System vs Rebirth

Chapter 1154: Finishing Arrangements "I see. I will take care of the market in the city to avoid further conflicts. In addition, we can also use the three great merchants to make it easier. Instead of this city, I believe that most merchants are aiming for the next city."

"Fair enough." Noel nodded. "For the time being, I want you to keep an eye on all that matters. And just make sure that you maintain the strict background check when they want to stay here."

"Understood." Balott nodded. "There's one thing that I'd like to know, sir. About the upper-class residential district, what are you planning to do with it?"

"Are you asking about which nobles will be allowed to stay?"

"Yes."

"First come, first served. Everyone can buy it as long as they follow the regulations. However, the regulations will be much stricter. I don't mind if it's bought by an enemy's faction, but just ensure that not all the top mansions are bought by them."

"About that… I believe that the other kingdoms will be interested in it, especially the Greenwood Kingdom. They definitely love to buy it for Princess Livia, don't they?"

"Yeah. If they use it as her house, it'll be much easier for them to come here. But just make sure that you leave one mansion free."

"Is there someone you'd like to give it to?"

Noel pointed at Balott. "That's exactly what I want."

"So you're planning to use the mansion to make people think that there is someone important enough for you to reserve a mansion for them. This way, there will be some rumors about their wildest imagination to guess that person. But actually, it remains empty because you just want it to be empty."

"Yeah." Noel nodded. If they realized it, he could simply say that the mansion was to honor his parents. The people didn't know that his parents hadn't died after all.

Noel contemplated for a moment. "By the way, do you have a connection to someone who is good at managing internal security? I want to separate the soldiers from the new division that is tasked with managing the security of the city."

"A new division?" Balott understood why Noel asked him this question. In the end, a new division meant a new budget, so it was only right for Noel to ask his opinion first. Unfortunately, Balott could only shake his head. "Unfortunately, I don't have any connection to such a person. For such an important role, he not only has to be capable but also powerful.
