Sugar-coated wine glanced at his lips, and said with some reluctance: "Have you investigated it? Isn't it too strange that there are no fish in such a large lake?"

Airl shrugged and said, "Our guild once rowed a boat around this lake, but there are mountains all around, so we can't see any problems from the surface of the lake. But if it's on the surface of the lake If there are any problems below, then our guild's current strength still has no way to investigate clearly."

The old man thought for a while, and seemed to be struggling with some problems.

After a while, he finally settled down, and said with determination: "Okay! If there is no fish, there will be no fish! This is an inland lake, maybe there are no fish fry in it. Let's think about it from another angle. If a row of hotels is built next to the lake and a few pavilions are designed on the lake, wouldn’t it be a good summer resort? This is a very good tourist attraction!”

Of course, if you want to develop tourism, you can find some strange scenic spots to develop anywhere. The only problem is funding.As long as the funds are in place, even poor mountains and rivers can develop a paradise for you.

After circling Pelican Town, everyone returned to the mayor's office.After Round Cheese and sugar-coated wine sat down on their seats, the old man began to spread his hands enthusiastically and said with a smile: "Mayor Round Cheese, I am very impressed with how well-organized you are in managing this town. My admiration! At the same time, I also hope to do my part for the prosperity of Pelican Town!"

"We have also seen the town just now, and I have learned a little about the situation of this town. So, now I hope that we can get straight to the point and talk about investment and cooperation."

Ai Luo couldn't help laughing and said: "Mr. Sugar Coated Wine, you've been praising our town all the way, so it won't be easy for you to bargain like this?"

Originally, Airl just wanted to say this last sentence, to make fun of the old man.

But I didn't expect Sugar-coated Wine to say with a serious face: "President Ai Luo, I really want to come here to cooperate with you, and of course I won't do the kind of thing that deliberately belittles you and then bargains. I think the round cheese The mayor is also a wise mayor, so there is no need to do such villainous tricks at all."

Since sugar-coated wine said so, then Airl could only curl his lips, pretending that he hadn't said anything.

The old man turned to the mayor again and said slowly: "Mayor Round Cheese, based on my knowledge and judgment just now, I want to develop Pelican Town into a tourist city based on tourism and service industries. After all, you The environment here is really great! There are mountains, waters, forests and plains, good public security conditions, and complete basic living facilities. It really doesn’t take much effort to build a tourist city.”

"For this reason, I can take the lead in taking out 5000 gold coins as the early start-up capital, so that our town can carry out the early preparations and industrial transition. If it is possible, then can we make such a decision?"

From before to now, the mayor of Pelican Town has always been in a state of confusion that is not very clear.

It can be said that from the very beginning, he came to accompany him to go shopping.

After hearing that Sugar Liquor wanted to actually start talking about this business expanding the town, the mayor, of course, went down.

Especially, in the state of hearing the starting capital of 5000 gold coins.

Sugar-coated wine froze for a moment. He cautiously approached the round cheese and said softly, "Mayor? Mr. Mayor? Are you listening to me? Hello?"

"Ah? Ah! Ahh! I, I am, I am here! What did we say just now?"

It was not easy for Round Cheese to recover from this flustered situation, and the whole person was still in that state of bewilderment.

Sugar-coated wine frowned slightly: "I mean, I want to build Pelican Town into a tourist city, so I am willing to provide 5000 gold coins as the initial capital. Do you think there is something wrong with this proposal? ?"

This time, Round Cheese was finally not intimidated.He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, stretched out a palm and tried to open it, and repeatedly gestured in front of himself.After a long time, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said tremblingly, "5...5000 gold coins? Give us 5000 gold coins directly?"

Sugar-coated wine nodded, with a slightly puzzled look on his face: "Yes, 5000 gold coins. What? Do you think it's less? But I don't bring too much money now, if I need more, I may need Go to a big city to adjust."

"No no no! I... I didn't mean that! I meant it!"

In a guild war, the entire Pelican Town spent so much time and effort, and only earned about [-] gold coins.

But now others will give five thousand gold coins as soon as they open their mouths!Such a good thing can't be found with a lantern!

