"Wasteland OL" official website.

The forum is as lively as ever.

This place has become the most well-informed information distribution center in the entire wasteland. Although the scale is not as large as the end point cloud of Ideal City, the territory spanning two worlds is that the latter can't catch up even if he rides a warp spacecraft.

No family: Big news!A new "shadow port" is added to the southern border of Jingalun Port and Xilan Empire!The key landmark of the ‘Abandoned Boats’ Hotel, the abandoned cargo ship stranded on the beach is!Having a conversation with the bartender can trigger a smuggling mission!All Xilan coins that cannot be used can be used there!

The flying pig: 666!

Laigen spicy strips: Boss!Are there any rating requirements?(color)

No family: No!Just be careful about your waist!If you are worried, you can bring two power animals. Of course, one can of our Burning Corps is enough!(Growned teeth)

No family: Ah!By the way, people from the Empire will go there at night, and friends who are interested in smuggling try to go during the day!Or train a few NPC agents to go for you!

Shortly after the post was posted.

Professional players who are active in the area of ​​Golden Gallon Port flocked in, and built hundreds of floors of the post in just over a dozen minutes.

Lao Bai, who was confused by Fang Chang's riddle for a long time, finally saw the post and couldn't help but complain back to the cattle and horse herd.

...Damn, it turns out that's all.

Fang Chang: Have you finally discovered it?(Smile with your eyes)

Lao Bai: But by the way, smuggling doesn’t need to be taken care of?

Fang Chang: It depends on what kind of goods it is. The crops in Jinjialun Port are mainly cash crops, and these things cannot be eaten as food.At this stage, all the goods that locals need, and the goods we need. If you lose a little tax, you can export the accumulated inflation to Xilan, which is acceptable to the new authorities of Jinjialun Port.

In the market model of the classical era, the flow of inflation and money are the same as the flow of goods.

The reason why the alliance can spread inflation to all its allies is largely because silver coins flowed from the managers into other people's pockets.

And the alliance's allies are willing to pay for this insignificant price for some greater benefit.

This is not even just inside the game, but outside the game. The participants in the Bank Exchange are not only players, but also some cloud players who follow the trend.

The exchange ratio between silver coins and other currencies also reflects a similar supply and demand relationship.

Every auction can cause the price of silver coins to fluctuate significantly, and it can be clearly seen that this supply and demand relationship is reflected in the items at the auction.

The same is true for Jinjialun Port. Not only does the money exist in the vault of the Emperor of Xilan Empire, but also a large number of nobles and private banks are preparing to take away the Xilan coins in their hands.

And shadow ports like Jiaotou Bay provide them with a channel.

The people on the other side collected Xilan coins, which could provide them with goods that were piled up in the empire but were urgently needed by Jin Jialun Port.

And they can use these goods to exchange new gallons of money pegged to silver coins from workers, factories, shop owners and others.

Emperor Xilan thought that the embargo would collapse the Port of Jinjialun, but he might have forgotten that the effects of force are mutual.

There are too many villages, settlements and even noble manors around Jingalun Port, and Jingalun Port needs to digest the mountain-stacked and single-variety goods.

What Jin Jialun Port is facing is only inflation of Xilan currency, so what they face is more serious deflation.

If they cannot sell the mountain of goods, they can only pour them into the Yongliu River. In order not to let this happen, the local nobles will definitely try their best to open up the import and export channels of the border, whether they are buying the border troops or using their authority to exert pressure.

The embargo was announced when the royal authority had been damaged by the defeat of the Gray Wolf Army. To a large extent, the Majesty did something that hurt the enemy by 1,000 and 10,000.

Once a new interest group is formed in the local area, the two armies on the border may become warlords who will not accept the orders of the outside king.

If this game is that real.

Fang Chang: ...The Jiao Tou Bay should have emerged. In fact, some people were doing this business during the ceasefire just now.According to my observation, several of the most lively water drift ports are mainly along the northwest coast of the Yongliu River, which are mainly areas actually controlled by the Black Panther Army. At night, the Yongliu River is filled with water-moving boats.

