Preparations were in full swing for the Southwest Pacific Trading Company's maiden voyage to the South Seas (East Indies), and a large number of high-grade materials unique to the Arc Islands and the land of China were taken out of the inventories of the guilds, forces, and groups in which they participated.

The attention that this remarkable journey attracted was so easily overshadowed by the hotspot of the 'Burn Down City' less than a month ago that few adventurers remember.

Of course, this is only the opinion of adventurers, and the earthlings are still indignant at the adventurers' wanton behavior.

After all, it was a large city with a population of more than 38,000 and a population of nearly 40,000, which was the only remaining spark of civilization inheritance in the world currently plagued by endless subhumans and monsters.

But a city of such an important technology was burned down by nearly two-thirds of the area in the 'infighting' between anomalous adventurers, and more than 20,000 people lost their homes, property, food, jobs, means of production, and everything necessary for survival.

All thanks to one of the 'culprits', a person who did not want to be named and gave permission to shell the city, the problem of labor shortage that had plagued the autumn garden for some time was now solved. Underpopulation of the colonies led to slow development? Is there no time for a new colony to be established?

Not ——!!! There are a large number of high-quality 'immigrants' who are eagerly looking forward to a new home.

Hmmm~ Of course this is nonsense!

"Adults who have unfortunately been smashed and burned down by rioters and homeless citizens do not have to worry, as an ethical, conscientious and socially responsible enterprise, SWIPT is committed to ensuring temporary accommodation and providing a permanent home for individuals or families free of charge."

New wooden poles were erected in the charred black ruins, and the broadcast magic system that covered the entire city and the propagandists of the adventurers continued to bombard themselves with high-frequency information and forcibly wash away a wave of public opinion.

"It was a misfortune, and the honorable Duke of Parr is deeply sorry for what happened to your lord some time ago, and I am strongly disgusted and condemned by the thugs who caused this disaster."

When he said this, Yuba Akiwa, who was trying to show her indignation at the 'burning of the city', thought that she should almost be able to get a little golden man.

However, his teammates didn't give it his strength, and he was working hard, but the legendary girl A was completely holding back and patient, not letting herself laugh... It's not like 'I'm trained to never laugh no matter how funny I am'.

Obviously, whoever believes what the girl just said is stupid. B. up.

The face of Duke Parr, the lord of Swan Castle, whose territory was turned into a scorched earth, turned red, really made people worry about whether he would have a cerebral hemorrhage, and it was really uneasy in the heart of Autumn Garden... It's weird~

"Let's talk about inviting the Duke to move here!"

Autumn garden Xiye is not to humiliate the other party to come on purpose.

And the Duke of Parr didn't want to come.

However, the invitation letter sent to her by the 'Southwest Pacific Trading Company' faintly revealed the threat in his tone, so he had to come over in person to visit the 'Longtan Tiger's Den' in his eyes.

There are not many people in the living room, which is not luxurious, but everyone present is a very important existence.

The equity distribution status is counted from high to bottom.

First of all, it occupies 12% of the Garan Courtyard (acceptable status, technology research and development, raw material supply), 10% of the marine organization (metallurgy, shipbuilding-related industrial capacity), and 8% of the Lodelich Chamber of Commerce (production process, strong technology research and development), which have mastered the core and unshakable capital.

This is followed by the HHH Regiment, the Liangfen Regiment, and the Black Sword Knights, which are powerful local powerhouses that occupy 5% each, and the Shuiyang Zhuluo is 6%, and the Garan Courtyard, the Marine Agency, and the Lodrik Chamber of Commerce form a permanent council.

Then there is the 8th shopping street, and the remaining 14 large guilds, forces, and groups that participate in the investment account for 3% each, and there are also four highly influential and resourceful landland nobles who have a 1% share each.

It's a monster that is beyond the reach of a huge individual.

However, this was not a formal meeting, so there was no need for the presence of legal representatives from each faction.

"It's just a gesture of goodwill to the people of the affected land."

The first sentence said that I didn't even believe it, but it didn't matter.

"The current situation of your Swan Castle in recent days is really distressing, I think that there are still 20,000 people who are sleeping in the open and sleeping, although I have donated 200,000 gold coins of materials together with all the good people here to help the citizens of the earth affected by the disaster, but this is really a drop in the bucket for a long time, this time I specially asked the Duke of Pal to come, just to frankly discuss the measures to help the victims of the disaster to tide over the difficulties."

Duke Parr didn't dare to follow Qiu Ting's words, he looked around at everyone present with a puzzled expression, whether it was the leaders of Xianban, Wenwen, Karasin, or the secretary who followed behind them, 'It should be so, if there is a difficulty, everyone must communicate in time. 'Nod of goodness.

Of course, the 200,000 gold coins and materials in the autumn garden are not rhetorical donations, but indeed tents, rations, etc., to provide necessary relief and materials for the victims.

Aside from the factor of providing shells for the battle for the position of public opinion, it has indeed done what the 'mouth kings' did not do, so the current image of the Southwest Pacific Trading Company... At least not at the bottom of the list.

Seeing that the other party vigilantly did not answer.

Xianban pointed to something, and his expression suddenly gloomy: "There are countless cases of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign superiors who have harmed one side and brought misery to the people. He asked.

A large cauldron was slammed on his head without saying a word, and the Duke of Parr immediately shuddered.

At this time, Wenwen also persuaded with kindness, and said to the Duke of Parr with a bitter conscience: "What should we do if someone rises up under the rule of the people in such a vain regard?" You have to think twice about this! ”

"Uh... No! No, no, no!! It's just that for a while, I can't help but feel sad when I think of the people under my rule who are now displaced. This is really a headache that makes people's tea and rice not fragrant! If the extremely intelligent President Qiu Ting thinks of any good way, I hope to teach him. ”

"I see! I can't imagine that the Duke always has the feelings of the people in mind, and he really deserves to be a model for us to learn! ”

Seeing that the other party knew each other so well, Qiu Ting Xiye spoke out with emotion to praise him, and Karasin, Xianban, Wenwen and others also came with all kinds of nice rhetoric, and the other party who praised him almost became a rare sage in ancient and modern China and abroad.

"At present, towns with a capacity of 3,000 people have been established in Stony Creek and Jihong, but basically a large number of houses are idle, as long as people pass, they will move in, and at the same time, they can relieve the pressure on Swan Castle."

Autumn Garden, Yuba said sincerely, "It's a win-win, isn't it?" He tried his best to persuade him.

This population is not only used to enrich the two mineral colonies, but also to be involved in a variety of industries in the vision of the Board of Directors of the Pacific Southwest Trading Company, all of which are in need of population! Huge population!! Massive average population!!

"So as long as the Duke enlightens the people of the realm, and the rest doesn't need to bother you to work, how about resting and recuperating?"

After a short period of three or two seconds, Duke Parr almost couldn't pretend to be able to show his true emotions, but in the end he still showed a look of enlightenment, and said excitedly with his hand, "What you say is very true!" Such a short sentence against his will.

There was only one person present, except for the Duke of Parr.

The adventurers such as Akiwa Yuba, Karasin, Haban, Fumibun, and their respective secretaries and lieutenants all smiled brightly, because in this way, they could be regarded as solving a big problem.
