Old Mino really had two hits, but in just a few days, the city lord's new policy had spread throughout the entire mercenary city. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info said that the new deal was just with Shengxuan, the city lord, and the first of the most critical provisions of the decree proposed to keep the mercenary city as it was.

This decree immediately made the entire mercenary city boil, and the whole city seemed to be injected with life at once, and in a blink of an eye, it came to life, large and small taverns began to open, and those drunken mercenaries also began boring duels.

And the second article of the decree is that Shengxuan, the city lord, will not seek revenge for personal reasons, and he can not blame the mercenary group that has had a holiday with him in the past, but if the other party insists on going his own way and is still hostile, then he, the city lord, will never be soft.

Article 3 All the mines within the range of the Moon Dance will continue to be managed by their respective mercenary groups, but they must trade their production with Omar, and they must not monopolize other countries privately, of course, this other country is Calais, and although the orcs have recently risen, they are not yet able to buy anything.

Article 4 Shengxuan adjusted the tax policy, after all, it is now a city-state of Omar, even if it looks like it must be done decently, so he wrote the tax policy into it, but it has not changed much compared with before, and it may be said that the change is still very different in implementation.

Article 5 Rectify the mercenary union, I am afraid that this will be the key to changing the future of Mercenary City. The mercenary union has changed from the loose management of the past, which was just a place to issue tasks, to an existence with constraints and punishments. If that mercenary group does something that harms the interests of Mercenary City, it will be fined gold coins, then fined money and points, and demoted until the mercenary group is disbanded.

As a result, there have been some specific changes, the previous mission points of the mercenary group can only be used to complete the promotion, so that their group can recruit more members, but once they reach the top mercenary group points, they are no longer useful, but now the points can be exchanged for some practical items in the mercenary union, such as equipment built by dwarven craftsmen, some mysterious healing and recovery potions, rare magic crystal mineral medicinal materials, etc.

Of course, if you want to redeem it, you can't just use mercenary points, the union has also created a new contribution value, if you want to get it, you have to perform some official tasks for free to earn contributions, and the easiest way is to donate materials to exchange.

Those who don't know may not know the meaning behind it, but they just feel that this article is very beneficial to the development of Mercenary City, but those who know can see its actual true purpose.

Everything can be said to be provided by Shengxuan, the city lord, and the exchanged materials will inevitably fall into his hands, and he wants to alleviate the shortage of orc materials through this method.

Although the promulgation of the new policy will inevitably have an effect, it is far beyond Shengxuan's original expectations. He couldn't help but turn his gaze to Old Merno, this lustful and lustful old man obviously had an energy that was countless times stronger than his appearance, otherwise, it would not be possible to restore the mercenary city that was about to fall apart so quickly.

Mercenary City has stabilized like this, no one expected it, maybe there is Nicholas of the royal family who is disappointed, but after all, he has ancestral training with him, and he is not allowed to interfere in Mercenary City, and he can only watch Sheng Xuan pick up this big bargain.

And then there's Julio, even the most brainless people would think that those rumors must have been secretly spread by him. After the royal family revoked the principality, the Duchy of Julio, which was originally located in the middle of nowhere, was divided into three provinces and three provinces were established, one of which belonged to Mandel, which was located close to the Dark Valley, which was not surprising to Shengxuan, after all, Mandel had obtained the title of the kingdom, and now he was asked to be the governor of this province to let him continue to guard the Dark Valley, and only he could make the royal family feel at ease.

The middle part was left to Julio, which is easy to explain, after all, Julio's Grand Duke's Mansion is there, this time he sent a large army to Qin Wang Meritorious, although it is only a mercenary group, but it directly leads to the victory of the war, this merit alone is enough to keep the title, leaving him a province is even more understandable, I am afraid that the royal family has additional rewards, this is not what Shengxuan cares about.

The third part was given to the governor of Loren, which made Shengxuan a little difficult to understand, since the division of the province was to weaken the power of the principality, but why arrange a red man around the Grand Duke Julio to be the governor of the province?

Could it be that Loren was not Julio's person in the first place? If this is the case, I am afraid that the royal family's intentions are quite insidious, and they actually arranged such a secret son many years ago. But if it was a shadow, why did he dig him out and put him on the surface now? Sheng Xuan was reluctant to participate in more politics, but the situation forced him to think about it.

