Ling Qi looked at the man in front of him, he looked to be in his forties, in the Eastern Earth Continent, in terms of the average life expectancy of ordinary humans, he was close to his old age, and very few people in Changhu Town lived past the age of 60. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Hmm~ You're right, so, who do you think is the right person in town to be the new treasurer?"

Long Lake has no treasurer, at least not in recent years, because the former mayor, Bowers, adopted a so-called parliamentary system that cut many redundant positions that he deemed unnecessary.

The mayor, the clerk, the captain of the city guard, and some speakers and councillors are the current rulers of Long Lake.

In the final analysis, under that system, the power of the entire town is basically concentrated in the town mayor alone, and the clerk is responsible for the specific implementation. The captain of the city guard is in charge of security, patrols, and criminal investigations, but there are not so many things to do in this isolated town, so his rights are actually very limited, and he must be supervised and directly governed by the mayor. Other speakers and parliamentarians are even more ornamental.

This kind of management method has great shortcomings, and basically can only meet the daily needs of Changhu Town, and cannot deal with any emergencies. But this was mostly enough in the past, because unlike some of the free mercenary lands, there were very few outsiders here, which made the town much less trade income and less trouble.

To put it bluntly, even if there is no mayor in this town, everyone can live very well.

Clerk Elfried proposed this system back then, and it can hardly be said that he wanted the mayor to be more pro-people and willing to delegate power, so as to win favor. Or do they deliberately concentrate power so that they can gain more power. He knew Bowers's temperament, greedy, scheming, but not very scheming.

When Ling Qi mentioned the reinstatement of the position of financial officer, many people looked at the middle-aged man.

Ling Qi sneered in his heart, and the man's face immediately froze.

"If you want to choose a new financial officer, of course, you will choose from those close to you. ”

"However, if there is no one who is good at this in the adult's personal entourage, the villain is willing to recommend himself. I have been a local financial officer for a few years, and I believe that I will not disappoint adults when it comes to handling financial matters. ”

Middle-aged people are apprehensive in their hearts, alternating between anticipation and fear, which is a torment for anyone.

Ling Qi had no intention of using the local elders, but he didn't care enough to let Changhu Town work "perfectly" according to his wishes.

If he hadn't offended Thorin for some reason, and even the One Ring had been lost, he wouldn't even have tried to use the town of Long Lake as another stronghold outside the Land of Honey, a bridgehead against the Lonely Mountain.

"What's your name. ”

Ling Qi asked lightly, rubbing the tip of his right finger with his left hand.

"The villain... The villain's name is... It's called Kendi!"

The middle-aged man's voice trembled, and his excitement and fear all reached a certain limit, and the former faintly overpowered the latter.

"Very well, then, Kendi, let you be the new treasurer!"

"As for the ill-gotten gains, you need no more negotiation, and you are responsible for disposing of them, half of which is distributed to the inhabitants of the town, all the inhabitants, and the other half to be used for the repair of the town. ”

"There are also some luxury goods upstairs, which I don't really like, so when the time comes, you can bring someone to make a list for me, and sell them for public use. ”

"As for my settlement in the town, I think this house is good, so let's live here first, and there is no need to build another one. ”

Ling Qi's words made Kendi's mind buzz, and he had to concentrate all his mind to suppress the ecstasy in his heart and listen to Ling Qi's order.

"It's... Yes, the adults are high-spirited, and the villains must deal with it impartially and try their best to complete the tasks of the adults. ”

I don't know if it's a problem with dominating the synchronous language, or if this person is really nervous, Ling Qi felt extremely awkward about his words.

"Alright, let's do it. ”

"And you, what you are good at, what you can contribute to the development of Changhu Town, and what you can contribute to the development of Changhu Town, you can all go and report to Nedin!"

"Nitin, Nitin!"

Ling Qi shouted twice before the young deputy captain of the guard came back to his senses, and he had been staring at a young girl in the crowd in a slight daze.

"Ahh ”

Nidin trotted to Ling Qi's side, he didn't look bad, and he looked even more energetic after putting on the elf equipment, if he didn't compare with Ling Qi, he was definitely an excellent romantic character.

"Alright, boy, I'll leave you to be my lieutenant for this time. ”

"The trivial matters in the town, you handle them for me, if there is anything that you can't handle consciously, report to me. ”

"Also, you can pick some of the talented people in the local area to be your helpers. ”

"Finally, draw up a list for me to reactivate the many institutions in Long Lake. ”

Ling Qi gave his final order, he needed a space to be alone to try to recover from his injuries, which was more important than rushing to harvest the strength of a small town.

"Ahh

Nitin was shocked, he had never had any experience in dealing with government affairs.

It can be seen that his own adults are indeed not very enthusiastic about power, and Farion, who should be more competent than him, is seriously injured, and judging from the degree of proximity, he is indeed the most suitable person to play this role at present.

"It's okay, take care of yourself, and when you return to the land of honey, there will be a place for you. Your sister will need someone to help her in the future. ”

Ling Qiwen said, as if he was hinting at something.

