Banner of the Evil God

Letting Felix take charge of the construction of the "development zone" was Sui Xiong's decision after careful consideration.

The Church of Masked Void is currently said to be full of talents, but the direction of the talents is very extreme. There are many talents in the martial arts and petty official fields, but there are not many people who can truly stand alone.

Ordinarily, the person best suited to take charge of the job on her own is actually Miss "Pan Zhuo Geng" who is working as a teacher in the clergy school. However, he is a believer in the centaur god, and he is die-hard. Expecting her to help Sui Xiong build the development zone is tantamount to seeking fish from a tree.

Next is probably Qiao Xiu, after all, he was the tribe leader. But for some reason, he was really not suitable to be the chief officer and could only serve as an auxiliary officer.

So he took the next step, and after searching for a while, Sui Xiong finally found Felix, who was teaching students, hoping to pass on the strange battle mage profession of "Magic Gunner".

Felix did well in the World's Best Martial Arts Tournament, and since then he has become famous and has received many invitations. But she did not accept the invitations from those yarn teams or various organizations. Instead, she stayed at the Masked Void Playground and joined the mage group of the Masked Void Church.

In exchange, she used the power of the church to find a few children with both mage and ranger talents, and taught them the skills of the "magic gunner" profession, in order to fulfill the agreement made in her youth and pass on this profession.

Time flies so fast, a few years pass in the blink of an eye. The children grew into teenagers, and Felix himself grew a lot. Similar to people like Qiao Xiu, they all started to touch the legendary realm.

However, there is actually still a long distance between "touching the legendary realm" and "stepping into the legendary realm". As the heir to the bloodline of the legendary creature "Phoenix", Felix, who has awakened the power of the bloodline, can live for a long, long time, so she is not in a hurry. Determined to work hard and rely on the accumulation of time to slowly enter that realm.

In this case, she is relatively free now. In addition, she was a businessman, with a broad vision and a flexible mind. During this period, she also performed very well in the mage group. Finally, Sui Xiong made up his mind to let her be the mayor of Huishi Town and preside over the construction of the "development zone".

Felix is ​​not repelled by this job. On the contrary, she is also very curious and wants to know how His Majesty the Mask of the Void intends to revive a dilapidated town that is going into desolation and build it into a model of what he calls "social progress". . It would certainly be more interesting if you could add your own contribution to this career.

So after getting the invitation, she inquired in detail and happily accepted the job. After making a little preparation, he took the students out of the playground and braved the harsh cold of the northwest winter to arrive at Huishi Town.

Of course, Sui Xiong would not let her fight alone. It won't be long before people will arrive one after another to help. The reason why she was allowed to come first was because of her own request.

"Since I want to be the mayor and preside over the construction work of this town, then I should be the first to start work." Felix said at the time, "It's like fighting a war. A commander who rushes to the front is undoubtedly better than a small commander. The one in the back is more convincing to his subordinates.”

That's why she rushed here in a hurry, and rushed to seize power as soon as she arrived. She used "physical persuasion" that ordinary magicians would never use to seize the position of mayor of Huishi Town, and hurriedly built a magic school. , prepare for subsequent work.

A few hours later, at dusk, the students of Isuca Magic School came back under the leadership of their guide Haman. It can be seen that they are all a little sad and not in high spirits. The eyes of the emotional little girls are still a little red, obviously they have cried.

As soon as they saw the teacher, they all talked about their experiences during the trip. It can be roughly summed up in one sentence - the people here are poor and pitiful, and they need help.

When Ferrex checked their expenses, he saw, not surprisingly, a large expense related to food. After careful calculation, these little guys at least bought enough food to feed hundreds of people for a month. The price was quite high, and they were highly suspected of being taken advantage of.

Seeing the accounts, Felix frowned and looked at Haman.

As a strong person on the verge of becoming a legend, she would certainly not take this small amount of money lightly. But the students were taken for granted, which made her very unhappy. It's just that those teenagers lack social experience. Haman is obviously a local and doesn't look like a fool. Why can't he do this well?

When Haman saw her expression turned ugly after reading the bill, his heart suddenly thumped, and he whispered: "Master Magician, this food expenditure is a one-time expense. Those poor families will save food, plus they themselves I guess I can get through this winter with just a lot of work.”

Felix frowned and said, "Such a small amount of money is nothing, but why are these grains so expensive?"

Haman was stunned: "Expensive? This is a discount for bulk purchases..."

