Why?

Because Pelican Town, in addition to the so-called tourism and scenic spots, does not have too strong physical industries to support the economic development here.

In other words, although the migration of population seems to be a good thing, since the population has moved in, it is necessary to have a corresponding economic development to support the large influx of labor.

Only after these laborers can be fully employed and earn income can they be counted as the population that has truly taken root in Pelican Town.

But now, in addition to tourism, the real focus of Pelican Town and the surrounding Kingfisher Town is the same as Honglu Town, which is agriculture.

Agriculture requires a large number of workers only when the farm is busy, so it cannot absorb too much labor. On the other hand, although the farmland around Pelican Town has yet to be cultivated, the areas that can be cultivated may not be able to cope with the continuous influx of labor. In addition, I haven't seen any new farmland being cultivated around Pelican Town recently.

As for tourism, the sale and tourism of flower fairy products, which is the most important part of the tourism industry in Pelican Town, has always been tightly held in the hands of the mermaid song, and it is impossible to let go. With Pelican Town's other tourism industry, it is obviously not a viable option to absorb such a large number of laborers.

So......

Arrow's original estimate was that Pelican Town's properties would not appreciate because of this, and even if they did, they would not rise much. Because Pelican Town doesn't have any additional jobs, it simply can't absorb too many permanent residents.

But in this case, why did the number of people moving into the town become so large? And now even to the point of going straight to the size of the city?

"Boss, if you can, I want you to issue a decree in your capacity as mayor of the town."

Round Cheese was slightly stunned, but he was obviously aware of Arrow's serious expression now, and the excitement on his face gradually eased: "What's the situation?" Looking at your face, doesn't it seem like a good thing for our town to develop? ”

Airo exhaled, nodded slightly, and said, "I hope you will carefully review the identity of the purchaser and the source of funds behind him when you sign the move-in order and sell the house." Because I suspect that there is a good chance that someone is hyping up the property in our town right now. ”

"Hype?" Mayor Round Cheese looked confused, rubbed his fat face slightly, and said, "Hype...... What does it matter? Didn't they still spend money to buy our house? ”

Arrow shook his head lightly and said, "It's different. I now seriously suspect that the people who have recently come to our town to buy a house are not real residents, but have the capital to quickly come to our town to buy those idle houses after seeing that our town has excellent tourism resources. This way, the properties can be resold to people who really want to come and settle down. But...... I even suspect that the takeovers of the resale are not really residents, but the next batch of property flippers. ”

Round cheese frowned: "So...... What does this have to do with us? If they want to fry it, let them fry it. ”

Arrow smiled bitterly, shook his head slightly, and said, "It's a pity, things are not so simple. Boss, you think, a house can be bought for only five gold, but now it costs ten gold, and then after waves of changing hands, the price of the house will be as high as twenty gold coins, thirty gold coins, or even fifty gold coins. ”

"At first glance, this doesn't seem like a problem for people who have already had homes in Pelican Town, but once housing prices start to rise, it means that there is a lot of money pouring into our town. These wealthy investors are not very sensitive to the price of daily necessities other than real estate, in this case, we will think about selling the price of those daily necessities on weekdays a little higher, so as to be able to make a little profit from the price of the flipping house. ”

"If this continues, the price of daily necessities will also start to rise rapidly. After the price of daily necessities rises, the most vulnerable ones are the ordinary residents of Pelican Town. When prices skyrocket, this pelican town that we have been working so hard to run will make our own people unable to afford it. At that point, we'll probably be forced to leave Pelican Town and live somewhere else where prices are lower, and at that point, Pelican Town will truly leave us. ”

After saying this, the original smile on Mayor Round Cheese's face gradually stiffened, and finally, cold sweat began to break out on his back involuntarily. He touched his handkerchief, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and after thinking about it, he finally nodded: "I understand...... I'll go back and review it right away! Censor...... Censor...... It's better to have a decree, right? Uh-huh...... I understand...... Pelican Town is our ...... I must not allow Pelican Town to be snatched from the hands of our residents! ”

Seeing the cautious appearance of round cheese now, Eero is also very pleased.

