Chapter 141 Even if the reconstruction of the port is successful,
the company finally has to lay off employees.
Neither of the two old employees showed up at their workstations, and their desks were cleaned up, leaving nothing on them. The beginning of a resignation is always unexpected, and the end is always untraceable.
There was no greeting each other, farewell party, or blessing each other as in TV dramas.
Only people disappear silently.
Lu Yao was actually prepared for this.
Boss Huang's previous work-from-home policy was actually a disguised form of layoffs, using salary cuts to force some people who were just idling away to resign.
When leaving the building, Sister Peng drove a Mazda to catch up with Lu Yao.
She rolled down the window and said, "Give you a ride?"
Lu Yao quickly shook his head.
"Let me tell you something serious."
Sister Peng put away her smile and said: "A classmate and I set up a small decoration company. She is in charge of the site and finding people, and I draw the drawings and make the budget. It has been two years. Now it is doing well."
"If you are interested, you can come to our place."
Only then did Lu Yao understand.
No wonder Boss Huang was worried that Sister Peng would leave, it turns out she has this side job.
"If you want to quit your job and can't find a good next job, you can come and try us. Maybe the income will give you a small surprise."
Lu Yao was a little confused.
I didn't say I wanted to resign.
"You've been absent-minded these days, often alone in a daze thinking about things...did your relationship with your girlfriend end?"
“…”
"It seems not."
Sister Peng said, "Men are always worried. Besides women, they are also worried about their careers. Your behavior means that your work is not going well. Old Huang even asked me about this."
Lu Yao thought it was a complete misunderstanding.
It was all because of the simulator that he couldn't help but think about the pixel world. The change of eras and the update of the fragment world made him think about how to operate in the future.
"You really don't want to resign?"
Lu Yao shook his head.
"Then I believe you. I'll tell Lao Huang the same thing later."
Sister Peng started the car: "He also asked me to come and test your attitude, but I thought, if you really want to leave, you might as well go to my place. Let's go."
Lu Yao was a little amused.
I didn't expect that my unintentional actions would leave such an impression on others.
The economic environment is not good. From the boss to the employees, everyone is nervous and sensitive. The workers are afraid that the boss will run away with the money, and the boss is also afraid that the employee will delete the account and disappear the next day.
Lu Yao couldn't help but think.
During the 30 years since their god disappeared, many pixel people may have suspected that they had been forgotten and abandoned by the god.
…
Lu Yao sat in front of the computer, eating dumplings cooked over low heat while moving the mouse.
He was busy too late yesterday. He finished designing the two wonders, named them, and went to sleep without even looking at their properties.
At this time he began to click and check one by one.
…
[Yao People's Monument]: An ancient monument built by the Garlic Tribe. It was built earlier than the city and records the names and deeds of the pioneers.
In the city where the Yao People's Monument is located, the morale of all people is +1 and the probability of negative events in the city is reduced.
…
Is the probability of negative events in the city reduced?
This is also a new buff.
Lu Yao guessed that it was probably something like a pirate attack, a large-scale disease, or a civil unrest like in Yancheng... which had a direct negative impact on the city level.
The monument will help to stabilize the city and will be beneficial in the long run.
He set his sights on the next one.
…
[Puji Theological Seminary]: The first theological seminary and school established in Yaocheng, it transformed into a wonder after the change of era, teaching theology and other knowledge to everyone.
All those who have completed their studies at Puji Theological Seminary will gain +1 knowledge and have a certain chance of gaining the [Theology] ability.
…
The role of the seminary is more intuitive.
Students in the academy improve their knowledge, and once they comprehend [Theology], it is equivalent to stepping into the extraordinary side, and they can improve their own level by observing miracles.
Examples of people who relied on [Theology] for transformation include the legendary prophet Hemira and the Ascetic Order's Grand Elder Yan Jiu.
The only problem is that the description "with a certain probability" usually refers to buying a lottery ticket.
Lu Yao didn't care either.
As long as there are enough people studying in the seminary for a long enough time, there will always be a few lucky ones. Now there is at least a channel to become a transcendent, giving the pixel people more opportunities.
The names he gave to these two wonders also represent his personal wishes.
Monument to the Yao People.
