Chapter 244: Chapter 244 The Daily Life of A City Lord
“My Lord, My Lord, we don’t have enough food and we need to buy it from Wutong Village immediately.”
“My Lord, My Lord, our residents are complaining that the weather has been very bad recently. The drizzle has left them with no places to dry their clothes. They hope that you can find a way to solve this problem.”
“My Lord, My Lord, our residents want rich entertainment activities and they want to see our own idols on stage.”
“My Lord, My Lord, our residents think that education is a big problem. Children should not play all day long, they need to study. Our residents are very disappointed and hope that you could build a school as soon as possible.”
Getting up early in the morning, Zhou Yu was faced with these messages, which really made him want to yell, ‘Enough, you guys, give me some peace!’
When it was still a little Luhua village, although villagers also had some small requests, he was able to satisfy their requests easily. But he didn’t expect that all kinds of dissatisfaction notices would pop out one by one after the upgrade, which was really a headache.
Food was indeed a problem. Luhua City did not produce its own grain, and the food produced by the mini vegetable field was only enough for the original villagers of Luhua village. Now that there were so many business people, naturally, food would not be enough. The nearby Wutong Village was the food base of Big Bird City, and Big Bird City and Luhua City had already established commercial channels, so Zhou Yu could buy food from them.
Food was very important. Letting it be controlled by other people was a very stupid thing. But unfortunately, Luhua City was defined as a commercial city, so it was a bit difficult if it wanted to develop its own agricultural industry. The only solution was to conquer a piece of land that was characterized as an agricultural territory, and then he would be able to develop the agricultural industry.
There were many blank villages near Luhua City, but they were all very low-level agricultural villages. Those villages that had been developed like Wutong Village, had already been taken over by other forces. However, Zhou Yu has declared that Luhua City would be a neutral city, so he could not conquer other forces’ land but to develop the agricultural village by himself.
With the current city level of Luhua City, Zhou Yu could have one agricultural village. This matter, he has already entrusted Lilith to do it. But even if he developed an agricultural village, he could only guarantee that people would not starve. But the people in a city definitely would not be satisfied with just one type of food.
A low-level agricultural village could only produce only one type of food. If it was the general agricultural population, people would not complain, but the commercial population would need at least three types of food to stop them from complaining. Therefore, it was still necessary to buy food from other places, and the surplus grains produced in his own agricultural areas could also be sold to other places.
By the afternoon, Lilith finally returned, “My lord we have taken control of Lv Liu village, and according to your request, we have recruited the relevant agricultural personnel. However, it will take at least a month to produce food.”
Lv Liu village was an ownerless village. What Lilith did was simply go there and place a flag there.
For the food problem, it seemed like before the village was able to produce anything, he had to trouble the stray cat Hank again. He, who worked very hard at the Commercial Bureau every day, not only had to manage the shops and the small amusement park in the city but now he also had to be responsible for buying and selling grains. The poor little cat.
Now the next notice.
Complaining about the weather!? It is a natural phenomenon that rains will appear more often during autumn. I’m not God. Controlling the weather is not my job.
Zhou Yu almost wanted to kick the ass of the guy who made this complaint. Then he suddenly thought of the misty rain stone in the Little kingdom, it seemed that that thing could really control the weather. So he went to find the knowledgeable king of thieves and asked, “Are there any treasures like the Sun Stone in the ACG world that can control the weather?”
“There are many items that could control the weather, the Sun Stone is just one type of them. If you can visit the equator, you will find that there is a strange beast called Drought, and as soon as it appears, there will be a drought immediately. In the West, there is also a strange beast called the Fire Demon, which can also produce high temperature and high heat. ”
Er… I just want to have a sunny day. Why do I need a drought?
Treasures of the ACG world definitely would not affect the weather of the ACG world, otherwise, this world would be in chaos. Even if the Sun Stone was found, it would probably just be placed in an empty room in the residential area so the mini people would have a place to dry their clothes.
As long as there was indeed something like this, the rest would be handled by the Commercial Bureau. It was actually quite simple. They just needed to issue a notice saying that the Lord wanted the Sun Stone, and there would be a bit of reward. Then he just needed to wait for adventurers to take this quest.
There were so many adventurers wandering in the barren land of the ACG world. Naturally, a small Sun Stone would not be a problem for them. And as expected, soon, after the notice was posted, someone took the quest and arrived at Zhou Yu’s door with the Sun Stone.
However, this adventurer actually didn’t want the reward Zhou Yu offered, but proposed an exchange condition, “Dear Lord of Luhua City, I heard that you have a famous sword named ‘Embroidery Needle’, so I want to exchange this Sun Stone for it. ”
Zhou Yu indeed had this thing. He would occasionally get some weapons from the dragon prince’s treasure bowl, and the ’embroidery needle’ was one of them.
When Zhou Yu just got this item, he thought that it was a top-level treasure such as the Dinghai Shenzhen, the Stabilizer of the Four Seas, but he later found that it was really just an ordinary weapon, so it was kept in the storehouse. Regarding this weapon, even Little Firefly also didn’t like to use it.
Since it was useless, using it to trade the Sun Stone was not a bad deal.
The Sun Stone was later placed in the billow sound pavilion. Although no one came to swim at this time, the temperature of the whole billow sound pavilion was no different from that of the summertime after the Sun Stone was installed. In this way, there was a place to dry wet clothes, and the ACG world tourists would also come here again.
The happiest person was the chubby dragon prince.
Summer was the chubby prince’s favorite season, because only in this season could he be playing in the sea happily. Now that this Sun Stone was added to the pavilion, he could finally enjoy life by the sea for a whole year.
Seeing the chubby prince was running happily on the beach, Zhou Yu mocked in a mischievous manner, “don’t get so excited. This sun is fake. It will not last very long. I heard the adventurer say that it will last for one year at the most, then its heat will disappear. ”
Seeing the chubby dragon prince’s face instantly became very gloomy, Zhou Yu left satisfactorily. The real Sun Stone was a legendary item. Naturally, it would not be obtained so easily. But this fake one was more than enough to solve his temporary problem. If the real one couldn’t be found, the fake one didn’t seem to be that expensive, so Zhou Yu would still be willing to pay for the fake one.
Hence this weather problem was solved perfectly.
Now the next item, the citizens wished to increase entertainment facilities and build a star entertainment hall.
Zhou Yu didn’t have any spare money at the moment, so he just skipped this one that checked the next one instead.
Building a school and providing educational facilities for children?
Do they think it is very easy to build a school? If you don’t meet the requirements, you can’t build one, even if you have money. It is already fortunate enough that I have a Sky Knight Academy. Now they want another school? Just wait! This thing can’t be rushed!
Next!
At the beginning of the construction of the city, there were always a lot of matters that needed to be handled, and coupled with the shortage of manpower, it seemed extremely busy. Recently it was so noisy that it made Zhou Yu feel an extreme headache. He was already busy solving various problems for the residents everywhere, but every morning there would still be a bunch of new problems.
The poor Zhou Yu almost wanted to give up wearing glasses. He just wanted to live a peaceful life. However, there were his children, animation, comic and games in the ACG world. He didn’t want to live without them.
Unwillingly, he had to become a public servant obediently.
Keep it up! Everything will get better.