This time it was Felix's turn to be confused. She looked at the bill carefully and recalled it carefully, confirming that even the food prices at Mask of the Void Amusement Park were not so expensive. Moreover, the food at Mask of the Void Amusement Park is much higher-end than the one here, such as "coarsely ground Golden Vine Flour", which may be used in small amounts in some special meals, but is really not eaten by dogs in the amusement park.

Are food prices so high here? ! With everything in such a dilapidated state, why are prices so high? This is unreasonable!

The merchant's common sense was challenged, and Phaeux immediately became curious. So the next day, she arranged for the students to continue using the staff to build dormitories and prepare accommodation for the follow-up personnel, and she took Harman to visit the market.

To be honest, compared with the Void Mask Amusement Park, the "market" in Pyroxene Town is really shabby enough. Phaeux took less than ten minutes to go around it - there were only three stores in total, and the goods in the stores were so simple and shabby that there was really nothing worth seeing.

She was mainly concerned about the prices, and found that the prices here were indeed a bit strange. Things like metals and sundries are indeed cheap, but daily consumables such as food are quite expensive, especially food, the price is unexpectedly high.

She also talked to the owner of the store that sells food for a while. Probably because of the big deal that Harman brought yesterday, the owner was in a good mood and answered almost every question. When she asked about the price of grain, the boss said that the grain in the Ash Forest was expensive, especially in the past two years, there were fewer villages to open up, and the grain was basically transported from Rye Town and even the Void Face Amusement Park, so it was naturally more expensive.

"We must stabilize the grain price." After returning, she said to Sui Xiong, "The income of the people here is not high. If the grain price is so high, it will be difficult to retain staff, and there is no way to talk about the construction of the village."

Sui Xiong naturally had no objection to this. He originally only focused on the main direction, and completely let Felix take care of the details of the town construction. Since Felix felt that the grain price needed to be stabilized, then stabilize the grain price.

Felix was very active. After making a decision, she immediately started to build a teleportation array-according to the plan, it didn't need to be built so quickly, but plans can't keep up with changes.

It only took two days to build a simple teleportation array. As soon as the array was completed, Felix carefully checked the array and hurriedly teleported back to the Void Face Amusement Park, bought a large amount of food in one go, and then came to Pyroxite Town again.

She acted decisively and immediately rushed to the food store to discuss the purchase of the store with the boss.

The owner of the food store had no feelings for this dilapidated town, but he emphasized that if the store was sold in winter, the family would have nowhere to go.

So Felix had to first buy the entire store and all the goods at a price almost 20% higher than the market price, and then rent a nice house for the boss's family so that they could spend the winter safely and wait for the spring to come before considering doing something else.

After doing all this, she asked Harman to recruit staff, reorganize the store, and adjust the price of grain.

"Master Magician, won't you lose money if you sell grain so cheaply?" Harman was of course willing to change his career to become a grain store owner, but when he learned about Felix's "grain guide price", he couldn't help but be shocked and asked worriedly.

Felix frowned: "Don't mind this little thing, just do what I say. I can afford to lose this little money, even if I lose it for a hundred years, I don't care."

Since the employer said so, Harman certainly had no objection. He recruited a few honest people, renovated the grain store, and reopened it.

But at this time, the sign of the grain store had become "Pyroxite Town Grain Store".

Yes, at Sui Xiong's suggestion, Felix turned this grain store into the town's public property. The "public ownership" of another world was changed and moved here.

"As for the business of grain, the country should not make money from it." Sui Xiong said to her, "Food is the first necessity of the people. Food and agriculture are the foundation of a country's stability. Even if you have to lose money, as long as you don't lose too much and can make up for it from other aspects, it is not a problem."

Felix had never come across this view before thinking for a long time to understand Sui Xiong's thinking. Then she praised him highly, thinking that His Majesty the Void Mask had a far-sighted vision and profound wisdom, and he grasped the key to territory construction at once!

If a territory can maintain a stable food supply, then the entire territory will naturally be relatively stable. In this case, food should of course be monopolized by the territory, and private businesses should not be allowed to operate it at all!

Not only that, she also further expanded on Sui Xiong's point of view, believing that any industry closely related to the livelihood of the people should be monopolized by the territory. Only those businesses that do not have a close impact on people's lives can be opened to private businesses.

"Are you really a businessman?" Sui Xiong asked in surprise.

"Of course!"

"But why are you going against businessmen?"

"I am a lord now!" Felix said with a smile, "The principle of businessmen is to focus on their own interests first. Since my interest is to revive Pyroxene Town, why should I care about other businessmen?"