Finally, he gradually understood that maybe Loren was really installed by the royal family, and through hard work, this person gained Julio's trust, but it was because of this trust that the royal family felt uneasy,

So when he was not completely co-opted by Julio, let him be the governor of this province, on the one hand, he could wake up Loren and Julio, and on the other hand, there was really no suitable candidate, after all, the position of the Duchy of Julio was too special, and it was difficult for people who didn't know the situation to grasp it smoothly.

Copote. Kim, suddenly a name came to Sheng Xuan's mind, why did the governor of Modo County, who was installed by the royal family, suddenly disappear from people's sight?

It seems that it was Julio's means, the royal family originally installed a governor in the name of experience, but let Julio take the opportunity of the attack on the principality to dispose of people, he doesn't know how, but he feels Julio's cunning and ruthlessness.

But no matter how cunning the fox is, what can the tiger do? The royal family is a complete tiger, no matter how cunning you fox is, don't you have to lie down in the hole honestly under the roar of the tiger?

Today is the day when the new mercenary union is listed, and at this moment, the front of the door is already crowded with people who have come to celebrate, most of them are the heads of the mercenary group, and there are some businessmen who have heard the news, which can't help but make Sheng Xuan a little surprised, I didn't expect these businessmen's noses to be so smart, how long has it been? It has only been ten days since I returned to the mercenary city, and the new union has not been around for a few days, and they actually rushed here when they heard the news.

It must have been that they had already set off, the purpose was to congratulate themselves on taking office, the new city owner, but they had not appeared in public for a long time, just in time for the establishment of the new trade union, they rushed to join in the fun, and they could make a good fate, and they would inevitably deal with the union and the mercenary group in the future, how could they miss such an opportunity?

Sheng Xuan was hiding in the corner and watching his life playfully, when someone suddenly came to report: "Lord of the City, the elder said that it is almost over, is it to start the ceremony?" "Okay, I'll go right away." ”

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone outside shouting: "Grand Duke Julio, 1st Duke of Oma, has come to congratulate the mercenary union on the rebirth ceremony、、、、、、

Sheng Xuan's heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but smile slightly and said secretly in his heart: "It's still here that should come, I don't know what this little fox has in mind." ”

Walking out of the crowd quickly, I saw that Grand Duke Julio had already greeted him with a smile on his face, and he couldn't help but say a warm hug: "Brother Shengxuan, shouldn't you be the city lord now, hahaha, I'm really happy to see you come back safely,

But my eldest brother wants to pick on you, why don't you say hello when you pass by my door, can it be said that now that the lord of the city is dislike my humble house, and he can't greet you, a first-class lord?"

"The eldest brother just loves to joke, you also know that the younger brother is born with hard work, just came back from the king of hard work, and his newly sealed land was changed, I didn't run back in a hurry, I didn't dare to go to the house to disturb, I must come to the door another day to apologize, by the way, thank the eldest brother for so many years. ”

The two exchanged pleasantries, and Old Maino said beside him: "The old man has seen the Grand Duke Julio, and he has seen the lord of the city, will we start this ceremony immediately when the auspicious time comes?"

When Julio heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Old Mino meaningfully, and then laughed: "Look at me, you are so happy to see you that you almost missed my brother's big event." ”

"I can't help but be happy when I see my eldest brother, so I'll go to preside over the ceremony first, and then accompany my eldest brother to drink and talk later. With that, he walked briskly to the podium.

It is said that the ceremonial platform is just a three-foot-high wooden platform outside the gate of the union, but it is quite atmospheric. As Old Mai Nolang shouted: "The mercenary union restructuring ceremony is officially established! In the future, this will be the common home of our mercenaries, and the old man is fortunate to be favored by the city lord, Tian is the president, and everyone will take care of it in the future, so I invite our city lord to speak." ”

The ritual is very simple, that is, until these mercenaries are not so patient, so it is better to get straight to the point. Sheng Xuan took two steps forward and glanced around the audience, and then said:

"There were some rumors in the mercenary city before, but after a few days of President Maino's efforts, now I believe that everyone has understood the truth, although I am the city lord, but I have no intention of banning the mercenary group, here I once again explain my attitude, mercenary city will always be a mercenary city, will not change because of me alone, I believe that it will not change because of a certain person in the future, he will always be our mercenary city. ”

As soon as the words fell, the audience suddenly cheered. In the crowd, Sheng Xuan suddenly saw a person, and he couldn't help but feel his heart move, it was actually Gomos, but he didn't expect this person to appear here after the battle outside the royal capital.

