Chapter 1844 Trouble?

Chapter 1844 Trouble?

Taking the face towel handed over to him Tacholla patted his sweaty forehead in agreement. "Our priority will be to get the ball rolling, before the students and others start moving between both empires." So here was the checklist of things to do: Start assembling, renovating and revamping a special and grand official Port for travel, that will also act as a post office, storing all cargo until someone collects them, or sending letters between both empires, or even with other Allu empires.

Yup. Tacholla has spent quite some time here, and already had a basic understanding of how the ports operate when it came to mail or cargo delivery and storage. Did you know that Baymard delivered cargo and mail to all Treaty-signed empires? Take for example, that you are in Tenola Pyno, but you want to send a letter or cargo to Zalipnia in Romain. This won't be an issue. Once submitted in any of the post office branches or in the port, it then goes to Baymard first, before getting sent out, arriving at the port. All cargo and letters stop at ports when they arrive. So only when sending mail, can one utilize the branch offices. From what Amrous, Tacholla and the others knew, more and more business owners and nobles have started building estates or renting homes within the same coastal cities or towns Baymard's ports are located. Yes, there has been a lot of migration happening during these past few years, with everyone having 3rd and even 5th homes there. Peasants also migrate to these coastal territories in search of better jobs, because the pay there is slightly higher than the rest. Being a cab driver there pays very well, due to the population increase and the constant need of transportation of goods and cargo. Traffic security, street sweepers, sanitation officers (garbage men), gardeners, construction workers, farmers, ship repairers, cooks, cleaners, statue sculptures, road workers, waiters, teachers, and another whole list of professions, were all needed there on a constant basis. The minimum wage here has also gone up over the years, and many people now live even more comfortably than before. It was hard to imagine that just a few years ago, the streets were filled with dirty people who had boils all over their faces, wearing beggar attire day in, day out. But now, the same people advocate cleanliness, especially when working at several restaurants and sites that wish to get 2 star reviews. Even on the streets, people try to look their very best because they've now learned that first impressions matter. Do you know that some people, particularly, some little boys, mimicked the newspaper boys in Baymard to make a profession? Yes! They sold newspapers that were already many months old that came straight from Baymard. "Extra! Extra! Read all about it!~... Is he a man, a myth, or a legend? Extra, extra! The Water Killer has finally been caught!" These young boys went about selling newspapers in this fashion, getting more and more people buying them like hot cakes. Don't underestimate the number of merchants and visitors that arrive in these coastal cities and towns on a daily basis. On top of that, many assassin guilds and information homes, go out in search of these newspapers, no matter how long they are. Because information is what their careers rely on. Suddenly, people found they had become entrepreneurs just like that. The death rate dropped significantly, has less and less people died from starvation and hunger. Can you believe that winter had passed, but many didn't truly feel it? On such a cold day, some people truly specialized in selling hot tea and coffee on their designated street corners. They bought coffee pods and other items from Baymard, and used battery powered, electric kettles to boil water. Of course, they offered tea, coffee, cookies, and biscuits. One can see many of such street store businesses out and about now. 'Mirvanna should take a few pages out of their books,' Tacholla wisely thought. (?~?)

[Your majesty, we have a situation]

BOOM!

The words that exploded in Landon's ears made his entire body stiffen. Time to get busy.
