Mu Chen woke up Qi Luna early the next morning, he had been thinking about the current situation of the Employer Management Association, all he had heard from all over the place during this time, all he had heard was negative news, and he wanted to see for himself what had changed.

The Mercenary Management Guild was established by the thirty-first emperor, and the mercenaries at that time were not trusted and were not allowed to enter the city, and the guild was also set up outside the city, and the earliest passes were also prepared for them, and the way they treated the wastelanders is the same as now, the humans do not regard the mercenaries as their own kind at all, and some people even think that they are just monsters in the form of humans.

The current emperor inherited the system from his father as it was, and it was not improved until Mu Chen returned to Infinity City. He changed the attitude of the royal family towards the mercenaries, standardized the behavior of the mercepts, moved the association from outside the city to the city, and the way of interaction was no longer only assigned by the imperial nobles, allowing the common people to negotiate spontaneously, appropriately reducing or exempting the poor areas that could not afford to pay the fees, increasing cooperation with the human army, all hirers must abide by the laws of mankind, and the criminals were arrested by the association and handed over to the human beings for punishment, etc., because of these changes, the two sides helped each other and benefited each other, and they got along safely for nearly thirty years, Mu Chen didn't know what went wrong, and he didn't know how the mercenary management association would become what everyone said。

"What are you going to do?" asked Jiayue as she pushed open the door.

"Go out and come back in a moment, and you can go back to sleep." Mu Chen didn't plan to bring their sisters, he didn't want them to see what the Employer Management Association he had worked so hard to improve was now, and he didn't want the two wastelanders to get involved in the problems of their race.

"Where are you going? Go out early in the morning, what do you want to do behind our backs, get up, Chunyue, Mu Chen is going to run. Jiayue knocked on Chunyue's door half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"I said you..."

"What's wrong, what's wrong with Mu Chen?" Chunyue opened the door in a panic and looked around for Mu Chen.

"Why is it so noisy early in the morning? Dark Orange yawned and walked out.

"Alright, all up. Mu Chen shook his head helplessly.

"Mu Chen, where are you going, sister, what did you just say?"

"He was going out with Nana and asked him what he was doing, and he was prevaricating with me, and it was certainly not a good thing to carry us behind our backs. ”

"Alright, alright, don't find a chance to hurt me, hurry up and wash up, and take you with me. ”

The three of them went back to their rooms, and the maids prepared toiletries for them, and after everything was cleaned up, they went to the garden to meet Mu Chen.

"Patriarch, where are we going?" asked Mocheng.

"Association. ”

"What are you doing there, it's all in name, what else is there to see. ”

"It's me who wants to go, as long as I haven't been laid off, I have to go and see, if you don't want to go, you can go back." Seeing Mu Chen's ugly face, Mo Cheng didn't dare to reply.

"Mu Chen, is it the Employer Management Association? I also want to go and see what kind of place has so much power and can still manage you. Chunyue teased.

"The association can't manage the pioneers, everything we do is directly negotiated with the royal family, not the association. ”

"Lord Mu Chen, the car is ready. The butler waited at the gate.

Five people got into the car one after another, and the carriage drove west along the road, and the merchants on both sides of the road opened one after another, and the number of pedestrians gradually increased, a thriving scene.

"The people here look so happy, living in such a prosperous city, the streets are clean and tidy, the merchants are everywhere, and they don't have to worry about the attack of demonic beasts, and the expressions on their faces are much happier than those in Shanling Village and the black market. Chunyue sighed as she looked out the window.

"This is a state city, naturally not comparable to those places, in addition to raising a family, the people who live here basically do not have to worry about life safety, and their mentality and expression will naturally not be as distorted as the mountain spirit village and the black market. ”

"The villagers of Shanling Village are also quite pitiful, living in such a place, it is a world of difference from here, I can kind of understand their way of living. ”

"What can you understand? Do you understand how they are deceived and deceived? Wicked people are wicked people, and there is nothing to understand and sympathize with. Jiayue retorted to Chunyue and directly blamed her.

"If you think of the three tribes of your wasteland as state towns, and the nomad settlements as mountain spirit villages and black markets, do you think there is any difference? No, the tribe you live in is strong, has the rules set by the chief, helps and takes care of each other, and knows how to respect each other, while the nomads have no fixed place to live, and they do everything to survive. ”

"Should we be understood and forgiven if we have bad living conditions?"

"What I want to say is that whether it is in the human continent or the wasteland, regardless of region or race, such things will happen, they may be forced or voluntary, but if they choose that kind of life, they will choose the same price accordingly, which is quite fair, so you understand, sympathize, dislike, hate, it's all right, judge according to your own thoughts, and you don't need to impose your position on others. ”

"You couldn't accept it at first, but now you understand what it matters for me to talk to my sister here. Jiayue couldn't say anything about Mu Chen, and she lost her temper.

