Chapter 80: To the City of Cilo

Yang Chenxili said as he walked along the way, and after a while, he arrived at the door of the government affairs hall.

The two got out of the car one after another, and at this time Ciri returned to his previous light appearance.

Yang Chen on the side couldn't help pouting, he had been with Xili for a long time, and he already knew what kind of person she was.

All in all, it's pretending to be cold in front of outsiders, and it feels like you know everything, but it's actually a joke, a little stupid and cute.

The guard at the door saw Ciri coming and saluted.

Ciri nodded slightly, his eyes unwavering.

took Yang Chen into the government affairs hall, and after questioning an official, he learned that Serrot was working in the office at this time, and after refusing the official who led the way, he walked straight to the consul's office.

As soon as they walked into the office, Ciri and Yang Chen saw Sero communicating magically with Farr, the lord of Ciro City.

Magical communication forms a curved mirror surface under a specific magic circle, through which both parties can see each other and talk to each other.

When he saw Ciri coming with Yang Chen, Serrot waved his hand and motioned to wait for a while.

The two nodded and sat down on the chairs next to them, and at this time, the conversation between Serrot and Farr, the lord of Ciro City, also reached the ears of the two of them.

"Did you say that the locust plague around Ciro City is getting worse again?" asked Serrot with an octave of his voice raised.

"Yes, though I don't want to admit it...... But it seems that this is true at the moment, and the locusts are multiplying too fast, not only in Cilo City, but also in other places in the Central and Western Plains......" said Farr on the other side.

"However, doesn't it mean that people should be encouraged to raise poultry? This will happen...... "Serrot was very puzzled, if it was somewhere else, it would be fine, because of the lag of the news, the locust breeding could not be interrupted in time by raising poultry, but this should not be the case in Silo City, after all, the original poultry breeding pilot was first carried out in the vicinity of Silo City, and the news that poultry can destroy locust eggs and larvae was also reported by Silo City first......

"We also encourage farmers to raise poultry, but they still don't believe it, and the chickens and ducks we distribute are slaughtered and eaten by them within a few days...... The reason is that there is no surplus food to raise......" Farr said with a wry smile, he also had no choice, this group of Diao people didn't take the decree seriously at all!

"Good...... I know what you're doing, and we'll find a way to deal with it......" Serrot said after a moment of silence.

"Wait......" Just as Serrot was about to end the communication, Farr on the other side stopped him. "Finally...... I'd like to ask...... Isn't there still a cult of insecticides that can be mass-produced?"

In this magical world, noble mages and mysterious alchemists are much more effective than government officials! Ordinary people may not believe the decrees of the government department, but they will never refute what the mages and grandfathers say......

"This ......" Serrot was silent again, he was the chief consul of the government department, and the research progress of the Alchemy Guild was naturally clear...... Not only that, but he also knew that the alchemists who leisurely spent government money to hold banquets every day did not take this matter to heart at all.

For alchemists, the lack of food for ordinary people has nothing to do with them at all...... What's more, there are still a few days left before the stipulated time, and they are not in a hurry at all now.

Originally, it seemed that it was difficult to improve the formula of pesticides, but for a team led by several alchemists and composed of nearly a hundred middle and high alchemists, it was not very laborious to study pesticides, and if the power was fully turned on, it could be completed in less than a week.

"Good...... I see......" Farr over there heard Serrot say this, and he already knew the bottom of his heart.

Farr, like Serrot, was one of the few civilian-born officials who understood the suffering of the people better than most of the nobles, mages and alchemists......

There are still relatively few cities like Ciro City that are completely under the orders of the government department and directly responsible to the Cecil family. In other cities in the central and western regions, most of the city lords are basically from local nobles, and they are greatly influenced by the power of the aristocracy, and the common people living there are undoubtedly much worse than the residents of areas such as Xiluo City, which are directly regulated by the government affairs department......

Not only do they have to pay the taxes paid to the government office, but some nobles also take the corresponding aristocratic taxes from them...... Such a continuous payment of taxes has led to a heavy burden on the people's lives, and with this locust plague, that day will be even more difficult......

After all, in this world, it is still up to the nobles to have the final say! The two commoner-born officials are still subject to a lot of checks and balances......

Serrot couldn't help but sigh deeply after finishing his magical communication with Farr.

In this transcendent world, the nobles can be said to have absolute power and power! Ordinary people have no way to successfully advance to the transcendental, so naturally they have no ability to resist!

Either live aggrievedly or die a painful death, and there is no other choice!

Serrot rubbed the corners of his forehead slightly, and then suddenly remembered that Ciri had come with Yang Chen.

So he stood up, walked to the side of the reception table, and sat opposite Xili Yangchen.

