A day later, Grimm returned to Moth Frog Town after collecting a lot of information about the gold mine in Crooked Fang Mountain.
Half a month later.
As a Sorcerer, Grimm personally punished several insignificant criminals in Moth Frog Town who had caused too much public anger and restored the atmosphere of the town.
The reason for doing so was to establish prestige among the ordinary residents. On the other hand, it was to give a warning to the aristocrats who were intertwined with each other. At the same time, because these people were not important, they did not cause too much trouble in the town.
Standing on the high platform.
Grimm looked at the tens of thousands of ordinary Moth Frog Town poor people below the stage who were looking at him. Most of these people were dressed in simple and crude clothes. Their faces were thin, and they carried an unyielding wildness.
Having just killed a few fellows who had committed heinous crimes, Grimm had indeed gained a lot of prestige among these people.
"I am Grimm, the governor of Moth Frog Town for the next fifty years. As you can see, I am a Sorcerer. From now on, I will be the ruler of this city and all the surrounding villages and towns!"
Grimm roared loudly.
"And my mission is to let every aristocrat here have enough dignity and wealth! Let every Knight here have a fair reward and the possibility of becoming an aristocrat after completing the mission! Let every resident here be able to afford their own wives and children! Let all the children receive formal Knight training and literacy, and even basic natural knowledge training! "
Everyone, including the aristocrats, looked at Grimm in disbelief.
Grimm's words seemed to have broken the inherent rules that had been settled for a hundred years, injected vitality into the lifeless city, and gave everyone hope.
As a Sorcerer, Grimm knew that the most important thing for people to move forward was hope!
"Wow …"
Suddenly, tens of thousands of people shouted at Grimm one after another, asking questions about this and that. There were even some poor people yelling and begging Grimm for something, and some women in the crowd were crying and complaining about something.
The hope given by Grimm ignited the dreams and plans of these people, adding to their motivation.
Grimm gestured for everyone to be quiet.
"Now, the first thing I want to do is to build a road for Moth Frog Town. This road will allow us to gain amazing wealth. The notice of the specific situation is here. Wages and food will be distributed on time. There will be no delay."
Grimm passed the notice in his hand to a knight and turned to leave.
People crowded around to read the notice.
…
City Lord Residence.
Grimm looked at the nobles present and smiled. "This time, I called everyone here to tell you a piece of good news."
Thanks to Grimm's measures over the past few days, everyone had become much more restrained. A few nobles who didn't want to cause trouble even went into hiding for fear of offending Grimm.
However, Grimm knew that oppressing these nobles was not his goal.
Grimm took out a map, drew a line between Moth Frog Town and the gold mine with a quill pen, and asked, "What do you see?"
Old Marquis Gumoza had the highest status and prestige among the many nobles. His wrinkled brows furrowed, and he asked tentatively, "If the City Lord can solve the difficulties of the gold mine development and build a brick road, it will indeed bring a lot of income to Moth Frog Town."
Grimm shook his head and smiled. Suddenly, the quill pen in his hand slid again, drawing a line between the gold mine and the Doma River.
"This means that we will open up a third of the road connecting Moth Frog Town to the Doma River! Once this road is truly completed, the other academies and rich cities at the mouth of the river will absorb all of our resources, and then we can encourage those poor people to develop natural farming, selling it at an unimaginably high price. What does this mean? "
The old marquis and the many nobles breathed heavily. So this was Grimm's plan!
Build a road for Moth Frog Town to the Doma River, and build a port at the Doma River!
"This means that we can open … a farm!"
Grimm's goal was to bring a pool of stagnant water to life, so that people would have jobs and mobilize all the human resources. As long as all the human resources could be mobilized in the right direction, it would create wealth in itself.
With wealth and transportation, it would naturally be possible to attract foreign people.
To achieve this goal, the funds and resources in the hands of these nobles had to be gathered as the first bucket of gold.