Although he doesn't have any actual evidence to prove that someone is indeed flipping a house behind his back, and everything he just said is just an inference on his part, it is still necessary to prevent things from happening.

But it was at this time that ......

"Viscount Ritch Wald!"

Suddenly, the name of the viscount popped out of the mouth of the round cheese.

Upon hearing this name, Arrow couldn't help frowning a little, and even a little too lazy to ask.

"That's right, Viscount Ruichi! That's him! I remember! As soon as you say this, I can understand why I always have a strange feeling when I was approving before, and I feel that many people's applications are the same! Now that I think about it, aren't those people those guards under Viscount Ruichi?! ”

Arrow rubbed his forehead, seeing that he could no longer be silent, he exhaled and said, "Our Viscount of Swan Castle, has he done anything again?" ”

As if he had caught a savior, Round Cheese hurriedly reached out to grab Arrow's hand. However, Arrow quickly retracted his hand, keeping himself at arm's length from the mayor.

"That's him! He's the one who's buying a house in our town! ”

The mayor nodded vigorously and said loudly—

"Viscount Ruichi told me before! He said that he was very interested in the future development of our town, and he originally planned to use it as a leisure place for him, but after all these years of observation, he very much hopes that our town can develop into a city! ”

"Because as soon as a small town becomes the size of a city, then there must be a lord in the city. When President Arrow left at the end of last year, Viscount Ruichi seemed to have had several contacts with the old gentleman with the sugar-coated wine. He also boasted to me that he had the endorsement of a big man and that he could directly command Pelican City as a lord as long as Pelican Town could grow into a city! ”

"As for me, I, the original mayor, will be automatically promoted to the position of administrator after the town evolves into a city, assisting the lord in his daily work."

"Now that I think about it, it turns out that this viscount is making trouble? Is he so desperate to raise the price of Pelican Town just to create the appearance that many people want to settle in our town? Hum! ”

Arrow listened silently as Mayor Round Cheese vented his grievances here.

However, he was slightly surprised that Viscount Ruichi wanted to become a lord. But when you think about it, it doesn't seem like an impossible thing.

If I remember correctly, the title on Viscount Ruichi was not inherited, but the Wald family ran the property and made a lot of money, and after the rich second generation spent money to buy himself the title of viscount.

Since this title is bought after all, it is just a kind of reputation, and there is no real power.

So, what thoughts will Rick Wald, who wears the title of viscount all day long, have in his head after meeting Viscount Norris, who also has the status of a viscount, but has a territory?

Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that he wants to become a lord.

The only thing that surprised Arrow was that Sugarcoat would agree to let Viscount Ritch take over as the lord of Pelican City?

Well...... When you think about it, it doesn't seem impossible. After all, it is impossible for the Viscount to become the lord of too many cities at the same time, and even if Viscount Norris of Lagoon wants to lead, his title may not allow it.

At such a time, Rich Wald, a slightly stupid and unaffiliated newcomer with no factions in the aristocratic system, and almost a clean naissary, does not seem to be an unacceptable character. After all, in this way, he was able to win over this emerging nobleman and expand his power.

Thinking about it this way, Arrow also felt that it made sense.

It's just that I don't know if the large-scale purchase of real estate indirectly led to the rise in prices in Pelican Town, and it was the result of the Viscount's blind cat touching the dead mouse? Or did he really have some bad idea, or did he follow the instructions of the sugar-coated wine to get himself in here?

It was useless to think about it, and Arrow could only shake his head slightly and sigh. He let a smile appear on his face again, and said slowly, "Okay, okay, it's useless for us to just discuss this kind of thing here, right?" ”

Mayor Round Cheese, who was anxious over there, suddenly trembled, and hurriedly lay down on the counter, and said nervously, "President Arrow! You have a pretty good relationship with Viscount Ruichi on weekdays, right?! ”

If he could, Arrow really didn't want to have any contact with the viscount.

But now, he could only smile awkwardly and say, "What's the matter?" We don't know each other......"
