Chapter 14: Ring City OL III
Wisteria Town (expected specialty: Wisteria wine), the town has a total of 23,000 acres of reclaimed land and 11,000 acres of woodland. Among them, the 9,000 acres of land on the southern slope are fertile, with abundant sunshine and uniform humidity, which is very suitable for growing grape plants for making red wine. The town can also take advantage of this to develop the winemaking industry and create a special product "Wisteria" brand wine, which will give Wisteria Town a place in the Emerald City.
In the future, the Emerald City will set up a council of administrative officers and a joint council under the Queen.
When the administrative officer has an overview of the overall situation, the liaison meeting is used to decide on "critical, long-term" major decisions. The members of the joint meeting are called "co-members", and the total number of seats is undecided. In addition to the royal family's natural three seats and one veto, the church will also have three seats and overseer, with the Emerald City Council occupying three seats and the executive chairman, and the remaining seats going to the representatives of the towns that have developed special products and whose economic strength has reached a certain standard.
Shen Yan decided to use the "parliamentary system" for the purpose of being moderate and inefficient...... Yes, inefficient. As we all know, the best way to achieve quick results is poisonous vegetables, as long as the leader is wise enough and works hard, it will soon develop. The trade-off, of course, is that the minor aspects are overlooked; If you want to carry out the meeting system steadily, study more and operate less, be cautious, advance five and retreat three, and reduce the chance of making mistakes through a slow pace.
Because of the narrow world around the city, it can't withstand efficient leapfrog development. "Low-key, environmentally friendly, and sustainable" is the goal, and "high consumption, high speed, and high pollution" simply cannot afford to play.
But inefficiency is not nonsense...... Before entering, Shen Yan had talked to more than Benjamin and Benjamin, he had come into contact with everything that showed his ability, and gave corresponding benefits (that fruit). In the future, these people will enter the joint meeting, and Shen Yan wants to control it, which is a snap of his fingers...... Benjamin may be able to reach the position of mayor, councilor, or even city lord at the highest, but the elf king is impossible.
There is only one eternal queen in the Bronze Country, and that is Penny. Penny has an ambition to rule the world (although the city was almost anarchic back then), so leave it to her.
The so-called "exchange of views sitting with the king on an equal footing" is nothing more than a beautiful fantasy that comforts ordinary people.
Power is truth, and this is the eternal theme of the High Demon World.

"It's all good land, it's a pity to grow grapes in this land." Benjamin pinched a piece of mud and pretended to sigh...... The companions looked at him with disdain, you used to carry a big bag on the dock, what kind of old farmer are you pretending! It's like you know grapes! As if sensing everyone's eyes, Benjamin's face turned red, and he quickly stood up and said, "Work!" Work! โ
Next to it were four or five plots of land that had been cultivated, and Benjamin stood in front of a meadow with his hands stretched out...... Squatting for a long time in a breath-holding manner, this posture made several companions want to laugh. After a long time, the grass in front of him suddenly burst into a layer of green light, and then the grass wriggled on its own like snakes and insects, and retreated in the opposite direction. Benjamin hurriedly kept his posture and walked forward, driving the grass closer to the river before stopping.
In less than half an hour, a clean strip of land was "cleared", and not even a single grass root was left on it. Benjamin was so tired that he sat on the ground, and several people behind him all felt envious, this awakened elf talent felt amazing no matter how many times he saw it.
"Don't look at me like that...... At night! I'll gather that thing and feed it to you in the evening, okay! Hurry up and get to work! Don't take this as a good thing, you are so tired to death with a special time......" was furious by the envious and jealous eyes, Benjamin begged for mercy again and again.
But he's not the rough guy he used to be, and he knows what to use to gather people's hearts. If it weren't for the fact that these people had taken his head as a reward from the beginning, he wouldn't have taken this out as a reward. When the remaining companions heard this, they immediately began to dig the soil with great energy. As for the one next door, you can only watch. The end of the world is close at hand, and this is the current situation...... So they also desperately built roads and reclaimed wasteland, hoping to open the wall between the two grids first.
