John Senior said goodbye to his wife and children and walked out of the room.
The morning sun brought with it the fragrance of the earth. Birds chirped and flew far away, bringing with it a vibrant vitality.
"Good morning, Old John."
"Hey, good morning, Old John. I heard that you've been transferred to work in the noble district? Did the lord give more flour and meat to those who worked there?”
"I heard that the supervisors in the noble district are all elves. Are the elves really as beautiful as the rumors say?”
"I've seen some elves before. They're indescribably beautiful regardless of gender.”
The neighbors on the street seemed to have been summoned and filed out. Everyone's face was red. Although their clothes were still tattered and patched, their expressions were not as pale as before. They were much more energetic.
John Senior smiled and greeted the neighbors, and they were ready to go to work together.
Central City, no, Dragon City was indeed different from the past. The biggest impression left on Old John was that it was much cleaner.
In the past, this street was filled with littered garbage and the stench of decay. This smell was almost the norm in most parts of the city. It was even more serious in the slums. Only the areas where the nobles lived looked better.
However, ever since the great Lord Jalalakron became the Lord of the Ruthless Empire, the first order he issued was to clean up the environment within the radiation range of his residence. He did not require that there be no rubbish, but it must be clean and tidy. At the same time, no one was allowed to urinate and defecate. If found to be light, they would be fined. If found to be serious, they would be flogged. Moreover, every civilian must take a bath at least once a week.
Although the daily living habits of the people were restricted by strict laws, the people at the bottom were submissive. As long as they could survive, they would definitely abide by them, not to mention that the great feudal lord was so generous. If they did not abide by the laws set by such a generous feudal lord, no one would pity them even if they died.
Dragon City was not lacking in water resources. It was located in the St. Solaire Mountains, and there was an underground river that was filled with wells. It was more than enough to meet the needs of the city.
As a world that was close to medieval civilization, bathing was not popular here. Most civilians might not even be able to bathe once a year. It was not because they could not bathe, but because it was difficult for everyone to survive. Who would care if their bodies were dirty or smelly?
However, under the strict orders of the Feudal Lord, everyone began to clean up and tidy up. Some people even joked in private that the Feudal Lord was actually an elf, because only elves loved cleanliness.
In the past, it was because everyone lived in a dirty and smelly environment. It was meaningless to be clean alone, as it would soon become smelly. But now, under the Lord's law, everyone began to clean up. Old John realized that the city had changed a lot. At the very least, walking on the streets and smelling the fresh air made people feel much better.
During the day, all the men who could work in the city would be called to do manual labor to rebuild the city, while the women would be required to clean up the city environment. This was simply impossible in other cities, because if there was no production, the city would soon have problems due to the lack of food. Without food collection, the lords would become poor and even lose their territories.
However, the holy dragon seemed to have endless wealth. He did not care about food at all. Every day, he would let the residents of the city transform the city according to his design and clean up the dirty environment. After every day's work, he would reward those who worked hard with exquisite wheat and one tael of meat to fill their stomachs. If they performed well, they would be rewarded with even more meat. To these civilians who ate black bread and even wood chips every day, This was simply the beauty that only the kingdom of the gods had.
That may be white bread or that may be high quality white bread, that may be only true, that may be power, that may be nobility, that may be food, that may
To be able to enjoy such an unbelievable life, if anyone didn't work hard, they would die a thousand deaths!
For example
, on the way to the construction site where he was assigned, John Senior saw a dozen naked people kneeling on the ground in a square, wailing. Beside each of them was a soldier holding a leather whip and lashing them hard. Their skin was cut open, and blood flowed everywhere. Their cries for mercy and cries shook the sky.
These soldiers were the defenders of the Central City. The elite soldiers gathered from various countries had been brought by Abir to invade the elves and were wiped out by Louis. Those who were left behind could be said to be military ruffians. They did not have much combat power, but they were very familiar with the city. Louis did not expect them to be used as an army, but he left them behind to be used as supervisors. They had to work well for the lord. To repay the sin of resisting the great dragon, these people could help Louis motivate the civilians to work hard.
As a lord, as a dragon, as a dragon that had come to a world similar to the medieval civilization, Louis wasn't one of those crazy saints. He quickly adapted to his identity and integrated into it. He wouldn't apply modern civilization to this world.
If you talked about human rights with these civilian slaves, they might privately call you a fool. In such an environment, Louis could be a fair, generous, strict, and great lord, but he would never be a public servant who served the people. He would beat, kill, and scold all the people in his territory. He had the right to decide the life and death of his territory.
In Louis's opinion, those brainless saintly protagonists would not survive more than three episodes in reality!
"Look at this! No wonder they're poor. The lord is so generous and great. As long as he works hard, he can enjoy the delicacies that only the nobles have. He can fill his stomach. These people are actually cheating and pretending to work so that they can eat and drink.”
"I know that person. I pitied him when I saw him in the slums. Now it seems that this kind of person is not worthy of pity."”
"Keeping them alive is also wasting food. It's better to kill them.”
Under the curses and malice of the surrounding onlookers, the lazy ones were gradually beaten to the point of death. A soldier came over to check for breathing. After discovering that the person was already dead, he waved his hand to summon the other soldiers, preparing to take the body of the lazy one outside the city and burn it.
People were warm and kind, but people were cold and cruel. This was a real and complicated world and real people.
It didn't take long for the onlookers to disperse because it was time to go to work.
Now, the entire Dragon City was in full swing. All the major construction sites were working. Everywhere he went, he could see major infrastructure. As Louis, whose soul came from the capital, he was all too familiar with major infrastructure!
Especially in this era, people were too easy to fool. If you gave them enough food, they would give you a job. If you gave them white bread, these people would sell their lives to you to create surplus value for you. In Louis's eyes, they were simply free labor!
Moreover, they would praise you for your generosity and greatness while working, and cry and praise you at the same time. This was simply unimaginable in modern society.
Louis knew very well that the economic foundation determined the architecture. Only by laying the foundation of the city well could the city soar like a dragon in the future!
Dragon City was being changed by him!
