After chatting with Cecily about how to open source for the Tower of Time, the two left Nia’s study together. Cecily still had a job at the material office, and Chateau also needed to go to Saville. town.
As for how to open source, there was no discussion about a result. Chateau asked Taring to leave a piece of information for Ebbock and left the Mage Tower.
Niya tells the tower of time when there are three trustworthy and reliable people, but because of the communication interference problem, Xia Duo actually only heard two people clearly, and there is another one who doesn't know who it is.
Maybe it's De Parker, the head of personnel, maybe a student of Lord Epps, or even a core member who pretends to be a peripheral member.
Just like suspicion, trustworthiness is also a very delicate relationship. Xia Duo can't think about it, otherwise it's possible to see anyone.
When I arrived in Savile Town, in the mayor's office of the town hall, Xia Duo looked at the mayor of Thain in front of him, one of the four people who Niya left a credible and reliable message.
Once Abbock was ventilated in advance, and Chardeau came over with Niya's scepter, Mayor Thanh immediately summoned Savile’s military chief Keyan and commercial chief Derrick to come over.
Of these two people, Chateau is more familiar with Derrick. He is the father of Edridge and Adrian. He has also bridged Chateau with the three chambers of commerce, Hans, Flash Gold, and Slavin.
The two dozen slaves in the Chateau Territory were collected from the mainland by the Slavin Chamber of Commerce, and these three chambers of commerce are currently serving Chateau.
Seeing Derrick again now, Xia Duo feels very kind.
And another Koyan, tall and strong, wearing a suit of armor that is obviously a magic item, with a one-handed sword hanging around his waist and shining with a faint magical aura.
The overall feeling is very strong and not easy to mess with.
Xia Duo knew that his son, Master Bert, was also a student of Lord Epps, but his achievements were not high, he was only a junior master.
In the meeting room on the public floor of the Tower of Time, Xia Duo had just seen Bert.
"Master Xia Duo!" Unlike in the past, Xia Duo needed to greet them, or even salute them, this time they took the initiative to salute Xia Duo when they came over.
There is a saying on the earth that "one dynasty son, one courtier", their authority is completely dependent on the lord Epps, not even the Savile, and in essence they are just ordinary people with weak power.
Today's Chateau surpasses them not only in individual strength, but even in the Savile system on which they depend for survival.
So, it is not surprising that they take the initiative to salute.
Xia Duo sat in the upper position, while reading through the recent administrative affairs summary documents of the territory brought by the mayor of Thane, while listening to Derrick and Keyaen reporting on the territory's recent commercial activities and military trends.
Waiting for Xia Duo to turn over the complete summary document, they just finished talking, Xia Duo pushed the document on the table outward.
By this time, Chateau also understood the basic situation of the Savile collar. Of course, the real situation of a territory must be more than that, but for the time being, he only needs to focus on the purse and the barrel of the gun.
After deliberation, Xia Duo slowly said: "The territorial affairs are business as usual, I will not interfere too much, but because of the special circumstances of the Tower of Time, I think some policies of the territory need to be adjusted."
As he said, he looked at Mayor Thayn, "It is no longer realistic to mobilize a lot of manpower and force to open up the Green Pearl Forest. I think we can change the direction to open a road to the Tower of Time."
Unicom Tower of Time is actually Unicom Savile and Daxia Ling. Although there are already waterways connected, wouldn’t it be better to have multiple land routes?
The more roads, the more talents for contact, which can be regarded as some selfishness of Xia Duo. However, connecting the Tower of Time can also bring some psychological comfort to the locals of Savile.
After all, a mage tower that you can't see or know where, and a mage tower that you know is at the end of the road, are obviously not the same concept.
However, there are also many problems with land routes. Opening a road in the forest is a difficult problem regardless of the dangers and the maintenance of the roads.
Thinking of this, Xia Duo added, "This matter doesn't need to be done right away, plan ahead! I'll come and see it next time!"
"As for business, there are many adjustments."
Speaking of this, Chateau looked at Derrick again. Although he had seen the world in business (earth experience), he didn't understand the actual operation and even the unspoken rules of the current world.
"Derrick, I know that you are responsible for collecting the magic materials of the Tower of Time. This time, because of special circumstances, a lot of materials are needed, and you still need to collect them."
Talking about Xia Duo handing over a stack of parchment. This is a list of materials that he and Cecily discussed just now and based on the repair progress of the Tower of Time.
is arranged according to time. Before when, how many materials need to be collected, very detailed.
Derrick took the list, only turned the first few pages, and there was a sense of comicality in his mind. Isn’t this true?
At the end, the expression on Derrick's face became more and more serious. The timetable above was too detailed, and it was almost taken according to the sky.
Looking at the above handwriting again, it seems that it hasn't been long since it was written. Although Derrick couldn't believe it, he rationally told him it was true.
"Master Chateau, this—"
"The addition of the original reserve of the Tower of Time above this is what the restoration project needs to consume in total. If you want to restore it to the previous reserve state, you will need to bother!"
"How can this be!"
As the business director of Savile, and the de facto financial director, Derrick knew nothing more about the income situation in the territory.
First of all, the output of the Tower of Time accounts for at least half of the output. In addition, there are various taxes and fees~EbookFREE.me~ The bulk of which is the transit fees and commercial taxes of foreign chambers of commerce through Saville Port.
In addition, there is a silver mine and an iron mine in the territory, but these are not direct gold coins. It takes a certain period of time before they can be converted into gold coins.
As for the special products of the territory-grain and olive oil, the former is counted as the output of the Tower of Time, while the latter is more used to maintain the relationship between the city of Conifer.
Many materials on this list, Derrick roughly estimated that they are worth millions of gold coins, and some materials can't be bought as long as there are enough gold coins.
"Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!"
Derrick’s expression was full of embarrassment. How could he be able to accomplish this kind of task by himself, "Master Xia Duo, the net income of Saville last year was only a little more than 100,000 gold coins. The gap of millions of gold coins, this is, it is—"
Derrick did not say the following words, but the expression on his face was already very obvious.
Of course, Chateau knew that it would be unrealistic to have Derrick in charge of all the materials, but the pressure must be adequate. He believes that people have potential, but a little pressure is needed.
Of course, no matter how much pressure you put on, you can’t overwhelm people all at once.
You don’t need to take out a million gold coins right away. Regardless of the difficulty of implementation, think of a few feasible solutions. I will come again in two days!
After speaking, Xia Duo stood up and said to Mayor Thane: "There is still something to be done on the Tower of Time. I will go back first, and I will come back in two days. About opening the road and collecting materials. It's something, please also Mayor Thayn stare at some."
"Yes!"
