Chapter 811: Expansion (Part 1)

After years of development, with the expansion of territory and economic prosperity, Nick's town hall has become more and more perfect.

On that day, Romon's carriage headed towards the town hall.

In just a few years, a prosperous city has gradually taken shape.

On the wide streets, there are many shops and people rushing.

Romon was in the carriage and looked around: "Hey, the mage union is moving very quickly, and the chain store of the mage house has been opened."

The shops of the Mage Union are all called "Mage House". They are located on Plaza Street. From outside, you can see that the mark is a mark of a staff and a scroll.

However, Romon knew that in fact, he not only operated various magic scrolls and materials, but also operated exquisite and beautiful jewelry and jewelry. These magical jewelry are often made of scraps of magic materials, but they are very exquisite and gorgeous, which makes many women fall in love with them.

After becoming a lord, scholar Lulun returned to the fief, showed his own abilities and managed the territory.

His grandson Debiru presided over the mage tower. He was successfully promoted to level six mage a while ago, officially entering the ranks of intermediate mages, with a golden line.

The low-level mages who followed him also gained something, and a small mage organization gradually formed.

The goods from the Mage House here also make them convenient.

Crossing the street, a stone bridge lies across the opened river.

Between water and water, it is the administrative region.

Romon's plan was like this. The aristocratic district was the residence of people with titles, the lowest was the knights, and the territory was also in it, at the core.

The administrative district is a residential area for entourages, destitute nobles, professionals, wealthy businessmen, and officials above the territory, and the city hall is also among them.

Over the past few days, large areas of residential land have been sold in the administrative district, and many residential buildings have been built, with all the veils of uneven eaves.

As for the commercial area, it is the commercial center.

There is still a dock area now.

A sound of praise drifted in the wind, and Romon glanced at it and it was a square building.

"The Temple of the God of Order!" Romon narrowed his eyes slightly and restrained his sharp eyes.

In his spiritual eyes, a huge and inviolable force circling above the temple. It is also appropriate to think about it. The God of Order is the belief of many nobles and the protector of the regime. It is normal to have it here.

In the corner of the square, there are bards holding harp and playing several epics.

Romon shook his head and smiled.

The carriage arrived at the square of the city hall, with a fountain in the middle of the square. People gathered in groups of three or three nearby, either taking leisurely walks or chatting in the shade of trees. They were all dressed in decent clothes and leisurely attitudes, and the guards patroled all the time.

"Salute!" The carriage with the lord's badge passed by, and the guard of the city hall immediately saluted.

As soon as the carriage stopped, an official stepped forward to greet him respectfully.

"Go to the municipal building!"

This is a five-story building, and Romon's one-time instruction was established. It was not necessary to be so big, but now, with the expansion of the territory, especially the development of the city itself, this shows wisdom.

Various departments were established like bamboo shoots after the rain, and the organization was constantly expanding.

Even the cleaners have a small staffing, managed by a clerk, ensuring the cleanup of the city.

As he said that, Romon walked through the noisy crowd and headed towards the stairs.

Nick is on the top floor, there is no elevator here, so it is probably a kind of exercise every day, and Romon couldn't help but think.

When we arrived at the fifth floor, there were two people in the small living room outside, one was an old man and the other was a decently dressed gentleman sitting quietly on the sofa in the small living room.

Suddenly, the closed door opened and Nick personally greeted him: "Sir, why are you here? Don't you notify me?"

This obviously surprised both of them very much and immediately understood Romon's identity.

At this moment, when I got inside, the *** clerk immediately gave me some refreshments. On the sofa, the two superiors were drinking tea leisurely and talking.

"Tell me, you always come to the door without any trouble. If you have anything to do, do you have to give me instructions?" Nick said with a smile when the *** clerk stepped out.

"There are two things." Romon didn't mind Nick's relaxed attitude at all.

Romon did not like to pretend to be close to his servants. For most people, he was still quite serious, but he never did this for his limited friends.

Anyway, Nick is smart enough to never be unscrupulous.

"The first thing is the second expansion of the city, and the construction has officially started. Five kilometers will be expanded outside the previous city wall to form a new urban area to accommodate more citizens and workshops."

"According to the previous budget, this will cost 100,000 gold coins." Nick immediately said the data.

"One hundred thousand is one hundred thousand. How is the trade situation now?" Romon asked.

