As for the reason why Alicia went to find Cares, it was very simple. In fact, it has been mentioned before that one of the main reasons for promoting industrial reform is to improve the lives of the people of Gray River.

Therefore, for the construction of the industrial park, Ailiya mainly wants to recruit people from Huihe to build it first. It is not impossible for the Momang Palace to recruit people from Huihe, but the problem is that the people of Huihe do not trust the Momang Palace.

Originally, the residents of the Grey River were also commoners living in Fontaine. More than 500 years ago, at the end of the reign of the previous water goddess Eugolia, the government of Fontaine was controlled by the nobles.

Later, conflicts broke out between the nobles and the common people, and they launched an action called urban optimization, which drove those people, whom they regarded as lowly, to live in the sewers of Fontaine.

Later, more and more people gathered in the sewers, and the current Gray River was formed. The person who manages this place is named Eduardo Baker. He holds an abandoned water pipe to maintain order in the Gray River, and this water pipe is the Gray River Ferryman.

Gray River, led by Eduardo, can be summed up in one sentence.

'Let them be those in the sun, and we be those in the river of gray.'

But in the end, Eduardo still underestimated the greed of those nobles. There was no end to the greed and pedantry of the upper class. When the people who were driven into the sewers finally established a circle of survival in the Gray River, the concept of urban optimization was magnified by the dignitaries living in the sun.

They regarded the people living in Grey River as garbage and prepared to clean them out, calling it the Grey River Purge. As the leader, Eduardo could only lead the people of Grey River to resist, but was ultimately defeated and captured.

Eduardo was sentenced to exile in the desert, but he was rescued by his companions during exile. Eventually, Eduardo, who was desperate, had to team up with the bandits, taking the people escorting him as hostages, and then occupied Baisong Town.

When Eduardo held the residents of Baisong Town hostage to negotiate with the Fontaine high-ups, he did not expect that the corrupt high-ups would actually send Shadow Hunters to surround Baisong Town, which eventually caused the shocking Baisong Town Massacre. Except for very few survivors, Eduardo and the then mayor of Baisong Town both died at the hands of the Shadow Hunters.

Not long after, the Canreia War broke out, Egolia died, and Fontaine was passed to Fucaros. After recruiting Navillatte to serve as the chief judge, the influence of the nobles was gradually eliminated from the top level, and Navillatte paid a very heavy price for this.

However, even though those nobles were removed from the management, the distrust among the people of Grey River was still deeply rooted, and they still chose to stay in Grey River until today.

Therefore, Alicia needs to find a middleman to coordinate, and Kares is the best candidate. The Thorn Rose Society, headquartered in Baisong Town, shared the same suffering as the people of Gray River hundreds of years ago. The positive image of the Thorn Rose Society that is willing to help others is more profound in Gray River, where most people are poor.

So later on, Navia chose to establish a branch of the Rose Thorn Society in Grey River. In addition to the reality of a lack of funds, the most important thing was that the people of Grey River still chose to believe in their will after Cales' death.

Alicia came to the White Pine Town headquarters. After learning the purpose of Alicia's visit, Carres enthusiastically led Alicia into his study.

After Carles asked Alicia to sit down and brought her some tea, he began to speak to her excitedly.

"Lady Alysia, I sincerely thank you for your kindness to the people of Gray River. With your help, the living environment of the people of Gray River will definitely improve a lot in the future."

Alicia just shook her head at what Carles said, and then said.

"Mr. Carres, helping the people of Fontaine is what I should do. What's more, this is owed by the top leaders of Fontaine."

"Lady Alicia, don't belittle yourself. The previous mistakes were made by the nobles hundreds of years ago. What does it have to do with you?"

As the leader of the Thorn Rose Society, Cares naturally knew what happened hundreds of years ago.

"Mr. Carres, let's not talk about these boring things today. Let's talk about business first, shall we?"

Alicia shook her head, not wanting to talk too much about the matter, then she took out a document from her arms and handed it to Carres.

"Mr. Cares, this is the salary content of this recruitment plan. I hope you can give me some reference?"

Seeing this, Cares did not delay any longer and quickly took the recruitment benefits from Alicia and started to look at them.

After a long time, Cares put down the document in his hand to indicate that he had finished reading it.

"A monthly salary of 2000 Mora is indeed good, and it can be considered average in Fontaine's income, but the construction industry itself is a physical job, wouldn't this seem a bit... and although the employees will provide a house for the family to live in, most of these people are dependent on Gray River, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to be willing to move."

Kares expressed his opinion to Alicia.

He was not quite optimistic about this treatment. Although the monthly salary of 2000 Mora was not low and housing would be provided to employees, there was no need to worry about not being able to recruit people outside. However, Gray River had its special circumstances. Besides, Cares also wanted to work hard to get better treatment for the residents of Gray River.

In response to Carles's opinion, Alicia just smiled and then said.

"Mr. Carres, have you seen the additional rewards for outstanding employees?"

Of course, Carres saw this, but he didn't care about it. Isn't this just an old trick? Even if there is a reward, only a very small number of people will get it, and even if they get it, how much will it be?

Seeing that Carres was a little confused, Alicia explained to him.

"In fact, although we want to provide better treatment for the residents of Grey River, I also have to take into account the opinions of other people in Fontaine. People are not worried about the lack of wealth but the inequality of wealth. Therefore, some things can only be hidden. Otherwise, it will easily cause opposition from others or even hostility towards the people of Grey River?"

"After all, in their opinion, even if the people of Gray River live a bad life, it has nothing to do with them, so I can only hide some of the benefits. Only in this way can it be implemented better?"

"Mr. Cares, I can assure you that as long as you are not the kind of person who likes to cheat, you can get this benefit, and it will not be less than 500 Mora. In addition, the industrial park is not only a workplace. In the future, I will consider expanding it into a new city. After a certain number of years of work, permanent houses will be given to those employees. My real purpose is to let those who live in a dim environment stand in the sun again?"

Carres was shocked when he heard this, and then he could only sigh in his heart.

"I am too narrow-minded!"
