When Maximus heard this, he immediately felt a sense of seeing the road clearly, but Ari only said a little bit, and he couldn't think it through, so he could only put it down for the time being, and then think about it carefully when he returned.

He thought for a while, then suddenly looked at Ari and asked, "I don't know when the things that Ari City Lord promised will be done." ”

Ari looked at him in surprise, "I wonder what the Archbishop is referring to?"

Maximus said: "It is natural to build churches in each district. ”

"It's fine, but it's ......"

"But what, the city lord has something to say. ”

Ari hesitated a little, and after a while, he made up his mind, and said in a deep voice: "Since I promised the temple, I naturally will not go back, and even the churches built by the archbishop's districts can not let the church give a single gold coin, but there are some ugly things I must say in front." ”

"Speak. ”

"I have come out of the village and town, with the exception of the Holy Maiden Elena, I have a very bad impression of all the priests, and if the church wants to have my support, it must do the following.

"First, the church must strictly investigate and punish all the priests who oppress the people, and strictly arrest the corrupt priests, and Atlanta City will definitely not become an umbrella for any crime!"

"Second, within the scope of third-level divine healing, the church must treat all Atlantans free of charge, and must not charge a fee for any reason. ”

"Third, under my rule, the church may only collect church taxes, and no other taxes may be collected in any name, and the total monthly tax shall not exceed ten percent of the believer's income. ”

Maximus's brows furrowed when Ari's first sentence came out, and when Ari finished speaking, his face was full of anger and said: "The city lord may have some misunderstanding about the church, first, the priests of the church have always been conscientious in their duties, and they will never do anything to oppress believers. Second, the Church has always treated the people free of charge and has never charged any fees, and third, the right to tax is a right given to the Church by the Kingdom, and although I do not think that the Church will collect more than 10 percent of the tax, I cannot agree to this one. ”

Ari said: "The third point will be put aside, but the first and second points are impossible for the church to deny, could it be...... We're talking about not fitting into a church?"

Maximos heard the ridicule in Ari's words, and his face immediately became gloomy: "Even if you are the city lord, you should maintain a certain amount of respect for the church. ”

Ari smiled and said, "Hearing is false, seeing is believing, if the archbishop wishes, I can accompany the archbishop to all the villages and towns under the rule of Atlanta City, and see for myself how the priests under the rule of Atlanta City are doing their duty, if half of the priests do what you described, archbishop, I will unconditionally agree to all your requests." ”

Maximus is not a fool either, hearing Ari's affirmation, he immediately frowned and asked, "You are so confident?"

Ari said respectfully, "As long as you don't leak it out in advance, we will see a real situation." Then you will understand that I am here for the good of the church, after all...... Even if it's wool, you can't shave off all the skin. ”

Maximos understood the meaning of Ari's words, which meant that the church was scraping the ground, and he suppressed his anger and said, "Then tomorrow, if it is really like what you said, I will naturally clean up the dirt without you needing to say it!"

"Then it's a deal!" said Ari, looking at Maximus with a smile, in a good mood.

Through Elena, Ari is no stranger to Maximus, and it is fair to say that others are ignorant of what is going on below the church. Ari certainly didn't believe it, but if this person was Maximus, then it would be fine.

Maximus's resume is very conspicuous even in the Church of Light, and his father is said to be a certain pope of the Church of Light.

To put it simply, this is the second generation of super officials, since he practiced divine arts, he has made rapid progress, and when he reached the senior priesthood, he was appointed as a regional bishop, but he didn't manage it at all, he just worked hard to cultivate divine arts.

Even so, he was able to rise steadily, and now he has sat down as a cardinal archbishop, and one step further will be the Pope.

Such a person, he may be very smart, but he must not know the real situation of the church, because he has not been down to the grassroots level, and he has no idea how dark it is underneath.

Maximus glanced at him, then stood up and left the auditorium with a blank face.

Ari didn't care, but turned around and listened to Lannis's explanation on the stage with a happy face.

From his explanation, Ari found that he didn't have a thorough understanding of his plan, but it was inevitable. Many things and kingdoms are not a set of running methods, and although his planning will be a little more efficient, it will only be achieved until he is proficient.

An hour later, Lannis finally finished explaining the functions of the various departments of the City Lord's Mansion, although there are few people who understand it, but at present, it can only go so far, and the rest will be slowly run in practice.

After this, the officials sent by the kingdom to make soy sauce also breathed a sigh of relief after Tolkien's edict was officially handed over to Ari.

He was also an experienced envoy, but there was no one like Atlanta who completely ignored the officials who came on behalf of the king, and even the most domineering local lords would do superficial work.

However, he had also heard of Eri's reputation, and he would definitely not be able to provoke anyone who dared to break into the king's capital and still be the lord of the city without incident, so he could only act as if nothing had happened.

At the end of the ceremony, the nobles did not leave, but under the leadership of Jeff, they went to a community in the East District named Purple Qi Donglai.

This is also the only community in the Eastern District that has been built, and it is located in the best geographical location in the Eastern District.

The community is based on modern style, combined with the romantic Italian Tuscan style, and the world classic architecture full of passion and exotic style is reproduced in Atlanta.

It is said that it is a community, even larger than an ordinary town, and Airi uses the terrain to plant a large number of original ecological vegetation, and even excavates an evergreen lake in the community to enjoy the natural landscape landscape.

There are a total of 50 villas in Ziqi Donglai Community, built around Changqing Lake, except for the first one, the others are still rough houses, in addition to the appearance is still consistent, basically still in the most primitive state.

Jeff took a large group of nobles and just walked into the range of the Purple Qi Donglai Community, and a group of nobles had already seen their eyes shine.

