"Batra, he's my nephew Likini, and he attended your family's dance last time, what's so hard about you opening a tax-free approval?" Mrs. Luna confronts the tax collector of Batra.

"Of course it won't be difficult for me to write a slip, but I have to be responsible to the Dodan Town Tax Office, and I have to be worthy of Miss Hathaway's trust."

The tax collector of Batra righteously refused.

"Okay, we'll see!" The young man roared viciously again.

Surdak found that this Batra tax officer was actually quite backbone, and his impression of him instantly improved a lot.

On the other hand, Mrs. Luna was a little disappointed, and after all, he could not escape the fetters of family affection.

He hesitated to go in now, to put an end to the matter, and before he could enter Mrs. Luna's office, he saw a young man dressed in a black and gold-encrusted aristocratic garb coming out of the room in a rage.

An attendant behind him chased after him in a panic, and he happened to meet Surdak in the corridor, and the young man strode downstairs in a huff, ignoring Surdak.

The attendant glanced at Surdak warily, said nothing, and dodged quickly.

Surdak found that this young man should be the owner of the magic caravan in the courtyard downstairs, and it should have been him who made the magic caravan turn around in the downtown area of Long Street, causing congestion on the street for a long time.

Surdak had originally wanted to promote Lady Luna to deputy mayor and handle the day-to-day affairs of the town, but now he was hesitant in his heart.

As soon as he was about to step into the office, he heard a whispered conversation coming from the office: "Your nephew Likini seems to be gone, Luna." ”

"Hey, he's been spoiled by my brother since he was a child, and now he learns to help the family, and he always takes things short, thinking that he is the smartest one, and it is natural for everyone to serve him." There was a hint of melancholy in Lady Luna's voice, and then she added:

"Hopefully he'll grow a little bit this time......"

There was the sound of chairs moving in the room, and then the tax collector of Batra said:

"This time you completely offended your nephew, aren't you afraid that he will hate you?"

Lady Luna laughed softly:

"That's why I'm pushing this on you. Don't worry, their hand can't reach so far, this is the town of Dodan. ”

The Bartra tax collector's laughter was a little rougher, and he asked:

"Do you want me to be a little more fierce and do it more thoroughly?"

Mrs. Luna hurriedly said: "He is a strong inward, don't scare him, don't worry, he is much less bold than he appears, and he will pay taxes obediently, just make this kind of thing a habit." ”

The tax collector of Batra lowered his voice and asked:

"Okay...... I heard that the one in the barracks is going to take over as mayor? ”

Mrs. Luna agreed: "Well, the letter of appointment has been sent, I haven't been able to see him for the past few days, I heard that the barracks are clearing the ghost-patterned red ants, and they are about to cross the border of Nantu Town......"

The tax officer of Batra then spoke: "Recently, there have been a lot of caravans in the town, and most of the adventure groups and mercenary groups have gone into the hills and mountains to hunt, and this month's tax revenue can increase by a large margin. ”

Surdak stood in the hallway, deliberately letting his leather boots trample on the floor 'duangduangduang'.

The conversation in Mrs. Luna's office stopped.

Surdak let go of his steps and walked into Mrs. Luna's office, where she saw Mrs. Luna and Tax Officer Batra sitting at their desks, and Mrs. Luna's assistant coming out of the room with a teacup.

Mrs. Luna wore her long hair neatly tied up and sat at her desk in a long and modest dress.

Seeing Surdak striding in from outside, he quickly stood up and said:

"Commander Surdak ......"

The tax collector of Batra also stood up with Lady Luna and said with a smile:

"Maybe it's better for us to call Mayor Mare."

Mrs. Luna greeted her and asked Surdak:

"Mayor Mare, I've got your office ready, are you officially in office today?"

As he spoke, he took the initiative to go to the front.

The assistant took out a bunch of keys from the wall first, followed Mrs. Luna into the hallway, and opened the door to the innermost room, which was indeed very clean.

Surdak walked in and walked around the room before he said:

"Oh, that's right! However, in the future, Lady Luna will still handle the day-to-day affairs of the town, and my main focus will still be on the garrison side, and I will also promote some new plans on the town side of Dodan......"

He walked over to the white gray wall of the room, took out a parchment sketch map from his bosom, and nailed it to the wall with a leather peg.

The lines of the map are a little messy, and some of the streets are drawn crookedly, but the most valuable thing is that every building on the town is drawn on it, which is the latest version of the town map that Nika spent a week drawing with some of the town's native children.

