Chapter 110110. Seeking Talents

When Lodel came back, the two were discussing the migration of the people.

Bruno privately told Lovey that this year's grain harvest could feed another 10,000 people.

Donglin City is currently under a huge population burden. Sending 10,000 people here would alleviate some of the pressure. Ai Xin agreed without even thinking about it.

"Are you planning to issue household registration to the relocated people?"

"That's right. There are many uncultivated lands in the territory right now. I will issue household registration and distribute land to those who are willing to open up wasteland. Those who come first will get five acres, and those who come later will get three acres and two acres respectively. Those who come first will get more, and those who come later will get less."

“It should have been done earlier.”

When Ai Xin saw Lodel coming, she calmly put down her crossed beautiful legs.

Luo Deer looked indifferent as she sat on the other side of Luo Wei. She obviously didn't like tea, but she snatched the tea bowl and drank it all in one gulp. She looked at Ai Xin with a suppressed gaze, and finally stopped at Luo Wei's face.

"Are you going to the pioneer camp tomorrow?"

"Go! It's been several days since I last went there."

If it wasn't for the student selection today, Lowe should have gone there, because there is no one in charge there.

It snowed heavily last night, and I don’t know if anyone froze to death. “I have arranged for the guards to go first, led by Volme! A total of fifty people.”

“What are so many people going to do?”

"Replace Zoe and Akikari!"

"Don't be ridiculous. After Zoe is replaced, who will protect the people?"

It's not enough to have a lot of people to guard the place. Lowe knows very well that only limit breakers can deal with some vicious monsters. Ordinary guards can only use human lives to deal with them.

Especially at night, even a pile of human lives may not be effective.

"Zoe's duty is to protect the lord, not your mayor!"

"I don't care anyway. I'll have to wait a few more days if I want to change it."

"Okay, the maximum stay is one month, and then we'll leave."

"You are deliberately irritating me, aren't you?"

That evening, a new announcement appeared on a billboard in the center of Donggang City.

"A call for talents! Anyone who has outstanding talents in some aspect can respond to the call. Show your abilities to the lord, or recommend someone you know. Those who pass the call or successfully recommend someone will receive a reward."

The scholar read it aloud to the crowd, and the response was lukewarm.

Evelyn would issue similar talent-seeking orders several times a year.

After the sun sets, the city falls into darkness.

The cold wind blew through the streets. Even the busiest commercial streets gradually became empty.

There is only one exception.

Red Maple Tavern.

In the fireplace, a fire burned all night long.

The waiter bent over and stuffed it with low-quality coal and wood, and the thick smoke rose up the chimney and drifted into the sky.

Soon, the seats were filled with drinkers.

The boss held the wine barrel and filled the glasses of the paying customers with wine.

"It's so cold this year, but luckily we have this kind of wine."

"The blood of a warrior is indeed powerful."

"Come on! Cheers!"

There are many drunkards, but few rich people. The drunkards without money can only wait for others to finish drinking and snatch the remaining wine.

If you shake the wooden cup vigorously a few times, a few drops may leak out. The white tiger beastman kept his head tilted back to drink for a full half minute, and then he slammed the cup on the table in dismay: "How did you drink it so cleanly!"

"Anyone who wants to take advantage of me hasn't been born yet." The blonde sneered.

The white tiger beastman had a black face: "You guys can drink again? What's going on?"

"How about the money earned from mining? Do you want to go down with me?"

"You're crazy. Become a miner! Don't you think you'll live long enough?"

"It's not like we work every day. Now the lord allows us to do temporary work. A basket of coal costs five copper pence. I go down three times a day, and in just one morning, I earn fifteen copper pence!"

“I’m not going.”

"No, just watch me drink."

The blonde ordered another cup of warrior's blood and shook it in front of the white tiger orc's nose.

"You might as well open up wasteland instead of mining coal." The White Tiger Orc said, pretending to be indifferent, while trying to suppress his urge to drink.

"Is there any wine to drink during the land reclamation?" the blonde asked back.

"I don't have wine to drink, but I have a household registration and land. I won't have to worry too much in the future." The white tiger orc supported his head and stared at the wine glass in front of him.

The girl smiled and took a sip: "I like this city and don't want to leave"

"Yes! It's very safe here. People here have no bad intentions and there are no nobles who abuse their power." The white tiger orc echoed.

"I heard that the lord wants to register the long-term miners and provide them with housing."

"You want to settle down?"

"Who wouldn't want to? Winter is coming, and I don't have as thick fur as you, so I'm not afraid of the cold."

"You stinky woman!" The white tiger orc pretended to be furious and took the opportunity to snatch the almost empty wine glass.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Georgia, you treat me next time." During the fight, the blonde stroked the tiger's head hard.

Time flies by slowly.

By the time the autumn harvest was over, it was almost mid-September.

Compared with previous years, this year's harvest is slightly larger.

However, if population growth is taken into account, food will not be in great abundance.

Lowe inspected the granary again. In addition to the staple food wheat, he also found rice.

This crop seems to be unpopular. It is considered a coarse grain like millet and soybeans, and its status is lower than that of black potatoes.

After all, planting is too troublesome.

Wheat and black potatoes require little care. Rice requires careful care, has a complicated planting process, and has to be planted near water to produce a good yield.

If there is no shortage of land, growing wheat is obviously the preferred choice.

Lowe is not prepared to force the promotion of rice.

It is expected that if the official purchase price of rice is appropriately increased, naturally there will be smart people willing to put in some thought.

After he left, the granary began its second round of construction.

Following the lord's orders, the workers laid cement on the stone walls and sealed every gap between the stones.

The widespread use of cement has begun.

Fulinbao Department Store Supermarket, abbreviated as Fulin Department Store, has officially opened.

Mainly engaged in various types of grains, salt and animal fats.

Also for sale are steamed wine and fried tea, pottery and various small wooden products, as well as iron tools.

There are more than twenty kinds of items scattered around, the most valuable of which is the clock.

Less than two hours after Xiqi put the clock on the shelf, it was bought by a wealthy citizen.

"It seems that there are rich people everywhere." Lowe sighed.

"Master, you really don't allow us to sell meat?" Xiqi frowned deeply as she looked at the lukewarm scene in front of her.

"Meat goes rancid easily, and so does seafood. The most you can sell is cuckoo eggs." Lowe had foreseen this.

With the help of power, Fulin Department Store will become the only formal grain and salt trading place in the city.

He doesn't care about people's private transactions, but if someone blatantly steals his business, don't blame him for using force.

There was a flash of indifference in Luo Wei's eyes, and he turned and left.

It was a sunny morning, and it was also the day Ai Xin left.

Although he was reluctant, there was no other way. Rodel had already proposed it several times, both openly and secretly.

She seemed to have discovered the secret between the two, but she just never caught them in the act.

Luo Wei personally escorted Ai Xin to the city gate, and the two did not do anything meaningless. They looked at each other and waved goodbye.

"Are you reluctant to do so?" Lodel asked coldly.

"You are a sourpuss!" Lovey shook his head with amusement.
