However, it can also be seen that Minotaur are living quite well here, at least they have not been oppressed.
Just when Claire wanted to ask further, there were footsteps behind him. Looking back, he saw a group of people rushing towards Claire.
The one at the front was a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old, while the person in charge whom Claire had just met was chasing him behind, not wanting the boy to come in contact with Claire.
Claire blinked, and for a moment, many things came to mind about the corruption of local leaders, which caused the people to live in dire straits.
The person in charge behind chased him desperately, but obviously his speed was still not as fast as that of the young man running at the front.
Finally, the young man stood in front of Claire, pursed his lips, and looked up at Claire nervously. At this time, the person in charge behind him also caught up, took the young man's hand, and shouted.
"Harry, stop making trouble and come back with me." After saying that, he showed an apologetic smile to Claire, nodded and bowed, "I'm sorry, Lord Viscount, we are leaving now."
Then he tugged hard on the hand of the boy named Harry, but the other boy stood there blankly, unmoved.
"Harry!" The tone of the person in charge rose several degrees, and the expression on his face was extremely anxious.
Claire stretched out his hand to stop the other party, "Don't worry, I want to hear what he wants to say?"
"Lord Viscount..." The person in charge opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, and finally focused on Harry.
But Harry suddenly got stuck at this moment. He looked at Claire and hesitated, not knowing what to say.
Finally, he turned his attention to the person in charge standing next to him. Claire squinted his eyes and said, "It's okay. Just say it. If you don't say it, the problem will never be solved."
"Is it possible that you just want to show your face in front of me?"
After hearing Claire's words, Harry seemed to be encouraged. He closed his eyes and shouted loudly as if he was risking his life.
"Lord Viscount, I don't understand! Why can our Gilded Rose Town not be as good as other places!"
After shouting this sentence, Harry's depressed mood seemed to be released, and he shouted out all the words he had been holding in his heart!
"Isn't it a good idea at the beginning! After coming to Gilded Rose Town, you can live a better life than before, but why are Brother Anthony and Brother Kent unwilling to stay here and go to Nafu City to make money?"
"And dad said that although a lot of food is grown now, the price of food has dropped a lot than before. Everyone has put in more hard work and effort, but the money they get in the end is still the same as before. I don't understand!"
The person in charge was watching from the side and almost wanted to reach out and block Harry's mouth. Is this something that can be said casually?
Claire's eyes flickered for a few times and then asked, "Your father told you? Who is your father?"
As soon as Claire asked this question, the person in charge protected Harry behind him and said with some fear, "Master Viscount, I am Harry's father. I'm sorry! I shouldn't have said this to him!"
He had to be afraid. What Harry said was equivalent to saying that the agricultural town created by Claire was not good at all. It was a slap in the face of Claire. Even if the viscount was rumored to be kind, he would not dare to gamble with his child's life.
So he continued to explain, "Lord Viscount, what Harry said are one-sided, there are still many people who are willing to stay in Gilded Rose Town, and everyone used to have enough to eat, but now they are very satisfied..."
"Don't worry, I'm not asking questions." Claire first comforted the other party, then turned around and asked, "Iron Hammer, isn't the money you earn from farming here not enough for your life?"
Iron Hammer shook his big head and nodded, "I can only earn half of it, after all, we eat a lot, but we have other jobs. We can go to Nafu City to do construction, and we can also help everyone with farming, so it's still okay."
Iron Hammer's words were not very informative, so Claire went back and asked, "As the person in charge, you should know more. How much money can a family on Gilded Rose Town earn in a year?"
After thinking for a while, the person in charge replied, "Four or five Gold Coins."
After finishing speaking, he was afraid that Claire would be angry and added, "Before I came here, there were only about three, so it can be considered an increase."
After Claire heard this, he finally understood what Harry just said.
There are at least four or five people in a family. If there are four or five Gold Coinss, the average person can earn only one Gold Coins per year. However, the current per capita income in Nafu City is At about ten Gold Coins, even if Nakin Town is of the same level as Gilded Rose Town, the per capita income level is still around five or six Gold Coins.
And the current Gilded Rose Town is more than five times different from the people in other places. How can it be possible to retain people?
Nafu City and Nakin Town are not far from here. Anyone who has the ability after adulthood will not choose to stay here and go to those two places to find work.
Of course, except Minotaur, they don't have very high material needs and can just eat enough. Besides farming, they can also move bricks in Nafu City to earn money, which is a much better life than the people on Gilded Rose Town.
After the gradual loss of young people, Gilded Rose Town will sooner or later become a highly aging place, and it is full of people who have moved here, and they have not established a sense of belonging in such a short period of time. This place may become a ruin in the future, which is not in line with Claire's initial vision. He planned to turn this place into an agricultural town.
There is also what Harry mentioned later. If there is more food among the people here, the price will be relatively lower. Although they have put in more hard work, the harvest is not as much as before. Who can bear this? In the past life, there were many fruit farmers who would rather let the fruit rot in the ground than sell it.
If there are too many of a certain item on the market, their prices will naturally decrease. This is a market rule and Claire cannot change it. Of course, he can invest in purchasing those agricultural products, but this is not conducive to subsequent development at all. It is impossible to build an entire town. Such a large population needs to live on Claire's relief. Then why build this town? Just return to the countryside.
Claire looked at the crowd who came to watch the fun and asked, "Is your current income enough for your life?"
"That's enough. I feel fuller than before."
"Thanks to Lord Viscount, things are better than before."
"But..." someone in the crowd muttered, "But who doesn't want to earn more? I heard that the kid from Gene's family earns more than our family at Nafu City."
"..." As soon as these words came out, the scene became silent.
Just like what Harry just said, these problems have been exposed in front of everyone. Almost everyone in the town is aware of it, but they are unable to change it and can only endure it silently.