He hopes that the Garlic Tribe can remember that it is everyone who creates the tribe's history, and the heroes on the monument are only representatives of all the people.
Puji Theological Seminary.
The name implies that the seminary is meant to help the most common pixelated people.
The construction of the two wonders brought Lu Yao two apostle marks, and also allowed Yao City, which already had an advantage, to further demonstrate its leading position as a city.
Lu Yao began the population census.
Population: 61,420 Yaocheng: 29,508 Yancheng: 14,113 Sanilo: 15,090 Others: 2,709 Other population refers to those people or extraordinary beings who have not settled in the three cities but believe in Lu Yao.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
At the beginning of this era, the populations of Yancheng and Yaocheng were almost equal. Now the population of Yaocheng is growing rapidly, while the population of Yancheng is continuing to plummet.
Lu Yao carefully observed the villains in Yao City.
There are now many immigrants in the city, wearing all kinds of clothes and decorations, and among them are quite a number of escaped slaves.
Many people fled from Yanchi and flowed into Yaocheng.
The long-term spread of faith has made Yaocheng more attractive to some islanders, mountain dwellers and wild people. The possession of three wonders has made Yaocheng particularly dazzling and famous.
As one city grows, the other shrinks, and the size gap between the two cities is suddenly widened.
Although a large number of outsiders continued to pour in, the order in Yaocheng was not affected at all.
This city's governance capabilities are due to the stability of the Temple Society.
Lu Yao switched his perspective to the leader of this city, the Prophet Yaoshao.
At the door of the side hall outside the temple, the 53-year-old prophet Yaoshao was speaking to the temple congregants.
“Before long, the seminary will need to add a [medical school], and the scholars will need to learn medicine and treat the sick.”
"The scholars of the Temple Society must not only go to Salt City and the islands of the sea, but also exchange knowledge with the fishmen of Saniro. We know very little about this world, so we must remain humble and diligent."
"Starting this year, every new scholar who joins the temple will need to complete at least one pilgrimage. The miraculous ruins contain countless knowledge and inspiration. This is a natural treasure house given to us by the gods."
A scholar proposed: "Prophet, the group of believers in the north have always hoped to gain recognition from Yao City. They call themselves the [Northern Temple Army] and use carrier pigeons to send messages, hoping that we can support them..."
"Yaocheng has always refrained from interfering in Yancheng's internal affairs."
The prophet Yaoshao was firm: "Reply to them that we would be very grateful if they could completely eliminate the slave trade in Yancheng. If they release the slaves, Yaocheng will continue to properly resettle them."
…
Next, Lu Yao turned his attention to Yancheng.
In the council hall of Yancheng, the citizens' council is still arguing.
Someone suggested: "We must form an army, gather the slaves together, and form a complete and powerful army, so that we can resist the continuous harassment of pirates. Then we can go further out to sea and wipe out the pirates' nest."
"That's a good idea. But what about the slaves that have been gathered together? Slaves are property. I can sell them to you at a low price to support the city's defense."
"Ridiculous, you're still thinking about the slave business!"
"Then are you willing to donate your slaves for free?"
"you!"
"It would be better to let one person control all the slaves and let them fight together."
"No, what if it gets out of control? How do you know that the man who got all the slaves won't be more dangerous than a pirate?"
"In my opinion, the money is still not enough. We should continue to negotiate with the pirates. We will give them whatever they want..."
"That's impossible! That's not how you do business!"
"Quiet down, everyone."
A slave trader said: "In my opinion, we should ask for help from Yaocheng and let the Temple of Yaocheng come to drive out the pirates. The extraordinary warriors led by Mr. Yanger cannot participate in the war, so we can only hope for the help of the Temple of Yaocheng."
"no!"
"The Temple wants to abolish the slave trade, but that's definitely not okay!"
This proposal was opposed by everyone.
Lu Yao glanced outside the city.
The old port of Yancheng is still in ruins, and the new dock to the west is under construction, but it is still in its infancy. There are also signs of destruction and burning around it, indicating that it has been attacked from the sea before.
Lu Yao could see it clearly from the bird's-eye view.
Further out at sea, three galleys of the Northern Temple Army, loaded with villains, were approaching aggressively.
Another war is about to begin.
For Yancheng today, rebuilding the port is a success.
