Three days later, the people of Bangta City got up early in the morning and found that today's Bangta City seemed a little different from usual.
The most obvious thing is that there are many heavily armed city guards on the streets in the city. Two of them will stand at every intersection, guarding almost all the streets in Bangta City.
Then if you look carefully, you will find that the streets and alleys in the city seem to be extremely clean and tidy today.
The small stalls that usually stood in twos and threes on the roadside had all disappeared today, as if they had been wiped out suddenly.
The shops next to the road did not put some goods for sale outside as usual, but instead put them all into the shop and placed them neatly without any clutter.
Even the ground, which would be somewhat dirty on weekdays, was cleaned extremely clean today, and even the shadows of people could be seen in some smooth places.
People were a little surprised at first, but then they reacted instantly.
As early as three days ago, "Bangta Daily" reported the big event that was going to happen today - Bangta City was going to change its city owner!
Fifteen years have passed since the current king ascended the throne and Earl Satsuma was appointed as the Lord of Bonta City.
After such a long time, all the people in Bangta City have long been accustomed to his presence.
For the vast majority of people in Bangta City, when it comes to the Lord of the City, it is only Earl Satsuma. So many people in Bangta City have even forgotten the last name of the Lord of the City and only know that he is the Lord of the City. That's it.
After getting used to it for so long, now a city lord suddenly needs to be replaced. When the people of Bangta City knew about this. I felt somewhat sad and awkward in my heart.
During the fifteen years when Count Satsuma was in charge of Bonta City. Always behaved very responsibly.
Although in the past ten years it was due to Bangta City itself. Earl Satsuma did not make Bangta City rich, but for ordinary people, it was quite satisfactory for the lord of a city to fulfill his basic duties.
In the past ten years or so, although Count Satsuma did not develop the economy of Bangta City, his management of the entire city was still quite good.
In the past ten years or so, although Bangta City has not yet been able to keep its doors open at night and not pick up lost items, it has been managed in an orderly manner and there has been almost no turmoil.
And it is most praised by ordinary people. It was he who actually strictly controlled the nobles of all sizes in Bangta City and did not allow these nobles to bully ordinary civilians at will.
Under his management, there have been very few incidents of nobles oppressing ordinary civilians in Bangta City over the years, and if they were discovered, the offending nobles would immediately be severely punished by Count Satsuma.
For ordinary civilians, this alone is enough to make them support the city lord.
And this was only in the past ten years. When the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce suddenly appeared and promoted the development of the entire Bangta City, which greatly improved the economy of Bangta City, Earl Satsuma did not hesitate to use the extra taxes collected by the city lord's palace. It’s time to improve the people’s living environment in Bangta City.
within these two years. Bangta City has almost completely changed.
Let’s not talk about the reconstruction project on both sides of the Sandy River outside the city that is almost completed. The construction of the highway transportation network outside the city is a large-scale project that involves an extremely wide range and costs a lot of money. The mere fact that there is an urban public transportation system in Bangta City now makes people's lives much more convenient.
And just a few days ago, magic street lights were installed on several main streets in Bangta City.
Just like the New Municipal Square, these magic street lights will be lit up every night, illuminating all these streets, so that people in Bangta City will no longer be confused when walking on these streets at night. Just like before, we can only move forward in the dark.
Moreover, the street lights on these streets are only the first phase of the project. According to the plan announced by the city government, these magic street lights designed and constructed by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will be gradually installed on every street in Bangta City in the future. Here, the entire city of Bangta is illuminated at night, making Bangta City the "city that never sleeps" that Earl Satsuma had previously announced in the "Bangta Daily".
Originally, the people of Bangta City were eagerly waiting for this day to arrive.
But starting three days ago, after reading the news in the "Bangta Daily" that Bangta City was going to change its city owner, people became uncertain.
Earl Satsuma is leaving. Can Bangta City's various municipal projects that are extremely beneficial to ordinary people continue to be implemented as planned
"This is simply unnecessary worry." Count Satsuma maintained a confident smile and said to Naxi, editor-in-chief of "Bangta Daily": "Although I have left Bangta City, President Xu and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are still there. You guys To be honest, most of the municipal projects that I said could change the face of Bangta City were implemented only after Chairman Xu suggested it to me. Even most of the money spent on implementing these municipal projects was funded by Xinfei. The City Lord’s Palace cannot afford the Chamber of Commerce’s injection, so as long as President Xu and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are still there, we don’t need to worry about these issues.”
The two of them were waiting with a large group of people by the road outside the north gate of Bangta City.
