The noble men used their white gloves to make a lot of money from the trade. Due to Count Laxana's generosity, even the nobles who did not know how to manage could still make a fortune from the simplest reselling.
, and those who are willing to rely on this rare opportunity to make a lot of money and accumulate a lot of wealth.
As for the common people, although the nobles will not reduce the rent and land tax because they make more money, at least as their lives become more luxurious, they will get a little bit of light - not much, but for them
By the way, this is also an excellent year.
In addition, although nobles from various places mostly chose nepotism when participating in northern trade, civilians could also benefit from it in terms of transportation and handling of caravans, accommodation and food along the way.
Even if most of the porters and hotel owners are from the aristocratic branches or run-down nobles, at least they have to hire some workers, and the emergence of these jobs has made the lives of young people who cannot inherit their family's land significantly easier.
In the past, these young people who came from farmers and were not qualified to inherit the few acres of thin farmland from their own families could only make a living by working as long-term workers and as tenant farmers. Since Demacia has always had no shortage of people, even if it was to lead horses for nobles to farm,
, is also an involutional task.
Now, with the rise of trade in the north, young people who have just come of age in recent years can work as waiters in newly opened hotels, or load and unload goods for people, or carry fibers. Although life is still hard, it is better than in the past.
, but it also has some headway.
Of course, since the northern trade is, after all, an official trade monopolized by the lords, the employment it can provide is ultimately very limited. When more and more young people want to give up being long-term tenants, they want to see if they can go
When they were working as laborers and trackers, there was no longer a place for them around the trade routes.
It was at this time that Forsbarrow began to recruit workers on a large scale.
……………………
In the past, Lux had done immigration several times, but those were either acceptances by chance or accommodation after natural and man-made disasters. The rest of the time, when Forsbarrow wanted to accept immigrants, Lux needed to think carefully.
special preparations or political transactions to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
But, it's different now.
With the northern nobles all getting a share of the pie in Forsbarrow, Lux can now fully absorb the excess labor force in the entire Northern Territory with great fanfare - Forsbarrow is short of manpower, and there is nothing I can do about it!
In the past, if Fosbairo recruited immigrants on a large scale, even if other nobles would not think about rebellion, they would still be murmuring in their hearts and doubt Fosbairo's purpose.
But with the expansion of trade in the north, even if Lux absorbs a large number of people, and only absorbs the labor force of young and middle-aged people, the nobles who have been pried away from the population will not realize the seriousness of the problem for a while.
With the administrative methods of the nobles in the north, they would know that Forsbarrow is short of people and that Forsbarrow wants to recruit people, but they have absolutely no idea how many people Forsbarrow has recruited, and they will not understand why Lux wants to recruit them.
What will these people do after recruiting them?
It is precisely because there are new hotels and new docks all over the northern border, so when they find that Fosbarrow is recruiting people, and there are young people in their own territories who cannot inherit the land, they go to Fosbarrow to break into the docks.
will be completely deceived.
In this case, they would only judge others by themselves, thinking that Fusbairo lacked necessary trade manpower due to the expansion of trade. They would never have thought that Lux recruited so many new immigrants in order to rely on
With these young and middle-aged labor force, Forsbarrow has built a multi-field production framework!
They don't even realize that the simple unified standardization system advocated by Forsbarrow can not only make the products in the north more competitive, but also prepare Lux to kick herself away.
After that, digesting the entire northern territory became smoother.
Completely immersed in the prosperity brought by trade, they even began to have the leisure to support art, and connected on a small scale to make their voices heard. The northern nobles were completely unaware that a noose had been hooked around their necks, and began to
Tighten quickly.
Objectively speaking, looking at the whole of Demacia, the level of the nobles in the north is actually very good - this is the border after all, and if you just wait to die, you may be robbed by Freljord barbarians.
But even so, no one discovered Lux's trick.
It is difficult for people to imagine things beyond their own knowledge. No matter how smart the nobles in the north are, they will not understand Zaun-style collective production, let alone the extent to which magic can increase productivity levels.
Zaun's work experience and Shurima travel experience have long made Lux outline a blueprint for Forsbarrow's future in her mind, and even if this blueprint is given to the nobles, they will not be able to understand it at all.
.
Let alone the northern nobles.
Even in Forsbarrow, even Kyle and Morgana, who were taken around the streets in the form of idols every day, didn't know what Lux was doing.
Due to security concerns, Lacus would not allow these two people to meet outsiders, but for outside information, except for the need to keep the content confidential, these two people almost always answered every question.
But even so, Kyle and Morgana still can't figure out the key.
After all, the perspective of immortal species is different from that of ordinary people.
Facing the ever-changing Fosbairo, the Wing Sisters are like blind people touching an elephant.
They can clearly see the increase in the population of Fosbarrow, the increasing prosperity of Xinfu Port, and the increasing number of people in Fosbarrow, but behind all this, there is always something that they cannot grasp.
live.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The point that was not grasped is the key to Forsbarrow's transformation.
In this city, everything is different from the rules of Demacia in the past, but under the guidance of the clerk, everything seems to be in order.
At first, Kyle and Morgana thought Lux was a follower of the devil.
But after staying in Forsbarrow for a long time, they had to admit that as a lord, Lux did a good job - Morgana had been to Forsbarrow in the past, and compared to that time,
Fosbairo is simply paradise now.
The Feiyi sisters fell into confusion.
In addition to confusion, Kyle and Morgana's other emotions are also different due to their cognitive differences.
In addition to being confused about the changes in Fosbairo, Kyle was also somewhat dissatisfied, mainly because of the attitude of the people.
