Chapter 1353： City of hope

? Yang Xiao inspected the bazaar and found that there are very few types of goods on the bazaar.

In front of a street vendor buying pots and pans, Yang Xiao pointed at an iron pot and asked,

"how much is this?"

When the street vendor saw Yang Xiao, followed by guards such as Qi Lao and Chen Peng, where did he dare to collect Yang Xiao's money, he said immediately

"Master, Lord, this is for you, no money."

Yang Xiao laughed,

"I'm a dignified city master, can't I take your pot for nothing? Who do you think I am?

I'll ask about the price, just tell the truth. "

Chen Peng aside stared at the stall owner,

"Master Lord asks you something, say it quickly, dumb?"

Yang Xiao turned his head and glared at Chen Peng, and Chen Peng had to look down awkwardly.

The stall owner met and said immediately,

"Master of the city, this pot has twenty wafers."

Yang Xiao didn't know if the price was high or low, so he asked Qi Lao,

"Qi Lao, how about this price?"

"Citylord, this price is a normal price in our deceased's castle, and even in mainland China. However, if it is in other dwarf cities outside of mainland China, this price is very high. Generally, outside of China Place, this iron pot is worth about 3 wafers. "

The stall owner heard it, for fear of misunderstanding of Yang Xiao, he quickly explained,

"Master, Lord, you do n’t know. We are all selling goods from places outside the mainland of China. The journey is far away, and there are some places where monsters infest them. If we are not careful, our lives may be lost. Throw away,

To be honest, the goods here are also second-hand goods that I bought from other sellers. They sold me 15 wafers, so I would earn some living expenses. "

Yang Xiao glanced at the other items sold by the street vendor and asked a few, the situation was similar to that of an iron pot.

"Isn't there a craftsman who produces daily necessities in mainland China?"

Qi old smiled,

"Compared with other places, Mid-Continent is a barren land. People here only know about the plundering war. Where can someone study what production? The daily commodities needed are sold from other places."

"What about weapons and elixir?"

"The same is true, so the price of things here is several times, or even dozens of times."

After listening, Yang Xiao was silent for a moment, and suddenly had an idea.

Back at the city's main house, Yang Xiao convened a meeting with Qi Lao, Wan Yanbai, Fan Chen, Chen Peng, and Yue Town.

"You all say, what is most important for a city to develop?"

Everyone froze and looked at Yang Xiao.

Fan Chen has followed Yang Xiao for the longest time, and naturally understands Yang Xiao's meaning, saying,

"For a city to develop, population is the most important."

Yang Xiao nodded and glanced at Fan Chen with satisfaction. It was indeed the people who were with him that became smarter.

"Yes, the city is important for population development. Therefore, the most important thing for the castle of the dead is to absorb a large number of foreign populations.

By the way, the name has to be changed, Castle of the Dead? Damn, who would dare run over when I heard the name? "

Chen Peng laughed.

"Master Yang Cheng, the name of the castle of the dead should have been for hundreds of years. It is said that it was a small town founded by a group of vicious people. They did not expect to attract any population. On the contrary, they rejected the foreign population, so they took it. Such a fierce name,

Not only the deceased's castle, but many cities in mainland China are actually excluding foreign populations. "

"why?"

"The reason is very simple. Most of the people who come to mainland China are criminals who have fled from other groups of dwarf stars. These people have complex backgrounds and are not easy to manage. The more people come, the easier it is for cities to fall into unrest.

But a city does not have a population, so most castle owners will set restrictions and leave those who have a high degree of genetic evolution through various conditions.

Some of these people are absorbed into the guards, and some are called residents of the city. They can go out and hunt monsters and have the ability to pay city protection fees. "

Yang Xiao listened and said,

"Others restrict the population. We do not restrict. We must maintain an open attitude. When someone comes in, there will be consumption and labor, which will create value and make the city more prosperous.

In Mid-Continent, our dead castle will become a new banner,

Liberty, Equality, Fraternity!

A city full of hope,

Well, the name of the city must be changed, it is called the city of hope! "

The crowd looked at Yang Xiao aggressively, and had not yet come to understand his words of "freedom, equality, fraternity", and heard the words "City of Hope" flashing in their heads.

The city of hope gives hope and longing.

Qi old nodded and applauded,

"Okay, Lord Yang Cheng, the name is good. The city of hope is filled with warmth."

Chen Peng, Rakucho and others also said that the name is good.