"It's... The female summoner was angry again, and she turned her face when she said it, and she didn't have any energy at all. ”

"You..."

"Ahem, I said why are you two arguing again, Mu Chen, can you not keep messing with my sister. ”

"I'm speaking for you, it's hard to be a good person. ”

"Haha, you deserve it, shut up. Jia Yue sneered at Mu Chen proudly.

The carriage had been moving westward for a while, and Mu Chen felt that the direction was wrong, so he poked his head out to take a look, and the buildings outside were obviously dilapidated and old, completely different from the scene when he first set off. In order to facilitate communication, the Employer Management Association is generally built around the Noble Council, so it should have traveled south according to the route, Mu Chen asked Mo Cheng in surprise: "Where is this?

"This is the slum of Xicheng, where the homeless villagers who have been attacked by demonic beasts are housed. The association moved here two years ago. ”

"Moved to the slums? The Employer Management Association moved to the slums?" Mu Chen couldn't believe it, and asked twice in a row.

The sisters looked out the window at the same time, all of their ragged and haggard faces, and they stared at the magnificent carriage with the same amazement, the bright colors of which did not fit the background.

"There are still such places in the city, what are the slums for, how can they be like the villagers of Shanling Village, they can't see a little life in their eyes. ”

"Chunyue, you wait a while, Mocheng, let me ask you, has the association really moved here?"

"Really... Now, the hires are basically in direct contact with the nobles, and no longer accept tasks through the guild, and you have been like this for less than a year after you left. ”

"Alright, I got it. Mu Chen leaned back in his seat and replied weakly.

"That's... Chunyue, the slum is a place of residence for people who accept the destruction of their villages or those who have no livelihood and are forced to wander, some of them drag their families to beg everywhere, some gather into groups to do evil, in short, it is a factor of social instability, and the establishment of this place is also to settle them for unified management, but there is no effective way to get them out of poverty, so all entrances and exits are guarded by guards, restricting their freedom. After the young city lord came to power..."

"Okay Murphy, I see, thanks. Chunyue saw Mu Chen's melancholy expression and interrupted Mo Cheng's explanation.

They and their group were not interrogated, and they knew that they were either rich or expensive just by looking at the carriage they were riding, and the guards here were mainly aimed at those who went out, fearing that they would enter the city and affect the law and order. But since his full name De took over, he vigorously promoted the tax reduction policy, encouraging chambers of commerce and shopkeepers to hire these poor people, so many poor people living here have work permits, and as long as they show their documents, they can enter the city, which is the part that Mo Cheng did not finish.

"Girl, our efforts have been in vain. Mu Chen had a feeling, in order to prevent the hirers from becoming a tool for humans to deal with demonic beasts, he fought against the imperial power and nobles for several years before improving the management mechanism of the association, so that the hirers could also enjoy the rights of human beings, and also regarded themselves as a part of the human race, but now they have returned to the same as they were thirty years ago, and they have become the same as their names, only serving the rich, and only living for the word mercenary.

The carriage stopped at the door of a dilapidated log cabin, four or five meters wide, the upper part of the open door had been detached from the door frame, and the corner of the door was obliquely blocked by two bricks, leaning against the wall.

Mu Chen walked on the creaking floor and entered the wooden house, Qiluna and Mo Cheng followed closely behind, Jiayue and Chunyue were still outside looking around at the surrounding scene, and their expressions of disbelief appeared on their faces, the same city, the east and west directions are so far apart.

"I told you, I can't find anyone with no money, you better go out quickly, don't disturb my sleep. A young man with his feet on the long table and his face covered with a hat said disdainfully.

"Isn't this the Employer Management Association, I heard that the fee can be waived, and I will definitely pay you back when I earn money in the future, I beg you, help me." "A boy of thirteen or fourteen with dirty hair, tattered clothes, and barefoot begged, and he had many scars on his body, and the blood stains were no longer visible on his clothes.

"If you don't have money, you don't have to talk about anything, get out of here. ”

"I beg you, I beg you. ”

"I've said it all... Who are you?" the young man took off his hat and got up to drive the young man away, when he saw Mu Chen and them standing at the door.

"Eh, are you in charge of this?" asked Mocheng.

"Who are you? dare to talk to Ye like this, what's the matter today, I'm not long-sighted. ”

"I think you're looking for death. With that, Murphy went up and kicked him in the crotch.

"Quick, come on, someone... Trouble. The young man covered his crotch with his hands and knelt down with his legs in pain.

"Who, who. ”

"Who doesn't want to live anymore and dares to come here to make trouble. ”

"Bring me the knife, let him have no return today. ”

There was a lot of noise in the inner room behind the long table, and after a while, several big men came out of it angrily, each grinning with teeth and a fierce face, it was originally a mutually beneficial and mutually beneficial employer management association, but now it has become a den of bandits, Mu Chen sighed and turned to go out.
