Unconsciously, Wood has lived in Pyroxene for a week.
During this week, he observed a lot, learned a lot about this small town called the "Northland Hope" by the Federation, and learned about its governance ideas and various related technologies. To understanding.
For the job of a spy, he did a great job.
But he didn't have any pride or gain, instead he was full of deep worries.
The reason why Pyroxene Town was able to develop from a dilapidated to abandoned border town into a paradise in less than three years?
In his opinion, Guan Jiàn is nothing more than two points.
The first is to increase revenue, and the second is to throttle.
Opening source means actively looking for sources of income for the town. The two most important sources of income here are the extraction of negative energy from the underground farm, and several medicinal grass fields outside the village. The former can produce medium and low-grade magic materials, and through techniques that he has not yet been able to touch, transform them into a variety of valuable resources, which are quite popular in the international magic materials market; the latter are important consumer goods for the people’s livelihood. Although the price is not expensive, the market demand for them is almost endless, and there is no worries about sales.
With these two incomes, we can support various policies in the town. For example, "beautify the living environment"-he never thought that a small town would take the environment so important. On the town’s bulletin board, there are scrolls drawn by powerful painters of the town’s scenes over the past few years, and the scrolls that have been strengthened with magic are unusual. You can flip through them and let people look back at the development history of the town.
From the picture scroll, when the mayor of Felix first arrived, the town of Pyroxene was actually broken to the extreme. The ground was full of pitted gravel, hungry and feces were everywhere, and it was frozen like a stone by the severe cold. The houses were dilapidated, as if they were about to collapse when blown by the wind.
But only three months later, when the spring came, the houses in the town had been repaired. Large and small wooden houses were like pieces of patched but intact clothes, and you could see the underside of the house. A little green smoke is coming out of the kang. It must be very warm if you want to live in it, not afraid of the cold at all.
By the fall of that year, the roads in the town had been repaired, and it was almost the same now. The foundation was a piece of gravel, but hòu poured the crushed stone powder into the gap between the gravel, and rammed it while watering it. Tighten up. In the end, the road surface is flat and comfortable even though it is slightly inferior to the complete stone.
Moreover, there are many more decorations and celebrations in the square in the center of the town, and a few villagers are happily arranging the celebration venue in newly made clothes.
In the spring of the following year, many houses in the town began to be renovated. Although the repaired old houses are still usable, some of them are either too long or the quality of their own is not good enough, so the villagers tore down the dilapidated houses, and the owners of the houses temporarily moved into the mayor’s office. In the picture, the people who have become strong and energetic work in an orderly manner without fear of the cold. At the door of the mayor’s office, an old man was watching the construction site slightly, while two women next to him were preparing meals in a large pot. The hot scene, even if it was only seen in the picture scroll, made Wood deeply moved.
The celebration in the autumn of the second year is quite grand. The picture scroll depicts the night scene. Although the sky is completely dark, the square in the center of the town is full of people celebrating. Several young spellcasters made the residents a little farther away, and then hòu cast spells towards the sky, acting as fireworks. The light of magic burst adorns the night sky. The bonfire reflected people's laughing faces, their faces were full of happiness and joy, full of expectations for the future.
Wood notes that the town on this picture already has a lot of green plants, and the work to expel negative energy erosion should have been completed during this time.
The last picture scroll was just completed not long ago. The town held a small ceremony to celebrate the birthdays of several old people. Those down and down old people who were supposed to look depressed and unlovable elsewhere, smiled so that the wrinkles on their faces seemed to be blooming. Around the square, on both sides of the road, there are many more trees. The emerald green leaves gleamed in the sun, almost like precious emeralds.
Next to this picture is another aerial view of the town. It can be seen that the town already has beautiful walls, vegetable fields, and medicine fields. Only the construction site that produces the essence of negative energy is blank. The artist is in it. Drew a smiling face in the position of "This is a secret" written on it.
Comparing these five pictures, Wood was very moved.
He could see that the income of this town is indeed not low. But more importantly, it is the mayor's willingness to spend money.
Are there few high-income areas? Not a lot at all. In the Federation alone, there are many towns with stable industries, and he bet that many of these towns are definitely not below the income of Pyroxene Town.
But those towns are completely incomparable with Pyroxene Town. The lords who rule the town and the powerful and powerful people who control various income items are all trying to make money, but they want them to pay to improve the conditions of the town. And people’s livelihood, then absolutely can’t. So although the income level may be of the same grade, the situation in the town is quite different.
And this is the second reason Wood concluded.
Throttling.
For a territory, no matter how high the income is, if it is completely raided by the ruler, but only a little bit of it leaks through the fingers, then the high income is meaningless.
The reason why the town of Pyroxene can develop is that the mayor Felix almost doesn't care about income, which is one of the problems.
