Chapter 97
Forget it, the townspeople are also kind, Robb waved his hand and said, “Get up, it’s not your fault, in fact, I agree with your firm anti-counterfeiting approach, and will continue to do so in the future. Keep it up, once you suspect that someone is impersonating me, you must bravely rush to fight, and you can’t let the younger generation pretend to be me to cheat food and drink.”
“Praise Father!” The townspeople finished their salute, Each went to do their own thing.
Lillian continued to push Robb around the town, but every few steps, someone would jump out to make a fake. After going around the town for a while, Robb couldn’t count himself being attacked. How many times, I couldn’t help but look up to the sky and heave a deep sigh: “Should the security of this Westwind Town be taken care of?”
Lillian said: “It doesn’t seem necessary, the master doesn’t go out. The law and order was still very good.”
Robb: “…”
Just as the two of them said this, they heard a townsman yelled: “Where did you come from? Impostors, children, bite him!”
A townsman rushed over with a flock of geese!
Robb saw this gesture: Damn! Even animals are used?
Wait, goose?
He glanced at the wheelchair he was sitting in, as if he had the feeling of Zhuge Liang, and then glanced at the flock of geese rushing over, he couldn’t help being overjoyed, hahaha, well done.
Ten minutes later, several plucked geese stood pitifully beside them.
Robb held a freshly made goose feather fan in his hand, while pretending to fan the wind, he said with a smile: “hahahaha, hahahaha, Lillian, push the Prime Minister to go home.”
“Master, what do you mean by prime minister?”
“It means I am handsome.”
“Oh, I see, the master looks like a real prime minister.”
“Why does this sentence sound weird?”
After a round of laughter, Lillian pushed Robb back to the church, and as soon as he sat down in the church, he heard There was a cheer from the site next door where the dark church was being built.
Robb turned his head to see that it was the townspeople who were helping to build the church. They seemed very happy, jumping up and down and throwing their hats in the sky. The appearance of money.
Robb couldn’t help but greeted: “Hey, why are you having fun?”
The townspeople turned around and said with a smile: “Father, Necromancer give us The money is processed, and everyone sent ten more Silver Coins.”
“Huh?” Robb strangely said: “Where did he get the money?”
The one who escaped into Westwind Town Thirty-two people from the Dark Holy See are very poor. They managed to raise a lot of money to build a church by selling their horses. They can’t even make clothes for two little nuns. How could they be rich? Extra to the townspeople?
However, as soon as Robb asked the question, he understood.
The townspeople spread out, and there were two big beards in the middle. It was the Queen Your Majesty’s royal businessmen, gu gu and Jiji. These two guys wore black silk last time and the other Bai Si, with a huge shocking effect as soon as he appeared, blinded Robb’s eyes, so that he kept receiving them blindfolded.
But this time they came in November, the weather was cold, these two guys were impossible running around in stockings and shorts, they put on serious trousers, even if they were wearing stockings Robb can’t see it either, and can finally relax.
The two of them saw Robb and hurriedly saluted: “Mr. Robert, hello!”
Robb said with a smile: “Yo, did you give financial aid to No. 8?” (PS: The Necromancer stationed in Westwind Town is No. 8.)
The two said: “Yes, the Queen Your Majesty has known about the fact that No. 8 was chased into Westwind Town by the guerrillas a few days ago, especially We ordered us to bring a batch of substances to No. 8, so that he can carry forward the Dark Holy See in Westwind Town.”
Robb asked with interest: “The Queen knows that I will not allow No. 8 to leave the city. Is it going to happen?”
The two nodded: “I know!”
Robb: “Then she doesn’t plan to fish people out?”
The two businessmen said with a smile: “It is a great joy for us to be able to enter Westwind Town to spread the teachings of the God of Darkness. How can there be any reason to withdraw people? The townspeople of Westwind Town need to obtain the God of Darkness. Help, may the grace of the god of darkness spread over every inch of the world.”
Robb laughed, he thought that he had put a group of people from the dark church under house arrest, which would cause the queen to send someone to ask for it. I really wanted to ramble, but I didn’t expect that this queen was really a calm guy, and instead took the opportunity to let the Dark Holy See infiltrate Westwind Town, but this was exactly what Robb was looking forward to.
Westwind Town is after all in the sphere of influence of the Dark Holy See. If the Dark Holy See does not settle in, it will be difficult for the population to increase. If there is no population, there will be nothing.
Robb said with a smile: “The Queen Your Majesty is quite a visionary.”
The two businessmen said with a smile: “Of course! Imperial Family Orthodoxy, and Mondra’s crooked way of not knowing how to manage the country, can it be the same.”
Robb spread his hands: “Why do you always step on the other side after praising yourself?”
