Chapter 141 Rebuilding the Port Is a Success
The company finally faced layoffs.
Neither of the two old employees showed up at their workstations, and their desks were cleaned up and empty. The beginning of resignation is always unexpected, and the end is always untraceable.
There is no greeting each other, farewell party, and mutual blessings as in TV dramas.
There is only the silent disappearance of people.
Lu Yao was actually prepared for this.
Boss Huang’s previous home office was a disguised layoff, forcing some people who were just idling away to resign by reducing their salaries.
When leaving the building, Sister Peng caught up with Lu Yao in a Mazda.
She rolled down the window and said, "Can I give you a ride?"
Lu Yao shook his head quickly.
"Let me tell you something serious."
Sister Peng put away her smile: "I and a classmate set up a small decoration company. She keeps an eye on the site and finds people, and I draw pictures and make budgets. It has been two years. It's doing OK now."
"If you are interested, you can come to our place."
Lu Yao finally understood.
No wonder Boss Huang was worried about Sister Peng's resignation before. It turns out that she has this side job.
"If you want to quit your job and you can't find a good job for the time being, you can come to our place and try. Maybe the income will give you a small surprise."
Lu Yao was a little puzzled.
I didn't say I wanted to quit my job.
"You have been absent-minded these days, often thinking about things alone... Are you and your girlfriend broken up?"
"..."
"It seems not."
Sister Peng said: "Men will always be worried, besides women, they are careers. Your behavior doesn't mean that your work is not going well? Old Huang even asked me."
Lu Yao thought it was a complete misunderstanding.
It was all because of the simulator that he often couldn't help thinking about the pixel world. The era changed, and the fragment world version was updated, which made him think about how to operate in the future.
"Are you really not going to quit?"
Lu Yao shook his head.
"Then I believe you. I will tell Old Huang this later."
Sister Peng started the car: "He also asked me to sound you out, but I thought, if you really want to leave, you might as well go to my place. Leave."
Lu Yao was a little amused.
I didn't expect that my careless actions would leave such an impression on others.
The economic environment is not good. From the boss to the employees, everyone is nervous and sensitive. The workers are afraid that the boss will run away with the money, and the boss is also afraid that the employees will delete their accounts and disappear the next day.
Lu Yao couldn't help thinking.
In the 30 years since the disappearance of this god, many pixel people may also suspect that they have been forgotten and abandoned by the gods.
...
Lu Yao sat in front of the computer, eating dumplings cooked on a low fire while moving the mouse.
He was busy too late yesterday. He fiddled with the two wonders, named them, and went to sleep, and didn't even look at their properties.
At this time, he began to click and check one by one.
...
[Yao People's Monument]: An ancient monument built by the Garlic Tribe, a building that was born earlier than the city, recording the names and deeds of the pioneers.
In the city where the Yao People's Monument is located, all people's morale +1, and the probability of negative events in the city is reduced.
...
The probability of negative events in the city is reduced?
This is also a new gain.
Lu Yao estimated that it should be something like a pirate attack, a large-scale disease, or a civil strife like in Yancheng... which had a direct negative impact on the city level.
The monument is helpful to the stability of the city and is beneficial in the long run.
He turned his attention to the next one.
…
[Puji Seminary]: The first seminary and school established in Yaocheng, it became a wonder after the change of era, teaching theology and other knowledge to everyone.
All those who complete their studies at Puji Seminary will have their knowledge +1, and have a certain probability of comprehending the ability of [Theology].
…
The role of the seminary is more intuitive.
The students in the academy improve their knowledge, and once they comprehend [Theology], it is equivalent to stepping into the extraordinary side, and they can improve their own level by observing miracles.
Examples of transformation through [Theology] include the legendary prophet Hemira and the great elder of the Ascetic Order Yan Jiu.
The only problem is that the description of [a certain probability] usually means buying lottery tickets.
Lu Yao doesn't care.
As long as there are enough students in the seminary and the time is long enough, there will always be a few lucky ones. Now at least there is a channel to become a superhuman, giving pixel people more opportunities.
The names he gave to the two wonders also represent his personal wishes.
Monument to the Yao People.
