I'm working on infrastructure in Xihuan

On the relatively gentle foothills of the Moon Mountains along the Velvet border, there are several Hall villages scattered among tall deciduous trees and jagged rocks. Glimpse at the high watchtower on the edge of the village, and in the evening, the smoke from cooking and cooking fires rises from the forest, blending with the clouds and mist.

A few years ago, the distribution of these villages was more scattered, but with the implementation of various policies centered on the Halls, whether it was land reclamation or construction of factories, the concentrated demand for young and middle-aged labor forces the villages to migrate and merge, and only a few The small villages of more than a dozen households either united or joined the nearby big villages, and they lived closer to each other than before, watching and helping each other across rivers and hills.

During the period of Velveer's external blockade, many local chambers of commerce suffered a lot of blows, and there were not a few people who cut off their tails and fled with gold.However, for the Huor tribe during the initial period of development, the cloth and medicinal materials they produced, as well as the prey hunted in the mountains and other special goods, opened up a suitable internal market when the external supply chain was broken.

Lucien also took the opportunity to mention the work of literacy - since he has fallen out with the noble council and the relationship has deteriorated to the lowest point where there is no way to continue to deteriorate, then don't take advantage of this time to let the previous scruples about their different Do everything you dare to do, and after the relationship eases, there will be no better opportunities for at least three years.

Anyway, now that the material reserves are sufficient and the fertilizers guarantee food life, the residents of Velvet will not die of poverty and starvation in two or three years, and due to the internal circulation of the labor force, the population is concentrated in the team of farming and engineering construction, which is suitable for platooning Sit in a row to recognize a few characters and learn to count. At least you can write your name clearly, and you can figure out how much money you have earned and how much tax you have paid.

It may not be so easy to open literacy classes in other places. After all, most people who can read, write, and count are self-confident. The mainstream thinking in this world is still the policy of private knowledge and obscurity. I want to persuade them to enlighten the low-level civilians. The work is extremely difficult.But the Hall tribe with local characteristics in Velvet doesn't care about this. As long as Lucien gives enough, they can recruit Hall who is especially good at reading, writing, and arithmetic to be teachers in the literacy class.

And many of them are well-informed former mercenaries who have traveled far and wide, and can open the door to a new world for civilians who have never left their homes for three miles in this life.

With business contacts and a not-so-formal master-student relationship, the silver-haired and brown-skinned aliens in the eyes of the locals gradually shed the bloody and alienated stereotype. Velvet" creates a closer emotional connection, equating "hometown" with "Vilvere".

Of course, Lucien's ability to achieve such an effect in just a few years is inseparable from his respectful attitude towards the beliefs of the Hall race and the loose policy. Therefore, Vilveer has also received the attention of other races. It is likely to become a popular area for migrant workers.

It is because of this that Priest Elaine has to bear even heavier pressure. Lucien knows that in recent years, the headquarters of the Church of Light has written letters to Priest Elaine more than twice as frequently as in previous years, and Priest Elaine is in various sacrificial ceremonies. He worked so hard to lead the priests below to actively participate in various charitable activities, especially the almshouse next to the temple.

Although the belief of the Moon Goddess of the Hall tribe only circulates within the tribe, no one can guarantee that this group of pagans will suddenly want to let the "moonlight shine on the earth" one day. The number of visits to the temple has increased a lot this year, and every month I will invite the priest Eleanor to come over for tea or to shine the holy light to prove that my beliefs have not gone astray.

After all, the God of Light is still the most common belief in the empire, and the foundation of the people of all classes is solid. Lucien is no longer in line with the mainstream in terms of territorial policy. It is better not to be too unconventional in terms of beliefs.

Fortunately, Priest Elaine is not a fanatic who is so devout that he can't rub the sand in his eyes, and he has a personality that is worse than something less. Lucien has done enough to make him feel safe and secure, and he is also happy. Cooperate with Lucien to stabilize the situation, help Lucien win people's hearts, and better control Velvet.

