Chapter 801: Expansion (I)
After years of exhibition, with the expansion of the territory and the prosperity of the economy, the town hall of Nick has become more and more perfect. On this day, Romond's carriage headed for the town hall. After a few years, a bustling city gradually took shape. The wide streets are lined with shops and crowds.
Luo Meng was in the carriage and looked around: "Hey, the mage union is moving very fast, and the chain stores of the mage's house have been opened." ”
The shops of the Mage's Guild, all called "Mage's House", are located on the main street of the square, and from the outside, you can see that the markings are the signs of the staff and scrolls.
However, Romon knew that in fact, he not only dealt in all kinds of magic scrolls and village materials, but also dealt in exquisite and beautiful ornaments and jewelry, which were often made of leftovers of magic materials, but they were very exquisite and gorgeous, which made many women fall in love with them. After the Lulun scholar became a lord, he returned to the miner, showed his skills, and ran the territory.
His grandson, Debiru, presided over the Mage Tower, and was successfully promoted to the sixth level mage a while ago, and officially entered the ranks of intermediate mages, with a golden line.
The low-level mages who followed him also had their own gains, and a small mage organization gradually formed.
The goods of the mage's house here are also convenient for them.
Across the street, a stone bridge spans the open river.
Across the water, it is an administrative district.
Romon's plan is like this, the noble district is the residence of the people with the title, the lowest is the knight, and the domain is also among them, which is in the core.
The administrative district is the residential area of the nobles and nobles, professionals, wealthy merchants, and officials above the rank of official in the territory, and the city hall is also among them.
These days, there have been a large number of residential plots for sale in the administrative district, and many houses have been built, all of which are uneven.
As for the business district, it is the commercial center.
There is still a dock area.
A sound of praise wafted in the wind, and Rosso glanced at it, which was a square building.
"Temple of the God of Order!" Romon narrowed his eyes slightly, narrowing his sharp gaze.
In his spiritual eyes, a huge and inviolable force swirled above the temple, and it should be thought that the god of order was the belief of many nobles and the protector of the regime, and it was normal to have it here. In the corner of the square, there are also bards, holding harps, playing a few epic songs" Romon shook his head and smiled.
The carriage arrived at the square of the town hall, in the middle of which was a fountain, and people gathered in the vicinity, either for a leisurely walk or in the shade of the trees, all dressed decently and in a relaxed manner, and the guards were always on patrol.
"Salute!" the carriage with the lord's badge passed by, and the doorman of the town hall immediately saluted.
As soon as the carriage stopped, an official stepped forward to greet him.
"Let's go to the Municipal Building!"
It is a five-storey building, built by Romon one-time instructions, which would not have needed to be so large, but now, with the expansion of the territory, especially the exhibition of the city itself, this shows the wisdom. Various departments have been established like bamboo shoots after a rain, and the establishment has been expanded. Even the cleaners have a small staff, managed by an officer, to ensure the cleanliness of the city. With that, Romon made his way through the noisy crowd towards the top of the staircase.
Nick is on the top floor, there is no elevator here, presumably going up and down every day is also a kind of exercise, Romon couldn't help but think.
When I arrived on the fifth floor, at this time, there were two people in the small living room outside, one was an old man and the other was a well-dressed gentleman, who were sitting quietly on the sand in the small living room.
Suddenly, the closed door opened, and Nick himself greeted him: "My lord, why are you here without informing me?" This obviously surprised the two of them, and immediately understood Rosso's identity.
This S1, when I got inside, the clerk immediately brought refreshments, and on the sand, the two superior people were leisurely drinking tea and talking. "Say, you're always on the door, what's the need for orders?" Nick said with a smile as the clerk stepped out. "There are two things. Rosso didn't mind Nick's somewhat relaxed attitude at all.
Romon is not a person who likes to pretend to be close to his subordinates, he is quite serious to most people, but he never does this to a limited number of friends.
Anyway, Nick is smart enough to never be unscrupulous because of this.
"The first is the second expansion of the city, which will be extended by another five kilometers outside the former city walls to form a new urban area to accommodate more citizens and workshops.
"According to the previous budget, this cost 100,000 gold coins. Nick immediately spoke the data.
"A hundred thousand is a hundred thousand, how is the trade situation now?" asked Romon.
"The merchant ships are decreasing, and now they are down by forty percent, but there are more ships related to the army, and the supply business is very busy, and it has not actually decreased much. Nick said.
