In mid-July, the cooperation with the Barak Kingdom officially began, and in less than half a month, more than 300,000 people poured into Atlanta City.

This is not the same as the mercenary mages, these are the people who can really do the work, and before the technological transformation is completed, there was a shortage of such labor in the early days of the construction of Atlanta.

With this first batch of 300,000 people, the construction speed of the Western Industrial Zone has been greatly accelerated, and hundreds of workshops have been established every day, and the output of the magic motor car can finally be limited to accessories.

However, rapid development has not only brought benefits, but also caused many problems.

City Hall.

Conference Room 1.

Atlanta's top brass are largely concentrated here, and even the newly established Department of Agriculture is in attendance.

"I'll start with a report on the financial situation. Charles nodded to everyone, then took out a stack of statistics and said: "Since the official opening of Atlanta City on July 1, it has been half a month, with a total income of 2.3 billion gold coins!"

Everyone was in an uproar, and even they were a little shocked, there were 2.3 billion in half a month, wouldn't it be more than 5 billion gold coins in a month?

After everyone quieted down, Charles continued to report: "The income mainly comes from shopping malls, and a lot of it is loans, so I suggest that these independent accounts in the future will not be included in Atlanta's income." ”

Ari thought for a while and didn't fully agree: "It's not time for Atlanta City to be self-financed, urban construction needs the financial support of these industries, and there is no point in independent accounting, and it is too late to wait for the West and North Districts to be completed constructively." ”

"That's fine. Charles nodded, because that was exactly what he was going to talk about next.

"After reporting the income, the next step is the expenditure report. ”

"Before July 1, a total of 3.5 billion gold coins were used, of which the main sources of expenditure were resettlement fees, demolition costs, industrial costs, urban construction and personnel salaries. ”

"The resettlement fee and the demolition fee are all one-time investments, accounting for the vast majority, and if this part is removed, the fiscal has basically reached a breakeven ......"

Ari nodded again and again, although the industries in Atlanta City belong to the mid-to-high-end luxury industry, the salaries of personnel are also far higher than the mainland level, and they can break even in half a month, and Charles has contributed a lot.

When Charles's report was completed, Lilia stood up expressionlessly, nodded to everyone, and said: "In the past half month, the crime rate has increased by 15% compared with before, mainly because of the intention of making money, and the mobile mercenaries commit crimes, these people are highly mobile and difficult to deal with, so I apply to expand the establishment of the Security Department, which can more effectively curb crime." ”

When Charles heard that the establishment was going to be expanded, he quickly coughed twice, and said with a smile: "I support the containment of crime, but I think the expansion of the establishment is still up for discussion...... Atlanta City's current financial income is good, but most of them are loans, and many projects are waiting for money, and the garrison department has a lot of establishment, and many of them are mid-level samurai, and their income is much higher than that of other professions......"

After Charles said this, Ari quickly noticed that everyone in the room nodded in agreement.

In fact, this is a very real problem.

Atlanta City is now a very large department, resources are limited, each department wants more, even Ari, can't help Lilia on this issue.

Lilia obviously noticed everyone's expressions as well, and said with a frown, "The current manpower of the Security Department is far from enough......"

"Atlanta's finances aren't healthy, either......"

"Stop!"

Ari stopped the two, thought for a while, and said slowly: "What you said makes sense, but the crime still needs to be curbed, and the establishment must also be controlled, not too bloated." ”

"In this way, the Garrison Department divides crimes into five grades, extraordinary, severe, severe, mild, and slight. Mild and mild are solved by the security department itself, and if it reaches the severe, social forces can be used, such as the establishment of a bounty hunter organization, I think this matter can be handed over to Joffrey, and the mercenary group will issue a bounty to the outside world, and the money for the reward will be paid by the criminal, if there is no money, after serving the sentence, he will be pulled to work to pay the money, and then released. ”

"That's good, the salaries of those masters hired by the Garrison Department are really too high! If the reward is solved, not only can the resources of the masters in the city be used to a greater extent, but the cost can also be paid by the criminals, which is absolutely beneficial and harmless!"

