The business here is prosperous, and people come and go. There are millions of gold coins of all kinds circulating in the market every day. Countless mercenaries, swordsmen, adventurers, craftsmen, peddlers and civilian slaves rushed here with their own goals, and then left...
According to the singing of the poets, this is the place favored by the gods, the rich land where wealth gathers...
The White Milky Way, the second largest water system in the continent of Galimbia, quietly nourishes the Mana Hill Plain, and finally enters the sea in the west of Morente City. The tranquil White Milky Way has brought a prosperous Gold Hidden Bay to Morente City, and A powerful sea fleet.
The vast and fertile Mana Hill Plain is full of sunshine and flowing with honey, and the harvest year after year supports the continuous expansion and growth of Morente City.
One hundred and sixty-seven years ago, the Grand Duke of the former Faliqiu Principality, Ford Morente, abruptly announced the restructuring, abolishing the hereditary feudal lord system and replacing it with the citizen representative parliamentary system. Serfdom was abolished, and nearly 400,000 serfs were released as freedmen. This move shocked the continental countries.
Grand Duke Ford Morente also announced the founding of the country by business, and established the Ford Business Alliance with the six largest chambers of commerce in Galintia, relying on the Faliqiu Plain to carry out commercial activities in various countries. This is the famous Morente reform in history.
The new Ford Business Alliance is famous for its freedom and openness in the Galintia continent. It has attracted countless people who yearn for freedom to pursue wealth, and has also attracted the greedy eyes of powerful neighbors.
Located in the north of the Mana Hill Plain, the Cresson Empire, the head of the three great empires of Galintia, declared that the reformation of Grand Duke Ford Morente was illegal, brazenly invaded the Mana Hill Plain, and started a bloody battle that lasted for more than 100 years The curtain of battle.
The nascent Ford Business Alliance did not give in. Under the banner of fighting for freedom, countless people who did not want to be slaves stepped onto the battlefield and fought one after another. For more than a hundred years, blood has stained the plains of Mana Hill red.
On the plain of Faliqiu, on the banks of the White River, and at the foot of the city of Morente, the two emperors of the Krissen Empire, more than a dozen dukes, and countless elite soldiers and generals fell. The blue flag of the Ford Business Alliance is still flying high above the city of Morente.
During the long years of war, the Ford Business Alliance became stronger and stronger. In the last big battle with more than 100,000 people, they set up a conspiracy to make the only sword master in the Krissen Empire fall on the battlefield. Not only did they win for themselves Nearly 20 years of rest and recuperation also put the Krissen Empire on the road to decline.
As the last old emperor of the Krissen Empire was sick, the three princes began to scramble for the throne. The Ford Business Alliance finally got rid of the threat from the north and developed rapidly. Twenty years of peace made the Ford Business Alliance become the largest force in the north of Galintia, a giant with business tentacles all over the entire continent.
This is the city of Morente, the unyielding city-state, the free league. Morente City was originally named Fort Wanghai, and later changed its name to Morente City to commemorate Grand Duke Forde Morente who died in the war of aggression against the Christen Empire. The city was originally only 12 blocks, but the twenty years of peace made the city of Morente expand extremely rapidly. In order to meet the needs of commercial development, the Ford Business Alliance invested a huge amount of money to add 36 blocks outside the city wall. , A new city wall was rebuilt. Since then, Morente City has been divided into inner city and outer city.
But the Morentes don’t call it that. They call the inner city the upper city and the central area, and the western part of the outer city is the college area, where nearly twenty colleges of all sizes gather. The northwest is the fleet area, the dock area, and then the commercial area with the largest area, the shanty town with the largest foreign population, the city defense barracks area in the northeast, and the remaining south and east are residential blocks.
Although Morente City is the capital of Ford Business Alliance, the General Assembly, the highest authority of the business alliance, is not responsible for the management of Morente City. The daily administrative affairs of Morente are handled by the city hall located in the central area. Its director is appointed by the union council for a five-year term. At the end of the term, a city council composed of representatives elected from each block conducts deliberations and then notifies the union of the results. Parliament, the joint council decides whether to succeed or remove him.
When the Ford Business Alliance was first established, it was trapped by the rampant underground gangsters in the city and huge administrative expenditures. In order to avoid corruption and streamline administrative personnel, a very strange policy was introduced from the perspective of businessmen, which is the face of the underground gangster organization. change. Contracting out the administrative management of public security, taxation, sanitation, etc. of each block to the bosses of the underground gangster organizations is to divide and avoid the unity and growth of the underground gangster organizations. The second is to reduce the expenditure and human resources of urban administration. The third is that it is easy to manage the underground gangster organization after it is made public. For example, the review is conducted once a year. If the residents of a certain block complain about the gangster organization in charge, the city hall will ban the gangster organization. Carry out a special strike, which will also be assisted by other underworld organizations in the adjacent block.
When this policy was first implemented, no one was optimistic about it. It was only after two years that the ingenuity of this policy was discovered. Not only has the state of law and order improved greatly, and few vicious cases have occurred, but the city hall has received a large amount of tax revenue and is able to invest in more public services, further improving the city's living environment.
This result surprised those who laughed at the Ford Business Alliance for not being able to manage the city. Many kingdoms and duchies even sent people to investigate. After the inspection, a grand duke sighed: the noble officials of the kingdom are not as clean and efficient as the members of the underground gangster organization, which is really shameful.
This is Morante, a city of merchants, full of energy and whimsy. Some people regard it as a paradise in their hearts, while others condemn it as a fallen town where the devil tempts human beings.
During the day, the cries on the street and the prayers in the temple resounded alternately. At night, the feasting, the feasting, the singing, the singing and the singing of swallows are soul-stirring. This is Morente, the city that never sleeps.
