Urban residents are mainly engaged in hunting and fishing businesses.

However, due to the long-term poverty in the city, young people have long been malnourished and basically have few strong ones, so their efficiency is relatively low.

In addition, it has become colder and colder over the years, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to build a fishing industry.

If you can’t make up for the fish, you won’t be able to make up for it. If you don’t have money, you won’t be able to subsidize your household income. If you can’t afford new clothes, you won’t be able to afford quilts.

For this reason, I have long been accustomed to the fact that people often freeze to death.

Children make a living by cutting wood and picking up mushrooms in the forest.

——

Because the people in the city are too poor, they can't afford to keep warm clothes and quilts.

Therefore, the sales of this firewood increased.

But this is not a big deal.

Without professional craftsmen and basic tools, in a broken house, the air leaks and the fires that should be caught unexpectedly.

In short, it is such a town that is like a slum dilemma.

"Then what?"

"Then? Then it's the adult business." The boss said with confidence.

"Tell me, I asked you to give me an idea, but you just introduced me to the background of the land reclamation."

"Sir, to be honest... I'm just a soldier and war. It's okay if you want me to ask for trouble. As for the planning of the town, I really don't understand this..."

"Then you calculate for me, how long can your brother take care of the little money?"

"Well...it depends on the price of 10 copper coins of two kilograms of rice here.

One gold coin can be used for 1,000 people to dine two kilograms of rice each.

There are about 5,000 people in our city, which means that 5 gold coins can make everyone two kilograms of rice.

The adults spent more than 20 gold coins, and an average of one person could get eight kilograms of rice.

I guess I can manage a lot of days. If I save money and combine it with my usual side dishes, it will be fine for a month.

Having said that, transporting 40,000 kilograms of rice is quite laborious, and I guess the merchant needs help.

Of course, it depends on what my brother bought. There may be oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and meat. Adults just need to wait."

"When I went to inspect just now, I saw a lot of abandoned chicken coops, why no one has raised them now?"

"Sir, this person can't even raise chickens anymore. Sometimes the feed is more expensive than humans.

Although free-range farming is good, it may be stolen by someone or eaten by wild animals.

The same thing is said, the firewood is not enough, and no one is willing to strengthen the chicken coop.

It's very difficult for everyone to just support themselves.

Not to mention the transaction of raising chickens at such a high cost.”

"If I were you, I might as well go to live somewhere else."

"In fact, many people have "left", but there are still people who are nostalgic for the land in their hometown..."

The boss smiled bitterly, Hei Jiu pointed at him and said:

"For example, you?"

"Sir, I have good eyesight."

"Take me to the usual fishing place to take a look!"

"Okay, please come with me."

After saying that, I began to lead the way ahead.

Then, we came to an endless lake.

The entire lake is covered with thick ice.

There were several young people who were desperately smashing ice with picks to try to break through the ice surface for fishing.

However, it failed in the end.

The ice was too thick, and they couldn't see any hope even if they were panting.

And at this moment, Hei Jiu and the boss walked over.

"City, City Lord!"

Seeing this, a young man knelt down as he said that, and the others followed suit.

"It's not a major occasion. Such meaningless etiquette will be abolished in the future.

I see you are breaking the ice. How is it? Is the harvest good recently?"

"Return to the city lord, I have not caught fish for many days..."

Several people stood up and smiled bitterly.

"Then what are you eating these days?"

"Grassroots, or, or go find some mushrooms in the snow."

"One carnivore has fallen into this field. If the herbivorous demons see it, wouldn't it be laughed at by people?"

"You can't say that... Sir, don't you also eat vegetarian food..."

"I am a human, and the human race is an omnivorous animal. What's the use of comparing you with me?"

After saying that, he pulled out his own magic sword.

Seeing this, the boss hurriedly took the people aside.

Then, the magic sword was swung, and there was only a loud "boom".

All the thick ice on the lake around it turned into pieces.

Seeing this, the young men immediately felt happy.

Then, I hurried to the nearby wooden house to get a net, intending to show off my skills today.

And by the time they brought the net back, Hei Jiu and the boss were gone.

——

"How long can I take care of it?" On the way back, Hei Jiu asked the boss.

"I guess I'll have to freeze all tomorrow."

"This is not a long-term solution..."

"But the fishermen have been accustomed to it for a long time."

"To put it bluntly, can you find a good enemy country nearby to destroy it and then send it to the public?"

"Well... the small countries around here are basically friendly with the Black Fox Kingdom, and there is no reliable reason not to mind doing that."

"Then you can help me settle the general account."

"Sir, please speak!"

"Drain all the slums in the city, which are rotten and cannot shelter from wind and rain..."

"In this case, I guess you will have to demolish your residence except for adults."

"How much does it cost to hire people to remove them?"

"No money, as long as adults are willing, everyone can voluntarily work on the free firewood. The question is where they live after the demolition."

"Is it expensive to build a house here?"

"It depends on whether it is a wooden house or a cement house, and then whether it is a single person or a family house."

"How much does it cost?"

"A single-person wooden house is cheap, just 40 silver coins, a family room is about one gold coin, a single-person stone house is two gold coins, and a family room is about the same hardware coin.

There are about 3,000 families in our city. If you have fully repaired a stone house, you may get more than 15,000 gold coins.”

"so much?"

"Not much, the food price in our land is high, but the construction business has always been unpopular, so it is much cheaper than other places."

"I'll ask, this big guy's land..."

"Oh, this city lord can rest assured. Yuecheng clearly stipulates that the land belongs to the state and the city lord has the right to deal with it at will.

Well... Although this is a bit like that, the fact is:

Moon City is ruled by dictators.

In other words, as long as you are shameless enough, let alone the land, it is legal to force the robbery of the common women."

"This statement is really disgusting..."

"But it is common sense among people in Yuecheng."

"By the way, do people in Yuecheng pay taxes? The government can't have no income."

"In the past, I paid for the dealer when I could grow it. Now the snow is getting heavier every year, and no one has grown it anymore.

So naturally, I can't pay taxes.

Even if you have to pay taxes, you will use other things to pay the government instead, such as the already pitiful food.

The predecessor of the city lord is often angry because he cannot collect taxes. Some families with daughters try to pay taxes with their daughters for a long time.

But the city lord disliked the other party's civilian status and could not speak out, so he ended up not collecting anything..."
