The public trial meeting held in the Civic Square of Moon lasted for three days, and the attitude of the city's inhabitants towards Elena's regime shifted from awe to intimacy. For the first time, they discovered that apart from the famous Grand Magister Gastens Warren, the administrator of Elena's regime was so different. After they took over the city, they did not rush to collect property, nor did they burn and loot, but really regarded themselves as the managers of the city, and called themselves "the people's government". The townspeople didn't understand the term "people's government" at first, until Garence and Elena's people cleared the city of the dark forces left behind in the city through a public trial, and they realized that these people maybe, maybe, probably really want to put down roots in the city.

"The results of the public trial meeting are good", in the luxurious office of the city government, Elena took over the team is busy nervously. Acting Mayor of Elena, Garence Warren, stood by the window, looking at the row of hanging corpses in the civic square not far away, and his tone was full of relief.

"Only death can be awe-inspiring."

Brett Warren quoted a quote from an Archmage who didn't know which one of them, and stood beside Garens. As the manager of Elena's small team in the city of Moon, he has no lighter burden than Garence.

"Now that we've solved the law and order problem, the next thing to solve is the problem of eating," said Gallens, who left the window and sat back at his desk. Welsh Tomlinson, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly stepped forward and handed Gallence a thin stack of information. He was a student of economics at Roseville University, but after abandoning his studies for communism and spending some time in Elena, he was arranged to join Garence in taking over the city of Moon. Although only twenty-four years old, Tomlinson didn't seem to be under much pressure to take over the city, and while Gallance and most of the entire takeover team were busy cleaning up the city's dark forces and people's enemies, he and his team were busy sorting out the city's economic situation and functioning. He knew that when law and order stabilized, the issue of the economy, or more colloquially, the issue of food, would be at the forefront of their working group.

"Tell me, what's going on now?" Gallence took the stack of materials and looked at it while waiting for Welsh Tomlinson to introduce it.

"Not particularly good," Tomlinson stood straight, his father was an ordinary clerk at the Rosville Revenue Department, and he was taught from an early age to be respectful of leaders, "The largest industry in the city of Moon is the manufacture of enamel, including cutlery, basins, buckets, and the like." This property used to be the family business of the chief executive, Scandi Eriederick, but now because we came, the Eridri family has run out, leaving two people with foreign surnames to watch the factory, and the two processing factories on the outskirts of the city have been suspended. In addition to this, there is a textile factory, two bread factories, a small machine factory, and one is in operation except for the bread factory, and the rest of the factories have also been suspended, and it is estimated that more than 60,000 workers are now without work. Although they still have food to eat for the time being, according to our survey, most of them have no more than a week's worth of food in their homes, and if we count from the time we moved in, most of them have less than four days of food. ”

Hearing this, Garence frowned. Unlike the countryside, city citizens do not grow food and do not have their own barns or cellars. In the countryside, or in Elena, you don't really need to worry too much about food. When Gastens took them into Elena, most of the serfs living in the Elena area had half a year's worth of grain in the landlord's house, which was directly confiscated, which was the food for life. Even in the small town of Elena, many of those townspeople have relatives, friends and even their own land in the countryside, and they don't need to worry about food. At that time, what Gastens needed to solve was actually the problem of eating the soldiers who were following him. But now Gallance is facing a food problem for the city's more than 200,000 residents, and if it is not solved well, then there will be a big problem in receiving the city.

"How's the food reserves in the city?" , Asking, Gallence looked at Welsh Tomlinson in front of him, and had some expectations for him. Unlike himself, this young man is a student from Capital University, and he should have a better solution.

"The grain reserves are average, there are three large granaries in Moon City, two of which belong to the city government, and they are basically empty when we come, one belongs to the Eridri family, and there is probably more than half of the stock. There are still some small and medium-sized grain stores and grain merchants in the city, but there are no exact statistics at present. But from what we know, there is probably enough food in the city for the citizens to feed for two months. ”

"Two months from now?" Garence asked subconsciously, remembering the lesson Gastens had given them before they left.

“…… One of the characteristics of a city is that once it is cut off from the outside world, it loses its self-sustaining power. Especially when it comes to food, which is a necessity of life, cities are extremely dependent on the surrounding countryside and transportation. While taking over the city, it is best to stabilize and restore the order of agricultural production around the city as quickly as possible, and ensure the food supply of the city. And the restoration of the order of agricultural production involves our agrarian revolution work......"

Shaking his head, Gallance combed through Gastens's advice and found a preliminary idea.

"More than two months is enough, Charlie Harry and his team are pushing around for land reform, there has already been a land reform in the vicinity, the big landlords and reactionaries have already dealt with it, and it should be done again soon, and there is no need to worry too much about the food problem. According to the manual given to us by Gastens for the takeover of the city, after solving the law and order problem, we are now going to resume industrial production as soon as possible, and it happens that this matter is also related to our property policy, I have a preliminary plan before, just to listen to you, and see if there are any comments. ”

As he spoke, Garence pulled out his notebook over and over again. Several core members of the office who were working in the office leaned over to Gallance to discuss and decide to take over the direction of the city's work next.