Grimm looked at the nobles present and said confidently, "The purpose of gathering all of you this time is to borrow the first funds to build the road from Moth Frog Town to the gold mine in Crooked Fang Mountain. The benefit you will receive is 50% of the future gold mine development rights in Crooked Fang Mountain!"
The empty promise that Grimm made was very tempting. This also had something to do with the fact that Grimm's goal was not to collect human wealth.
"50%!?"
"Is this for real?"
Everyone could not believe it for a moment. Only Old Marquis Gumoza said clearly, "Although the City Lord is a Wizard, how confident are you in solving the gold mining problem? If this can't be solved, everything will be empty talk. "
"100%!"
Grimm said confidently.
…
At night, Grimm met with a village chief who was wearing straw sandals and covered in mud. He was the village chief of a remote village ruled by Moth Frog Town.
With a "thud", the old village chief knelt on the ground with tears streaming down his face.
"City Lord, many people in the village have a strange disease. I have no choice but to come here. I beg the City Lord to give me the corresponding help. If these people are not treated, I'm afraid the Zhuang Family's harvest will be gone this year!"
Grimm gestured for the Knights below to help the old village chief up. Listening to the old village chief's description, he pondered. It seemed to be a contagious disease.
This kind of situation was more common in backward villages. Generally speaking, many Sorcerer-Apprentices who studied magic potions could easily solve it. Initially, it was not a big deal for Grimm to go and take a look, but tomorrow's arrangements were very important and could not be delayed.
"How many people are there in your village?"
Grimm asked the old village chief who was helped up by the Knights.
"227 … No, 226 people."
"Hmm."
After Grimm nodded, he turned to the accountant behind him and said, "Take out thirty Magic Stones from the accountant's office and post a mission at the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy."
"Yes."
Although Grandmaster Netherheart did not stipulate that the assessment could not involve Sorcerers' private property, Master Hydra Wrath had strictly emphasized it and even signed a contract.
From this, it could be seen that this Master Hydra Wrath seemed to be an upright, strict, and adhering to the rules, which was a stark contrast to his unrestrained appearance.
"Thank you, City Lord Grimm. Thank you, City Lord Grimm."
The old man was so excited that he could not speak.
…
The next morning, Grimm led dozens of city guards and hundreds of knights gathered by various nobles. Under the cheers of many residents on the street, they set off on their warhorses.
They finally arrived at Crooked Fang Mountain in the evening.
"Wow, monster! Monster! "
The knights on the warhorses looked at the huge figure in the sky and were terrified. Compared to this monster, humans were too small and insignificant.
It was Thousand-eyed Carcinus.
"Your Excellency Grimm."
Thousand-eyed Carcinus was floating in the middle of its mouth. Grimm, who was riding on a warhorse, nodded and asked, "How's the matter that I asked you to handle?"
"I've killed all those little bugs. Those that weren't killed escaped because of my aura."
Thousand-eyed Carcinus replied.
"Hmm."
After Grimm nodded, he took out a large bag of seeds and a large amount of sulfur and distributed it to the knights who were still panicking. He said lightly, "Your task is to sprinkle these seeds and sulfur in the surrounding swamp waters. They will drive away some of the mosquitoes here and reduce the methane damage of this swamp to the human body."
In this way, the matter of mining gold was easily solved by Grimm.
For a Sorcerer, these things were really nothing. It was just that very few Sorcerers were interested in the lives of ordinary humans and gold coins.
If it were not for the population growth assessment task issued by Grandmaster Netherheart, why would Grimm put his Sorcerer's wisdom on these ordinary humans and create convenience for their lives?
Gradually, Grimm seemed to understand something.
Was this the balanced rule of humans in the Sorcerers World?
The Stigmata Sorcerers needed a large population to provide the base number for Sorcerers to advance. In turn, some Sorcerers were forced to work for ordinary humans. It was also because of this that the lives of ordinary humans in the Sorcerers World were rarely destroyed by the Sorcerers. They were even protected!