Yang Xiao waved his hand,

"That's it. Rename the city of hope. The spirit of our city is freedom, equality, and fraternity. We must carve these six purples on the gates of the city and on the city square so that everyone knows

In addition, demolish the avenue of death. All people who are willing to enter the city of hope can enter at will. Those who want to settle can register at the citizen hall.

Ordinary tourists, passers-by, merchants, etc. are not required to pay city protection fees.

Also, expand market trading and encourage everyone to establish various shops, which can facilitate everyone to come and trade various monster prey, weapons, armor, elixir, etc.

We strive to build the city of hope into the largest trading market in mainland China in one or two years.

By the way, I just saw that the daily necessities in the market are very expensive, so do n’t do this. You have to lower the price and give everyone a low-cost living environment.

Passing my order, if you are willing to sell daily necessities to cities outside Zhongzhou to sell here, you will be exempted from city protection fees and transaction taxes. "

"what?"

Chen Peng, Lecho and others looked at Yang Xiao in surprise.

Other cities only value those refugees who have a high level of genetic evolution. Why does Yang Xiao value these ordinary vendors so much?

Yang Xiao did not explain, saying,

"Chen Peng, you are the old man of the castle. You are responsible for this. Within three days, let everyone in the city know my order. Anyone who is willing to engage in commercial sales and transportation can waive the city protection fee. And transaction taxes,

In addition, that avenue of death was converted into a commercial avenue. "

Chen Peng listened and said aloud,

"No problem, I will have the guards post your notices at the fair, every street, send out a publicity team to explain your order, and the reconstruction of the commercial street will begin immediately."

"Rakucho, I also have an important task for you. You take people to the surrounding cities to spread the news. Let ’s say that the castle of the deceased has been renamed the city of hope. People only charge 50 wafers per month,

Also, tell them that the city of hope has a large number of daily necessities to buy, which are good and cheap,

In addition, go to other city fairs to publicize, do business in the city of hope, exempt city protection fees, exempt transaction tax. "

Rakucho said,

"Okay, no problem. I will send ten teams to each of the ten neighboring cities."

"Qi Lao, as the captain of the guard team, from now on, you will arrange a guard to patrol the city for 24 hours."

Qi Lao patted his chest,

"Master Yang Cheng, you can rest assured that the city security is on me."

...

Soon, Yang Xiao's new policy caused a great sensation in the city. Everyone was discussing the issue of doing business, especially the businessmen Yang Xiao said were exempting city protection fees and transaction taxes. Appeal.

Some people who hunt on a daily basis have a high level of genetic evolution. They are also tempted to plan to go out and sell items back.

Rows of shops began to build on both sides of Death Street, and tenders for shops began.

The name of the city of hope and its own words of equality and fraternity have also been engraved outside the gate.

Yang Xiao also arranged for people to set up road signs at several road intersections hundreds of kilometers away, pointing to the city of hope, and introducing the city of hope on the road sign.

...

A group of more than a dozen hunting out of the dark forest reached a fork in the road.

"Well, **** it, when is there a road sign here, City of Hope? Where is City of Hope, never heard of it?"

"You do n’t know the words, and you do n’t see the introduction on the road signs? The former castle of the dead was renamed the City of Hope. The City of Hope is a good place for everyone to settle, start a business, and do business. The new residents have a city protection fee within one year. Those who are permanently exempt from city protection fees and transaction taxes ... "

Everyone looked at the introduction on the street sign, and they were all terrified.

"Oh, I heard that the lord of the deceased's castle was killed. Is this new lord a fool? He doesn't charge for protection. Where can he afford the guards?

Businessmen are permanently exempted from city protection fees ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Exempt from transaction tax. Did the city owner grow up drinking northwest wind? "

"Boss, do we want to go over and see that I don't have to pay to enter the castle and can come in and out freely."

"Okay, so, let's go and see."

This group of people came from Titan City, five hundred kilometers away. They were just a group of ordinary hunters, the boss was named Gemu.

Titan City, like the former Castle of the Dead, has a population of about 500,000 and a monthly protection fee of 100 wafers per person.

Gemu is the head of a family. There are more than 50 women and children in the entire family. The monthly protection fee alone is more than 5,000 wafers. For Gemu, this is a heavy burden.

Gemu took dozens of ethnic people to perform floating flight exercises. After dozens of minutes, he came to the city of hope.

Gemu and others landed about one kilometer away from the city gate. It was very lively to see people coming and going outside the city. Many of them were pushing cars with a few mouthfuls and moving around with quilt furniture of.