Aidan Ronan navigated through the crowd, exerting all his strength to find a place to stand at the front of him. From him, he could clearly see the platform in the center of the civic square, the police standing under the stage, and the officials of Elena standing on the stage. Behind those people, on the right side of the platform, are a group of criminals who had been tried a few days ago, and their bodies had been hanging there for three days, some of them were rotting, and many mosquitoes and flies could be seen flying around them. Aidan Ronan's gaze lingered on one of the corpses for a moment, his eyes a little more relieved. That man was a gangster leader in their neighborhood who often led people around to collect protection money, and the money taken from their home alone was close to 70 rams. Now that the man is dead, no one dares to ask them for protection money, and although business has been clean recently, Aidan Ronan still feels happy. He looked at the corpse for a moment, then turned his gaze to the stage.

"I heard that the property rights policy will be announced today."

"But no, do you want to be a communist?"

"No, these people didn't do anything bad after they entered the city, I don't look like bandits and robbers."

"Who knows, look, didn't you see that the big guys have already run away? These people are the smartest, these people on the stage are going to engage in communism, and when the time comes, everything we have will be everyone's, your house, your clothes, your land, and the money you earn, but it's everyone's—"

Around Aidan Ronan, many people were talking softly. Although it has only been four days, everyone has become accustomed to the way Elena and her gang publish policies through the platform of Civic Square. And the mayor they sent to manage the city has become the mayor that everyone is most familiar with. You know, the previous Scandi Eredri, many citizens have never seen it a few times in their lives.

Because the gangster leader who often bullied his family was killed by Elena's people, and their soldiers did not harass him, Aidan Ronan's first impression of Elena's people was good. He wanted to refute the person who said that Elena wanted a communist wife, but he couldn't think of a way to refute it for a while. However, it was not long before someone refuted the man's words.

"In their love of the small town of Elena, in their own territory, they didn't say that they would confiscate everyone's things, you don't know anything, spread rumors, are you the spies sent by those big capitalists and feudal forces, are you the enemy of the people?!"

The accusations coming from Aidan Ronan were harsh, and Aidan Ronan looked back and saw that it was the young man named Devara Rohm. Three days ago, at the first public trial, it was he who pointed out Johnny Eight-Fingered, and let Elena's people destroy the city's biggest evil force. Aidan Ronan had a good impression of Divara, and he also helped with it. The man who spoke saw that everyone didn't believe him very much, and walked away. Devara Rohm stared at the man for a moment before he greeted Aidan Ronan and introduced each other.

Aidan Ronan is a shoemaker, or more precisely, his family has been a shoemaker for generations, having lived in the city of Moon for more than a hundred years. His family's workshop is called Ronan Shoemaking, and although it is only a small workshop, it is also well-known in the city of Moon. And the shoes they make are inexpensive and of good quality, and many people in this city have heard of them, and Devara is no exception.

"Haha, what a coincidence, these shoes on my feet are made by you, it's been three years, and it's still so comfortable, thank you!"

Divara was a waitress at Sunny Sky Restaurant, and Aidan Ronan knew that restaurant was the most exclusive restaurant in Moon. He smiled at Devara and talked about the announcement.

"They said they were going to announce the property policy today, and I was a little worried, so I came. You're a worker, so you're fine. But we have more than 30 helpers in our family, and if they are counted as bourgeois, will our property be confiscated? ”

Ronan's shoemaking is the bread and butter of Ronan's family, and everyone fears that the new arrival, Elena, will confiscate their assets. This time, Elena informed that she was going to announce the property policy, and Aidan Ronan decided to come as soon as possible. And at his house, everyone has already packed up all their belongings, just waiting for Elena's policy to be announced, if they really want to confiscate it, they will take everything they can take away and leave.

"Probably not, right?" Devara had a smile on her face, "They are dealing with the big capitalists, those big factory owners and big aristocrats, those vampires who live by sucking other people's blood!" Brother Ronan, you also make shoes yourself at home, and the helpers also make shoes, either handicraftsmen or petty bourgeoisie, you should be fine. ”

"Let's hope so, or we won't have anywhere to run......"

Aidan Ronan is telling the truth. Unlike those big aristocrats and big capitalists, their families have lived in Moon City for generations, and if they really want to run, they don't know where to run.

“…… Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Civic Square. Next, I would like to announce our property policy, and by the way, I would like to refute the rumors that we are going to have a communist wife......"

Mayor Garence Warren, who was standing on the stage, had already begun to speak. Aidan Ronan had a good impression of the serf-born mayor and quieted down. Devara also stood beside him, quiet. The whole square fell silent as Gallence began to speak.

“…… Elena's communism, in the final analysis, is to enable each and every one of us to live a good life, and to overthrow the reactionary forces that weigh on our heads and suck our labor and blood. For those big capitalists who oppress the workers, we will confiscate all their industries and take them under the ownership of the Elena government, and the workers of the industries can go to work as usual, and we will temporarily issue food stamps according to the original wage standard, and everyone can exchange food for food at the People's Livelihood Bureau through food stamps. If you don't want food stamps, you can ask for cash, and you can also buy food at the grain store......"

At the beginning of Gallens, Elena describes Elena's policies towards the big capitalists and the big aristocrats, which Aidan Ronan can guess and will not affect himself. Moreover, he also had a bad impression of those big aristocrats and big capitalists, so naturally he had no objections. What he is concerned about is what to do next about small workshop owners and petty bourgeoisie like him. Divara Rohm seemed to sense his nervousness and patted him gently.

"It's okay, Brother Ronan, Elena has said it, they are the people's government. Do you think you are the people? ”

"yes......"

Ronan replied uncertainly, and fell silent again, Gallance on the stage was about to talk about their property policy, and he didn't want to miss it.
