Chapter 226: The Newspaper Is Born
The Salted Fish Merchant leaves Tomorrow's Bar with a sad face, and he gets two sodas, but the price is also huge.
In the next few days, he will temporarily put aside the salted fish business to transport the victims who want to go to Tomorrow City.
Shuizhu Port can't handle so many victims, and he can use a boat to transport them to Tomorrow City.
Of course, this is not a completely unpaid job, and Tomorrow City at least has a little conscience, and gives the salted fish merchant a transportation fee of ten copper coins per head.
His cargo ships were mainly used to transport salted fish, and they stinked badly, and he didn't know if the victims could bear the smell of salted fish, but he could earn at least five or six gold coins by carrying a whole ship of fish.
The money is too small, it is better to sell salted fish.
But the smell of soda tickled his heart, this product has been sold for a lifetime of salted fish, and after he has money, he wants to eat good things that have never been eaten in the world.
Now that he had such a rare item as soda, he didn't want to lose this opportunity.
Walking on the street, he saw a group of cat-eared loli, fox-eared loli, lion-eared loli and other children running around, holding a stack of large gray-white papers in their hands.
"Tomorrow City really doesn't use paper as paper, it's like a weed on the side of the road, it's really a loser."
The Salted Fish Merchant shook his head, admiring and curious at Tomorrowcity's paper-making capabilities.
What are these children doing with those papers, they really don't treat paper as paper?
"Uncle, do you buy newspapers, I sell newspapers." A cute cat-eared loli stood in front of him, twisting, and unleashing a brand new newspaper.
"Little sister, paper is a rare item in Shuizhu Port, don't sell it casually, be careful of being spanked by your father." The salted fish merchant reached out and wanted to touch Lori's cat ears.
Cat-eared Lori took a step back, turned her head to avoid the lionman's gentle big hand, and covered the paper to report: "Uncle, if you don't buy the newspaper, I'll leave, this is the latest issue of the newspaper in Tomorrow City, it's the day, it's very popular." ”
"Ah, show me." The lion man reached out and wanted to take a copy, but was pushed by the cat-eared Lori and stupidly refused.
"Two copper coins, thank you." Cat-eared Lori shook her excited cat tail, and her mouth smiled happily, revealing two small tiger teeth.
"For you, for you." The salted fish merchant was amused, this little Lori is so cute.
Newspapers have a poor friction texture, and they belong to the lower quality paper in Tomorrow City, but it is cheaper.
"Even if it is the lowest-quality paper in Tomorrow City, it is a strange shortage in Shuizhu Port."
The salted fish merchant sighed, slowly looking at the item called the newspaper in his hand, and at first glance he saw a few large bold characters on the first page.
"Tomorrow's city is a big victory, and the mayor of Southbank has been shot in the heart!"
After reading this line of super huge black headlines, the salted fish merchant was directly in his heart.
The salted fish merchant was not from Tomorrow City, but from Shuizhu Port, and when he saw that the content of the newspaper was so exciting, he was immediately aroused by curiosity, and at the same time there was a faint sense of fear in his heart.
Tomorrow City went to the town of South Bank to loot and captured South Bank?
Is it going to target the Pearl Harbor next to the south bank?
There were a lot of question marks in the salted fish merchant's heart, and he was nervous before he could see it.
Looking down, the second subheadline is the number of kills report.
"Killed 6 enemies, the mayor and deputy mayor died from shooting, and the progress of collecting people went smoothly......"
That's a bit of a small kill...... The salted fish merchant instantly judged that Tomorrow City had not broken through the South Shore Town, otherwise the number of enemies killed should have started at two or three hundred.
The body of the next content is much smaller, the arrangement has become tighter, and the content is much more detailed, which fascinates the salted fish merchant at a glance.
I saw him muttering while watching: "The nobles in Nan'an Town have taken over the military power, and the army of Tomorrow City is in line with the civilized strategies of harmony, freedom, and friendliness, and this army did not choose to attack, but chose to issue an announcement to the victims outside the city, indicating that Tomorrow City is willing to help these disaster victims, and take care of food and housing, but they need to exchange their labor for labor remuneration......"
The first page talks about the good news of the battle in Nan'an Town, first talking about the testimonials of the army before the expedition, talking about the process of encountering the army of Nan'an Town in the middle, and finally writing the good news that the victims were successfully retracted.
After reading the first page, he spread out the newspaper and saw that the second page was not about military operations, but about the opening of a new shop in the commercial street of Tomorrow City.
"Tomorrow's hot pot restaurant will open, which has soup and marinated hot pot, stewed hot pot, boiled hot pot, our store has beef and pork from Baiyin City, a small amount of lion meat (limited supply), fish from Shuizhu Port (a large supply), chicken from Saltpeter Town, and the above are supplied by some suppliers who do not want to be named."
When the salted fish merchant saw the fish in Shuizhu Port, he couldn't help but exclaim, "It can't be the fish I sell, right?" ”
The salted fish merchant not only sells salted fish, but also fresh fish, but he is not the only one who sells fish, and other merchants also sell fish.
After reading the second page, he looked at the third page, which told a short story about the construction site.
A kobold from Saltpeter Town, after labor, was named the third labor pacesetter in Tomorrow City.
The following is the labor pacesetter's acceptance speech:
"Thank you to Tomorrow City, thank you Lord Allen, I couldn't even eat, my son was dying of hunger, I cut meat and fed my son, and I held on all the way to Tomorrow City."
"Tomorrow City didn't refuse us, and I was so touched by the fact that he used special trauma medicine to smear my waist wound and avoid food and shelter......"
This is a story of a mother who used to cut meat and feed her children, relying purely on labor to feed her family, her efforts are relatively rare in Shuizhu Port, even if the low-level orcs work hard, the income from their efforts will be levied and taxed by the nobles or city lords, and in the end they will barely survive.
But this is not the case, hard work leads to a way out, and for the first time, the Salted Fish Merchant discovers that Tomorrowland is different from other towns.
He originally thought that it was just an emergency method for Tomorrow City to increase the labor force, and it was only suitable for the early stage of entrepreneurship, not for long-term development.
But now, the effective return has an indescribable effect on the construction, not only improving the efficiency of work, but also rallying the hearts of the people, making the orcs of Tomorrow City worship Eren even more.
This is a cult of personality that has even risen to the level of faith, unilaterally worshipping Allen as a human being, and enthusiastically embracing him no matter what decisions it makes.
"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, tomorrow city newspaper today, record today's big and small events!"
"Want to know what's going on in Southbank, come and buy a newspaper!"
There was another sound of selling newspapers in my ears, and the little Zhengtai also joined the ranks of selling newspapers, and catching those middle-aged uncles was a fierce sales pitch.
The orcs put down their work and used a copper coin in their hands to buy a newspaper.
Now the orcs are no longer the hard slave laborers they used to be, they have more time to live, and they leave work at six o'clock on time.
However, there are many orcs who volunteer to work overtime, and there is certainly an element of overtime pay in this, but they want to work overtime from the bottom of their hearts and want to build a better Tomorrow City
Standing in this vibrant town, the salted fish merchant had the idea of living forever.
