Chapter 202 In-game beta? Players? (big chapter)(1/3)
After solving the problem of the Dark Pact, Li De could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
It took more than a month from the time we learned that the Dark Pact was about to attack the Scarlet Mage Tower to the time it took to resolve the matter.
Although the harvest is not small, a lot of hard work has been put into it.
The high-intensity operation made the energetic Li De feel a little tired.
At present, the Dark Pact has the care of the devil's heart. Even if there are forces peeking in the dark, you have nothing to fear. You can still kill everyone and get on the right track for development.
And his power on the surface of Green City, the Scarlet Mage Tower, has a broader space for development after being supported by the dark covenant hidden under the iceberg.
This move of chess by Li De was not bad, and even in terms of the overall situation, it was definitely considered very good.
The two forces are not talking about each other openly and secretly, and there is also a safe base in the rear. This layout is not very comfortable.
Time flew by quickly, and after finishing the Dark Pact, Li De devoted himself to the construction of the Scarlet Mage Tower.
The chamber of commerce that Wei Na has decided to cooperate with has already transported the magic raw materials to the Scarlet Mage Tower.
The magic factory, which has received sufficient supply of raw materials, is operating at full capacity, completely unleashing the magic factory's production, and the production efficiency of magic scrolls has once again improved.
The entire Green City magic scroll market was crushed by the impact of the cross-generation production of magic factories.
The original magic scroll market was directly swallowed up by 90% of the share of the Scarlet Mage Tower. It can be said that the Scarlet Mage Tower now has a monopoly on the low-end magic scroll market.
The power of monopoly to make money can be said to be the strongest among all.
A large amount of Jinpuke began to flow into the Scarlet Mage Tower, and the originally dry wallet became rich again.
However, with the ancient alchemy magic circle, a gold-eating monster, Li De still could not live the life of a landlord.
By mid-July, the Dark Pact regained its foothold with the help of the Devil's Heart and the support of the Scarlet Mage Tower's magic scroll, and the former dark giant once again showed its ferocious fangs.
Preparations for the Intelligence Department also began at this time.
At this time, Li De took Amy back to the City of Dawn.
After a month of reconciliation, the Dark Pact has stabilized, and Amy no longer needs to stay here.
Currently, the Dark Pact has Stanley and Grote, two top professionals above level 15, as strategic deterrents, as well as senior professionals above level 15.
In addition to the previous Dark Pact accomplices, there are a total of 600 intermediate professionals at levels 5 to 9.
This power can be called powerful even in the West District, although it still cannot compare with the Dark Covenant in the subversion period.
But now the prestige of the Dark Pact is not as fast as it was when Viscount Bernard was around.
Because the new president of the Dark Pact, His Majesty Iroh, a powerful existence recognized by the Heart Eater Wales, is very likely to be extraordinary.
This is what Wales himself said.
This news made many forces show the highest vigilance and respect for the dark covenant at this time.
Extraordinary, that is extraordinary!! Who wants to see the God of Death and dares to provoke extraordinary people??
The Dark Pact also relied on its so-called extraordinary backer to successfully stabilize its base and become an existence that no one dares to despise.
Li De didn't pay too much attention to this. The current combination of Stanley and Grote was enough to deal with the Dark Pact. This was also the reason why he took Amy back.
Compared to Dark Pact, City of Dawn needs Amy more.
Dawn City, City Hall, Office on the third floor.
Li De looked at the energetic Harrison in front of him with some doubts in his eyes.
"Harrison, why are you in such a hurry to notify me to come back??"
Harrison, who had a somewhat frail temperament, had unconcealable joy on his face.
"Patriarch, the first batch of wheat in the City of Dawn is ready to be harvested."
Li De was stunned for a moment, then stood up, his eyes full of surprise.
"Really? Has the Ministry of Agriculture arranged a harvest plan?"
The food is ready to be harvested. This matter is no less important to Li De than controlling the Dark Pact.
With food, the biggest difficulties faced by Dawn City will be easily solved.
The residents of Dawn City are about to break free from the chains around their necks.
Whether it is a plan to plunder the population this year or a development plan for the coming year, food is the most important part of it, bar none.
Food is the basis of everything. If we don’t have enough to eat, how can we talk about development?