These people in the north, whose lives are gradually getting better, have not shown even a shred of respect for the gods, and the local Illuminati is even more incompetent. They have not carried out any actions to spread the glory of the gods, and they only exist for the sake of existence.
What's more important is that Fosbarrow's school never mentions anything related to gods. For Kyle, who is used to seeing the Rakkor people preaching for generations, this is simply treason.
If we do not actively preach, how can we guide the people of Fosbello to achieve inner peace?
Living on Mount Targon all year round, Kyle will inevitably compare the Forsbarrow people with the local Rakkor people. In her opinion, the lives of the Forsbarrow people are not as far away as the Rakkor people -
This city is changing with each passing day, and if it rarely stops, it will be left far behind. And after the people of Forsbarrow are accustomed to today's fast-paced life, they will not have time to gain peace of mind through meditation...
If this continues, something big will happen to Forsbarrow sooner or later!
In Kyle's view, mortals are ignorant, so they need guidance and control from gods. If mortals are allowed to act according to their own desires, their result can only be self-destruction - the previous rune wars have proven all this.
Contrary to the pessimistic Kyle, although Morgana was also confused and worried, in addition, after seeing the huge changes in Forsbarrow, she also felt a little indescribable joy in her heart.
In the past, Morgana has always believed that people have great potential, and that human emotions and desires are the power that can create miracles.
Therefore, Morgana prefers to give people opportunities, and she expects more people to burst out with this power.
In Forsbarrow, she saw some clues.
Especially after learning about the past of this city's rise, Morgana felt an indescribable surprise.
Mortals can indeed create miracles!
Therefore, unlike Kyle, Morgana's hostility towards Lux is slowly diminishing.
It's a pity that Lux doesn't have time to care about Morgana's thoughts now.
With the influx of large numbers of immigrants, Lux's workload increased dramatically again.
Even though a lot of preparations had been made in advance and many jobs had been prepared for the new immigrants, as the immigrants actually arrived at Forsbarrow, a myriad of things were piled up, which still kept Lux busy.
.
In other words, not only Lux, but the entire Forsbarrow was very busy.
Before Lux arrived, Forsbarrow was a border fortress city with no movement of people at all. If anything, at most the recruits of the Third Northern Army could be considered foreigners.
Under such circumstances, Forsbarrow should be naturally unadapted to foreign immigrants, and this inadaptation is likely to lead to bad situations such as xenophobia.
Fortunately, Lux is also an outsider, and she is an outsider who brings hope to Forsbarrow. With her arrival as an example and her prestige as the confidence, coupled with the previous waves of small-scale immigrants, in a short period of time,
Conflicts between Forsbarrow locals and outsiders will not break out yet.
What Lux has to do is to seize this precious period and fully incorporate these immigrants that she has worked so hard to attract into Forsbarrow's order.
Unlike the previous immigrants from Walrus Tusk, these new immigrants are all from the north. Their customs are mostly similar to those of Forsbarrow, and it is completely impossible to separate them alone - and in the case of more frequent contact, Lux must first
What is guaranteed is that outsiders will not disrupt the existing order.
Specifically, immigrants in Forsbarrow need to have a very high employment rate and a very low crime rate. Otherwise, once they become idle or even idle, the locals of Forsbarrow will quickly become hostile.
A high employment rate is actually easier to handle. Forsbarrow is now able to get involved in many industries and has sufficient funds. Among them, the parts with lower technical requirements can be left to newly arrived immigrants.
Although compared with the local people's red suspense cultivation and hazelnut cultivation, the pay for these jobs is not high, but according to previous surveys, at least the salary of a worker is still better than that of a long-term laborer or a tenant.
Quite a few.
Therefore, when it comes to immigration work issues, Lux has nothing to worry about.
On the contrary, in terms of legal issues, it is very troublesome to supervise these outsiders - it is not that these immigrants are scum, but that the number of existing administrative staff in Forsbarrow is too small.
Even though Lacus had the largest "private administrative organization" and clerks under his command in the Northern Territory, after the immigration began, Forsbarrow's administrative pressure was directly at its highest.
Various industries began to set up frameworks, the release of various recruitment information, the resettlement and guidance of immigrants, and the increasing scale of northern trade...
A large number of tasks fell on the clerks, and almost everyone was overwhelmed.
In the past, Forsbarrow was sparsely populated and there were not many people in the entire area, so there was very little pressure on public security.
But with the influx of immigrants, these young people who have just separated from their families are all at their most impulsive and energetic years, and they are prone to excessive behavior when they are unfamiliar with the place they live in.
In order to avoid vicious cases, and to prevent petty thieves from taking advantage of the troubled waters of Fossilo, Lux could only mobilize the reserve forces of Mithril City, namely the reserves of the Northern Walkers, to participate in public security management tasks.
.
Only with the patrols of these armored warriors, Fosbello, Xinfucheng and Xinfugang could maintain order in the city - even so, after the immigration wave began, there were still several impulsive fights.
Northerners tend to have bad tempers and direct personalities. When their minds are hot, they don't care about anything, and then they start fighting...
In this way, even if Lux had made all the preparations she thought she could, when the wave of immigrants began to appear, she still had to frequently ask Kalya for advice. Although she had traveled thousands of miles in the past, she had also done it in Zaun.
She has been a leader for several years, but she is still not familiar with anything like immigration and has no experience at all.
Fortunately, Fosbaero and Kalja were there to take care of everything.
At this time, having an elder in the family is like having a treasure.
Thanks to Kalja's advice, the big ship Fosbello, amid the surging waves of immigrants, has always been moving steadily in the direction Lacus expected, riding the wind and waves, and hanging its sails straight.
After nine years of fortune, Fosbello finally became a metropolis with amazing development potential, just as Lux expected.
