Letting Felix preside over the construction of the development zone was a decision made by Sui Xiong after careful consideration.
The Church of Void Mask could be said to be full of talents at present, but the direction of talents was very extreme. There were many talents in the direction of martial arts and petty officials, but there were not many people who could really take charge.
Supposedly, the most suitable person to take charge was actually Miss Pan Zhuogeng, who was a teacher in the clergy school. However, she was a believer of the God of Centaurs, and a loyal one at that. Counting on her to help Sui Xiong build the development zone was tantamount to asking for fish from a tree.
The second was probably Josh, after all, who had been a tribal chief. But for some reason, he was really not suitable to be the chief, and could only be an assistant.
So Sui Xiong took a step back and finally found Felix, who was teaching students and hoped to pass on the strange combat mage profession of "magic cannon."
Felix had a good performance in the World Martial Arts Competition, and since then, she had become famous and received many invitations. But she did not accept the invitations of those teams or various organizations. Instead, she lived in the Void Mask amusement park and joined the Church of Void Mask's mage group.
In exchange, she used the power of the church to find several children with both mage and ranger talents, and taught them the skills of the profession of "magic cannon," in order to fulfill the promise of youth and pass on this profession.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a few years had passed. The children gradually grew into teenagers, and Felix herself had grown a lot. Similar to people like Josh, she had begun to touch the legendary realm.
However, there was still a long way to go from "touching the legendary realm" to "stepping into the legendary realm." As the heir of the blood of the legendary creature "Phoenix," Felix, who had awakened the power of the blood, could live for a very long time, so she was not in a hurry. She was determined to slowly step into that realm by relying on the accumulation of time.
In this case, she was more idle now. In addition, she was a businesswoman with a broad vision and a flexible mind. During this time, her performance in the mage group was also very outstanding. Finally, Sui Xiong made up his mind to let her be the mayor of Pyroxene Town and preside over the construction of the development zone.
Felix was not averse to the job. On the contrary, she was very curious about how His Majesty the Void Mask planned to revive a dilapidated town that was on the verge of being abandoned and build it into what he called a model of "social progress." Of course, it would be more interesting if he could add his own contribution to this cause.
Therefore, after receiving the invitation, she asked about it in detail and happily accepted the job. After a little preparation, he took the students out of the amusement park and came to Pyroxene Town in the cold winter of the northwest.
Of course, Sui Xiong would not let her fight alone. It wouldn't be long before more people came to help. The reason why she was allowed to go first was her own request.
"Since I'm going to be the mayor and preside over the construction of this town, I should be the first to start working." Felix had said at the time, "It's like fighting a war. A commander at the front is undoubtedly more convincing to his men than one at the back. It's the same principle. "
That was why she had come in a hurry and seized power as soon as she arrived. She had seized the position of mayor of Pyroxene Town by using the "physical persuasion method" that ordinary mages would never use. She had also hurriedly built the magic school and prepared for the follow-up work.
A few hours later, in the evening, the students of the Isuka Magic School came back under the leadership of Harman, the guide. It could be seen that they were a little sad and not in high spirits. The eyes of the emotional little girls were a little red, and it was obvious that they had been crying.
As soon as they saw the teacher, they talked about what they had seen and heard on the trip. It could be roughly summed up in one sentence — the people here were poor and pitiful, and they needed help.
When Felix checked their expenses, she was not surprised to see a large amount of food. After careful calculation, these little guys bought at least enough food for hundreds of people for a month, and the price was quite high, which made them look like fools.
Seeing the account, Felix frowned and looked at Harman.
As a strong person who was on the verge of becoming a legend, of course, she would not care about this small amount of money. However, she was very unhappy that her students had been treated as fools and had been cheated. It was okay that those teenagers lacked social experience, but Harman was a local and did not look like a fool. How could she not do this well?
Harman saw that she looked unhappy after looking at the account, and her heart suddenly thumped. She whispered, "Master Magician, this food expenditure is a one-time expense. Those poor people will save their food, and with their own jobs … I think they will be able to survive this winter. "
Felix frowned and said, "This money is nothing, but why is this food so expensive?"
Harman was stunned. "Expensive? And this is a big purchase at a reduced price … "
This time it was Felix's turn to be puzzled. She looked at the account carefully and recalled carefully, confirming that even the food price in the Void Mask Amusement Park would not be so expensive. Moreover, the food in the Void Mask Amusement Park was of a much higher grade than that here. For example, "coarse-ground Golden Vine Flour" and so on, except for some special meals that might be used in small amounts, in the amusement park, even the dogs would not eat it.