After listening to this, Lilia also sat back quietly, she did have a rigid need to expand the manpower, but she also felt that there was no problem with Eri's proposal, as long as there was this bounty order, the masters of the entire Atlanta City could be snagged, and they didn't have to spend money to raise them every month, which was much better than the previous plan.

Seeing the silence in the conference room, Fina stood up and pulled away from the conversation.

"Okay, let's talk about what happened on the mainland recently. ”

"The situation between the Chaman Empire and the five empires has become more and more tense recently, and the price of these iron ore and grain has skyrocketed several times, and even Atlanta City has been affected recently, and the price of grain has increased more than three times, reaching forty copper coins a pound (1 pound is about 1.1 catties), so I propose that Atlanta City ban the sale of grain, and can start to sell some weapons to the Manchester Empire. ”

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

“......”

"Okay, don't make a repeater......" Ari smiled, turned his head to Lian, who was present for the first time, and said, "Director Lian, give us a report on the results of the Agricultural Department." ”

Since Eudora's accident, he has not had time to take care of the affairs of the Department of Agriculture, so he is as unfamiliar with the specific situation as everyone else.

Lian waited for so long, just waiting for this almost, and it took a long time before she forcibly broke down her smile, stood up and said elegantly: "Everyone, I will report to you the results of the Department of Agriculture in less than ten days. ”

Hearing this, Ai Rui couldn't help but cover his face, the elves really love to be in love, and they have to emphasize ten days......

"Thanks to the unremitting efforts of the Department of Agriculture, our current grain reserves have reached two million tons!"

Ten days.

Two million tons!

Everyone in the conference room was shocked, this is not yet the time to harvest grain in the autumn, where to get so much grain!

Seeing that Lian was still enjoying everyone's questioning eyes, Ai Rui couldn't help but urge: "Ahem, you can directly uncover the mystery with everyone......"

Lian glanced at Eri dissatisfied, but still explained: "The reason why this effect is achieved is because our Agriculture Department uses wood magic to promote plant growth, and the process from sowing to harvesting can be completed in one day, and the time of the Tower of Time and Space is seven times that of the outside world, and the outside world can harvest seven times in a day......"

Charles made a simple calculation, and his face suddenly appeared shocked.

Two million tons of grain is at least enough for 10 million people to eat for a year!

Charles shook his head again and again: "This is too exaggerated, if this output can be stabilized, the rest of the mainland will not be far from death!"

Hearing this, Ari sighed, shook his head, and said, "I can't do that for the time being, the current strength of Atlanta City is not enough, and it will bite people if those empires are pushed into a hurry." ”

"What are you talking about? Why don't I understand? Lian looked at the two of them with a confused expression.

Irry didn't sell it, and explained: "Imagine what would happen if we could maintain this production and sell it to the outside world without restrictions. ”

"Everybody has something to eat, and they make a lot of money. Lian said as a matter of course.

"Wrong!"

"If you sell more grain, the grain is not worth much, and if you are a farmer, will you continue to grow food?"

Lian shook her head: "No, I can buy cheaper food, why should I grow food?"

That's right, in this case, the farmer won't continue farming because he can't support his family. ”

"It's good not to farm, but wouldn't you be able to make more money by doing other things?"

"Not to mention if there are so many jobs for them, even if they can find other jobs, then everyone on the continent will come to us to buy food. ”

"yes, aren't you making a lot of money?"

"But what if I wait for them to get used to buying food from me, and suddenly I don't sell it to them?"

"How can you do this, you don't sell grain, what do they eat!"

"That's right, if I don't sell food, they won't have anything to eat, do you think their lives are in my hands? ”

"I see...... But why are you saying no?"

