"Everyone, please listen to me!"
Meng Wei said.
Everyone quieted down and looked up at Meng Wei respectfully.
These commoners admired and respected Meng Wei greatly.
After all, without Meng Wei and the protection of Scum City, they would have long since become the souls of the Tubo people.
What made them feel even more proud was that Zha Zha City had actually resisted the onslaught of the 200,000 Tibetan army, and they had personally experienced it.
Such glory was also brought to them by this handsome youth in front of them.
"All the shops opened today will be opened by this city lord. You only need to be responsible for running them. This city lord will give you a monthly salary of 500 wen!”
Meng Wei said.
Before Meng Wei could finish his sentence, the crowd began to boil.
Five hundred wen a month was even more than the income of a minor official in the Great Tang.
"City Lord, is this true?"
A young man cupped his hands and said.
After all, the treatment that the City Lord had just proposed was too appalling.
"My word carries weight!"
Meng Wei said resolutely.
43 people, a month's salary was only 21.5 strings of coins, but now he had a full 15,000 coins jar.
It was enough to pay the wages of these shops for decades.
Moreover, as the trade quota increased in the future, the profits that these shops would bring to him would be hundreds of times more than what he was paying now.
"Thank you, City Lord!"
"This commoner has written about City Lord!"
"The City Lord is really our second parent!”
“......”
The commoners knelt down and thanked Meng Wei profusely.
Meng Wei waved his hand and said," There's no need to be so polite. You're all the first batch of natives of Scum City. You entered Scum City because you trusted me, the City Lord. I'll definitely let you live a prosperous life."”
Hearing Meng Wei's words, the commoners were extremely excited. Even Chun Tian He, Ye Luo Yi, and Han Xue's expressions changed slightly as they felt Meng Wei's high-spirited aura.
"Thank you, City Lord!"
"Thank you, City Lord!"
“......”
The commoners thanked him profusely.
It had to be said that the Chinese people were really a grateful people. In ancient times, this was even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The grace of a drop of water should be repaid with a spring.
This was because the gratitude they felt for Meng Wei came from the bottom of their hearts, without any exaggeration.
"Ding! New data prompt. Resident satisfaction: 100%.”
The sudden notification entered Meng Wei's consciousness.
"Eh? There's actually satisfaction. Looks like I've really become a public servant of the people, hahahaha.”
Meng Wei said with a smile.
After ordering Ye Luo Yi and Han Xue to arrange for these merchants to be placed in specific shops, Meng Wei did not tell them what they needed to sell. Instead, he had Chun Tian He go to the carpenter and order 43 signs.
On it were engraved: beverage store, gourmet store, Tang clothing store, tobacco and alcohol store, fragrance store, hardware store, weapon store, etc.
Of course, the business content of these shops would be somewhat repetitive, which was inevitable. After all, the things that could be sold at the moment were still relatively limited. It was only a matter of time before they opened these shops. As for whether to sell things or what to sell, it was all up to Meng Wei.
After the signboard was hung up, the shops opened. Even though there were no goods on display, it was considered a successful opening of the shop.
After all, these people were paid, so of course, they were considered to have started their business.
Hiring 43 people at once and providing them with a generous salary had greatly increased the average income of the residents of Slag City.
Then, Meng Wei had Chun Tian He gather a few commoners and had them go to the nearby towns, villages, and small towns to promote Trash City and attract more people to settle down.
Of course not. Not just anyone could come and settle down in Trash City. Everyone had to go through an assessment before entering the city.
The only criteria for the assessment was kindness.
No matter how rich or powerful a person was, they would never allow a person who had done so much evil to settle down in Scum City.
Such a person would only be a scourge wherever he went.
It had to be said that after the war against the Tibetan army, the reputation of the people near Zha Zha City was excellent.
It was almost as if Zha Zhacheng was talking about a celestial palace.
Even in Chang 'an City, the story of Zha Zha City defeating the 200,000 Tibetan troops began to spread.
In just a few days, there were already more than 300 families who had moved to Slag City to settle down.
There were 1200 of them.
However, with the current housing in Slag City, it was still able to accommodate all of them. However, the living space for those who were not married was not considered large. Each person could be allocated about 20 square meters of living space.
At this moment, the population of the entire city instantly broke through the requirements for upgrading.
"Ding! The population mission has been completed. The host has received 3000 points!”
"Ding! Number of shops completed. The host has received 3000 points!”
"Ding…Scum City has been upgraded to a Level 2 City! The scale of the city could be expanded by population: 10000 people."
"Ding! The host has obtained 2000 automatic long-barreled rifles, 50 automatic cannons, and 300 city guards!”
