I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.
Chapter 522 The New Official Takes Office
For the two days since arriving in Kuala Lumpur, Anno has been learning about the relevant matters within the city.
If I had to describe it, this city is somewhat similar to the city that was previously governed by Count Werner.
Although it's a city of 100,000 people, it lacks vitality.
Aside from soldiers, there are only a few hundred professionals.
The strongest professional mentor in the city is only level 20.
Moreover, the former lord, being a nobleman, did not have a very good attitude towards the people.
The most obvious example is the various taxes.
Because of the high taxes, apart from a few merchants, very few businessmen come here to do business—this is actually a common problem among the nobility.
In fact, because Kelai City has been developing better and better recently, many people from Klang Valley who are willing to venture out have gone to Kelai City to seek development.
After Anno arrived here, he naturally wouldn't continue doing that.
Although he had no experience in managing cities, he knew that only frequent trade and the flow of people could lead to development.
It is clearly a fairly rich territory, with enough resources to support a city like Selangor with a population of 200,000, yet it has not developed and grown over the years.
However, Anno only provided general guidelines for the new policies for the city's residents, leaving the specifics to Ella and the butler to discuss.
In addition, Anno also sent his soldiers to the surrounding villages to spread the news of the new lord's appointment.
Within three days, the people of Xuelong City and the surrounding territories basically knew that the newly appointed lord was named Anno, a seventh-tier summoner!
A powerful lord gives his subjects a great sense of security.
Moreover, as the news spread, Anno was even portrayed as a dragon knight.
But they worried that Anno would end up like the previous lords.
In response to this situation, on the fourth day at noon, Anno gave an inaugural speech in the city's central square, explaining the tax reduction policy to the public.
Anno didn't drop too drastically, only falling 20% below the average.
Even so, the general public began to erupt in excitement.
Because the previous lord's various taxes all exceeded the average by 30%!
In other words, the area around Kuala Lumpur and Selangor is quite good, with abundant resources, so people don't go hungry every day.
But it's true that after a hard day's work, ordinary people can only barely make ends meet.
Meanwhile, the butler set up the Adventurers' Guild in a location in the city's central square area and recruited a group of staff.
Those solo adventurers who had long heard of the Adventurers' Guild couldn't wait to register as adventurers.
Of course, there are also mercenaries in the city.
However, these mercenaries are not on the same scale as those in the royal city; they are all composed of low-level professionals.
Upon hearing that the lord was the legendary leader of the Adventurers' Guild, they immediately rushed to the guild to register as an adventurer team.
In any case, having the identity of an adventurer and being able to enjoy the benefits of the Adventurers' Guild doesn't affect these mercenaries at all.
In just one day, hundreds of professionals in the city were transformed into adventurers.
Newly established guilds require an adjustment period, as adventurers need to adapt to various rules.
As for Anno, the lord, he began to consider issuing various commissions to the guild.
That's simple. Adelaide and Liz have been patrolling the skies over the territory for the past few days.
Liz recorded the locations of various monsters within her territory, and even the locations of some bandits.
Those that posed a significant threat to villages and towns were all eliminated by Liz.
The remaining less powerful ones were all written up as commissions and placed in the guild by Anno to train adventurers.
These small commissions don't cost much at all.
Moreover, Anno earned a lot of money during his time in the Dwarf Kingdom.
Anno still has tens of millions of gold coins in his possession.
Although it looks like a lot, tens of millions of gold coins isn't too much if you want to expand your city.
However, Anno did not intend to develop Kelung into a city like the royal city of Sodar.
Moreover, as long as Kuala Lumpur develops, it can continuously generate wealth for Anno.
"My lord, the professional mentors from within the city have been brought here."
After a few days of adjustment, Ella has gradually adapted to her new identity.
When meeting Anno in public, address Anno as Lord.
He only calls for Master Anno at night when no one is around.
Anno, sitting in her office processing various documents, replied without looking up, "Let them in."
Less than two minutes after Ella left, several professionals with their heads bowed and backs bent came in.
Upon seeing Anno, the group said respectfully, "Lord, we have submitted an application to headquarters to have them send more capable instructors to serve in Xuelong City."
These individuals are all at the third tier of strength, which is already among the top tier of professionals in Xuelong City.
However, in Anno's opinion, their strength was far too weak.
The quality of a city's professional mentors is also an important factor in attracting talent.
The higher the level of the mentor, the better it is at retaining local talent and preventing them from leaving, while also attracting professionals from other areas to the Klang Valley.
In other cities, you can only learn Tier 3 skills.
In Xuelong City, one can learn fourth-tier, and even fifth-tier and sixth-tier skills.
When professionals reach a bottleneck in their skills and want to improve, they will naturally flock to Kuala Lumpur and Selangor.
Even if these people come to Klang Valley just to learn a skill, they can still contribute to the city, since learning a skill also costs money.
Of these tuition fees, the professional mentors will keep a portion to maintain their daily expenses, and another portion will be handed over to the Temple of the Six Gods. As the lord, Anno will also receive 20% as tax.
After putting down the documents in his hand, Anno looked up at the group and said with a smile, "I just had someone talk to you about the development of professionals yesterday, and you've already made arrangements today. You're quite efficient."
The six professional mentors gave an awkward laugh.
They wouldn't want to do that if they could.
Being a mentor in the city allows you to earn a lot of money without fighting monsters.
They stood out from hundreds of competitors for this comfortable job.
But yesterday, Anno sent soldiers to them, asking if they could teach anyone who wanted to learn intermediate skills.
All six of them had the same thought: Oh no, we're going to lose our jobs!
These third-tier professional mentors are utterly useless at teaching intermediate skills.
Anno's meaning was clear: he thought their level was too low and wanted to replace them.
Even though they knew this in their hearts, they didn't dare to refuse.
The person who spoke was not only a lord, but also a high-level expert.
Going against Anno is like an old man hanging himself – he's had enough of living!
......
At the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city suddenly saw a convoy appear on the official road.
There were also many adventurer soldiers protecting both sides of the convoy.
"Whose convoy is that?"
"Judging by the banner, it's Viscount Reno of Gladwell!"
The two soldier captains exchanged a glance, then waited for the convoy to slowly approach.
