Surdak is very busy every day in Mukuso.

The new consul of Mukuso City has finally been officially announced, and as the Mukuso people expected, Commander Surdak has been officially appointed as the consul of Mukuso City and the speaker of the House of Representatives.

The citizens then discovered that the newly appointed Archon not only had the ability to drive away the army of Hell demons, but also had a clear and complete plan for the construction of the city, and his plan to expand the city was something that Lord McDonnell had not had the courage to do in recent decades.

Surdak single-handedly promoted the city's post-war urban rehabilitation and economic recovery, attracting a large number of merchants to the city due to the introduction of a one-year tax exemption policy.

Although there will be no tax revenue in Mukuso City during this year, Basil, the treasurer, is a little surprised to find one thing, although the current Mukuso City is very poor, the nobles living in Mukuso City are actually not poor.

When merchants poured into Mukuso, bringing to life a city that had been almost completely abandoned after the war, the aristocrats suddenly realized the potential for business and rushed to the town hall to buy street-level shops to sell to merchants desperately looking for a storefront.

Although the city's tax revenue was almost zero for three months, the treasury reserves of the Mucuso Finance Department were higher than ever by selling these local shops, and although these gold coins were still filled in the huge hole of the city's construction, as the city expanded, the new properties would bring more wealth to the city hall.

Surdak tapped on the table, intending to distract the treasurer of Basil.

Basil's financial officer hurriedly coughed a few times to hide his panic and embarrassment, and then quickly stood up and said to Surdak: "In the next half year, I will control the housing prices in the commercial street, then my subordinates will retire first!" ”

Surdak nodded.

As soon as the treasurer of Basil left the archon's office, Earl Ian, the Minister of Logistics, knocked on the door and walked in.

……

Since the last farce, the relationship between the two has almost dropped to a freezing point, and even if they usually meet in the city hall, they will twist each other's heads away.

Recently, the logistics department has been hollowed out a lot, because Basil Finance Officer directly allocated gold coins to the first construction engineering team, and a large number of materials were purchased by the first construction engineering team themselves, so that the logistics department seems to be suddenly hollowed out, and when the entire city hall is extremely busy, the logistics department is becoming more and more idle.

This kind of leisure gave the officials of the logistics department a sense of crisis.

So they began to complain secretly in private, and the Minister of Logistics, Earl Ian, had no choice but to bite the bullet and find Surdak here.

Surdak picked up the teacup and asked, "Count Ian, you said the logistics department wants to find something to do?" ”

Thea walked in from the outside and brought Earl Ian a cup of tea.

Earl Ian hurriedly thanked him.

Then he said to Surdak: "That's true, our logistics department also wants to share some of the burden for the archon. ”

"That's a good thing!" A faint smile appeared on Surdak's face.

Then he said, "Actually, even if you don't come, I'm just going to look for you." ”

"This time I am going to ask the logistics department to do a city hall material inventory in the near future, I would like to know what materials are actually piled up in the warehouse of the logistics department, I don't want those materials piled up in the warehouse to end up moldy and rotten, some materials should be taken out for use, they must be consumed, and some strategic reserve materials should also be counted out."

"At present, the Ganbu plane is forming a lord army, and those combat reserve materials may as well be taken out first, and then it will not be too late for us to replenish the inventory."

Count Ian didn't expect that the Archon Surdak wanted to thoroughly investigate the material management of the logistics department, in fact, this part of the accounts became very chaotic after the city of Mukuso was breached, and now he brought this up, at least he still had some time to prepare.

The Minister of Logistics, Earl Ian, immediately stood up and said to Surdak: "I'll take people to the remaining warehouses in various parts of the city to count the supplies. ”

Surdak nodded again and asked, "So...... Anything else? ”

"No, my subordinates say goodbye!"

Earl Ian immediately stood up and walked briskly out of Surdak's office.

……

Hamas was one of the late adopters of the Guards, but since the last time there was malfeasance in the Guard Battalion, he immediately decided to express his desire to Surdak, and now he is the best of all the people around Surdak who have taken refuge.

With the influx of outsiders in the city, the security in the city will only get worse and worse, but the fact that Chief Hamas has been able to maintain such stability in the city in a short period of time is almost inseparable from the fact that he has spent a lot of effort to reorganize the guard battalion......