"Because those countries are not as stupid as you!" Ari sighed, "Can't people see this? If you don't have enough strength, people will come to rob you directly, and Atlanta City can't be the enemy of the whole world." ”

"I see......"

Ari said with a smile: "Okay, but although you can't do this, it's still okay to make some money, there are a lot of things to do at present, first of all, we must sell grain to those empires at a high price, as long as we don't let them know our output, if there is a large amount of grain at this time, they will definitely be willing to buy it, even if the price is a little higher, it doesn't matter, and then the price of grain in Atlanta City must be suppressed and returned to normal levels." ”

After solving the problem of food, the next thing at the meeting turned to urban construction, but this was less urgent than finance, security and food, so Ai Rui didn't come up with any more ideas, and everyone discussed it themselves and solved the problem.

After the meeting, Lilia finds Ari.

"I know about Eudora, if necessary, I can lead the Dragon Falcon Army into the mountain range, give me half a month, and I will definitely pacify them. Lilia had been calm when she spoke, but Ari still had a faint sense of the war frenzy in her calm heart.

"No, Eudora says he can figure it out himself. ”

"He can't solve it, so let me go. ”

"This matter is so decided, next year, you will definitely be afraid to fight!"

"Words count. ”

"Words count!"

Lilia got the promise and left satisfied, while Ari had a headache, how could they all be interested in war, Joffrey was like that, Lilia was the same, and Ari remembered that the Boys' Gang was the product of Lilia's gang fighting.

Isn't it good to farm and develop science and technology trees, how discordant it is to fight and kill every day.

The meeting has just begun. Ari didn't want to worry about Atlanta. After thinking about it, he simply went back to the Duke's Palace to visit Eudora.

In the Duke's Palace, Eudora sat quietly at the top of the castle alone, alone.

"Why, still thinking about life here?" said Ari, smiling, as he walked over and sat down beside Eudora.

Eudora recovered from her trance, and when she saw that it was Ari, she barely smiled.

Ari hurriedly stopped him: "Well, you better stop laughing, it's worse than crying." ”

After saying that, Ari didn't care about Eudora and quietly watched the sky in a trance.

Eudora hesitated for a while, stopped talking several times, and finally couldn't help asking: "Boss, do you say, am I a human ......?"

Ari was a little speechless: "I've been thinking about this for so many days, and I've been thinking about this question?"

Eudora's eyes widened, "Isn't this question important?"

"Of course it doesn't matter, Lilia and Joffrey are not of elven blood, my teacher Felix is a Titan, have you seen them worry about this?"

"But I may be a barbarian......"

"Do you have a way to prove it? Why don't you ask your parents and see if they recognize you as a barbarian?"

"That's ...... forget it"

Ai Rui spread his hands and said: "Isn't this enough, is it so important, if the identity of a barbarian is good for you to be a barbarian king, then you should be, wait until you don't need it, and then deny it." ”

"It can still be ...... like this"

"Stupid!" Ari sighed and asked, "What are you going to do about the affairs of the barbarians, I have left it to you, and you will deal with him." ”

"Don't deal with it, he injured the wings of the cerebellar axe, you took one of his arms, and that's it. ”

"You've said it's over...... By the way, are there any after-effects of the madness?"

"Except for being a little weaker, there are no sequelae, but in the process of madness, although I am conscious, I often rush out of my mind with killing intent. ”

"What about strength, how much has it improved?"

"It's probably about the same as a sixth-level samurai, and whether you can fight it or not depends on the situation. ”

Ari nodded: "That's the next two levels? It's not bad, don't go to the battle recently, and have time to fight with Joffrey to improve each other's strength." ”

Eudora frowned, "But if I don't go for a long time, I'm afraid I'll lose control of the two hundred barbarians." ”

Ari waved his hand: "It's okay, send a letter to gather them back, if you don't want to, you will be an enemy then, I believe he will make the right choice." ”
