Chapter 189 188. Bankrupt civilians

Do!

Dodo!

The sharp ax blade was deeply embedded in the trunk of the tree, cutting a crack. As the lumberjack continued to chop, the century-old tree fell into the mud and was covered in dirty soil.

Jason let go of the heavy axe, and walked on the tree stump that was constantly flowing with red sap to recover his strength. Behind him, a group of thin apprentices came, holding tools such as sickles and hatchets.

Prune off excess branches from the trunk.

This situation made Jason recall the time when he first came to Sunless Island.

At that time, he and his wife were cutting down trees like that, one after another. Whenever he saw a huge and majestic tree falling to the east of his axe, Jason felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment in his heart.

Therefore, he even refused the recruitment order from the barracks and chose to stay in the logging team, becoming one of the most senior employees in Didong, Maltleg.

His wife became a clerk in the city hall as she wished, and the job was easy. The two of them earned seemingly meager wages, but in fact, the biggest costs of life, food and housing, had already been taken care of by the lord.

Spend a penny for this.

Moreover, Jason thinks that the food in the cafeteria is much more delicious than the food cooked by his wife, especially the recently launched new product. I heard that Lord Fou invented a high-end cuisine called oil noodles. It tastes amazing...

With a slurp, he put back the saliva that had flowed out. He couldn't think about it anymore, otherwise he would be hungry even after he had just filled his stomach.

Feeling that his physical strength was almost restored, Jason raised his head and saw that the apprentices had only processed a small part of the branch. He suddenly lost his temper and stood up and shouted:

"Hurry up! The team next to you has already started to deal with the East Tree. They are busy working there. They haven't eaten for a long time!"

"Eat...eat Captain."

"Are you full?"

"I am full…"

"That's not fast!!"

There was no other way to prevent his team from lagging too far behind. Jason picked up the tools and went to the battlefield in person. He was not idle at all, teaching them how to shave branches in the most effortless way. The apprentices also concentrated on learning how to do it.

, after all, there is an assessment to be promoted to a full-time employee. If you fail the assessment, you will not only lose the job, but you will also not be able to enjoy free benefits, and your salary will plummet.

On the one hand, they can continue to live in poverty, and on the other hand, they cannot receive generous benefits. Therefore, all the poor immigrants who have immigrated cherish the opportunity to change their destiny, work hard to contribute to the territory, and strive to become official residents of Aurora Town.

While Malt's logging team was working hard to open up wasteland, Myron's construction department and Karl's barracks were not idle either.

In the clearing after clearing, townhouses, as well as supporting public toilets and canteen No. 4 were built, forming a basic village structure.

The Morning Light Corps is responsible for cleaning up the remaining beasts and monsters in that area and creating a safe working environment for subsequent construction and farmland development.

In short, with the cooperation of multiple departments, the new village grew from scratch and appeared on that land at an extremely fast speed.

…Ten days later…

The port of Sunless Island welcomed the return of the Tuna and Provence. Both ships were, without exception, full of immigrants, especially the smaller Tuna, where the draft at the bottom of the cabin was close to the warning red line.

After hearing the news, Mr. Jialan, who had nothing to do first, came to the dock, personally received the two partners, and paid them per head.

The Tuna carried 500 poor people. After the upgrade, the Provence had a stronger carrying capacity and could carry a full 800 people.

"Sir, there are quite a number of bankrupt civilians in our school. They have lost their jobs, and their wages are not enough to support the high prices, resulting in their loss of survival ability."

"When residents learn that they can enjoy free food and housing in the towns you operate, they are happy to take the boat there."

Outside the reception room at the pier, Hassen started talking about the music and the drinking.

"Even the common people are bankrupt. It seems that prices outside have reached a very serious level." Jialan sighed.

"No, prices are rising too fast, and he feels something is not right."

Jialan looked at Feili and saw that his expression was serious and he said solemnly:

"When he and Hasen first arrived in Mulun Town ten days ago, the price of whole-ground wheat flour at that time was less than 40 copper liquid yuan, and the normal market price was 30% to 40% higher. But on the day they left, the price of whole-wheat flour

The price has risen to 50 copper per kilogram, and the price of finely ground red wheat flour is even close to 1 silver. Even if it does rise, it should not rise so fast.

Moreover, news spread inexplicably about giant rats burrowing into grain depots and devouring stored grains. Some people even claimed to have seen giant rats with their own eyes. When they stood upright, they were as tall as a ten-year-old child.

Sir, will you tell me that those Waxus spies you mentioned are causing trouble again? They are living in Jiqi and spreading roast balls?"

"Is it inevitable that the Waxas are secretly up to something? They can't miss such a good opportunity for chaos. Prices in Mulun Town are rising so fast. What about other towns?"

"It's a little better. Although there is an increase, it is not that serious, especially in the villages in the east of the countryside. The impact is even smaller." Hassen added.

"Normally speaking, supplies outside the island will be adjusted with each other according to different prices. Although there will be a certain degree of delay in the adjustment, it will not cause such a big gap."

Hassen's remarks once again proved that there is another reason for the price anomaly in Mulun Town.

"Will it affect the trading market in Aurora Town?"

"He saved a large amount of monthly necessities before prices rose. The current market prices are not at normal prices. If they are sold in limited quantities, they can last for two to three months."

Hazen wisely did not adjust prices, but prepared goods in advance to ensure residents' regular monthly consumption.

Jialan is very satisfied with this.

After chatting for a while, Mag and Feimanman, who were responsible for accepting immigrants, knocked on the door and walked in.

"Sir, there are 1,315 immigrants in total, and they have all been relocated to the new village. In addition, Captain Karl discovered a small freshwater lake while clearing the jungle in the north.

That lake is very similar to the lake that Pharmacist Walli once described. If nothing else, it should be the same place."

"How's the situation there?"

"According to the conclusion obtained by Captain Karl's preliminary exploration, there are a large number of wild beasts and magical beasts near the lake, and magical beast resources are very abundant."

After listening to Mag's story, Jialan's expression changed, and she secretly started the system and brought up the mission interface.

In the third resource clue provided by the character Wall-E, it is the freshwater lake shown.

"Looks like it's right."

Master Jialan understood immediately.

According to Walli's description, the lake is located to the north of the Spider Jungle. Because the specific location is unclear, the progress of developing the freshwater lake was temporarily shelved.

Ru Ming accidentally bypassed the spider jungle and discovered a freshwater lake when he opened a remote new village. For Mr. Jialan, who was short of money, this was undoubtedly great news.