Now the first batch of grain can be harvested soon, which means a lot.
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Agriculture has organized the residents to harvest since yesterday. It is expected that all the wheat will be harvested within half a month."
"Not bad, very good. How many pounds can the yield per acre be?"
“The land in Moonlight Plains can be fertile or poor, and each farmer’s farming techniques are different, so we cannot generalize.
But based on estimates from the Ministry of Agriculture, the average yield per mu should be between 100 pounds.”
Harrison's words gave Li De a reassurance.
Even if the yield per mu is only 370 pounds, the food currently cultivated in the Moonlight Plain can feed 100,000 people for a year.
The policy of free land distribution finally worked.
The success of the grain harvest was a strategic victory for Li De, which was very important.
And this is just the beginning. With the coming of the second winter month, food problems in Dawn City will no longer bother them in the future.
The more people there are, the more land they can cultivate, and they will have more food. This is a healthy development.
"Has the granary been built?"
"The construction was completed half a month ago. Currently, a total of 4 granaries have been built, which are distributed in the four corners of the City of Dawn. Each location is guarded by members of the vampire clan and the security team.
The four granaries are expected to be able to store enough food for 300,000 people for a year.”
Harrison did not report specific data but gave a very intuitive response.
Li De nodded with satisfaction.
At present, the food policy of Dawn City is completely managed by the city hall. Private buying and selling of food is not allowed in the market, and the food harvested by farmers must also be sold to the city hall.
No matter what the background is at the end of the year, food is the lifeblood.
The city hall can directly guarantee the stability of food. Anything else can be unstable, but issues related to people's livelihood must be stable.
Li De has given strict instructions on this. The city hall must directly control basic supplies, such as iron ore, grain, cotton cloth, etc., and other items that do not affect people's livelihood can be left to the market to adjust.
In fact, even on a modern earth, most of these basic industries related to people's livelihood are directly controlled by the state, so there is nothing wrong with his decision.
"Okay, you will organize this matter yourself. You must do a good job in the relevant work, harvesting, drying, and storage. Don't underestimate every step."
Harrison naturally knew that Li De attached great importance to food, and nodded solemnly.
"Yes, patriarch"
After Harrison left, Li De couldn't hold back his excitement and left the city hall and rushed directly outside the city.
He wanted to see the farmland with his own eyes.
It can be said that most of the credit for this belongs to him.
When I walked out of the city hall, I saw a vast open space and my mood suddenly became better.
After large-scale construction, the City of Dawn has undergone great changes compared with before.
Whether it is streets or houses, most areas have been renovated.
On the streets paved with bluestones, neat purple or red flowers and plants half a person's height are planted on both sides of the road, which looks lush and comfortable.
The surrounding houses are two and three stories high, with white circular arches below and semicircular windows on the second floor inlaid with translucent glass.
The shops facing the street open their doors and sell a variety of goods, including fruit shops, flower shops, bakeries, tailor shops, grocery stores, etc.
There are often white marble sculptures in armor placed at the corners of cross streets. If you look closely, you can see that it is Li De himself.
The blank walls on both sides of the street are painted with exquisite colorful murals, most of which praise the religious stories of the Dawn Sect leading residents to the light.
Busy and lively.
And the most eye-catching thing is that the environment on the street is extremely clean and tidy, with no garbage or human and animal feces at all.
This stems from Li De's obsession with a clean city, and his inner disgust for Green City, a city that smells all the time.
Therefore, the city hall was ordered to solve this problem.
For this reason, some members of the logistics team have become full-time sanitation managers. Anyone who fails to throw garbage into the trash can will immediately be punished by managers wearing red armbands.
And the punishment is very severe. Once caught, you have to go to the mine to mine ore for free for a month.
With this kind of intensity, not to mention open defecation, residents even dare not spit anywhere.
Therefore, the stench that is prevalent in Green City is completely absent in Dawn City. It is clean and neat. It is no exaggeration to say that it is cleaner than cities on Earth.
The residents have also developed a habit under the strict requirements of the city hall. If someone litters, they will immediately be stared at by the people around them or even directly held.
It can be said that under high pressure, these civilians living at the bottom have developed good living habits.
To be continued...
