Chương 443: Great news for 432 days

Looking at the indigenous people of Zheng Country whose clothes were still patched despite living within the city, Tagg knitted his brows and turned to the Corps Commander, "Are they truly poor, or is it the war that has brought them to this state?"

"I've asked. They've really been exploited to this extent. The officials of Zheng Country treat them very poorly, squeezing them mercilessly.... After the people from Sheng Country arrived, it was the same, they didn't even consider them human," the Corps Commander said. "There are thousands of mass graves outside the city, everywhere you can see the bodies of the people of Zheng Country."

"That's why we should come here." Tagg took off his wide-brimmed hat and scratched his head, "The focus is on the port. We need to improve the throughput as fast as possible, it's the key to speeding up."

How could living conditions be improved? Goods! Having goods was the key! Bringing more goods to Dongwan Island was the start of all development.
