Yet the Outer City District fell into a state of disbelief.
The common folk of Dawn, earning only a few dozen Copper Coins each month, toiled for 13 to 16 hours every day.
But after these new laws were announced, the entire Outer City District erupted with thunderous cheers after a brief silence.
Goblins or Humans, or even Elves with particularly poor talents, all burst into loud cheers as if it were New Year’s Eve.
The days that seed like hell, yet were supposed to be ordered, were finally coming to an end.
The voices of gratitude chanting the na Baiyi began to spread. Originally, the change of City Lord instilled only awe, but now... they were finally no longer cheap tools but real people.
Smiles began to spread through the Outer City District, which was once lifeless but now incredibly vibrant.
So players on quests watched this scene and seed to recall their forr selves, involuntarily showing a slight smile, a truly heartfelt smile... how wonderful it was....
On the city lord’s mansion rooftop, Luoning even had a touch of tears in his eyes.
Listening to the praises outside, he couldn’t help but look at the sky and murmur: "Mom... perhaps... there will never be anyone like you again...."
-----------------
Capital City, ergency eting.
Bam!
"This is simply nonsense!" an Honorary Legislator angrily slamd the table: "What is he doing? Is there no law? Can the Dongwu City Lord just act so recklessly?"
The patriarch of the Luo Wa Clan also disapproves, saying: "Remove him, take him away! What does a child know about managing a city? Let him co back to cultivate, and let soone else manage the city!"
Their family is the third wealthiest among all families in Dawn, producing most of the Federation’s basic and high-tier equipnt.
The pricing of all levels of equipnt in the Federation is based on their standards.
The manufacturing of equipnt involves a series of industries such as mining, transportation, and the cleaning and polishing of ores.
In these industries, those tasks with little technical content require extrely cheap labor from common people.
A Gold Coin can hire twenty Level 10 Beastn for a month’s ti.
This is considered a high-paying job in the whole Federation.
Even Level 10 individuals of various races scramble to take such jobs.
A farr’s annual inco is only about 20 Silver Coins, and farrs are considered a high-end profession among common people in this era.
Because they grow not high-yield crops, but a variety of vegetables provided to various restaurants.
An ordinary worker having an annual inco of ten Silver Coins is already very good, and earning a few dozen Copper Coins a month is the norm.
However, Baiyi directly set the wage for common people to not be less than 1 Gold Coin a year.
For a legislator clan like Luo Wa, this represents that their originally very low expenses will increase several tis, and their profits will drop significantly.
Of course, this may not have spread to them yet, but if all the common people flock to Dongwu City, wouldn’t the effect be the sa?
Moreover, the common people will feel unbalanced, and a series of reactions will be a huge shock to the current Federation.
There are many legislators supporting, but surprisingly, not all.
The legislators led by Patriarch Luo Wa looked at these silent families with doubt in their eyes.
Before they could ask, the aura of the Undead suddenly appeared, and from a mass of black mist, Diane slowly walked out.
It was her first ti coming to the parliantary hall, yet there was no curiosity in her eyes.
"Greetings, legislators."
Diane bowed slightly and said with a smile: "This ti I represent Dongwu City, to answer a bit of your questions."
The legislators frowned, but Diane was already an adult, and her strength was not weak, already a Level 59 Necromancer, perhaps not weaker than them in so states.
But they had watched the third generation grow up and in such formal occasions always felt these youngsters were not dependable, particularly the more familiar ones seed even less reliable.
"You..."
"Ahem..."
Just as Patriarch Luo Wa started speaking, a light cough interrupted him, theus couldn’t help but tease: "How co you’re representing Dongwu City? Are you planning not to be a Di Feng anymore?"
Diane blushed and glared at the old man: "Grandpa, stop disrupting, I have business to attend to."
"Hehehe... alright, alright, you represent Dongwu City... indeed... after all, when a girl grows up, she can’t be kept in the household..." theus stroked his beard and shook his head as he spoke.
However, with his interruption, the originally tense atmosphere suddenly began to relax.
Xiaoben Koman also teased: "Di Feng, didn’t we already agree to let that young man marry in? What? Changed your mind now?"
Fuman Helen, an old lady, also chid in: "Tsk, maybe he went to Dongwu City twice and was convinced, but this is illegal, be careful or Oganna will catch you."
theus: "You all are just jealous, looking down on you all!"
Rarely, Patriarch Will also appeared this ti, his slightly stooped back had a sword box on it, and even among incredibly precious materials, it still exuded a hint of sharpness.
He calmly said: "If you keep bragging, I’ll beat you up in a mont."
theus: ... "Old thing, if you don’t know how to joke don’t make one, it’s really cold!"
"Yo, this busybody has returned too, I support you in beating him up, give him a good thrashing for showing off all the ti."
The Lotte Family, He Family, Yongyi... nearly half of the legislator families spoke up, making the atmosphere in the hall a bit odd.
Patriarch Luo Wa frowned and couldn’t help but knock on the table.
He quelled the increasingly joyful atmosphere of the council.
"What’s up with you all?" Patriarch Luo Wa said calmly: "Do you know what this ans? Think about three hundred years ago, even if we can withstand it, this change will bankrupt many small families and it’s a deadly blow to the existing system and economy of the Federation."