Seeing Sheng Xuan's gaze fall on him, Gomos actually nodded slightly, obviously with the intention of easing the contradiction. Sheng Xuan also said slightly, and then looked away,

After the cheers gradually subsided, he said loudly again: "First of all, thank you for your support for the mercenary union, and also for me, the city lord. In addition, thank you to all the guests who came to congratulate you today, I have received your wishes, and we will cooperate more in the future, and the prosperity of Mercenary City depends on you. ”

He greeted the representatives of the merchants and Julio and others.

Then is the real purpose of this ceremony, Sheng Xuan cleared his throat to calm his mood, and then his eyes swept over the faces of those mercenaries again: "I also want to take this opportunity to issue a decree, maybe this will temporarily damage some of your interests, but it can make my mercenary city gain greater benefits, and it can also make it more stable." ”

"One, private fighting is forbidden in the city. Surprisingly, after listening to this decree, there was not much reaction from the audience, and Sheng Xuan continued to explain: "In consideration of everyone's safety, I came up with this ban, after all, everyone is a mercenary who walks from blood and fire, and the task on weekdays is extremely difficult, and it is lucky to survive many years of mercenary career.

In the future, if there is a conflict between mercenaries, you can find the mercenary union for arbitration, and I believe that the new mercenary union will definitely give everyone a justice, if some personal grudges really want to duel, a gladiatorial arena has been opened in the city, and hatred is not enough to decide life and death, then everyone can pull people who do not like their eyes to the gladiatorial arena and beat them up.

If the hatred is greater than life and death, as long as you sign a life and death certificate in the mercenary guild, the union will preside over a fair and just duel for you, and ensure that you will not get into trouble because of this, at least in the mercenary city you will not be sought revenge. ”

Mercenaries have mercenary methods, and they can't be blocked just by blocking them. And if you want to develop a mercenary city, you have to turn it into a shopping mall, if there is a bloody fight everywhere, how many merchants will be willing to come to trade?

It just so happened that many representatives of businessmen today were full of joy after hearing this, and they praised this decree. And the next words made them even more excited.

"Second, for the development of the mercenary city, in the future, the mercenary union will be responsible for the liaison with the chamber of commerce, and at the same time protect the confidentiality of the goods of your business partners, and must not let everyone spend money but bear the risk alone, in the future, as long as it is through the mercenary union transaction, the union will recommend the mercenary group to accompany the car, once there is danger, resulting in damage to your property, the union will bear certain responsibilities as appropriate, and make corresponding compensation. ”

This seemingly simple decree has put all mercenary groups in a dilemma, so that the union and the chamber of commerce will dock, all business will be carried out through the union, and they will no longer have the opportunity to buy and sell privately, if they do not have a good relationship with the union, it will be difficult for them to have business in the future, which forces them to integrate into the union, and at the same time bow to the city lord.

Subsequently, Sheng Xuan issued more than a dozen decrees in a row, of course, each of them was for the purpose of benefiting the mercenary city, but it could not satisfy everyone, and they all harmed the interests of each mercenary group to varying degrees, but they were all controlled to a degree that they could accept through gritted teeth.

"Now I'll issue the last decree," the key one was finally about to be spoken, and Sheng Xuan couldn't help but take a deep breath: "From today onwards, all mines operated by mercenary groups will ban slavery. ”

As soon as he was halfway through the sentence, there was an uproar in the audience. You must know that for so many years, the people who have supported the mining of the mine are some slaves who buy and sell, and there are some special mercenary groups who use the criminals of the kingdom, so they can ensure that the ore is mined in such a harsh environment, and the mercenary group can make a lot of profits.

You must know that the price of hiring civilians is much higher than buying slaves, such as the mines of Gomos, where buying a group of orc slaves with little to no food is the greatest value of exploitation, because slaves are too cheap, cheap enough to cover the value of their rations.

And food can become the most advantageous reward, the more mines you get, the more food you get, and when you die, you can buy another batch to replenish it, so that the orcs are forced to work hard, otherwise they will have no way to live. Those who dare to resist are even more dead, resulting in some notorious mercenary groups, and even have the title of slave butchers, Gomos is one of the most typical ones.

