Chapter 1216 Immigrants from Rest
The ancient kingdom of Parthia, the city of paradise.
Although the good leader Adil was dead, the Red Hand Party did not attack to the end.
Perhaps it was because the power of Amber opening her eyes and instantly destroying the artificial sun in the sky was too astonishing... or perhaps it was because Hassan the Flame Fist himself suffered a backlash, the Red Hand chose to retreat after gaining a huge advantage.
There is no doubt that if they continue to attack, the defense of Paradise City will immediately collapse - with the death of the Good Lord, the river outside the city no longer has a steady flow of water.
The little remaining water became calm and began to slowly drop at a speed visible to the naked eye.
If nothing unexpected happens, the rivers surrounding the oasis will completely dry up in about a week.
The city could hold out even longer—Adil had built a water tower, which could keep the residents alive for another month. This was a facility many benefactors would prepare to allow them to travel far, but each had their own approach.
However, it is precisely because Adil left some leeway that the residents of Paradise City now have the possibility of survival.
——This is actually the speed at which the water source dries up under normal circumstances when a good person dies.
The reason all the water in Rock Cellar City was contaminated and solidified by the petrification curse was that the city was completely depleted of water. This was also why Adil had to use the power of the Amber Egg to curse all of Rock Cellar City's citizens—if Afshin, the benevolent lord of Rock Cellar City, died from any other cause, the residents of Rock Cellar City would immediately discover that their water reserves could be used for a long, long time.
Because of what Adil said before his death, the believers of Paradise City really regarded Aiwas as Adil's brother - even though Adil was dead, they did not start a rebellion.
Aiwass naturally took over the temporary command.
Under his command, the residents of Paradise City began to evacuate to Rock Cellar City in an orderly manner.
Of course, the Rock Cellar City couldn't possibly accommodate such a large population. Paradise City was simply too large...
So Aiwas wrote directly to Yulia, asking her to prepare to accept this group of immigrants.
People elsewhere might not agree to emigrate, but the residents of Paradise City, completely brainwashed by Adil, agreed without hesitation. They didn't question Aiwass's promise, nor did they suspect he was trying to trick them into sacrifice... or even if he wanted to sacrifice them, they probably wouldn't resist.
It just so happens that Xingti is now at its lowest point in terms of population and talent.
Many cities on Star Antimony have become lifeless, due to the residents killed by the Fallen Angels and the population that fled elsewhere when the goblins caused an economic crisis.
Even including the cities taken by the Mist Demon, there was still a lot of empty space. Furthermore, the Mist Demon had made the cities it inhabited too humid, even creating rivers. This intense humidity, which the Star Antimony people shunned, was precisely the dream paradise the Parthians longed for. They could easily be exiled to the Mist Demon's neighboring cities.
At the same time, the Parthians could balance and complement the fog demons. Furthermore, this group of people, skilled in rituals, curses, poisons, and medicine, could perfectly fill the gap in the Xingti transcendental path.
Furthermore, the technological prowess of the Parthian people was truly impressive. After all, the Parthian Empire was an ancient empire with a millennia-long heritage. Though it had been discontinued several times, its rich heritage remained. While these freedmen lived a life worse than even that of feudal society, their technological prowess and cultural and educational attainments far surpassed those of the Xingti people.
At the same time, the slaves could all have a good job.
The workers at Star Antimony are seriously dissatisfied with the long working hours and salary levels, as they have to work fourteen hours a day, six days a week, to support a family of four. After all, at Iris next door, the same job can be done by working two hours less a day and one day less on Mondays, and the salary can still be higher than their own. The income level of the workers at Avalon is even lower.
Although Yulia has worked hard to increase national wages and reduce working hours since taking over...what puzzles her is that even so, no one comes back to work.
Even with the same salary, they would rather live in Iris and Narcissus where the cost of living is higher. Even the local workers in Avalon have begun to leave.
As a result, the economy clearly began to spontaneously concentrate in the Iris region, which was already the richest.
Yulia's staff are good at intrigue and power struggles, but few of them understand how to revitalize the economy.
Today, the New Hellasl Empire seems to be thriving and flourishing... However, it faces many difficult-to-solve problems, such as extremely uneven development, serious xenophobia and even mutual hatred among regions, high-end talents having no space to display their talents, and extremely sluggish grassroots markets.
This group of immigrants from Parthia can at least greatly alleviate this problem——
Those slaves who were not allowed to eat food suitable for humans and did not even have a place to live, and had to live in concentrated underground areas, let alone receive wages... Even if they were given three meals a day, clean new clothes, and a well-lit four-person dormitory, it would be enough to make them work wholeheartedly.
Not to mention, their working hours are even much less than in Anxi, and one person can easily support a family - they can save money and even send their children to school!
Perhaps because of the pain she had endured and the loneliness of not being able to go to school, Yulia's first steps upon taking power were to implement medical subsidies and compulsory education. While this would require spending money, the legacy of the Herasil Empire alone would be enough to sustain her for decades.
Although the residents of New Hellasir were also grateful and full of praise for their young empress... they probably could not understand how shocked the Parthians would be.
What? Only ten hours a day?
What? One month's salary can buy three live sheep?
What? Half of the medical expenses are reimbursed? No expenses at all for those with more than 30 years of service?
What? Learning is free? City libraries are free!
...What? The water here is free?
Although New Herathel is still an emerging capitalist country, and capitalization will obviously become more serious——
However, for the slaves in Paradise City who had just left the slave society, it was difficult to survive until the next day. Even eating a bite of meat or drinking a sip of clean water would result in death...
This is undoubtedly a real paradise.
Once they have "money," they can buy all sorts of things, whether useful or not. Because they haven't experienced the economic crisis of going from rich to poor, they even feel they have enough to eat and drink and no longer have any other needs...
This can in turn revitalize the local economic market.
With this group of people as examples and models, Aiwass can continuously rescue people from Anxi.
He didn't want to help the Good Lord, but he also didn't want to help the Red Hands.
Although the former had an ancient heritage and a once glorious mission, they had now completely degenerated into selfish and arrogant beasts. Aiwass didn't kill them all personally because he was busy and couldn't spare the time...
The latter were clearly the "Red Gloves" driven by Calamity Red. They constantly instigated and launched wars, thereby solidifying Calamity Red's newly born and shaky concept of the Path.
They chose Paradise City, which has the highest happiness level, as their first target instead of other more "evil" city-states. Obviously, it was not because Paradise City was the most evil; it was precisely because Paradise City was the least evil that they had to kill it first to prevent it from gathering talents from other cities and becoming stronger.
This is no longer "revenge".
Moreover, as the good leaders gradually died, they had to consider more and more how to save the remaining people - the Red Hand was obviously not afraid of this, they even wanted to massacre civilians for fun.
But Aiwass was bound by morality - if Aiwass killed the good people, he had to think about how to protect and resettle the remaining people. Otherwise, he would not only kill the evil good people, but also tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of civilians.
Then he would be no different from the Red Hand.
Aiwas originally wanted to expand the underground water system until the arrival of the Abyssal Heavenly Master, so that the water source would be free. But now it seems that this cannot be done...
——Then the best way is to send these people to New Hellasir!
If Aiwass took the initiative to empty these city-states... then he wouldn't have to care about Yuan Tiansi's arrival!
All tactical converters!
