Chapter 288 Pain and Pleasure(1/2)
Wangcheng Government Affairs Office.
This is the highest administrative center of Trollian, where consuls of all sizes are responsible for all matters other than combat.
They may not seem that important, but they are actually the cornerstone of Trorian's existence.
Only a complete and powerful human society can afford so many strong human beings and super war weapons.
Center Hall.
The two chief consuls and thirty-two senior consuls gathered together.
Except for one who looked a little gloomy, everyone was in high spirits.
"It's so powerful! Fanxing Town is simply a classic in operation and construction!"
"As a defender and leader, Lord Rhodes should be remembered for his first contribution!"
"Fanxing Town has accommodated 900,000 people for us! The entire outer city has become better!"
"Not enough, not enough, Fanxing Town can accommodate another million people!"
"Your news is behind! They conquered Blackwater Swamp and Yin Soen Ruins. Look at their size! They can accommodate another three million!"
With a bang, the whole hall seemed to be on fire, and everyone's eyes were red.
Especially the governors of the royal city.
Because Fanxing Town has always accepted the residents of the Royal City.
A senior consul shouted: "No! I protest! You are unfair, you can't just give the royal city, other towns should also share the quota!"
"Yes, we are too crowded! Public security has deteriorated, and doomsday cultists are popping up like cockroaches! Thousands of people have died in Stone City because of the lack of housing!"
"So do we!"
Chief Executive Mandalay raised his hands and said loudly: "Don't make any noise, we will allocate the quota reasonably! Everyone has a share!"
Chief Executive Tallinas said slightly gloomily: "In this case, there will not be many places for each town."
A senior governor shouted: "Can there be more in Fanxing Town? We heard that they have opened up farmland, plantations, breeding lakes, and countless mines. Many poor people cannot find jobs here.
And Fanxing Town is full of jobs."
"Yes, isn't this the most reasonable distribution? The unstable factors that only consume food have become workers with valuable output!"
"This will skyrocket our performance this year! The overall order and stability factors will also be greatly improved! Trorian's total output value will reach a new level."
Chief Consul Mandalay said with some embarrassment: "But Lord Rhodes said that three million people is the limit."
"How could it be the limit? Go talk to Lord Rhodes again!"
Chief Consul Mandalay regretted: "He refused!"
"How can this work? Why would he refuse? Did you offend him?"
"Quick, let's repair the relationship quickly, this is related to our performance this year!"
"What does Lord Rhodes like?"
"It is said that he likes beautiful women."
"Just... is it that simple? I'll give you a hundred first! No more, just give me a quota of 100,000."
"Bah, look at how poor you are, who is Mr. Rhodes? If I were not a man, I would give him away for free. I will give you a thousand, and give me a quota of 100,000."
"I'll give away 10,000!"
"I send..."
"Shut up!"
Chief Consul Mandalay shouted, suppressing the surging sound.
"Do you think Lord Rhodes is a breeding pig? He even gave it away, as if it were your property. If you go back to the city and shout, others will still give you money, and you will take it from both inside and outside. You have a good idea!"<
/p>
The consuls' faces turned red when their little thoughts were revealed.
Judging from Rhode's current achievements and status, becoming his partner is simply a dream. If you have this channel, you can sell a spot for 10,000 silver cords.
If you can give away 10,000 pieces, you will get 100 million silver cords.
Of course, this business was over before it even started.
"What now?"
a senior consul asked cautiously.
"The problem of living space has become our number one problem. We don't have enough phlogiston, not enough houses, not enough spiritual lanterns, not enough jobs, nothing is enough. Fanxing Town has the obligation to accommodate more."
p>
Another high-ranking consul suddenly asked: "What is going on in the City of Stars? Hasn't the Conquest Legion captured it yet?"
Chief Consul Manderly replied: "No, they are still fighting the darkness underground."
"What on earth is Master Lockhart doing?" A high-ranking consul couldn't help complaining: "Star City has been under attack for almost half a year, and it's still uninhabitable? What did you say at the beginning?"
"Why is Lord Lockhart such a rubbish? This man is really incomparable. It's better to let Lord Rhodes do it."
"Yes! I agree!"
"We will propose to the Supreme Council now!"
"Shut up!"
Chief Consul Mandalay shouted: "Are you able to interfere with the appointment of the army commander? Stop talking to me. Now there are three million quotas. You can divide it among yourself!"
"I don't want to be old anyway. I will go to Fanxing Town to find Lord Rhodes in person. I will kneel down and beg for one million more! No matter how much Fanxing Town is bombed, no one can finish it!"
He threw down his sleeves and walked out.
Everyone was left looking at each other in shock.
After a moment of silence, they suddenly realized that the three million red spots were right in front of them.
For a moment, everyone's breathing became heavy.
After a while, there was a fight in the hall.
The consuls are in perfect harmony, they have never been so close.
——
Fanxing Town.
Upper lobby of the Administration Hall.
This is an office space that belongs exclusively to Rhodes. The spacious room is filled with classical decorations from the Starry Kingdom of 1,500 years ago. The strong historical atmosphere makes everyone who enters here breathless.
In the center of the room was a heavy mahogany sunken table. Rhodes sat in the big chair, feeling very embarrassed.
Chief Consul Mandalay was sitting in front of him, the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together, and his eyes were full of pleading.
"Well, Lord Mandalay, it's not that I won't help..."
Mandalay jumped up: "I have six granddaughters, and they all admire me very much..."

"Okay, okay!"
Rhodes stopped him immediately.
"Listen to me, there are currently 900,000 people in Fanxing Town. If we recruit another 4 million people, the town will have close to 5 million people."
"Five million people are not many... I have calculated that the area of Fanxing Town plus the surrounding area has exceeded 5,000 square meters. On average, one thousand people can live in one square thousand yards, which is not a problem at all.
."
Rhodes sighed: "Mr. Mandalay, you have to know that part of the land is mines, farmland, botanical gardens and aquaculture areas, and part of it is used to build defenses."
But Mandalay has obviously been prepared.
"Sir Rhodes, don't forget that the underground city to the east can accommodate half a million people after installing the automatic psychic elevator you invented."
Rhodes frowned and said: "Such a depressing and cramped environment is not suitable for long-term living."
Mandalay smiled: "Sir Rhodes, this is where your experience is lacking. The underground city environment will give people an unprecedented sense of security. Believe me, many residents like this environment very much."
p>
Rhodes is in great pain. It's not that he doesn't want to accept it, but now he has a lot of troubles, and the younger brother can't stand it.
"Mr. Mandalay, civilians cannot rely on me alone for relief, they must have jobs."
"Currently, there are only two mines in my hands. The super-large true silver vein under Fanxing Town, and the star ruby vein under Blackwater Swamp. The 600,000 miners are already at full capacity."
"Ghost Lake and Blackwater Swamp can only accommodate 300,000 farmers and breeding workers. Plus hundreds of thousands of construction workers and related derivative industries, feeding three to four million people is already the limit. If there are more people,
They can only become beggars and prostitutes."
Mandalay frowned, Rhodes' words came to a crucial point.
