The super lord of the island

Chapter 189 188. Bankrupt civilians

Indole!
Dodo!

The sharp ax blade was deeply embedded in the trunk, cutting a crack. As the woodcutters continued to chop, the century-old tree fell into the mud and was covered in dirty soil.

Jason let go of the heavy axe, and sat down on the stump dripping with white sap to recover his strength. Behind him, a group of thin apprentices rushed up, holding tools such as sickles and hatchets, pruning Trim off excess branches from the trunk.

This situation reminded Jason of the time when he first came to the Lightless Island.

At that time, he and his wife were also chopping trees like this, one by one. Whenever he saw the thick and majestic giant tree fell under his axe, Jason felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment in his heart. , He even rejected the recruitment order of the barracks, and chose to stay in the logging team, becoming one of the oldest employees under Malt.

However, his wife became a clerk in the city hall as she wished, and the job was easy. The two of them earned a seemingly meager salary, but in fact the biggest cost of living, food and housing, had been settled by the lord, so there was no need to worry about it. This pays a penny.

And Jason thinks that the food in the cafeteria is much more delicious than the food made by his wife, especially a new product recently launched. It is said that it is a high-end cuisine invented by the lord. What is it called oil-splashed noodles?

With a suck, he took back the saliva that flowed out, and he couldn't think about it anymore, otherwise his stomach that was just full in the morning would be hungry.

Feeling that his physical strength has almost recovered, Jason raised his head and saw that the apprentices had only dealt with a small half of the branches. Suddenly he was out of breath, got up and shouted:
"Hurry up, everyone! The team next to me has already started to deal with the next tree, and they are still here, and they haven't eaten in the morning!"

"Eat...eat the captain."

"Are you full?"

"I am full…"

"Then hurry up!!"

No way, in order not to let his team fall too far behind, Jason picked up the tools and went into battle himself. He didn't stay idle, teaching them how to shave off branches in the most labor-saving way, and the apprentices were also concentrating on learning. There are assessments for regular workers. If you fail the assessment, not only will you lose your job, you will not even be able to enjoy free benefits, and your salary will plummet.

On the one hand, it is to continue the poor life, and on the other hand, it is generous benefits. Therefore, all the poor people who immigrated cherish this opportunity to change their fate, and strive to contribute to the territory and strive to become official residents of Aurora Town.

While Malt's logging team was working hard to open up wasteland, Myron's construction department and Karl's barracks were not idle.

On the vacant land after felling, it is necessary to build row cabins, as well as supporting public toilets and No. 4 canteen, forming a basic village structure.

The Chenguang Corps is responsible for cleaning up the remaining wild beasts and monsters in this area, and creating a safe working environment for subsequent construction and farmland development.

In short, with the cooperation and cooperation of multiple departments, the new village appeared on this land at an extremely fast speed from nothing to existence.

...ten days later...

The Port of the Isle of Light welcomes the return of the Tuna and the Provence. Both ships are full of immigrants without exception, especially the draft at the bottom of the cabin of the smaller Tuna is close to the warning red line.

Hearing the news, Master Jia Lan, who came first without incident, came to the pier, received the two partners in person, and paid the remuneration according to the head.

The Tuna carried 500 poor people, and the upgraded Provence had a stronger carrying capacity, carrying a full 800 people.

"My lord, among the immigrants this time, there are a considerable number of bankrupt civilians. They either lost their jobs, or their wages were not enough to support the high prices and they lost their ability to survive."

“When you know that you run a town where residents get free food and housing, they’re more than happy to go by boat.”

In the reception room of the pier, Hasson spoke about the immigration situation.

"Even civilians have gone bankrupt. It seems that the prices outside have reached a serious level." Jialan sighed.

"Yeah, prices are going up so fast, I don't think it's right."

Jialan looked at Feili, and saw that his expression was serious, and he said solemnly:

"When Hasen and I first arrived in Mulun Town ten days ago, the price of whole-ground wheat flour was 40 copper per kilogram, which was 3-4% higher than the normal market price. But on the day we left, the price of whole-wheat flour It has already risen to 50 copper per kilogram, and the price of refined white wheat flour is approaching 1 silver. Even if it rises, it shouldn't rise so fast.

In addition, rumors of giant rats burrowing into the grain depots and devouring the stored grain were spread inexplicably, and some people even claimed to have seen giant rats with their own eyes, standing upright as tall as a ten-year-old child.

My lord, will it be those Vauxas spies you mentioned who are making trouble again?Tunju Jiqi!Spread panic? "

"It's inevitable for the Vauxas to play tricks secretly. It's impossible for them to miss such a good opportunity for chaos. The prices in Wooden Wheel Town are rising so fast, what about other towns?"

"Slightly better, although there is an increase, but not so serious, especially in rural villages, the impact is less." Hasen added.

"Normally speaking, the materials in the island will be adjusted with each other according to the price difference. Although the adjustment will be delayed to a certain extent, it will not cause such a big gap."

Hasson's remarks prove that there are other reasons for the abnormal price in Mulun Town.

"Will it affect the trading workshop market in Aurora Town?"

"I saved a large amount of daily necessities before prices rose. At present, the market is still at normal prices. If they are sold in limited quantities, they can last for two to three months."

Ha Sen wisely did not raise prices, but instead prepared goods in advance to ensure the daily consumption of residents.

Jialan is still very satisfied with this.

After chatting for a while, McGonagall and Feynman, who were in charge of receiving immigrants, knocked on the door and walked in.

"My lord, there are a total of 1315 immigrants, and all of them have been transferred to the new village for resettlement. In addition, when Captain Karl was clearing the northern jungle, he discovered a small freshwater lake.

This lake is very similar to the lake described by Pharmacist Wally, if nothing else, it should be the same place. "

"What's going on there?"

"According to the conclusions obtained by Captain Karl's initial exploration, there are a large number of wild beasts and monsters near the lake, and the resources of monsters are very rich."

After listening to Mag's narration, Jialan's expression changed, and he secretly activated the system and called up the task interface.

In the third resource clue provided by the character Wall-E, it is this freshwater lake that is displayed.

"It seems that it is right."

Master Jialan understood immediately.

In Wall-E's description, the location of this lake is located in the north of the spider jungle. Because the exact location is not clear, the progress of developing the freshwater lake was once put on hold.

Now when he was opening a new village, he accidentally bypassed the spider forest and found a freshwater lake. For Master Jialan who was short of money, this was undoubtedly great news.
