Rise of the Empire Total War

Hilbert is a native of Nord City, and so are he and his family members. Although they were born in the Royal Capital and grew up in the Royal Capital, their family is not rich, so they can only live in Nord City. In the slums in the northwest of the city. The conditions here are very bad. Although His Majesty the King personally ordered several rectifications, after a while, it will always return to its original appearance, with sewage flowing and a stench in the air.

However, since the demolition began in May last year, the original dirty and messy slums have disappeared, replaced by pieces of ruins. The engineering team not only demolished the tall and strong city walls, but also spared the Hilbert family. Razed to the ground, of course, they don’t just care about demolition and management. After negotiation, every household in the slum area that was demolished received a lot of compensation. In addition to the compensation, after the expansion of the new urban area is completed, , they can also get a brand new home in the new city.

Not only that, but the homeless poor have also obtained new jobs. They can join the engineering team, help build new urban areas, or clean up the ruins, with food and housing, and they can get wages every day. Life is so much better.

Because of this, the poor people swept away the decadence of the past, and suddenly felt hopeful in life, and they were very grateful to His Majesty the King who ordered the expansion of the city. If he used game terms, Richard suddenly raised the loyalty of these poor people. At the highest level, their loyalty will not be reduced unless they deliberately make some showy operations.

The Hilbert family did not intend to join the engineering team. They first lived in a relative's house in the city for a year, and finally decided to leave the capital with the remaining compensation money to join relatives who lived in the countryside. Before setting off, he bought some robes made of good fabrics for his family, hired a carriage, and left the city with all his belongings. The development of Nord City can be described by leaps and bounds. The streets in the city have changed, even if you leave here, you don't have a lot of nostalgia.

Thanks to the stone-paved avenues extending in all directions in the territory of the Nord royal family, the carriage only took a few hours to reach the village where relatives live. The village has also changed a lot. It is leveled, and around the village, there are large expanses of golden wheat fields. A gust of wind blows, as if blowing across the lake, causing large waves. Looking around, it is very spectacular.

The carriage drove all the way into the village, and the houses on both sides of the road were not dilapidated as they were more than ten years ago. On the contrary, the original low and dilapidated thatched houses had disappeared, replaced by solid stone houses, although the appearance was not very good. , but it is very practical, at least you don’t have to worry about rain leaking in the house when it’s raining, and you don’t have to worry about the roof being overturned when it’s windy. What surprised Hilbert even more was that not far from the entrance of the village, a tavern stood impressively. Although it was white now, it was still full of people. The villagers were all sitting in it, tasting delicious ale.

"The changes here are really too great." Hilbert couldn't help but sigh with emotion. When his relatives held a wedding and invited him to the banquet more than ten years ago, the place was still in depression, and the environment was worse than the poor areas of the city. Dilapidated, but more than ten years have passed, and the changes here are so great,

Life may be better than these so-called city dwellers.

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of the relative's house. Hilbert jumped out of the carriage, walked to the closed door, and knocked hard a few times, only to hear the sound of knocking on the door. First there was a movement, and then a series of footsteps from far to near, the door was opened from the inside, and the familiar but somewhat strange face of the relative came into Hilbert's eyes at random, and the two looked at each other. They were taken aback for a moment, and after a few seconds, they recognized each other.

"Hilbert? Why are you here?" the relative asked in a joyful and surprised voice.

"The place where I live was demolished, so I came to join you for a while." Hilbert smiled and said, "Besides me, Galina, Jane, and Alan also came with me."

"Bring them in quickly, I think Larissa will be very happy to see you." The relative Gao Xin said, and then shouted into the house: "Larissa, come and see who is here."

"Who?" A somewhat hoarse female voice came out from the house. After a while, a middle-aged woman in coarse cloth came out. She happened to see Hilbert who was leading his wife and children back. Seeing the other party, she screamed and said excitedly: "My dear Hilbert, why are you here? And my lovely Alan, no wonder I saw a magpie jumping in front of the window this morning, it turned out that you are coming !"

"Okay, Larissa, hurry up and get them some delicious pine cone cakes, I think our guests are already hungry."

"Oh! Bilawal, you reminded me, I'll go get ready right away." Larissa said, quickly walked into the house and started to work. Looking at her back, the man named Bilawal smiled and looked at it again. Looking at the carriage parked outside the house, he asked, "Hilbert, is there anything else you haven't brought in?"

"What?" Hilbert didn't react for a while, but he looked out following Bilawal's sight, and immediately remembered, slapped his hands, and said: "You reminded me, Bilawal, I will give you Some gifts have been prepared, and those gifts are still on the carriage!"

Hilbert said, and ran out quickly, just in time to meet the driver who took out a box from the carriage, the latter saw him coming, handed the box in his hand to Hilbert, and said at the same time: "Mr. , your things are forgotten here, if nothing else happens, this should be the last box."

"Thank you very much, this is indeed the last box." Hilbert said, and then took out a silver mark still warm from his arms, handed it to the driver, pretending to be generous: "This is for you For the fee, you can go back to Nord City."

"Thank you for your fee." When the coachman saw the silver coin, his face was full of smiles, and he took the silver coin while bending down to thank him. After he put the silver coins into his arms, Hilbert had already returned to the house with the suitcase. The smile on the coachman's face disappeared immediately, and he secretly cursed "Tu Chaji" (Chaji is a word passed down by the Winsters) The protagonist of a story, although he is poor, but loves face, plays a lot of ostentation, and finally starves to death on the street because he spends all his money on it. So when people describe a person who has no money but loves to pretend to be rich, can be described as Tuchaji), then returned to the car and drove the horse away from here.

Hilbert didn't know what the driver was talking about behind his back. When he returned to the house, Bilawal closed the door. Then, there was a burst of laughter in the house...
