The soldiers were at a loss of what to do. If it was the Deputy Mayor, he might still be a little rebellious, but now that the Deputy Mayor was dead, they really did not know who he was going to fight for.
Furthermore, Hua Ruge was the legitimate master of this city, their Lord.
As a result, some people put down their bows and arrows. One of them had a second arrow, while the other arrow had a second arrow.
"Clang clang clang!"
The sound of metal hitting the ground continuously rang out from all around him, until finally, they all dropped their weapons.
"Very good." Hua Ruge praised: "Follow the ability master, I guarantee that you will have meat to eat, wine to drink, and a wife to marry."
Those noble words would only make everyone feel estranged. Instead of being like this, it would be better to be close to the people.
These so-called ruffians, these soldiers were like half hooligans. Upon hearing Hua Ruge's words, they immediately laughed out loud.
"Lei Tao." Hua Ruge shouted.
Lei Tao knelt down on one knee and said: "Lord, please give me your instructions."
"I order you to be the vice commander of the entire army. The army will be overseen by your assistant commander."
"Yes sir!" Lei Tao was overwhelmed by the favor.
Everyone knew that Hua Ruge was training his trusted aides, and the reason he was not directly conferred the title of commander was because he was afraid that if he failed to convince the masses, it would cause internal strife, and no one would be able to find fault with that.
Then, Hua Ruge pointed to the god-like body of the Deputy Mayor, and said: "And this thing, hang it on the city wall with the Tax Officer, let those mounted gangsters have a good look."
Everyone was shocked. She had yet to gain a foothold in the city and she wanted to brazenly provoke the mounted gangsters?
Isn't this too arrogant!
Lei Tao was already used to it, so he quickly accepted the order and let the people below do it.
After that, Lei Tao led the majority of the soldiers and left, cleaning up the military affairs and settling down the city's defenses.
As for Hua Ruge, he brought over ten barbarians and over a hundred soldiers to the occupied City Lord's Mansion.
There were some sensible people in the army who had already chased out the Deputy Mayor's family members and servants in advance. Listening to his orders, when Hua Ruge arrived, all that was left was an empty house.
Hua Ruge silently sighed at the power he felt, he didn't need himself to say anything, there were always people who wanted to flatter him first.
The Deputy Mayor in the mansion had probably been rebuilt, the red brick and green tiles were meticulous, looking very imposing.
Hua Ruge ordered everyone to search the house, and he walked around inside.
While raiding the house, the barbarians were completely dumbfounded, because the floor here was made of jade, the screen was gold, the floor was covered with a colorful tiger skin carpet, it was extremely luxurious, and it looked like a refined place was built with hard work. The garden was very stylish, and if one could live here, it would be a type of extreme enjoyment.
Hua Ruge then ordered all the valuable things to be taken out.
Tark asked in puzzlement: "These are all good things, will Lord still be buying more after moving out?"
Hua Ruge strolled around the garden and did not answer.
So the barbarians had to move.
The commoners outside could not understand why the new Lord did not like these good things.
The house was huge, Hua Ruge had a lot of people, and they even moved for the whole morning.
Hua Ruge continued to move out a chair to sit on the outside, and then the men and women all gathered around him. One, to see what these things that he had never seen before, and two, to see what the Lord, which could even clean up Deputy Mayor, looked like.
Ever since they saw Hua Ruge's face, everyone felt that this Lord must have been sent by the heavens to save everyone. Otherwise, why would he look so good?
Hua Ruge ate some snacks and drank some tea outside before finally moving everything to the City Lord's Mansion. This time, he copied out tens of millions of stolen money.
The commoners exclaimed in admiration, but Hua Ruge did not even look at them, only saying, "Carry him away, we will confiscate him."
Then he turned to leave.
Tark immediately asked: "Are you not living here?"
"I forgot to mention it." Hua Ruge seemed to have just recalled something, as he said to Tark: "Let's flatten this place out, I want to build a new mansion."
"Hua!"
The commoners were stunned when they heard this, this was a mansion that was constructed with a huge sum of money, all these years there were many city lords, it could be said to be extremely luxurious, the Deputy Mayor was taken over because of their desire.
The new Lord was actually looking down on him?
You even want to tear it down and rebuild it? How much would that cost?
"Lord, why did you tear it down?" Tark asked without giving up.
"Too lousy, it doesn't suit my taste at all." Hua Ruge said with a look of disdain.
Then the people were completely thunderstruck.
Could it be that the Lord really came from the heavens?
After that, Hua Ruge went straight to the city lord's yamen, cleaned up the officials, and issued two orders after he had taken office:
"The first one is the duty-free order. From today onwards, Ancient Dragon City farming will be exempt from taxes for five years. The shop will be exempt from taxes for three years. During this time, the citizens will not be charged any taxes."
Ancient Dragon City was a huge city, but because it had been deserted for so many years, there were very few people here, so it was extremely difficult to develop it.
This way, the number of people who cultivated would increase, and there would also be more people who opened shops to do business.
This place was near the Profound Beast Forest, and had always been a place that adventurers had to pass through. Before entering the Profound Beast Forest, one needed weapons and equipment, and once they exited, they would have spoils of war in their hands.

As long as he opened up the face of this place, he would definitely prosper in the future.
"The second one is the Order of Equality. All living beings have the same position in the Ancient Dragon City, and foreign races and commoners have the same rights and interests. If a foreign race opens a shop in the city, there will be a special subsidy within three years. "
Hua Ruge discovered that there were huge markets for the different races, such as spirit technique items for the elves, armor for the dwarves, and the exquisite ornaments for the Wingman.
As long as these foreign races were willing to open shops here, the people of the continent would definitely flock to them. It would be even easier to develop Ancient Dragon City, she predicted that the entire business district would mature in three years, and at that time, it would be hard for her to not earn a lot.
After these two orders were issued, everyone in Ancient Dragon City boiled over, as they all suspected that what they saw was real.
They had never heard of a city that didn't collect taxes, let alone one that didn't collect taxes for so many years.
After confirming countless times and receiving accurate responses from the soldiers, the citizens were so moved that they started crying. They never thought that the new Lord would be able to take off the heavy burden on them.
Hence, they became even more convinced that the Lord must have been sent by the heavens to save them.
At this moment, Hua Ruge was wearing a long white robe as she stood on top of the city wall, looking down at the cheering citizens.
