The Doctor In the Steampunk World

Chapter 771: The importance of connections

Simon was completely silent. He didn't know whether he underestimated the darkness of this era or the ugliness of human nature.

"Does City Hall just ignore it?" Simon asked unwillingly.

"Come on, but the city hall also needs to purchase for disaster relief. Even if it is purchased, it is purchased from those related businesses. Although the price is a little cheaper than outside, it is still about twice as expensive as usual. Where does the city hall come from? So much money to buy."

"You, stop the idea of ​​collecting donations, no matter how much money you raise, it's just to give money to others. If you really want to do disaster relief, my Sidon family can help you. Our family also hoarded some food and clothes. , you can send it out."

"enough?"

"Of course that's not enough."

"Wait for me, I'll ask the director." Simon got up and went directly to Stellan.

Stellan had returned to the ninth inning, and Simon knocked on the door to come in.

"Simon, what's the matter with you?"

"Director, I would like to ask, because of the snow demon disaster last night, a large number of homeless civilians appeared in the outer city and Xiachang area. What is the City Hall going to do?"

Stellan frowned and said solemnly, "The city hall is already discussing and is buying food and clothing for disaster relief."

"Can it cover everyone?"

"This... I'm afraid I can't." Stellan shook his head.

Simon's face was ugly: "I heard that the price of food and clothing in Fossa City has risen several times. Isn't the city hall going to stop this situation?"

Stellan understood what Simon meant and sighed: "It's hard to stop."

"In such a critical situation in Fossa City, those businessmen only care about their own interests and openly drive up prices. This is sucking the blood of the people of Fossa City. Is the city hall just so laissez-faire?" Simon snorted coldly.

"Well, I know it too, but the entanglement of interests and the complicated relationship cannot be sorted out in a while."

"If you can't figure it out, then cut the mess quickly. If you continue to let it go, the people will not be able to eat, and will they have clothes to keep out the cold. It is very likely to arouse people's revolt. The situation in Fossa City will probably be even more critical by then." Simon pondered.

Stellan frowned. He had never imagined such a situation. How could he be able to reverse the profit-making interests of most of the nobles and high-ranking officials in Fossa City?

"I'm going to the city hall now to find the mayor to coordinate, and I will definitely find a way to solve this problem," Strand said.

After Simon returned to the room, he listened to the conversation with Stellan, but Chekwen shook his head: "Those high-ranking officials and nobles in Fossa City are not worried about the civil upheaval. No big waves."

"If you really want to do disaster relief, I'll show you a clear path. You really have to do it yourself," Chekwen said.

"Tell me."

"You have a lot of influence now. You can personally go out and find the families behind those grain merchants in Fossa City. I think you should be able to get some grain."

Simon frowned and asked him to go to the door to ask for help. This is what Simon never wanted to do. What he hates most is to ask for help.

"Isn't your relationship with the Mukdo family very good? The Mukdo family can hoard a lot of food and clothing. Maybe you can convince the Mukdo family to take out the hoarded food and clothing." Chekwen said.

Simon moved in his heart. If it was the Mukdo family, he might have succeeded in coming forward.

"In addition, some wandering small businessmen and small nobles can also pull down the food and clothing. After this calculation, they should be able to save the emergency. But Simon, this winter is not over yet. I heard that the disaster of the snow demon will continue, you Can you save this time, can you save the next time?" Chekwen said.

"I can save it once. Let me tell you about the Mercado family. Can you handle those small businessmen and small nobles?"

"Using your name and the name of my Sidon family, it should be no problem to promise some benefits. But they can't give it away for nothing, even if it is purchased at the previous market price, it is a lot of money. Is this money for a donation?"

"Let's donate, how much can be raised, if it's not enough, I'll make it up." Simon said, anyway, he still has a lot of money left, and he should be able to make it up.

"If you want to do good things, I can't fall behind. If it's not enough, half of us will be the two of us."

Simon nodded: "But this matter is still waiting for the chief to come back. I want to hear what the city hall plans to do."

"Alright, although I don't have any hope, but what if." Cheekwen shrugged, and he knew from his expression that he really had no hope.

And the result was really hit by Chekwen.

Simon has been waiting for Stellan. As soon as Stellan came back, Simon came to the door. Seeing Stellan's expression, Simon couldn't help but sink.

Stellan smiled reluctantly: "Simon, the city hall has its own opinions. They are already buying food and clothing, so you don't have to worry."

"Director, you know who I am, so we don't need to be official. Tell me, can the city hall solve the food and clothing problems of the homeless in the outer city and the lower city?"

"It should be able to solve a third of it."

"Should? That is to say, maybe one third of them can't be solved?"

Stellan nodded helplessly.

Simon was a little disappointed, he said to Stellan: "Director, I'm going to go out later, in the inner city."

"Is there a problem?"

After Simon thought about it, he still spoke out about the fundraising. He felt that Stellan should be able to help.

"Simon, you may be dissatisfied by many people by doing this. Are you sure you want to do this?"

Simon laughed angrily: "I was wrong to save people? What kind of truth is this."

Stellan sighed: "It's not your business after all, your first task is to deal with the snow demon."

"Is it just watching those poor people in the outer city and the lower city being frozen to death? I can't stand it. I will deal with the snow demon, and I will save people. If anyone can't stand it, let him come and find him. Me." Simon responded arrogantly.

"Director, time waits for no one, I'll go first." Simon Dia left the office.

Stellan sighed again, and then found an assistant, posted a fund-raising campaign, and raised funds in the ninth inning.

In fact, he couldn't stand it, but he couldn't solve it. He had a very heavy task now, and he didn't have time to deal with it.

But since Simon wants to do it, in public and private, Stellan will help Simon.

Simon and Chekwin left separately, and he went directly to the Merckdo family, met with Spiel Merckdo, and explained the situation to him.

Spear Mercedor is simply.

"Our family has hoarded a lot of food and clothing. Since you said it, our family's food and clothing are given to you. You can take it for disaster relief."

Spiel Merck didn't even want money, and directly hoarded the supplies to Simon.
