"The recent poverty alleviation task is really the top priority. We must do everything we can to help the orcs win the battle against poverty and reduce the number of poor households and low-income households in the lower city of the Arcane City. This is a major issue related to the stability of the city's foundation and long-term development." A middle-aged civil servant with a resolute face and enthusiastic eyes spoke first. He frowned slightly as he walked, and seemed to be thinking about the next poverty alleviation plan in his mind. "Those orcs, although most of them are now working in factories and their lives have improved, some families are still facing difficulties in getting out of poverty due to reasons such as old age, weakness, illness and disability. We must provide precise assistance to each household, from employment training, medical assistance to children's education, and no link can be left behind."
The young colleague next to him nodded repeatedly and responded, "Yes, I am currently following up with several Orc families in need. There is one family whose elderly is bedridden all year round and whose children are young. They all rely on the meager income earned by the head of the family in the factory. I contacted the magician medical team in the city to provide free medical services on a regular basis, and also helped the children apply for scholarships, hoping to help relieve some of their pressure."
Another group of civil servants talked about the condolence work: "We have to take time out these days to visit the older generation of heroes and retired teachers in the Arcane City. They have made great contributions to the construction and development of this city, and we must not let them down. We must carefully prepare some condolences, understand their life needs, and let them feel the city's respect and care for them."
The speaker was a female civil servant with gentle eyes. In her hand, she was holding a notebook with names and notes written all over it. "I heard that there are several retired teachers who still care about education. If we can ask them to tell the younger generation about their past struggles and inspire the children, it would be a win-win situation."
"We must not let down our guard in production safety!" A burly civil servant in charge of production supervision raised his voice with a serious expression. "Although the factories in the lower city have updated their equipment and standardized their processes, accidents can still happen if we are not careful. I have been running to the factories every day recently to check whether the magic protection devices are operating normally and whether the workers are strictly following the operating specifications. I am exhausted, but this concerns the lives of countless workers and we cannot be careless at all."
As he spoke, he gestured with his hands, as if he was directing a safety inspection operation on the spot.
The work of cracking down on gangsters and eliminating evil must be continuously advanced. Our Arcane City has become prosperous, and it is inevitable that some lawless elements will want to take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. Although those gang members have become much more honest, there are still undercurrents beneath the calm surface. "A sharp-eyed civil servant in law enforcement uniform answered, "The underground mahjong parlor that was busted a while ago had a complex network of forces behind it, involving many evil gangs hiding in the dark."
"It is urgent to conduct a disciplinary inspection. If there are problems internally, how can we serve the citizens efficiently?" The last civil servant adjusted his glasses and said solemnly, "I have received some feedback that some departments are slow in handling affairs and taking bribes. This must be strictly investigated, the work style must be rectified, and the overall image of our civil service team must be improved to win the trust and support of the citizens."
Everyone was talking in the corridor, rushing to every corner of the city with their mission to contribute to the continued prosperity, harmony and stability of the Arcane City. The future of this city is also filled with infinite hope in their busy figures and firm beliefs.
Merlin sat quietly in the conference room, seemingly resting with his eyes closed, but in fact, with his powerful perception ability, he took in every word of the conversation between the group of civil servants outside.
Listening to their heated discussion of various important matters, Merlin pondered in his heart, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, realizing that his various "efforts" in recent days have been quite effective, and this group of people can be said to have been "trained" enough.
Although there would still be occasional bribery among his subordinates, as long as it was harmless and did not affect the fundamentals of the construction and development of the Arcane City, he would turn a blind eye and not mind those below taking advantage of the opportunity. After all, if the water is too clear, there would be no fish. As long as the overall situation could be kept stable, some minor corruption would not be a problem within his control.
At this time, only Merlin and Electrolux were left in the meeting room. Electrolux walked forward, with a flattering and concerned look on his face, and said to Merlin in a hard-working tone: "President Merlin, you have been so busy during this period. You have been busy all the time, taking care of all the matters of the Arcane Academy and worrying about the development of the Arcane City. I feel so sad when I see you."
Alex's tone was very sincere, and his eyes were full of respect for Merlin, as if Merlin was the pillar supporting the Arcane City.
Merlin didn't comment when he heard what Alex said.
In fact, no one knows better than him that he lives a more relaxed and comfortable life than anyone else.
In the Arcane City, all the complicated, trivial and complicated tasks were basically "arranged" by him skillfully to Electrolux. Electrolux was busy all day long, running around to coordinate matters of all parties.
On the other hand, the daily operations and management of the Arcane Academy were also managed diligently by two capable vice presidents, and he, as the nominal president, only needed to step forward occasionally to control the general direction.
Even the seemingly abstruse book "Merlin's Thoughts on Governing the City in the New Era", which is now a headache for many civil servants, was actually written by Merlin with the help of Stacy. He just signed his name at the end and reaped the benefits.
However, Merlin seemed to be really exhausted. He sighed softly, with an inexplicable worry in his tone: "Although the Arcane City is developing very rapidly now, and various businesses are thriving, and the scene is prosperous, I always have a bad premonition in my heart. I always feel as if something big is going to happen. I can't even sleep well these days."
Merlin frowned slightly and looked out the window. His gaze seemed to penetrate the walls of the town hall and look towards the bustling and bustling yet mysterious city of arcane in the distance.
Upon hearing this, Alex hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to comfort Merlin, and said confidently, "President Merlin, please don't overthink it. This is the Arcane City, and next to it is the Academy of Magic. There are so many powerful teachers here, and there is even a demigod dean to support us. Who would dare to cause trouble here? Just relax and have a good rest."
