The next day, the sky in Dawn City was cloudy, and in the blink of an eye, it began to rain heavily, bringing a hint of coolness to the hot summer.Castle of the Lords, offices.Since it was raining outside, Owen didn't want to go out in the rain, so he summoned Clive, the head of the city hall and the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Industry, Geita, and the Minister of Construction, Viru.The three of them hurried and were slightly caught in the rain, but they were fine.Owen listened to Clive's report on the recent situation in Auroville.Thanks to the policy of promoting commerce and trade, the development momentum of Dawn City is still strong, and all kinds of goods produced are sold out of stock through various sales channels, and the financial revenue has increased several times compared with the same period last year.Owen was not surprised by such a gratifying result.After all, there are many commodities that only Dawn City can produce, forming a monopoly position, and the market outside is so large that it is natural that supply exceeds demand.It's just that after the factories in other places are completed and put into operation, Dawn City will lose its monopoly position and will begin to face competition.Healthy competition is a good thing, not only conducive to development, but also for the broad masses of the common people, who can buy industrial commodities at relatively cheap prices.Moreover, whether it is the construction of factories or the production of factories, it can create a large number of jobs, so that many civilians with low incomes can escape the poverty of the past.In addition, Clive referred to the situation of migrants from the south.The southern refugees who had arrived in Dawn City through the relocation program were all well arranged to live in makeshift mud houses.On a voluntary basis, the town hall gave them the option to work in the factory, join the construction team, or find other jobs on their own, trying to ensure that at least one person in each household had a job.Thankfully, there are plenty of jobs in Dawn, and the locals don't feel like the refugees from the south are taking away their jobs.With an income, refugees from the south will be able to secure their basic livelihood in Auroville and integrate into the city more easily.Of course, the influx of refugees from the south into Auroville is sure to cause some problems.The most alarming thing is the issue of racial hatred.Because they have experienced the terrible Southern Rebellion, they have a strong hatred of the subhuman race, so they will inevitably clash with the subhuman race of Dawn City.This has increased the workload of the police, who need to rush in time to stop the conflict and avoid further escalation between the two sides.In order to solve this problem, the town hall has done all kinds of work and carried out a lot of publicity, such as saying that the subhuman race of the Mystery Forest did not participate in the rebellion in the south, don't be angry, etc.As a result, the number of hate incidents has gradually decreased, and the relationship between the two sides has improved slightly."
You're doing the right thing."
Owen nodded in appreciation: "Hatred will only prolong more hatred, and it is the right way to take the initiative to guide and resolve the hatred of the refugees in the south towards the sub-ethnic race, and the two sides can live together in harmony." ”"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."
Clive said as he stroked his chest.Owen then asked, "So, how do you plan to improve the friendship between humans and subhuman races next?"
”"What's next......
Clive thought for a moment and replied, "I'm going to have the Town Hall discuss it with the Alliance of All Races in Mystery City, and we can hold a big event together to strengthen friendship." ”"Hmm......"
Owen touched his chin, "That's a good idea, I approve it." ”Next, it was Viru's turn to report to Owen on the construction of Auroville.Improving roads, building houses, building factories, etc., I won't say much here.When he came back yesterday, Owen had already seen it.Dawn City now has the largest construction team in the Dawnlight Kingdom, and new buildings and roads are being built everywhere, and the whole city is completely new and thriving.It's hard to imagine that two years ago, it was a decaying town, and it has changed so much.Regarding the construction of the first steel bridge over the Weishui River, Viru said that it should be completed by the end of this year.The bridge was built so quickly thanks to earth magicians.Many of them teamed up to cast earth magic, raising a high earthen platform in the river, and then reinforcing it to serve as a support platform for the bridge, speeding up the construction.In addition, the two wide avenues from Dawn City to Dongsheng Fortress and Laifeng Port have been repaired, both of which are high-standard cement roads, making it easier to travel between the three places.Today, there is a steady stream of merchants who come to Dawn City by land to conduct trade, far more than by water.This is the inevitable result, a cargo ship is very expensive, ordinary merchants generally cannot afford it, and the carriage used to carry goods is the best choice for most merchants.In addition, the construction of sewers, water pipes, heating systems, and power grids are all being built in accordance with the requirements of the five-year plan."
Hmm."
Owen nodded in satisfaction, "Well done." ”"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Viru stroked his chest.Dawn City has invested the most in the field of infrastructure construction, and has reaped the most results, and people's livelihood has been greatly improved.As the Minister of Construction, Viru is able to do a good job in the engineering projects he is responsible for, and at the same time, coordinate different construction teams, which can be described as a huge contribution."
That's right, Viru."
Thinking of the water supply pipe, Owen asked: "I said in the wireless phone before that I plan to build a water supply pipeline on the side of the Red Sand Fortress to solve the water problem over there, and have you ordered the craftsmen you assigned to set off?"
”"Back to Your Majesty.""
We've already set off, on a cement steamboat with a water supply pipe and a pumping steam engine." ”"That's good."
When he arrives at Harvest City, Baron Kevin will go to receive the craftsman, and Owen doesn't have to worry about anything.Finally, it was Git who reported to Owen about the situation at the factory.The plants are operating well and capacity continues to expand.During Owen's expedition, there were a total of three accidents caused by machine failures, all caused by improper human operation, resulting in a total of six injuries, one of whom was severely burned.Fortunately, these people were treated in time and their lives were saved.After listening to the report, Owen gave instructions: "In the near future, find a time to conduct safety training for all workers who operate the machine, and clearly tell them what they can do and what they must not do, so as to avoid similar accidents from happening again." ”"Yes."
Geeta nodded, "I'll inform the heads of the various factories." ”"What are your arrangements for the badly scalded worker?"
Owen asked.Geeta replied: "After being burned, the worker developed a great fear of the steam engine and did not dare to approach it easily, so I arranged for him to go to a position where it was easier to live away from the machine. ”"Well, that's fine."
Owen said.
