I Became An Acre Of Haunted Land

A wide and flat road has been built from Qilin District to Mora City.

Although it is not comparable to a professional expressway, it is also enough for the continuous delivery of material resources.

Qilin District has become a production base and the residence of local residents, while Mora City has become a material distribution center.

A steady stream of industrial processing products are transported from Qilin District, and then rely on Mora City to radiate to surrounding cities again.

The nobles of Mora City are unfortunate. They have not yet realized that all the mines and land that belonged to them have been taken back by the new power holders.

But they were also lucky, all kinds of strange products in Qilin District were delivered one by one at a speed they had never seen before.

As the nobles of Mora City, they have the priority to purchase these commodities.

As a veteran noble in Mora City, Xilan Kurus is still a little uncertain about the temper of these newcomers.

As the defeated party, the mines originally belonging to his territory have been forcibly confiscated and nationalized, and even a considerable number of slaves have been deprived of them.

And what was exchanged was a piece of paper with the right of first purchase.

For such conditions, Xilan Kurus was naturally dissatisfied at the beginning. Even if the city was broken and the entire Mora City changed its owner, he was still a nobleman of Mora City. The aristocrats under him, they still enjoy different privileges from the common people.

However, those people arbitrarily rejected his appeal.

The reason is that there will be no nobles in New Mora City in the future. If they are willing to grow together with New Mora City, they will give nobles some privileges that are different from commoners.

If you don't want to, please pack your things and leave directly!

Xilan Kurus wanted to argue with them, but before he could say a few words, soldiers with weapons rushed over.

Seeing those menacing soldiers, Xilan Kurus still endured it.

If he leaves directly, then all the things he owns in Mora City will be gone.

The group of vampires treated the nobles much worse than the commoners.

Under the policies of tax relief and self-cultivation relief, the common people completely supported the new ruler overwhelmingly.

Sometimes Xilan Kurus wondered, there are so many outsiders, don't they all need to eat?

Without civilians growing food for these people, who will feed them.

But soon, Xilan Kurus understood.

Those people didn't use the civilians in Mora City to farm for them at all, and they didn't expect the food harvested by those civilians to supplement the army.

The huge steel monster made a deafening sound under the vast plain, and then a large amount of land was reclaimed by them.

With this efficiency, a hundred civilians are no match for them.

In addition to the machinery for reclaiming the wasteland, there are all kinds of amazing other machinery.

For example, efficiency is the sowing machinery of hundreds of farmers, such as an integrated harvester that integrates plowing, fertilizing, planting, and harvesting.

There are even various chemical fertilizers to increase production, and there are even rumors that there is an institution called the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to study the production of crops.

It can be said that under the roar of those giant steel beasts, a few people can do what hundreds or even thousands of people can do.

They are completely self-sufficient.

As for the land of the common people, keep it for yourself, they don't have time to worry about it.

"Your Excellency Kurus, are you planning to leave?"

The figure sitting across from the desk picked up a clear glass of water, took a sip of black tea, and said casually.

After the nobles left that meeting, an undercurrent surged in private.

Being deprived of the rights of the nobility, even the land and slaves that originally belonged to them were taken away one by one, many nobles have already had the idea of ​​leaving.

They want to resist, but the elite soldiers have been patrolling the city, and the steel giants are galloping in the streets and alleys, just to guard against them.

Lost so much, in exchange for a ridiculous right of first purchase?

What is it when they are aristocrats?

Even if they are defeated by hostile **** believers, they can still get part of their own rights.

But now, they have nothing.

"Leave? If I leave, I really have nothing. I have been in Mora City for forty years. This is my home and my territory."

"I'm not going anywhere."

Xilan Kurus said with a wry smile.

Being able to keep a manor of his own and a few shops in Mora City is not a bad thing for him. As long as he persists, he can still overcome the difficulties in front of him.

If he really wanted to leave, he would have nothing, really nothing.

"Most of the members of the aristocratic council have united and plan to attack the high-level. Although they are closely monitored, the huge group of aristocrats still have their own ways to obtain what they need."

"Are you sure you don't want to be with them?"

"No need, the times are progressing." Xilan Kurus rubbed his forehead. "After seeing the movement made by those pagan... New God believers, I think you should understand that the world has changed."

"Huge machinery promotes the development of various industries in Mora City. Do you know? I had several leather shops before, but after those people came, my leather shop almost collapsed."

"After a production factory named Jiangnan Tannery officially started operation, their daily output is equivalent to the workload of our shop for half a year."

"Then why don't you leave..."

"Listen to me!" Xilan Kurus interrupted what the opposite figure wanted to say, and he continued: "I asked the civilians who were recruited, and they offered a price of 2 silver coins a month. Workers supply the factory to produce leather."

"Leaving aside the salary that is higher than that of farming, just guess how many pieces of clothes that worker can produce in a day after being trained by the people in the factory."

"One day? Doesn't it take several days for a piece of clothing? Although I don't know the production of clothes, I also know that we must first buy suitable fabrics, then cut them, and then sew and mend them before making a piece for civilians to wear. clothing."

"How many more days? That trained worker can produce dozens of identical clothes a day, and soon, all the clothes in the entire city of Mora will be monopolized by them."

"Hiss, so many?"

The figure in front of the desk seemed intimidated by this number, took a breath, then quickly picked up the teacup in his hand, and took another sip of black tea.

"You should have been visiting other nobles in Mora City recently, didn't you notice these changes?"

"No!"

"That's right. The tannery is near my residence. I suggest you go and have a look."

"Of course, these are not important, what is important is the opportunities here."

