1208. Midsummer
Surdak stood on the podium.
He wanted to go down, but after being interrupted like this, he felt that he should say a few more words to the citizens of Mukuso in the audience.
He looked at the fat businessman from afar, who was a little red-faced, and waited for everyone's laughter to gradually cease before he said:
"In the northern town of the Ganbu plane, I heard that there are places rich in gold mines, and there is a plateau further north, where green scale horses, cattle and sheep will soon be sold, and I heard that there are some demon hunters who have gone deep into the snowy mountains and collected some precious magical herbs, I think these are the precious resources of the Ganbu plane."
"The dry cloth plane is about to start recovering taxes, and I know that this will affect the income of many of the people present."
"But this is another thing that cannot be left unchecked, and the post-war recovery of Mukuso requires a lot of continuous investment, which is basically raised through taxes, and the operation of the entire city also requires a huge amount of money."
"In the past year, I believe that everyone has a clear understanding of the trade in Mukuso City."
"Later, the city hall will also implement some new measures for urban development."
"Since we are talking about urban development, I have to talk about some of the problems that hinder urban development."
"In order to occupy the Ganbu plane, the magicians of the Black Magic Hermitage Society did not hesitate to open the demon gate at a huge cost and lure the Hell Demon Clan here, causing the entire Ganbu plane to experience a catastrophe, some people's relatives died in this disaster, and some people's homes were razed to ruins in this catastrophe."
"So, Mucuso City Hall will be offering a bounty for any information about the Dark Arts Retreat."
"As long as the information is verified to be true and we do not know, the whistleblower will receive a bounty."
"The Dark Magic Retreats and Dark Mages are not welcome in the Gampoo Plane, whether you are law-abiding or not, please leave here as soon as possible before we find out, or I won't mind nailing you to the stake."
"In the next three months, the Mukuso City Guard Battalion will conduct a thorough investigation of the remnants of the Dark Arts Hermitage in the city."
After Surdak finished speaking, the whole square whispered.
Everyone began to discuss whether there were dark magicians around them......
Surdak raised his hand, motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then began to speak:
"I see that there are still a lot of adventure group members at the scene, so I take this opportunity to officially inform you that the Ganbu Plane welcomes the legal demon hunting of the adventure group, but it is forbidden to hunt slaves, and once I find out, I will punish you for not being able to do without the Ganbu Plane for the rest of your life."
The square was filled with silence.
Although there has always been a ban on slave hunting in Mukuso, few big names have publicly spoken out against it.
The adventuring group had to consider how much truth and showmanship Surdak's words had......
But then when they heard that the slave markets in Ruyt had been scavenged, it was clear that Surdak had made up his mind on the matter.
With that, Surdak stepped down from the podium and boarded the magic caravan.
Guarded by a group of Guards Battalion Knights, the magic caravan quickly passed through the portal and returned to the city of Ruyt.
……
The restaurateurs who failed to grab the restaurant in the restaurant plaza have a faint regret, and the merchants also feel that the place is worth the investment, and the citizens of the whole city of Ruit are talking about it.
When people's eyes are focused on the steel mill area, the land price here begins to increase rapidly.
In addition, the land price in the area around the restaurant plaza is also increasing steadily, and those areas that are not worth mentioning in the eyes of people now have a basic price.
The houses in the slums around the steel mills were also the target of merchants for a while.
And the Ruit City Finance Department got the deposit for the lease of the storefront, and finally made up the salary that the public officials of the city hall needed to pay next month.
The first resettlement houses on the slave market side were already roughly outlined in just one week under the rapid construction of the first construction engineering team in Mukuso.
The biggest advantage of these townhouses is that the two residents share a load-bearing wall, which means that a quarter of the wall building material is saved for each house.
This architectural style of small buildings appeared in Ruite City, these citizens are also the first time to see, everyone thinks that the townhouse design is very distinct, the most exciting place for the poor people, is that there is finally no need for several families to squeeze together in a house, everyone has a separate house type, and because this kind of townhouse is basically two floors with an attic, in fact, there are three floors of usable area.
Even if it is the smallest house, such a household covers an area of no more than 25 square meters, this kind of house is basically three meters wide, six meters long, one floor living room and kitchen, two bedrooms on the second floor, three floors of attic and terrace, a family of three lives in such a house, it is obviously very spacious, and there is a six-square-meter courtyard in front of each small building.