This time, he came to Archon Surdak to report on the work of the guard battalion, and he also wanted to know where Surdak would focus next in Mukuso City.

Surdak sat in his chair, pinched the corners of his eyes, and then said to the head of Hamas:

"For foreign adventurers, merchants, laborers, commoners and nobles in the city, I need the guard battalion to establish a corresponding system in Mukuso City, so that they know what they can do and what they can't do, especially outsiders with a weak sense of law, and they must take the trouble to admonish, educate, and finally punish ......."

Coming out of Surdak's office, the Hamas chief finally let out a long breath, scratching his head with some worry.

As for the knights of the guard battalion under his command, how can the chief of Hamas not know their usual manners?

To implement according to Surdak's requirements, to put it simply: you don't have to grovel when you meet nobles, you can't be condescending when you meet commoners, and you have to treat outsiders equally, the question is how can this be done?

Those thoughts have been ingrained in the minds of the knights of the guard camp, and have become a habit of life, and some old ideas will not be easily changed.

The chief of Hamas touched his fleshy neck and wiped the fine sweat from his head with a handkerchief.

I thought to myself: Lord Archon is really a big problem for himself!

……

At Surdak's request, Baron Martino divided the expansion of the outer city of Mucuso into two parts: the urban infrastructure and the city wall area plan.

Citizens can buy land in the outer city and build houses or workshops according to their needs, but the architectural style must be uniform, and there are strict height restrictions.

Because Surdak plans to build an eight-story bell tower in each area, which can be regarded as a regional landmark, if other buildings exceed three stories high, residents who are too far away from the clock tower will have a limited line of sight and will not be able to grasp the accurate time.

Surdak also asked Baron Martino's Urban Construction Bureau to temporarily slow down the investment in the construction of the outer city wall, try to regionalize and stage this part of the city wall, and complete the resettlement of the citizens of the entire city of Mukuso before the harvest festival.

At the same time, it is necessary to complete the sewer works and the stone paving works in the streets and alleys as soon as possible.

As for the rebuilding of the completely collapsed houses, it is possible to move them to the back, but only if the ruins are removed as soon as possible, so that those areas can be restored to standard plots.

This time, Martino brought a model of the architecture of the Colosseum and the Opera House in the city of Mucuso.

For Baron Martino, these were his hobbies, but the opera house and gladiatorial arena he designed, like the War College in Dodan Town, were made of stone, which was much more expensive than a wooden defense.

Almost every building designed by Baron Martino would kill a huge gold-devouring beast, and even Surdak couldn't help but shake his head when he saw it, saying that the gold reserves of the town hall could not afford to build these large buildings at the moment.

"Didn't you say before that you were going to sell the rights to operate the opera house and the gladiatorial arena so that you could get the money for the construction!" Baron Martino said to Surdak.

Surdak waved his hand and said, "This matter needs to be handled by me personally, but I'm afraid I don't have time to do it in the near future, but there are some things that can be done in advance, such as cleaning up the ruins of the opera house and the gladiatorial arena!" ”

……

It wasn't until the fourth day that Surdak took the time to make a round trip to the Mukuso barracks.

The bearded Edgar was stationed in a military camp outside the city of Mukuso, training a regiment of hoplites for Surdak.

The recruits, all recruited from the Resistance Autonomous Prefecture, are now part of Surdak's Lord's Army, which is a 12,000-strong army.

Counting the last time Surdak formed a heavy infantry corps, Surdak has already transferred more than 40,000 young Resistance fighters from the Resistance Autonomous Prefecture.

For the Resistance Autonomous Region, it can be said that at least half of the young people have come out of the rainforest, and the Resistance Autonomous Region is facing not only a serious gender imbalance, but also a serious aging population, women having to raise children alone, support the elderly, and so on.

This is exactly what the Bena Provincial House of Representatives wants to see, and the continued transfer of young people from the Resistance Autonomous Prefecture can be regarded as the greatest reduction in the potential strength of the Resistance Army.

Standing on a high platform, Surdak shouted loudly at the crowded training ground:

"I know you're all young warriors coming out of the rainforest in the southeast of the plane."

"There was once a group of young warriors from the same place as you, who used their courage and blood to unfurl a banner to all the Dry Cloth planes."