Fang Chang: Some nobles from Jinjialun Port sent the Xilan coins in their hands there to exchange them for cargo such as double-headed cows, sugar, gravel, flax, spices, etc., but the transportation capacity of the inland port is limited. If Jiaotou Bay can develop, it may be possible for us to dump Xilan coins faster.

Qianfeng: Wait until your Xilan coins are spent?(curious)

Fang Chang: By then, the reconstruction of Jinjialun Port was almost completed, and the survivors of the Xilan Empire would be interested in things other than waste paper.

Ye Shi: MMP, I would have been with you if I had known it.(funny)

Lao Bai: By the way, you are still in Dawn City?

Ye Shi: I haven’t stayed there any longer. As soon as the archives of Binghai City were opened, Qianfeng and I passed by.

Qianfeng: To be precise, there are also the college NPC named Jiang Xuezhou and Jiujiu.(Smile with your eyes)

Fang Chang: We are really a thousand miles apart.(Laughing and crying)

Ye Shi: A small problem, at least on one planet.(funny)

Strong wind: +1.

……

There may be a vacuum in order, but there is one thing that won't.

That is power.

Once a vacancy occurs, new ones will be filled immediately.

Good or bad.

Even if there is only a moment of gap...

On the second day after the first investment promotion dinner in Jingalun Port came to an end, the entrance of Jingalun Port City Hall was filled with people.

The man in the exoskeleton walked to the door, turned on the speakers of his helmet and shouted at the crowded crowd.

Everyone, be quiet, don't squeeze.

Our rules here are that bids do not follow the order of order. The entry qualifications, review standards, procedures, etc. have been posted on the notice board. After reading it, go to the door to get the number and wait for the number to be called to enter. Any interested individual or group can participate!Anyone!

At this time, someone shouted quickly on the periphery of the crowd.

master!Can the pigeon tribe?

I said, anyone!Half a year old wasted. I looked at the surging crowd and shouted, "Also, don't call us master!"The league doesn't have that thing!

The crowd crowded at the entrance of the city hall suddenly burst into warm applause and cheers. Some people looked unhappy, but for the sake of money, they could only bear it.

Looking at the young man who was grateful to him, he smiled and waved his hand, but then he suddenly came to his senses.

etc.

Is this guy a pigeon?

……

In just one day, nearly 200 bid documents were received for 37 infrastructure construction projects, and most of them were from Silver Moon Bay and professional players who were active in the area of ​​Golden Gallon Port.

It took three days to work such as back-regulation and capital verification.

During these three days, Fang Chang found more than a dozen players who had worked in municipal departments or had administrative work in large enterprises from the Burning Corps and players who were active in nearby areas. While guiding the 200 newly recruited civil servants from the Golden Gallon Port City Hall to familiarize themselves with the business, he completed the review of the more than 200 bid documents.

Excluding more than 100 companies and individuals with unqualified qualifications or serious false concealment, a total of 22 infrastructure projects were found in total.

Most of the remaining fifteen projects are heavy asset projects, such as the reconstruction of main roads and highways, the construction of port freight railways and civil railways, etc.

Without a certain strength, even if you are jealous of the considerable subsequent benefits behind it, you can't eat it.

Although the Bank of Jingalun Port does not fully implement a 100% reserve system, and issuing 10 gallons does not require real preparation of 1 silver coin, it is not easy to deviate from the reserves of silver coin, otherwise it will cause systemic financial risks.

The method of printing money and lending it to the contractor, forcing the thin man to feed the fat man into one bite will not work here.

The fragile economic conditions in the local area have no basis for spending money in this life, and the survivors who are already consuming soil cannot suffer any more.

So, Fang Chang, the chief CEO of Baiyue Company, organized a discussion group at the forum and convened all the shareholders of Baiyue Company to hold a shareholders' meeting. After explaining the project situation, he voted and finally decided that Baiyue Company would invest in these 15 heavy asset projects.

