Although Sun Chenghuan is very interested in continuing to study time magic, the problem he has to face now is obviously not just magic. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the morning, after playing a faceless show with the Duke of Vortagan in front of a group of nobles who "watched", in the afternoon, he was dragged by Joey to their small living room.

"This is what you communicated with Duke Vortagen remotely?"

Sun Chenghuan looked at the things that Joey handed over to him with a solemn face, and his expression was a little serious.

"Well, this is my mother's family heirloom magic weapon. Joey nodded, "It's something that has been handed down from the Virgin calendar......"

"It's actually saved to ...... now" Sun Chenghuan's expression was very complicated.

"Yes! it's rare!" Joey still looked serious, "This was originally not easy to show in my mother's family, but because of the changes in their generation's family, only the two sisters were left......"

"Don't tell me this kind of story. Sun Chenghuan hurriedly waved his hand, "I don't ask where it came from, just tell me how to use it." ”

"It's very simple, there's a button up there, you press it, and you're good to go. Joey nodded.

In fact, she didn't believe what she just said.

There are only two people left in the family?

One married Duke Vortagan of Astrana, and the other married the son of the Dean of the Third Academy of Merth?

Do you believe it?

Sun Chenghuan activated the communicator.

There was a burst of music.

Sun Chenghuan silently said in his heart that during the Holy Virgin calendar, because of the needs of the Holy Virgin Church, there would be a choir in the Holy Virgin Church in every big city, which sang the ode of the Holy Virgin Church during various ceremonies and sacrifices, and at that time, there was the so-called music.

But Penglai doesn't seem to care so much about music.

So much so that in the current college education, music classes are often not opened.

Because there are no teachers......

Because Sun Chenghuan is in the Second Academy, there are elective aristocratic etiquette courses, and there are dance classes in it.

Naturally, you will learn something music-related.

It's great music.

Sun Chenghuan silently made an evaluation in his heart.

After a while, the intercom finally worked.

"Is it Joey?"

The voice on the other end of the intercom sounded, it was a female voice.

"Auntie, it's me, can I let my uncle-in-law listen to it? He knows that something is going on this afternoon. Joey quickly picked up the conversation.

"Oh, good!"

End of conversation.

Sun Chenghuan's expression was very playful.

This thing is fun......

Soon.

"Joey!"

Duke Vortagen's voice rang out.

"Hello, Duke Vertagen. ”

Sun Chenghuan took over.

"Oh, Marquis Sun Chenghuan, I've been waiting for you for a while!"

"Hmm...... I'm sorry, but I was a little late at noon because my magic level advanced this morning. ”

Sun Chenghuan said casually seemingly unintentionally.

Be quiet.

Even Joey, who was sitting next to Sun Chenghuan, changed his face all of a sudden.

I looked at him very strangely.

"If you don't say it, I've forgotten that you're still a magician!" Duke Vortagen's voice was filled with emotion, "I heard that Reginald was planning to arrange for someone to assassinate you, and I know something about that person...... Well, you're a fifth-level magician now?"

"Hmm. ”

"How is your martial arts level?"

"This ......"

"I mean, if a warrior who is roughly like Eldraine assassinates you, will you be able to face his frontal attack?"

"Isn't it acting?"

"What if the fake show is actually done?"

"What do you mean?" Sun Chenghuan's brows immediately furrowed.

He could hear some voiceovers.

"I'm just telling you to be careful. I don't know if the nobles in Merce are all very honest and realistic, saying that one is one, and in Astrana, the nobles are one of the two people who can not be trusted. There was some teasing in Duke Vertagen's voice.

"Is the other kind of businessman?"

Sun Chenghuan smiled.

It's just that it's embarrassing to laugh.

His two best friends, one is a nobleman and the other is a businessman......

By the way, didn't Lear claim that he was coming to Astrana to see Jessica? Why hasn't there been any news for so long?

Just as Sun Chenghuan's thoughts began to diverge, Duke Fotagen began the main content of his call this afternoon.

Tell about his arrangements in Stormwind.

Although Sun Chenghuan was a little distracted, he still carefully memorized a lot of what Duke Fortagan said to him.

These are far more detailed than the things that Joey relays, for example, now.

At this time, Sun Chenghuan also really began to have some inner understanding of Stormwind City.

One count, three viscounts, ten barons.

That's the number of nobles under Stormwind now.

These nobles are at the heart of Stormwind's overall management, keeping the city running.

More than half of the city's tax revenue comes from shipping and distant-water fishing.

The whole city was also built on commerce.

In addition, another source of tax revenue for Stormwind is the several towns under Stormwind's jurisdiction.

Night Town, is also one of them.

There are four towns in total, and each town has a baron who serves as the mayor and is responsible for the management of the town's affairs.

In addition to taxes, these towns also provide food such as grain and meat to Stormwind, a city in the southeastern corner of the continent of Ace.

