Create the Age of Magic

There are six towns around Antu City as acropolis, each of which is only a little smaller than Bigma City, and Antu City itself is much larger than twice the size of Bigma City. Taking away the jurisdiction of the six towns is equivalent to taking away more than half of Woods' power.

With the complete Antu City in his hands, he will have some confidence in running for the Grand Consul in the future, but if those six towns are taken away, he will be nothing more than an ordinary consul, and most of the officials are I don't want my power to be cut.

On the way, Woods couldn't wait to introduce the current Antu City to Horn: "Sir, the Spark Cup Competition was successfully held in Antu City a few months ago, and the scene was much more popular than last time. And this time we have absorbed more talents, and you will be satisfied with the harvest.”

Horn nodded. The Spark Cup competition is held every five years, and it has been more than five years since the last time. This time, the Spark Cup competition has attracted talents from the entire Land Abandoned by God, and the scene is very hot.

In fact, Roland, the king of the Kuin Kingdom, had imitated Starfire City to hold a similar competition, but the effect was not satisfactory, because people usually only recognize the first organizer of this thing, even the scene held by Roland It is much larger than that of Spark City, but the gold content is still not as high as that of Spark City.

Under the word-of-mouth ferment of the last Starfire City Competition, the quality and quantity of the contestants who came for the second time were better than the last time. It took more than a month for the competition to be successfully concluded. Unfortunately, Horn was preparing for the competition on the mountain Breakthrough into a seven-ring magician, so I didn't see this game with my own eyes.

"Although I didn't see that game, I have heard about the situation. You did a good job." Horn praised that this time the game is no longer a scene dominated by Starfire City, because many elites from Starfire City I have participated in the last time, and I will not participate this time. The talents of the entire God Abandoned Land exuded dazzling brilliance in that competition, and Starfire City also took the opportunity to gather a large number of talents.

Horn found that the five-year competition he originally thought was really a genius idea. Every five years, it can bring a lot of useful talents to Starfire City, making the foundation of the Magic Council stronger.

"I understand everything about the competition. Tell me something else. Let me see the results of your work. You hold the largest city in Xinghuo County in your hands. Your results should be better than others." Horn watched Looking at the bustling scene in Antu City, he said to Consul Woods.

"A lot of business in Xinghuo City has been successfully transferred to Antu City. All the procedures were prepared two months ago. Antu City is now equivalent to the trade center of the entire land abandoned by the gods. I think that you Will definitely be satisfied."

Woods took over a thick ledger from a recording officer beside him, which recorded the large and small transactions in Antu City in the past five years. He respectfully handed the ledger to Horn for his review.

It would take a few days to read so much content, so Horn didn’t bother to read it. He only looked at the content he summed up and nodded in satisfaction: “It looks pretty good, but in the future you need to regularly send the ledger to Go to Parliament and check to make sure nothing is missing."

Now most of the business in Xinghuo City has been transferred to Antu City. This was Horn's idea. It used to be that the site was not big, so it could only be developed on the one-third acre of Xinghuo City's land, but now there is enough space. Horn didn't want to put too many things in Starfire City.

It is better to develop Starfire City as a purely magical city. The remaining industries are enough for the residents of Starfire City to live well. As for the surplus, it is more reasonable to put it in Antu City.

In terms of doing business, Antu City is much more convenient than Xinghuo City, with convenient transportation, a good location, and a large area for development. Otherwise, it would not have become the wealthiest city nearby.

Moreover, a large number of outsiders can be accommodated here. Horn does not want his headquarters to have too many idlers, so all the industries that may attract too many outsiders are allocated. Generally speaking, Woods has done a good job in this regard. Horn felt satisfied.

"Sir, there are five organizations in the city that deserve your attention." After talking about the business, Woods began to introduce the organizations in the city.

"Which five organizations, please tell me about them." Woods spoke skillfully, which easily made Horn interested in it.

"The first one is the thieves' union. I heard that the relationship between the thieves' union and the council is very good, so I granted them a place and gave them some convenience in many places. They took tasks in Antu City and trained The new thieves have a good reputation and are very good for the city."

Hearing the thieves' union, Horn thought for a while, touched his chin, and said, "The thieves' union...they should pay no less tax, don't give them special treatment, and asked me to ask for it after paying the tuition for their trainers. The food expenses, and the price is not low, are all a bunch of liars, and they cannot be cheap."

After training Megan's group of thieves, at the time of the final statistics, the miscellaneous expenses were many times more expensive than the half a million gold coins at the beginning. Horn held a grudge.

When talking about the thieves' union, Sale's expression was a bit strange, because now the president of the Starfire County Thieves' Union is his wife, Megan the Thieves. Horn said that the Thieves' Union cannot be allowed to take advantage of it, just as if Sale could not be allowed to take advantage of it. .

After Woods wrote down Horne's instructions, he began to say the second one: "The second one is the Artisan Association, a mutual aid organization composed of the vast majority of artisans in Xinghuo County. I know that you value talents, so I will help them Many problems have been solved, and they are indeed very beneficial to the development of Antu City."

"Well, that's good. You can consider dividing them into a separate area and let them live nearby. This will help create a good atmosphere." Horn said casually after hearing this.

"Okay, Your Excellency Speaker, the next is the third scholar association, which is similar to the Craftsman Association. They are very supportive of Xinghuo County, and there are indeed many talents in it. In recent years, many newly elected officials are scholars. And they did a good job.”

"This..." Horn thought for a while, and this should be taken seriously, because this is equivalent to the reserve army of officials in Xinghuo County in the future. Scholars with good cultural literacy are indeed more suitable for officials than ordinary people.

"Be good to them, and you can treat them like craftsmen's associations, but I need you to pay attention, don't let them form cliques, I don't object to normal gatherings and exchanges, but I don't want all my future officials to be an organization people."