"I mean! My side is totally—"

But the moment the mayor of Round Cheese wanted to say yes, his mouth suddenly stuck.

The chubby mayor turned his head, and his eyes fell on Airl, as if asking for his opinion.But when he saw that Ai Luo was frowning and thinking carefully, he immediately swallowed the "agree" that was about to come out of his mouth, and sat down in his seat again.

"That... that... such a big matter, I hope to hear as much as possible from the opinions of various merchants and residents in our town. That... President Arrow! You are also a member of our town, and your opinion on this What do you think of the proposal?"

From the perspective of the prosperity of Pelican Town, Arrow really thinks there is nothing wrong with the sugar-coated wine proposal.

However, if you think about it from the perspective of Song of the Mermaid, there are quite a lot of issues that need to be considered.

However, he will not directly express those doubts as the president of Mermaid Song.

"Mr. Sugar Coated Wine, first of all, I really appreciate you wanting to invest in our Pelican Town. But since you mentioned that our town is suitable for tourism, that is, the development of the service industry. In this case, those around our Pelican Town What about the fields and the farms, and the many, many people who depend on the produce for their livelihood?"

Sugar-coated wine waved his hand and said with a smile: "Isn't this simple? I gave 5000 gold coins in order to promote the economic transformation of all walks of life in our town. They can completely change from the status of farmers to this service personnel in this city. I believe that with a salary of less than three or four gold coins a year, a farmer is still willing to give up this kind of dirty work and find a new job in the brand new Pelican City right?"

Arrow pinched his chin, still frowning and said, "So, what about the food supply?"

Sugar-coated wine: "In addition to Pelican Town, the surrounding Kingfisher Town and Honglu Town are basically agricultural towns. Food supply can be purchased from these two towns. No matter how bad it is, Xihu City is not very far away from here. You can also purchase from far away! Didn’t you also do the same when you were conducting guild wars?”

Arrow: "If all food is imported, the price of food will go up. Will this increase adversely affect the residents of our town?"

Chapter 280 Eight Future Development Goals of the Town

Sugar-coated wine looked at Airl very curiously, but didn't answer his question for a while.After observing for a long time, he suddenly said: "President Airl, why do you have so many questions? Also, why do the mayor have so few questions? What kind of identity do you play in Pelican Town?"

Airol froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm just considering this matter as an ordinary townsman. As you know, I am the president of a guild, and our guild can also be regarded as a service industry, so I usually It costs a lot of money to raise our guild members. If the price of food rises, the guild industry with a large number of people like us will be impacted first. So, don’t blame me, I really want to ask .”

Now, the puzzled expression on Tang-coated wine's face relaxed a little.He nodded and said: "That's it, okay. But President Airl, if you really want me to say it, I still have to say that the price of food in Pelican Town cannot be increased, but it is too cheap Yes. A few iron coins can eat so much food, but if these foods are transported to big cities to sell, they can earn several times the price! If a city needs to develop, there must be some things that need to be compromised. In At this time, I still hope that President Airl can understand. After all, if Pelican Town really develops into a tourist city according to my expectations, then the money your guild can make in this city can definitely offset your additional expenditure! "

The truth is correct, and this economic law is also very clear and clear to Ai Luo when he was in school.

But when it was time to carry out reforms, and when the knife was about to hit him, he could truly feel what it means to feel heartache!I also deeply understand why those seemingly stupid and backward vested interests in the history books are so desperate to maintain the old social system.Vested interests!No one would like others to take money from their pockets, would they?

"Hmm... Is it feasible to develop into an industrial or large agricultural city instead of a tourist city?"

After hesitating for a long time, Airl finally made his own counterattack——

"If the regional security is stable and the infrastructure is complete, it can be developed as a tourist city, then it can also be developed as an agricultural or industrial city. When I was studying in the capital, I saw that the manufacturing and improvement of the element machine has reached the point where it can be put into practical use. In the year before I graduated, the capital even started to light element lamps on the streets. In the future, the industrial age of using magic elements for mass production will come soon. If our small town Wouldn't it be better to develop into an industrial city? We have sufficient water resources and forest resources, and there will be absolutely no shortage of water and forest elements on our side!"