Chapter 138 National-level ways to make money
The two businessmen came to Robb’s stone table and sat down.
Just now, they both looked at the big water tower at Robb’s house.
Robb followed the eyes of the two of them and couldn’t help being happy: “What? Have you seen my tap water system?”
The two businessmen nodded: “The last time I came As a guest here, we experienced the comfortable feeling of ‘the faucet is turned on, and the water will come’. We experienced it again on the construction site there just now, and felt that this thing is really a great invention.”
It turns out that the dark church that is under construction has already taken a pipe from the mayor’s water tower, and it can use water at any time.
The mayor is also a thief and clever person. He charges ordinary townspeople at the price of “Twenty Copper Coins a month”, but for “large buildings” such as the Dark Church, the price is The price of “two gold coins a month” is charged. Of course, the reason is that there are many people living in the church, and there will be many people coming to use water in public places, so it is necessary to charge a little more.
After all the reasoning, Necromancer couldn’t talk about the mayor, and finally paid the money obediently.
This water pipe has been pulled over for several days, and the construction site really needs water. Many townspeople wash their hands and faces at the water pipe after finishing their work, which is very refreshing.
The two businessmen had endured the hardships of a long journey just now, and Necromancer let them wash their faces and wake up.
The two businessmen felt very cool after using it, and they came up with the idea naturally.
“Mr. Robert, can you teach us how to make this thing called ‘tap water’?” The two businessmen said respectfully: “If we go back and put this thing in the temporary palace of the Queen Your Majesty She will be very happy.”
Robb said with a smile: “It’s not just for the queen, right? You must have seen the mayor’s collection of money from the dark church, and sniffed from it. When the business opportunity comes, I want to build this thing in the lost city and the road of light, tsk tsk, with the population base of the lost city and the road of light, after the water plant is built, I can make a lot of money, when the time comes it will be Become one of the most important sources of military spending for Queen Your Majesty. I heard that Queen Your Majesty is implementing tax exemptions in many villages and towns, and tax exemptions will be exempted for two or three years. If she does not consider how to make money, You’re just killing yourself.”
The two businessmen looked embarrassed: “Sure enough, there is nothing to hide from Mr. Robert, you are right, Queen Your Majesty is not short of military spending for the time being. , but after two or three years of tax exemption, there will definitely be a shortage of military spending, but even so, we can’t stop promoting tax exemption, so…cough…cough…we need to find some national-level revenue-generating methods. “
Waterworks are without a doubt a national revenue-generating method!
This kind of thing can still be done by the mayor in a small village, but in a giant city like Bright Road with a population of hundreds of thousands, it is simply impossible to play without the state. Typically the money should be made by the state.
Robb said with a smile: “Okay, then let me help you with some ideas… First of all, I have to warn you that it is impossible to supply the entire road of light with a water tower, such a water tower With the current technology, it is impossible to implement. You need to divide the city first…”
Here, Robb turned the goose feather fan and drew a shua shua shua on the ground with the fan handle The city, and then drew a few horizontal and vertical lines to cut the city into several large pieces. Then draw a water tower logo in the center of these blocks, said with a smile: “First calculate how many people a water tower can supply drinking water, and then divide the city into many districts according to the population, and build a water tower in each district. .”
“Each water tower is set up with a separate team to manage.” Robb said with a smile: “All employees are divided into several categories, one is the management team, which is responsible for managing all the operation of the water tower. The second is the operation team, which is responsible for pumping water to fill the water tower. The third is the maintenance team, where the pipes are broken and the faucet is broken, they must immediately rush to repair. The fourth is the promotion team. The promotion team goes door-to-door to persuade everyone to install tap water Manage, haggle, charge, etc…”
After finishing speaking, Robb took the goose feather fan back and fanned himself slowly: “Do you understand?”
Two A businessman gave Robb a big gift on the spot: “Sir, what a genius! Listening to what you said, the vague concept in our minds suddenly became clear. You are truly an extraordinary genius and hero! We On behalf of Your Majesty, Queen, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to you. After returning, we will immediately start construction in the Bright Road and the Lost City, starting from the wealthy area and gradually spreading it to the whole city.”
“It’s easy to talk about it, and it’s good to win.” Robb said with a smile: “Since you have decided to build a water tower, then I have a small suggestion. You probably haven’t figured out how to build a water tower in the bright road. , water pipes, faucets? However, I have such talents in Westwind Town. The plasterers and blacksmiths here all know these skills. I suggest you send a big car and spend a lot of money in Westwind Town. Hire mud iron and blacksmith masters to instruct your craftsmen to make water towers, the remuneration can’t be lowered, and after the instructions, send a cart to bring them back.”
The two merchants said happily: “Mr. Robert even helped us figure out the talent issue. Thank you Mr. Robert for your kindness.”
