Chapter 128 (1/2)
“What choice do we have e’re out of h, people will start to take it as a birthright It’s about that ti to relish themselves in the charity, so we should buckle up now Continue to operate the schools free of charge and try to minimise healthcare and hospital expenses Also, the food banks are to operate within each district as it always has, but make sure you do a proper survey—only allow those who truly lack the ability toelse?”
Now that he had decided to put on a reed, he needed to first demonstrate a departure from his carefree administration
Cordnell was so of the funds, but it wasn’t a bad thing
“U to leave the syndicate bosses as they are?”
“Why, are you bothered by them?”
“T, that’s not it It just seems pointless to still operate in districts when the entire city has becoes Tell the bosses tothe whole thing anyway?”
The reason why Syndicate bosses willingly paid their fees was because Soland had risen above them as the Godfather
Dinozo had retired and handed over his district to Soland long ago Milena had also become a devout follower of Isaac, but she had earlierfavoured by Isaac due to his, so she had lowered her head to Soland soo
“But the disparity between the central district and other districts is too large Those who are seeking to rate to the central…”
Isaac frowned and cut Cordnell off rate? What bullshi+t is this?”
“The citizens, I rate to Ceta District…”
“I thought I talked about that in the beginning There won’t be any changes”
“What? But you just can’t lilared at Cordnell, irritated by his objection
“Tsk! I’m the owner of this land If they don’t like it, tell theu’s within their lands Allowing freedom to move was an effective policy only if the Lord wished to prevent eration fro searching for a way to keep their people on their lands, as e didn’t matter for Isaac
He wasn’t the kind to care if he had any subjects in the first place Which is why it was the subjects who had to make a choice: stay and tolerate the tyranny or leave
“In fact, get as rate This place isn’t suitable to raise upright children anyway”
“… Yes We’ll give it a try”
Though Cordnell was dumbfounded by Isaac’s order to kick out as many citizens as possible, he quickly realised that New Port City benefited more from it
When he esti e, the revenue wastaxes fro in the same area
“What else is there?”
“When will you disband the mercenaries corps?”
“Why would I disband them?”
“All they do for work is eat, sleep andAnd I swear, they are absolute gluttons when it co here when they don’t even get paid”
“Aren’t any of the service toin the contract”
“There wereat the start, but they’ve recently latched onto a possibility that they’ll become a professional army, so none of them have left recently”
“Professional army? What kind of bullshi+t is that?”
Isaac acted unfamiliar to the subject, and Cordnell cocked his head in intrigue
“Since you were officially titled land, you may need soldiers to protect it no matter how small…”
“Why would I operate a h?”
Cordnell’s eyes gleahts on operating a professional arht you said we don’t have reat decision! Then I shall disband thethe mercenaries had been a painful experience for Cordnell, who had realized just how costly a ardless of its size He couldn’t hide his joy when Isaac stated his refusal towith joy
“How many members are still in the band?”
“Around 300”
“300, that’s quite a lot Who is their leader?”
“I’m not sure I’ve only looked at the documents…”
“Since ere the ones who made this, it’s a shame to disband them completely, but it’s a hassle to leave them like this too… How about this, ill cancel the policies and benefits provided by the city fro onto any false hopes, because I’ a professional army Those who don’t like it can leave, and those who still wish to stay will need to fend for the for the mercenaries to use”
Cordnell pondered for a moment and then nodded at Isaac’s order