Sugar-coated wine frowned again at Airl's suggestion.At this time, the way he looked at Ai Luo was no longer as gentle as before, but with a little vigilance.

But this is normal, as long as any businessman is not a fool, he should be able to see that the guild leader, Airl, may not like the construction route of the tourist city very much.

"Elemental machines have indeed started to be used on a large scale in the capital, but I don't think there are any advantages to industrializing in a remote town like Pelican Town. After all, this town has no special natural resources. Or you guys Are you going to exchange money by cutting down the Shining Forest or digging stone mines in the Sleeping Mountain Range?" Airl smiled and said, "What's wrong with that? Forests and mountains are resources in themselves, and we can completely sell them This kind of resource is used to accumulate funds in advance. There is no need to abolish all the agriculture and handicraft industries in our small town at one go, and directly change it into a tourist city with an extremely single source of income, right?"

Even if it was round cheese, he could feel that the atmosphere was getting a little anxious now.At that moment, the mayor hurriedly raised his hand and said with a smile: "Oh, everyone is just discussing~~! President Arrow! I know you have some ideas in your mind, but...but you see...Mr. Or... 5000 gold coins! So? Hehe, so..."

Logically speaking, Arrow knew that he really shouldn't obstruct the development of the town.

However, the shadow of Earl Karp's previous economic war has not completely passed, and now there is another investor who hopes that Pelican Town will completely abolish agriculture and handicrafts and turn it into tourism.Once Pelican Town really becomes such a city, once it suffers from some kind of food crisis, then you don't have to wait until you figure out a way to plan it, but the whole town will be destroyed in a matter of minutes!

Can I run by then?If you really run away, go to a new town to re-establish the guild, and then complete the three-year goal of 1000 gold coins in the little time left? !

Of course, if the sugar-coated wine old man is willing to give himself five or six hundred gold coins in one go, then don't say that you have thought about changing Pelican Town into a tourist city, even if you want to change Pelican Town into a large cemetery. Arrow is fine too!

Hmm... Has he really become a complete villain?

Just when Ai Luo started to fight for his thoughts, the sugar-coated wine old man over there looked a little ugly.He shook his head slowly and turned to Round Cheese: "Mr. Mayor, I came to Pelican Town because of your excellent management ability, hoping to invest. But as the mayor, you just look at it like this." Is such a guild leader saying these things in front of you? Who is this child of yours? Could it be your relative? Or do you think I am so sincere, so you want to try to hit me again?!"

"No, no, no, no! Oh, Mr. Sugar Coated Wine, you are taking a big joke! How could I do such a wicked thing?! Or, or this! You go back to rest today! Expand the town This matter really needs to be discussed with everyone in the whole town. I will give you an answer after we have discussed it! How about it?"

The old man frowned, and the relaxed expression that had appeared on his face in the morning had now become clouded.He looked up and down at Airl with some doubts, and after a while, he nodded slightly.

"Alright, it's getting late now, and I'm really sorry for disturbing Mr. Mayor today. Since you still need to have a meeting, then I can wait. I just hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible."

After sending off the sugar-coated wine, the smiles on Round Cheese's face relaxed with relief.

The mayor turned his head back, and when he looked at Airl, he clearly showed a displeased expression.

Naturally, Airl could understand this expression, so he could only smile lightly at him.

"President Airl, it's really not that I don't want to stand with you. But...but that's 5000 gold coins! I don't understand, anyway, you are also a member of our town, our little one The town is usually good to you Mermaid Song, right? Besides, the town has developed, the population has increased, and your business has naturally increased. I really don’t understand why you have so many problems? You know, That's 5000! 5000 gold coins! You must remember that those are 5000 golden coins!"

Airl can't just say that he has a tight schedule and heavy tasks, so he hopes that the town will not develop into a tourist city.If it really wants to develop, an industrial city that develops into a magic element machine may be able to make more money.At that time, logistics work will really be indispensable, and this kind of work can be carried out at the beginning of the transformation, so that it will not make me no money.

"Anyway... How about building the road first?"