After all, he couldn't find a better way out, and he didn't dare to run away under the eyes of the lord.

Priest Eleanor touched his scalp, which had been feeling cooler in the past few years, and he didn't know whether he should be happy or worried when he heard the news that "the beautiful Hall that the lord lord liked is alive again".

He wants to know that most of the people who know the news should be in such a complicated mood that he doesn't know how to define it, whether it is the stakeholders who have been tossed by Lucien in the past few years, or the ultimate beneficiaries of various policies. of the Hall family.

You can be happy if you are happy. The temper of Lucien, who has enjoyed the beauty in the village, is more stable than the moodiness of the past few years. Those "I have a little idea" can also stop properly, and no longer set an example to take the lead in working overtime. Squeeze all subordinates until there is not a drop left.

Even in the past few days, the county government came home from get off work before dark, and there were no unexpected tasks, and no people were called up for meetings in the middle of the night. For the first time in a long time, Lawrence was able to catch up with Dalton and William and have a drink without talking about work. .

It was rare to get off work on time, and the next day was a day of rest for the whole morning. Dalton pulled his two colleagues to toast again and again, and he was about to fight all night——William left the scene after drinking half of it. He didn't want to waste his precious days off with a hangover headache.

And Lawrence stayed and drank two more glasses with Dalton. William's devout believer of light was not there, so the two of them continued their stalls from the small shop on the street to the tavern at the end of the alley. In addition to the government's purchase of grain reserves, the surplus grain is brewed into mellow and sweet wine.

The tavern that Lawrence and Dalton continued to open was a new one in the city, and the owner was a lame Hall.He hired two young guys from the relief center to work. The store sells the special fruit wine of the Hall tribe, which is sweet and sour and must be mixed with ice water to drink. Many Halls who work in the city will come here in their spare time. Have a drink, and it will be stuffed again during hunting season to taste a fresh out-of-town guest.

The blockade did not affect the flow of people during the hunting season. Velvet still provided a complete one-stop processing service for the adventurers who came here to pan for gold. The price increased by [-]% - Correspondingly, the price of Warcraft products has increased by nearly [-]% in the past two years. Even if the blockade period officially ends this year, the price of Warcraft products has not shown much sign of falling back.

Lawrence ordered a glass of cider with plenty of ice cubes, and Dalton still ordered a glass of ale. Both of them were a little drunk. You and I started gossiping secretly about the relationship between the lord and the lord. Lawrence took the lead in bringing up the lord. The master's radiant appearance fully nourished by love extends all the way to certain adult topics with color.

Judging from Lucien's reaction afterwards, he shouldn't be the one who suffered.

It can be combined with Lucien's physical condition and physical strength and Izzy's force value that can knock down William with one hand...

Dalton picked out a piece of ice from the cup and chewed it, suppressing the horrible picture in his head that made him feel chills all over his body.

Faint eyes fell on them from all around. As high-level officials of the county government, the two of them are no strangers in the city of Rollers. Just sitting and drinking together is enough to attract attention, and they can even get drunk , chatted about the lord's romantic news.

Such a big and fresh melon, but anyone who has ears can't help but stand up for fear of missing half a word.

So when you want to inquire about some news or listen to some rumors in the alley, the tavern is the most convenient place, and when you want to spread some news, the tavern is also the most suitable place to leak.

Lawrence's cheeks were flushed from the smell of alcohol, and the lord had been gossiping too much, so he casually asked what Dalton was up to recently, and was urged to make progress by the lord as if he was demanding debts from behind his ass.

Dalton was a little more drunk than him, and it seemed that he didn't quite understand what Lawrence was asking. He just wrinkled his face after hearing something vaguely, and muttered an obscure term vaguely.

"No, no, it's just... the bank's business."

He also only half-spoken, and when someone came to talk to him, he couldn't get the point out of the drunkard's confused speech, so he and Lawrence walked out side by side, talking privately about what a "bank" was.
