A strange world

Chapter 1176 Section 98. Endless unemployed population

"The maximum scope of leasing allowed by any person or force is no more than 100 hectares... Isn't it that all the money is earned by those mud-legged people?"

In the office of the former Minister of Military Affairs of Rekanel and the current Minister of Military Affairs of Liberty City, the nobleman with two curly beards was complaining loudly.

Renato sat on the sofa, holding a newspaper and a cup of hot tea beside him, and said slowly: "100 hectares is two miles long and wide, isn't it enough?"

"Enough? How can we make money with such a small piece of land?"

"Horus, I thought you would become smarter after joining the Free City..." Renato sighed helplessly and put down the newspaper: "This is obviously the treatment Annan prepared for civilians. Don't you see that no one is interested except you?"

"Our lord loves his people the most. You dare to compete with civilians for profit. Do you think the lord is too young, or have you forgotten how many nobles he hanged in the capital?"

When Renato said this, Horus recalled the shadow that Annan brought to the nobles of the capital, and even his voice became much smaller.

"What should we do? Lord Renato, I have always been your loyal subordinate..."

"Leave your loyalty to our lord." Renato smiled: "Since you want to take 100 hectares of wasteland, then take it. Perform well and get the best harvest in the autumn harvest, so that Annan will remember you."

"Wouldn't that be like being a dog?"

"Do you feel ashamed?"

Horus hesitated, and Renato said slowly: "Do you know how many old nobles in the kingdom want to be dogs but can't?"

"But he is not even twenty years old..."

Reinato shook his head and didn't want to talk to him anymore: "You kowtow to a chief of staff who has given up real power, but you look down on a young lord who is in the limelight?

...

Stepping on a piece of wasteland full of weeds, Hunter jumped and jumped like a child.

"This is our land! "

Next to him, Jack was much calmer, busy counting the farm tools on the wagon.

A skeleton farmer, two sets of wood boards, three bags of seeds, and four sets of farm tools.

"Go and move the things down." Jack commanded the skeleton farmer, who had no emotions and only knew how to obey, to move the things, and then he was busy building one of the sets of wood boards into a small but windproof farmer's hut at the edge of the wasteland.

His diligence was limited to this. As soon as he built his own hut, he lay down on the wooden bed and let the skeleton farmer go to open up the wasteland.

On the other side, Hunter, who had run across the wasteland crying and laughing, came back and saw that all the things were thrown aside. Jack stayed in his hut and was lazy, and only the skeleton farmer was working.

He went over to question him, and Jack rested his head on his arm: "Don't worry, there's still time..."

"Give me the deed." Hunter stretched out his hand.

"What are you doing?"

"I won't cooperate with you anymore. I want to divide the land! "

"No... no need..." Jack sat up quickly, "I didn't say I won't do it, I just want to take a day off and get my spirits back..."

"Do you think I'm easy to bully because I'm honest?" Hunter stood outside the door, blocking the door tightly.

"No, how could that be?" Jack blinked and laughed dryly, "Okay, since you don't want to, let's get to work first. I'll help you build the hut first!"

Jack got up seemingly diligently and built Jack's hut next to him.

There's no way, if he were to reclaim 1 hectare of land by himself...

Hunter watched for a while, confirmed that Jack didn't cheat again, picked up the farm tools thrown aside, and plowed the land with the skeleton farmer.

A few dozen minutes later, the two pioneers in the wasteland raised their heads at the same time and saw a huge convoy coming from a distance and stopped at their adjacent plots.

Then a team of guards rode their horses in different directions, with the horses' tails sprinkled all the way Some kind of yellow powder, circled a large area.

Then they saw a noble lord with two mustaches come out, turn around in the wasteland, and walk towards them.

Except for the skeleton farmer who was plowing the land, Hunter and Jack were so nervous that they didn't know where to put their hands.

Jack subconsciously wanted to pull Hunter to kneel down, but he didn't pull him once. When he wanted to pull him a second time, the noble lord had already walked in front of them.

Horus put on an approachable look and asked with a smile: "I am Count Horus, what are your names?"

"My name is Jack, and he is Hunter!" Jack said loudly.

"Jack? Nice name... Do you need any help?"

"How dare I trouble the Count..." Jack smiled and bent his waist to a right angle.

Horus looked up and saw that they simply put flags in the four corners.

"There are only two of you, but you have to plow three hectares of land. How can you handle it?"

"I can handle it. "Hunter said in a muffled voice.

He had never seen such a good-talking noble lord, and was somewhat flattered.

Horus smiled and did not refute the two ignorant farmers: "We will be neighbors in the future, and hope to take care of each other...Adan, give them a portion of our food."

Jack pulled Hunter excitedly: "Why don't you say thank you to the noble lord quickly."

Hunter did not move: "Thank you!"

Horus continued to inspect other neighbors, and Jack sent away the attendant named "Adan" with a large bag of food.

"What's wrong with you?" He complained, "You are stubborn with me, but he is a great noble, and no one will speak for you even if he beats you to death."

"Lord Annan will."

"What?"

"Lord Annan said that there are no nobles in Liberty City, and everyone is the same."

"How stupid, everyone is the same, why can he live in the city lord's mansion, he can command us, he can rent a hundred hectares and have a lot of subordinates, these are all made up to deceive us, let us not make trouble, and be their slaves, you really believe it?"

"I..." Hunter felt that it was wrong, but he was too dumb to refute.

Jack said proudly: "No one outside can believe it, so let us brothers work hard to farm and make a fortune!"

...

After a series of large-scale deployments such as resettling the kingdom residents and arranging workers, Liberty City has become adept at doing similar things. In less than a day, they allocated a total of 80,000 hectares of land and more than 16,000 farmers.

"We still have... about 80,000 unemployed residents."

"Why so many?" Annan had a headache.

How can there be so many jobs created, but there are still so many unemployed people...

"There is no way, Liberty City simply doesn't have so many jobs." Olmedo said.

This is also the reason why most territories are unwilling to accept refugees.

They will impact the originally orderly city, and will also create chaos and crime.

"Can we squeeze out more jobs?" Annan asked.

Olmedo shook his head: "That's 80,000 people..."

"Then send them all out to open up wasteland, and give those who are unwilling to do so only enough relief food to survive, and let the Guards strengthen patrols to prevent crimes from happening."

The lord had to show his courage, Annan continued:

"Also, since they have nothing to do, take them all to the school to study."
