Chapter 321 Million Repair Fee
After chatting with Cecily about how to open up the Tower of Time, the two left Nia's study together, Cecily still had a job at the Supply Department, and Xado needed to make a trip to Savile Town.
As for how to open the source, there was no result to be discussed, and Xia Duo asked Taling to leave a message for Alberk and left the Mage Tower.
There are three people that Nia can trust and rely on in the Tower of Time, but because of the problem of communication interference, Xia Duo actually only heard two people clearly, and he didn't know who the other one was.
Maybe it's the head of personnel, Depark, maybe it's some student of Lord Epps, or even some core member of the pretending to be a peripheral member.
Just like suspicion, trustworthiness is also a very delicate relationship, and Xia Duo can't be cranky, otherwise it will be possible for anyone.
And when he arrived in Savile Town, in the mayor's office of the town office, Xia Duo looked at the mayor of Saine in front of him, one of the four people whose message was credible and reliable.
After Abbeck ventilated in advance, and Chador's hand was Nia's scepter, Mayor Sean immediately summoned the military director of the Savile Territory, Koyan, and the commercial director, Darik, to come over.
Of the two, Shado is more familiar with Darik, he is the father of Eldridge and Adrian, and has also been a matchmaker for the three chambers of commerce of Hans, Shining Gold, and Slevin and Shado.
At present, the twenty or so slaves in Xia Duo's territory were collected from the interior by the Slevin Chamber of Commerce, and all three of them are currently serving Xia Duo.
Now that he sees Derrick again, Xia Duo is quite kind in his heart.
The other Keyan, tall and muscular, wore a suit of armor that was clearly magical, and had a one-handed sword hanging from his waist and a faint magical aura.
The whole gives people a very strong, very difficult to mess with.
Shador knew that his son, Mage Burt, was also a student of Lord Epps, but his achievements were not high, and he was only a beginner mage.
In the conference room on the public floor of the Tower of Time, Chadorau had only just met Bert.
"Lady Xiaduo!" Unlike in the past, Xia Duo needed to take the initiative to greet them and even salute, this time as soon as they came, they took the initiative to salute Xia Duo.
There is a saying on Earth that "once a son of heaven is a courtier", their authority is completely dependent on the Lord of Eps, not even the Savile Lord, and in essence they are just ordinary people with weak strength.
Today's Chado not only surpasses them in individual strength, but even in the Savile system on which they live, their status is higher than theirs.
In this way, it is not surprising that they take the initiative to salute.
Xia Duo sat on the top seat, and while flipping through the recent government affairs summary documents of the territory brought by the mayor of Sein, he listened to Daric and Coyarne report on the recent commercial activities and military trends of the territory.
When Xia Duo flipped through the whole summary paperwork, and they had just finished speaking, Xia Duo pushed the document on the table towards his body.
At this time, Xia Duo also had some understanding of the basic situation of the Savile Territory, of course, the real situation of a territory must be more than that, but he only needed to focus on the money bag and the barrel of the gun for the time being.
After pondering for a while, Xia Duo said slowly: "The affairs of the territory are as usual, and I will not interfere too much, but at the moment, because of the special situation of the Tower of Time, I think some policies of the territory need to be adjusted." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Mayor Sein, "It's no longer realistic to mobilize a lot of manpower and force to open up the Green Pearl Forest at the moment, I think we can turn the direction to open up a path to the Tower of Time." ”
Connecting the Tower of Time, in fact, is to connect the Saville Territory and the Great Xia Territory, although there are already waterways connected, but isn't it better to have multiple land routes?
The more roads, the more connections you can have, which can be regarded as some of Xia Duo's selfishness. However, connecting to the Tower of Time can also bring some psychological comfort to the locals of Savileland.
After all, a mage tower that can't be seen at all and doesn't know where to go, and a mage tower that you know is at the end of this road are obviously not the same concept.
However, there are also many problems with land routes, and it is difficult to open roads in the forest, both in terms of danger and in the opening and maintenance of roads.
Thinking of this, Xia Duo added, "This matter doesn't need to be done immediately, let's plan first!" I'll come and see it next time! ”
"As for the business side, there are a lot of adjustments that need to be made."
Speaking of which, Xia Duo looked at Daric again, although he had seen the world (Earth experience) in business, but when it came to the actual operation of the current world, and even the unspoken rules, he didn't know very well.
"Darek, I know that in the past, you were responsible for collecting the magic materials of the Tower of Time, but this time due to special circumstances, a large amount of materials is needed, and you still need to collect them."
As he spoke, Xia Duo handed over a stack of parchment, which was a list of materials that he had just discussed with Cecily and made according to the progress of the restoration of the Tower of Time.
In chronological order, how much material needs to be collected by when, it is very detailed.
Derik took the list and flipped through the first few pages, with a hint of comical feeling in his mind, could this be true?
At the end, the expression on Derik's face became more and more solemn, and the timeline on it was so detailed that it was almost taken according to the day.
Looking at the handwriting on it again, it seemed that it had not been long after it was written, and although Darik was a little incredulous, reason told him that it was true.
"Lord Shado, this-"
"The original reserve of the Tower of Time on top of this is what needs to be consumed in this restoration project, and if you want to restore it to the previous reserve state, you need to bother more!"
"How is this possible!"
As the head of commerce in Savile Territory, and the de facto treasurer, Derik knows all too well about the income in his realm.
First of all, the Tower of Time accounts for at least half of the output, in addition to various taxes and fees, the bulk of which are the transit fees of foreign chambers of commerce through Port Savile, commercial taxes, and so on.
In addition, there is a silver mine and an iron mine in the territory, but these are not direct gold coins, and they need to go through a certain period of time before they can be converted into gold coins.
As for the region's specialties, grain and olive oil, the former is counted as the output of the Tower of Time, while the latter is more used to maintain relations with the city of Connefera.
Many of the materials on this list, Dai Rik roughly estimated, are worth at least millions of gold coins, and some materials are not available as long as there are enough gold coins.
"Difficult! Difficult! Difficult! ”
Derik's expression was full of embarrassment, how could this kind of task be completed by him alone, "Lord Xiaduo, last year, Savile's net income was only a little more than 100,000 gold coins, and now there is a sudden shortage of millions of gold coins, this is really, really-"
The rest of the words, Derrick didn't say, but the expression on his face was already very obvious.
Of course, Chado knew that it was unrealistic to put Darik in charge of all the materials, but the pressure had to be enough, and he believed that people had potential, just a little bit of pressure.
Of course, no matter how much pressure you put on, you can't crush people all at once, "I don't need you to come up with millions of gold coins immediately, regardless of the difficulty of implementation, think of a few feasible plans, and I will come back in two days!" ”
After saying that, Xia Duo stood up and said to Mayor Sein, "There is still something to deal with over there in the Tower of Time, I will go back first, and I will come back in two days." Regarding the opening of the road and the collection of materials, Mayor Sean was also asked to keep an eye on them. ”
"Yes!"