This beautiful female mage used almost all of the town’s income and reinvested it in the town’s construction, while her own property-for example, the magic school xiào-used her own money entirely For the construction, no public funds of even a copper plate were used.
"Public money" is a word often mentioned by residents of Pyroxene Town when chatting in the tavern, and the source is the mayor himself. She has said more than once that she is the leader of the town, but not the owner. This town belongs to everyone.
Such words made Wood faintly familiar. He remembered it carefully for a long time, and finally remembered that it was the words that Master Lamperus, the founder of the Federation, once said.
"In the past years, I have seen so many cruel and impersonal rulers. As a mage, as a person who has witnessed history, I don’t think this approach is correct. So I To build a country where people rule by themselves and the rulers just watch. In this country, powerful spellcasters are the guardians of towns and villages, but they do not own the land and various industries on the land. We are not Lord."
"I think this approach is very good. The casters are busy researching. There will be no time to search for the wealth of the people or indulge their own desires. I believe that over time, this piece of land is located at the southernmost part of the mainland. The plateau will surely become a paradise that the people of the whole continent yearn for!"
Thousands of years have passed since then. However, the Federation has not been able to become a paradise for civilians, it has only become a sacred place for spellcasters.
Remembering the mood when I read that passage in the book, and comparing what I saw during this period of time, Wood, who was able to sleep and wake up, had insomnia.
He thought for a long time, but felt that he had got nothing.
He knew that the federal situation was not right, and he also knew that Pyroxene Town’s approach was correct, but—whether rational or straightforward, he told him that Pyroxene Town’s approach could not be popularized.
The senior leaders of the Federation are indeed knowledgeable. They noted the situation in Pyroxene Town and sent him, the ace spy, to find out the details here. In order to bring help to the governance of the Federation and promote the progress of the Federation.
But... can the experience here really help the Federation?
He was very skeptical.
In order to conceal his identity, he did not hesitate to let the summoned witch almost completely **** up her strength that is close to that of a high-level ranger, and become an ordinary person who can only be called a vigorous man. In order to deceive the detection spells, a high-ranking mage in the Federation who has found the way to legend came forward and presided over a whole set of plans to hide from the sky and ensure that every word he said was the "truth".
All of this has paid a huge price.
But, can it really be rewarded?
He is worried.
With all these doubts and worries, he could not sleep until he was at work the next day, he had dark circles under his eyes.
"You have to be careful!" In the carpenter's workshop, the old foreman in charge of supervision and management looked at his tired model and asked worriedly, "Are you feeling well? If you are not feeling well, see a doctor. Go for a magical tour. Learn xiào, there are doctors who know herbal medicine over there, or go to the temple..."
Wood shook his head and said he was okay.
"It's okay! Look at you, your eyes are a little wandering!" The old foreman patted his shoulder dissatisfiedly. As a result, his hand slipped slightly, and the sharp carpenter tools were on. He rubbed his leg, and suddenly a wound was drawn, blood flowing.
The old foreman was startled, and immediately rushed to the large cabinet at the entrance of the workshop, took out a wooden box with a red cross painted on a white background, and opened the wooden box. There are several commonly used medicines in it. It has been concocted. Packs are wrapped in oil paper of different colors, and there are clean bandages. The usefulness is clear at a glance.
The old foreman apparently received special training, and the actions of dressing and bandaging him were extremely swift. The woodworkers also stopped their work and came to help. After the initial treatment of his wound was completed, everyone moved to the stretcher next to the cabinet and forced him to lie down, but hòu carried him to the temple in a hurry.
The priest of the temple asked about the situation, but hòu first gave him medicines that can heal the body and replenish the loss of flesh and blood, and then opened the wound. After careful inspection, it was confirmed that there were no wood chips and iron filings, so he washed it with holy water Wound, and then cast a low-level healing spell for him, so that the wound healed slightly, no longer bleeding like that. Finally, he was re-applied with medicine and bandaged up so that he could cultivate well.
"Can't it be completely cured?" Wood asked wonderingly.
"The general healing spells are actually overdrawing your vitality~ IndoMTL.com~ I won't use it at advanced level." The priest smiled and said, "The treatment to this level is enough, and the rest can be recovered slowly by yourself. ."
"But this affects my work..."
When this was said, the pastor and the workers laughed.
"Don't worry! You are a work-related injury. Not only are all medical expenses borne by the town, but the salary is still paid until the injury recovers."
After that, everyone put him back on the stretcher and carried him back home.
In the temple, the priest smiled slightly and started to clean up the blood.
He cleaned up the blood-stained bandages and discarded medicines, and washed the ground with clean water. After doing everything, he wanted to rest, but suddenly he was stunned.
(No! Why is the carpenter’s wound...healing much slower than the average person? How can the effect of healing spells on him be so bad?) (To be continued.)
