With the appearance of the "new lord", Lin Chi's prestige value increased by two thousand points again, and his name in the attribute column also changed from "Young Lord of Flame Wind City" to "Lord of Flame Wind City".

In addition, when he took office again, the lord's special skills were also upgraded:

Lord Mode (Level 2):

When you're on the Lord's Throne, you can check on your military and internal affairs, and you can quickly issue orders through the Herald.

On top of that, you can check the state of the military and internal affairs at any time within the Flamewind area, but you can only quickly give orders if you have a herald or are around the target's subordinates.

Realizing that he could now check the attributes of the territory, Lin Chi, who was still galloping on his horse, directly opened the order situation, only to see that the original "relatively chaotic" situation disappeared and was replaced by "balance".

Order Status: Equilibrium.

The new lord took office, and the mood of the citizens stabilized.

"Ha, it's finally normal."

Temporarily alleviating the chaos in the city, Lin Chi returned to the Flamewind Palace, checked the financial situation of Flamewind City, and then sent a herald to summon the Minister of Finance to his palace.

"At present, there are still 500,000 gold coins in the treasury, right?"

"Yes, my lord." The Chancellor's fat stomach was shaking, and the whole person looked like a leather ball.

"For a territory the size of Flamewind City, isn't it a bit too much to leave 500,000 gold coins behind?" Lin Chi narrowed his eyes and stared at the spherical face of the Chancellor of the Exchequer: "With so many deposits, it's completely unnecessary." ”

"Your Excellency, you don't understand, we need to think long-term......" The Chancellor wiped his hands on his clothes.

"There's no need to save so much money in the long run, right?" Lin Chi's words were merciless: "I decided to take out half of the savings funds, that is, 250,000 gold coins, to repair the infrastructure in the city and help the poor people outside the city get out of trouble, no problem, right?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the Chancellor of the Exchequer immediately shook his head: "Your Excellency, if you do this, you will make the treasury empty......"

"Really? I think there's a lot of tax every year. Lin Chi smiled: "Since you are already collecting heavy taxes, if you don't spend more money, I'm afraid the masses will be dissatisfied?" ”

"It's for the ...... of the treasury"

Seeing that the Chancellor of the Exchequer still wanted to argue, Lin Chi didn't bother to continue talking nonsense with him, but just beckoned and summoned the herald:

"Go and call the Master Engineer."

In Flamewind Castle, the master engineer is equivalent to the ancient "Ministry of Works" and other positions, specializing in the construction of civil engineering in the city and the construction of various large-scale projects.

It didn't take long for a tall and thin man in a light green robe to walk quickly into the main hall of the Flame Wind Palace, his body in stark contrast to the Chancellor of Finance beside him.

The man's long hair was shoulder-length, and although his hair had turned a lot grayer, his thin face was very energetic, and he didn't look like he was about to enter his twilight years.

Lin Chi activated the Lord's Eye, and the other party's name and attribute values also immediately appeared in his sight:

Character Name: "Master Engineer" Mr. Chen.

Strength: 25.

Dexterity: 27.

Stamina: 95.

Lucky: 13.

Can be taught: Mechanism Technique Body Transformation, Ancient Mechanism Technique.

"Your Lord."

The Master Engineer bowed respectfully, looked up at the lord on the throne, and his eyes widened in surprise when he saw the familiar face:

"Young master? I thought you were ......"

"I'm fine." Lin Chi lightly brought up this topic, picked up the document of "The Construction of the Canal in Flame Wind City", and asked, "The canal that is being dug in the city should be in charge of you, right?" ”

"Yes." The master engineer immediately nodded, his waist straightened, and he faced the "resurrected" young master without humility or arrogance: "Since you have not given further orders, the canal is temporarily suspended. ”

Completely different from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Master Engineer behaved like a typical loyal servant, and he was a hard-boned kind. This person has always spoken straightforwardly, and did not hesitate to put forward his needs:

"Young Master, please allow me to report to you that this canal is of great significance to Flamewind City. Once the canal is dug up, Blazingwind will be able to trade with nearby allies more easily. We can also smoothly develop the water army. ”

"I don't think the navy in the city is good now." Lin Chi opened the statistics of the Flame Wind Army and took a look, there were only a pitiful dozen people in the Sailor Army, and they couldn't even control a small warship.

"Because the waters of the wide rivers in the vicinity are all in the lands of other lords." The master engineer replied: "You should have seen the map, the natural water area we control is very small, and we can't develop a water army at all, but as long as we have this canal, ......"

"I see." Lin Chi nodded: "I allow you to continue digging the canal, in addition, as long as the progress can be accelerated, the investment this time will be more, 50,000 gold coins, what do you think?" ”

"With these additional funds, we can hire hundreds more workers, and the excavation equipment can be improved enough to increase the speed by a large margin." The engineer's voice revealed unconcealed joy.

"50,000 gold coins is too much......" the Chancellor of the Exchequer immediately objected.

"I think that as long as the canal works, it can make that money back through commercial trade." Lin Chi looked at the Chancellor's somewhat reddened face, and said with great interest: "You should know more about the principle of 'thinking in the long run' than me, right?" ”

“…… All right. ”

The Chancellor of the Exchequer couldn't refute it, so he could only nod his head heavily, looking like he was angry.

"Then immediately go and organize the workers to start work again." The master engineer was not ambiguous, and was about to turn away as he spoke.

"Wait a minute."

Looking at the two names in the other party's teachable skill column, Lin Chi stopped the engineering master who was about to leave and asked, "Do you have any research on ancient mechanism techniques?" ”

As soon as he heard this topic, Shen Wenchong, who originally had a serious expression, immediately stomped his feet restlessly.

The engineering master turned his head and said softly, "Young Master, I once studied the ancient mechanism technique. But I'm sorry, with my current technology, I can't make the key device of the ancient trick: the Feng Shui engine. ”

"Can't even you make it?" Shen Wenchong couldn't help but speak: "I thought you could restore the ancient feng shui engine ......"

"I encountered a technical hurdle that I couldn't break through." The master engineer shook his head: "I can't build a feng shui engine that can run for a long time. If you can find a good ancient feng shui engine, it is possible to break through this hurdle and create a usable finished product. ”

"Do you know where you can find an intact ancient feng shui engine?" Lin Chi asked.

The master engineer was silent for a moment, and let out a long sigh:

"Forget it, young master, I don't want to cause a dispute."