At the same time, he is also the strongest one among them, after all, none of those black elves want to provoke, otherwise he would not know that there is a deadly knife hidden in that darkness.

But he didn't want to at this moment, Gomos shouted: "I support this decree of the city lord, and I am willing to hand over all the orc slaves under my command and give them freedom." ”

With this shout, the scene that was still chaotic suddenly quieted down. All the mercenaries were speculating about the relationship between the two, and some of them knew that they were contradictory, and it was even more strange, why did the latter suddenly make such a gesture?

"Thank you Captain Gomos for your support, and I will remember your kind gesture to my heart. Of course, I don't want you to free your slaves for nothing, I will buy your slaves at a reasonable price, and then you can hire stronger laborers in my hands at a reasonable price, and I promise that you will not suffer. ”

"What is the matter of buying slaves and hiring them from him?" "Yes, the lord of the city is going to be a slave trader." "I really didn't see that the city lord had such great ambitions. ”

There was a lot of talk below, but with Gomos coming forward to support it, their voices could only be controlled to a very small extent, but everyone was talking, and it was as annoying as a swarm of buzzing flies.

Finally someone stood up and asked in a loud voice, "I don't know how the lord of the castle can guarantee our interests?" You know, if we don't have cheap labor, we won't be able to run mines and wood yards at all, and if we hire labor from the lord of the castle, then what money will we make?"

"Don't worry, everyone, please listen to what I have to say. Sheng Xuan's face was still as usual, this reaction was completely unexpected by him, and even because he didn't take into account the sudden factor like Gomos, this reaction was far better than he expected.

"I know the pain of everyone's business, and I also know the risk of everyone driving slaves, every year there are some members of your regiment who are killed and injured because of slave riots, but if everyone is hired labor, there will never be a riot, and those who don't want to do it can be relieved of their labor at any time, isn't it great?"

"You still don't get to the point, we don't care about how to hire, we just want to know how to make a profit. "Someone comes forward and someone follows suit, and this is the common nature of human beings.

The other mercenaries also looked at Sheng Xuan with interest, seeing how he answered. "Hehe, it's actually very simple, you have been in business for many years, and you must know the production of your own mine wood yard well, so I hereby guarantee that after the implementation of the employment system, it will definitely not be lower than your average output.

At the same time, let the ore and timber grade be a higher grade, as for the price, there are unions and chambers of commerce, of course, it is not a problem, and the extra income must far exceed the cost of your hired slaves. Are you still worried about your own interests?"

Having said this, and besides, the most powerful Gomos has already expressed his position, what other opinions can the others have? Whether they are willing or unwilling, they have signed the contract one after another. This matter was finally resolved, although some mercenary groups knew that the mine would not be completely in their own hands, but driven by huge interests, they could only do so for the time being, if they didn't find a way.

For those criminals, Sheng Xuan also has some specific divisions, first of all, they must be filed in the City Lord's Mansion, and a reasonable explanation needs to be given for death, and no abuse is allowed to be killed for no reason, but it also makes those special mercenary groups quite helpless.

As the celebration finally drew to a close, Gomos nodded meaningfully and left, leaving only Shengxuan's puzzled gaze as his back vanished. At this moment, Old Maino changed his previous obscenity, and said to him carefully: "City Lord, please come with me, there are a few 、、、、、、 adults who want to see you." ”

When the two sides met, Sheng Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute, only to see that it was none other than the bookstore owner and the space master of Gugalai, and behind them was Gleason, who had not been seen for many days.

"I didn't expect you little guy to toss like this. Space Master Abrett just said this and stepped aside, obviously not wanting to say anything more. Gleason just smiled and nodded, and followed his elders.

The bookstore owner looked at him with a smile: "Those little guys didn't embarrass you, hehe, that's good, Mercenary City is a chaotic place, but it's also a good place, otherwise we old guys wouldn't be hiding here all year round, and you don't need to ask more about some things that you shouldn't know." But don't forget the priority, no matter how good the mercenary city is, it's just an embellishment for you, do your own thing with your heart, and don't fall behind in your cultivation. ”

"Yes, the boy remembers the teachings of the master. "Okay, you go get busy, a few of us are just staying at home and are bored and come to see you, and when you have time to go sit where I am." Oh, and the Minor is good enough to use. After saying that, the old man and Aberret left, and this remark made him even more confused.
