Letting Ferex preside over the construction of the "development zone" was a decision made by Sui Xiong after careful consideration. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Church of the Void Mask is currently known to be full of talents, but the direction of talents is very extreme, and there are many talents in the direction of military personnel and petty officials, but there are not many people who can really take charge of themselves.

Supposedly, the most suitable person to be on her own is actually the Miss "Pan Zhuogen", who is working as a teacher in the school for the priesthood. However, they are believers in the god of centaurs, and they are die-hard loyalists. Expecting her to help Sui Xiong build a development zone is tantamount to asking for fish from the wood.

The second is probably Qiao Xiu, after all, he was a tribal patriarch. But for some reason, he is really not suitable to be the chief officer, so he can only serve as an auxiliary officer.

So retreating, Sui Xiong searched for a while, and finally found Ferex who was teaching students, hoping to pass on the strange battle mage profession of "Demon Cannon Warrior".

Ferex had a good record in the world's No. 1 martial arts tournament, and since then he has been famous, and has received a lot of invitations. However, instead of accepting invitations from the yarn groups or various organizations, she stayed at the Void Mask Playground and joined the mage group of the Void Mask Church.

In exchange, she used the power of the church to find a few children who were both mages and rangers, and taught them the skills of the "magic gunner" profession, so as to fulfill the promise of her youth and pass on the profession.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, years are passed. The children gradually grew into teenagers, and Ferex himself grew a lot. Similar to others such as Qiao Xiu, they have all begun to touch the legendary realm.

However, there is still a long distance between "touching the legendary realm" and "stepping into the legendary realm". As the heir to the bloodline of the legendary creature "Immortal Bird". Ferex, who has awakened the power of the bloodline, can live for a long, long time, so she is not in a hurry. Determined to work with water. Relying on the accumulation of years, slowly step into that realm.

That being the case. She's more idle now. In addition, she was a businessman, with a broad vision and a flexible mind, and her performance in the mage group during this period was also very prominent, and finally Sui Xiongcai made up his mind to let her be the mayor of Huishi Town and preside over the construction of the "Development Zone".

Ferex is not averse to the job, but she herself is curious to know how His Majesty the Mask of the Void intends to revive a dilapidated town that is in ruin and build it into an example of what he calls "social progress." If you can fill in your own stroke in this business. That's even more fun, of course.

So after getting the invitation, she inquired in detail and happily accepted the job. After a little preparation, he left the playground with the students and came to Huishi Town in the cold of the northwest winter.

Of course, Sui Xiong won't just let her fight alone. It won't be long before someone arrives to help. The reason why she was allowed to come first was her own request.

"Since I'm going to be mayor. In charge of the construction of this town, then I should be the first to start the work. "It's like fighting a war, a commander at the front." Undoubtedly, it is more convincing to his subordinates than the one that shrinks in the back. It's the same thing. ”

That's why she came in a hurry, and she was busy seizing power as soon as she came, using the "physical persuasion method" that ordinary magicians would never use to seize the position of mayor of Pyroxene Town. And hurriedly built a magic school to prepare for the follow-up work.

A few hours later. In the evening, the students of Isuka School of Witchcraft and Wizardry returned with their guide, Haman. I could tell they were all a little sad. The little girls who were not in high spirits and were full of feelings still had a little red eyes, obviously crying.

As soon as they saw the teacher, they talked about what they had seen and heard about the trip. It can be roughly summed up in one sentence - the people here are poor and pitiful, and they need help.

When Ferex checked their expenses, he unsurprisingly saw a large amount of money spent on food. Carefully calculated, these little guys bought at least enough food for hundreds of people to eat for a month, and the price was quite high, and they were very suspicious of being wronged.

Seeing the accounts, Ferex frowned and looked at Harman.

As a powerhouse on the verge of legend, of course she wouldn't take this little money into her eyes. But the students were wronged, which made her very unhappy. It's okay that those teenagers lack social experience, Harman is obviously a local, and he doesn't look like a fool, why can't he do this thing?

Seeing that her face was ugly after reading the bill, Haman suddenly chuckled in his heart, and whispered, "Master Magician, this food expense is a one-time payment. Those who are poor will save their food, plus their own work...... It is estimated that it will be able to survive this winter. ”

Ferex frowned and said, "It's nothing like that, but why are these grains so expensive?"

Haman was stunned: "Expensive? This is still a discount on bulk purchases......