"Merchant ships are decreasing, and now they have decreased by 40%. However, the number of ships related to the army has increased, and the supply business is very busy, and it has not actually decreased much." Nick said.

"Well, even if we fight with the elves, we will have to fight for at least one year... We can make a lot of money during this period." Romon nodded and said, "That's why I want to expand the city, and there are many workshops that the city can no longer accommodate."

"Workers, there are enough manpower in the territory, just raw materials, such as vegetables..." Nick said with a frown.

"Don't worry, you have built ten vegetable bases, all of which are greenhouses, enough for canned food, and there is no need to be eliminated in the future. You can also make canned fruits and canned meat!"

Nick nodded: "Okay, then I will issue an order to officially start the second urban expansion, anyway, there are plans."

"There is one more thing, I want to formally restructure it."

"What do you want?" Nick opened his eyes wide.

"Nothing, it's just a formal city."

"Cast?" Nick frowned. This was not something that Romon created. Some commercial cities in the world are also called "cities".

"Yeah, it has been officially upgraded to a city. The official name of Yuanfan Port is Yuanfan City. You are the first mayor. In the future, each department you directly under the jurisdiction will be the bureau."

"Learn from the King's Capital?" Nick asked. This was done by the King's Capital.

"Well, yes, these regularizations are better, and officials have also made some adjustments to meet the needs of urban development. You can do the specifics."

"You mayor not only manages the city, but also manages the territory. There are towns under the city and villages under the town."

"If you understand, just change the name, right?" Nick said disapprovingly. In his opinion, he was originally managing the entire internal affairs system, so this is a different name.

"The name is also very important." Romon said with a smile, without saying much, as long as Nick did the same.

"The city is divided into districts, and the streets are divided below each district. It is the same as the king capital. It uses the house number and the district also has a manager, which is equivalent to a town and a street is equivalent to a village."

"This will increase a lot of manpower." Nick reminded: "The expenses will increase a lot."

"Of course, but it also has considerable benefits for controlling the city... Don't save this little money. There are also many ruined nobles in the city. You can promote and use it with caution."

"I understand, I will do it." Nick said. His biggest advantage was that he would complete it without any discount on what Romon ordered.

Romon nodded, he was very glad to have such a friend and subordinate.

"By the way, is there anything else?" Romon asked casually.

"Princess Qianniya borrowed 10,000 gold coins from the Temple of the Business Goddess, purchased a medium-sized stoneware workshop and a medium-sized canned vegetable workshop. These two workshops were managed by the servants she led."

"Let her go, what's the question?"

"Sir, royal members have some rights...as regarding taxation?"

"There is no right to exempt tax, all of them will be handled uniformly." Romon waved his hand and said, "But other aspects can be tilted, such as orders and other material channels."

"You need to establish a complete internal system now, and a special agency for taxation should be set up to deal with it. If someone resists taxes, you can directly use the city guards to deal with it."

"Believe me, my status and strength are now enough to give me this privilege. If there are a few more years, even the king must pay taxes to me if he wants to do business in my territory."

Nick nodded, and as Romon continued to move forward, he had clearly felt the difference.

His orders were getting smoother and smoother, and no matter how the businessman with the backstage was, he was humbled.

He had no doubt about Romon's words.

"By the way, I heard you gave birth to another daughter?" Romon asked.

"Yes, I was born the day before yesterday."

"Nick, you are really good at this point. Three sons and one daughter. If you give birth to another, the family will grow stronger." Romon said with a laugh: "Fafell also gave birth to two sons and one daughter... I will give you a big red envelope and come to our mansion once at that time."

"No problem, I will come so close." Nick said, now his residence is very close to the Lord's Mansion.

Romon chatted for a while and said goodbye. Nick sent it to the door, but did not continue to send it. He watched Romon go away.

When Romon left, he returned to the office and pulled the bell.

"Sir, what are your instructions?" someone stepped forward and said.

"I would like to inform Mr. Convigo, Mr. Gariu, and Mr. Sethasi to bring Drawing No. 56 of the Archives," Nick said.

"Yes, sir!" The order was conveyed immediately.

Nick picked up the documents and reviewed them again, and knocked on the door outside.

Nick was very satisfied. Since the city hall was centralized to handle the matter, it was much more convenient to find someone now. In the past, I had to wait for half a day.

"Sir, please sit down. You are all architectural experts. If you expand according to drawing No. 56, do you have any specific plans?" Nick asked.

He is now very familiar with these things.