Benjamin smiled and rested aside, in fact, he knew very well that the reason why his ability was so strong after awakening was because that fruit had nothing to do with the elven talent......
While everyone else was busy, he walked over to the transparent wall and pressed his hand against the wall.
I saw three lines of small words that only he could see on it:
[Current Money: -22 RMB]
[Current Merit Points: 115]
[Current Unfinished Mission: Sowing Reclamation (72% Progress)]
Everyone has these values, and the money is negative because the starter set (clothes, seeds, and sapper shovel three-piece set) is worth 100 yuan! That is to say, everyone starts from -100 yuan. As for whether it's worth it or not, Benjamin thinks it's worth it anyway! The total price is only 100, and that sharp sapper shovel can be used as a family heirloom!
From the beginning of labor, food is no longer free.
Each large stone bread is 5 yuan, and the broth is 1 yuan enough. For the time being, the town could only provide these two kinds of food, because the women had to cook these two simple meals in order to feed all the toilers in time. Benjamin knew that the money was paid to the people who cooked, and that their wages came from that.
Benjamin and others are paid by rewards for completing tasks.
As time went on, the elves began to differentiate themselves - like Benjamin, who continued to work as soon as he recovered from fatigue, and was therefore paid a very high amount of money when the task was settled. The daily rise in numbers is a powerful driving force, and he has quickly turned positive and paid off his arrears;
But some elves find that as long as they work half a day a day, they are enough to maintain food and clothing, and the owe money does not seem to have any effect. So he started fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, the most obvious being those second and third generations of city elves. If only that's it, but those idle elves are sneering at those hard-working, and even ridicule that the money is just a number, and it can't be compared with real money at all!
Benjamin felt that they were eating jujube pills......
Benjamin thinks it's good now - it's only right to work and get paid! Although the work is very hard, my heart is much more steady! In fact, everyone feels the same, but a few days ago they were raised with good food and drink, which made people frightened, and some of the timid ones couldn't even sleep.
The whitewashed elf was dipped in soy sauce and eaten something...... What if it's not a joke?!
I don't know what the merit value is, but Benjamin found that once he "commanded" the people around him, and the effect was very good, the value rose very quickly. Thinking of Shen Yan and what he said about "optimistic", Benjamin's heart was hot. He is now commanding the people of the other grids across the wall, and when he succeeds, he also increases his stats, which should be the highest among the people around him.
Speaking of Shen Yan, Benjamin glanced back at the "wall......
*****
After the questions were asked, while everyone was busy with their own business, some boring clerk was still hanging out on the "wall".
Because all the walls are connected, he can go anywhere at will. One moment he may be crouching and watching Benjamin "drive the weeds", and the next he will be running to the other end to see another group of people taming wild horses.
The six-legged wildebeest of the swan world is strong and has two stomachs. Although the absolute speed of running is not fast, the weight carrying capacity is more than a ton! And when running, the back is stable, it is a natural heavy cavalry mount, and the elves can even be fully armed double horses. Such a good horse breed, of course, has to steal a batch and breed it in the fragmented world.
If you just hang out, you can only observe the people's feelings as an officer.
The problem is that on the way to the inspection, he will also mutter some words to himself, which can still be heard by many people.
Something like: "I think I should build an energy tower first!" "The core reserve of steam is zero, and the situation is very serious. "Your tent can't resist tomorrow's cooling at a glance", "Why isn't the bread mixed with sawdust?" "The dead can be used directly as fertilizer"...... These are still good, at most I am confused.
But once, the secretary suddenly said, "I think the day after tomorrow will be minus 30 degrees!" โ
It scared everyone's souls! Collectively rushed to the wall to check the temperature of the day after tomorrow...... Fortunately, no matter how many times you check, it shows that the day after tomorrow is 27 degrees Celsius...... OK as well as yes! The riots were put down...... In fact, it was not until the "day after tomorrow" that it was confirmed that the commander was talking gibberish.
"My image of wisdom and martial arts has been ruined!"
Penny: "Those are logical errors...... ยท I can point to the light bulb and swear that this hypervisor really doesn't have a backstage copy of the ice steam era! I'm just borrowing, borrowing! โ
