Tallinn City in the middle of summer can be said to be a tourist attraction, the flowering period of the unique magic pattern here is just in the late summer and early autumn, every season, the streets and alleys of Tallinn City are full of palm-sized magic flowers, and the white petals on the wisps of natural formation of magic patterns make them more mysterious and noble.

Unfortunately, this year's Tallinn city is not as lively as it has been in previous years, since the sudden arrival of the Pritz City army a few days ago has breached the city, a steady stream of tourists have fled the city, and the hotels that were originally fully booked can only be sighed.
With a pile of parchment scrolls in his arms, Charin Lussiveld trembled behind a Tang soldier into the Consulate of Tallinn, where he would be questioned by the new governor of the province of Pritz.
The door to the heavy consul's office was opened by the Tang soldiers, and Charin Lusived cautiously stepped inside, respectfully saluting the Governor who was writing at his desk.
When the governor of the new province of Pritz glanced up at Charing, Charing was surprised to find that the governor was a young man who was too handsome to speak, with a thin body, a white face, and deep features, and if the noble ladies and ladies saw it, they might immediately scream and flatter.
"Baron Charin Lusived, former treasurer of Tallinn City, the northern province of the Paris Empire!" Gao Xianzhi softly confirmed Charin's identity. After receiving Charing's affirmative answer, Gao Xianzhi asked suspiciously: "As far as I know, Baron Lucsived should be from the Anderheitam Business Alliance, I don't know why you came to the city of the Paris Empire to serve as a treasurer?
Charin smiled bitterly, he knew that his identity would be questioned, but he didn't expect His Excellency the Governor to ask so directly. However, Charin was accustomed to this, so he immediately replied: "It was because I was framed in the Underheitsen business alliance and my business failed, and I had to leave my homeland as a last resort, and I was taken in by the consul of Tallinn, Mr. Leander, so I have been serving Mr. Leander as a treasurer." ”
"Hmm~!" Charin's answer was consistent with the results of the Iga ninja's investigation, so Gao Xianzhi immediately asked, "Baron Lucisverd has been the treasurer of Tallinn City for several years, and I don't know if he knows everything about the affairs of the city?"
"Of course, Your Excellency the Governor, Tallinn City currently has about 28,000 inhabitants, who make their living mainly by cultivating magic flowers and providing tourist services such as hotels and hotels, and of last year's taxes, the tax revenue from the plantation industry was 1,507 gold coins and 38 silver coins, and the tax on the tourism services industry was 2,552 gold coins and 70 silver coins. The city patrol guard, which has a total of 500 soldiers, spent 200 gold coins last year, mainly to pay military salaries and repair weapons and equipment, and other municipal expenditures were 830 gold coins, mainly to pave the roads in the city and repair the city walls......"
When it comes to Tallinn's finances, Charin Lusived gushes like a treasure. Gao Xianzhi's eyes showed a slight look of approval, after inspecting the provincial cities and seeing many noble officials with fat brains and corpse meals, Charin Lusived's performance could be said to be pleasantly surprised.
Although he did not look at the specific written figures, it was clear from the confidence between Charing's words that he had already memorized them, and there should be no deviations. Gao Xianzhi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, I didn't expect Baron Lucived to be so attentive to his work." ”
Gao Xianzhi's words interrupted Charing's gushing explanation, making Charing suddenly realize that he had too many words, and couldn't help but secretly annoy his nerdy anger, as soon as he mentioned work, he completely forgot about his surroundings, and was so rude in front of His Excellency the Governor.
"Hug ...... Sorry, Your Excellency the Governor, I didn't mean to, it's all my professional habits. Charin hurriedly apologized to Governor Gao Xianzhi.
"It's okay, Baron Lucived doesn't need to care, but I don't know if Baron Lucived has any plans for the future development of Tallinn City, or what should Tallinn City do in the future management?" Gao Xianzhi smiled slightly and said that it was okay, and then continued to test Charin.
"Well......" Hearing His Excellency the Governor's question, Charing's heart was overjoyed, and he had prepared several sets of responses long before he came, including this question.
"The most important issue at the moment is to stabilize the hearts of the inhabitants, since the city of Tallinn is newly occupied by the Principality of Pritz, the residents are worried about the tyranny or discrimination of the Principality of Pritz, and the second is that if they obey the Principality of Pritz, they will be liquidated when the Paris Empire is re-defeated. If these two points are not resolved, I am afraid that the city of Tallinn will continue to be in turmoil.
However, it should be easier to solve, as long as His Excellency the Governor can personally give a speech and appoint some officials from among the people of Tallinn, he can temporarily calm the people's minds, and then conduct a military appearance review to show all the people the strength of the Principality of Pritz, which will surely make those who have Paris in their hearts die!"
Charing's idea coincided with Gao Xianzhi's plan, which made Gao Xianzhi's heart even more satisfied, and his gaze at Charin became softer. This subtle change made Charing's heart drop slightly, and it seemed that his response was qualified.
"Hmm...... As I think you know, the former consul of Tallinn, Mr. Leander, abandoned his position because he was dissatisfied with the occupation of Tallinn by the Principality of Pritz. A huge city of Tallinn can't live without an archon, I wonder if Baron Lucived is willing to take over the position of consul of Tallinn City?"
Gao Xianzhi's words made Charing stunned at first, and then there was a burst of ecstasy.
"Your Excellency, you mean to make me consul......? Are you serious?" Charling asked excitedly reconfirmed.
"Yes, I wonder if Mr. Charin Lusived would like to take up the position of Archon of Tallinn City, the new province of the Duchy of Pritz?" Gao Xianzhi repeated with a smile, the previous few questions made him have a very good impression of Charin, so he made this decision.
"Yes, yes, of course!" Charin agreed.
The Count of Leander, who was kind to him, was not as great as Gao Xianzhi said, he abandoned the city and fled when the Pritzians attacked the city, and he didn't inform Charin at all, plus Charin was not from the Paris Empire in the first place, so Charin had no obligation to continue to be loyal to the Paris Empire or for Count Leander.
Being able to transform from a treasurer to an archon of a city was a fundamental leap, and Gao Xianzhi's trust made Charin decide to follow His Excellency the Governor in the future.
