This is York's second visit to White Mist City, the last time was about a year ago, when he and His Royal Highness the Prince went to the city to buy daily necessities, there were almost no daily necessities in the castle, and there were no beds, quilts and basic utensils, and two ships were hired to deliver them for that big purchase. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This time it's not about buying things, it's about picking labor.

York knew that the prince was short of money and men, so he selected the able-bodied labor force from the slums, and only needed to provide them with food and clothing, and did not need to be paid like the townspeople. In this way, development needs can be met without being stalled by a shortage of money.

If you want to take a group of people from the slums, this matter must be done quietly, without alarming the local administrators.

Every city has slums, and the bigger the city, the more poor there are. There were almost 10,000 poor people in the royal capital, accounting for one-sixth of the city's total population, and they almost circled the periphery of the city.

Their low standard of living and extremely poor living conditions have seriously affected the image of the city, but the administrators have not driven them out, but acquiesced in their existence, for what? The more populous the city, the stronger the city, and no one cares about what the population is.

Of course, the capacity of cities is also limited, and it is impossible to increase the number of poor people indefinitely, otherwise there will be large cities with a population of more than 100,000 on the mainland, but no one in such a place dares to guarantee safety and basic survival.

It's the same with White Mist City, the poor people here are related to the strength of the city, and York won't make a big deal of propaganda that the town needs labor, and you will come with me to have food and clothing. If he did, he would soon be put in jail.

The best thing to do is rumors.

As long as there is a lot of work to be provided in the town between them, those who go to work can be fed and clothed, and those who cannot see a way out will go to try their luck.

In the slums, there was a lot of noise.

"My lord, please give me a chance. A man in ragged clothes pleaded bitterly with a young man who looked like an aristocracy.

"No, you see that you are thin, can you lift wood or can you dig stones? I'll give you a chance, what if you can't do it when it's over? When the time comes, Lord Lord, blame me, I can't afford it, get out." The young man walked away angrily, and it seemed that he was clearly a Yorkie knight.

The man sat on his knees and began to cry.

This short time is already surrounded by people, and everyone loves to watch the excitement when they have nothing to do.

"What is a big man crying for? "Some people don't like men's behavior.

"You know, I just had a chance to leave the slums forever and I couldn't take it, and you think I shouldn't be sad. The man stopped crying at once, and righteously accused the person who had just spoken.

"Going, where are you going?" a crowd of onlookers took the bait.

"Hmph, I don't want to say it. The man put on a haughty look and didn't bother to tell them.

"Say it, you just say it. The curiosity of the onlookers was hanged.

"For the sake of your long-time neighbors, I'll tell you. "The man is close to everyone, and in the first three days of this year, the two ends of the next door will be changed, who knows if the person in front of him is a neighbor, he said this, everyone thinks so.

"The Lord just now is the Knight of Ravenwood Town, and this time he came to White Mist City to buy food. I have a cousin who works on the docks, and he told me that there is a shortage of workers in the town, and that people who go to work have three meals a day, morning, noon and evening. As he spoke, the man gestured to his three fingers, emphasizing that he could eat enough to eat.

"Didn't Silas, a big merchant in the city, recruit blacksmiths everywhere a while ago, and that was for Ravenwood, and it is said that the salary is not low. I asked my cousin for a favor, and when I saw the knight today, I said that I didn't want to be paid, just to take care of the food, but the knight thought I was thin and couldn't work, and this is what happened just now. The man became sad again.

"Really? I'm strong, I can go. "There is a person who is interested in thinking that he is much stronger than men, but in fact he is not much stronger, and how strong can he be in living in an environment where he does not have enough to eat all year round.

"You, save it. The knights have already left, and there is no way to go if you want to. The man said mockingly. If there are performance awards in this era, he is a strong contender.

After listening to his words, the onlookers all sighed, it was a pity that such an important news was not obtained earlier.

"Why can't you help it, you're just stupid. A stocky man standing in the crowd stepped forward.

"What do you mean?" the man was visibly unhappy that someone was scolding him. Roll up your sleeves and get ready to do it at any time.

"Isn't there a way to get to Ravenwood, Lord Knight? Wait, you just don't want to tell everyone. The short and fat man seemed to think of something, and said in surprise.

"No, don't spew blood. The man was a little flustered and dodged, not daring to look at the people around him, as if something had been revealed.

"Look, he wants to keep this good thing to himself. The short and fat man pointed at the man, and indignantly accused him of ignoring the feelings of his neighbors for many years, and that a way out of the slum should not be told to everyone.

"What the hell is going on?" the crowd of onlookers couldn't understand at all.

"Lord Knight is gone, the ship that can be loaded with food is still there, as long as you sneak in tonight, when you get to Ravenwood Town, you can do whatever the lord tells you to do, it's just a big deal to be driven back. Humpty Dumpty said loudly.

"You ......" The man's face was about to turn blue with anger.

This matter came to an end, and everyone dispersed. Anyone who has the physical strength wants to give it a try, and as the man said, if he can't do it, he will be driven back.

There are also people who don't have this plan, they are afraid that their house will be gone when they come back, so it is better to wait and see for a while, and it is not too late to go over when they have a firm foothold.

Somewhere around the corner outside the ghetto, the Yorkie Knight and two men were talking about something. These two people are the man just now and the short and fat man, they are the trustees of York who have been hired by York, and they are deliberately spreading the matter.

"This is a good thing, and I will come back to you when I have the opportunity to come back to you in the future. "York is very happy with this operation, and we will know tonight how it will work.

"My lord, I don't know if I can say a few kind words in front of the lord, today's incident is just a small performance of my two brothers, and the real ability has not yet been revealed, if you can do something for the lord, you will definitely do your best." The short and fat man had a smile on his face, they were also poor people in the city, and it was rare to meet one of them in such a job today, and he still wanted to find a long-term and stable job.

"I'll mention. But you must swallow what is happening today. The Knight of York said solemnly, revealing it was definitely not a good thing.

The two nodded in agreement.

York looked outside, saw no one passing, and left first. The things in the city are basically done, it depends on how many people there are tonight.