This approach is actually the same as when Shuguang City was engaged in infrastructure construction.

That is, the powerful shelter collectively held company will chew off the hardest and most chewed bones that have to be gnawed off. After the cake becomes bigger, the manager will take action and slowly distribute the cake to other local survivors, so that the latter can also eat as much as possible.

The Niuma Groups that have grown into giants follow the alliance's army or caravan and go out of the alliance's territory to create new profit growth points on the wider wasteland, such as the Ideal City, Luoxia Province, the Rock City before the change, and even the Liberty State that was not in good relationships and the Falcon Kingdom.

In fact, both French Fries Port and Golden Gallon Port are products under the guidance of this model, but the strategies implemented by players in the two places vary greatly due to different specific circumstances.

After all 37 infrastructure projects in Jinjialun Port are completed, the port's total economic output will even exceed Silver Moon Bay and become a new trade hub on the Bharat Sea.

After all, Yinyue Bay is only a kingdom with a population of one million, but this place itself is a settlement of one million people, and behind it is a feudal dynasty known as a tribe and a thousand gods.

In this sense, the 37 infrastructure projects underway in Kinggalun Port and hundreds of spontaneous private projects large and small are just as important as the ongoing port and subsea pipeline construction projects underway in French Fries Port for alliances that are trying to unite survivors on the wasteland.

The latter is a visible bond.

The former is invisible, but it really exists...

……

The June sky is like a child's face. The port was still cloudy the previous second, and the next second, the vicious sun was hanging in the sky.

Just now, the entire port was as hot as noon, and even the seagulls surrounding the mast let out a smirk of heat.

Paru, who was on duty, yawned and was about to walk to the bottom of the duty booth to stand for a while.

It seemed like the same time last time, and it might have been a little earlier.

Standing here, he just yawned. As soon as he opened his eyes, he beat the Governor and His Majesty the Emperor here. The scathing Mandal directly became a police officer in the port area. The original sheriff was even more amazing than Harry, and he became a sheriff in the entire settlement.

Sheriff.

It is undoubtedly a new word for Golden Gallon Port.

After all, as we all know, except for the real guards in the port area, there are not even patrol guys in other places. It is not that there is a murder case or that the nobles' kittens and dogs are lost, and even if they report to the official, no one will care.

The girls from rich families will not walk into the alleys at all, and the population of those poor families has been changing. Counting how many people each family is this year and how many people will be next year. How do the dead people die? It is purely thankless work.

They are like grass growing on red soil, and the spring breeze blows one after another. Now there are finally a group of guys who treat them as human beings, which is really cheap for them.

Palu felt that this was somewhat of a credit to his yawn.

After all, if he had not been lazy, the city defense army might have discovered that a group of ferocious guys landed in the port earlier, and General Alayan from the Gray Wolf Army would not have suffered the defeat outside the city.

It would be great if you yawn again, you could kill the alliance. After all, being slapped with a group of snakes, rats, insects, and birds is very annoying.

He just wants those arrogant men who are usually arrogant and call him politely, and he doesn't want to be equal with those inferior people who are born lowly.

For example, in the past, he could teach the servants a lesson with the butt, but now if he takes action, he can't tell the reason, and the iron men will greet his dear Sheriff Mandal, and the latter will have ten thousand ways to make him suffer.

It won't work even if it's bad.

Those iron men are very smart. They never look for them, they only look for their bosses, and they directly pinch their key heads.

It is precisely because of this that although he has no feelings for this position, he still has to act like he enforcing the law impartially.

Fortunately, the port is as peaceful as ever today. The construction site is dusty and people come and go on the road. The busy people have no time to make trouble.

Whether it was the merchants shuttled on the dock or the workers who carried boxes between the warehouse area and the dock, they racked their brains and worked hard to make them more than two gallons in their pockets.

Even the seagulls flying in the sky were busy snatching the chips from the iron men and the bears they raised.

If he hadn't recalled carefully, he would have forgotten what happened here more than a month ago...

