Once, I Wanted To Be a Good Person

  Chapter 285 202. Select the affiliated city of the Si family!

The responsibility of the executive councilor was to handle various affairs in the state on his behalf when the parliament was not in session, so after bringing Fang Ze to his office, the executive councilor signaled Fang Ze to sit down with ease, and then took out the The map of West Dazhou was handed over to Fang Ze for Fang Ze to choose.

  Fang Ze took the map of West Dazhou, glanced at it, and then recalled the information of West Dazhou. Xida State is located in the southwest of the Eastern Jurisdiction, bordering on three states, namely Yunlan State, Tuoye State and Luoxing State.

  The three prefectures are in the shape of an angle, wrapping Xida state in it, Luoxing state is on top, Yunlan state and Tuoye state are below, and they border each other.

  So. Fang Ze looked down, and soon fell on the target he had set before: the high-level city next to Yunlan Prefecture and Putuo Prefecture: Congyun City.

  Looked carefully, and after confirming that he was not mistaken, Fang Ze pointed to the executive councilor from Yuncheng and said, "My lord, I want to choose this city."

  When Fang Ze looked down just now, the executive member roughly guessed Fang Ze's thoughts. And now seeing that Fang Ze really chose Sky Cloud City, he couldn't help but slightly nodded, and commented, "From Cloud City is indeed a very good choice."

   "Because it is close to Tuoye Prefecture and Yunlan Prefecture, and has a certain scale of border trade from Yuncheng, the economy also ranks 15th in the entire Xida Prefecture, and its annual fiscal revenue can reach more than 16 billion yuan."

   "Although there are a lot of financial expenditures, the remaining income is enough to support the rapid development of your family."

   "Moreover, because it is close to the border, a large number of awakened people from the three states gather here, and the folk customs are sturdy, which is very suitable for selecting and training private troops."

   Speaking of this, he glanced at Fang Ze again, and said with emotion, "You are really a bargain."

  Hearing what the executive member said, Fang Ze smiled and understood what he meant: the fiefdoms of the other 101 noble families in the federation were all chosen when the federation was first established.

   At that time, a lot of waste was waiting to be done, the structure of the states was not stable, and the future development and positioning of each city was not determined, so the cities chosen by most nobles were very ordinary.

In addition, after the city belongs to them, the Federation no longer allocates funds and governance, so in the past fifty years, the development of the affiliated cities of various nobles has been even worse. A net income of more than one billion yuan is already considered good, and some are even worse. Not only can they not make money, but they have to invest money in urban construction, which is really extremely sad.

   But Fang Ze is different from them. After fifty years of development, West Dazhou has reached its heyday, and the development and potential of each city has almost been fixed. Fang Ze is completely equivalent to taking an open-book exam: not only saves time and investment in development, but also directly chooses tax revenue. high city. That's why the executive councilor expressed his emotion.

   But after expressing his emotions, the executive councilor also said, "I will help you record it now, but whether you can choose this city or not depends on the approval of the state assembly and the federal government."

   "This situation is too special after all, there may be some additional conditions."

  Fang Ze had already guessed this possibility, so he nodded without much surprise.

   Immediately afterwards, the executive member began to search for relevant documents and information. Disadvantages: The relevant procedures of the aristocratic territories have been going back decades, so he also searched for a very long time to find all the basic documents.

   After showing it to Fang Ze to check one by one, after signing, this high-level city will temporarily become a candidate for the affiliated city of the Si family.

   Whether it can succeed or not depends on the opinions of the follow-up parliament and the Federation.

  Even if it is passed, it doesn't mean that Fang Ze will be able to get the city right away, and the Federation will have to make corresponding arrangements for that city at that time.

  High-end cities are better, the change is not great, but the tax object has changed from the federal to the family, so there may not be many residents who need to be resettled.

   But the low-level cities under its jurisdiction, especially the city Fang Ze chose as his residence, are hard to say. Once selected as a residence by the nobles, that city already belongs to the private property of the nobles, and the power of life and death of the residents inside is completely in the hands of the nobles, so many residents will choose to leave early. At this time, the alliance needs to make corresponding arrangements.

