Chapter 291 Gulf collar likes a win-win situation (3 updates)

The two discussed it for a while, but still felt that hearing was false and seeing was believing.

Aini leads people to guard the goods.

Paris, with a few clever men, began to wander around the bay area.

You don’t know if you haven’t seen it, but you are really shocked by the Bay Leader.

Bayland is a strange place.

Keep absorbing the population.

Thousands of people are transported in the teleportation square every day.

The speed of growth is jaw-dropping.

Paris is extremely envious.

If their population growth rate were so fast, they would not be in such trouble as they are now as long as they lay dormant for decades.

What makes Paris think even more is that the Gulf Territory is clearly continuously reclaiming wasteland, and the number of farmland has reached no less than 200,000 to 300,000 acres.

But I still keep buying food.

Paris speculated that this should be to cope with the growing population.

It can be seen that the lord of this territory has a long-term plan that exceeds that of ordinary people.

A remote area of ​​the human empire is developing rapidly.

Even though their magic technology is not very developed, their territory and population are constantly increasing.

This can give them greater and greater war potential.

Moreover, compared to the human cities they had seen before.

Bay City is very clean and tidy, and even pays more attention to hygiene than some elf cities.

This gave Paris a considerable fondness for the city and the legendary Lord Matthew.

During the discussion, Paris felt that the Gulf Territory was strange.

As he learns more about the Gulf Territory.

That strange feeling became more and more intense.

In the Gulf Territory, Paris did not see any beggars or thieves.

This is not uncommon even in the heart of Sewendon-Netheril Empire.

Everyone was so busy that Paris never even saw them stop to rest.

Even in the shade of trees on both sides of the road, there is no shortage of tables and chairs for enjoying the shade and resting.

Paris took it for granted that the people living here were under great pressure.

They have to work from nine to five in order to have enough food, clothing and a place to live.

Paris searched for a long time, but could not find anyone idle on the street.

The soldiers thought they were "suspicious" and came over to ask them. They learned that they wanted to have lunch and pointed them to a food street.

Paris and others walked into an oriental-style restaurant and ordered a large table of dishes.

He looked at the customers coming and going, grabbed a waiter who was ordering food, and subconsciously took out a gold coin:

"Hello, can I ask a few questions?"

The waiter smiled and waved his hand, seemingly not caring about the gold coins at all:

"If you have any questions, just ask me. I will answer any questions you can!"

The taverns and restaurants specially arranged at the city gate and the adventurer hall are meant to take care of the adventurers and caravans who have just arrived in the bay.

When the customers next to them saw this scene, they seemed to recall the scene when they came, and couldn't help but smile.

Paris didn't just open his mouth, he asked for the answer he wanted to know. After deliberate consideration, he asked curiously:

"Why don't we see children in the city? Where have they gone?"

The waiter was not surprised by this question. Now many adventurers and caravans have asked this question, and then they were all moved:

"They are all in school, in a college not far away."

This answer was beyond Paris' expectations, and he couldn't help but ask:

"All children? Can they receive free education? Can they read and write?"

Seeing the waiter nodding, Paris felt inexplicably shocked.

All children?

Can everyone receive education?

Before he could react, the waiter's eyes showed a little happiness, he shook his head and corrected him:

"Reading and literacy is only part of it, it's more about learning to be a human being and becoming a professional..."

Be a human being?

Professional?

This is impossible!

How many resources will be invested?

Not even elves can do this!

"The Lord once said that to live in this dangerous world, we cannot lack power. Knowledge is power!"

Knowledge is power?

Well said!

Paris suddenly wanted to meet this mysterious lord, but he endured it and continued to ask tentatively:

"Is this voluntary?"

Some of them shook their heads dumbfounded. The waiter recalled the situation in which he was "cheated" by the child in two or three sentences, and couldn't help but smile bitterly:

"No, this is mandatory by the lord. All children who are not old enough must go to school, all for free."

"He once said something that I totally agree with."

"The people are blindly obedient. They will think what many people say and will not take the initiative to think about whether what they say is right or not."

"That's right!"

"You're right, I've had this happen several times."

The customers next to me also remembered something and nodded in agreement.

With his eyes widened slightly, Paris became even more confused, and he had a deeper impression of the mysterious lord in his mind.

"What are those buildings outside?"

"In the factory area, everything we can use can be produced there."

"Everything?"

"Yes, the firewood, rice, oil and salt we eat, the clothes and bedding we wear, the carriage tools we use, and even the adventurers' weapons and equipment are all produced there..."

"Can I go there and have a look?"

"Of course, there is a product display area there, with purchase prices and guided selling prices..."

Paris thought about the lack of resources in his hometown and couldn't help but asked excitedly: "Are there weapons and equipment too?"

The adventurer next to him couldn't help but chimed in:

"That's right, ordinary equipment has a clearly marked price, and if you have gold coins, you can just drag it away."

Another adventurer nodded repeatedly and said in a helpless and happy tone:

"For enchanted equipment, most of them require contribution points. If there is really a large demand, you can go to the Lord's Mansion to find Butler Ralph."

His deskmate seemed to have remembered something, and nervously came over and said:

"If you can buy a lot of enchanted weapons and equipment later, can I increase the price by 20% to buy a dagger?"

Paris, who was a little dazed, nodded repeatedly and continued to ask other questions.

All were answered by enthusiastic waiters and adventurers.

What Paris didn't know was that his move had already been watched by members of the inspection team.

After Paris and others finished lunch, they just walked out of the restaurant when they saw Leon at the gate of the city.

"Mr. Paris, is there anything we can do to help you? What do you seem to want to buy?"

Seeing Paris' hesitant expression, although Leon didn't know what he was hiding, he still said patiently:

"Gulf leaders like a win-win situation most, and being frank with each other is good for everyone."

Paris looked at Leon's calm face and nodded inexplicably:

"I wish I could meet that butler Ralph..."
