Chapter 246 Management of Mengba collar
The mayor of Mengba is a middle-aged man who is nearly fifty years old (let's call him middle-aged). His hair is half white and he walks a little awkwardly. Richard guessed that he may have one foot. Been injured.The Sheriff and the militia captain are similar in age, both in their 50s and [-]s, but they walk very straight, with their hands clasped at all times, and their eyes are bright. The Sheriff wears a black robe, and the militia captain wears a black robe. Wearing a layer of gray robe, under the robe, there is also a chainmail.

After the introduction, Richard also knew the names of the three of them. The mayor's name was Clesin Cook, an honorary knight who retired from the battlefield, and his leg injury was left over from the battlefield; The sheriff's name is Pansy, and he, like the captain of the militia, Picole, is also a veteran. As for which country's army he retired from, it is unknown.

Richard didn't know how these three people got into their current official positions, but he didn't ask, because it was meaningless. He didn't waste time with these people, but directly dismissed the three people from their positions. Instead of letting these three people who don't know their skills continue to eat vegetarian meals, it's better to start over with a reliable person.

Regarding Richard's decision, the three of them did not dare to object, so they could only leave here in despair.Then, Richard sent someone to explain the situation here to Earl Maximilian, asking him to give some suitable candidates to assist in the governance of Mengba. Taking over the entire city, this is not the end, he also ordered to set up a reporting point in the square in front of the city lord's mansion, anyone can report to the government any unresolved public security cases, if it is confirmed that something happened, then You can get a bonus, but if it is slander, the whistleblower will be arrested and punished.

As soon as Richard's decree came out, the residents didn't believe him right away, but watched each other, fearing that Richard was here to fish and enforce the law. Then, the noble officer sent a team of soldiers to follow the informant to arrest the informant. Coincidentally, the other party just walked out of the target's house with stolen goods, and was directly arrested by the soldiers rushing over. Then, forcibly dragged back to the reporting point.

Everything that followed went so smoothly. After the facts of the crime were confirmed, the criminal was hanged on the spot on a temporary gallows, and a generous bonus was also sent to the first whistleblower.With the first person to eat crabs, more people followed suit. When they saw that they could really get the bonus, the citizens of Mengba City were overjoyed. The aristocratic officers rushed to report, and groups of soldiers, led by the informant, wandered around the city, arresting criminals one after another.

For a time, the whole city fell into madness.

Under the temptation of the bonus, not everyone can stay awake. Many citizens even violated the rules and slandered others for the bonus, but they were all exposed in the end. In the dungeon, anxiously awaiting the trial.

Looking at the reports submitted one after another, Richard couldn't help but sigh with emotion, what a bunch of poor and crazy poor.The allure of money was beyond his imagination.

While punishing the criminals, he also sent people to investigate various places in the territory, intending to obtain some new resources that could support the economic development of the Mengba Territory. Valuable resources, if you can’t do it, go hunting in the forest. There are all kinds of wild animals living in the dense forest. The animal skins on them are full of commercial value. They can be taken to the tanning workshop to make toughness or leather armor. The leather can also be made into a warm animal fur coat.

Under the restraint of the lord's ban, hunting hunters are basically invisible in the dense forest, so there are abundant wild animal resources, but if there is really no major discovery, Richard has no choice but to open the ban and let the citizens Into the hunt.

……

A few days later, the people sent by Maximilian arrived in Mumbai City. In addition to these people, they also followed two companies of spear militiamen. This was a decision Maximilian made without authorization. According to the leading officer, They will be the new city defense force of Mengba City.

Since Earl Maximilian is so caring, why does Richard refuse? He immediately formed the spear militias of these two companies into a new city defense army to replace the Janissaries ( People who dared to commit crimes were basically executed, and would anyone dare to repeat the same mistakes?).Then, he appointed the three upstarts as city magistrate, sheriff, and militia captain respectively, and delegated the management of the city affairs to the three. This is also Richard's advantage. High, so power should be delegated and professionals should be responsible.

I stayed in Mengba City for another two days. Two days later, all the people who were sent out to investigate returned. To Richard's disappointment, they failed to bring back satisfactory information. The stones produced by the mines near Mengba City are of better quality.

After hearing the news, before Richard could react, the upstart Gilbert, who was the mayor, immediately thought of a solution. Since the quality of the stones in Mengba collar is good after all, why not make a fuss about it? Woolen cloth?They can trade stones and sell better-quality Mengba stones to other counties to fill the financial vacancy in the territory.

Uh... To be honest, after hearing this proposal, Richard didn't think it was reliable, but things have reached this level, and he can only be a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and immediately agreed to Gilbert's proposal.

The effect will not be visible in a short period of time. Before that, the three new officials still have to concentrate on dealing with the political affairs that occurred in Mengba City.

The next day, Richard led the team to set off again. This time they will go south through the land of Luwen and enter the land of Sauron. After staying there for a few days, they will enter the land of Abadland—that is, Ravana The last stop of the kingdom, after the parade of the Abadran Territory, the team will return on the same route, go north from the Ravana Royal Family's direct territory and enter the Leon Territory, thus starting the parade of the Winster Kingdom.

After everything is over, I don't know how long it will take.Richard thought to himself.

Regardless of Richard's inner thoughts, on the day of July 1114, 7 in the continental calendar, the team entered the Sauron Territory. Since Charles, Earl of Sauron and Military Chief, was among the accompanying cabinet members, there was no lord It's time to take the initiative to welcome, and the team will go directly to Sorenborg for repairs.
