The monks moved quickly. Once the funds for the "Music Mutual Aid Society" were in place, the preparations for agricultural upgrades had already entered a intensive arrangement.

　　Purchase of agricultural species, livestock, and iron materials, confirmation of tool drawings, division of stocking sites, and measurement of sown land.

　　 As the work progressed, the leader of the monk, Joe Humphrey, approached Todd and raised the two problems they encountered.

　　 One is understaffed. The monks' agricultural planning requires a lot of laborers. Even if Todd has recruited a lot of farmers from the "Gospel Flower Workshop", for the monks, such a small amount of people is still a drop in the bucket. On the other hand, the recruitment effect of churches is not ideal. The unemployment rate in Muxi Town is extremely low, and everyone has endless jobs. Many industries in the town are in their infancy, and there are countless jobs that need to be hired. Some of the workshop owners who were short of hired workers even sent their ideas to the heterogeneous gathering area. They secretly contacted those heterogeneous species without knowing it, and offered superior recruitment conditions. Fortunately, they were finally stopped by Rachel in time.

　　The other is town planning. Animal husbandry areas, farming areas and wood forest areas require a suitable location plan. At present, Muxi Town does not even have a specific plan for the layout of the city. The residential area, industrial area, commercial area, and public construction area are mixed together and chaotically. Residents are still adopting a random way in building houses and using land. Regarding this point, one is because Todd has little experience in urban block design and land use planning; the other is because Muxi Town does not have an effective administrative system to manage it on his behalf. After understanding the situation, the monks discussed the situation and suggested that Todd borrow some city plans and floor plans from the San Sidro Monastery, planning to make adjustments to the town planning prior to the planning of the agricultural block.

Regarding these two issues, Todd discussed the opinions of the monks with Ritchell and others. He not only borrowed books on agriculture, town maps, and ancient Tyrolean from the monastery, but also adopted An export-oriented way of urban expansion.

　　 On the population issue, Todd uses low tax rates and self-cultivation land as a means of attracting people. Through the channels of internal church and business promotion, Todd once again absorbs the population on a large scale from the surrounding villages and towns of Muxi Town. This action attracted a large number of serfs and proletarians in just one month, and the latter adopted various methods to enter Muxi Town, either openly or secretly. But at the same time, Todd's relationship with the surrounding territorial nobles became worse.

　　 Regarding the issue of urban planning, before the monks formally proposed to Todd about the functional blocks and land use classification of Muxi Town, there happened to be a fire in the town. The cause was that sparks from the workshop fell into the haystack in the neighbor's house, which caused a fire. Because most of the houses in Muxi Town are wood and the roofs are connected together, the fire is getting bigger and bigger, burning most of the streets, and eventually causing three deaths, many injuries, and dozens of residents homeless. Todd took out a sum of money from the church’s holy treasury to help the victims, and this incident also strengthened his determination to make adjustments to town planning.

　　 At a sermon a week after the fire, Todd presided over Mass and announced the monks’ town plans.

　　 The new town plan is based on the original Muxi Town and has been extended by nearly two kilometers.

　　 The monks referred to the urban planning of Tyro’s capital during the heyday, and re-adjusted the original scattered city layout strictly in accordance with geometric figures, and brought a strong religious color to the Heavenly Father sect. The main street is designed exactly according to the direction of east, west, south and north and crosses the cross. The church of Muxi Town is located in the core of the city. Using the original "horizontal rangefinder" (also known as groma in the previous ancient Roman period) made by the monks, this tool enables the monks to accurately determine the north-south direction of the midpoint of the cross and use this as a basis to determine the street And a grid-like outline of the city.

　　 Under the strong request of Huggins and Alfonso, the main buildings on the cross axis of Muxi Town were set for military purposes. At the same time, at the request of the monk, Todd issued the first law of Muxi Town-Planning Law. This law, issued in the name of the Church and the Son, clearly stipulates the unified building height, street width, pavement, cleaning, maintenance, border adjustment, etc. in Muxi Town. It is even meticulous that to prevent traffic jams, it is stipulated that heavy-duty vehicles can only be used on the road at night, and the same prosperous shops should be located on narrow streets.

　　——————————————————

　　Blessings are unparalleled, and misfortunes never come singly.

　　 On the tenth day after the fire, the most serious conflict occurred in Muxi Town since the establishment of the town.

　　 The cause of the incident is very simple. An apprentice craftsman accidentally discovered iron ore purchased as raw material during iron smelting. Although the surface was dry, the raw material inside was much wetter than before. With a spirit of suspicion, he used the draining method on the iron ore, and unexpectedly found that the moisture in it reached one-fifth of the total weight. This also means that the raw material vendors of iron ore charge 20% more coins.

The apprentice reported the incident to the master craftsman. The latter was not sure at first whether it was a coincidence, so he told his friend about the incident. After returning to his workshop, the latter checked the iron material he had just purchased. I found out that my iron ore was also mixed with water.