Together with the 700,000 inhabitants of Stormwind and the total of 1.4 million people living in the four towns and the countryside surrounding them, a total of 2.1 million people make up the administrative sense of Stormwind.

Of course, these are the "permanent residents" of Stormwind.

It is the population that has a residence in Stormwind and nearby towns and is registered.

In addition to this, there are many more people who enter the city in the morning and leave the city in the evening, or follow the large fishing ships or merchant ships of Stormwind City at sea all year round, and stay in the city for no more than a month a year.

Those people are far more than the 2,100,000 people who are registered.

Although administratively, the management of Stormwind City is not responsible for these people, because every time they enter Stormwind City, they need to pay entry fees ranging from one silver coin to ten silver coins, as the cost of Stormwind's public facilities to provide services to them, but these people provide immeasurable support for Stormwind City's commerce, from manpower to circulation.

As a result, according to Duke Fotagen, there are nearly 20 million people who need Sun Chenghuan to worry about every day......

This is the demographic infrastructure of a large city in the true sense of the word.

And 20 million people have fifteen real nobles, such a ratio gives the city of Stormwind a good reason to be the richest city in the entire Nioh rule.

By way of comparison, there are 42 million people in the so-called "Great Mineshir City" in Minahir and surrounding towns.

Here, there are more than 500 nobles, of which 300 have fiefdoms......

Next, the topic finally came to what Sun Chenghuan was most concerned about.

Chenghuan Sect, or rather, the number one family in Stormwind City, the Defiya family.

This is an ancient family that has existed since the time of the founding of Stormwind.

The so-called Defia family occupies half of Stormwind City, which is actually not too much of an exaggeration.

Of the 800,000 registered residents of Stormwind City, 400,000 have the surname Defiia......

However, from the perspective of the concept of Stormwind City with 20 million people, although this number is still very large, the proportion is not so exaggerated.

Moreover, under the management of Duke Fotagen for so many years, he also found that this family, like all big families, had a chronic disease.

Uneven distribution.

After these thousands of years of reproduction, although the family has been given a staggering population base, it has also given them a matching number of internal factions.

In total, it can be divided into as many as seventeen factions.

Similar to the presbyterian system handed down from Penglai Kingdom, the number of such factions naturally adopts the corresponding family council system.

In order to avoid a split in the family due to quarrels in the council, their ancestors made a family belief in their family called the Chenghuan Sect, which was unclear whether it was a religious sect or something.

Duke Vortagen has been in Stormwind City for so many years, and he hasn't figured out what this Chenghuan Sect is and what their beliefs are.

Not gods, not powers.

I can't say anything.

This is also the main reason why every Stormwind City City Lord feels that this Chenghuan Sect and the Difia family are very strange, but they have never been able to rectify it.

You can't say anything about what they did, except for burying their heads and having children.

And is having a baby bad for Stormwind?

Everyone in the Difia family was born to register with the administration of Stormwind City, and then pay taxes according to the regulations.

Population is wealth, this, but the most indisputable assertion of the Ace continent.

But such a huge group is right under their noses, even if they have no quarrel with the world and no ambitions, it still makes every city lord a little worried about them......

"The reason why I hit their family is because I feel that they are starting to reach out to the nobility. However, after killing a few of their family's slightly more ambitious family elders, they are now very obedient, so if you go to Stormwind City, as long as you live peacefully with their Great Elders, they shouldn't be in trouble with you. Of course, if you want to make your words absolutely count in Stormwind, you'll need to use a little bit of your brains with the Defia family. ”

These were the last words that Duke Vortagen said to Sun Chenghuan about Stormwind City.

"Then how did the personnel arrangements go there?"

"Count Natalia, I will soon apply to the Shadow King for her to enter Beijing, and she is also my main assistant. I didn't intend to lend you this guy. So, the location of the city guard there you need to arrange one person yourself. You don't need to move the other viscounts and barons, those are all people who have been sealed since the time of the first king, they are all people who only recognize the lord of the city, and they are all honest. And I didn't think about going back to Stormwind, they all knew that. So as long as you are the castle lord who is ordered by the Flower Shadow King to take over, they will all be loyal to you. Of course, if you're going to arrange for your squires to take over some positions, they won't say anything. ”

"I don't have that intention. Sun Chenghuan hurriedly explained with a smile, "I believe your words......"

"Well, it's better for the two of us to trust each other. After all, in the future, you will be in Stormwind City, located in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of the capital, you still need support......"

"Both Jessica and Sovan are still more reliable than His Excellency the Duke, right?"

"Really?"

There was a distinct smile in Duke Vortagen's voice.

Sun Chenghuan glanced at Joey.

No more sound.

Because Joey's expression is also a bit complicated.

Is it really credible?

Sun Chenghuan didn't know very well......

"If there's nothing to ask, so be it. I wish you all the best in your duties, Lord Marquis?"

"I wish you, Lord Duke, to assist His Excellency the Flower Shadow King in Minasil and become a generation of Ming Monarchs. ”
