Chapter 48: Three Years Later (I)

"Hey, it's been getting less and less rain this year. I don't think there will be any rain this month, so I really don't know what to do when the time comes!" said a middle-aged carpenter dressed in a worker's costume and trimmed eyes to a familiar old customer friend.

"Isn't it? Two years ago, it started to show signs of this, and this year, the water shortage has worsened. There have been several times when my family's land has almost run out of water for irrigation. It can be seen that this old customer is also one of the victims.

Hearing his friend say this, the middle-aged carpenter with trimmed eyes nodded, and said with a happy expression: "Brother, you don't know anything about this! The big city next door, the water shortage in Yuba City is even more serious. At this point, he lowered his voice again, looked at the people around him, and whispered to his old customers: "I heard that even the groundwater is starting to dry up, and those nobles in the city of Juba continue to destroy the underground water source while leviing high taxes. ”

After listening to the inside information told by the middle-aged carpenter, the old customer's brows were furrowed: "You said that those nobles still don't know how to destroy the underground water source, which will dry up the groundwater in the future of Yuba City." Isn't this the rhythm of death?" After a pause, the old customer turned his head and muttered again: "No, my son is still in the city of Juba, we need to tell him to move quickly." It's best to be able to live in the rain. ”。

When the middle-aged carpenter heard the word "rain", he suddenly came to his senses. Hurriedly asked: "Old man, do you have any special way to become a citizen of Rainland!" It is no wonder that the middle-aged carpenter is so out of shape when he hears the word "Rainland". After three years of vigorous operation, Yudi has already been reborn and has become the most dream city of Alabastani people.

Not only ordinary people, but also some nobles, are proud to be able to live in the rainland. However, the current rain land has long been closed to the public for residence, unless it is possible to join unless it is a contribution to the rain land or a noble.

"Ah、、、 old man, don't be so loud. The old customer looked around, lowered his voice and said, "Stinky carpenter, don't you remember that my son-in-law is a staff member of the rain banquet?"

The middle-aged carpenter asked, "Old man, don't lie to me, last time you said that he was a middle-level administrator of a club in Yuba City." ”

"Yo, you're really on the bar, where is the rain land 、、、 a few years ago compared to Yuba City, my son-in-law is indeed the intermediate administrator of a club, but it's just the rain banquet club in the rain land. In the past, I wasn't afraid of losing face, so I said that I was the intermediate administrator of Yuba City. The old customer crooked his big cigarette gun and said unexpectedly: "Now, Yudi has more potential than Yuba, of course I have to tell the truth." Sure enough, my vision is good enough, and I choose a good son-in-law!hahaha!"

"Forehead、、、" The middle-aged carpenter pushed the rimmed glasses, but he said in his heart, he is really a cheeky old man. "Is there a way first, I still have some savings, if you can help me become a citizen of the Rainland, I can give you 1 million Bailey. ”

"Uh! I'm sorry for that! Help, definitely help. When I heard that I would give a benefit fee, the smiles of the regular customers became warm.

"Then thank you, brother、、、 hahaha, but this million Bailey still has to be given, and it's not easy for your son-in-law, isn't it. Don't excuse me, brother. The middle-aged carpenter scolded in his heart "old shameless" and "dead money", and he was embarrassed, I bah, I collect money faster than anyone else. While smiling, he handed the money to the old customer.

And this is just a microcosm of the recent period, and there are many, many more things like this. Since the construction of Rainland by Klockdahl, Rainland has become a dream city for the people of Alabastan under a series of deliberate management. And the rain banquet built in the middle of the rain land has become a place where many rich people spend a lot of money.

----------------- gorgeous dividing line-----------------

Looking at the rain banquet everywhere, there were gambling crowds everywhere. The senior administrator sitting in the base camp of the rain banquet smiled contemptuously: "Man! that's it, as long as you give a few small favors, it's like a fly that smells a stench." ”

That's right, Yuyan has its own unique way of doing business. On the surface, it maintains the usual fairness and impartiality of the casino. Never hack other people's bets, even if someone wins more money, they will pay for it. Moreover, it is strictly forbidden for unscrupulous people around the casino to take revenge on those who make profits, and even explicitly stipulate that gamblers are protected in the rain. But is that really the case?

Of course, it's not that simple. First of all, Yuyan has always put a long line to catch big fish, and will even lend them money, and then lose it back to the casino. In the end, there are not a few people who go bankrupt, but this kind of thing is what you and I want, and the rain banquet will even persuade some poor people to stay away from gambling. Therefore, even those who abandon their homes and bankrupt do not end up thinking that the casino is causing them harm, but resenting their bad luck. What a terrible thing it is to sell someone else and ask that man to count him in money.

Moreover, the rain banquet has always collected taxes from the profitable party. As a result, the loser has no complaints about the casino, while the winner naturally takes the dividends to the casino for granted. Therefore, the role played by Yuyan is always a winner, how can he not make money.

Thanks to the success of the Rain Banquet over the years, Klockdahl has enough money to support the operations of a series of criminal syndicates, B.W., and the black market trade.

On the other side, the underground chamber of the rain feast, the base camp of Klokdal. At this time, important personnel under the command of Klockdahl had been accumulated.

There is a lot of space in the secret room, and there is a long table in the middle. And many senior cadres sat around the long table. And sitting on the main seat, Hao Ran is the behind-the-scenes boss of the Baroque Work Society, and he is also the king's Seven Martial Artists Klockdal.

"We have summoned you because our plans have reached a certain point. Klockdahl opened his mouth and said, I have to say that after Klockdahl became the president, he became more and more dignified as a superior. With this opening, the people below suddenly unconsciously straightened up. After a pause, Klockdahl continued: "Let's report on the progress of the plan for which you are each responsible. ”

"Yes, Boss Klockdahl, you have brought me to the attention of the dynamics of the sea, this is the new powerhouse of this generation. Among those who enter the Great Passage are those whom you have pointed out to pay attention to, the Boss. The person in charge paused, and then said: "Among them, the highest bounty is Nicole Robin, the son of the devil, with a bounty of 80 million Bailey. There is also Fire Fist - Portcass D. Ace, with a bounty of 7.6 million Bailey. ”

"Interesting, it's finally here, Nicole Robin. Klockdahl finally showed an inexplicable smile, "And that person's son, Fire Fist Ace, has already obtained the Burning Fruit? The newcomer who has not been out to sea for a long time has a strength of more than 70 million so quickly." It's the blood of that person!"

"Keep an eye on these two people and report to me as soon as there is any situation. Klockdahl thought for a moment and said.
