Chapter 497 A Chaotic Departure

Neverwinter City, Changge District Wharf.

Two cement ships were docked at the shore, and workers were unloading sacks one by one. The newly appointed officials from the Ministry of Agriculture were counting the quantities. The whole dock was filled with a lively atmosphere. The influence of the evil moon has not yet dissipated. It is rare for a fortress to have snow on the road. After inspection and statistics, the seeds in these sacks will be distributed to each farmer by a dedicated person.

"Your Highness, can the golden No. 1 seed really increase wheat production by more than three times?" Pero still couldn't believe it. "Doesn't that mean that the output from the fields can fill everyone's stomach?"

Roland also heard Barov say this. In other words, in the eyes of most nobles, it is normal for civilians to be hungry. "It is the most basic responsibility of the lord to keep everyone fed. We have only taken the first step." It’s just a step. Besides, you don’t need to take it as my kindness, you know that hungry people cannot devote themselves to urban construction.”

"But... this is undoubtedly a great achievement. As far as I know, no city in the kingdom can achieve this."

"The achievements are indeed worthy of praise, but I only account for a small part. The most important thing is to rely on the witch - without the transformation of Ye Zi, Golden One is impossible to talk about."

Pero was silent for a while, "Maybe we were really wrong before."

"What?"

"In terms of their views on witches," he exclaimed, "most nobles disagree with the church's propaganda, but they also have aversion and wariness against witches. Cooperating with the church to kill them is just following the trend. Even if they are taking advantage of it, they are just following the trend. Basically, they are strictly guarded like slaves... Only if you see their value and treat them as ordinary people is the most incredible thing - they are obviously extraordinary."

Not only have you failed to see the value of witches, you have also ignored the power of the people. In fact, the potential of the latter is even more amazing. Witches are like catalysts. The two together can bring about a leap in civilization. The more it develops, the greater this improvement will be. However, Roland did not express his innermost thoughts, "It's not too late to remedy the situation. After all, we are of the same origin."

"Your Highness, the boiler has been boiled and the Victory can set sail at any time." Guards Hui reported.

"Let everyone get on the boat, I'll be there soon." The prince looked at Pero after giving the order, "The guidance team from the Ministry of Agriculture should arrive in the afternoon, and they will tell you how to plant Golden No. 1. As for the collection of mines Construction, population expansion, popularization of education and opening of factories have been discussed enough at the meeting. Just implement it according to the plan. If you encounter any problems, try to solve them yourself first. If you can't, tell me again." He patted the eldest son of the Honeysuckle family. , "After I leave, this place will be left to you. Work hard, and Changge District Executive Officer will not be your end."

"I will not disappoint your expectations, Your Highness." Pero bowed.

Roland boarded the cement ship and gave the order to set off. As the whistle blew, the Victory slowly left the shore and headed towards the border area.

*********************

"How many bald boats is this?" Joe smacked his tongue, "They all come from the direction of the town!"

"That's called the border area. Didn't the lord say that we are now a city with the town?" Snake Tooth curled his lips. Bald Boat was Joe's nickname for those weird ships without sails in the inland river, but he preferred it. The name of the stone boat - the wide gray hull is like a rock, even if the porters run back and forth on it, it will not move at all. "what do you say that is?"

"Neverwinter City." Tiger Claw agreed.

"Never mind it, it has nothing to do with us," Joe shouted excitedly, "You will also take a boat like this when you go to the town. Remember to take a good look at why they can move without sails or oars. The white mist spraying above their heads and What’s the black smoke?”

This really has nothing to do with us, Sheya thought to himself, after the city is built, everyone will be able to find a job.

"Are you really not going to stay?" Aoi looked a little unhappy, "We are all handymen, why do we have to go to a strange place?"

"One more silver wolf," Tiger Claw said cheerfully, "Staying here is worth six silver wolves, and going there is seven. Anyway, it's all work, so of course I choose the one with more money."

"I didn't ask you," Kui rolled her eyes at him and fixed her eyes on Snake Ya.

For some reason, Sheya suddenly felt a little guilty. After the establishment of Neverwinter, the lord seemed to have fulfilled his promise. There were countless recruitment announcements in the square overnight, but there were not many opportunities for rats. They were basically handymen and masonry apprentices, and their salaries were lower than others. Of course, no matter what, it is better than being a mouse and being hungry and full - if these wages can really be paid to the hands on time as stated in the announcement.

For several friends, he said that he could earn more by going to the border area, but his real idea was that it was closer to the white paper. Looking at Aoi's scrutinizing eyes, he swallowed the words that came to his lips, "My thoughts... …Same as Tiger Claw.”

"Then will you come back?"

"Beep--Beep--" At this moment, a whistle sounded from the direction of the pier, and a red flag waved.

"It's our turn, let's go!" Tiger Claw grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the dock.

Following the whistle, the crowd around him also surged up. When entering the inspection channel, they were almost pushed forward. Sheya hugged the luggage package to his chest and looked back. Unfortunately, there was a dense crowd behind him. He couldn't find Aoi and Qiao at all.

Several policemen in black were checking the boarding passes at the end of the passage, "What's your name? The assigned team? Bring out the certificate!"

Soon after Tiger Claw passed by, it was his turn. Snake Ya took out the warm crumpled note from his underwear pocket and carefully handed it to the policeman, "Snake Ya, the fifth construction team of the Red Flag Group, look... "

The other party ignored his "introduction" at all, opened the boarding pass, glanced at it, and patted his chest impatiently, "The ship on the left is next!"

Boarding the ship's side, Tiger Claw was already waiting for him at the entrance. "It's incredible that they didn't ask for extra money."

"Yeah... they didn't want it." Snake Ya refolded the certificate absentmindedly and put it back in his arms, looking towards the dock area to find his partner's location.

It wasn't until the stone boat made a high-pitched sound and slowly sailed away from the pier that he found the two of them on a stone step by the embankment - Aoi was waving Qiao's coat, while Qiao was huddled with his arms folded. behind her.

Snake Ya also quickly took off his coat, ignoring the surprised looks of others, and threw it up vigorously.

Their eyes finally came together again.

"Take care!" he shouted, and the other person seemed to be saying something, but the roar of the ship drowned out each other's voices.

Aoi chased along the embankment for a while, but was still pulled further and further away by the stone boat and gradually disappeared from sight.

Until the end, Snake Ya could not give an answer. (To be continued.)
