Chapter 185: What a big hat

Three days later, the people of Bonta City woke up early in the morning to find that Bonta City today seemed to be a little different from usual.

The most obvious thing is that there are many heavily armed city guards on the streets of the city, and there are two of them standing at every other intersection, guarding almost all the streets of Bonta.

If you look closely, you will see that the streets of the city seem to be extremely clean and tidy today.

The small stalls that usually sit on the side of the road have all disappeared cleanly today, as if they had suddenly been erased.

The shops on the side of the road did not put some goods out for sale as usual, but all of them were put into the shop, and they were neatly placed without the slightest clutter.

Even the floor, which would be a little dirty on weekdays, has been cleaned extremely clean today, and even some smooth places can even be illuminated by human figures.

People were a little surprised at first, but then they reacted instantly.

As early as three days ago, the "Bonta Daily" reported on the big event that was going to happen today - Bonta City is about to change its lord!

Fifteen years have passed since the current king ascended the throne and Count Satsuma was appointed lord of Bunta City.

For such a long time, all the people of Bangta City have long been accustomed to his existence.

For the vast majority of the people of Bangta City, when it comes to the lord of the city, it will only be the Count of Satsuma, so that many people of Bangta City have even forgotten what the surname of the lord of the city is, and only know that he is the lord of the city.

After getting used to it for so long, and now suddenly there is a change of city lord, after the people of Bangta City know about it. I felt a little embarrassed and awkward in my heart.

During the fifteen years that the Earl of Satsuma served as Bonta City. I have always been very responsible.

Although the first ten years were due to the city of Bonta itself. The Count of Satsuma did not make the city of Bonta rich, but for the common people, the lord of a city was quite satisfied that he was able to fulfill his basic duties.

In the first ten years, although the Earl of Satsuma did not make the economy of Bunta City develop, his management of the entire city was quite good.

In the past ten years, although the city of Bangta has not been able to close its doors at night, it can be regarded as well-managed, and there has hardly been any turmoil.

And the most praised by the general public. It was he who would actually strictly control the large and small nobles in Bangta City, and not allow these nobles to bully ordinary civilians at will.

Under his administration, there were very few incidents of nobles oppressing ordinary people in Bonta City over the years, and if they were discovered, the nobles who committed the crime would be immediately punished severely by the Count of Satsuma.

For ordinary civilians, this alone was enough to make them have a great admiration for this city lord.

And this is only more than ten years ago, when the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce suddenly appeared, and led to the development of the entire Bangta City, which greatly improved the economy of Bangta City, Count Satsuma did not hesitate to use the extra taxes collected by the City Lord's Mansion to improve the people's livelihood environment in Bangta City.

In this two-year period. The city of Bonta has almost completely changed.

Not to mention the renovation project on both sides of the Sandy River, which is nearing completion outside the city, the laying of the road transportation network outside the city involves a wide range of projects and costs a lot. Just now there is an urban public transport system in Bang Ta City, which makes people's lives much easier.

And just a few days ago, magic street lights were installed on several main streets in Bonta City.

Just like the new town square, these magic street lamps are lit up every night, illuminating all the streets, so that the people of Bonta City will no longer have to walk through these streets at night, as they did before.

And the street lamps on these streets are only the first phase of the project, according to the plan announced by the city lord's mansion, these magic street lamps designed and built by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will be installed in every street in the city of Bangta in the future for a period of time, and the entire city of Bangta will be lit up at night, making Bangta City the "city that never sleeps" that Count Satsuma declared in the "Bangta Daily" before.

Originally, the people of Bangta City were eagerly awaiting this day.

However, three days ago, after reading the news in the "Bonta Daily" that the city of Bonta was going to change the city owner, people were uncertain.

The Count of Satsuma is leaving, can the various municipal projects in Bunta City, which are extremely beneficial to the common people, continue to be carried out as planned?

"It's simply not an unnecessary worry. Count Satsuma kept a confident smile and said to Naxi, the editor-in-chief of the "Bonta Daily": "Although I have left Bonta City, President Xu and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are still there. To be honest, most of these municipal projects that you can say can change the face of the entire Bangta City were only made when Chairman Xu mentioned them to me. Even most of the money spent on the implementation of these municipal projects was injected by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the City Lord's Mansion could not come up with such a large amount of money. Therefore, as long as President Xu and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are still there, everyone does not need to worry about these problems. ”

The two of them were waiting with a large group of people on the side of the road outside the north gate of Bonta City.