Today is the day when Earl Stark will take over as the city lord. As the former lord of Bonta City, Earl Satsuma has led almost all the prominent figures in Bonta City to welcome Earl Stark.
Before Earl Stark arrived, Naxi asked Earl Summer for a short interview.
"But after all, these municipal projects must be supported by the city government to proceed." Naxi frowned. "Now that you have left, Lord City Lord, everyone is worried about whether Earl Stark's new City Lord's Palace will continue to support these municipal projects like you do."
"I said, this is unnecessary worry." Earl Satsuma put away his smile and said seriously: "Since Earl Stark has taken over as the lord of our Bonta City, he will naturally try his best to contribute to the development of Bonta City. Strength. These municipal projects are beneficial to Bangta City, and Earl Stark will of course continue to support them on behalf of the city government. "
Naxi hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth secretly. Then he asked: "But the Lord of the City. I heard that the Stark family has objections to President Xu and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Aren't you worried that after Earl Stark becomes the city lord of Bonta City, he will treat Xinfei for this reason? Wouldn’t the Chamber of Commerce no longer support, or even suppress?”
Earl Satsuma's face immediately darkened: "Where did you hear this? Let me understand. Even if the Stark family has objections to Xu Yi and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it is not the same as Earl Stark's position as Bonta City. The city owner has nothing to do with it. Earl Stark will be the city owner of Bangta City from today on, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is one of the most important chambers of commerce in Bangta City. For the development of Bangta City, he will of course continue to support it like me. Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. How can you make such wild guesses?"
Although Earl Satsuma's tone was very stern. But on the surface, Naxi nodded solemnly and accepted the instruction, but he couldn't help but still raise the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing the true emotions in his heart.
Because Earl Summer's words were very righteous and awe-inspiring, he clearly stated his attitude of supporting Earl Stark. However, if you carefully analyze these few words he said, you will find that he did not support Earl Stark before he came. Put him in a very awkward position.
According to the meaning of Earl Satsuma's words, since Earl Stark is the lord of Bonta City, he must consider the development of Bonta City, so he must support the new flight that is very important to the development of Bonta City. Chamber of Commerce.
If he doesn't support it. That clearly means there is no consideration for the development of Bangta City.
With such a big hat weighing down, how could Earl Stark not have any scruples
And Earl Satsuma even defined the strength of this support. That is "support the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce like him."
How did Earl Satsuma support the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce
As long as a Bangta person has the habit of watching "Banta Daily", he will often see Count Satsuma's clear support for various initiatives of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in "Bangta Daily".
Moreover, Earl Satsuma even directly handed over the construction of municipal projects that are most valued by ordinary people in Bangta City to Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
This is almost equivalent to treating the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce as part of the city lord's palace.
Such support is not something that ordinary city lords can achieve.
But if Earl Stark can't do it, it means he doesn't consider the development of Bonta City.
You know, "Bangta Daily" now sells more than 50,000 copies every day. People in Tacheng have long developed the habit of obtaining information from "Bangta Daily".
Now, of course, Naxi's interview with Count Satsuma at such a sensitive moment will be completely published in the "Bonta Daily".
In other words, what Earl Satsuma said will eventually be known to everyone in Bonta City through the "Banta Daily".
For those ordinary people, these words spoken by Earl Summer are completely exhortations and warnings directed at Earl Stark.
If Earl Stark does not do well, he will become the target of public criticism in an instant.
"President Xu, do you think Earl Satsuma will introduce you and your new Flying Chamber of Commerce to him when he meets Earl Stark soon?" Among the waiting crowd not far away, Cruise from the Armley Chamber of Commerce The president asked Xu Yi in a low voice beside him.
"Probably not." Xu Yi shook his head. "Yesterday, I specifically mentioned this matter to the Lord of the City, hoping that he would never introduce me and our New Flying Chamber of Commerce. The Lord of the City agreed."
"Why?" President Cruz was a little confused. "Although I understand your desire to keep a low profile in front of Earl Stark, do you think this is possible? Earl Stark will definitely collect enough information about our Bonta City before coming, plus The Stark family... Well, it's impossible for him not to notice you and your new Flying Chamber of Commerce.
"That is something that Earl Stark needs to consider, and it has nothing to do with me." Xu Yi shrugged and said easily: "When it is not necessary, it is better for me to be low-key."
"But… "
President Cruz wanted to ask again, but suddenly he heard the people around him becoming noisy.
Looking intently towards the distance of the road, I saw a row of horse-drawn carriages on the far end of the road slowly driving towards this side.
No need to guess, this is obviously Earl Stark's arrival. (To be continued...)
