When the railway section from Nanzhen to Xincheng was opened to traffic and construction of the section from Xincheng to Hongshicheng started, the situation in Hongshicheng became strange.
Excluding the personnel stationed in Phoenix City, there were originally only more than 6,000 people left in Red Rock City. Instead of declining, the population increased. Many free people in the city were hired to repair houses.
The population of Red Rock City has dropped sharply, and the biggest impact is on various houses.
In the original Red Rock City, this gang and that group did not deal with each other, and a special block division method was formed, like independent bandit camps. In order to avoid the disaster of being a fish in a pond, free people often stayed in the outer areas. .0m
After the city changed hands, it was re-planned and money was distributed to the freedmen. During the off-farm period, most of the uninhabited houses and camps were demolished, leaving only a few two camps and the Red Stone Castle, forming a small war area. Refuge area.
Most of the cleared stones and furniture were piled up together, the ready-made clothes were sent to the new city, and the cloth was distributed to the citizens of Hongshi City.
Nowadays, newly built houses can also use these materials directly. The municipal asking price is very low, which is much more cost-effective than temporary mining.
The biggest advantage of having most of it demolished and re-planned is that the road has finally been straightened. Unlike before, there was not even a 100-meter straight road, and the road had twists and turns in some places that even a small vehicle could not pass.
There are also houses owned by existing residents among the houses that are torn down, but some houses confirmed to be unoccupied will be used as compensation. These are often newer than the residents' original residences, and everyone is more cooperative.
The newly planned roads were paved with gravel generated by knocking down houses. Drainage channels were dug on both sides and covered with stone slabs. Although it was not a formal stone road, it was already very good and looked much cleaner.
In addition, residents were organized to form a small team, which took turns collecting domestic sewage from various streets and transporting it to designated centralized composting areas outside the city for processing.
Although there are fewer people, Red Rock City is getting better and better with time.
Now that all the hard work in the early stage has been done, people are here to pick peaches.
When I inquired about it, I found out that they all moved here from various places.
The Manu brothers came very little for the educational resources in the new city, but more because the rules of Red Rock City have become conducive to the survival of the poor people. Since the city is getting better, they are willing to settle here.
This kind of news is transmitted very quickly with the flow of fart people.
Some of them are relatives of the residents of Red Rock City in the surrounding areas, and many others have no connections at all.
The intelligence network of the big houses is still quite useful. The investigation found that the focus is that there is a war in the east, and the number of refugees has increased recently.
The war zone is a bit far away from the lines of Hongshi, Heishui and Pangxun. In terms of kilometers, it's about... about... maybe 800 kilometers?
Because the distance is a bit long, it is difficult to calculate a more reliable figure without a dedicated group of people measuring it all year round.
It's far away anyway.
The basic power situation of the penal colony is that the west side is full of orcs, and the middle area is a mixed area of various ethnic groups. One lord manages a city. If the scale is relatively large, it is easy to be attacked by orcs.
The east side is not directly attacked by the orcs, so the lords will be more aggressive and try to expand their territory. It is normal for the lords there to have more than a dozen cities, but because no one is convinced, even if someone establishes a country, it will not last long.
It is normal for a war to produce refugees. Not every lord has an army like the Phoenix City. Burning, killing, and looting after entering the city is a normal operation. Not only will the people's livelihood be cut off, but large households will not be spared. The lord wars in the east are often tug-of-war. It doesn't mean that there will be no next time if you survive a wave of looting. It all depends on fate.
At best, the refugees were a population, a labor force, and an observation group for slave traders.
At the worst, they tend to bring more petty theft and crime, squeezing the living space of locals even if they abide by the rules.
Originally, the life of the homeless was not very good. Once the number of refugees reached a certain level, the market labor quotation would be further reduced, and they would either have to live in more pain or move away.
Therefore, once refugees begin to appear, their spread is very strong. By the time they reach the surrounding areas of Red Rock City, they are no longer the refugees themselves, but people from all over the place who have been squeezed out of their living space in a relay manner, resulting in people from various places having to relocate.
In addition to the safety guarantee in Red Rock City, life will be much more nourishing, because the minimum wage system is also implemented here. Although it is not as outrageous as the prices in Phoenix City, it is absolutely no problem to work for one person and feed three people with the minimum wage.