"Well, even if you fight with the elves, you will have to fight for at least more than a year...... We can make a lot of money in this time. Luo Meng nodded and said: That's why I want to expand the city, many workshops, the city can no longer accommodate them. "Workers, there are still enough people in the territory, just raw materials, such as vegetables......" Nick said with a frown. "You can rest assured, ten vegetable bases have been built, all of which are greenhouses, enough to provide canned food, and there is no need to eliminate them in the future, and you can also make canned fruits and canned meat!"
Nick nodded: "Okay, then I'll give the order to officially start the second city expansion, and the other way around." ”
"There is one more thing, I want to officially restructure. ”
"What do you want?" Nick's eyes widened.
"It's nothing, it's just the official call of the city. ”
"Called the city?" Nick frowned, this is not a new creation by Rosso, there are also some commercial cities in this world, which are also called "cities".
"Well, it has been officially upgraded to a city, the official name of Yuanfan Port is Yuanfan City, you are the first mayor, and the departments under your direct jurisdiction in the future are the department. ”
"Do you want to learn from the royal capital?" asked Nick, who was the royal capital.
"Well, yes, these regularizations are better, and the officials have also made some adjustments to meet the needs of the city exhibition, and you can see the specifics. ”
"You, the mayor, not only manage the city, but also manage the territory, below the city is the feed, and below the town is the village. ”
"Got it, let's change the name, right?" said Nick with some disapproval, in his opinion, he was in charge of the entire internal affairs system in the first place, and this is a different name.
"The name is also important. Romon said with a smile, not saying much, as long as Nick did the same.
"The city is divided into districts, and each district is divided into streets, which are the same as those of the king, with the house number, and the district also has a steward, which is equivalent to feeding, and the street is equivalent to the village. ”
"It's going to take a lot of manpower. Nick reminded, "The expenses will increase a lot. "Of course, but there are considerable benefits to controlling the city...... Don't save this achievement, there are also a lot of dilapidated nobles in the city, you should be cautious about promoting and using it. "Understood, I'll do it. Nick said that his greatest advantage was that whatever Romon commanded, he would do without compromise. Romon nodded, he was very glad to have such a friend and subordinate. "By the way, is there anything else?" asked Romon casually.
"Princess Sinia borrowed 100,000 gold coins from the Temple of the Goddess of Commerce to buy a medium-sized stoneware processing workshop and a medium-sized canning vegetable processing workshop, which were managed by her attendants. "Let her go, what's the doubt?" "My lord, the royal family has some rights...... "There is no tax exemption, and everything is handled uniformly. Rosso waved his hand and said, "But other aspects can be tilted, such as orders and other material channels." "You now have to establish a sound internal affairs system, and you have to set up a special office to deal with taxes, and if there are people who resist taxes, you can directly use the city guards to deal with them." ”
"Believe me, now my position and power are sufficient to give me the privilege of doing business, and if in a few more years, even the king, if he wants to do business in my realm, must pay me taxes. "11-oo humility. Nick nodded, as Romon continued to advance, he had clearly felt that his orders were getting smoother and smoother, no matter how the businessmen in the background had expressed humility to him, and he had no suspicions. "By the way, I heard you gave birth to another daughter?" Rosso said inquiringly. "Yes, I was born the day before yesterday. ”
"Nick, you can really do this, three sons, one daughter, if you continue to grow, the family will grow. Romon laughed and said, "Fafer also gave birth to two sons and a daughter...... I will wrap a big red envelope for you, and when the time comes, I will see our mansion once. "No problem, it's so close, I'll come. "Nick said, now his residence is very close to the Lord's Mansion.
Romon chatted for a while and said goodbye, Nick delivered to the door, did not continue to send, and watched Romon go away. When Romon was gone, he returned to his office and rang the bell. "What do you command, my lord?" said a man in front of him. "Inform me that Mr. Convigo, Mr. Caliwe and Mr. Setassi will come and bring Drawing S6 from the Archives. Nick said. "Yes, my lord!" the order was conveyed at once. Nick picked up the document again and reviewed it, only to approve one, and there was a knock on the door.
Nick is very satisfied, because the city hall is centralized, so now it is much easier to find someone, in the past, it had to wait for half a day. "Sir, please be seated, you are all experts in architecture, if you follow drawing S6, do you have any specific plans?" Nick looked inquiringly.
He is now very familiar with these things. To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the chapter more, support the author, support genuine reading!1