   In fact, even after finishing the final resettlement, Fang Ze didn't feel that he would be able to sit back and relax, just like the means by which the Federation has weakened various families in the past few decades. Even if Fang Ze chooses a high-level city with good fiscal revenue, it is also the result of federal management and support.

   Now that it is in Fang Ze's hands, the Federation will definitely take back all kinds of support and preferential policies. At that time, the development of that city is not necessarily what it will be.

  However, Fang Ze chose this city not just for taxation and business potential. Fang Ze chose this city because of its geographical location.

  Since Yuncheng is close to Yunlan State, it will provide great convenience for Fang Ze to infiltrate into Yunlan State and borrow Sima Liu's power in the next step.

   Moreover, since Yuncheng is located at the junction of the three states, it is also convenient for Fang Ze to hide his forces: Xida state encircled and suppressed the Devil Sect, then he ran to Yunlan state, and Yunlan state encircled and suppressed him to Tuoye state.

  The process of cross-state operations is not so convenient to pass, so the security of the Devil's Church can be greatly enhanced.

  All of these reasons are superimposed, which is the reason why Fang Ze finally settled on this city.

  While thinking this way, Fang Ze also signed all the documents and procedures, and then he handed the documents to the executive member, said goodbye politely, and left the office.

After Fang Ze left, the executive member looked down at the map and pondered for a while, then he took out a map of the Eastern Jurisdiction from the cabinet again, found the high-level city Congyun City on the map, and Fang Ze chose a resident city called Sanzhou and drew a circle.

  After drawing the circle, the executive councilor carefully looked at the map again. After finding nothing wrong, he picked up the phone on the table and called his assistant.

  After the assistant came to the office, the executive member rolled up the map and handed it to him, and then ordered, "Send this to the speaker."

  The assistant took the map respectfully, and replied, "Yes, my lord."

  Ten minutes later, a small farmyard on the outskirts of the state capital.

  He Weidao handed the map to Jingtai, and then said, "Let's have a look. This is the affiliated city and resident city Fang Ze chose."

  Jingtai took the map, looked at it seriously, and then recalled the information on Congyuncheng, and then said slowly, "Congyuncheng is indeed a very good choice. Fang Ze has a good eye."

  He Weidao nodded, and then he commented with his hands behind his back, "It is indeed very discerning. Although Yuncheng can develop from the state's policy support, it is more due to its unique geographical location."

   "So, even if you withdraw the state's support and support the neighboring city, it will not completely reduce the potential of the city."

   "However... here is not without disadvantages."

   "First of all, because Yuncheng is close to the three states, fugitives and desperadoes from the three states also gathered. Those desperadoes don't care what your identity is, as long as you annoy them, they dare to kill and abscond directly."

   "Because of the difficulty of cross-state operations, once they escape, it is often difficult to hunt them down."

"Secondly, because there are too many desperadoes, the folk customs of Congyun City are relatively strong, and the style of martial arts is prevalent. This leads to a higher proportion of martial arts and awakened people in Congyun City's jurisdiction, which is very difficult to manage. "

   "The last thing is... there is still a secret realm of laws."

   "Besides, that secret realm of law is not as peaceful as the secret realm of Huachao Festival"

  After hearing He Weidao's evaluation, Jingtai quickly sent a rainbow fart, "The teacher really cares about the people's livelihood of the whole West Dazhou, and knows every city so well. It really makes the students feel ashamed."

  After boasting about what is Tao, he asked again, "The teacher means to agree with Fang Ze's application?"

  He Weidao glanced at him indifferently, and then asked, "Do you have any ideas?"

  Jingtai pondered for a moment, and then said, "I think it's okay to agree, but... the tax from Yuncheng is too high, can you put some additional conditions on Fang Ze?"

   "For example, it is required that out of the 16 billion fiscal revenue, the amount used for urban construction should not be less than 10 billion."