Anyway, recently it seems that this place is gradually turning into a dreamland for the poor people.
The railway from Xincheng to Hongshi City is only ten kilometers long, and it only takes a month. In just one month, it is estimated that there are nearly a thousand people building houses in Hongshi City. Of course, many of them are three to five people per house. Not even a house.
The big players don't care about this, it's not under their control anyway.
The newly moved residents mainly replaced some of the jobs of the original freedmen, and these freedmen went to work for the railway bureau.
Like all official agencies in Phoenix City, the first requirement for entering the Railway Bureau is to know the official language. Thanks to the help of a large number of mages and second-circle apprentices in the early stage, the original residents of Red Rock City can understand at least a few hundred words, and gradually I am used to using Qin language to communicate with outposts and municipal officials.
The Railway Bureau has the experience of Fenghuang Station, Nanzhen Station, and Xincheng Station, and with the help of big investors in Hongshi City, the station construction process went very smoothly.
Hongshi City has a population of less than 10,000, but Hongshi Station is built as a small hub. Like Nanzhen, it will be a railway branch point in the future.
More than 500 people are needed to work inside the station alone, and freight distribution is also needed outside the station. Of course, this is not under the control of the railway bureau, and there will be citizens who are willing to work hard.
The big players have been preparing for months and can't stand it any longer.
The railway has just been laid to Hongshi City. The construction of Hongshi Station and the railway parking area, platforms, warehouses, etc. are waiting to be built. They have already begun to transport various materials to Hongshi City in batches.
Sure enough, during the trial operation phase, Hongshi Station has allowed a small amount of goods to return with the material transport vehicles.
This small amount is only a small amount for the railway, but it can be a lot for large companies. Nearly a hundred tons of goods can be transported to Phoenix City in one day. Such a large amount of goods requires a huge caravan to transport, and there is no way to guarantee this volume every day.
Aarons, the representative of the big investor, quickly got his first reward.
"Back to Master, we sold the yarn and fabrics for a total of 60,000 yuan, of which 11,000 yuan was used to buy ten tons of iron. It can be delivered in Hongshi within two days, and we can pick up the goods directly from Master Ham."
Mr. Ham is also a wealthy man in Red Rock City. He doesn't like to move, so he just contracts the iron ingot transportation business from the iron factory to Red Rock City to earn a small amount. I don't know what freight price the railway bureau gives, but it only costs 100 yuan per ton. Sell.
"well!"
Phoenix coins are wooden coins. At first glance, no one would think that they are useful. But as long as you know the relationship between Phoenix coins and the price of iron in Phoenix City, and you can buy iron, there will be no problem at all. It will only be better than gold and silver coins. Many lords could not buy anything with their own money.
According to the exchange rate of 2 yuan and 50 cents for an ancient silver coin, Aarons's total expenditure on purchasing, transporting and establishing relationships this time was over 50,000 and several thousand yuan. Dozens of tons of thread and cloth could only be wholesaled and given directly to Phoenix City. The warehouse actually doesn't make much money. However, there will be no cost to maintain the relationship in the future, and he will bring ten tons of iron on the return trip. From the second batch of supplies onwards, even if it is in vain, he will not pay a penny again.
Phoenix coins can buy iron, that's how you make money!
I just regret that the waste in the two supply cities is too useless. They can't receive much iron, and the output of cloth and thread is limited. Otherwise, the business can be bigger.

"Brother Shen!"
"Um!"
When Shen Changqing walks on the road, whenever he meets someone he knows, he will say hello or nod to each other.
But no matter who it is.
There was no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they were indifferent to everything.
To this.
Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, there are also some other side jobs.
It can be said.
Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.
The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.
Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.

Then he will be promoted step by step, and he is expected to eventually become a guardian envoy.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.
Possessing the memory of a previous life.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.
Unlike other places in the Demon Suppressing Division that were full of chills, the attic here seemed to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppressing Division.
At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.
Enter the attic.
The environment changes in vain.
The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, making him frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.
There is almost no way to cleanse away the smell of blood on everyone in the Demon-Suppressing Division.