At this moment, a ding-tone sound came from outside the duty booth, and a bicycle with a police sign suddenly braked at the door.

A man in a police uniform swung his legs and turned over and got out of the car. A young man in a police uniform pushed the door and stepped into the duty booth, stuffing a thick briefcase into Palu's arms, who was yawning.

Please send this item to the branch north of Knights Road, the one next to the station, and they are in a hurry to use it.

Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, Palu couldn't help asking.

Why am I going?

The young man's name is Bashak, which gives him a bit of a Yorkie, and is a newly recruited guard recently.

Although his colleagues at the Guard Bureau had a good view of him, not only warm-hearted, but also quick-witted and serious in doing things, I honestly want to be honest with Palu not very much like this guy from the Rat.

One of the reasons is naturally because of this guy's identity, and the second is that this guy is a bit too enthusiastic about this new job and has no majesty as a guard at all.

Are you just so anxious to get praise from those iron people?

You are about to get off night shift, and your house lives there, so I can help me take it. The rat man smiled and folded his hands together. Please, please, I will bring you breakfast tomorrow!

……

Although Palu rolled her eyes speechlessly, she thought of getting off work early and having free breakfast, so she reached out to take the file bag with a seal and stepped out of the door.

He shouted as he looked at Palu who was walking away with his legs spread out.

Don't you ride a bike?

I don't know how to ride that thing.Palu snorted with her nose, feeling that the boy was showing him the benefits he had obtained from the Iron Man, and his voice couldn't help but feel a little unpleasant.

What awesome.

That bike is not yours!

But Bashak didn't care and said with a hearty smile.

This thing is quite convenient. It is said that the guards of Shuguang City also ride this thing, with one more battery than us!If you have time another day, I can teach you!If someone teaches you, you won’t be afraid of falling.

No need.

Palu turned his back to him, waved the file bag in his hand impatiently, and quickly left the street.

Everything here is changing.

Whether it is something on the street or people on the street, when they wake up by chance, they always feel like they are left behind by everyone.

In the past, Tulip Street lived with nobles and ladies in long skirts and dresses, but now even the annoying mice are mixed in.

It's called Ah Xin, that family over there.

Palu looked at the mansion that once belonged to the Willant people not far away, and unconsciously brought a hint of disgust and disgust in his eyes, as if he was watching a piece of cake bitten by a mouse.

The Willant people earned their property by hard work and courage was robbed by a rat who was stealing and stealing. I really don't know what's good about this so-called order.

If there were any choices, he would definitely be more willing to return to the era of Governor Nihak, when people were much more polite than they are now...

Speeding up and leaving the already depraved Tulip One Street, Palu soon passed the Knights that separate the rich from the poor.

It was a ring road around Tulip Street.

The City Defense Forces, which were loyal to the Governor, had a bloody battle here, but now there are no traces of the battle here.

The houses covered with bullet holes and the streets that were blown up by shells were all demolished.

Recently, the alliance has been building a large-scale project here, not only demolishing the bombed roads, but also turning over the roadbeds along the roadbed, causing several nearby streets to be soaked in dust all day long.

The guard branch near the station construction site that Bashak mentioned was nearby.

As he walked over there, Palu glanced at the pit surrounded by the isolation belt and saw several shirtless workers carrying thick and heavy wood on the ground.

He had seen that kind of wood in the port reservoir area. It seemed that the cargo ship rented by Baiyue Company was pulled from the French Fries Port.

This kind of thing had never been imported in the Port of Jingalun before, and he didn't know what the purpose of these workers' shops was, so he cleared his throat and shouted in an accent.

What are you doing?

The busy worker ignored him and could not hear his voice in the sound of clanging.

The workers who had just gotten off work and were resting, looked up and saw the police uniform on him. They thought they were here to investigate, so they explained.

Yes, this is the Alliance’s construction site, and we have a construction permit.

The expression of respect and fear made Palu look a little comfortable on his face. He nodded his head in a pretentious manner and continued.

