Every time I come home, my wife is making garbage

Chapter 225 Considerate
Early morning, sunset town.

The workers in the beet production workshop are getting ready to go to work.

The western half of the town was a cleaned-up neighborhood and the neat board houses of the beet factory. On the other side were the ruins that were burned down by the Church of Light last time, and they had not yet been rebuilt.

The whole town was like ice and fire.

The workers looked at the ruins and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: their lives were already poor and they were almost unable to survive, but they didn't expect that the arrival of Zhang Jingyi and Ace would bring them new jobs and hope of survival.

The Holy See of Light wrote for them what destruction is.

And Zhang Jingyi wrote for them what rebirth is.

"Okay, let's work hard today as well."

A group of workers walked towards the workshop. At this moment, several clockwork carriages drove over from the west of the town. The dwarves driving the carriages shouted, "Be careful, be careful! The people in front, get out of the way. I won't pay if you kill them."

The workers were startled and quickly moved to the sides.

However, although the dwarf said something unpleasant, the car did not actually rush forward. It drove in front of the crowd and stopped. The dwarf jumped under the car with a clumsy move and fell flat on his face.

Well, dwarves aren't naturally good at jumping.

Fortunately, he was strong and was not hurt after the fall. He got up from the ground, patted his butt, and found that he was still intact.

Another head popped up from the car. It was Zhang Jingyi.

When the workers saw him, they couldn't help but be stunned. Mr. Zhang usually came by opening the portal or driving his magic-powered pickup truck. Why did he come in the dwarf's broken car today?

This is what they don't know. Modern people are very showy. Even though they have advanced high-speed railways, they still deliberately ride those very backward old green trains and shabby sightseeing buses, and stroll around ancient towns, just for fun.

Zhang Jingyi was just having fun. He jumped off the clockwork carriage and gave the dwarf a thumbs up. "This car is great. Except that you need to get off the carriage to wind up the spring every time you travel a certain distance, everything else is perfect. The most important thing is that there is no carriage. It is a pure convertible. It feels great to travel around the western forest in a convertible."

The dwarf was quite proud of his compliment, his nose pointed to the sky: "Hahaha, the craftsmanship of us dwarves is not exaggerated."

However, just as he finished feeling proud, he remembered that the core of this clockwork carriage was the "clockwork steel" provided to them by Zhang Jingyi. Without the clockwork steel, no matter how powerful the dwarves' craftsmanship was, they would not be able to build a clockwork carriage. He could not brag about this anymore and was immediately embarrassed.

Zhang Jingyi didn't laugh at him. He thought it was normal for men to brag, so he didn't mind. He smiled and walked towards the workers: "Hello everyone, are you used to working in the beet workshop?"

The workers quickly saluted: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, you have brought us a new life."

At this moment, another person jumped down from another clockwork carriage. He was wearing a black priest robe. It was Father Ace.

He smiled and waved at the workers: "Die scum! Die scum!"

The workers quickly responded: "Die! Die!"

Ace said, "Today is your payday. I should have been the one to pay you, but... ahem... I don't have much money. I planted my beet fields with farm tools, seeds, and fertilizers that I borrowed on credit from Mr. Zhang. I also borrowed money on credit from Mr. Zhang to build the workshop. I used all the sugar you produced recently to repay the debts I owed you for your initial investment. So... I can't pay you, so I have to ask Mr. Zhang to help pay you."

Workers: “…”

This is outrageous! After all this time, you, the priest, have nothing to show for it. Are you trying to get something for nothing?

Ace scratched his head awkwardly: "In a few months, I will pay off the money I owe Mr. Zhang, and then I will be the one to pay the wages." Workers: "..."

Zhang Jingyi smiled and took over the conversation: "Everyone, regarding the payment of your wages, I have thought about it and decided to use a mixture of copper coins and grain."

When he said this, the workers exclaimed "Huh".

Zhang Jingyi: "Sunset Town was burned down, and there is no industry here. If I just give you money, you can't buy anything with money, so I decided to divide the wages into two parts, one part is copper coins, and the other part is directly given to you as wheat flour."

The workers were delighted: “Wow!”

Food is really a problem for them.

After Sunset Town was burned down, their lives became difficult. Those who had some hunting skills could still hunt, but most people did not, so they could only eat tree bark and grass roots, or cut some water grass from the shallow river bottom and cook them.

It is not very pleasant to eat like this, especially when cutting water weeds. It is very dangerous and getting entangled can be fatal if you are not careful.

They were quite touched by Zhang Jingyi's thoughtful consideration for them.

My noble lords, when will you consider such small details for the lower classes?
They thought that after receiving the wages from the workshop, they would have to wait for the goblin merchants to pass through Sunset Town before they could use the money. However, they did not expect that Zhang Jingyi had already thought of it for them.

Zhang Jingyi continued, "By the way, I also brought some cloth here. Father Ace will arrange for someone to open a cloth store in Sunset Town, so that everyone's clothing needs can be solved. After these four major issues of clothing, food, housing, and transportation are solved, everyone can truly settle down in Sunset Town."

The workers were overjoyed: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang!"

Ace: "Don't forget to thank the Dark Lord."

Workers: "Damn it..."

After the important matters were explained, Ace directed the workers to move the goods and unload the grain and cloth from the cart. A large bag of copper coins was also brought on the cart to pay the workers' wages.

This wave of wages came in the form of copper coins and wheat flour. The workers happily divided the wages among themselves and shouted with joy.

At this moment, a worker slowly approached Zhang Jingyi and asked in a somewhat furtive tone: "Mr. Zhang, I have a question..."

Zhang Jingyi asked curiously, "Why do you have such a weird expression? This isn't a spy meeting."

The worker smiled awkwardly: "I was a little afraid of getting beaten for asking the question."

Zhang Jingyi: "Haha, don't be afraid, just ask."

The worker said, "Um... I see you have a lot of wheat. Is that because Gilneas has a good harvest?"

Zhang Jingyi nodded: "Yes, it's a good harvest, a lot."

Worker: "Then I'm not afraid of being beaten. I'm good at brewing wheat beer. I didn't dare to say it before. When food was scarce, I would really be beaten if I said I brewed beer. But if there is a good harvest, I will..."

Zhang Jingyi understood: "Want to go back to your old job and become a winemaker?"