More and more people discovered this deception. The angry craftsmen and apprentices, under the leadership of the industry veteran, Aiden Kerm, conducted a three-hour negotiation with the small town’s mineral vendors. .

　　 In the end, the merchants' ugly faces and shameless rhetoric completely angered the craftsmen and apprentices. The two sides went from quarreling to pushing and pushing, and finally evolved into a weapon fight.

　　The fighting continued until Hudgens led the guards and was forcibly terminated. According to incomplete statistics, about 120 people participated in this conflict. Four people died (one craftsman, one apprentice, and two businessmen guards), 7 people were seriously injured and disabled, and countless minor injuries.

　　 After the incident, Todd personally presided over the public trial meeting in the square in front of the church. By comparing the merchant account book and the workshop receipt, he found several witnesses who touched the "Bible" and confided the truth in front of the cross. Let this incident, which people call the "Blood Mine Conflict," be properly handled.

　　 The shoddy merchants were sentenced to compensate for all the losses of the workshop, pay the deceased’s pension and funeral expenses, and cancel their business qualifications in Muxi Town.

　　 After the incident was dealt with, Todd called for monk Joe, Richel, Huggins, Alfonso and others to analyze the reasons. The final conclusion made him worried.

The population in the town is increasing and the gap between the rich and the poor is increasing. The conflicts among residents rely on the community elders and guild leaders, which have gradually been unable to reconcile; on the other hand, due to the unique management method of Muxi Town-the land is owned by the church knights It is owned by the regiment, without the jurisdiction of the secular kingdom, and the administrative institutions and management methods are gradually losing their effectiveness. That's why such a big conflict can happen.

　　 The impact of "Blood Mine Conflict" on Muxi Town is huge. In the short term, it directly led to the birth of two new things.

　　 The first one is the industry association. Different from industry alliances where members in the industry relied on the influence of industry leaders in the past, the composition and contact of members are relatively loose; the new industry association is a close organization with a complete organizational structure, regulations, membership rules, and goal requirements.

　　It has four main functions.

　　 One, economic function. Among industry members, share market information and the latest information, and when receiving large orders, subcontract them to members based on scale and reputation.

　　 2. Religious functions. Serve as a communication and management tool for Muxi Town Church, and promote and strengthen the faith of members.

　　 3. Relief function. Each member regularly pays a small amount of funds to set up an industry reserve fund. When a member suffers losses due to force majeure, it can help it continue to operate. (Somewhat similar to industry insurance)

　　 Fourth, judicial functions. Coordinate the relationship between members and other guilds, and set up a department similar to the industry court to deal with related matters.

　　 The second new thing is the "Holy Order Arbitration Tribunal". This is a rather special institution, and it was established only for the special circumstances of Muxi Town. At the suggestion of monk Joe and Ritchell, Todd decided to return the jurisdiction to the Knights in order to ensure the security of the town and the implementation of laws and regulations, and specially established a new institution-"Holy Order Arbitration Tribunal", The president belongs to him in name. In fact, the two deputy presidents are in charge of specific affairs~lightnovelpub.net~ They are Joe Humphrey and Rachel. The former is mainly responsible for the management and reconciliation of the administrative affairs of the people in the town. The latter is mainly responsible for the handling and control of heterogeneous affairs.

　　 The "Holy Order Law Enforcement Corps" under the "Holy Order Arbitration Tribunal" is managed by Harkins. Its members are mainly catechumens and peasants, equipped with standard weapons, and have the right to mobilize town guards whenever necessary.

After dealing with agricultural upgrades, town planning, "Blood Mine Conflict", and the Holy Order Arbitration Tribunal, Todd finally had some time of his own. By calculation, it was time for the Papal State to publish the official document of the "Twilight Knights" Holy Tribe. Only one month left. He has an urgent matter that needs to be dealt with urgently, and that is to expand the main legion of the Twilight Knights as soon as possible to increase the military strength.

　　 He did a statistics. All the military forces that can be deployed in Muxi Town are really pitiful.

Alfonso rejected the "Dragonbone" parasites. Aside from him, the combat power his followers can provide is extremely limited. Although Rachel and those aliens have a fighting capacity that cannot be underestimated, they are due to the sensitivity of alien abilities. , They couldn't enter the battlefield at all, they could only serve as the last trump card of Muxi Town; the rest, who can truly form the Knights' combat power, are only Hudgens and his 12 sergeants.

　　 After some calculations, there are only 13 troops that the Knights can use...

　　 Let alone war with 13 people, I am afraid that even the basic formation can't be formed. It's time to recruit and expand the army of the Knights in Muxi Town.

　　 Todd frowned, and first wrote a line on the paper-"Expansion".

　　 Then, he wrote the second line-"Jing Bing".

　　The ability library has been established, why not try to convert all of Huggins' subordinates into "heirs"?
