Chapter 397: The Drawbacks of an Agricultural Town

However, it can also be seen that the minotaurs are living well here, at least there is no such thing as oppression.

Just as Claire wanted to ask further, there was a sound of footsteps behind her, and when she looked back, a group of people were rushing towards Claire.

At the front was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, and the person in charge that Claire had just met was chasing him behind, not wanting the boy to come and contact Claire.

Claire blinked, and for a moment her mind was filled with a lot of things about the corruption of the local person in charge, which caused the people to live in misery.

The person in charge at the back chased desperately, but it was obvious that the speed was still not as fast as the boy who ran at the front.

In the end, the young man stood in front of Claire, pursed his lips, and looked up at Claire a little nervously, and at this time, the person in charge behind him also caught up, grabbed the young man's hand, and shouted.

"Harry, stop making trouble, come back with me." As he spoke, he smiled apologetically at Claire, nodded his head and said, "I'm sorry Lord Viscount, let's leave now." ”

Then he tugged the hand of the young man named Harry, but the other party stood stunned and unmoved.

"Harry!" The tone of the person in charge rose several degrees, and the expression on his face was anxious.

Claire stretched out her hand and shouted to the other party, "Don't worry, I want to hear what he wants to say?" ”

"Lord Viscount......" The person in charge opened his mouth, but finally didn't say anything, and finally turned his eyes on Harry.

Harry, on the other hand, suddenly got stuck, watching Claire stop talking, not knowing what to say.

Finally, looking at the person in charge standing beside him, Claire squinted her eyes and said, "It's okay, you just say it, if you don't say it, the problem will never be solved." ”

"Don't you just want to run in front of me and show your face?"

Hearing Claire's words, Harry also seemed to be encouraged, closed his eyes, and shouted loudly as if he had been out of the way.

"Lord Viscount, I don't understand! Why is our Gilded Rose Town so much less than anywhere else! ”

After shouting this, Harry's suppressed mood seemed to be released, and he shouted out all the words that were holding back in his heart!

"Didn't you say it well at the beginning! After coming to the Gilded Rose Town, you can live a better life than before, but why don't Anthony's brother and Kent want to stay here, but go to Nafu City to make money. ”

"And Dad said that although a lot of food is grown now, the price of food has dropped a lot compared to before, and everyone has paid more hard work and effort, and the money they get in the end is still the same as before, I don't understand!"

The person in charge watched from the sidelines, almost trying to reach out and plug Harry's mouth, which can also be said casually?

Claire's eyes flickered a few times before asking, "Your dad told you that?" Who is your dad? ”

As soon as Claire finished asking, the person in charge took Harry behind him and said with some fear: "Lord Viscount, I am Harry's father, I'm sorry!" I shouldn't have told him this! ”

He had to be afraid, what Harry said was equivalent to saying that the farming town that Claire had made was not good at all, it was slapping Claire in the face, even if the rumored Lord Viscount was so kind, he wouldn't dare to gamble with his child's life.

So he continued to explain: "Lord Viscount, what Harry said is some one-sided words, there are still many people who are willing to stay in the Gilded Rose Town, and no one used to have enough to eat, but now they are very satisfied......

"Don't worry, I'm not holding you accountable." After reassuring the other party for a while, Claire turned around and asked, "Hammer, isn't the money you get from farming here enough for your livelihood?" ”

Iron Hammer shook his big bull head and nodded, "I can only earn half of it, after all, we eat a lot, but we have other jobs, we can go to Nafu City to do construction, and we can also help everyone farm or something, so it's still okay." ”

Hammer's words were not very referential, so Claire turned around and continued to ask: "As the person in charge, you should know a little more, how much money can a family in a year in the town of Gilded Roses make?" ”

After thinking for a moment, the person in charge replied, "Four or five gold coins." ”

After finishing speaking, he was afraid that Claire would be angry and added, "Before I came, there were only about three, so it was an increase." ”

When Claire heard this, she understood what Harry had just said.

There are at least four or five people in a family, and the average person can earn one gold coin per year for four or five gold coins, and the current per capita income in Nafu City is about ten gold coins, and even in Nagin Town, which is of the same level as the Gilded Rose Town, the per capita income level is about five or six gold coins.

And the current Gilded Rose Town is more than five times different from the people in other places, how can this keep people!

Nafu City and Nagin Town are not far from here, but anyone who has the ability to do so as an adult will not choose to stay here and go to those two places to find work.

Of course, except for the minotaurs, their material needs are not very high, they can eat enough, and in addition to farming, they can also go to the city of Nafu to move bricks to earn money, which is far better than the life of these people in the gilded rose town.

After the gradual loss of young people, the town of Gilded Rose will sooner or later become a highly aging place, and it is full of people who have moved over, and no sense of belonging has been established in such a short period of time, and this place may become a ruin in the future, which is not in line with Claire's original vision, he planned to make this an agricultural town.

There is also the sentence that Harry mentioned later, there is more food among the people here, the price will be relatively lower, obviously pay more hard work, but the harvest is not as much as before, who can stand it, in the previous life, there were many fruit farmers who would rather rot in the ground than sell it.

If there are more goods on the market, then their price will naturally decrease, which is the law of the market, and Claire cannot change it. Of course, he can fund the purchase of those agricultural products, but this is not conducive to subsequent development at all, it is impossible to complete the town, so many people need to live on Claire's relief, so why build this town, simply return to the countryside.

Claire looked at the crowd behind her and asked, "Is your income enough to live on now?" ”

"That's enough, I'm more fed than before."

"The blessing of Lord Viscount is better than before."

"But......," muttered someone in the crowd, "but who doesn't want to earn more, I heard that the boy from the Jean family earns more in Nafu than our family." ”

As soon as the words "......" came out, the scene became silent.

As Harry had just said, these problems had been exposed in front of everyone, and almost everyone in the town knew about them, but they were powerless to change them, so they could only bear it silently.
