Forget it, the townspeople are also kind, Robb waved his hand and said: "Get up, don't blame you, I actually agree with your firm anti-counterfeiting approach, and will continue to maintain it in the future, once you suspect someone If you pretend to be me, you must bravely rush to fight, and you can't let the younger generation pretend to be me to cheat food and drink."

"Praise Father!" The townspeople finished their salute and went about their own business.

Lillian continued to push Robb around the town, but every few steps someone would jump out to make a fake. After walking around the town, Robb couldn't count how many times he was attacked. He couldn't help but sighed up to the sky: "Should the security of Xifeng Town be taken care of?"

Lilian said: "It doesn't seem necessary. When the master doesn't go out, the security is still very good."

Robb: "..."

As soon as the two of them said this, they heard a townsman shouting: "Where is the counterfeit, boys, bite him!"

A townsman rushed over with a flock of geese!

Robb saw this posture: I wipe! Even animals are used?

wait, goose?

He glanced at the wheelchair he was sitting in, as if he had the feeling of Zhuge Liang, and then glanced at the flock of geese rushing over, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, hahaha, it was a good time.

Ten minutes later, a few plucked geese stood pitifully beside them.

Robb held a goose feather fan he just made in his hand, and while fanning the wind pretentiously, he smiled and said, "Hahaha, hahaha, Lillian, push the Prime Minister back to the house."

"Master, what do you mean by Prime Minister?"

"I mean I'm handsome."

"Oh, I see, the master looks like a real prime minister."

"Why does this sentence sound weird?"

After a round of laughter, Lillian pushed Robb back to the church. As soon as he sat down in the church, he heard cheers from the construction site where the dark church was being built next door.

Robb turned his head to see that it was the townspeople who were helping to build the church. They seemed very happy, jumping and jumping and throwing their hats into the sky, as if they had picked up money.

Robb couldn't help but greeted: "Hey, why are you having fun?"

The townspeople turned their heads and said with a smile, "Father, the Necromancer has processed money for us, and everyone has given out ten extra silver coins."

"Huh?" Luo Boqi said: "Where did he get the money?"

The thirty-two people from the Dark Holy See who escaped into West Wind Town are very poor. They sold their horses to raise a lot of money to build a church. They can't even make clothes for two little nuns. , how could it be possible to have extra money to distribute to the townspeople?

However, as soon as Robb asked this question, he understood.

The townspeople dispersed, and there were two big beards in the middle. It was Her Majesty's royal merchants, Gugu and Jiji. These two guys wore black silk and white silk last time. The huge shocking effect blinded Robb's eyes, so that he had been receiving them blindfolded.

But this time they're here in November, it's cold, there's no way these two guys are running around in stockings and shorts, they're wearing serious trousers that Robb can't see even in stockings , can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

When the two saw Robb, they quickly saluted: "Hello, Mr. Robert!"

Robb smiled and said, "Yo, have you given financial assistance to No. 8?" (PS: The necromancer who settled in Westwind Town is No. 8.)

The two said: "Yes, No. 8 was chased into West Wind Town by the guerrillas. Her Majesty the Queen has known about it a few days ago, and specially ordered us to bring a batch of materials to No. 8, so that he can destroy the darkness in Xifeng Town. The Holy See thrives."

Robb asked with interest: "Does the Queen know that I don't allow No. 8 to leave the city?"

The two nodded: "I know!"

Robb: "Then she's not going to fish people out?"

The two businessmen laughed and said, "It is a great joy for us to be able to enter Xifeng Town to spread the teachings of the God of Darkness. How can there be any reason to withdraw people? The townspeople of Xifeng Town need to obtain the God of Darkness. May the grace of the god of darkness spread over every inch of the earth."

Robb laughed. He thought that he had put a group of people from the Dark Holy See under house arrest, which would cause the Queen to send someone to ask for it. Maybe it would be a joke, but he didn't expect that the Queen was really a calm guy. Taking the opportunity to let the Dark Holy See infiltrate West Wind Town, but this is exactly what Robb is looking forward to.

After all, Xifeng Town is within the sphere of influence of the Dark Holy See. If the Dark Holy See does not settle in, it will be difficult for the population to increase. If there is no population, there will be nothing.

Robb smiled and said, "Her Majesty is quite a visionary."

The two businessmen laughed and said, "Of course! Royal orthodoxy is the same as Mondra's crooked way of not knowing how to manage the country."

Robb spread his hands: "Why do you always step on the other side after praising yourself?"

Chapter 138 State-level ways to make money

The two merchants came to Robb's stone table and sat down.

