A strange world

Chapter 1084 Section 6. The young man of Ruikaner

Liberty City left Sunset Plains, but the shadow never dissipated, always hanging over the nobles' heads.

In this era, the control of the country has always been by the royal power commanding the nobles, and the nobles controlling the common people.

Vitalig was envious of the free city that had so many fingers at his fingertips. He felt that this was a good opportunity to bypass the nobles and firmly control the grassroots in the hands of the royal family.

However, due to lack of experience, the speed of order restoration was not ideal.

The nobles took refuge in danger and sold off their property. Xinwangdu is full of closed shops and has experienced Black Monday. The remaining six days are Black Tuesday, Black Wednesday... and Black Sunday.

Rebels and bandits appeared everywhere, and the kingdom's soldiers were exhausted to deal with them. This was the result of Annan leaving most of his things to him.

Because the king changed hands, the soldiers guarding the north began to disobey the orders of the new royal capital, and there was a vague risk of rebellion.

In the eyes of outsiders, the kingdom is in turmoil, and it seems that it has returned to that period in Liberty City. Vitalig sat firmly in the palace. As long as the three legends are still on their side, the kingdom will not fall apart.

"Do you hate Liberty City?"

On this day, Vitalig selected some officials to summon.

There are only a few people who say they don’t hate it, and most people respond with silence.

Knowing that this scene would happen, Vitalig opened a map of Allen's continent and asked them: "Who knows where Liberty City is?"

Officials look at me and I look at you. How do they know? Moreover, Liberty City is a floating city and can run around everywhere.

"You don't know, then why do we hate a country that we don't know where it is?" Vitalig spread his hands: "There are indeed some unpleasant things happening in Free City and the kingdom, but that is between him and Crowe thing."

"Annan and I are friends, and he helped me get the throne back, so I don't want you to have misunderstandings with Annan..."

"We will be loyal to His Majesty!"

"Very good, there are many vacant positions in the kingdom now..."

The lowered officers were breathing heavily as they realized what was coming next.

After the officials exited, Vitalig looked at the empty hall.

"Elwe, being a king is really hard..."

In the corner of the hall, the former legendary mage of the palace, Elway, who took over the position of chairman of the council, raised his head.

Vitalig smiled bitterly and said: "Free City did not wake them up, but made them more xenophobic. These people cannot be counted on... We have to re-cultivate a new group of people who have not been contaminated by the nobles."

“There are millions of young people in the kingdom, and it’s not too late.”

"Yeah, we're not that bad. It's better than Annan starting from scratch..."

Vitalig felt better thinking about it. Annan wanted to build a new house, and he only had to renovate the house that was riddled with holes...

Is it really less effort to simply renovate than to rebuild...?

Vitalig turned into a tinker, filling the holes made by Crowe and Annan, easing the situation with the north, and also scheming with the nobles...

When the guards ran in in panic and reported that the floating city appeared again in the Sunset Plain, the anxious Vitalig finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He personally left the palace and stood outside the city gate to greet Annan.

When the officials saw Annan, they were even more respectful than when they saw themselves as the king.

"Where is Mr. Kyle?" Vitalig only saw Olmedo following Annan.

"I left after the war without looking back, as if I had made some kind of determination."

Annan had a good impression of Vitalig and traveled with him like a friend.

"Do me a favor?"

Vitalig told Annan about the northern rebels without any secret.

"How do you want me to help?"

"Just pass by there. They are afraid of you. If I issue a few more pardons, they should return to the kingdom's rule obediently."

It was just a matter of convenience, and Annan had no reason to refuse.

"I have another request." Vitalig said again.

"Don't be so open-minded, Vita. I'm helping you by helping me." Annan smiled friendly.

Vitalig's expression was much more relaxed, and he hid his gratitude: "I have always admired your business acumen, can you teach..."

"So that's it? It's very simple. If you want to open a tavern, put as much ice as you want, half a glass of wine with ice. If you open a restaurant, the chairs should be as uncomfortable as possible, and let the guests leave as soon as they finish. If Open a jewelry store...

"Uh, that's not it..." Vitalig said awkwardly: "I have trained a group of young people. They are the future of the kingdom. I want them to go to Free City to study."

Annan was a little embarrassed: "But we are just passing by and we will leave tomorrow."

"You can take them with you."

"good."

Annan declined Vitalig's request to stay, signed some trade matters, took a photo together, and returned to Liberty City with the young man Vitalig gave him, and continued to the north with the eagerness to return home.

…

The young man Vitalig found was energetic, energetic, and full of energy, without the stale stench of the nobility at all.

Annan admired them very much, not because these young people looked down at him with eyes full of reverence.

Annan handed them over to Ingrid and asked her to take this group of young people about her own age around the city.

"What about you?"

"My... secret!"

Ingrid knew that Annan would not do anything serious, but she still took the young people out.

Like a mole sniffing around in a cave, young people looked around curiously, such as the most numerous mansions.

Ingrid said: "This house has everything you need: the first floor is a shop, massage parlor, and tavern. The second floor and above are residences. Each floor has a public bathroom, toilet and kitchen for residents to use. Each room is no less than 15 square meters and has a window that can be leaned out. It can accommodate a family of three. And such a house only costs 3 silver coins a month.

They don't understand "square meters", but they know that this house is amazingly perfect... and there are dozens of similar houses.

"It's amazing..." Sigma, who has freckles all over his face, exclaimed.

They didn't go upstairs, but only walked around the shops on the first floor.

They were most interested in an "Annan Reeves peripheral store". The women pointed at the posters and other goods and screamed, while the men were shocked by the price.

"If you want to sell something at a price, you have to give it meaning. This is what Lord Annan said. "

Then they looked at public facilities such as parks, toilets, and drainage ditches. The new capital also has them, but they are definitely not as clean and beautiful.

"Is this toilet not in use? "Some people couldn't help asking questions, because it was so clean.

"Let the residents maintain public facilities consciously." Ingrid said: "Some basic services provided by the lord are like air. When they exist, you think they are natural, but when they are gone, you will find out how uncomfortable they are."

"Is this what Lord Annan said?"

"No, this is what Lord Olmedo said."

Ingrid pointed to the slogan "A small step forward, a big step towards civilization" at the door of the men's restroom.

"This is what Lord Annan said."