   "Or require him to use financial revenue for urban construction and people's livelihood, not to be lower than the average value of cities in West Dakota."

   "Alternatively, he is required to pay 50%, 30%, and 10% of the fiscal revenue in the first five years, which can be regarded as financial balance."

  He Weidao laughed "haha" when he heard Jingtai's words, then waved his hand and said, "Forget it. The city is all given to him, so there is no need to do these little tricks."

   "That's his city. If he dares to empty out the city's finances and make the city's development worse and worse, then he will suffer in the future."

   "And if he wants to make the city develop better and better, or maintain the current scale, he must spend money."

   "It's impossible to have both, the only thing is how to choose, so there is no need to set so many terms."

   "Since he wants it, then give it to him generously. It's just a high-end city. I can afford it."

"What's more, I checked him several times during this period, but found no evidence of his collusion with the demigods outside the territory. Although there are still many doubts about him, it is true that he does not match the gender of the lost heir of the Si family. But There is no doubt, since there is no evidence that he betrayed the alliance or colluded with demigods outside the territory, then he can be trusted for the time being, and there is no need to hold him back."

  Hearing what He Weidao said, Jingtai quickly bowed and said, "Yes, the student understands. Thank you teacher for your teaching."

  He Wei said "Yes", and then said, "Also, you can take your mind back a bit, the most urgent thing now is to deal with the matter of Dahei Jialuo."

   "Fang Ze has sent his subordinate with special abilities to the Secret Service Department to help. There should be some progress in the case tonight."

  Hearing He Weidao's words, Jingtai couldn't help asking, "Teacher, do you really believe that the special ability that can bypass the demigod's protection belongs to that shadow warrior?"

  He Weidao said lightly, "Yes or no, don't you know tonight?"

   Speaking of this, he seemed to have thought of something, was silent for a moment, and then said, "Besides, you haven't met the Si family, so you don't know how many geniuses he was back then."

   "Create extraordinary species. This is a field that only gods can touch. But he did it."

   "So, it is understandable that the extraordinary creatures he cultivated have some special abilities."

  Speaking of this, He Weidao sighed slightly, "Hey, it's just, it's a pity that he..."

  Seeing that He Weidao's emotions were getting up, Jingtai quickly comforted him, "Teacher, don't feel sorry. The Si family's majesty may be a genius, but after all, he doesn't have the same heart with the human race."

   "I don't know what happened back then, but I paid attention to those vassals of the Si family who survived. There are so many nobles, how many of them are like the Si family, and the vassals and private soldiers are all aliens. This is obviously a double-hearted thing."

   "So, you also got rid of a serious problem for the Federation."

  He Weidao didn't speak for a long time when he heard Jingtai's words. He looked up at the sky, looked at the dark night with deep eyes, and said softly, "Actually, things back then were not as simple as in the legend."

   "Ten years ago, it was really a meeting of the winds and clouds. All parties in the region and outside the region gathered and wrestled with each other. There were too many shadows of people and gods in that incident."

   "The Plantagenet incident was just a final flashpoint of that incident."

   At the same time, when He Weidao and Jingtai were talking about the affiliated city Fang Ze chose and the past more than ten years ago.

  From the outskirts of Yuncheng, a group of unexpected guests also ushered in at this time.

   It was a team of three to four hundred people, all of them were wearing black robes and black masks, and they were obviously members of the Devil Sect.

When they came to the outskirts of Congyun City, the leader Zhixi looked up at the city that was bigger than the Emerald City, and asked Sima Liu who was hidden in the sky, "Master Apostle, how long will it take for us to reach our destination? "

  Hearing Zhixi's words, Sima Liu looked at Cong Yuncheng, and then said slowly, "You should still have two days. But my task has been completed."

   As he was speaking, a monk wearing cassock and holding a rosary appeared not far away.

  Seeing a group of people, the monk smiled slightly, and then stepped forward, spanning a distance of tens of meters, and came to the crowd.

