Chapter 1176 98. The Endless Unemployed Population
“The maximum area that any person or force is allowed to rent does not exceed 100 hectares... Isn’t it true that all the money has been made away by those mud-legged people?”
< br>The former military minister of Rekaner, now in the office of the military minister of Free City, a noble with two curly beards is complaining loudly.
Reynardo sat on the sofa, holding a newspaper with hot tea beside him, and said slowly: "100 hectares is two miles long and two miles wide, isn't it enough?"
"Is it enough? How can we make money on such a small piece of land?"
"Horus, I thought you would become smarter if you took refuge in Free City..." Renaldo sighed helplessly and put down the newspaper: "This is obviously the treatment Annan has prepared for civilians. Haven't you seen anyone except you? , no one showed interest?”
“Our lord loves his people the most. Do you dare to compete with the common people? Do you think the lord is too young, or have you forgotten that he was hanged in the royal capital? How many nobles? "
Reynardo said this, and Horus' voice became much softer as he recalled the shadow that Annan brought to the nobles of the royal capital.
"What should we do? Lord Renaldo, I have always been your loyal subordinate..."
"Leave your loyalty to our lord." Renaldo smiled Laughing: "Since you want to take 100 hectares of wasteland, then take it. Show off your performance and get the best harvest during the autumn harvest so that Annan will remember you."
"Isn't that just being a dog?"
"Do you feel embarrassed?"
Horus hesitated, and Renaldo said calmly: "Do you know how many old nobles in the kingdom there are? You want to be a dog, but you can’t?”
“But he is not yet twenty years old…”
Reynado shook his head and didn’t want to talk to him anymore: “You’re not interested in a dog?” The chief of staff who gave up his real power was groveling, but he was dismissive of a rising young lord?
...
He stepped on a wasteland full of weeds, but Hunter jumped up and down like a child.
“This is our land!”
Next to him, Jack was much calmer and was busy counting the farm tools on the carriage.
A skeleton farmer, two boards, three bags of seeds, and four sets of farming tools.
"Go and move things down." Jack directed the skeleton farmer who had no emotion and only obeyed to move things, and then he was busy building a set of wooden boards on the edge of the wasteland into a small but leak-proof farmer's hut.
His diligence only went so far. As soon as he built his hut, he lay down on the wooden bed and let the skeleton farmer go to pioneer the land.
On the other side, Hunter, who ran across the wasteland crying and laughing, came back and saw that everything was thrown aside, Jack stayed in his cabin and was lazy, and only the skeleton farmer was working.
He went over to question, Jack rested his arm on his head: "Don't worry, there's still time..."
"Give me the land deed." Hunter stretched out his hand.
"What are you doing?"
"I won't cooperate with you anymore, I want to divide the fields!"
"No... no need..." Jack sat up quickly, "I don't Say no to it, just take a day off and recuperate..."
"Are you bullying me because I'm honest?" Hunter stood outside the door, blocking the door where he had to lower his head to enter. It has to be perfect
"No, how could it be?" Jack blinked and laughed dryly: "Well, since you don't want to, let's get to work first. I'll help you build the cabin first!"
Jack seemed to get up diligently and built Jack's hut next to it.
There is no way, if he can't cultivate 1 hectare of land by himself...
Hunter looked at it for a while, made sure that Jack was no longer sneaking around, and picked up the discarded land. Farm tools and plow the fields with the skeleton farmer.
Ten minutes later, the two pioneers in the wasteland raised their heads at the same time and saw a mighty motorcade coming from a distance and stopping at their adjacent land.
Then a group of guards ran on horseback in different directions, with some kind of yellow powder hanging from their horse tails sprinkled along the way, marking a huge territory.
Then they saw a noble man with a beard come out, walk around in the wasteland, and come towards them.
Except for the skeleton farmer who was plowing the field, 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. When he wanted to pull him a second time, the noble man had already walked in front of them.
Horus put on an approachable appearance, smiled and asked: "I am Count Horus, what is your name?"
"My name is Jack. , He's Hunter!" Jack said loudly.
"Jack? What a good name... Do you need help with anything?"
"How dare you trouble the Earl..." Jack smiled with a smile on his face, and almost pushed his waist into a right angle.
Horus looked up and saw that they simply planted flags at the four corners.
"There are only two of you, but you have to cultivate three hectares of land. How can you be so busy?"
"You are so busy." Hunter said in a dull voice.
He had never seen such a talkative nobleman before, and he was a little flattered.
Horus smiled and did not refute the two ignorant farmers: "We will be neighbors from now on, hoping to take care of each other...Adan, give them a share of our food."< br>
Jack tugged at Hunter excitedly: "Why don't you say thank you, noble lord."
Hunter remained motionless: "Thank you!"
Horus continued to inspect other neighbors. , Jack sent away the attendant named "Adan" with a large bag of food.
"What's the matter with you?" He complained, "Forget it if you and I are stubborn, that's a big noble. Even if he beats you to death, no one will speak for you."
"Lord Annan will."
“What?”
“Lord Annan said that there are no nobles in Free City, everyone is the same.”
“That’s stupid, everyone is the same. Why can he live in the City Lord’s Mansion? He can Order us, he can rent a hundred hectares and have a lot of subordinates. These are all fabricated to deceive us, telling us not to cause trouble and to be used as cattle and horses for them. Do you really believe it?"
"I..." Hunter felt something was wrong, but he was too stupid to say anything to refute.
Jack said proudly: "Outsiders can't believe it, so let us two brothers work hard to cultivate the fields and make a fortune!"
......
After resettling the residents of the kingdom , arranging workers and a series of large-scale deployments, Liberty City has become more comfortable doing similar things again. 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 come so many jobs have been created, but there are still so many people without jobs...
"No way, Liberty City doesn't have that many jobs at all." Olmedo said.
This is also the reason why most territories are unwilling to accept refugees.
They will have an impact on 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 distribute relief food to those who are unwilling to survive, and then let the guards The legion has strengthened its patrols to prevent crimes from happening."
The lord has to show his courage, Annan continued:
"Also, since they have nothing to do, just pull them to the school building. Go and learn.”
