77 Urban Planning
Ankka arrived at the tent where the meeting was taking place, and found everyone sitting at the table very seriously.
"You don't have to be so serious."
"Anka-sama, this is our new plan, do you have any comments?"
Ankka took it upon to find that their new plan was to make it a fortress city with mostly stone buildings, and that there were plenty of shops and artisans, as well as reserved areas for adventurers' guilds.
"Why is this time so different from the last time?"
"We think that there are often powerful monsters and bandits roaming around here, and our defense is not exhaustive because of some things, so we thought we could hand over some of the defense to the adventurers, and because of the adventurers, there are more buyers for the equipment crafted by the craftsmen and the potions of the merchants."
With that, the paladin also brought the three people in and said, "Lord Anka, they are the representatives of the herdsmen, the merchants, and the craftsmen, and we have written their opinions in the attachment. ”
After listening to this, Ankka opened the drawing and found that the back three pages were full of dense conditions, Ankka rubbed his eyes and handed the drawing back and said, "Can you read it to me?" ”
After listening to it, Anka found that the three representatives seemed to be unable to achieve unity for many reasons, the biggest problem was that the merchant representative wanted the Chamber of Commerce to settle here, and the herdsman representative wanted the church to settle in, but the artisan representative did not want either, and the craftsman representative wanted his craftsman brother to accept the commission without any restraint as before.
After settling the delegates, Anka and the paladins returned to the second floor for a meeting.
Ankh asked, "Do you guys have any good ideas?" ”
The paladin asked rhetorically, "Can't you plan out a few areas for them?" ”
Ankh replied, "Think about it." ”
The paladin added: "The administrator appointed by the Holy Maiden will arrive soon, so it is better to let them take care of this matter then!" ”
Ankha stopped, "Isn't that a bit bad?" ”
Anka then thought for a moment and returned to the first floor with the paladin to find that by the time they left, the three delegates had already fought, and the merchant representative had even been beaten under the table by the other two who were stronger.
After the paladin pulled them away, Ankka cleared her throat and said, "Please calm down, I've thought of a solution." ”
When the delegates heard this, they all returned to their seats and looked at Anka.
Ankka looked at them and smiled as she handed over her plan, which they all couldn't accept when they saw it.
The merchant representative said, "I don't agree with Lord Anka's tax system, so it's unfair to us, why should merchants who land in the guild have to levy additional taxes?" ”
Ankha retorted: "I heard that you merchants will deceive the city's administrators by logging in to the Chamber of Commerce to have the Chamber of Commerce forge your bankruptcy certificate to avoid their own obligation to pay taxes to the administrators, I don't know if what I said is true?" And you're going to get up and bully other small businessmen who don't have a group, aren't you? ”
The herdsman stood up and said, "First of all, I thank you for allowing our church to enter the city, but why do you ask us to truthfully report the number of cattle and sheep raised by each herdman?" ”
Ankha responded, "I respect the state religion of Santa Seca, but I've heard that you would bribe church members to falsely state the number of their cattle and sheep so that they could get more grass and rent it out. ”
"I can still reluctantly accept this, but if you allow us to choose freely, we still don't want to be bound by a new institution," said the craftsman. ”
Anka saw that everyone was not very satisfied, got up and said, "I have another plan. ”
After saying that, he handed over the new plan.
After seeing this, everyone nodded reluctantly and said together: "It's more acceptable than just now." ”
"The new plan is to require the church and the chamber of commerce to set up in each other's areas so that you can monitor each other for violations, and the delegates must hand over all the information about their cattle and sheep and the flow of money, as well as who the craftsmen have equipped for, to the new management center."
Seeing that they did not disagree, Ankha continued: "If there is a gold bank built in the management center, you can enjoy a nine-percent discount tax system. ”
The artisan and herdsman representatives agreed.
The merchant representative asked, "What about the Chamber of Commerce?" ”
"The Chamber of Commerce can still save money and do all sorts of things I don't know about, but if that's the case, you won't have that benefit."
"Acceptable."
Ankha said: "This is the last one, that is, you each supervise each other, if there is a violation, do not report truthful information and tax evasion, then the management center will send personnel to investigate the reported person for up to a month, during the investigation period the reported person is not in possession of a work permit, if it is true, the reported person needs to pay three times the amount of tax missing, and also have to pay the whistleblower an additional amount of money to double the amount of tax." ”
The merchant representative said dissatisfiedly: "Is it targeting us?" ”
Ankh waved his hand and said, "I didn't mean that! You see, the other two delegates are very happy, and if you don't like it, I won't force it to stay. ”
The merchant's face was full of sweat, but when he thought about it, now that the entire Sanseka including the Holy Maiden was taking the lead in trying to find a way to ban the Chamber of Commerce, it was not easy to get a stable legal area of the city, and there was no way, and the merchant representative could only bow his head and say: "I lost my temper just now, I agree with this." ”
Ankh patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be so depressed, the management center will also introduce some policies that are beneficial to all parties in the future." ”
"It's getting late, so let's rest here! Ask the paladins to prepare the room! ”
The delegates rested in the management center until the next day, after which the delegates signed the contract for the planning of the city in front of all the residents who had rushed to the high platform of the management center to watch the bustle, and the managers sent by the Holy Maiden, who arrived at midnight.
Anka then approached Sodeis and said, "It's time for us to hit the road, and we'll leave it to the new managers." ”
"Well, I can't wait to return to my homeland, but with your help, I will definitely be able to drive away those greedy wolves."
After that, the paladin approached Ankka and said, "Lord Anka, we are ready, a total of three hundred members of the Wrath of the Holy Maiden and seven hundred Cades slaves. ”
Although Sodeith heard that his fellow citizens were still called slaves, the joy of seeing the liberation of his homeland allowed him to ignore what they said.
After that, Ankka suddenly thought of something, looked at the cloak made of monster slime on his body and asked, "Do you all know magic?" ”
The paladins nodded in response.
"Attack me!"
"What do you mean?"
"I want to try this equipment to see if it has magic resistance, please attack me!"
"It's rude."
