Half a year later.
Large numbers of Black people appeared in western Paradis Island, along with some Eldia people from the southern Marley Continent. All of them joined the construction of Chang’an City. When the Eldia people from Marley learned that Paradis Island was a monarchy, they initially resisted it vehemently.
But when they learned that the empress of the Eldia Empire guaranteed a minimum wage of twenty Eldian Dollars an hour, the Marley Eldia people experienced a social standing they had never enjoyed before. They began to feel a sense of belonging to the Eldia Empire, because the Black people who had come with them did not receive this guarantee.
Winston's Rothschild Family began establishing banks on Paradis Island, issuing loans and investing heavily in finance, railways, and agriculture.
With Winston's heavy investment, railways connected the east, south, west, and north of Paradis Island. All the roads Within the Walls were repaired, linking north and south. The road and rail network Within the Walls grew increasingly extensive, greatly reducing labor and transportation costs. Paradis Island's economy entered a period of rapid growth.
At the same time, Winston purchased vast tracts of farmland inside Wall Maria. The farmers lost their own land and became professional farmworkers in his employ. However, because Winston paid high wages, they saw nothing wrong with it for the time being. On the contrary, they were delighted, since they no longer had to bear the risks of natural disasters themselves.
Under the heavy investment of Winston's family, the GDP of the Eldia Empire's Royal Capital grew by 120 percent in just half a year, a development that became known as the June Miracle.
Winston also began investing in the construction of Chang’an City, hiring large numbers of laborers who had migrated from the Marley Continent