Today is the day when Count Stark will take over as the lord of the city, and as the former lord of Bunta City, Count Satsuma led almost all the big people in Bunta City to welcome Count Stark's arrival.

Before Count Stark arrived, Naxi offered a brief interview to Count Satsuma.

"But after all, these municipal projects can only be carried out with the support of the city lord's government. Naxi frowned. "Now that you have left, Lord Lord, everyone is worried about whether Earl Stark's New City Lord's Mansion will continue to support these municipal projects as strongly as you do. ”

"As I said, it's an unnecessary worry. Count Satsuma put away his smile and said, "Since Count Stark has taken over as the lord of our Bangta City, he will naturally do his best to contribute to the development of Bangta City. These municipal works are all beneficial to the city of Bonta City, and the Earl of Stark will of course continue to support it on behalf of the city lord's palace. ”

Naxi hesitated for a moment, and secretly gritted his teeth. Then he asked, "But Lord Castle." I heard that the Stark family has a lot of opinions about President Xu and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Aren't you worried that after Count Stark becomes the lord of Bunta City, he will no longer support the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for this reason, or even suppress it?"

Count Satsuma's face immediately sank: "Where did you hear this? Let me understand, even if the Stark family has an opinion on Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it has nothing to do with Count Stark serving as the lord of Bunta City." Count Stark is the lord of Bonta City from today onwards, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is one of the most important chambers of commerce in our Bonta City, and for the development of Bonta City, of course, he will continue to support the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce like me. How can you speculate!"

Although Count Satsuma's tone was very harsh. But Naxi nodded awe-inspiring on the surface, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, revealing the true feelings in his heart.

Because Count Satsuma said this very righteously, and clearly expressed his attitude of supporting Count Stark, but if you carefully analyze what he said, you will find that he put him in a very awkward position before Count Stark came.

According to the meaning of Count Satsuma's words, since Count Stark, as the lord of Bunta City, of course has to consider the development of Buntar City, so he must support the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which is very important for the development of Buntar City.

If he doesn't support it. That is clearly not thinking about the development of Bangta City.

With such a big hat pressed down, how could Earl Stark not have the slightest scruples.

And Count Satsuma even defined the strength of this support. That is, "support the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce like he did".

How did Count Satsuma support the New Flying Chamber of Commerce?

As long as you are in the habit of watching the "Bonta Daily", you will often see the "Bonta Daily" Count Satsuma clearly expressed his support for the various initiatives of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

And now the construction of the municipal project that is most valued by the ordinary people in Bangta City, Count Satsuma even directly handed over to Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to be responsible.

This is almost equivalent to treating the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce as part of the City Lord's Mansion.

Such a level of support would not be possible for an ordinary city lord.

But if Earl Stark can't do it, then he will be inconsiderate of the development of Bunta City.

You know, the "Bang Ta Daily" now sells more than 50,000 copies a day, and the people of Tacheng have long been in the habit of getting information from the "Bang Ta Daily".

Now Naxi's interview with the Count of Satsuma at such a sensitive moment will, of course, be published entirely in the Bonta Daily.

In other words, what the Count of Satsuma said would eventually be known to the people of Bonta City through the Guò Bonta Daily.

For those ordinary people, these words of Count Satsuma were completely an exhortation and warning to Count Stark.

If Earl Stark doesn't do it well, I'm afraid that he will become the target of public criticism in an instant.

"President Xu, do you think that when Count Satsuma meets Count Stark in a while, will he focus on introducing you and your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to him?" In the waiting crowd not far away, President Cruise of the Amrley Chamber of Commerce asked Xu Yi in a low voice.

"Probably not. Xu Yi shook his head. "Yesterday, I specifically mentioned this matter to the City Lord, hoping that he would not introduce me and our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to the Castle Lord, and the City Lord agreed. ”

"Why?" said President Cruise, puzzled. "While I understand that you want to keep a low profile in front of Earl Stark, do you think it's possible? Count Stark will definitely gather enough information about our Bunta City before he comes, plus the Stark family...... Ahem, there's no way he's going not to notice you and your new flying chamber of commerce.

"That's something Earl Stark needs to think about, and it's none of my business. Xu Yi shrugged his shoulders and said lightly: "When it is not necessary, it is better for me to be low-key." ”

"But ......"

President Cruise was about to ask again, but suddenly he heard the people around him become noisy.

Looking into the distance of the road, I saw a row of horse-drawn carriages on the road at the far end of the road slowly approaching this way.

Needless to guess, this is obviously the arrival of the Earl of Stark. (To be continued......)
