Roland was also aware of this problem, and after casting a spell to seal the vault, he took out the magic guide radio and issued an order to the "Dawn" and "Independence" who were patrolling the air, asking the two airships to immediately go to Mochizuki Mountain to control the "lapis lazuli mine" under the name of Baron Hurd and find out the truth.

At this time, the battle in the city had ended, and the private soldiers of Baron Hurd's party gave up resistance and surrendered, except for Baron Hurd, the rest of the big slave owners in the city were all arrested, and all the ill-gotten gains were confiscated. At the beginning of their arrest, these guys still had some naïve thoughts, believing that the Kolas government had no roots in the local area and could only rely on them to maintain its rule, and even openly shouted that "without us to maintain order, Mochizuki City and the entire southern Xinjiang will fall into chaos." However, the reality is like a resounding slap in the face, proving that they are not as important as they think.

Joseph Davidovich, with the support of Roland, successfully took over the city hall of Mochizuki, eliminating a small number of high-ranking officials who were vegetarian - most of them were Baron Hurd's cronies, and most of the middle and lower-level officials were old subordinates of Joseph when he was mayor. Now that Mochizuki has changed, the old boss Joseph Davidovich has made a comeback, and southern Xinjiang is ushering in a vigorous social change, as the leaflets distributed by the giant eagles proclaimed: the abolition of anachronistic slavery, the introduction of agricultural reform, the construction of roads and railways, and the universalization of four-year compulsory primary education...... These long-awaited policies of the residents of southern Xinjiang first won the unanimous support of the middle and lower level officials, and the entire administrative system seemed to be injected with lubricating oil, operating with unprecedented efficiency, helping the new chief of Mochizuki Castle to pacify the people and maintain order.

On the night of November 20th, the Kolas government recaptured Mochizuki City, and by the next morning, the city had returned to calm, all walks of life were in order, and the pace of life of most people was the same as before.

On the morning of that day, Roland went to the city hall of Mochizuki and officially announced a letter of appointment: on his recommendation and approved by the cabinet, Rudolf I personally decreed the appointment of Joseph Davidovich as the governor of southern Xinjiang and the mayor of Mochizuki City.

Joseph received the letter of appointment to the applause of his colleagues, and his hands trembled with excitement. Ups and downs over the years, from the feudal officials to prisoners, and now back to the position three years ago, to continue his political life, to regain the blueprint of the original planning, at this moment his heart is full of mixed feelings, with tears to Roland deeply bowed, a thousand words into a heartfelt sentence:

"Your Royal Highness, I will not let you down!"

After the commissioning ceremony, Roland, accompanied by the new mayor, toured the city, attracting many citizens to the streets. This was the first time the locals had seen the legendary "Prince" in person, and at first they were afraid, but later they found that His Royal Highness was humble and approachable, so they had the courage to approach Roland and ask various questions. Among them, there are livelihood issues that the people are generally concerned about, such as whether it is really free for children to go to primary school, such as whether the agricultural tax has really been reduced by 50%, and some are gossip about His Royal Highness the Prince, such as whether he really slaughtered evil dragons, and whether he really has many confidants...... Whether it is about national policy or personal privacy, Roland patiently answers them, and occasionally uses innocuous jokes to resolve individual sensitive questions that are inconvenient to answer directly.

Of course, this street patrol is a show, where can ordinary citizens have the courage to question national policies and inquire into the private life of His Royal Highness the Prince? Most of the more acute, even offensive, questions were raised by the "actors" arranged in advance by Mayor Joseph, and Roland had prepared in advance. But it is undeniable that this arrangement has had an excellent effect: His Royal Highness's refinement, wit and humor are fully displayed in front of the eyes of thousands of citizens, and he has won the widespread affection of the citizens of Mochizuki City, especially after contrasting with the domineering and domineering style of Baron Hurd, and the support for His Royal Highness and the government of Kolas on behalf of His Royal Highness has become stronger.

The two-hour street patrol was just a trivial matter for Roland, who had experienced countless winds and waves, but he could see Joseph Davidovich's intentions and talents from this small matter, from security to patrol routes to interaction with the people, every detail was planned in advance and arranged in an orderly manner, which shows that this person is indeed very capable and familiar with civil affairs work.

Roland was very satisfied with Joseph Davidovich's work, but the southern Xinjiang has only calmed down the internal troubles at present, and the external troubles have not yet been resolved, which is not something that Joseph and his civil servants can handle, and he has to stay in Mochizuki City for a while to preside over the overall situation.

After finishing his street patrol, Roland received a magical text message from Aurora and Dewey on the way back to the Doge's Palace, the content was simple, only one sentence, but the amount of information contained in Roland moved Roland.

"At the western foot of Mochizuki Mountain, a huge gold mine has been discovered!"

It's not surprising that there are gold mines in Mt. Mochizuki, but how big is the "mega gold mine"? Roland decided to confirm it with his own eyes. Immediately summon the "Navigation Divine Messenger" Sputnia to come out and teleport directly to Mount Mochizuki.

As Joseph Davidovich guessed, the so-called "lapis lazuli mine" in the mountains under the name of Baron Hurd was actually a gold mine. In order to operate the gold mine, Baron Hurd really put a lot of effort into building a complete set of facilities for mining, refining, and purification in the mountains. The manual work of mining can be done by slaves, and these smelting facilities are not operated by slaves, and Baron Hurd spent a lot of money to hire an alchemist from Medes as the director of the mine, and the guards in charge of guarding the mines are also all Canaanites.

When the "Dawn" and "Independence" airships appeared over the mine this morning, the news of Mochizuki City's change of ownership had not yet reached the isolated mine, and Aurora and Dewey led two giant eagle wings to land, and after a fierce battle, they defeated the mine guards and took control of the entire mine.

Soon after, Roland received a message and personally interrogated the mine manager, who was said to be the nephew of Baron Hurd. His confession confirmed his suspicions: Baron Hurd was only half the owner of the gold mine, and the other major shareholder of the mine was none other than Meyer, the governor of Medes, a desert prince from the Rosenthal family.