Just sitting down, both of them glanced at the big water tower at Robb's house.

Robb followed the eyes of the two of them and couldn't help but be happy: "What? Have you seen my tap water system?"

The two businessmen nodded: "Last time we visited you as a guest, we experienced the comfortable feeling of 'as soon as the faucet is turned on, the water will come'. We experienced it again on the construction site just now, feeling this thing What a great invention."

It turned out that the dark church under construction had already taken a pipe from the mayor's water tower, ready to use water.

The mayor is also a thief and clever person. He charges ordinary townspeople at the price of "twenty copper coins a month", but for "large buildings" such as the Dark Church, he charges "two gold coins a month". The price is charged, of course, because there are many people living in the church, and there will be many people coming to use water in public places, so it is necessary to charge a little more.

After all the reasoning, the Necromancer could not explain the mayor, and finally paid the money obediently.

This water pipe has been pulled over for several days, and the construction site really needs water. After many townspeople have finished their work, they wash their hands and faces at the water pipe, which is very refreshing.

The two businessmen arrived just now, and the Necromancer asked them to wash their faces and wake up.

The two businessmen felt very cool after using it, and they naturally came up with the idea.

"Mr. Robert, can you teach us how to make this kind of thing called 'tap water'?" The two businessmen respectfully said: "If we go back and put this thing in Her Majesty's temporary palace, she will be very happy. ."

Robb smiled and said: "It's not just for the queen, right? You must have seen the mayor's collection of money from the dark church, smelled business opportunities, and wanted to build this thing in the lost city and the road of light, Tsk tsk, with the population base of Lost City and Bright Road, after the waterworks are built, it can make a lot of money, and it will become one of Her Majesty's most important sources of military spending. I heard that Her Majesty is implementing it in many villages and towns Tax-free, and the tax-free thing will be avoided for two or three years, if she doesn't think about how to make money, she is going to die."

The faces of the two businessmen showed embarrassment: "Sure enough, there is nothing to hide from Mr. Robert, you are really right, Her Majesty the Queen is not short of military spending for the time being, but after two or three years of tax exemption, it will definitely be short. Military spending is gone, but even so, we can’t stop tax exemptions, so…cough…cough…we need to find some national-level revenue-generating methods.”

Waterworks are without a doubt a national revenue-generating method!

This kind of thing can still be done by the mayor in a small village, but in a giant city like Bright Road with a population of hundreds of thousands, it is impossible to play without the state. This is a typical example of the state. to make money.

Robb said with a smile: "Okay, then let me give you some ideas... First of all, I have to warn you that it is impossible to rely on a water tower to supply the entire road of light, such a water tower is impossible with current technology. Implemented. You need to partition the city first..."

Having said that, Robb turned the goose feather fan and used the handle of the fan to paint a city on the ground. Then he drew a few horizontal and vertical lines to cut the city into large pieces. Then he drew a water tower logo in the center of these blocks, and said with a smile: "First calculate how many people a water tower can supply with drinking water, then divide the city into many districts according to the population, and build a water tower in each district."

"Each water tower is managed by a separate team." Robb said with a smile: "All employees are divided into several categories. One is the management team, which is responsible for managing all the operational matters of the water tower. The second is the operation team, which is responsible for pumping and supplying water towers. Fill it up. The third is the maintenance team, where the pipes are broken, the faucet is broken, and they must be repaired immediately. The fourth is the promotion team. The promotion team goes door-to-door to persuade everyone to install water pipes, bargain for charges, etc... "

After speaking, Robb took the goose feather fan back and fanned himself slowly: "Do you understand?"

The two businessmen gave Robb a big gift on the spot: "Sir, what a genius! Listening to what you said, the vague concept in our minds suddenly became clear. You are truly an extraordinary genius and hero! We On behalf of Her Majesty the Queen, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to you. After returning, we will immediately start construction in the Bright Road and the Lost City, starting from the wealthy area and gradually spreading it to the whole city."

"It's easy to talk about it, it's more rewarding than rewarding." Robb said with a smile: "Since you have decided to build a water tower, then I have a small suggestion. You should not know how to build a water tower, lead a water pipe, and make a faucet on the road of light. However, I have a lot of such talents in Xifeng Town. The plasterers and blacksmiths here all know these skills. I suggest that you send a big car and pay a lot of money to hire plasterers and blacksmiths in Xifeng Town. , go to instruct your craftsmen to make water towers, the remuneration can't be low, and after the instructions, send a cart to bring them back."

The two businessmen were overjoyed and said, "Mr. Robert even helped us figure out the talent issue. Thank you Mr. Robert for your kindness."
