The visit of the great Draconian Willibald Holy Couple to the Water City is undoubtedly a great event for the impoverished Water City.

The officials were overjoyed by this, and looked forward to it in the eyes of the Tianlong people, and they made steady progress.

It's not wishful thinking, it's a regular occurrence. A while ago, an official who made the Draco people have fun was promoted to Justice Island as a prosecutor.

The merchants are accurate to say that the shipbuilders also expect this, and the Tianlong people have always been generous, and they may be able to fancy their ships and make them make a lot of money.

The civilians also rejoiced at this, because the officials and businessmen said that this was a good thing, and most of the civilians who had never been out of the surrounding sea in their lives naturally felt so.

In short, the arrival of the Tianlong people is a good thing for everyone in the water capital!

Ma Kai, the mayor of the Water City, issued an order to rectify the city's appearance after receiving the news that the Tianlong people were going to visit the Seven Water Cities and live for a short time.

It is required that the city is clean and tidy, there is no garbage piled up on the street, and no vendors are allowed to set up stalls along the street to sell things except in the market.

The mayor spent a large tax to paint the houses in the city with white walls and blue roofs, because he had heard that the houses in the Holy Land were decorated like this. He wants to make the Draconians feel like they are home.

With so much effort put into the house, the decoration of other places is naturally indispensable.

The most obvious is the south gate of the City of Waters, where the mayor has specially constructed a vault thirty meters wide and fifty meters high, with the inscription "Welcome to Willibald Saint".

Next to the gate, a huge banner printed with the capital of water and civilization made in a hurry hunted in the sea breeze.

Every 50 meters along the main waterways, there are boxes of wood filled with earth and transplanted flowers, all the way to the town hall at the very top of the water capital.

The mayor also invited a famous singing group of the great voyage to sing the folk songs of the water capital on six pleasure boats.

I want the Draconian Willibald Holy Lord to leave a good impression on the Water Capital, and naturally he will also leave a good impression on him as the mayor.

The rain had stopped, and Esbagu, nicknamed the Iceberg, walked along the shores of the residential area of the Water City with a blue umbrella in his hand. He wasn't supposed to leave the junkyard where his master Tom lived until 9 p.m., but he had to go home early to help because of the city's appearance.

At the mouth of the alley, Esbagu stopped, a merchant ship was docked on the shore of the main road of the water capital, the boarding board was lowered, and several sailors carried flower boxes about 1.5 meters long and 0.5 meters wide transplanted with flowers, and placed them next to the river.

Esbagu first looked back, and there were already such flower boxes on the road he had walked. He looked up again, and the town hall was with no end in sight.

The sweaty sailors put down the flowers and re-boarded, removed the boarding boards, and the merchant ship loaded with flowers set sail again, until it would stop again at fifty meters.

Born into a merchant family, Esbagu was not an ignorant commoner who knew nothing about politics and business.

The financial situation of the water city has always been bad, and the annual tsunami of the water gods not only makes the residents unable to retain their wealth, but also causes a flood period of about 20 days to a month, during which people are unable to work, so the city hall of the water city has always had a reserve of food and relief money for the post-disaster relief after the tsunami of the water gods.

It's been almost a year since the last tsunami of the gods of water, and the new one is still to come. Looking at the current situation in the Water City, that bastard mayor must have spent all his money on the grand party to welcome the Draconians.

Esbagu clenched his fists in anger, but could do nothing about it. He is just a commoner, and he has no influence on those in power.

The reason why he did not follow his father in business and apprenticed Tom to enter the shipbuilding industry was that he loved shipbuilding, but he also wanted to change the city

。 Shipbuilding is the lifeblood of the city, and in the distant past, when the shipbuilding industry in the water capital was extremely prosperous, even though there was the annual tsunami of the water gods, the entire water capital was still quite rich.

In the midst of his anger at the authorities, the depressed Esbagu walked for ten minutes to return home. Due to the family's meager assets, their family has a small yard.

"Esbagu, you're finally back, come and help show your boat farming skills!" Esbagu's father, who was standing on a ladder and painting the wall, exclaimed. "That horde of maggots is asking us to paint the facades white! After painting the walls, you have to paint the roof! ”

His mother was painting the lower walls, and his younger brother was helping with a bucket.

Esbagu picked up the apron hanging aside, picked up the paint brush, the smell of the wall paint was very unpleasant, but it was an expensive waterproof paint, which was a good thing.

Waterproofing is very important for buildings in the City of Water, and residents should regularly check the waterproofing of the house and repair it immediately if there is any damage.

"They gave 6 barrels of wall paint?"

"Hell, 6 barrels!" The father in the ladder scolded angrily: "They gave a total of 2 barrels, and I bought the other wall paint at my own expense." The ** merchant also took the opportunity to raise the price by 2%. I guess it's going to go up tomorrow! ”

"Dad, you're not such a generous person!" Esbaguli brought another ladder and carried the blue wall paint to the roof.

"You think I'm willing to buy it. If the wall paint is not fully painted, there will be a dog day to check the fine! Esbagu's father continued to scold: "When the time comes, it will not be enough for a few barrels of wall paint. ”

"Hell, the Draconians, why don't you stay in the Chambord Islands, why are you here with us!"

"I heard that those flower sellers made a lot of money, and it is unreasonable to sell flowers to make more money than selling grain in these chaotic years!"

Esbagu's father's business was mainly in the transportation and sale of grain, and the environment of the water capital was not suitable for growing crops, except for fishing, all other food in the water capital had to be transported to the surrounding islands through merchants.

Because his heart is not strong enough, and he is often excluded and suppressed by his peers, he has always had a bad temper.

Esbagu silently brushed the roof without answering, when the voice of a neighbor came from outside the yard.

"Madame, can you borrow some wall paint? I went to the market to buy it, but the merchants raised the price again! ”

"The wall paint in our homes may not be enough!"

"Just a little bit, and we'll paint about the size of a door! The wall paint distributed by the government is not enough, and although every effort has been made to save it, there are still some areas that have not been painted. ”

"The wall paint in the market is so expensive that we can't use that much even if we buy the smallest specifications!"

Esbagu stood up on the roof and saw his red-faced neighbor bending over his mother to plead.

"You see, I can pay you for the amount of paint you pour. You know those maggots are the best at borrowing questions. ”

"Husband?" Esbagu's mother asked her husband for his opinion.

"It's all neighbors, so let's spare some for him." Esbagu's father shouted, "Sam, you don't have to give money, they're all neighbors, you should do a little favor." ”

"Thank you! Thank you! The man thanked him repeatedly, and was embarrassed to leave immediately after receiving the wall paint, but instead chatted with Asbagu's father about some family matters.

It's probably because of the rectification of the city, he can't go out to set up stalls, and he has no economic income and has difficulty living.

Esbagu continued to lean down and paint the roof.

He couldn't stand this hypocritical bustle and excitement. However, on the day the Draco came, he was probably helping out at Master Tom's garbage dump, but he could be out of sight and out of mind.

The Draconians don't go to the garbage dump to have fun......
