Chapter 15 Human Greed
Author: It’s really late at night
When Thanos arrived at the door of the mayor's mansion, four people who looked like security guards stopped him.
The security captain, who was leading the group, had a menacing look on his face and was about to speak when he suddenly noticed skeletons and zombies behind him.
Then the tone suddenly changed, and the words of exhortation turned into inquiries.
"This is the mayor's mansion. What can I do for you?"
Thanos frowned and said unhappily: "My name is Thanos, and I am the new mayor of Zixi Town."
The security captain who was headed by him was stunned when he heard this.
"Ah? Oh!"
When he heard that a new mayor had arrived, he suddenly didn't know what to do.
The order from above was for him to stop anyone approaching the mayor's mansion, but this did not include the mayor.
After all, he is nominally the biggest official in Zixi Town.
Just when the security captain didn't know what to do, a voice suddenly appeared from behind him.
"I heard in the morning that the new mayor had arrived. I thought the mayor would rest for a few days before coming back, but I didn't expect that he would come at noon. It's really rude."
As he finished speaking, a middle-aged man in his late fifties with a kind face and a big belly appeared.
When the security guards saw the middle-aged man appear, they immediately saluted respectfully.
"Dear Mr. Fernando, good afternoon."
Fernando nodded with a smile as a response, then turned to look at Thanos.
"This must be the newly appointed mayor. He looks so young. A hero comes from a young age."
Thanos ignored the other party and continued to walk forward, entering the dilapidated mayor's mansion.
Fernando was stunned when he saw that the other party ignored him.
But he reacted immediately.
The other party was ignoring him.
He was not angry about this, and was even a little happy.
What he fears most is that the new wizard's city is too deep and he cannot control it.
He was the best at dealing with this kind of wizard who showed both joy and anger.
After a while, he followed the skeletons and zombies and walked into the mayor's mansion, which was still under repair.
After half an hour.
With a sound of "Bang!", Thanos slammed a half-burned account book onto the table.
"You mean, not only this year's tax revenue, but also next year's tax revenue will be gone?"
After saying that, Thanos narrowed his eyes.
At this time, he was in the burned-down town lord's mansion. There were burnt marks everywhere, but the table in front of him was still intact.
There were three people in front of him. In addition to Fernando just now, there was also a white-headed old man named Marco, and a blond Luo woman named Sara.
Seeing Thanos's rage, Marco quickly explained: "Sir, of course the property stolen by the natives is not that much, but our losses are too great.
Not to mention anything else, it will cost 1,300 gold coins just to repair the mayor's mansion, as well as repair the city wall and the damage to the surrounding residents, update the ordnance, and purchase food, which are all huge expenses."
At this time, Sara also said: "According to our preliminary budget, even if we advance next year's taxes, it may not be able to smooth out our bills."
After hearing this, Thanos calmed down.
Purple Tin Town produces Purple Tin Ore, which is a resource used by wizards. The price is much higher than ordinary resource ores, so the tax cannot be lower.
It is even considered the best in the surrounding towns.
Otherwise, Peart wouldn't be thinking about Zixi Town's resources.
But in the eyes of these people, an indigenous invasion turned Zixi Town into a bottomless pit.
These people are really greedy.
But he likes it.
He is not afraid of others being greedy, but he is afraid that others are not greedy.
Because the other party is not greedy, it means that the intention is bigger.
This is not what he wants.
"Yes, the civilians must be well settled, and we must not let everyone go hungry. Food must be replenished in time. It doesn't matter if we spend more money."
Seeing Thanos' sudden change of attitude, Marco and Sara looked at each other, a little at a loss.
In fact, they have already discussed it secretly. If the other party is aggressive, they will give the other party some benefits.
In any case, the other party is the mayor personally appointed by Lord Mansta.
Although they each have their own backing, they still have to sell Mansta to save face.
Of course, if you give money to the other party, the other party will also have to pay a certain price. It is not free of charge.
Such as taxation power, legislative power, land rights, etc.
But I didn't expect that the other party would suddenly change their tone and no longer discuss resources.
At this time, Fernando still had a smiling expression on his face.
"For Mayor Thanos to think so, it is a blessing for the people of Zixi Town to have such a good mayor."
After hearing what Fernando said, Marco and Sara echoed: "What Administrator Fernando said is reasonable. Mayor Sanos is a role model for our generation. From today on, I will not ask for salary until the situation in Zixi Town improves."
."
When Sarah heard this, she immediately followed up and said: "Yes, yes, I also voluntarily suspended my salary until the civilians in Zixi Town can have enough to eat."
After hearing this, Thanos showed a meaningful smile and said: "Okay, there are three people here in Zixi Town, they will definitely be able to get through this difficulty."
After some compliments to each other, Thanos left with the skeletons and zombies.
After confirming that Thanos had really left, Sara immediately put away her smile and said with disdain: "I thought he was an old man, but he turned out to be a young boy."
Marco nodded in agreement and said: "And he looks quite young. He actually wants to see the tax situation on the first day. It's really naive."
Sarah smiled.
"Haha. That is, he is simply a thick-headed boy who knows nothing about the world."
After continuing to laugh for a while, Sara found that Fernando had not spoken, so she asked strangely: "What's wrong with you, you haven't spoken?"
Fernando shook his head and said calmly: "It's nothing, I must be overthinking."