Why was the price of food in this place so high?! It was already so dilapidated, why was the price high? It did not make sense!
The common sense of a businessman was challenged, and Felix suddenly became curious. So the next day, she arranged for the students to continue to use the staff to build dormitories and prepare accommodation for the follow-up personnel, and she took Harman to visit the market.
To be honest, compared with the Void Mask Amusement Park, the "market" in Pyroxene Town was really shabby. It took Felix less than ten minutes to go around it. There were only three stores in total, and the goods in the stores were so plain that they were really not worth looking at.
She mainly paid attention to the prices, and found that the prices here were a bit strange. Things such as metals and sundries were indeed cheap, but daily consumables such as food were quite expensive, especially the price of food, which was somewhat unexpectedly high.
She also talked for a while with the owner of the store that sold food. Probably because of the big deal brought by Harman yesterday, the owner was in a good mood and answered almost all her questions. When she asked about the price of the grain, the boss said that the grain in the Ashes Woods was expensive. Especially in the past two years, there had been fewer development villages. The grain was basically transported from Rye Town and even from the Void Mask Amusement Park, so it was naturally more expensive.
"We must stabilize the grain prices." "The income of the people here is not high. If the price of food is so high, it will be difficult to keep people, and the construction of the village will be out of the question."
Sui Xiong naturally had no objection to this. He was only in charge of the main direction, and the details of the town's construction were completely left to Felix. Since Felix felt that the price of food needed to be stabilized, then so be it.
Felix was very active. Since the decision was made, she immediately began to build the transmission array. According to the plan, it was not necessary to build it in such a hurry, but the plan could not keep up with the changes.
It only took two days to build the simple transmission array. As soon as the array was completed, Felix carefully checked the array and hurriedly teleported back to the Void Mask Amusement Park, bought a lot of food in one go, and then came to Pyroxene Town.
She did things quickly and immediately rushed to the food store to discuss with the owner about the purchase of the store.
The owner of the food store had no feelings for this dilapidated town, but he stressed that if the store was sold in winter, his family would have nowhere to go.
Therefore, Felix had no choice but to buy the entire shop and all the goods at a price that was about 20% higher than the market price. Then, he rented a decent house for the owner's family so that they could safely survive the winter. When the flowers bloomed in spring, they could consider doing something else.
After doing this, she asked Harman to recruit people, reorganize the store, and adjust the price of food.
"Mr. Magician, you are selling the food at such a low price. Won't you lose money?" Harman, of course, was willing to change his profession to be the owner of the grain store, but when he learned of Felix's "food guide price," he could not help but be shocked and asked worriedly.
Felix frowned and said, "Don't worry about this little thing. Just do as I say. I can afford to lose money, even if I lose money for a hundred years, I don't care. "
Since the employer said so, of course, Harman had no objection. He recruited a few honest and dutiful people to clean up the grain shop and reopen it.
But this time, the sign of the grain store had changed to "Pyroxene Town Grain Store."
Yes, under Sui Xiong's suggestion, Felix changed the grain store into the town's public property. He changed the "public property" of another world and moved it here.
"Normally, a country shouldn't rely on food to make money," Sui Xiong said to her. "Food is the most important thing for people. Food and agriculture are the foundation of a country's stability. Even if we have to lose money, as long as the loss is not too big and can be compensated in other ways, it will not be a problem. "
Felix had never heard of this point of view, and it took him a while to understand Sui Xiong's idea. Then she praised His Majesty, thinking that His Majesty Void Mask was really far-sighted and wise, for he immediately grasped the key to the construction of the territory!
If a territory could maintain a stable food supply, then the whole territory would naturally be relatively stable. In this case, of course, food should be monopolized by the territory, not by private businesses at all!
Not only that, she further expanded from Sui Xiong's point of view that any industry closely related to the livelihood of the people should be monopolized by the territory. Only those industries that did not have too close an impact on people's lives could be opened to private businesses.
"Are you really a businessman?" Sui Xiong asked in surprise.
"Of course!"
"But how can you go against the businessmen?"
"I'm a lord now!" Felix said with a smile. "The principle of a businessman is to pay attention to his own interests first. Since my interests are to revive Pyroxene Town, why should I pay attention to other businessmen? "
