord Carey who was sent to study at the Intramural Abbey, and it is rumored that you recently killed the knight of the water monster?" said Old Nim, opening his mouth.
"That's not something to be praised, in fact I'm just a tavern owner now. ”
Carey couldn't help but wonder where the rumors came from, and why didn't he hear about himself in the tavern?
"You're so humble, if my son had one percent of yours, I wouldn't have bothered so much. ”
Carey responded casually and then stopped lingering.
Once the renovation is complete, you can put an end to the headache of striking iron, especially in the morning!
