Alien landlady

Chapter 217 A lot of work
The two continued to discuss the details while eating at the dinner table.

The earth represents the reincarnation of life and is the common entrance and exit of life and death. People expect Bai Tongtong to bring a vibrant new atmosphere to the world as the messenger of the goddess of the earth. She is qualified for this new role, because first of all, the public believes that Wuying Mao will not choose the wrong partner, and then Bai Tongtong proves that the cat did not choose the wrong partner with her strength, and thus she has gained the full trust of the public.

"You are an earth mage, but you are good at making new things. You must not have done statistics yourself, but I can see the tax accounts. Those businessmen who have direct cooperation with you pay more or less tax. Increase. You know, paying more taxes means earning more, because cooperation with you makes their business better, and they are willing to invest more money to deepen cooperation with you. You should make good use of this, don’t Chase them away." Farrell sliced ​​off a small piece of fried steak and popped it into his mouth.

"You can see the detailed accounts of the monthly tax payment of every factory, workshop, business, small business, and hawker in every main city area? Don't the officials under the Minister of Taxation be exhausted?"

"There is no need to send it, but I can go down and read it, and I don't need to do it myself, just send someone there. As long as it is related to you, it must be collected no matter directly or indirectly."

"I'm really being watched from all angles." Bai Tongtong was dumbfounded.

"This is out of concern for you. Other people's assassination against you makes His Majesty and ministers feel very nervous."

"Really? Except for the one time when I was almost killed by a female killer, it seems that the surroundings are quite peaceful."

"Of course, you don't think about what I do." Farrell's tone showed a bit of complacency.

"Well, then I'm going to find a fault. You've been monitoring me so closely, but you still put me in danger."

"It was after that that your surveillance level was raised."

"Uh... so you didn't pay much attention to me before."

"There has to be a process. The cat was so young at the time, and it never made a contract with you. Who knows if it really chose you as a partner, and you didn't show too much ability. If I remember correctly, It was only after you escaped the assassination that time that you started to show your strengths to the outside world, right?"

"Because I'm afraid of death. Now that I've shown my potential, of course some people don't want me to die too soon."

"So your importance has increased, and I will take over your security. By the way, the organization behind the female killer was wiped out in one fell swoop after that incident."

"This is really good news." Bai Tongtong took a sip of the wine, put down the glass and looked at Farrell, "I want to settle the old score."

"No." Farrell knew what she wanted to say, and introducing himself to her under a false identity was his poor consideration, and he deserved this beating today.

Bai Tongtong giggled for a while, and finally let him go, "Then, while there is still time, tell me what I'm going to do next. I think you should have all the plans and I don't need to make arrangements."

"It's very simple, do what is on your plan list, find all the assistants you need, build everything that needs to be built, complete the experiments that are in arrears one by one, expand your business, improve the living standards of the people in your territory, Attract the laboring people to move to your place and make Fabao Town an unparalleled frontier town. You have accumulated your prestige in the process, and we have the bargaining chip to force the church to negotiate."

"Dream." Bai Tongtong rubbed his fingers up and down the wine glass, "Families struggling with living expenses will naturally follow whoever they live happily. I am a model who can give the public a real good life."

"Yes."

"Well, this made me feel relieved. I thought I was going to get involved in politics, which I'm not good at. To be honest, most of the nobles I met today, I can't distinguish faces and names very well. Match the numbers."

"It doesn't matter, most of them are just like you. I will handle political matters, you do your part, and don't worry about the rest."

"Division of labor and cooperation." Bai Tongtong raised his glass and took several sips, "Anyway, on the surface, I do my own thing and don't form cliques with others, but in fact, I think someone has put me and you together. "

"There are always a few people with good memories in this world, but without your nod, we are not official allies, are we?"

"Right."

"Ah, by the way, after dinner, you should go for a walk in the town of Fabao, and see the people in your two territories on the way back. This is as urgent as writing letters to His Majesty. The boss is mainly talking about buying a piece of land to build a guild store. With this store, the raw materials you want can be shipped in continuously, and the locally produced products can also be shipped out conveniently. In short, it is to make this town alive. Attract the townspeople and surrounding villagers to work under your command to earn money and support their families."

"Okay." Bai Tongtong felt that this suggestion was solid. The mayor of Fubao Town had dinner with her when she took office, and the two parties did not take the initiative to meet again. It is indeed time to meet.

After dinner, Farrell went back to the capital from the teleportation array, and Harding flew back. With the power of the phantom wolf, the flight time was not long.