Surdak had already asked Lance to help redraw it, every magician was a master cartographer, and they were blessed with the ability to fly into the air on a magic handlebar for a bird's-eye view of the town.

Pointing to the sketch map of the town of Dodan, he said to the tax collector of Batra and Lady Luna:

"I'm going to enclose a piece of land along the river right here and build a riverside wooden house to alleviate the serious shortage of residential areas in the town."

Seeing that Surdak said so solemnly, the tax collector of Batra also looked seriously on the map.

In addition to being ugly, this map actually has streets, houses, rivers and everything, even courtyards and some trees, chicken coops and duck sheds, and all the messy things that can be drawn are drawn, which is why the lines are so messy.

The tax collector of Batra knew much more about the town of Dodan than Surdak.

Seeing that the area Surdak was referring to was the river on the south side of the town, he frowned and said:

"It's close to the aboriginal gathering area, and the law and order here are usually chaotic, and there are several leather workshops and leather workshops that are also built here......"

Surdak is also aware of these situations, "The leather workshops along the river need to be relocated to the lower reaches of the town, the aboriginal settlement area also needs to participate in the renovation and reconstruction, and the simple shacks built near the river have to be demolished to give them some compensation for relocation." ”

Seeing that the tax collector of Batra and Mrs. Luna were a little incomprehensible, he said:

"Oh, just tear down their houses, give them some money to move out, and by the way, rebuild them in a place of residence elsewhere in town, which is a riverside landscape belt, and build a high-end wooden house on stilts."

The tax collector of Batra and Lady Luna looked at each other, their eyes filled with 'Do you need money to get those natives away?' 'Incomprehensible.

But since Mayor Surdak said so, they just did it.

Surdak stretched out his hand to draw a long ellipse on the river on the parchment map, and said: "This is it, since we have abundant timber resources here, and it is so convenient to build wooden houses, then we should make full use of the advantages of this river to build a wooden house, which can be sold or rented, and the ownership belongs to the town......"

Regarding Surdak's decision, the tax officer of Batra was even more difficult to understand, and thought to himself: The mayor of Surdak didn't open a timber yard, so didn't he want any benefits?

In fact, Surdak is only a preliminary plan.

There was originally a dirt road in the riverside area of the town, as long as it was slightly smoothed and widened, some pebbles could be paved in the early stage.

It is not difficult to dismantle the shacks built by the aboriginal people along the river, the foundations of these houses have been leveled, and it is actually much easier to re-plan the land and bring in the grooved timber from the square sides of the lumber yard to build a riverside wooden house.

Many of the upfront processes are done directly in the lumber yard, and building a wooden house is actually more like building large building blocks with wedges.

In fact, some other buildings have been added to this map of the parchment town of Surdak.

For example, Selena wanted to build a temple of darkness on the edge of a town adjacent to the Aboriginal settlement......

Well, if this were to be said in normal times, Surdak would definitely drag it out, and it was not difficult to build a wooden church, but it involved some religious issues for the townspeople.

Many immigrants from the empire believed in the Lady of Liberty, and although the Lady of Liberty has now abandoned everyone, the habits of so many years are not so easy to change, and when they encounter certain things, they are still used to saying the last verbal sentence: Oh, the Lady of Liberty is on the .......

It would be difficult not to attract the attention of this group of imperial immigrants by building a temple of darkness in the town of Dodan, and once they knew that it was a temple of darkness, a pagan hat was indispensable.

Although the high priests and priests in the Statue of Liberty Temple have been withdrawn one after another, there are still many people who are willing to be dogs for the Statue of Liberty.

Selena mastered an extremely delicate timing last night, so ...... Surdak could only bite the bullet and agree.

In order to avoid verbal attacks and rumors from believers who believe in the goddess of liberty, Surdak chose to build the Temple of Darkness on the edge of a square between the aboriginal settlement and the imperial settlement area, and the temple is open in both directions, with the east gate open to the aborigines and the west gate open to the imperial settlers.

This temple will not be openly called the Temple of the Goddess of Darkness, but will be openly stated to be the Temple of the Two Goddesses, which is dedicated to the goddess of the night and the goddess of the dawn.

The two temples are not connected.

The immigrants of the empire faced the goddess of the dawn on one side, and the natives faced the goddess of the night on the other, so that the two sides could be separated......

It's just that the budget for building such a twin temple may be a bit high, and Surdak feels that at this time, it is necessary to meet with the nobles of the town.
