Li Aili arranged for the lawyer to stay in a newly built luxury hotel.
Invite the top lawyer to experience the presidential suite, where a single night costs 500 gold coins.
Of course, I don't actually want that money.
The room price list was simply displayed at the front desk.
While checking in, the senior lawyer looked up at the price list and exclaimed:
“I always thought that we Tankar elves were professionals when it came to robbing people. But today, I’ve seen someone even more professional.”
Li Aili said expressionlessly, "Thank you for the compliment."
Before parting ways, Panticillin called out to Li Aili.
"By the way, Miss Ellie, there's something I can give you as a bonus for this collaboration."
Li Aili paused upon hearing this.
“Around the world, many prominent businessmen are selling off their assets.”
Panticillin said meaningfully, "Miss Ellie, I'm afraid the era of peace is about to end."
After saying that, Panticil picked up the suitcase and bowed slightly to Li Aili as a courtesy.
Then, he followed the hotel's goblin doorman to the luxurious presidential suite to compile the Emerald City Code.
Li Aili took Panticilin's words to heart.
Perhaps she should go to Tankar soon and discuss the future with her brother-in-law.
...
In the afternoon, Li Aili inspected the three business streets.
Basically, by around 11 a.m., all the shops that were open on the three shopping streets had put up signs saying "sold out".
Tom and Jack were both taken aback by the massive crowd.
Of course, most people who come here are not interested in their shoes, hats, and socks.
Tom and Old Jack, along with several other merchants, mainly entertained goblins from the territory and the native inhabitants of the Black Street.
The knights' wives loved beautiful silks, as well as the latest styles of clothing and skirts.
However, the owners of these shops were not optimistic about Tankar before.
But after this shopping festival, some discerning businesspeople will surely realize the allure of Emerald City.
“Your Highness…” Joanna followed behind Li Aili.
Honestly, she wasn't happy.
Because Li Aili had previously promised that she would cover the price difference during the shopping festival.
After the shopping festival, shop owners can come to the castle to collect subsidies by presenting discount coupons from the newspaper.
When Li Aili looked up, she could see the 'bubble' on Joanna's head that was about to burst.
Clearly, this finance officer (in reserve) was heartbroken over the loss of these gold coins.
Li Aili found it somewhat amusing, but also thought it was a great opportunity to teach this 'financial officer' a lesson.
"Joanna, are you feeling bad about the gold coins you spent on the shopping festival?"
"Ah! This... Your Highness, I was absolutely not questioning your orders."
“But…” Joanne looked at the various pedestrians on the street, hesitating to speak.
Li Aili joked to herself, "I thought that in your eyes, I might not be the most brilliant lord, but at least I should be a lord who is good at accepting opinions."
Joanna quickly replied, "You are too modest, Your Highness. You are the wisest lord."
She hesitated for a moment, but still mustered up her courage and said, "I just feel that these people are only here to take advantage of us."
"Perhaps, they will come again this time next year..."
"But...look at these people, many of them are dressed in fine clothes, they must have quite a lot of wealth elsewhere."
"I think such people are unlikely to move away from the city they live in easily."
Indeed, many people in the crowd were wearing gorgeous dresses or aristocratic coats inlaid with jewels and embroidered with exquisite embroidery.
Li Aili nodded after listening.
She glanced at the time; it should be 3 p.m.
The festival celebrations begin at 6 o'clock, and the fireworks show starts at 8 o'clock.
However, in order to deal with any unexpected situation, Ba Jin lit some fireworks in advance.
We must present an even more spectacular show tonight.
But she wasn't in a hurry; she already had a plan in mind.
"Ah, let's go to the investment promotion office that Sophia is in charge of now and see what the results are today."
A few days ago, when Li Aili assigned this task to Sofia.
Joanna thought that Sofia had not gained His Highness's trust enough, which was why she was assigned such a sinecure.
But now it seems...not?
Li Aili and Joanna arrived at the municipal hall built in the third phase of the project.
Sofia works in one of these offices.
Joanna remembered that it should be the rightmost office on the east side of the second floor.
But at this point, she couldn't care less about any of that.
Joanna was completely stunned by what she saw.
A long queue stretched out from the city hall.
"Your Highness!" she exclaimed, "Why are there so many people here?"
Seeing this scene, Li Aili realized that the money she had spent was not wasted.
"Let's go inside and take a look."
Everyone was assigned their own tasks during the shopping festival, and Joanna was unaware of the things that Li Aili had asked Sophia to do.
Similarly, Sofia was unaware of the tasks assigned to Joanna.
These knight ladies had many ideas about the future municipal official positions in Emerald City.
There was an underlying political campaign tension between them.
This is good; healthy workplace competition will only benefit the lord.
Enter the hall.
One area in the hall was unusually heated; Sofia's sister, Rhea, had simply stood on a chair, holding an arcane megaphone, and was shouting at the top of her lungs:
