Conquer Another World From the Beginning of the Game

Chapter 101: Townspeople's entanglement

Chapter One Hundred and One

Before the great nautical age, the Sorensen Mountains were not as haunted by the miasma as they are now. At that time, the Sorensen Mountains not only had a large number of caravans passing by each year, but also active expedition teams and adventurers from various regions. Lensen’s Westem brings vigor and endless business opportunities.

This kind of grand occasion gradually declined after the beginning of the age of arrogant sailing.

There are two reasons. The first is that sea transportation is indeed cheaper than land transportation. Except for the caravans that need to trade with inland countries, most of the long-distance caravans choose to sea more, turning from land-based merchants to maritime merchants.

The second is that the Sorensen Mountains have gradually become unfavorable to pass through... Except for a few areas that can barely pass due to rugged terrain or other reasons, most areas are covered by heavy miasma; not only the number of caravans passing by, but also explorers and adventurers are reduced. Those who don’t gather anymore.

By more than a hundred years ago, local climatic hoteliers fled to Inadri, and Westham quickly degraded from a flourishing commercial town to an obscure border poor town.

The not-so-developed agriculture and fragmented handicraft industry alone cannot solve the employment problem of thousands of young people in towns and families, and the phenomenon of the outflow of young and middle-aged labor has naturally become the mainstream.

For girls in small towns like Caroline, when they are fifteen or six years old, their family will find someone to help find a job in the town and use their salary to subsidize the family. When they are around twenty-three or four, they can’t get married anymore. When it's delayed, the family will come forward to arrange a suitable marriage partner and marry someone else's home. The years before marriage are the last time for the girls to pay back to the family who raised them.

Caroline is 23 years old and has been working in the fine dining restaurant in town for eight years. Her mother, Winnie, felt very sorry for her. Since last year, she has been choosing a marriage partner for her. According to the agreement with the family, she should have resigned and went home this winter to get married on a blind date.

Caroline did not feel any dissatisfaction with her life being arranged in this way, after all, most of the small town girls she knew also lived in this way. If it hadn’t been for too many negative rumors about Westem in the past two weeks, which made her worry day and night, she wouldn’t have thought about asking for leave to come back to see the situation—the restaurant is very demanding on waiters like her who can replace at any time, so ask for leave. Must be deducted from wages.

The three young people who returned from the car with Caroline were in a similar situation. Most of them were introduced to the city as apprentices or workshops when they were fifteen or six years old. A certain price was paid less or less.

When they entered the town gate, seeing that the town was as peaceful and peaceful as they had seen when they came home last winter, the four young people secretly breathed a sigh of relief... Regardless of whether the lord has changed or not, as long as their hometown remains the same.

Then... they saw the undead walking calmly on the streets and among the townsfolk in broad daylight.

The townspeople were obviously afraid of these terrible skeletons, and when the undead approached, even the drunk drunks would rush to avoid them.

But... that's it.

There was no panic, no running away, as if as long as they kept a distance of one or two meters from these undeads, the townspeople would have acquiesced to the reality that these undeads were walking on the same street with them...

Four young people stood at the intersection, watching the two undead who frightened them first pass by them and out of the town gate.

The two undead hadn't gone far yet, and another group of undead came out from the direction of Martin Street.

All the undead have gleaming steel knives inserted in their waists. Some undead’s bones have dazzling scars, and some of the undead’s weird scales have obvious marks of fighting...how do you look at these undeads? It has nothing to do with Heshan.

But the townspeople who came and went on the street just didn't know they were afraid of them, and the housewives who went out to sell vegetables with their baskets even passed by less than half a meter from the dead.

Caroline stared blankly at this incredible scene, her jaw dropped...

"I, I have to go home and have a look." A young man said palely, breaking the silence.

"Me too!" The other two people just awakened from a dream, and they responded.

"Wait a minute." Seeing that the three of them were about to disperse, Caroline hurriedly stopped them.

The girl looked left and right with a pale face, pulled the three of them to the side of the road, and said in a low voice: "I, let's not really get scattered, everyone will go home and have a look...Then we will come out and meet again."

Enduring hardship is the most life experience that allows one to grow.

The discrimination, ostracism, and bullying experienced in Inadri’s lowest-level environment after leaving the house in their teens have caused young people in these small towns to grow rapidly, making them more mature than their peers who stayed in their hometown or the country.

Although Caroline didn't say too clearly, the three young people also understood what she meant, nodded solemnly, and agreed on a time and place to meet again...

The situation in the town is so strange that they can’t think of too much—if the black magician who supports the new lord has used some weird magic to make all the townspeople lose their vigilance against the terrible undead, then they must at least maintain wide awake!

Caroline's family lived in the northern block like Bossa Laurie's, only two alleys away from the town hall.

The blocks to the north of the town are mostly single-family buildings over a hundred years old. Like Martin Street, they were the last houses built when Westham’s prosperity ended; after that, the buildings that collapsed or were demolished and rebuilt were arranged in rows. Mainly bungalows. Before Westham turned into a red light district, the town had never seen a new building.

Caroline's house has a small garden with a small garden for three generations. Two uncles occupy the second floor, and their home and grandfather are on the first floor.

The oldest male host is still alive, and Caroline's uncle and her father do not have to pay taxes. But her grandfather's health has been getting worse and worse in the past two years. When her grandfather passes away, the three adult men in their family will be recognized as independent male heads of households, and they will add a lot of tax expenses every year. The reason why her mother was eager to marry her out—if grandpa passed away, the family wouldn't be able to prepare Caroline a little more generous dowry.

"Carolyn?" Winnie Megan was washing vegetables by the well in the yard. She saw her daughter pushing open the yard door and walking in. She quickly wiped her hands on her waist and greeted them with surprise and worry. "Dear , Why did you come back early? Did something happen at work?"

"Mom." Caroline hugged her mother hard, "I'm okay, mom, where's grandpa?"

"Your grandpa is in the Environmental Sanitation Bureau... Are you really okay?" Winnie said with concern.

"It's really okay, I just want to come back and see you guys." Caroline took her mother into the house, looked at the house quickly, and saw two cousins ​​and aunts mending clothes in the living room, and smiled and waved at them. He started and looked around, "Mom, how are the family members?"

"Everyone is fine... Oh, did you come back after hearing about Westham's new lord?" Winnie said suddenly.

"Yes, everyone is fine?" Caroline repeated the question again nervously, "By the way, did you just say that Grandpa is in the Sanitation Bureau? What is the Sanitation Bureau?"

Winnie knew her daughter, and by now she almost guessed the reason for her hurried back, she couldn't help but smiled and patted the back of Caroline's hand: "Silly girl, don't listen to people outside. Change it. What does it matter to us to change the lord? Earlier, when your grandfather was still young, our lord here was not Marcus’s."

Caroline looked less relaxed, instead she became more worried... Is her guess right, even her mother was affected by the black mage who supported the new lord?

"Stop talking about it, mom has something good for you to see." Winnie pulled Caroline into the room and took out the good fabric she had hidden in the cupboard. "Look at this, how beautiful it is. Color and pattern, when you get married, use this to make a long skirt that can cover your ankles. You must be the most beautiful bride!"

Caroline's attention was attracted by the fabric for a while. The smooth surface, the bright colors and the vivid prints were indeed unprecedented for her.

But Caroline couldn't be happy at all, she couldn't help but said: "Mom, are these undead cloths that make you all lose your vigilance?"

"What undead cloth?" Ms. Winnie was surprised, "Don't talk nonsense, this is sold to us by the new lord, but it has nothing to do with the undead."

Caroline couldn't help shaking her head, and said in pain: "I know that the situation in the town is not right-you calm down and think about it, mother, I have been working in Inadri for so many years, and I have met many ladies in the city, they Her skirts are by no means as beautiful as those made of dead cloth... How could such a good fabric easily fall into the hands of people like us?"

Ms. Winnie couldn't laugh or cry, and quickly calmed down: "You should calm down too, my dear, this fabric is not only available in our family. People in the town and even vegetable farmers from the countryside have bought a lot of them. Didn't you Seeing how many such good cloths have been sold by the leader during this time, if this is to deceive us, how bad will the new lord be?"

"If it's not for deceiving everyone, how can you sell us this kind of fabric that can be sold at a high price in Innadri's top store?" Caroline shook her head repeatedly, "Believe me, mother, there is definitely something in it. Secret, this is absolutely abnormal."

Ms. Winnie was so embarrassed...

It is impossible to say that a small town woman like Ms. Winnie does not reject the weird situation of Westham at all. Not to mention that the new mayor is actually held by the undead, and the undead who often bump into her when she walks out of the house are always shocked.

But on the other hand... she really doesn’t think that Westham’s new lord is so bad—she has lived under the new lord for ten days, and although she is unavoidable and frightened, she can’t say that it’s worse than before. Bad.

"I should have asked someone to write you a letter early in the morning, so that you don't have to be so suspicious." Ms. Winnie said entangledly, "I just thought that the money for sending a letter could buy half a metre of fabric, I was a little bit reluctant... Mibu only needs ten copper coins."

"Mom, these undead cloths—"

"Okay, dear, listen to me first." Ms. Winnie stopped her anxious daughter. "Your mother has been living in the town. What is going on in the town? I guess more than those who don't know anything. Inner Deli is much clearer."

"Yes, the new lord of Westham is very different now. This Mr. Rex even let an undead serve as the mayor. But I believe Mr. Rex is definitely—not a bad person. He certainly has no malice against us. "Ms. Winnie opened her hands forward and said seriously, "Do you know Winnie, those poor people on the main road in town are all taken care of by Mr. Rex very well. To those poor people can be so gentle, Ray How could Mr. Cox hurt us?"

Caroline has been nervous about her family ever since she heard about the changes in her hometown. She had never thought of caring about the fate of the poor people on the road in the town in the past, and she was a little shocked for a while.

The children who grew up in the town have seen more or less...because of their old age and decay, they have been driven out of the brothel~the prostitute~the female and the male~the bleak end of the prostitute.

Every winter, as long as it snows, the people in the town can hear rumors that a few corpses of these people have been dragged out from which corner of the town’s main avenue...

Some people will hate these people because of their rejection of the red light district, but some people will have sympathy for this kind of people who can't control their own destiny... Comparing their hearts, who would be willing to be sold to a far away place far away from home, who has experienced so much pain Died tragically after his ordeal?

"Your grandfather saw it with his own eyes when he went to work in the Environmental Sanitation Bureau. Those people were concentrated in two large houses. The undead would cook food for them every day. The two working meals provided by the Sanitation Bureau were also prepared by the undead. Every day I save the thick soup and put it back in a jar." Ms. Winnie smiled and said, "Your aunt will add this thick soup to the soup for dinner. It's really delicious."

Without waiting for Caroline to ask what the Sanitation Bureau is, Ms. Winnie added: "This Sanitation Bureau is a new department opened by the new lord. It employs elderly people like your grandfather, widows and orphans without family members, and takes turns to clean the town every day. The street. Did you pay attention when you came? The trash at the entrance of our alley is gone. That's the job of the Sanitation Bureau."

"Originally, we didn't agree with Grandpa going to the Sanitation Bureau. Grandpa thought he should go and see what the new lord wanted to do in the town..." Ms. Winnie exclaimed, "Now the dead mayor and the new leader advocate posting an announcement on the day of employment. Salary workers, if it wasn't for your fathers, uncles, and your cousins ​​who haven't come back yet, your grandfather would definitely support them to sign up."

It is the autumn harvest season. Every autumn, adult men in the town who are willing to endure hardship will go to the countryside to do odd jobs, or help farmers harvest crops, or work in the manor for a month-it will be very hard, but they can also make a lot of money. money.

In a family like Megan’s family with a good family style and everyone is very hardworking, five mature men go to the countryside to suffer for a month and earn half a year’s living expenses for the whole family.

Of course, not all men will do odd jobs in the fall... Craftsmen with craftsmanship, lazy widowers, drunkards, or those who have an industry or work in the family will not suffer this sin.

Caroline hesitated to speak but stopped.

She respected her grandfather very much, and even grandpa thought that Westham's change was not a bad thing, and the new lord was not a bad person with intentions, so she was a little shaken.

"It's more than that." Ms. Winnie said with a smile, seeing her daughter's waver Re-collecting the agricultural taxes that farmers should pay to him. At present, Westham only collects two kinds of taxes, one is the commercial tax, and the other is the high-income income tax that people with a monthly income of more than 1,800 copper coins need to pay. "

"One thousand eight hundred copper coins?!" When she heard this number, Caroline was shocked. "So don't everyone who doesn't do business need to pay taxes?!"

What is the concept of a monthly income of 1,800 copper coins?

It is the concept of earning eighteen silver coins every month!

For gold coins, one and a half can be exchanged for more than one and a half!

Generally speaking, large coins such as gold coins are not circulated in the private sector. Most people have copper coins as the main coin and silver coins as a supplement.

Caroline has been working for eight years in a high-end restaurant on Inner Delicate South Street, and she has been promoted to a high-class waiter, earning seven silver coins a month.

This is almost the ceiling of the service industry, and higher, that is, those maids who are in large households can get higher. In Westham, seven silver coins are enough for a family of four to spend one on a budget. Half a month; if you are in Inner Deli, as long as you don't use gas and burn coal honestly, it will not be a problem for a month.

But even the maids of large families did not say that they could earn a monthly salary of gold coins to start with... it was almost the same as being able to become a housekeeper.

"At least your grandpa doesn't have to pay taxes. The monthly salary of the Sanitation Bureau is 800 copper coins." Winnie covered her mouth and smiled.

Caroline almost fell off her chin-cleaning the streets that old people and children can do is actually higher than the monthly salary she receives in high-end restaurants?

"Then the Sanitation Bureau's job is not to break the head?" Caroline said in surprise.

"It's not easy to say...Anyway, when your grandfather went there, no one grabbed it." Winnie said with a complicated expression. "Everyone thinks this is a deceptive trick, and they worry that the new lord will be driven away before they are paid... If you can get the money, your aunts and I will also sign up."

These words exposed Ms. Winnie’s true intentions-she was actually not very firm that the new lord was reliable and could always rule Westham... Although she herself expected so, but the lord replaced this kind of thing, she How could such a small town woman have the final say.

Caroline thought about what her mother told her, and she became entangled like her mother.

Obviously, the new lord, Mr. Rex, is indeed a benevolent gentleman. If Westham can always be ruled by this gentleman, it will undoubtedly be a good thing for all people living in this land.

But... this Mr. Rex really became the lord because of the support of a terrible black magician, if it weren’t for the undead running across the street to take away the former mayor who turned Westham into a red light district. , Drive away the Baron Marcus, then Mr. Rex will not become the lord of Westham.

To accept the rule of Mr. Rex, one must get used to the existence of those undead.

"Good luck always accompanies bad luck." Caroline sighed long, and said the Rhine proverb that Bossa once sighed with emotion.

Rex himself, who was so complicatedly worried by the townspeople... Right now, he was in a daze holding a contract with his face expressionless.

When Yang came to the town hall to look for him in person, Rex thought that Yang had any ideas for him to implement, but Yang came over with a contract without saying anything.

This contract... is a long-term supply contract for the goods and supplies between Yang, as the lord of Tarantan, and the subordinate (yes, Yang Qiu has been regarded as the lord of Nadli no longer exists), the lord of Westham, Charlie Rex.

The list of general merchandise items listed in the contract are all the department store products that Yang Qiu has made on the earth plane and can be supplied stably for a long time.

For example, the most popular curtain cloth...

The textile factory that has transformed into an online celebrity hot-selling ready-to-wear and fought with countless peers on Taobao still has a backlog of several warehouses. When he learned that Yang Qiu hopes to provide stable supply, the boss on the video side slapped his chest on the spot to ensure Yang They can sell as many goods as they want here. After their own inventory is sold out, there are colleagues who have also been beaten up by the e-commerce company to be rescued...

For example, not as well-known as curtain fabrics, but actually "just needed" plastic products—the plastic factory supplied is a downstream unit of a chemical company. Regardless of whether the production line is opened or not, the raw materials are plugged in on time and on time. The person in charge of the plastic factory wants to open it. Even Indian customers are talking about sales. Yang Qiu is much easier to deal with than Indians...

Yang Qiu got the supplier of curtain fabrics and plastic products, but he hadn't found the next one by himself. The prison company he had cooperated with before (...) came by himself; he didn't come by himself, but was struggling to sell with a ticket. Come with your brothers...

Prison companies that most people don’t know about are actually quite amazing in China. Not to mention the whole country, local prison companies in Province G process labor-intensive products including clothing, electronics, furniture and mechanical parts. Yang Qiuyuan first looked for prison companies. The purse pocket backpack I bought was just a drop in the bucket.

In short—it’s not that Yang Qiu stupidly refused to take out the gold in his pocket to buy the hearts of the Westem people, but that he bought the magic materials needed for the teleportation array, paid the road engineering equipment in full, and paid the various manufacturers. After the long-term supply of the deposit, it has been spent.

The gold coins in this world are impure. Ten grams of gold coins are only 60%~70% gold, and the others are alloys. Yang Qiu took the gold coins and gold ornaments, and he had to use magic to "purify" them before they could take them to the plane of the earth. When used, the total amount is shrunk, and it is not used at all...

Yang Qiu, who can't even get the money to buy quick-frozen pasta from a local manufacturer at a super low price next month, is still as stable as an old dog.

"I will give you a wholesale price of all the products that are 20% lower than the market transaction price." Putting down the teacup, Yang Qiu shook hands on the table, calmly and authentically, "Except for fabrics and previously sold products in the local area, new products are added. You can set the retail price yourself. I don’t care how much surplus is. You just need to make sure that my payment is in place. Of course, I don’t want copper and silver coins. I only accept gold coins for settlement."

Rex's expression was dazed, as if he couldn't recover at all...
