In the following days, the migration from Black Rock City to White Stone City was on the right track.
Cecilia advertised in Black Rock City that White Stone City had a low tax burden and special treatment for the residents of White Stone City. This attracted more and more residents of Black Rock City. They left their homes where they had lived for generations and joined the refugees as they moved towards White Stone City.
The resettlement work in White Stone City was also a problem because White Stone City could not accommodate so many people.
Fortunately, White Stone City did not have to deal with so many houses at once. They only had to deal with the allocation of houses for the professional craftsmen who had passed the examination. As for the refugees, White Stone City allocated a large area of empty land and urgently made tents and other living materials. They set up shanty towns for the refugees to live in.
However, this was definitely not a long-term solution. The refugees moved mainly because they wanted to buy the rights to the plague's nemesis at a low price. If they did not give the refugees a good living environment, including living and working environment, they would definitely escape back to Black Rock City after they were cured of the Plague of the Dead virus that lurked in their bodies.
Bai Xiaowen also had a countermeasure for this. The refugees bought the plague's nemesis medicine and each person was limited to one vial per day. In this way, the refugees would need at least 21 days to be completely cured. During this time, the management of White Stone City would be free to settle them down.
Bai Xiaowen came up with a development plan for White Stone City. The specific content will not be described in detail. Here are a few key words:
Expansion of the city, reconstruction, development.
The usable area in the city was not enough, so it had to be expanded. Bai Xiaowen planned to expand the total area of White Stone City by three times. First, he would send the army to drive piles along the road, enclosing a large circle of land outside White Stone City. As for the existing walls of White Stone City, they would be used as the inner city.
Reconstruction and expansion were all construction trades. They could attract a group of migrants to join the White Stone City Construction Corps. There were many problems to consider, such as the allocation of construction resources, the layout of the streets and residences after reconstruction, and so on.
Developing the land was imperative. There were so many migrants who needed to open their mouths to eat. This also involved a series of problems, such as farming, grain loans, land allocation …
Bai Xiaowen felt that if he were placed in an ancient war strategy game, he would definitely be an awesome player with an internal affairs score of more than 95. Just his highly retentive memory and agile thinking ability allowed him to quickly find solutions to thousands of problems. He divided all the difficult tasks into small problems and distributed them, causing the internal affairs of Baishi City to run at high speed.
Knight Tim became the chief steward of White Stone City and was extremely busy every day. Not only him, but almost all the literate knights in Baishi City were ordered around by Bai Xiaowen.
However, after two days of busy work, all the work began to get on track, and Baishi City entered a period of construction in full swing.
Bai Xiaowen, as the architect of the blueprint and the person who made the plan, could take a breather and rest.
What made Bai Xiaowen the happiest was the addition of a large number of senior professionals, which would allow White Stone City's various industries to develop rapidly. Currently, the blacksmith shop, jewelry shop, inscription shop, and other special buildings had not been upgraded because they still needed to be expanded. However, the professionals were already there. It was because of these professionals that the corresponding buildings could be upgraded.
For example, for the blacksmith shop to be upgraded to Level 4, at least one senior blacksmith must be stationed there. Otherwise, no matter how much resources Bai Xiaowen had, he would not be able to build a Level 4 blacksmith shop.
The upgrade of these special buildings would bring more high-end goods to Bai Xiaowen's shop on Earth, "The Knife Kills Many People." Take the blacksmith shop as an example. Currently, a Level 3 blacksmith shop could already produce Blue grade equipment. After reaching Level 5, the blacksmith shop could produce Gold grade equipment! Although the consumption of production capacity was shocking, Gold grade equipment could not be compared to Blue and White grade equipment.
"This wave of attack on Black Rock City is really worth it!" Bai Xiaowen was elated.
Suddenly, someone came to report that Castellan Cecilia had already brought the last batch of professional blacksmiths and led two groups of refugees into the city.
Bai Xiaowen stood up to welcome them.
Cecilia handed the blacksmiths and refugees over to Head Butler Tim. Then, she met Bai Xiaowen at the entrance of the Lord's Mansion. A bright smile appeared on her face. Some of the fatigue on her face disappeared.
"We have almost emptied Black Rock City of its resources."
Cecilia said, "Even if Prince Nicholas did not agree to hand Black Rock City over to you and wanted to take back the territory of Black Rock City, he would only end up with a destitute city … Now, most of the high-end shops in Black Rock City have closed down. The shops that are barely open have their levels dropped rapidly. They do not even have the ability to produce mid-grade items. This phenomenon has also accelerated the migration of the residents of Black Rock City. "
"Everyone has a herd mentality. Actually, when the first batch of refugees and professional teams set off from Black Rock City, I could already see the outcome. "
Bai Xiaowen smiled. He did not feel the slightest bit of guilt about emptying Black Rock City of its resources. If he did not do anything about it, Black Rock City would be invaded by the undead plague sooner or later. Then, many people would die an unnatural death. Now that these residents had arrived at White Rock City, at least their lives would be guaranteed. They would not become the undead of the plague.
Looking at Cecilia's beautiful face, which was slightly thin, Bai Xiaowen wanted to say something but stopped himself. He was reluctant to part with her.
"Dior, you are leaving?" Cecilia sharply sensed something.
"Yes. I have almost reached the limit of my time in the Northern Lands. The next time I come here, it might be another year or so before I have enough time, "Bai Xiaowen said.
He could only stay for one day a month. However, if he only had one day, it would be meaningless to come to Kane Realm. He would not be able to do anything. Therefore, Bai Xiaowen had been saving up five or six days of time to come to Kane Realm. At least he could help develop the territory.
Cecilia hugged Bai Xiaowen tightly. It was as if she was using all her strength to merge Bai Xiaowen into her body.
"Wait for me," Bai Xiaowen whispered softly into her ear.
"Take me with you!"
Cecilia buried her face in Bai Xiaowen's chest. Her voice was a little muffled. After saying this, she was almost completely drained of energy. She leaned weakly against Bai Xiaowen and murmured softly.
"For you, I can give up my dignity. For you, I can give up my self. For you, I can give up my world … "
Bai Xiaowen reached out and hugged Cecilia. Although he had thousands of words in his heart, he could not say a single word.
