With the completion of the third phase of the project, we can begin to increase the population.
This population depends on two factors: the livelihood of the original inhabitants and the migration of people.
Don't even think about giving birth.
The original Black Street was full of bachelors; even the flies that flew around here were female.
He was referring to those who came to him, at least until next year.
Moreover, there are only about a hundred people in those groups, and it will be at least a decade or more before their children become productive laborers.
"So Campbell's reputation is really bad..." Edward said with a headache.
Wendy Nice, who had gotten used to being the 'bratty younger brother,' rolled her eyes.
"Don't think that changing Campbell to Emerald Valley will make people buy it."
"Only a fool would be willing to settle down here if he heard it was a den of iniquity."
Thomason, the former biggest gangster in Campbell, stared expressionlessly at Wen, the pretty boy.
Li Aili saw a sinister bubble rising from Thomason's head:
[You pretty boy, I'll beat the crap out of you after the meeting.]
Li Aili thought it best to give Wendy a bottle of hair growth potion later.
She was afraid that if she didn't change back into a girl, the unfortunate child would be beaten to death by Thomason.
"Who wants to start the discussion?" Li Aili asked.
Actually, she had a plan in mind.
However, once Emerald City is established, the management team is of paramount importance.
What she needs now are capable subordinates who can think for themselves, not subordinates who simply follow orders.
Thomason, seething with anger, crossed his arms and said, "We'll offer high salaries to hire people to work here. We have the money and the manpower!"
Wendy rolled her eyes. "People will probably think you tricked them into coming here to rip them off."
Thomason gave the 'pretty boy who deserves a beating' a sinister look.
Li Aili silently picked up a glass of water, activated her Sage's Heart, and subtly transformed the water in the glass into a 'hair growth potion'.
Wendy was still spouting off.
Every sentence revolves around the bad reputation of Campbell's Black Street.
He watched as the veins on Thomason's forehead throbbed.
"Here, have some water." Li Aili calmly pushed the 'hair growth potion' over.
Wendy was flattered.
[This must be because my sister thinks I'm right!]
Having achieved self-consistency in her own logic, Wendy happily picked up the water, drank it all in one gulp, and then said in a deep male voice:
"Look, even my older sister agrees with what I said—"
Wendy's voice grew higher and higher, then thinner and thinner.
"...Makes sense?!"
The last word was spoken in a standard female voice.
Thomason watched as Wendy instantly transformed into Wendy, as if by magic.
Wendy: "???"
Practice makes perfect, and Wendy looked at Li Aili in shock, "What did I do wrong???"
Li Aili said, "It's nothing, I'm just afraid you'll get beaten to death."
Wendy: "..." Belatedly realizing what was happening, she looked at the expressionless Thomason.
Thomason grinned at her, revealing a row of uneven, yellow teeth.
Wendy immediately became quiet.
Li Aili said, "Hiring people with money is indeed a good idea."
Joanna asked, "Could we entrust this matter to the Merchants' Guild?"
“We pay a deposit so they can recruit a group of migrant workers from afar.”
Upon hearing this, Li Aili became interested and said encouragingly, "Tell me in detail."
Encouraged, Joanna began to explain her thoughts.
"The closer one is to the original Campbell, the more deeply ingrained the impression of Campbell becomes."
"Therefore, we should abandon what is near and seek what is far."
That's right, this was the first idea Li Aili came up with.
Li Aili was very happy.
While she was away on her adventures, she entrusted the management of the alchemy shop in Central City to Joanna.
Part of the reason was to train Joanna.
Sure enough, this move seems to be showing initial success.
Joanna continued, "Also, we will offer a generous salary and impose some additional conditions."
"For example, the time spent working in Emerald City can be as long as 2 to 5 years, during which time they cannot go home."
Li Aili became more and more satisfied as she listened.
Five years later, she was confident that she could develop Emerald City into the wealthiest city on the continent.
When they see the prosperity of Emerald City, a large number of them will be tempted to 'immigrate'.
Li Aili nodded, "Okay, then I'll leave this road to you."
Joanna exclaimed with delight, "Yes, Your Highness!"
When the minotaur Bakkin saw Joanna 'in the lead', he got a little anxious and quickly raised his hoof.
"Boss, boss! I have an idea too!"
【Hey!!! Of course you should ask the people in the dungeon for this kind of thing!】
Li Aili's eyelids twitched.
Sure enough, the ox said, "You should have said you needed people earlier!"
"What do you mean by hiring people? There are starving bastards everywhere in the dungeon!"
"You said you wanted food and protection, I'll take this message to the underground city, there will be a lot of people coming!"
[Such a good job, it's not unreasonable for me to make a 10-cent 'brokerage fee' in the middle, is it?]
Hey, if the price goes up a bit, those poor bastards won't be able to afford it.
Li Aili: "..."
"Ba Jin".
"What?"
"Remember to remind me next time that if I ever concoct a 'human-transforming potion,' I'll make sure you drink a bottle first."
Ba Jin: "???"
What Ba Jin said is also a valid approach.
After a moment's thought, Li Aili did not reject the minotaur's suggestion.
"Can."
"But for the dungeon, I want someone with decent character."
"The recruitment of personnel for the dungeon is now in your hands."
The minotaur began to happily imagine how much he could profit from this.