The neat roads, the beautiful environment, and the looming villas among the green trees and green waters, like a paradise, have not seen the real house, they have already been moved.

However, they got excited too soon......

Jeff brought them to the first villa and introduced with a smile: "This is a model house, only for decoration reference. The living area is about 1,000 square meters, and the internal furniture is all made of furniture produced by the Youth Gang, and the remaining 49 rooms are still rough houses, and everyone can decorate them by themselves after getting their hands on them. In addition, because of the limitation of land, this community is the only one, and it is impossible for others to reach this level, so everyone should be prepared. ”

As soon as Jeff's words fell, many people's brows furrowed, if there were only fifty sets, then the competition would be fierce.

But everyone didn't say anything, and now the house hasn't been seen, and it's not certain whether they want it after reading it, and even if they want to, it's secretly fighting for it by means, and they won't fight for it in person.

Everyone walked into the villa in order to experience, and there were waiters waiting inside. When they walked into the villa, they immediately greeted them with a smile, and explained softly how to use all kinds of novel furniture.

After Jeff handed them over to the waiter, he ignored them and walked directly into a room guarded by the waiter, standing in the middle of an extremely complex magic circle. Wait until he puts a fourth-level demon core in it. The whole person disappeared into the room in an instant.

Meanwhile. A white light suddenly lit up in a room in the town hall, and then Jeff's figure appeared in the room.

"Magic is really the first productive force!" Even if it wasn't the first time he experienced it, Jeff was still a little amazed.

Just for the function of this magic array teleportation, those nobles are afraid that they will break their heads, although this is just a teleportation array, but in the eyes of the nobles, what others don't have, that is face!

In the city lord's office at the city hall, Lannis was staring at Ari, and in the midst of countless things, the two of them couldn't find anything to do.

Lannis smiled wryly, "We're not going to just sit there. ”

Although the two of them are nominally city lords, one is in charge of commerce and trade, and the other is in charge of education, and now the businessmen are still looking at the wind, except for the clerks, the Department of Commerce and Trade is simply empty, not to mention the Education Department, not even a sweeper, a complete empty shelf?

Ari drank tea from the first floor. He said indifferently: "Don't worry, you are busy in the back, it is not easy to register the shops in the city, and there are countless foreign merchants, I am afraid that you will be busy picking at that time." ”

Lannis smiled bitterly: "Then things have to go well, if the merchants don't support you, the trade hall is like a fictitious one." ”

"Don't worry," Ari looked at him with a smile and said, "Since you are bored, then you go and contact the major guilds, their guild residences will also start to be built, the place is up to them, the only requirement is that the straight-line distance from the City Lord's Mansion cannot be less than two hundred meters, and cannot exceed one thousand meters." ”

"Okay, I'll go. Lannis nodded, and prepared to do it, after all, it was a bit embarrassing to stay in the office and stare at Eri.

At this time, Lilia was also in a state of confusion.

The Security Department was too big, and for now, a single building was a bit outrageous for her current staff.

The garrison has three floors, and they can't even use up the first floor.

She was very happy at first, it was a good thing that there were many rooms, and she directly and generously assigned an office room to each of the big guys, but when she needed to find someone, she suddenly had a headache.

When Joffrey heard that Lilia was in trouble, he immediately found Lilia excitedly and said, "Sister, don't you have a lot of places, just give me the second floor to use, my mercenary group also needs a formal office space." ”

Lilia glanced at him and said, "This is the Garrison Department, not a place for you to mess around." ”

Joffrey smiled and said, "Sister, are you not having enough headaches, I have a way." ”

"What can you do?" Lilia looked at him in disbelief. The Youth Gang used to only be in charge of the North District, and the manpower was more than enough, but in the future, the security of the five districts will be under her control, and the manpower will be a little tight, especially the soldiers of the Dragon Falcon Army, she can't be transferred over, and there are even fewer people who can believe it.

Joffrey said: "You can leave the security matter to me, didn't the boss say that each district will have a branch of the security department, you only need to send a few people over, and then the guild will issue a task." My mercenary group will take over the task, so that we can not only brush up the mercenary group's achievements, but also solve your problem of lack of manpower. ”

Lilia nodded first when she heard this, and then suddenly realized that something was wrong, her eyebrows suddenly raised slightly, and she sneered: "Joffrey, your wings are stiff now, aren't you, are you still waiting for the time to take over the garrison from me?"

Joffrey didn't panic at all, shook his head, and said: "I'm here for the sake of my sister, you must know that there are a lot of things in the security department, you will be busy at that time, where will you have time to think about other things, but Carol can accompany the boss every day, and you will suffer a big loss at that time!"

Lilia's eyes narrowed when she heard this: "What do you mean!"

Joffrey sighed and said, "My silly sister, face yourself, Carol doesn't hesitate at all, she chases after her, no, even her aunt has got it, if you delay it because of these unimportant things, you won't have a chance at all." ”

"So, I'm going to leave this unimportant matter to you?"

Joffrey nodded heavily: "Of course, you have to believe me, I will definitely help you take care of it, go ahead." Let's have a good fight with Carol, and my sister won't lose to her!"

"Get out!"

Lilia blasted Joffrey straight out, with disdain on her face.

Thought I didn't know?

screaming at Carol's sister-in-law every day, I really think everyone else is deaf.

However, Joffrey's words gave Lilia some inspiration, with her current manpower to take charge of the whole city, it is naturally impossible, but if each district is divided into several parts, a part of the garrison is called over, and they are turned into garrisons to carry out patrol duties, and the people of the Youth Gang only need to be responsible for managing them, so that after a long time, the shelves of the garrison will be spread out, and they will truly be in charge of the whole city.