Bai Tongtong washed her face, put on makeup and changed her clothes, and fled to Fubao Town with the two animals. During the time when it was still dark, there were no passers-by on the street, and the tavern was very lively, but that's why no one noticed Bai Tongtong coming.She walked along the only main street for a while, turned into a fork, and finally knocked loudly on the door of the mayor's house.

The mayor's family was dumbfounded. They stayed for a few seconds before they came to their senses. They hurriedly invited Bai Tongtong into the house. Seven people from three generations lived in a house that was only a little bigger than the noble dormitory of Mowu Academy. It is extremely crowded, the first floor is a big room, the kitchen, dining room and living room are integrated into one, simple sleeping bunks are set up when going to bed at night, and put away after getting up in the morning.Ah Huang didn't even have the room to turn around here. With a slight flick of his tail, he could sweep all the things on the dining table to the ground, so he had no choice but to escape and wait outside the house.

In this depressing space, Bai Tongtong didn't want to stay longer, and directly expressed to the mayor that she wanted to buy a piece of vacant land at the entrance of the town and on both sides of the starting point of the main street to build a guild store.

"President Bai, did you come here in person just for this matter?"

"That's it. I have a meeting in the capital during the day, so I'm sorry to disturb your family's rest at this time."

"Of course President Bai wants to buy land, it's okay. In fact, it's the same if you ask your subordinates to do such a trivial matter."

"Of course they will handle the formal transaction. I just want to drop by to visit the mayor. It has been a few months since we last met."

The mayor's hands trembled at Bai Tongtong's words, he didn't know how to be polite, and sat across the table speechless.

"Okay, it's getting late, I have to go back to rest, tomorrow morning I will send my accountant to the town office to discuss with the mayor the size of the required land in detail, and ask the mayor not to embarrass my people then." Bai Tongtong naturally had something to say.

"No, President Bai, don't worry, you are very welcome in the town to buy land. If you think you can use that large piece of land on the street in the future, you can buy it all. Anyway, no one in the town has the money to build a new house. .”

"Well, this is what you said, the mayor, so I will buy them all without hesitation, and come to measure the land tomorrow morning."

"I will prepare the title deed text overnight, President Bai."

After leaving the mayor's house, Bai Tongtong rushed to inspect her two territories. Not long after knocking on the village head's house, everyone in the village knew about it. When she came out to go to the town of Wismar, the excited villagers all fell on the ground and begged to kiss her shoes.

After arriving in Wismar, he also went to harass Farrell's men, Barn, and the group, and then skipped along the village one by one until they came to the town. Although it was a bit late, But some parts of the town are still brightly lit, and workers hired from her several workshops work in three shifts to produce products day and night.

Bai Tongtong has known for a long time that the mayor's management ability is extremely limited. He alone cannot support the future development and management of the town, and there are no serious educated people in Ludi Town, so they can only rely on finding people from outside. Talent came to share the work of the mayor.

I really want to go to her workshop, but considering that her sudden appearance at such a late hour will scare people, and it will not be worth the loss if it affects the quality of the products, so she decisively turns to the mayor's house and knocks on his door. Wake him up from his sleep and talk, asking him about manning requirements.

Since the mayor managed the production on his behalf, many new ideas have emerged, and he is well aware of his limited ability. When Bai Tongtong came to discuss this issue with him, he boldly expressed his ideas. The two sat at the dining table and took The discussion with paper and pen lasted until midnight.

After returning to the guild's own bedroom, Bai Tongtong still couldn't rest. Instead, she sat in front of her antique writing desk, copied the letter that Farrell had written for her on letter paper, and then sealed the envelope, arranging for Ah Huang to make arrangements for tomorrow. First go to Marzio to deliver the letter, and then deliver the domestic letter.Farrell didn't even forget the Principality of Tamir, she was still an honorary citizen of that country anyway, which also reminded Bai Tongtong not to forget her agricultural experiment.

After all the work was done, it was not long before dawn, Bai Tongtong condensed a big water ball and wiped his face hastily, climbed into bed and fell asleep.

It felt as if just lying down and closing his eyes, he was woken up by Abel and the maids who brought in the clothes. Bai Tongtong rubbed his eyes and turned over to look at the sky outside the window. The sun was out, and if he didn’t get up, he would be late for the meeting. She was so scared that she bounced up from the bed like a carp, washed and dressed, changed clothes and ate, and then hurriedly jumped into the teleportation array and rushed to the capital alone.

Bai Tongtong heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the noble carriages lined up in front of the elders' house, and walked leisurely to say good morning to them, and walked into the hall together talking and laughing.