Cough yes!Just have permission... You have to prepare the Iron Man construction site. Don’t be fooled. We caught you and you will have good fruits!

Although he doesn't like the alliance, he never dares to come to the alliance's construction site to find fault.

Several men showed innocent expressions when they heard this.

How dare we? Police Officer Ah.

It's Ah, the foreman is in strict supervision!

And let alone being lazy... We can't do it even if we want to work for a while. Each class can only work for ten hours a day. Not only will the performance and wages be counted on the next shift, but we will also be punished!

Palu was stunned for a moment, not understanding why he would be punished if he worked more.

But he didn't ask in detail, but just coughed and asked another thing he was even more curious about.

What are you practicing?

railway!A worker replied with a smile.

Palu was stunned for a moment.

railway?What are you doing when repairing that thing?

Several workers looked at each other, not knowing how to answer, but one of them looked at the clever young man and shouted with an idea.

Make the port more modern.

modernization?Palu murmured to himself, I have never heard of this word.

Coincidentally, we don’t know that it’s all those iron people talking about it!Anyway, just know that this thing can transport things!

The young man just finished speaking with a smile, and someone next to him continued, saying, "I haven't heard that it doesn't matter, I can make money anyway!"

Paru couldn't help asking.

Where are you going to pull the goods?

A tanned worker replied.

Those who buried underground are recruiting people, and those who circumvent the port are transporting goods. There are other construction teams who are repairing it. They are not the same project as us. You have to ask them where to take the goods.

Pull people?!Palu widened his eyes, his eyes filled with incredible feelings. Just these few wooden sticks could pull people away.

Seeing his shocked appearance, the young man said with a smile.

right!I heard that the car is running very fast on the tracks, and people living in the suburbs can also come to the port area to work!

Palu opened her mouth and couldn't help but continue asking.

Then... how much is it to pay?How much wages do Iron Man give you a month?

Speaking of the wages given, the dark-skinned worker grinned at the corner of his mouth and said with a smug expression.

2200 gallons!

2200 gallons?!

Hearing this number, Palu was shocked again and secretly calculated in his heart.

Isn't this...

Can I exchange for fifty-five kilograms of corn?!

Recently, many citizens of Jingalun Port have learned the skills of cooking corn and cornmeal from Iron Man. Imitating the diet of those Iron Man has also become a new fashion for the citizens of this settlement. The price of corn has also increased from the initial one gallon to one liang to one liang.

It's equivalent to 20 gallons per kilogram.

But if you buy coarse grains such as black beans or chickpeas transported from water, it only costs about 8 gallons per catty!

As for Xilan coins, they rarely appear in stalls that citizens often go to. It is said that only some big shots can use their business.

Palu couldn't calculate how many kilograms of beans he could exchange for 2,200 gallons, but he only had 1,800 gallons a month.

The income of these coolies is even higher than that of him!

Why are there so many!?I remember the recruitment... wasn't it written for 1600 gallons?Palu couldn't help asking jealously.

The workers said with a smile again.

That's the basic salary!In addition to the basic salary, we also received a 600 gallon bonus last month!

The foreman told us that as long as we do things quickly and well, we can even get as much bonus as our salary!

I'm fine, do you still have to take a break?

Let's go back together...I'll go buy some steamed buns later.

I'll buy some fried beans along the way.

Where did you get the wine?!

Hehe, I'll tell you quietly that those iron men have never finished drinking...

The group of people seemed to have had enough rest, so they climbed up from the pit along the ladder and returned the work hat to the shelf beside them.

Paru looked at them blankly, as if he saw something different from the sweaty young men, but he couldn't tell what was going on.

There were many people working as coolies in the past, but he had never seen anyone laugh after finishing his work.

No

To be precise, he had never seen those slaves finish their work, and he had never seen them have the chance to consider what to eat after they got off work.

perhaps……

This world has really changed.

Palu left with a worried look on his face, went to the Port Guard Bureau branch next to him, and found the branch director here under the reminder of his colleague.