The first model room appeared in people's sight in only ten days, and it was built at the entrance of the slave market, where tables and chairs, kitchen supplies, beds, etc. were placed, and a warm and simple small home appeared in front of the poor.
Finally, some people began to exclaim: the original home can still be arranged like this......
It doesn't cost much, but it looks very warm.
Thanks to the joint efforts of Luke and Charley, the construction process of this townhouse has been optimized and improved several times, and the construction speed has been reduced to almost a month.
The poor people who lived in the little dark houses of the Colosseum finally began to think about how to decorate their new homes.
On the other side, Charlie led a construction team of more than 200 people to be stationed at the restaurant square, and the progress of the project here is also progressing very quickly.
Treasurer Kurt. Lattie was surprised to find that in addition to the sum of money that the city hall had taken out when demolishing the steel mill, almost all the expenses were first advanced by the construction team, and then the money would be returned to the first construction team of Mukuso in installments from the rent of the store.
Some time ago, the treasury of the Ministry of Finance was completely emptied, and almost all of it was invested in the slave market resettlement housing project.
As the value of the land around the restaurant square continued to rise, as soon as the land was sold, it would immediately make a double profit, but Surdak was in no hurry to sell the land, and he divided the surrounding land into several areas, and the merchants wanted to buy it, so they had to build some buildings according to the requirements of the city hall.
At the beginning, Kurt. Ratti didn't think that with Ruyt's poor financial situation, Surdak could do anything decent about the city.
However, the prototype of the restaurant square has been formed, and even a trend has been formed, making businessmen feel that as long as they can get a store in the restaurant square, they will definitely make money......
Moreover, the city hall also has a large amount of land in its hands, which is a series of dazzling operations. Latte is a little confused.
He couldn't figure it out, obviously there was still not much money in the treasury of the Finance Department, and he still had to repay the project money of the first construction engineering team in Mukusuo in installments, how could he still have the feeling that the city hall had made a lot of money this time?
……
Lake. Count Cushing has had a headache lately, and many nobles have come to him, and these people have basically come to ask him to intercede in front of the Suldaq Archon, and everyone wants a piece of the pie in the dining square.
In fact, when the steel mill had just been demolished, this group of people had watched the show from the sidelines.
It is also said that although the Archon Surdak is good at fighting, he is a dirt bun who ran from the countryside, and he has to transport it to another territory of his own across the plane when he sees this pile of scrap iron.
How about now...... The land in the steel mill has now been turned into a treasure, and has become a sweet spot that many people can't get in their eyes.
In the study, the black tea brought by the maid had lost its temperature.
The Earl of Botkamp frowned thickly, with an impatient look on his face. Count Cushing exclaimed:
"Old Lake, just say something happily, do you want to help or not?"
Lake. Count Cushing frowned, thinking of Count Botkamp's support for him at the beginning, and countless times under pressure from all sides, he led the members of the House of Representatives to support him.
How can I refuse such a 'little thing' now.
"I'll go and talk to Archon Surdak about this!" Lake. Count Cushing paused and asked, "How much is that land worth in the market right now?" ”
"Now one square meter has risen to about one gold coin! If half a month ago, a gold coin could buy ten square meters. Count Botkamp sighed and said, "The nephew of the family voluntarily renounced the inheritance, but he wants to build a hotel next to the steelworks. ”
"So, the land you circled costs more than 1,000 gold?" Lake. Count Cushing's eyes widened.
"There is no swordsman among the juniors, so I plan to sell a set of primary magic pattern constructs, and I guess I will buy such a piece of land......"
When the old Earl of Botkamp said this, he was a little melancholy.
"I know, I guess there will be some restrictions, but I'll do my best!" Lake. Count Cushing replied in the affirmative.
The old Count of Botkamp went away satisfied.
Lake. Count Cushing sighed softly, once no one in the family fought on the battlefield, no matter how deep the background was, it would be slowly drained by several generations.
He glanced at the piles of letterhead on his desk, and then said to the butler, "Prepare the magic caravan, I want to go back to the town of Solusi......"
Speaking of this, he paused, immediately changed his attention, and said:
"No, you go buy a ticket for the nearest flight out of Ruit, I'm going to see my daughter in Bena, and I'm going to write a letter to Duck before I leave......"
Count Leke Cushing sat in his study, the sun shining outside the window and the courtyard full of greenery.
It's midsummer, and it's a good time for everything to grow wildly.
