Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 1216 Immigrants from Rest

The ancient kingdom of Parthia, the city of paradise.

Although the good leader Adil was dead, the Red Hand did not attack to the end at that time.

Perhaps it was because the power that instantly destroyed the artificial sun in the sky when Amber opened her eyes was too astonishing... or perhaps it was because Hassan the Flame Fist himself suffered a backlash, the Red Hand chose to retreat after gaining a huge advantage.

There is no doubt that if they continue to attack, the defense of Paradise City will be defeated immediately - with the death of the Good Lord, the river outside the city no longer has a steady flow of water.

The little remaining water became calm and began to slowly drop at a speed visible to the naked eye.

If nothing unexpected happens, the rivers surrounding the oasis will dry up completely in about a week.

The city can hold out longer - Adil built a water tower, which can allow the residents to survive for another month. This is a facility that many benefactors would prepare to "allow themselves to travel far away", but each benefactor has different ideas.

However, it is precisely because Adil left some leeway that the residents of Paradise City now have a chance to survive.

——This is actually the speed at which the water source dries up under normal circumstances when a good master dies.

The reason why all the water in Rock Cellar City was contaminated and solidified by the petrification curse was that there was no water left in the city. This was also the reason why Adil had to use the power of the Amber Egg to curse all the citizens of Rock Cellar City - if Afshin, the benefactor of Rock Cellar City, died for other reasons, the residents of Rock Cellar City would immediately find that their stored water could be used for a long, long time.

Because of what Adil said before his death, the believers of Paradise City really regarded Aiwas as Adil's brother - even though Adil was dead, they did not start a rebellion.

Aiwass naturally took over the temporary command.

Under his command, the residents of Paradise City began to evacuate to Rock Cellar City in an orderly manner.

Of course, the Rock Cellar City cannot accommodate such a large population, as the Paradise City is too big...

So Aiwass wrote directly to Yulia, asking her to prepare to accept this group of immigrants.

People from other places might not agree to immigrate, but the residents of Paradise City, who had been completely brainwashed by Adil, agreed without hesitation. They did not question Aiwass's promise at all, nor did they doubt whether Aiwass wanted to trick them away for sacrifice... or, even if Aiwass wanted to sacrifice them, they probably would not resist.

It just so happens that Xingti is now at a time when its population and talent are the lowest.

Many cities on Star Antimony have become lifeless, due to the killing of residents by the Fallen Angels and the population that fled elsewhere when the goblins caused an economic crisis.

Even if the cities allocated to the Mist Demon were included, there was still a lot of space left. Moreover, the Mist Demon made the cities where he lived too humid, and even began to create various rivers. This strong humidity that the Star Antimony people avoided was exactly the paradise in their dreams that the Parthians longed for, so they could completely banish them to the cities surrounding the Mist Demon.

At the same time, the Parthians can check and balance the fog monsters and complement each other. Moreover, this group of people who are proficient in rituals, curses, poisons and medicines can just make up for the problem of the discontinuity of the Xingti transcendence path.

And the technology level of the free people in Parthia is really good. After all, Parthia is an ancient empire that has been passed down for thousands of years. Although it has been broken several times, the foundation is still here. Although these free people live a life that is not even as good as the feudal society, their technology level and cultural education level are far superior to those of Xingti.

At the same time, the slaves could all have a good job.

The workers at Star Antimony are seriously dissatisfied with the working hours and salary levels, as they have to work fourteen hours a day, six days a week, to support a family of four. After all, at Iris next door, the same type of work can be done by working two hours less a day and one day less on Mondays, and the salary can still be higher than their own. The income level of the workers at Avalon is even lower.

Although after Yulia took over, she has worked hard to increase the national wage level and reduce working hours...but what puzzles her is that even so, no one comes back to work.

Even with the same salary, they would rather live in Iris and Narcissus where the cost of living is higher. Even workers from Avalon have started to leave.

As a result, the economy obviously began to spontaneously concentrate in the Iris region, which was already the richest.

Yulia's staff are good at intrigue and scheme, but few people know how to revitalize the economy. Today, the New Herasl Empire seems to be thriving and prosperous... However, it faces many difficult problems such as extremely uneven development, serious xenophobia and even mutual hatred among regions, lack of space for high-end talents, and extremely sluggish grassroots markets.

This group of immigrants from Parthia can at least greatly alleviate this problem——

Those slaves who were not allowed to eat food that humans could eat, and who did not even have a place to live, and had to live in concentrated underground communities, let alone receive wages... Even if they were given three meals a day, clean new clothes, and well-lit four-person dormitories, it would be enough to make them work wholeheartedly.

Not to mention, their working hours are even less than in Anxi, and one person can easily support a family - they can save money and even send their children to school!

——Perhaps because of the pain she had endured and the loneliness of not being able to go to school, the first thing Yulia implemented after taking office was medical subsidies and compulsory education. Although this would cost money, the legacy of the Helasar Empire alone would be enough for her to burn for decades.

Although the residents of New Hellaslar were also grateful and full of praise for their young empress... they probably could not understand how shocked the Parthians would be.

What? Only ten hours a day?
What? One month's salary can buy three live sheep?

What? Half of the medical expenses can be reimbursed? All expenses are exempted if the length of service is over 30 years?
What? Learning knowledge is free? City libraries are free to enter?
...What? The water here is free?

Although New Herathel is still an emerging capitalist country, and capitalization will obviously become more serious——

However, for the slaves in Paradise City who had just left the slave society, it was difficult for them to survive until the next day. Even eating a bite of meat or drinking a sip of clean water would result in their death...

This is undoubtedly a real paradise.

After they have "money", they can buy all kinds of useful and useless things. Because they have not experienced the economic crisis of going from rich to poor, they even feel that they have enough food and drink and no longer have any necessary needs...

This can in turn revitalize the economic market here.

With this group of people as examples and models, Aiwass can continuously rescue people from Anxi.

He didn't want to help the Good Lord, but he also didn't want to help the Red Hands.

Although the former had an ancient heritage and a glorious mission, they had now completely degenerated into selfish and arrogant beasts. The reason Aiwass didn't kill them all personally was because he was too busy to do so...

The latter are obviously the "Red Gloves" driven by Calamity Red. They constantly instigate and initiate wars, thereby solidifying Calamity Red's newly born and shaky concept of the Tao.

They chose Paradise City, which had the highest happiness level, as their first target instead of other more "evil" city-states. It was obviously not because Paradise City was the most evil; it was precisely because Paradise City was the least evil that they had to kill it first to prevent it from gathering talents from other cities and becoming stronger.

This is no longer "revenge".

Moreover, as the good leaders gradually died, they had to consider more and more how to save the remaining people - the Red Hand Gang was obviously not afraid of this, they even wanted to massacre civilians for fun.

But Aiwass was bound by morality in turn - if Aiwass killed the good people, he had to think about how to protect and settle the remaining people first. Otherwise, he would not kill just one evil good person, but tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of civilians.

Then there would be no difference between him and the Red Hand.

Aiwas originally wanted to popularize underground waterways until the arrival of Yuan Tiansi, and then the water source would be free. But now it seems that this cannot be done...

——Then the best way is to send these people to New Hellasl!
If Aiwas took the initiative to empty these city-states... then he wouldn't need to care about the arrival of Yuan Tiansi!

All tactical converters!
