Chapter 167: The Future of the Town

After talking to the little girl for a long time, Joseph was not suitable for not buying anything, so he picked some candy and stuffed it into his pocket, and the guard behind him paid for it.

"Actually, you don't have to buy anything, I don't have a commission."

Looking at what Joseph bought, the little girl understood the true meaning of Joseph's purchase, so she specially reminded him, but for Joseph, he would not be a loser.

Smiling slightly, Joseph didn't say anything more and waved his hand away, looking at his back, the little girl was a little lost, but soon she lifted her spirits, and the future ...... I want to be such a rich man.

Joseph didn't know the little girl's thoughts, left the state-run supermarket, looked at a group of elementary school students coming by, threw the candy out casually, and left indifferently in the robbery.

……

The standard configuration of the Nord West Sahara Oasis Town is: the mayor's office, the sheriff's office, the health room, the primary school, the radio station, as for the office of the councillors, in fact, the councillors do not have an office, if they insist on saying that there is, then there will be a room on the side of the radio station.

Generally speaking, they have a public mailbox, and if a citizen has something to do, it will be sent directly to the mailbox. It's also a measure to monitor parliamentarians, so that if they don't do something, citizens can publish their emails and show that they have actually delivered them instead of lying about them. Of course, in places like Western Sahara at this time, mail was a rare thing, so it was still mainly written and directly visited.

The town is not better than the city, and the conditions are slightly worse in all aspects, such as the health room, the health room in the town only has a few emergency medicines, if there is any chronic disease or need surgery, then it can only be transferred to the city.

The disadvantages of this are self-evident, especially Nord has always paid attention to the medical aspect, and it is inevitable that there will be improvements in the future, but it is not clear that the time for improvement is the problem.

Leaving the city of Æthelde and coming to the nearest oasis town, Joseph saw the busy townspeople and made a little inquiry, and it turned out that they were preparing the aqueduct.

The oasis also has land, and they will also grow some fruits and vegetables, and Nord will provide food, but vegetables, which cannot be preserved for too long, are best grown locally.

When Joseph arrived, the mayor of the town was organizing the residents to busy the drains, mainly because the spray was broken, and they had no choice but to do so.

"You didn't apply for some farm equipment?"

Seeing the arrival of a powerful person like Joseph, although he really didn't know his identity, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and let his subordinates continue to command and do things, and he hurried over to accompany him. Joseph didn't care about this, and casually handed over a cigarette and asked.

The mayor of the town is also a smart man, and when he saw that Joseph did not smoke, he naturally did not put it in his mouth, and he knew that Joseph did not smoke but did not bring his favorite cigar.

"The cabinet has allocated funds, but we are far away from here, and we are still on the way."

Trucks, tractors, and agricultural planes are all purchased in a unified manner, which can increase the business of agricultural machinery companies and increase the efficiency of oasis planting.

"You also plant trees yourself?"

Looking at the poplars on the edge of the desert, Joseph asked a little strangely, and he couldn't help but be surprised, because the oasis was there, and there was no need to do more.

"The strangeness of this oasis is said to come from technology, but no one can insure technology from this thing, in case the future...... Let's do some preparations. ”

The very cunning mayor of the town, although it is not the place that is cunning, but it cannot be denied that he is different from the mayors of other places, at least this is a person who really wants to do things for the townspeople.

"How's the town's economy?"

The purpose of coming down is to investigate, if you don't inquire clearly, then this trip is not in vain? Therefore, the questions that should be asked, must be asked clearly.

"Economy, the word is still a little far away, the mayor's office has just been formed, the councillors have just been elected, the sheriff and judge have not yet arrived, the doctor has not yet come, the standard configuration of the cabinet has not been set up, what kind of economy is there to talk about."

As he spoke, the mayor glanced at Joseph from time to time, and it was obvious that he regarded Joseph as a wealthy man, and expected him to invest in something in the local area, at least to solve some job problems.

The town is no better than the city of Ætheld, where there are many opportunities, many orders, and more bold people, so there is no shortage of jobs at all, but the town is not good, as the mayor said, the standard configuration has not yet been built, what kind of economy.

"Tourism is doing well, but with people who can't feed the whole town."

Joseph obviously didn't want to give up on this topic, and deliberately opened his mouth to talk about the case of failure, that is, the oasis town where Joseph once traveled, and it was also the first oasis town.

The tourism industry has brought good benefits there, but it is a fool's dream to stimulate the local economy with what tourists spend...... A large number of small-town residents have had to find other ways to make a living.

"That's nature, tourism depends on others, people come or don't come, the risk of consumption or not consumption is too high, we can't put these in a position of full dependence."

The mayor agreed with Joseph's words, and nodded secretlyJoseph's evaluation of the mayor increased by three points, if the mayor of the first oasis town had such insight, then it would not have fallen to the point where it is today.

"What are you going to do?"

What Joseph didn't know from this conversation was that the other party had overturned his identity, because he didn't speak like a rich man but an official, but he didn't think about the Grand Duke of Nord, because it was too far away from him.

"I was going to set up a beef cattle farm, and I found that the fresh grass in the town is very good, which is suitable for the breeding industry, but because of the inherent limitations, it is not enough to rely on breeding."

When the mayor spoke, he signaled the oasis, planting trees reflects the mayor's love for the environment, in this case, he will naturally not destroy the balance of the oasis, even if the breeding is also standardized, rational breeding, the scale can only reach a certain number of need to be curbed, to avoid destroying the oasis.

"What else?"

Since the mayor of the town said that breeding alone would not work, then he naturally had other ideas, but at this time, the mayor suddenly did not say anything, and looked at Joseph with a cautious and defensive face.

"Are you a resident of Western Sahara?"

Joseph shook his head

"Are you a Nord citizen?"

Joseph nodded

"You're an official of Nord?"

Joseph nodded again, he understood that if he didn't make it clear, then the other party would definitely not continue, so just nodding didn't count, and he motioned for the guard to show his ID.

"You, you are ......"

"Now we can go on!"

Where would the mayor with an excited face refuse, or dare to refuse? Hurriedly replied: "Yes, of course." ”