In order to deal with the mayor of Round Cheese, Arrow thought for a while, and made this suggestion——

"Whether it is developing into a tourist city or an industrial city, roads need to be built. But the road leading to the outside world in our Pelican Town is full of stones, and it is full of potholes. Usually, it is faster to take a two-horse carriage at most. A bit of it would make your stomach throb. So how about we make our town's roads to the outside a little bit better first?"

Now that Airl has made such a proposal, the mayor has nothing to say.

He sighed, could only nod his head, and said: "I will inform everyone to hold a meeting in the next two days, and you can come to participate and express your opinions. After earning such a small amount of money, I feel that I can still live and live. But since you led us to open office meetings and made such a large sum of money, our minds have become involuntarily active. I always feel that we should You can earn more and make our lives better! So... oh, let’s not talk about it! President Arrow, you should go back to eat too.”

As for the round cheese, Arrow certainly understood.

People who have never tasted the taste of money suddenly have a lot of money, and they will naturally want more involuntarily.

It's as if scavengers who've tasted blood will jump more quickly in the direction of the food.

Arrow knew that he had made a head start, so it might not be so easy to step on the brakes.

In the next few days, under the organization of Round Cheese, some prominent figures in Pelican Town began to gather in the mayor's office to start a meeting.

For this town expansion plan, most people's first reaction after hearing it is naturally to cheer.The starting capital of 5000 gold coins is quite attractive no matter what!

Chapter 280 IX Hotel Business License

Of course, Arrow also expressed his views at the meeting as a neutral.While depicting the unique natural environment of Pelican Town as a tourist city, it is possible to make a lot of money at once, but also think that as a border town, if Pelican Town lowers the priority of the agricultural economy in one go, once there is a food shortage A famine year would immediately be dealt a devastating blow.

These opinions naturally made some townspeople start to worry, and they hesitated a little about the construction of a tourist city.At the same time, when most businessmen know that the jobs they are currently engaged in are likely to have to undergo economic transformation during the process of urban expansion, and have to engage in a completely unfamiliar job that they may have never done before , this worry and hesitation also increased a lot invisibly.

The meeting continued for a week, and the townspeople who supported the expansion of the town and established it as a tourist city and the residents who wanted to build an industrial city or agricultural city stood in line, gradually forming two different forces.

It is precisely because of this difference of opinion that some things that Airl did not expect at all began to happen in this small town that used to be very peaceful...

----

On a summer afternoon, the sky was covered with black clouds.

The air in the small town seemed to be suppressed by this black cloud, the sultry and humid atmosphere couldn't dissipate outside, constantly entrenched in every corner of the street.

From time to time, there were some low rumbling sounds in the sky, as if foreshadowing the terrible scene that this peaceful and peaceful town was about to face.

Airl stood in front of the guild gate, looking out at the dark clouds in the sky.

The guild members are all out to work now, which makes the whole hall look empty.Especially in this kind of situation where it's only just afternoon, but the hall is filled with darkness, as if it's already late at night.

At this moment, a pedestrian came from the east of the road.When passing by the door of Song of the Mermaid, I greeted him naturally.Just when Airl was about to raise his hand to say hello, another pedestrian came from the west. The two snorted coldly after seeing each other, and ignored each other as if they were seeing enemies, and looked after each other. walked away.

Airl, who was left with his hands raised in the air, was as embarrassed as he could be right now.

"Did you do it?"

At some point, Napa floated on top of Airl's head.

The cat laid down on Airl's hat recklessly, stretched out its paws and stepped on the brim of the hat, and said, "I never thought that besides restoring the economic vitality of such a small town in one go, you could also revitalize this small town." In an instant, the members of the entire town became hostile to each other, as if there was some kind of hatred between them that killed their father. This kind of indifference has never been seen in Pelican Town before."

Arrow wanted to justify himself, but for a moment he felt as if he had nothing to say.

In fact, a large part of the current situation is caused by my own attachments.Maybe those townspeople didn't realize it when they listened to him, but when he, a seemingly neutral commentator, did have some small biases when describing the advantages and disadvantages of tourist cities and industrial cities.
