At the same time, under Tomy's guidance, all of the citizens of Cabran City had seen Soga. At the same time, they reminded Tomy that there was not much food left on the island, and if Tomy did not hurry up and go out to transport the food and daily necessities back, they might very well starve to death.

Hearing the citizens' words, Soga smiled and indicated for Tomy to leave. Then, Soga smiled and said to everyone. "Everyone should know that Six-wings Phoenix Angels are subordinate of me, Soga. From now on, their mission has become my mission, and I have also become the one you should pay your loyalty to. In other words, from now on, I am your City Lord! "

Hearing Soga's words, everyone couldn't help but be taken aback for a bit, and then … The old man stood out once more and said respectfully, "Esteemed sir, we don't have much hope right now. As long as you can guarantee our lives and future lives, we will recognize you as the city lord."

With a slight smile, Soga nodded his head and said: "Since I want to be your City Lord, then of course I will take care of you. Right now, I want to know, as a citizen, what are your requests?"

Hearing Soga's words, the old man hesitated for a moment, and then said decisively: "Our requirements are not high, and we are currently in a crisis, the first thing we need is security for our supplies, and secondly … We hope that you can ensure our safety and that you won't lose your life because of the pirates' attack. I hope that our treatment will be the same as before! "

After frowning slightly, Soga opened his mouth and said: "Regarding your first request, I believe there is no problem. As you have all seen, we currently have 177 Giant Camil Class galleys, and there are even 50 Camil class galleys waiting for us at the shipyard to retrieve them. There's absolutely no problem in the transportation of goods. Even if your people are ten times more, we will still be able to supply them! "

"Oh!" Hearing Soga's words, all the citizens started cheering for him. It was just as Soga had said, the sail that connected the clouds and the sea had already blocked the outside of the harbor, such a powerful City Lord was something they had never seen before. In their entire history, there had never been a City Lord with such a huge fleet, and there were no one that was close to half his level.

Seeing the elated expressions, Soga smiled and nodded, then continued to speak: "As for ensuring your safety, there is no need to worry about that, if you cannot even guarantee that, then this City Lord is simply trash! Although I am still unable to come up with concrete measures, I have the determination and the ability to do so! "

"Oh!" 's words did not make them doubt his words at all. In this world, as long as you have money, you can do whatever you want. As long as you are willing to spend money, there would naturally be people willing to help you defend the city.

After cheering for a long time, Soga reached out his hands to indicate everyone to quiet down, then frowned: "Now I need to ask about the third condition, because I do not know, what kind of treatment did you have before?"

Hearing Soga's words, the representative of the city, who was also the old man spoke: "In the past, our City Lord had decreed that we could get a fixed salary every day. In the past, our daily salary was 10 merchants used to support us in our daily lives, I don't know …"

"10 merchants!" Stunned, Soga looked at the surrounding citizens in shock. What could this money do? If it was 10 merchants, other than buying some food, daily necessities, and clothes, there was no way they would be able to save up that much money. One must know that the sailors on Soga's boat all earned 100% of their wages every day, and 3000-4000 merchants per month.

Looking at Soga's stunned expression, all of the citizens' faces turned bitter. They thought that Soga thought that was too much, but in the current situation, it was more or less, and it was already not up to them to say anything. Everyone knew, that if Soga disagreed, then they would all starve to death!

As he pondered, the old man wiped away the sweat on his forehead and said, "About this … City Lord Soga, if you think that there are too many, I think … "If it's 8 merchants a day, we can also support ourselves. However, if it's even less, we will …"

"Stop!" With a bitter smile, Soga opened his mouth and said: "You guys are mistaken, it's not that I dislike you guys asking for too much, it's just the opposite, I feel that it's too little, if you guys only received this much every day, you guys can only barely keep yourself warm, right?"

"This …" After hesitating for a long while, the old man bitterly said: "Indeed, just as the City Lord said. We can barely survive if we trade ten people a day, however … This is our life, after all. Miners are the cheapest job in the world, and we don't have much demand for them. As long as we can keep ourselves warm and have enough food, it will be enough to feed our entire families. "

Hearing the old man's words, Soga started to ponder. He could immediately raise the miners' wages to the level of 100 merchants per day, but like this, although everyone would be grateful, the gratitude would quickly pass and people would become like this. No matter what, once they accepted it, they would get used to it after a long time.

There was only one way to make everyone remember these kindness, and that was to give them a bonus every month. With regards to this extra wealth, everyone would naturally be grateful to Dade. Moreover, every month, they would also be grateful to him. The amount of the rewards had to change. Sometimes it was too outrageously high, sometimes it was too little. To keep everyone looking forward to the mayor's death was the way of the king!

This was an intangible reward, but it was closer to everyone's heart. The forms of benefits could be many, and may be very expensive, or may be very cheap, but no matter how little it was, it could strongly coalesce the sense of belonging that everyone shared, allowing everyone to automatically unite around Soga.

After thinking about it, Soga resolutely said, "Alright, 300 companies per month, right? I agree to that request, but. "In addition to the 300 businesses every month, I will award bonuses based on each of your performance. Those who work well will be rewarded, while those who work poorly will be rewarded, with not a single point left!"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" His mouth was agape in shock, the old man trembled as he said: "City lord!" 300 businesses per month cannot be short, if we do not have this money, we will really starve to death! "

With a bitter smile, Soga shook his head: "You still don't understand what I mean, the prize money and the salary are calculated separately, no matter what your job result is, the salary will definitely be given out, every month there are 300 merchants, which is absolutely not a single point less, only the prize money has to change, the more the work, the less the work, the less the work, the better it is!"

"Wow!" Moreover, everyone believed that Soga would not be stingy. If he was stingy, he did not need to set up this prize, otherwise, if he set it up, he would not give it out, and would only use it as a rock to smash his own feet!

Seeing everyone's shocked expression, Soga continued to speak with a smile: "In order to let everyone feel at ease to work, every month, everyone will receive a bit of benefit. Maybe it's to give out a bag of rice, or maybe it's to give out a basket of vegetables or a piece of cloth, in short … I will try my best to use the form of welfare to let everyone eat and drink without worry, but I hope that everyone will pay attention to the amount of welfare, is also related to everyone's degree of effort! "Like I said, do more, do less. If you don't do it, you don't get anything at all!"

Hearing Soga's three great policies, all the citizens couldn't help but cheer. If it was the new City Lord, not only would they retain the basic wages of the ten merchants, they would also retain an unknown amount of bonuses and benefits. This kind of treatment was something they had never heard of before.

Looking at everyone's excited expression, Soga continued to speak: "And I promise, as long as you work in our city for thirty years, even if you don't work anymore in the future, you will still receive a sum of money equal to thirty years of your salary. And … The clothes, food, living and safety of your lower half are all taken care of by our city, so that everyone can live peacefully in your later years! "

Facing Soga's shocking proposal, everyone couldn't help but be dumbstruck. No one spoke, and only stared blankly at Soga.

Looking at everyone's shocked expression, Soga couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart. In fact, in such a big city, just relying on Soga and the rest might even make things difficult for them even if they died of exhaustion. The key point was that they had to rely on themselves to build it.

There is no such thing as absolute loyalty in this world. The so-called loyalty is just because the chips for betrayal is too low. If he wanted everyone to be truly loyal, then he would have to tie everyone's interests together with Soga's. Other than that, there was no other way.
