Chapter 55 Selection 1

(Third update, continue tomorrow!)

Donald always did his best when he thought about it. After resting that night, he brought people to the town early the next morning to the mayor's house that the waiter asked about.

The official name of this town is Xijiao Town. It can be determined by the source of it by looking at its geographical location.

Because it is the closest town to the west of Bauhinia City, the capital of the Marquis of Ansel, merchants and travelers often pass by here, so although they do not occupy a large area, they are very prosperous.

Unlike the northern county and other places where there are many nobles in the feudal provinces, the situation where there is only one lord in the entire continent is very rare. Only the Ansel family, which has inherited the ancient magic empire Banna, has such strength and heritage. In addition, the special situation of the Celtic Kingdom has created the current situation of the Marquis of Ansel.

Because all the land belongs to only one lord, and there are not many vassals of the Ansel family, and those scattered fiefs are still near the center of the kingdom. Most of the towns in the northwest province are managed by a mayor and tax officer assigned by the Ansel family. As for the armed forces to maintain public order, they are militia guards formed by the local government.

If you want to say that doing so will give some ambitious people the opportunity to organize their own armed forces, then you are wrong!

Ansel's wisdom originated from the ancient magic empire is not comparable to those of the rising nobles now. They only issued one order to eliminate the hidden dangers of rebellion by armed forces in all local areas in the territory.

That decree is that all local militia guards in towns will be the reserve team of the Holy Sword Legion, and the legions will be expanded every year, and excellent swordsmen will be selected from various places to become official legion members.

In this way, no local armed forces will be completely bribed by a certain force, because compared with the treatment and status of the official members of the Holy Sword Legion, and the honor, even tens of thousands of Jinsor's property cannot be exchanged for. If you want to bribe the militias of the guards, you will have to pay more than that!

There are at least a dozen militias in a village. If you want to bribe it, it will cost more than 100,000 Jinsol. With these, Jinsol only needs to donate half of them to the royal families of various countries and find a way to change the status of a nobleman of a lifetime Lord or even a baron. Why do you have to do that thankless thing?

In this case, as the head of a town in the northwest province, he is the highest-ranking part of the local area. Although he cannot obtain aristocratic status, it is enough to ensure that the family has a prosperous life.

The more Donald understood the situation in the northwest province, the more he admired the wisdom of the Ansel family. This management method is very consistent with the situation of this era, and the excellent ones are comparable to the modern management of the previous life. Moreover, even in modern governments, officials who embezzled, cheated, or even fled were very common, and coups were still taking place in some countries.

On the other hand, the Marquis of Ansel reached the land of a large province in his previous life, but it had been stable for hundreds of years and had not had many major cases. This was certainly due to the powerful force of the Ansel family to suppress and restrain, and it was also related to the main reason why the creatures in this world were suppressed by the rules set by gods and led to the stagnation of social development.

The people here are simple just like the lower class people in the feudal society in ancient times. Even if they are oppressed, they will not want to resist. Moreover, they have powerful professionals and even gods, so the environment is naturally different!

A young man with a noble appearance came to the door of the mayor's house, which attracted many onlookers. Until the mayor opened the door and personally welcomed the people into the house, the onlookers gradually dispersed.

Regarding the visit of a nobleman, the mayor of Xijiao Town could not understand the origin of the other party, but he should be able to guess the purpose of the visit, probably because the refugees outside the town blocked their way. Many merchants had visited him before and asked to solve the problem.

However, the problem that the lord cannot solve for the time being, what can he do, a small mayor?

Because of the other party's status as a nobleman, he had to go to the reception.

However, the mayor misunderstood Donald's purpose. Although his purpose is indeed related to refugees outside the town, he is not like other nobles, who only care about his own interests, regardless of the lives of those civilians.

"Master, I am a nobleman in the North County, the current master of the Melina Knights family, and a mage. I came here this time because I wanted to ask the mayor for help!"

When the mayor of Xijiao Town heard what Donald said, he felt intimidated, but on the surface he had to be polite. Not to mention the status of a noble, a mage is not something he can offend, but he is an ordinary person. Fortunately, even if he can't help, the other party, a foreign nobleman, has no right to deal with the mayor he personally selected by the Marquis of Anser's Mansion.

"Mage, please tell me if I have anything to do. If I can do it, I will definitely help you!"

"This matter is also related to the problem outside the town. However, I am a nobleman from another place after all, so it is difficult to come forward directly. If the mayor can come forward to help, it may be able to solve the problem outside the town!"

After hearing this, Donald told his purpose.

"I have two new manors, and the family lacks some staff. Seeing that the people in the northwest are relatively excellent, I want to choose a few of these refugees to bring them back. These are residents of free villages on the border, and they are only nominally marquis, so they will not cause any trouble. And you can also solve the problem of traffic outside the town while I choose!"

Before Donald finished speaking, the mayor was happy. The aristocrat was not here to make things difficult for him and asked the refugees to evacuate them and leave the encirclement outside the town, but provided him with a solution to the current problems.

"No matter whether this method is useful or not, it is worth a try at present!" These refugees are blocked outside the town, and merchants and passengers cannot enter and exit, which greatly affects the profits of the town, which really makes the mayor worry.

Although the town took out some of the stored food every day to give them some food, it could only last one meal a day, and it couldn't last long. The messenger who asked for help from Zijing City had been there for two days, and there was no news yet. If this continues, the hair that was not much above his head would be gone!

After thinking about it, the mayor immediately summoned the militia guards and brought them to the gate of the town.

The appearance of the group attracted the attention of the refugees, but they didn't care much. In the past few days, the mayor has come out to persuade them to leave, but he waited here and had at least a bite of food every day, and it was close to Zijing City, so he could know any news as soon as possible.

As for going to Zijing City? The group of people in front have not been resettled yet. When they go there, they still camp outside the city to receive relief. And with military control, it is better to be free and easy in this small town.