Now it was Ferex's turn to wonder, she looked at the bill carefully, and recalled it carefully, confirming that even the price of food at the Void Mask Playground would not be so expensive. And the food in the Void Mask Playground is much more advanced than here, such as "coarsely ground golden rattan flour" or something, except for a small amount that may be used in some special meals, it is really not fed to dogs in the playground.

The price of grain in this place is so high?

The merchant's common sense was challenged, and Ferex was immediately curious. So the next day, she arranged for the students to continue building dormitories with their staffs and preparing shelters for those who followed, while she took Haman to visit the market.

To be honest, compared to the Void Masquerade Playground, the "market" in Pyroxene Town is shabby enough. It took Ferex less than ten minutes to get around it—there were only three stores in total, and the goods were so plain that there was nothing to see.

Her main concern was the price of goods, and she found the prices here to be a bit strange. Metals and sundries are cheap, but daily consumables such as food are quite expensive, especially food, which is surprisingly expensive.

She also talked to the owner of the shop that sold the grain for a while. Probably because of the big deal brought by Harman yesterday, the boss was in a good mood and almost answered all questions. When she asked about the price of food, the boss said that the food on this side of the Ash Forest was already expensive, especially in the past two years, there were fewer pioneer villages, and the food was basically transported from Rye Town and even the Void Mask Playground, so it was naturally more expensive.

"Food prices must be stabilized. After returning, she told Sui Xiong, "The income of the people here is not high, and if the price of food is so high, it will be difficult to retain manpower, and it will be impossible to talk about the construction of the village." ”

Sui Xiong naturally had no opinion on this, he originally only focused on the main direction, and the details of the town's construction were completely handed over to Ferex. Since Ferex felt the need to stabilize food prices, it would be better to stabilize food prices.

Ferex was very mobile, and now that she had made her decision, she immediately began to build the teleportation circle - according to the plan, there was no need to build it in such a hurry, but the plan could not keep up with the change.

It only took two days to build a simple teleportation circle. As soon as the circle was completed, Ferex carefully inspected the circle and hurriedly teleported back to the Faceless Void Playground, where he bought a large amount of food in one go, and then came to Pyroxene Town.

She was resolute and immediately rushed to the food store to discuss with the owner about buying the store.

The owner of the food store has little affection for the run-down town, but he stresses that if he sells his shop in the winter, the family will have nowhere to go.

So Ferex had to buy the entire store and all the goods at a price almost 20% higher than the market price, and then rent a nice house for the owner's family, so that they could spend the winter in peace, and then consider doing something else when the spring flowers bloomed.

Once she had done that, she asked Haman to recruit men, reorganize the store, and adjust the price of food.

"Master Magician, won't you lose money by selling grain so cheaply?" Of course, Harman was willing to change his career to become a grain store owner, but when he learned about Ferex's "grain guide price", he couldn't help but be startled and asked worriedly.

Ferex frowned: "Don't mind this little thing, just do what I say." I can afford to lose this money, even if it is such a loss for a hundred years, I don't care. ”

The employer said so, and of course Harman had no problem. He recruited a few honest people, reorganized the grain store, and reopened it.

It's just that at this time, the signboard of the grain store has become "Huishi Town Grain Store".

That's right, at Sui Xiong's suggestion, Ferex changed this grain store to the town's public property. The "public ownership" of another world has been transformed into a new one.

"As for the grain business, it is said that the state should not make money from it. Sui Xiong said to her, "The people regard food as the sky, and food and agriculture are the foundation of a country's stability." Even if you want to lose money, as long as you don't lose too hard, you can make up for it from other aspects, it is not a problem. ”

Ferex had never been exposed to this point of view, and it took him a while to understand Sui Xiong's train of thought. Then she praised it greatly, thinking that His Majesty the Void Mask was really far-sighted and wise, and he immediately grasped the key to the construction of the territory!

If a territory can maintain food stability, then the entire territory can naturally be relatively stable. In this case, of course, grain should be monopolized by the territory, and should not be operated by private merchants at all!

Not only that, but she also further expanded from Sui Xiong's point of view, believing that all industries closely related to the livelihood of ordinary people should be monopolized by the territory. Only those businesses that do not have a close impact on people's lives can be opened to private businesses.

"Are you really a businessman?" Sui Xiong asked in surprise.

"Of course!"

"But what are you doing against the merchants?"

"I'm a lord now!" said Ferex with a smile, "The principle of a merchant is to give priority to his own interests. If it's in my interest to revive the town of Pyroxene, why should I bother with the other merchants?" )
