Chapter 37 The Mayor's Choice

Under the personal leadership of the mayor, the one-week public security rectification campaign "Wreak of White Sands" finally achieved fruitful results.

More than ten suspected Helpha lurking spies, more than 30 demon worshippers were captured, and more than 10 false gods were discovered, and the false god Barto, believed in by the slaves of Duriel, made trouble during the night of riots...

Then, the full launch of the emergency "Reconstruction of Baisha" project led by the Baisha Municipal Government, which uses cheap and surplus military supplies.

These are completely enough to gradually calm down the anger of the Baisha citizens.

Since people's anger gradually subsides, life will continue to be with food, rice, oil and salt. In fact, most ordinary white sand citizens think that this Duriel slave riot is a good thing, because after the Duriel slaves were swept away, a large number of free jobs were actually waiting for them!

Ordinary citizens are not Duriel slaves who work without wages, but citizens naturally have to spend money when they get wages.

After getting wages, citizens will buy various daily necessities and non-essentials, so the business in Baisha City will naturally flourish - this is very simple

This strong demand for goods immediately made the factory owners who suffered heavy losses in the riots red. They even dared to squeeze the slaves from death in order to make profits, and eventually triggered a slave riot!

However, according to the temporary regulations issued by the Baisha Municipal Government, before thoroughly finding out the entire situation of the riot, no one in Baisha City is allowed to sell Durier slaves again, which made these factory owners reluctant to send out various employee advertisements, and the target of the employee is ordinary Baisha citizens.

As a result, a more prosperous business cycle was formed again.

This naturally led to the continued increase in the employment rate of Baisha citizens. Then, after discovering the huge business opportunities hidden in Baisha City, capital and businessmen from other places were quickly attracted.

Immediately, Baisha City suddenly issued investment promotion clauses, providing various discounts and tax exemptions to merchants who built factories and invested in factories, so the investors came even more violently...

In this way, the Baisha Municipal Government, which only took out surplus military supplies worth no more than rand 150,000 to use for reconstruction, soon discovered that after the disaster taxes were reduced and exempted, it had actually exceeded that before the Duriel slave riot!

"Ah——, our mayor, is simply a genius!"

There are already many people, in private, who are destined to resign in shame and get out of here.

No one knows what the genius mayor Khakibu, whom they mentioned, said after receiving the fiscal revenue and expenditure report for a long time after a while -

"Ah——, our little Palone is simply a genius! As expected, slavery is the most annoying, it will seriously hinder the prosperity of business!"

Mr. Kakib knew very well that the so-called post-disaster reconstruction plans he had formulated in fact mostly came from the tips of the genius young writer Malone Liszt.

Putting aside the financial report, Mr. Kakib picked up another copy of the White Sand Morning Post and read the "Orphan of White Sand" which has been serialized on it with great interest. What kind of misfortune will that poor orphan Oliver Twist encounter today?

Unfortunately, before Mayor Khakibu finished reading the content of this episode of "Orphan in White Sand", the knock-knock sounded.

"Come in."

Mr. Mayor put down the newspaper.

So the door opened, and the assistant mayor Descartes walked in, carrying a small wooden box with exquisite wrapping paper outside: "Mr. Mayor, the Emerald Emblem Press just now sent someone to deliver this."

"What's this?"

Mr. Mayor, showed a curious expression.

"Today, it seems that it is the day when the genius young writer Ma Long Liszt was officially launched. The days when the seven fairy tales and two novels were sold. This small wooden box is said to be a complete collection of hardcover special collection editions. Mr. Mayor, please read..." Assistant Mayor, Descartes, answered very clearly. He placed the exquisitely packaged small wooden box on the mayor's desk, then pointed to the sealing fire paint of the wooden box and continued: "Look here, there is the number of this wooden box here, and its number is um...010, which means Mr. Mayor, you should be the tenth set of hardcover special collection editions."

"Set ten?" The mayor frowned: "Why isn't it number 001?"

At least at this time, Mr. Mayor Kakib felt that there would be even greater figures in this White Sand City.

"Oh, that's it." The assistant mayor said in a low voice: "It sounds like the old man who gave the goods said that the nine sets in the first were sent to the capital Finico, and His Excellency Secretary of State Newventry will receive one of them."

Well, after hearing the mayor's assistant's voice, Mayor Kakib said nothing. After a while, he said to his assistant in a serious tone: "Descartes, if anyone asks you, you will say that I am very honored to receive this set of gifts full of noble culture. Do you know?"

"Yes." The assistant mayor nodded without hesitation: "I will also tell them that Mr. Mayor likes all the stories in this collection."

As an assistant mayor, Descartes also knows something that others don't know.

"Very good!" Mayor Kakibu's expression calmed down. After scanning his desk for a while, he threw the stack of files that were originally placed in the most conspicuous position on the chair next to him without hesitation, and placed the "Wooden Box Collection" with the main title number 010 "The Little Prince's Adult Fairy Tale" and the subtitle "Marlong - A Lost Traveler's Hardcover Special Collection of Fairy Tales, Novel Collection" there.

After thinking about it again, the mayor decisively opened the sealing paint of the wooden box, opened the exquisite wooden box and pulled out a book made of top-quality printing paper from the box.

The mayor saw the title of "The Little Prince" and the little prince in a cute prince costume and long streamer scarf printed on the cover, as well as a cute red fox and a beautiful rose.

"very beautiful."

Although I have read many books, the mayor has to admit that the printed book "The Little Prince" is indeed very beautiful, with the cover painting full of childlike fun but it does not lose the atmosphere that makes people like it.

The only problem is that the price tag imprinted on the sealing hot paint is a bit expensive... Oh, Ninety-Ninety-Ninety-Netta per set!

“It’s really beautiful.”

Assistant Mayor Descartes, also stared at the cover of "The Little Prince".

However, the mayor did not open "The Little Prince", but just rubbed the exquisite cover with his hand and placed "The Little Prince" in front of him.

"Descartes, you just said that today is the Emerald Emblem Publishing House, which officially launched our genius young writer Malone Liszt, the day when those seven fairy tales and two novels?"

"Yes, Mr. Mayor, the old man who came to deliver the book said so."

"So, should our little Palone be in that Emerald Emblem Press now?"

"According to the practice of the publishing industry, where should he be? When the new book is sold for the first time, the publishing house will mostly arrange for the author to conduct signature book sales activities."

"What are you waiting for?! Let's go and participate in the signature book sale!"

"But, according to today's arrangement, there will be a meeting on reconstruction work later."

"Notify them that the meeting was postponed! No, let the deputy mayor preside over the meeting! Descartes, you still don't understand what can increase my influence faster..."