  Seeing this scene, the believers of the Demon Cult quickly stood still and looked at him vigilantly, while Zhixi raised his hand slightly, and looked at the monk with a gesture of raising his hand.

   But the monk bowed slightly and recited the Buddha's name, "Amitabha. The poor monk is named Fanta. He obeyed the order of the envoy and came to meet his colleagues. Don't be nervous."

  Hearing what the monk said, Zhixi glanced at him in surprise, and immediately recognized the other party's identity, a well-known psychic user in several nearby states: Mage Fanta!

   It is rumored that Mage Fanta possesses a variety of psychic abilities, and has repeatedly solved major cases in various states, and is a guest of the official departments of each state. Moreover, once, the federal garrison of Cedar State specially invited him to come to Emerald City to interrogate Fang Ze.

  Thinking of this, Zhixi was taken aback for a moment, and then shocked!

  Master Fanta interrogated Mr. Fang Ze?

   Isn’t that one’s own people judging one’s own people?

  Thinking of this, Zhixi suddenly understood why Fang Ze had nothing to do!

  For a while, Zhixi's penetration into the organization refreshed a cognition again.

   At this time, Sima Liu, who had been hiding in the air all this time, also appeared when Master Fanda exposed his family.

  He slightly bowed to Master Fanta, then handed over an envelope, and said, "Master, this is a letter written by the old man himself."

   "You can follow the plan when you arrive in Yunlan State."

  Master Fanda took the envelope respectfully, and chanted the Buddha's name again, "Amitabha Buddha. It is all up to the arrangement of the adults."

   After finishing speaking, he put away the envelope, and then said to Zhixi, "Then, everyone, please change your clothes and follow me to the low-level city: Sanzhou City. It is the closest city between Xida State and Yunlan State."

   "When I get there, I will take everyone to Yunlan State."

   Zhixi clapped his hands and said, "Yes."

   Seeing that the handover was over, Sima Liu, who had completed the task, also nodded at the crowd, and then disappeared in place.

   After leaving Zhixi and his party, Sima Liu slowly stopped his figure after running for several kilometers in the spirit world.

  He touched the box on his chest that he was carrying with him, and that box contained the gift he was going to give to the Lord: the Bandaged Girl who was captured alive by him.

   Then he called out [Devil Exchange], glanced at it, and clicked to buy an item [Quick City Return] with a price tag of 9999 contribution points.

   After ordering and purchasing, he disappeared again and waited patiently

   Meanwhile, state capitals.

  Fang Ze also drove back to the manor where he lived after deciding on the affiliated city.

Back at the manor, before he could take a break, Hei Yu came to report the situation to Fang Ze, saying that the person she asked to bring had been brought back to the manor and settled properly, and then she asked Fang Ze if he wanted to see the one he brought back people.

  Because Miao Miao had already changed her body easily in the late-night investigation room last time, so Hei Yu and Hei Niu did not recognize Miao Miao. And with Fang Ze's superficial identity, he shouldn't even know her after the transformation. So Fang Ze rejected Hei Yu's proposal, shook his head, and said he had other arrangements for her.

  After receiving Fang Ze's order, Hei Yu didn't bother Fang Ze anymore, but bowed and left.

   And just as Heiyu walked away, Fang Ze heard a "ding dong" alert on the back foot, just like the ringtone of a text message.

  Hearing the prompt, Fang Ze was stunned for a moment, and then quickly opened his [Devil Exchange] panel. Sure enough, the [Quick City Return] business he hung up had already been photographed.

   This is a code formulated by Fang Ze and Sima Liu.

   "It seems that Sima Liu's side is done."

Thinking of this, Fang Ze no longer hesitated. He closed his eyes, called out [Half God Prison], and then used the detention ability of [Half God Prison] + [Personal Deprivation] to directly imprison Sima Liu back to the half. God prison.

Seeing that Sima Liu reappeared in the [Half God Prison], Fang Ze didn't delay any longer. He washed up, and then went to bed quickly. He was going to the late-night investigation room to inquire about Sima Liu's progress and reward