He hopes that the Garlic Tribe can remember that it is everyone who created the history of the tribe, and the heroes on the monument are only representatives of all the people.
Puji Seminary.
This name implies that the seminary is to help the most common pixel people.
The establishment of the two wonders brought Lu Yao two apostle marks, and also allowed Yao City, which already had an advantage, to further demonstrate its leading position in the city.
Lu Yao began to census the population.
Population: 61,420
Yao City: 29,508
Yancheng: 14,113
Saniro: 15,090
Others: 2,709
Other population refers to those who did not settle in the three cities but believed in Lu Yao or superhuman life.
At the beginning of this era, the population of Yancheng and Yaocheng was almost equal. Now the population of Yaocheng is rising rapidly, while the population of Yancheng is continuing to plummet.
Lu Yao carefully observed the villains in Yao City.
Nowadays, there are many immigrants in the city, wearing all kinds of clothes and decorations, and a considerable number of them are escaped slaves.
Many people fled from Yanchi and flowed into Yaocheng.
The long-term spread of faith has made Yaocheng more attractive to some islanders, mountain people and wild people. The possession of three wonders has made Yaocheng particularly dazzling and famous.
As one city grows, the other declines, and the size gap between the two cities has been widened.
A large number of foreign populations continue to pour in, and the order of Yaocheng has not been affected at all.
This city governance ability is due to the stability of the Temple.
Lu Yao switched his perspective to the leader of this city, the prophet Yaoshao.
At the door of the side hall outside the temple, the 53-year-old prophet Yaoshao was speaking to the temple members.
"In the near future, the seminary will need to add a [Medical School], and scholars will need to learn pharmacy and treat patients."
"The scholars of the Temple Society will not only go to Yancheng and various islands in the sea, but also need to further exchange knowledge with the fishmen of Saniro. We know very little about this world, and we must remain humble and diligent."
"Starting this year, every new scholar who joins the Temple Society will need to complete at least one pilgrimage. The ruins of the miracles contain countless knowledge and inspirations, which is a natural treasure house given to us by the gods."
A scholar proposed: "Prophet, the group of believers in the north have always hoped to gain recognition from Yaocheng. They call themselves the [Northern Temple Army] and use pigeons to send messages, hoping that we can support them..."
"Yaocheng has always not interfered in the internal affairs of Yancheng."
The prophet Yaoshao was firm: "Reply to them, if they can completely eliminate the slave trade in Yancheng, we will be very grateful. If they release the slaves, Yaocheng will continue to properly resettle them."
...
Next, Lu Yao turned his attention to Yancheng.
In the parliament hall of Yancheng, the citizens' council was still arguing.
Someone suggested: "We must form an army, gather the slaves together, and form a complete and powerful army, so that we can resist the continuous harassment of pirates. Then we will go further to sea and destroy the pirates' nest."
"This is a good idea. But what about the slaves gathered together? Slaves are property. I can sell slaves to everyone present at a low price to support the city's defense."
"Ridiculous, you are still thinking about the slave business now!"
"Then are you willing to donate your slaves for free?"
"You!"
"It's better to let one person control all the slaves and let them fight together."
"No, once they get out of control What should we do? How do you know that the man who has obtained all the slaves will not be more dangerous than the pirates? "
"In my opinion, there is still not enough money. We should continue to negotiate with the pirates. We will give them as much as they want..."
"How can that be possible! There is no such way of doing business!"
"Be quiet, everyone."
A slave trader said: "In my opinion, it is better to ask for help from Yaocheng and let the Temple of Yaocheng come to drive out the pirates. The extraordinary warriors led by Mr. Yanger cannot participate in the war, so we can only hope for the help of the Temple."
"No!"
"The Temple wants to cancel the slave trade, which is definitely not possible!"
This proposal was opposed by everyone.
Lu Yao glanced outside the city.
The old port of Yancheng is still a ruin, and the new dock in the west is under construction, but it is still in the initial stage. There are also traces of destruction and burning around, indicating that it has been attacked by the sea before.
Lu Yao can see it clearly from a bird's-eye view.
Farther away on the sea, three galleys of the Northern Temple Army are full of villains and are rushing towards them.
Another war is about to begin.
For Yancheng today, rebuilding the port is considered a success.