Nitin was immediately full of fighting spirit, and he was also full of gratitude and closeness to Ling Qi.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely live up to your expectations. ”

Ling Qi nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good, don't worry about it, everything has me. ”

With that, he walked towards the corridor.

When he reached the corner, he suddenly turned back to the crowd:

"From now on, Nitin's words are my orders, understand?"

This is mainly said to those old guards and new recruits, power comes out of the barrel of a gun.

Immediately, everyone else looked at Nitin differently, and of course the lucky Kendi.

The financial officer appointed by Ling Qi himself, and the one selected by his representatives, were naturally different.

Dealing with interpersonal relationships is also a kind of exercise, and a good grasp of it will improve martial arts skills to a certain extent.

Therefore, the master is full of wisdom, the old monk's words are profound, and the elders' vision is far-reaching.

But to the extent of Ling Qi, the trivial matters of chaos have become a kind of interference, so most of the strong people are withdrawn, or there is a large group of junior brothers to deal with chores for them.

Everything in the world is true, but if it is extremely powerful, it makes no sense at all, and it may not even be able to accommodate the rules!

Many people want to be strong, but except for a very small number of people, most people don't even deserve to carry shoes for the younger brother of the strong...

On the other hand, as long as you are not an idiot, people over fifty know a little bit about destiny.

Being strong is against the sky, and knowing your fate is obeying the sky, which is much more difficult than knowing your fate and obeying your fate!

Lingqi, a man who aspires to become a strong man, a man with an unwavering goal, shuts himself in his house alone and waits for the day of Thorin and Turin when the whole town is thriving.

Thorin has become his enemy, but fortunately the lonely dwarf Ben doesn't have many friends, and he has to guard against the fact that the dwarf has found other dwarf allies, but he is not worried that he will go to the lonely mountain in advance, which will ruin a good thing.

Slaying dragons and capturing treasures is his mission.

It's not easy to slay a dragon, and it's also hard to capture a treasure.

Ling Qi didn't know where the back door of Gushan was, and although he had the key, he couldn't guess the puzzle. Luckily, he's probably the only one out of them who can confidently enter the Lonely Mountain from the front.

And, unlike at the beginning, he had already understood what Thorin wanted most, and he could probably understand the purpose of the Juggernaut, and the definition of the total value of treasure must not be calculated in terms of volume.

Akon Treasure Diamond, he is bound to win!

If it weren't for his injuries, perhaps he would have taken the Arkon Diamond from Lonely Mountain by now.

He just wanted to rely on another more secure way to complete the treasure hunting mission now, and he couldn't say that the dragon slaying was also at that time!

In the blink of an eye, another three days passed, and even though they had set off from the land of honey very early, they had not wasted much time on the road, and it was only two days before the day of Turin.

In the past three days, the entire town of Changhu has changed dramatically, the walls of the town have been thickened and heightened, and the roads in the town, including the pontoon bridge in the lake, have all been renewed.

Although traces of construction can still be seen everywhere due to the limited time, no one can ignore the smiles on people's faces and the peace of mind.

10,000 silver coins is not enough to make a big difference in the whole town, wood and stone are not cheap things, the number of materials taken nearby is limited, more are ordered from afar, and manpower is not cheaper than material resources, otherwise he will not think about winning people's hearts.

Ten thousand is not enough, one hundred thousand is more than enough.

Whenever there is a change of dynasty, there will always be a group of unlucky eggs. The unlucky ones in Changhu Town this time were the previous mayors and their descendants, almost all of whom had their homes raided, but they couldn't get any sympathy.

Who will pity those who have exploited themselves or their parents, it is just a to harm their family, everyone knows that this kind of thing is wrong, but when it comes, few can control the spreading anger.

Standing by the town wall, directing the workers to dig deeper into the new foundation outside the wall, Nitin was filled with joy.

He knew that he was not good enough to deal with these things, otherwise the people below would not always like to make small reports, and the complaints about the new financial officer would accumulate a basket.

But whenever he was freed from the tedious chores, and looked at the hot fortifications outside, and at the oily faces and new clothes of the commoners of comparable birth to him, he felt extremely proud, and he was the object of allegiance.

It is true that it takes sacrifice to live a happy life, which makes it even more difficult to come by.

Extraordinary methods can be effective in extraordinary times, and only after relative stability can the virtue of the superior be seen.

And after the townspeople settled down again, all the orders issued by Ling Qi were for the benefit of the town and the people, and this was enough.

Most people thought so, so with the exception of a few who had friends and relatives who had died in the previous chaos and were spared from being cleaned up afterwards, everyone else was quick to accept the current generous new mayor and his young talker!

As for some remnants, given the sparse population of Middle-earth, it would be a pity to kill them, and the town of Long Lake also needed such people.

This is not a place of honey wine, and the sudden beautiful life needs the contrast of the hard days of the past to make people remember!

That was their punishment, thought the once simple townspeople.