While reluctantly maintaining a smile, he said, "Miss Ciri, Your Excellency Yang Chen, don't you know what the two of you are looking for me?"

Theoretically, the entire government office serves the Cecil family, but after all, there is a specialization in the arts, and now Ciri is only the heir of the Cecil family and does not serve in the Nonnan government system, so Serrot only remains humble rather than humble when facing Ciri.

"I'm here to solve the locust plague in the Central and Western Plains!" said Ciri straight to the point.

"Oh, I wonder if Miss Ciri has any good idea?" asked Serrot with a smile on his face.

He knows Healy, and maybe Heri has no problem with his military strategic command ability, but he is still a fledgling in handling government affairs......

This time, Brooke Cecil, in addition to the reason why he could not guard Cecil City because of the need for him to guard the small world, also did not hope to take this time to let Ciri familiarize himself with the meaning of Noonan's government affairs first.

After all, as an independent lord, in addition to knowing how to do good things, you can't be ignorant of government affairs.

"It's not that I have a way, but that His Excellency Yang Chen next to me has some ideas in his heart......" Ciri said with a secret pout.

"Oh?" Serrot couldn't help but be a little surprised, and glanced at Yang Chen curiously.

As the chief consul, he naturally has channels to get the news, not to mention someone like Yang Chen who can enter and leave the Cecil Mansion at will.

Serrot couldn't help but recall all the information he had learned about Yang Chen.

Name: Chen Yang

Gender: Male

Age: Unknown, in his early twenties.

Career level: Alchemist master level, accomplished in magic construction, in addition, suspected to be a transcendent, the specific transcendent direction is unknown.

Place of Birth: Unknown, according to himself, he has lived in the Warcraft Forest since he was a child, and was raised by his teacher.

Teacher's origin: unknown, it is said that he has passed away. According to the students taught, Yang Chen's performance showed that he was very knowledgeable, his alchemy level and magic construction level were extremely high, and he should also have good extraordinary abilities.

Personal Experience: Originally appeared in the adventurer's gathering place outside the Warcraft Forest, and was later urgently dispatched by Brewer, the leader of the Feather Guard team, to fight against the invaders of the wolf cavalry.

After that, he broke away from the temporary team and settled in Bluestar Town, where he began to show his level of alchemy-level potion making.

Later, he led his followers westward to fight against the invasion of Warcraft, and during this period, he showed a good level of magic structure production, and the magic puppets made were comparable to high-level transcendental!

In the end, he ventured to rescue Ciri during the Warcraft invasion, and was taken back to Cecil City by Chris, who arrived later, and has been living in Cecil Mansion ever since.

Although there are a large number of words such as said and unknown, Serot did not show too much surprise, after all, there are many hermit masters like Teacher Yang Chen, and many bigwigs will find someone to inherit their mantle before they die, and there are many people like Yang Chen who have followed their teachers to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests since childhood.

However, now that he heard that Yang Chen had a way to solve this locust plague, Serrot still didn't believe it.

So after the initial surprise, Serrot became interested in Yang Chen, no matter what, he was a disciple of a hermit master, and it didn't hurt to listen to it.

"Then can Your Excellency Yang Chen tell me about your specific thoughts?" asked Serrot curiously.

"I wonder if Mr. Serrot has ever heard of the phrase 'cash for work'?" Yang Chen smiled slightly and asked with a little mystery.

"Cash-for-work? I haven't heard of that word yet...... Can you please explain it in detail?" Serrot read it lightly a few times, but he really hadn't heard of this word, and while thinking about it, he couldn't help but become more and more interested in the method in Yang Chen's mouth.

"The so-called cash-for-work is to abandon the food and other relief materials that were previously given to the victims free of charge, and if you want to obtain these relief materials, you must exchange them for labor!" Yang Chen explained.

Hearing Yang Chen say this, Serrot already had some vague thoughts in his heart, but he was still a little unclear, so he asked Yang Chen to continue to explain.

So Yang Chen directly put out the follow-up thoughts and thoughts, which were exactly what he told Ciri on the road just now.

Although Ciri had sounded confused before, Serrot was clearly different, and he not only reacted quickly, but also refined the details.

For example, the purchase of poultry such as chickens and ducks, the planning of transportation routes, the performance appraisal of how much each person works every day, and even the implementation of various details specific to the town......

This made Yang Chen sigh very much, and the more he chatted with Serrot for a while, the more speculative he became.

In his opinion, Sero was undoubtedly a somewhat consul, but he was limited by the times and did not discover his talents.

In comparison, Yang Chen was just standing on the shoulders of giants.

For a whole afternoon, the two of them discussed the specific implementation details of the whole plan, and in the end, a perfect disaster response plan had been formed!

According to Serrot, this solution can not only be used in this locust plague, but also has a strong reference effect on the treatment of other disasters!
