A medium-sized freight magic locomotive speeds through the Heimi Wasteland.
The road rolled under the tires is the latest road invested and built by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce using the new technology of the Amuli Chamber of Commerce. The road surface is not only more than ten meters wide, it is enough to accommodate four large freight magic locomotives running side by side, and is more than 100 meters wide. The road used to be smoother.
Even if you are driving on it at a speed of nearly 50 kilometers per hour, you will still only feel slight bumps and will not feel any discomfort.
In fact, this speed has exceeded the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's speed rating standard for medium-sized freight magic motorcycles, but for an experienced driver like Mr. Sakchi, speeding is a common occurrence.
If it weren't for the fact that the maximum speed of this medium-sized freight magic motorcycle was only fifty kilometers per hour, he would definitely run faster.
Father Sakchi put one hand on the steering wheel and grabbed a bottle of fresh juice with the other hand and drank it in one gulp.
It is already early winter, () 3.s. This bottle of fresh juice has been sitting for a long time, so it is naturally a little cold. After drinking it in one gulp, Father Sakchi shivered involuntarily.
It is easy to get tired after driving for too long. Drinking a sip of cold fresh juice can not only stimulate the spirit, but also supplement some nutrition. This is what Mr. Sakchi often does when transporting goods. As soon as the fresh juice cans were put down, Father Batlu, who was lying in the back seat of the cab, woke up, yawned, stood up, looked outside, and asked Father Sakchi, "Where are you?"
"Just arrived in the Black Rice Wasteland." Father Sakchi replied casually.
Father Batru observed the environment outside the car and nodded: "Well, it's not bad. Okay. Let me drive. You have been driving for several hours."
"It's okay." Father Sakchi objected. "We will arrive at the base of Black Rice Wasteland in a while. We will change people when we come out of there. You need to wake up first."
Father Batru thought for a while, but did not persist at home. He hunched over from the back seat and climbed into the passenger seat, curling up and sitting down.
After looking outside for a while, Father Battru suddenly asked: "Hey, Sakchi, are you really planning to move?".
Father Sakchi didn't expect that he would ask this question as soon as he woke up. After being stunned for a moment, he nodded and said yes.
"I will take a good look at the environment of the Principality of Standing this time, and then decide whether to really move there. But I heard from the guys in the village who have lived in the Principality of Standing for more than a year that the environment of the Principality of Standing is It's really nice, the climate is good, and they all live very comfortably, so I think... they will probably choose to move." Father Batru frowned slightly, and turned to look at Father Sakchi's expression to confirm. There was no hint of joking.
"This... your family has lived in Mexico Village for more than a hundred years, right? Do you really have to move a lot of things? Why are you so reluctant to do so?"
Father Sakchi sneered nonchalantly: "What's the point of not giving up? Where to live is not to live? After all, wherever you can live a good life, you will naturally choose where. Now Bangta City is ruined by those chambers of commerce. If you continue to stay there, there will be no good results.”
"That's not the case..." Battru's father retorted: "Although those chambers of commerce are not as practical as the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, in the end they are just a few chambers of commerce. Can they turn Bangta City over?"
"You don't believe it?" Father Sakchi snorted coldly. "Those guys can even drive away the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, what else can't be done? Even if we don't talk about these, let's just talk about our family. Now the three boys in my family have lost their previous jobs and want to work in Bangkok. If you want to find a job in Tacheng, you can only go to those chambers of commerce. But do you know how much they pay? Six gold coins a month! It’s not even half of their previous monthly salary!”
Father Batru muttered: "It's not like we can't live with six gold coins. In the past, we couldn't make much money in a month, but we still managed to survive."
"That's the past. Anyway, I will never do it again if I am asked to live the life of not having enough to eat." Father Sakchi snorted coldly: "Those three boys in our family are not willing to do it either. , so we discussed it and decided to move. As long as we work under the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, we can earn close to twenty gold coins in any job in a month, which is not much better than staying in Bangta City. "
"That's what I said, but Sakchi, have you ever thought about a question?" Father Batru asked again. "According to the latest regulations of the City Lord's Mansion, those who move out of Bangta City without authorization will automatically be deemed to have given up their status as citizens of Bangta City. In other words, it is easy for you to move out, but it will be difficult for you to move back. And I'm worried... Maybe the Kingdom Council will issue similar regulations in the future. What if you are not recognized as a citizen of the Kingdom after you move?"
