Chapter 50: Ambition

"Won't it make any difference if you're like this?"

Seth asked with a deep look at Artimu.

"What impact can it have?"

Yadimu shook his head and said softly: "This place is also big enough, there are many rooms inside, and it can be inhabited with a little repair." ”

"I'm alone, so there's no need to live in such a big yard."

"Your character is admirable."

After chatting for a while, Seth couldn't help but sigh and admire a little.

From the small talk, he learned that Yadimu not only brought some children from the neighborhood to live here, but also bought food rations for them at his own expense.

This practice is an admirable act of charity even for modern people.

And if it is compared to the professional group of this world, it is even more rare.

"As time passes, the price of food will get higher and higher, and if this continues, I am afraid that sooner or later there will be problems."

Standing in place, Yadimu looked at the group of children playing outside and couldn't help but speak.

The change in grain prices is something that Yadimu can clearly feel in the past few days.

After returning to this world, he actually didn't have much money on him, that is, a batch of loot issued to him by Deli after the previous battle.

That's a pretty good income, but although you can't live a luxurious life in the past, it's still no problem to feed a dozen people.

But now it's stressful.

Because the price of food is getting higher and higher.

This is quite normal.

Part of the food supply in Stream Town was brought by outside merchants.

At various times of the year, merchants would come from all over the world to buy furs and medicinal herbs from the neighborhood, and to sell other goods and grains along the way.

The other part is scattered around the villages.

Those villages walked around Streamtown, and most of the grain harvested in Streamstream Town was eventually transported to Streamstream Town for processing, supporting the large number of craftsmen and warriors in Streamtown.

But at this time, with the arrival of the demonic calamity, the merchants from the outside world will not be able to count on it for a while.

As long as the local production activities are greatly disrupted because of the demonic creatures.

In this case, the stock of grain is getting smaller and smaller, and the price will be higher and higher.

Even if one is not good, it will cause a famine, causing a large number of people to starve to death.

Artimus didn't want to see it.

He had seen famine.

It was when he was very young, in his father's land, and he had seen many people starve to death.

That scene is still fresh in his memory.

"My logistics officer will be here later, and he will also bring a shipment of food and other goods."

Seth said, "I have another idea. ”

"There are too many refugees in Stream Town right now, and the burden is too great, and I would like to recruit some ........ if I can"

He revealed his true purpose.

Subduing Xiliu Town is a long-term goal, and it will definitely not be achieved in the short term.

But while the disaster is underway, it is absolutely possible to gather as many refugees as possible and increase the population of your territory.

In this dangerous wasteland, there is no shortage of land to cultivate, just a lack of people to farm.

population, which is absolutely the most valuable resource in this wasteland.

In the past, after Seth conquered the territory, he gathered the strength of most of the players in the vicinity, and used various means, but he only barely managed to gather a population of 40,000 or 50,000.

But now, with the arrival of the demonic plague, the emergence of a large number of refugees has made it possible to gather the population.

Because right now, there are refugees everywhere.

These refugees have lost their homes, almost everything, and are now reduced to nothing.

As long as they are given a way to live, they can be recruited smoothly.

In Stream Town alone, there are already nearly 10,000 refugees at this moment.

And there's more to it in the outside world.

For these refugees, Seth did not hide his thoughts in the slightest.

"Mr. Mayor may have some problems there, but at this time, I think he will agree."

Artimus pondered for a moment, then said.

He was happy with Seth's idea of recruiting refugees.

These refugees continue to stay in Stream Town, and the end result is most likely not to be good.

Rather than continue to wait here for death and consume time, it is better to leave with Seth and go to open up a new home.

Of course, instinctively, the mayor of Stream Town may be a little repulsive.

After all, these refugees are one of the assets of Streamstream.

According to the traditional lords' thinking, they would rather these people starve to death in their own territory than cheapen others for no reason.

The so-called refugees are, in their eyes, a sum of property.

Arimus's own father was a lord, and he couldn't have been clearer about what such people thought.

But then again, Streamstream itself isn't ruled by a lord.

The entire town of Creek, while effectively autonomous, remained nominally directly under the royal family.

This also means that the mayor of Streamstream, although he has a lot of power, is not enough to consider the whole of Streamstream as his personal property.

This is negotiable.

As for Seth's ambition to recruit refugees, Artimu didn't care.

There is ambition for development, which is a good thing in Yadimu's opinion.

Ambition and self-motivation are actually the same thing in his opinion, but the words are different.

In Artimu's view, as long as Seth doesn't cause others to suffer because of his thoughts, then what he does is his freedom.

Recruiting refugees?

That's definitely a good thing right now.

"That couldn't be better."

Probably knowing Artimu's attitude, a smile suddenly appeared on Seth's face.

In the past, he had also tested the meaning of Deli and the mayor himself.

Deli said it didn't matter if he wanted to recruit refugees, but the mayor was somewhat hesitant.

But as long as Artimu is willing to support, then there is no problem in thinking about it.

As a professional, Adim may not be the core leader of this place, but he definitely has enough weight.

After all, for a long time after that, the safety of the town had to rely on the help of Artimu.

"Speaking of which, with your strength, Mr. Yadimu, why did you choose to stay here?"

During the chat, Seth suddenly asked with some curiosity: "I have met several people in the same profession, and as far as I know, they don't seem to want to stay around here........"

This question stopped Artimu.

So he thought for a while, and then replied: "The people here are very kind to me, whether it's Captain Deli or Mr. Mayor........"

"But from the bottom of my heart, if the demon disaster is over, I shouldn't stay in this place forever, but I will choose to go out and have a look."

He spoke, and finally expressed his thoughts: "Different places have different scenery, and I want to take advantage of the opportunity to go out and see more." ”

"Perhaps, that's what other people think?"

Adim didn't mean to stay in Streamstream all the time.

He initially stayed in Stream Town because of the language barrier and the fact that he was returning soon.

As for this time, it was because of the arrival of the demonic calamity and the need for his strength.

But when the plague was over and the situation in the neighborhood had stabilized, Artimu also wanted to see other places.

Noah's World, which is a world that is different from the Dawn World.

Even if it is the same world, there is still a lot of excitement in it, not to mention crossing the world.

Since Yadimu has this kind of opportunity and opportunity, he naturally should cherish it and go to other places in the future to increase his experience and experience.

In the past, although I awakened the memories of my past life and learned more things, that memory was in the past after all, like watching a long movie.

He could only give Adimu a reference, but he could not give him a solution.

In his mind, Artimu had many doubts that needed to be answered.

And these questions are destined to be answered only by himself.
