Chapter 429: The position wavered
As soon as these words came out.
Johnson frowned and confirmed suspiciously:
"An estimated number of hundreds of thousands of people?"
"Are you serious?"
Laypeople don’t understand what a population of hundreds of thousands is.
They are professional architects who understand.
In the entire Reyak Kingdom, only the royal capital of Starosh can reach a population of millions.
The population of several other large cities in the coastal plains of the western part of the kingdom is close to one million, and it is difficult to break through the million level.
Because this thing is not just about enclosing a piece of land and stuffing people into it to become a big city.
Don't mention anything else.
Light is the most basic thing.
How to ensure adequate water and food supplies?
The former is easy to say. Big cities are basically built along rivers or across rivers, relying on rivers to ensure water sources.
Food is different!
Although there are divine arts and magic involved in planting, transportation, storage, etc., every step means an increase in costs.
If the price of food is so high that no one can afford it, the city will soon decline.
Not to mention a series of economic, social and security problems brought about by the development of cities.
Most of the ordinary citizens living in the city are merchants and craftsmen. How do they make money to ensure their source of income?
Security issues are even more troublesome.
The bigger the city, the more difficult it is to manage.
If there is no stable order, a mixed environment is the favorite of those crazy cultists.
I will always make you some underground altar blood sacrifice, or secretly spread some doomsday doctrine.
Ceylon has only one big city, Ceylon City, surrounded by small towns and villages. In a sense, it is also the result of "natural evolution".
The conditions in this area could only support the existence of a city in the past.
There are no more conditions to build a new city.
Normally.
The establishment of a new city was accompanied by the canonization of the king.
Only in the earldom and even more noble nobility can a new city be born.
The feudal nobles were equivalent to assuming the responsibility of "pioneering".
If you want to give a piece of land the power to govern and make it truly prosperous, you have to rely on the efforts of the nobles themselves.
To put it bluntly.
It is equivalent to a fair deal between the nobles who accepted the canonization and the king.
The nobles worked hard for the king, and their reward was the power to govern the territory.
……
That’s why Johnson expressed doubts about Reina’s statement.
He did not receive any news about any upstarts near the Ceylon Territory who were about to be enfeoffed.
Leina pursed her lips and smiled.
“Of course we are serious.”
“You may not know what is happening in Ceylon.”
"We represent the Church of Seeking Knowledge."
Hearing this identity, Johnson took a breath.
Heretical believers.
As if to dispel Johnson’s concerns, Reina continued:
“We are solving the eternal night disaster that the Glow God Religion has not solved.”
"We can do what the Glow God Religion cannot do."
"The Eternal Night Disaster will soon be ended!"
"In order to rebuild our homeland after this disaster, We have made a plan to expand a new city based on Qim Town. ”
“There are sufficient resources and sufficient manpower. In fact, Qim Town has already gathered. Tens of thousands of people are waiting in a safe place for us to solve the Yongye disaster. "We are even ready with the deposit."
As she spoke, Reina turned over her hands and took out two gold coins and two pieces of paper from her satchel.
Johnson took the piece of paper and asked doubtfully: "What is this?"
The piece of paper was outlined with exquisite patterns, and there was a "100" in the upper middle. words.
Leina explained: "Destiny Points."
"This is the currency that can be circulated in the Church of Knowledge and the future Qim Town New City. 100 Destiny Points can currently be exchanged for about 1 gold coin.”
Seeing the actual gold coins, Johnson’s suspicious and nervous expression faded a lot.
If the value of the destiny points is true, the other party is equivalent to taking out 4 gold coins at once as a deposit!
This is quite a big commission for him!
The deposit alone will allow the whole family to have food and drink without worries for more than a year in the future.
"What are you going to entrust me to do?"
If you can get the final payment, it won't be an exaggeration to open it for three years!
Leina smiled and said: "Design the building according to the needs and go to the site to use magic to help build it."
"According to our rules, Mr. Wayne will be responsible for reviewing the architects' applications "
"The corresponding order applied for is deemed to be accepted, and the corresponding deposit can be collected immediately."
"The balance will be paid immediately after completing the construction task." br>
“By the way, we have prepared 500 gold coins for the deposit in advance, as well as the corresponding destiny points.”
“As long as the architect has enough ability, he can earn It’s all his ability.”
After listening to Reina’s description, Johnson secretly made a calculation in his mind.
The gold coins paid to the architects will not be faked!
He is not a heretic believer, he just accepted the other party's commission.
Legal speaking, there is absolutely no problem with this.
The risks he wants to take are issues beyond legal principles and invisible aspects.
For example, in terms of stance.
Johnson had to admit that his position was wavering.
Because the construction situation in Ceylon City has indeed been somewhat bad in recent years.
The number of commissions decreased, the market was sluggish, and his income also decreased significantly. When he was unlucky, he even had to borrow some money to support his family's expenses, and his life was tight.
Now there is such an opportunity for him to make a lot of money.
It was indeed difficult for him to refuse.
And - if the other party is really like what they described, they can also solve the disaster that the Glow God Religion cannot solve.
By that time, the Glow God Sect may not be able to forcefully violate the people's will and drive away the heroes who solve the disaster.
......
As if to confirm what Rena said.
Johnson is still struggling.
The sky outside is getting bright!
The same point in time.
On the other side of Ceylon City, the main force of believers led by Peter got the "Illusion Core" gem, and the eternal night was ended.
Johnson, who rushed to the window to confirm the situation, was stunned by this scene!
“You did it?!”
“Eternal Night is over?!”
What the other person said is true.
This so-called heretical church is not bragging at all!
After saying "The eternal night disaster will soon be ended."
How many minutes has it been?
The sky really lit up again!
The previous feeling of depression and heaviness has also disappeared!
Leina smiled happily.
By coincidence, Peter made a beautiful cooperation with her unintentionally.
At the point where persuasion is most needed, there happens to be a very convincing "evidence".
Johnson's position was changed.
"I've accepted your request!"
......
Also, keep on beating!