"If you don't admit it, don't admit it." Father Sakchi still looked nonchalant, obviously he had thought about this problem for a long time. "I just said, wherever you can live a good life, then go somewhere. It has nothing to do with Bangta City, Lampali Kingdom or anything like that."
"But we are Lampali people after all, so just leaving like this...are you really willing to do it?"
"Why are you so reluctant? Now this bullshit king is messing around and doesn't treat us civilians as human beings. Why are we so reluctant? Commoners like us don't have to think about national affairs. Anyway, those big shots never treat us. Take it seriously." Father Sakchi said with disdain.
Father Batru was silent for a moment and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Although he always felt that Father Sarkozy's attitude was wrong, he could not find any reason to refute him.
Because what Daddy Sakchi said is true.
After the new King Eric ascended the throne, the entire Lampali Kingdom and Bangta City changed.
Bangta City, which was once prosperous and prosperous, has now completely become a plaything in the hands of the ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magic Industry Administration.
In addition to driving away the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and squeezing out other chambers of commerce that produce magic machinery and occupying Bangta City's magic industry, those ten chambers of commerce have now extended their hands to other fields and gradually want to erode the old brands in Bangta City. The market of chambers of commerce.
Although the old chambers of commerce are still resisting desperately with their own foundation, they are becoming increasingly difficult and are gradually beginning to show signs of collapse.
If it's just normal business competition, that's all. It has no direct relationship with ordinary civilians like Father Sakchi and Father Batru. Maybe there will be some benefits from the competition between chambers of commerce.
But the question is, what areas have those ten chambers of commerce controlled, and they have also deeply affected the lives of ordinary civilians.
For example, what Father Sakchi said just now, the ten chambers of commerce now control the magic industry in Bangta City, but they have suddenly suppressed the average salary of this industry that creates the most job opportunities to extremely low standards, making Bangta City All civilians who have previously worked in this industry cannot accept it.
Let's take the cargo transportation they are currently engaged in as an example. If they transported a cargo from Bangta City to Anvilmar City, the round-trip freight was thirty gold coins. Putting aside the consumption on the way, they could earn about ten gold coins from it. gold.
At most in a month, they could even make more than ten trips and earn close to two hundred gold coins.
Divided equally, each person received close to one hundred gold coins, which was considered a high income even in the previous Bangta City.
However, now these ten chambers of commerce have taken control of Bangta City's commercial transportation and are fully suppressing the freight. If they transport goods to Anvilmar City, the freight for a round trip is only fifteen gold coins, which is only half of the previous price!
With such a low shipping fee, if you put aside the consumption on the way, you can only earn a few gold coins at most.
If something goes wrong along the way, you might lose all your money or even have to pay for it.
So after two trips like this, Father Sakchi decided not to take on the freight business from those ten chambers of commerce. Instead, he contacted the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce again and helped the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in Heimi Wasteland, the Principality of Standing and Bonta City. various transportations.
Although they are much more tired than before because of the long journey, the freight rates offered by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are always kind. Their profits are only slightly lower than before, but not much different.
There are many private cargo companies like them in Bangta City. At present, except for some that can no longer work, most of the remaining ones have chosen to continue to cooperate with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce like them.
And because of the deliberate suppression by those ten chambers of commerce, Feilson Carriage and Horse Racing, which originally accounted for most of the freight and passenger transportation business in Bangta City, is now having a difficult time, and it is said that it is about to be unable to survive.
Last time when Father Batro accidentally met President Pompeii in Bonta City, he saw that his face was full of sorrow, and even his body, which had always been extremely fat, had obviously lost weight.
Thinking of the melancholy expression on President Pompeii's face at that time, Father Bartru suddenly felt that what Sakchi said actually made sense.
Since we are going to have trouble living in Bangta City, why bother hanging on to it.
For the big shots in the kingdom, the lives of civilians from the bottom have never been concerned about.
Since they don't care about themselves, why should I care about them
After figuring this out, Father Batro felt that his eyes suddenly became brighter, and his whole person felt refreshed.
After thinking for a while, he said to Father Sakchi: "Okay, this time I will also take the opportunity to observe the environment in the Principality of Standing. I hope it is as good as those people say."
Seeing that Father Battru finally changed his mind, Father Sakchi burst into laughter.
"Don't worry, that place is definitely better than you think."
Father Batru nodded slightly, feeling a little more looking forward to this trip.