"Let all the inhabitants of the Gampoo Plane be proud of them, but now I hope that you can be as brave as they are, and that all the inhabitants of the Gampoo Plane will be proud of you......"

Immediately afterward, the heavy Craftsman's Sword struck the tower shield with a neat and heavy striking sound......

Outside the camp, some people were drawn in.

……

The Ganbu Plane is a small habitable plane with a mild climate and fertile land, except in the northernmost Daisetsuzan Mountains, where there is no winter.

There are many rivers in the plane, and you can live a good life by opening up a piece of land at will.

At present, the residents of many small towns in the south have resumed normal production and life.

A large number of adventuring parties have entered the southern part of the Gampoo plane, and they have cleaned up the hellhounds around the town almost clean.

Only in the rainforests of Grove Ridge and the Resistance Autonomous Prefecture, and in the Honkai area south of Banske Town, there are remnants of Hellhounds in these inaccessible places, and Hellhounds come to the mountains of the Dry Cloth Plane and immediately stand at the top of the food chain.

They have no natural predators in the wild, and the only threat to them is the hunters of the adventure group and mercenary group.

The adventure group likes to hunt these hellhounds very much, and the materials on their bodies may not be so valuable, but the magic core they open is still very good, and this kind of second-level magic beast is not very threatening to the adventure group, and the probability of opening the magic core is very high.

One Magic Crystal can be exchanged for seven gold coins, which means that a party team can keep the party even if they can hunt a hellhound with a magic crystal in its head every week.

Adventure groups like to hunt in the southern part of the Gamp plane, as almost all the towns in the south are still inhabited compared to the inaccessible north, and these towns can provide the necessary supplies to the party.

As for the northern part of the Ganbu plane, all the towns have been completely swallowed up by the demon army, and there are abandoned villages and towns everywhere.

Since the territory is divided into fourteen parts, these villages and towns are the private property of the lords, and in the strict sense of the word, adventure groups are not allowed to enter the town to scavenge for waste, and various lords are also continuing to put garrisons and territory dwellers into their realms, and many lord armies do not welcome adventure groups.

So on the Ganbu plane, very few adventuring groups are willing to cross the northern pass of Mukuso.

The southern towns of the Dry Cloth Plane have begun to try to transport the output to Mukuso, and those that come through the portal are difficult to compete with the local supplies due to the cost of transportation.

Surdak found that the Dry Cloth Plane had begun to take on a new lease of life......

As 220,000 cattle and sheep arrived in Ruit, Samira, Gulitham, and Andrew came with the flock.

Neither Samira nor Andrew rode in a magical airship, but rode after the sheep all the way, meeting up with Gullitham halfway through.

The herd of cattle and sheep was arranged to enter Ruit City along the central avenue at midnight, but because Ruit City is a mountain city, 200,000 sheep could not pass through the portal in the middle of the night, and then the entire Ruit City caused serious traffic congestion.

Earl Ian, the Minister of Logistics, had a gloomy face, waiting at the portal of the central square of Mukuso City, looking at the central square crowded with countless sheep, his heart was inexplicably irritable, and now the officials of the entire logistics department have run out of the city hall, responsible for placing such a large number of cattle and sheep......

Seeing countless sheep pouring into the streets, the entire city of Mukuso was boiling.

Everyone was talking about how powerful the new consul was, and he actually bought so many cattle and sheep from other planes, which solved the embarrassment of the lack of beef and mutton meat in the dry cloth plane at one time.

Moreover, a large area of land in the northern part of the Ganbu plane is deserted, and these cattle and sheep can be herded on the pastures of the Sayroman Plateau.

Surdak intends to keep only a small part.

He was going to leave behind 30,000 sheep and 2,000 head of cattle, which would be distributed among the other lords who owned pastures.

Of course, this is not a gratuitous gift, and a commission is required.

Surdak also owns two pastures on the Sayroman Plateau, and it is impossible for the pastures to be abandoned to feed the rabbits until there are a sufficient number of horses.

The problem was that there were no rabbits in the pastures of the Sayroman Plateau, so Surdak decided to keep some cattle and sheep temporarily, and once the horses reached saturation in the pasture, these cattle and sheep would be slowly slaughtered as the horses increased.

Samira, Andrew, and Gulitham finally arrived in Mukuso by the end of August, the deadline for Surdak to rush to the battlefield.
