With the appearance of the "New Lord", Lin Chi's prestige increased by 2,000 points again, and the name in his attribute column also changed from "Young Lord of Yanfeng City" to "Lord of Yanfeng City".

In addition, when he took office again, the lord's special skills were also upgraded:

Lord mode (level 2):

When you are on the throne of the lord, you can check the army and internal affairs of your subordinates, and you can quickly issue instructions through the messenger.

In addition, within the Yanfeng City, you can check the military and internal affairs at any time, but you can issue instructions quickly only if you are equipped with a commander or beside your target subordinates.

Realizing that I could check the territorial attributes now and was still riding a horse, Lin Chi directly opened up the order situation, and saw that the original "more chaotic" situation disappeared, replaced by "balance".

Order status: balance.

As the new lord took office, the citizens' emotions tended to stabilize.

"Ha, it's normal finally."

Temporarily alleviated the chaos in the city, Lin Chi returned to Yanfeng Palace, checked the financial situation of Yanfeng City, and then sent a messenger to call the Minister of Finance to his palace.

"There are still 500,000 gold coins in the current treasury?"

"Yes, Lord Lord." The Chancellor's fat belly kept shaking, and his whole body looked like a ball.

"For a territory of the size of Yanfeng City, is it a bit too much to leave 500,000 gold coins?" Lin Chi narrowed his eyes and stared at the spherical face of the Chancellor of the Exchequer: "There is no need to save so much."

"Lord, you don't understand this. We need to make a long-term plan..." The Chancellor wiped his hands on his clothes.

"There is no need to save so much money after long-term planning, right?" Lin Chi said without any mercy: "I decided to take out half of the storage funds, that is, 250,000 gold coins, to repair the infrastructure in the city and help the poor outside the city get out of poverty. Is it okay?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Minister of Finance immediately shook his head: "Lord, if you do this, you will cause the national treasury to be deficient..."

"Is that so? I think there are quite a lot of taxes every year." Lin Chi smiled and said, "Since you are already levied heavily, if you don't spend more money, the people will probably be dissatisfied?"

"This is for the treasury..."

Seeing that the Minister of Finance wanted to argue, Lin Chi was too lazy to continue talking nonsense to him, so he just waved and called the commemorative officer:

"Go and call the engineer over."

In Yanfeng City, the engineering master is equivalent to the ancient "Shangshi of the Ministry of Works" and other positions, specializing in civil engineering construction and the construction of various large-scale projects in the city.

Not long after, a tall and thin man in a light green gown quickly walked into the main hall of Yanfeng Palace, and his body shape contrasted sharply with the Minister of Finance beside him.

The man's long hair was shoulder-to-shoulder. Although his hair was much white, his thin face was very energetic, and he didn't look like he was about to enter his twilight years.

Lin Chi activates the Lord's Eye, and the other party's name and attribute value will immediately appear in sight:

Role name: "Engineering Master" Mr. Chen.

Strength: 25.

Agility: 27.

Endurance: 95.

Lucky: 13.

Can be taught: body transformation of the mechanism, ancient mechanism technology.

"Lord."

The engineer bowed respectfully and looked up at the lord on the throne. When he saw the familiar face, he widened his eyes in surprise:

"Young Master? I thought you had already..."

"I'm fine." Lin Chi lightly mentioned this topic, picked up the document "The Construction of the Canal in Yanfeng City" and asked: "You should be responsible for the canal that is being dug in the city, right?"

"Yes." The engineer nodded immediately, his waist straightened, and he faced the "resurrected" young master with neither humility nor arrogant attitude: "Since you have not given further orders, the canal is temporarily suspended."

It is completely different from the Chancellor of the Finance Department. The master of engineering is like a typical loyal minister, and he is a very hard bone. This person always speaks straightforwardly and makes his own needs without hesitation:

"Young master, please let me report to you that this canal is of great significance to Yanfeng City. As long as the canal is dug, the trade between Yanfeng City and nearby friendly countries will become more convenient. We can also develop the navy smoothly."

"I think the navy in the city is not very good now." Lin Chi opened the statistics of Yanfeng Army and took a look. There were only a pitiful dozen people in the navy, and even a small warship could not be controlled.

"Because the wide river waters nearby are all on the land of other lords." The engineer responded: "You should have looked at the map. The natural waters we control are extremely small and we cannot develop a naval army at all, but as long as we have this canal..."

"I understand." Lin Chi nodded: "I allow you to continue digging the canal. In addition, as long as you can speed up the progress, the funds invested this time will be more, 50,000 gold coins. What do you think?"

"If we increase these funds, we can hire hundreds of more workers, and the excavation equipment can also be improved, which is enough to greatly increase the speed." The master's voice showed unconcealed joy.

"Fifty thousand gold coins are too many..." The Chancellor of the Finance Department immediately raised an objection.

"I think that as long as the canal can play a role, you can make the money back through business and trade." Lin Chi looked at the red face of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and said with interest: "You should understand the principle of 'Long-term planning' better than me, right?"

"……All right."

The Chancellor of the Finance Department could not refute, so he could only nod his head gasping heavily, looking very angry.

"Then I'll organize the workers to restart the work immediately." The engineer was not vague and was about to turn around and leave as he said.

"Wait a moment."

Looking at the other party teaching two names in the skill column, Lin Chi called out the engineering master who was about to leave and asked: "Do you have any research on ancient mechanisms?"

As soon as he heard this topic, Shen Wenchong, who had originally had a serious expression, immediately stomped his feet restlessly.

The engineer turned around and said softly: "Young Master, I have studied ancient mechanisms. But I'm sorry, with my current technology, I cannot create the key equipment of ancient mechanisms: Feng Shui engines."

"Can't you even make it?" Shen Wenchong couldn't help but speak: "I thought you could restore the ancient Feng Shui engine..."

"I encountered a technical difficulty that cannot be broken through." The engineer shook his head: "I cannot create a Feng Shui engine that can operate for a long time. If I can find a complete ancient Feng Shui engine, it is possible to break through this difficulty and create available finished products."

"Do you know where to find a complete ancient Feng Shui engine?" Lin Chi asked.

The engineer was silent for a moment and sighed long:

"Forget it, young master, I don't want to cause disputes."