"The clothes and furs produced by the Jiangnan Tannery need to be sold, and we, who have the right to purchase first, can get the fur clothes they produce faster than those civilians."

"Those outsiders need us to sell those things, it's really easy to think about!"

The shadows were noncommittal, they left the nobles in Mora City, and still had to rely on them, even if they had a huge almost miraculous productivity, so what, without the nobles, they were nothing.

"That's right, that's right. But have you carefully read the right of first purchase? In addition to a large number of mechanical terms that we can't understand, they also explained at the end that as nobles who have the right to purchase first, they can buy at a very low price. Price to get the hides they produce."

"I've done the math. Whether it's cloth, animal skins, or finished clothes, the price of the clothes they produce there is... one-third of what it was before."

Speaking of this, Xilan Kurus paused for a while, and then his eyes seemed to be illuminated by light, and his tone became excited.

"The minerals I lost, the servants I lost, everything I lost, I can definitely earn back from those factories."

"You don't even know the production efficiency of those factories. I can become the city of Mora... No, I can become the largest cloth merchant in the kingdom of the gods and even in the entire Krondo continent."

"But…"

"I know what you want to say." Xilan Kurus waved his hand.

"In Mora City, a border city, I'm nothing more than an ordinary nobleman in a border city. As long as I have enough money, or even more money, I can definitely enter the kingdom of the gods and enter other places."

"At that time, what is the city of Mora? What are the lost mines and slaves?"

Xilan Kurus was completely excited at this time.

He danced and looked at the priority purchase volume on the desk. The neat mainland Chinese characters were neatly written, and the paper was extremely clean.

But he knows that as long as he has this purchase certificate, what he will gain in the future is by no means comparable to what he has lost right now.

"It seems that I failed to invite you to join our noble council this time."

The figure on the other side of the desk looked at Xi Lankulusi who was extremely excited, and couldn't say anything for a while.

Obviously, Xilan Kurus was attracted by the big cakes of the pagans, and stood firmly on the side of the pagans.

"Before I end this conversation, I suggest you go and see those newly built...factories in Mora city. There are many things in the priority purchase right. If you go to know them as a nobleman, those people are still willing to explain theirs to you. situation, and even take the initiative to take you into the factory for observation.”

"It's best to make a decision after understanding clearly."

Xilan Kurus stood up and said sincerely.

The reason why he discovered the Jiangnan tannery was because those Protestants built a new weird house not far from his residence, and he came to understand it out of curiosity, and then he learned about this inconspicuous tannery There is such a terrifying efficiency.

If he doesn't observe and understand deeply, maybe he will really be persuaded by the people in front of him and join the group of the noble council to oppose the implementation of the New Deal.

At that time, whether the priority purchase certificate will be confiscated, and whether they still have that power, is completely unpredictable.

"I will find out. Thank you for your hospitality, Your Excellency Siran Kurus."

The figure stood up, bowed slightly to pay tribute, and then left directly.

…

In the temporary city hall of New Mora City, King Jiangnan glanced at documents from time to time.

Regarding the governance of New Mora City, the King of Jiangnan is completely one-size-fits-all. For the common people, the situation remains the same. What was before, will be what will be in the future.

As for the aristocratic class in New Mora City, no matter what age it is, they have long been out of favor.

If it was still in the Jin Dynasty, the King of Jiangnan would at most give some insignificant idle jobs, and everyone's level would be about the same, that's all.

But it's different now. Although Qilin District has suffered a lot, it still has a complete set of industrial chains.

Except for some military and heavy industries that involve secrecy, he transferred other industries to New Mora City with a wave of his hand.

Especially the simplest basic industrial chain, light industry that can produce economic effects, can be opened without being in the Qilin District.

Business is accompanied by military counterparts. He needs a large number of civilians and slaves in Mora City to enter the factory to contribute to the development of the entire Qilin District.

In addition, a huge industrial chain requires a large amount of capital investment, and he doesn't mind giving some sweets to those nobles, it depends on whether they can catch it.

If he is willing to develop together with Qilin District, he doesn't mind giving these people some benefits.

If they don't want to, they plan to conspire to do something unfavorable to New Mora City. The high-altitude drones have already started to operate, and they are watching their movements anytime, anywhere.

It is really too easy for the people in Qilin District to control these people.

The gap in technology makes them invisible at all, and the powerful military bugs can completely see their every move.

What Jiangnan Wang needs to do now is to get more resources and more raw materials.

Although the population of Qilin District with a population of only a few hundred thousand is not even one percent of the high-speed operation of Jiangnan City in the past, they have the capital left by Jiangnan City.

Just eating their capital is enough to make them invincible in this place.

"His Royal Highness, we have detected a strange force approaching us outside Mora City."

A frontline investigator walked into the office, raised his hand and said to Jiangnan Wang.

"Strange troop?"

Jiangnan Wang frowned and said.

"This is a photo taken by frontline investigators, please take a look."

Speaking of this, the soldier sent a stack of materials in due course.

Jiangnan Wang glanced over and blurted out, "Aren't these all zombies? Why are there zombies here?"

The photos taken by the night vision camera clearly captured the appearance of the strange army.

Said to be troops, it would be better to be a group of rotting corpses with missing arms and legs. They are slowly advancing in the wilderness, pointing directly at Mora City.

It's just that this ghostly place doesn't even have aura, how can zombies be formed?

"They're not... zombies, we asked, they're the undead army of the dead souls, the undead army of this world."

"Some civilians have been frightened, and fear is spreading in the city. There are rumors that the gods of the Moon Hidden Temple have begun to take revenge on us."

"His Royal Highness, do we want to..."

"Send out the artillery unit, and try it out first!"

Jiangnan Wang made a decision directly.
