Epsu 21. Economic Issues

moments later Ongyu managed to make all the residents and leaders gathered in the middle of the hill, where they used to hold meetings or open meetings and share announcements.

all members of the bandits are now waiting for the arrival of the chairman who will come to announce the final settlement of the problem that occurred, the latter,

Paul rushed towards where all the citizens had gathered, not forgetting that Lim and Jiang were present to see everything that was happening. While the chairman's wife chose to stay at home to keep her baby and the baby race moite that was entrusted to her.

seeing the arrival of the chairman, all the citizens began to whisper to each other and guessed at each other about the decision to be taken by the chairman, he said,

"leader 1?is there something you want to say?"chirp Paul stared intently at a man standing not far beside him,

Chairman 1 and father Paul was a little surprised to see the attitude of his son, but he chose to remain silent and not to discuss everything the chairman said,

"i've known all the truth, given that you're my real father, I'm giving you a chance to defend yourself!"exclaim Paul

"what does the chairman mean?which truth?" ask the 1st leader with a slightly worried look

"listen everything! the baby Shui gave birth to, he's my real flesh and blood" Paul shouted and told him everything that happened,starting from the plans of the leaders who conspired to displace the position of chairman and the slander they threw also about the truth that Paul was a chimera.

"t-no! you're not a chimera! obviously yesterday's blood test the results said that he wasn't your son, you just made up the story"that leader 1 was trying to undermine Paul's plans

"i can prove that the chief's words are true" chirped Lim walking forward, followed by Jiang who carried the trunk of the meru tree and the lunaria leaves, and then the,

Lian had predicted that something like this would happen, and had previously told Lim to take a few drops of Paul's baby blood for back testing.

Paul explained about the testing done by Lim and again the blood test was done, producing a green glow over the test rod.

Lian also asked Lim to call the man in question and slandered Shui, saying, then the blood test was also done on him but did not appear the slightest light from the testing rod which means that they do not have blood relations.

"a-I don't know what!!I was just instigated and paid for by them" she said, trying to protect herself

"we have been wrong!"

"Shui nice lady!"

"his father-in-law is very cunning, and has the heart to slander his son!"

"he didn't even think about his granddaughter!"

"really inappropriate!"

now all citizens are gossiping to each other leaders one by one and through mutual agreement, as punishment the leaders will be removed from their positions and replaced by new leaders.

now that Paul is filling the leadership position with his trusted people, Engyu is also one of the new leaders.

"huft..eventually all problems are solved!"lim lirih said

"yes, I didn't expect that the bandits would also have internal conflicts like this" Jiang said.

"let's go back to picking things up on the train, it's starting the afternoon! you need to build a house soon."all Lian, you have to,

then they walked to the abandoned train around the house, immediately carrying the train to the house of the chairman.

"mmm we just put it in front of his house" muttered Jiang then Lim stopped their train right in front of Paul's house, then walked inside.

inside the house was Ongyu and Paul was sitting with food that Shui had prepared,

"you sit....Yiyang was sleeping in the room" Shui's voice suddenly appeared carrying a tray with a few glasses of water on it,

"yes we eat together" Paul asked, then Lim and Jiang complied and sat down to eat together.

after finishing eating food, Shui immediately cleaned up all the cutlery that had just been used, while the men were now sitting and talking.

"e-eh we didn't mean to stay that long" Jiang explained their wanderings

"we may only stay for a few weeks." Lim said.

"that's a minute!"paul was a little surprised

"if it's only a few weeks, you don't have to build a house and stay in my place" Ongyu said

"that's right! I actually wanted to offer you to stay here, but you would definitely refuse him for fear of disturbing my family" Paul grumbled

"hmm is it okay if we stay at your house?"tanya Lim looked at Ongyu with a slightly doubtful look

"it's okay! I also live alone. My house is enough for you to stay" Ongyu said with a smile.

"alright then! we'll stay at your house."celtuk Lim.

"my house is right next to Paul's, so you just take all the stuff there" Ongyu said,

Lim and Jiang rushed to retrieve all their belongings on the carriage and moved them into Ongyu's house,not to forget Jiang brought the baby moite race and put him to sleep in the room that Ongyu had prepared for all of them.

"from today on this day.the area in the middle of the hill will establish a settlement called a village of thieves" Paul said to all residents.

"isn't that name too horrible." murmured Jiang.

"don't think it's cool enough." - Lim smiled.

"and now you will call me the village chief" Paul asked

it did not feel like they had been living 1 week with the thieves,in recent days Paul began to realize his desire to make the bandits no longer rob the passersby who come and become ordinary citizens and build a safe and peaceful settlement, he said,

but because of a habit that they used to do, for now there is an economic problem that affects all the villagers of thieves.Harta they began to run out to buy necessities and transportation to the middle of the city,

Paul as the village chief certainly did not stay silent, with the help of his wife and Ongyu they began to think of various ways to overcome this problem, of course by asking for help from Lim and Jiang.

"more and more people are coming here and complaining that their money is running out" Paul murmured

"our property will also run out, because some of the property I share with the citizens in need" Shui said

"what if we moved and lived in the middle of the city?"ask Ongyu

"the whole village will not agree to move" Paul said.

"hmm what if we grow crops?"jiang hesitated a little

"but only a few plants can survive here, it also cannot replace our staple food" Ongyu said

"but what if we plant something that is easy to grow here but rarely sold in urban areas" said Lim

"yes you're right, so we can sell it at a higher price" said Jiang.

"the idea is worth trying, but what plants are easy to grow and rarely sold?"groused Paul

"plant only medicinal plants such as pera and kulata stems, these plants can only grow in low-temperature areas"

"these plants are very rarely sold in the middle of the city because they have to import and they are very expensive" Lian said
