Chapter 239 239. Development
"Teacher, you have really decided to retire."
"Yes! I'm 97 years old, and I still have a few years to live. Lately, I've been losing energy and wanting to sleep more and more."
Bruno's father lived to be 109 years old.
The average life expectancy of his family members is between 100 and 120 years old. Compared with ordinary people, this can indeed be called a long-lived bloodline.
"What will you choose to do when you retire?" Lars asked curiously.
"Perhaps, I will write a book to record what I have learned throughout my life, so that those who come after me can easily obtain my life experience and avoid detours. If I have more time, I will train a few young people." Bruno paused slightly and said, "Young people, don't be attached to power."
Lars bowed his head deeply.
"If you had been able to stay in Adventure Town at that time, you should be the city lord now, not Yisi."
“Yes, I regret it.”
"You choose an easy path, which is understandable. I know it's hard over there, but you have to remember that there is a price to pay for everything you do."
Bruno watched his disciple leave, gently put down the glasses on his nose, and frowned in thought.
Neither of his two disciples had the ability to govern a region. Lass was too utilitarian and could not endure hardships, but he was good at socializing.
Davian is a lively person with practical ability, but he is poor at socializing.
The scholars in the East Continent have some good talents, but they are not loyal. Bruno tapped the table lightly. He knew very well that loyalty must be put first, whether it was loyalty to the lord or loyalty to the people of the territory.
Forget it, I'd better ask the young master who is more suitable. Fiona gave birth to a daughter, and as everyone expected, she named her Feiying.
The birth of Lowe's third child was announced as a city-wide celebration.
Jinlong provided large amounts of food subsidies, and meat, which people usually couldn’t afford to eat, was discounted by 30%.
Pork, which cost five copper coins per pound, now only costs three copper coins and five iron coins. Beef, which cost twenty copper coins per pound, has dropped to fourteen copper coins.
There was a buying frenzy in the market.
At dinner time, Bruno handed the written report to Lowe.
"If there aren't enough houses, then we can allocate more land, pre-build some houses, and get money from Fulinbao's treasury. The population has exceeded 120,000. Has the goal been achieved?"
Luo Wei was in a good mood. The recent development speed of Donggang City was obvious to all. It could be said that it had returned to the fast lane. With the influx of new population, the speed at which factories completed orders began to increase. Technology had also accumulated.
If things continue to develop in this way, he will be able to see the birth of the next stage of civilization during his lifetime.
In the pursuit of a better life, there has been greater progress in food.
People have more time to think about better food.
Make better tasting cream, add sugar to chocolate, add various fruits, milk recipes to season. For cooking, soy sauce finally came out.
Similar seasonings that came from the Central Continent were extremely expensive.
Lowe used a microscope to find the Aspergillus fungus, cultivated it, and finally succeeded in making it.
After vinegar, soy sauce became the most commonly used condiment! After dinner, Lovi was called to the living room by Bruno.
"What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Master, didn't I tell you a few days ago that I plan to retire when I'm 100 years old? I'm asking you in advance if you have any candidates you'd like to consider."
"I know that the position of the Lord of Donggang City is a heavy responsibility. It requires someone you can trust absolutely, just like you. In terms of ability, you can actually step back a little. If someone with ulterior motives sits in that position, the results of my hard work may be ruined." After thinking about it, Lovis really didn't have any good candidates.
Several options were proposed. The first was to hand the child over to her for custody if mother Evelyn was willing to help.
If it was a few years ago, Lowe would not have had such an idea, but Evelyn seemed to be very idle recently.
I have plenty of time every day to explore physics and astronomy with myself.
You can use this as a threat. Then, Mosophie can also Lovi knows very well that the panda butler has a flexible mind and is capable of handling most things. The butler's affairs can be handed over to Triss.
Bruno's two disciples felt that Davian was more trustworthy and could consider making him acting consul to help Bruno assume certain responsibilities.
Anyway, with the judges and the city defense officers distributing power, there shouldn't be a big problem. Of course, the best way is to go into battle by yourself, with a few apprentices and assistants. As long as you can hold on until your daughter grows up, you can retire.
Lovi confessed several options to Bruno, and as expected, he thought the last one was reliable.
The lord will personally take the position of governor of Eastport City, and no one will object or raise any objections. Then he will ask Lars and Davian to assist him.
Bruno left satisfied.
Mossofi, who was waiting at the door, walked in.
"Master!"
"What is it, Messophy?"
"Is that so? I am already over 40 years old. Can I train my nephew Da Pan to be my successor?"
"As far as I know, you pandas can live to be seventy years old, right?"
"Yes, female pandas can live to be seventy years old. Male pandas are oppressed and exploited, and many of them do not live to be fifty years old. My father and my uncle both died at the age of fifty-three and fifty-seven."
The panda butler hung his head pitifully.
"If you don't work as a housekeeper, what are you going to do?"
"I want to be a captain and visit the Middle Continent."
"You can't escape? If you want to make it easier, I can tell you a way."
Lovey calmly told Mosuofei to ask An Keduo to bring back some tribesmen.
There are too few people in the panda village now, and even reproduction has become a problem.
"Yes, this is one way." Mosuofei nodded vigorously and left quietly.
He left Fulin Castle and headed towards the bamboo forest path. There were still only a few Panda people's houses.
It looks quiet and desolate.
An Ke lay flat on a bamboo lounge chair. There was a mat on the ground covered with fresh young bamboo.
As a powerful person in the territory, she is treated very well and has a dedicated person to serve her.
"What are you doing sneakily? Come here, ma'am?"
Musophie's eyes widened, and he cautiously approached until his ear was twisted: "No, be gentle, it hurts."
"What are you trying to hide from me?"
"No, my dear wife! I just have an idea that I want to discuss with you."
"Hurry up and tell me!"
"Look, there are so few of us here. Do you want to go back and call some more people?"
"Haha, you want to sneak away while I'm back!"
"No, you are wronging me."
“I will ask Lady Evelin for help in this matter. If we take the dragon carriage, we can return in one day.”
Mossof's dream was shattered and he was dragged into the cabin by Anke.