Knocking on the office door, he walked in and was glad to see the branch director sitting there about the same age as him, and he was in his thirties.

Moreover, the lighter skin color is obviously a citizen who is rarely exposed to wind and rain. His well-educated temperament is more like a decent cultural person.

Palu subconsciously took some humility, slowed down his pace to enter the door, and handed out the file bag in his hand with a friendly smile.

It was Bashak who brought me.

The director glanced at him and said in surprise.

So fast?

As he said that, he quickly reached out to take the file bag from Paru's hand, tore open the seal and took out a thick stack of documents inside, and took it in his hand and read it roughly.

After a moment, he nodded with praise.

Yes, I will thank that boy for me after looking back. I will write a letter to your branch for his cooperation.

Although he was a little jealous, Palu still squeezed out a smile and nodded from his face.

I will tell you.

Speaking of this, he paused again and couldn't help but ask more.

By the way, Director, can I ask...What is this paper?

The director picked up the cup and drank a sip of tea, moistening his voice, and said concisely.

Household registration documents.

Palu was stunned.

Household registration?

That's right, it's up to those Iron Man's request.Recently, many refugees have swam over from the Yongliu River. According to them, there has been a famine in several nearby villages.The Governor's Office requires us to create an identity authentication system for local residents as soon as possible, at least register their names, age, gender, probably the streets they live in... The people living in your port area are all people with status. We are in trouble here, with shacks everywhere, and some guys working in the port haven't come home for several days. Thank you for your cooperation.

As he said that, the branch director sitting at the desk pinched his eyebrows with some headaches. It was obvious that he had been worried about this matter a lot during this period.

Palu was stunned after hearing this.

He did hear a little news that the Governor's Office planned to send an ID card to the residents of Jin Jialun Port.

At that time, he was still glad that these iron men finally planned to do something real good, such as completely distinguishing the rat people from the crowd for them, but he didn't expect that these things were the only things registered.

Just... register these?Palu couldn't help asking, looking at the branch director with hope, hoping to hear something from him like he almost forgot or remembered.

However, to his disappointment, the man just looked at him blankly.

That's all, is there anything else?

Nothing... Palu suddenly felt a little lost and turned around and left the office in a confused look.

He was actually quite looking forward to the one who could draw a horse on the certificate.

Although the horse race is not a particularly noble ethnic group, it is much better than those snakes, rats, insects and birds...

Palu, who left the police station, dragged his tired body towards the direction of home. The rising sun made his neck and back feel hot.

He muttered the curse of the mouse that stole his time home. He unconsciously accelerated his pace, and fortunately he went back before the street became hot.

However, just as he stepped over the door of his house, the bell at 8 o'clock came from the direction of the port, which shocked a seagull lying on the eaves.

Palu's old face turned red involuntarily.

It was not until this time that he realized that he had arrived at home much earlier than usual...

……

Just as the sun was golden on the Golden Gallon Port at around 8 o'clock, the sky on the west coast of Bharat Province was still a hazy glimmer.

A towering giant cargo ship is slowly approaching the newly built concrete pier, and connected to the pier is a shack growing densely on the yellow soil like moss.

A man in a well-decorated military uniform was standing on the deck, looking at the harbor bathed in the morning light in front of him with a smile.

Xifan Port, Xifan City, and even the fertile and rich state of Nasit adjacent to it... Everything here is our trophy, and it is also your father Mr. Bennott's trophy. Pick a better angle and take a picture of it. Remember to let the morning light just sprinkle on our bow, and I like the sparkling feeling.

Panni, who was standing behind him, sighed helplessly, came a few pictures to the port and the bow of the ship, and then shook her hair on her shoulders and said.

Then we probably have to stay on the deck for another hour... And, dear Governor Huye, you don't have to teach me how to take pictures, I know how to take your boat big and beautiful.Or I will give you the camera, how about you taking pictures for me?

The man was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed heartily for a few times, but did not reach out to take the camera.

He is worthy of being Mr. Bennott's daughter!

Then let it go to you!
