Chapter 32 Immigration
As His Majesty the King and the Princess of the Lampari Kingdom, the matters that are considered and discussed are of course important matters that are closely related to the entire Lampari Kingdom.
But for Father Afalia and his son Archie, these major events have nothing to do with them. They only care about one issue at the moment, and that is the life of their small family.
In fact, in all fairness, the life of Father Alfalia's family is much better now than it was a few years ago.
Although Father Afalia will still go hunting in the mountains as before, but it has long been not to use the hunted prey to exchange for some money and supplement the income for the family, but every time it is just a simple desire Improve your life and make use of the delicious food in the mountains.
Because now Father Afalia's family is young and old, they no longer need to rely on his hunting income to support their living.
Father Alfalia's three sons and two daughters all work in factories run by various chambers of commerce in Bangta City. On average, each person can get a monthly salary of more than ten gold coins per month. A family's monthly income even exceeds seventy gold coins.
So much money, but their family may not be able to earn all year round before.
With the increase in income, the life of Father Alfalia's family has naturally improved a lot.
Not only did Father Afalia hunt the prey just for the sake of the tooth sacrifice, but the small thatched hut was also overthrown now. Following the example of other families in the village, it was built and launched by the Amri Chamber of Commerce, and it got all the properties in Bangta City. It is a brand new two-story building with brick and concrete structure.
At the same time, a variety of household magic machinery has been added to the home, making the whole life countless times more comfortable than before.
However, this good life suddenly disappeared with the change of the city lord of Bangta City.
Although it will not suddenly return to the predicament of the previous few years, which can only barely fill the stomach, but because the new city owner has implemented the policy of suppressing business and promoting agriculture, many businessmen in Bangta City will have factories under their names or Moved out, or closed down, and as a result three of Papa Alfalia's five children lost their jobs. The remaining two still went to the Falling Rain Valley dozens of kilometers away to find their jobs again.
Now their family's monthly income has suddenly changed from more than 70 gold coins in the past to only more than 20 gold coins now, which has shrunk by more than half in an instant, making the life of the whole family difficult.
Of course, this income is actually much higher than in previous years. However, people's living standards are now much higher than before, and it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to suddenly drop from a monthly income of more than 70 gold coins to more than 20 gold coins.
The key is that in the past two years, Father Afalia's family has taken advantage of the huge increase in income, and has been busy learning about the marriage of the second son. A family, the burden is much heavier than before.
The more important problem is that the youngest son Archie has passed eighteen years old this year, and according to the tradition in the countryside. If you are not married before the age of 20, you will be gossiped behind your back.
Yaqi got along with a girl in the village by himself, and the two got along very well.
After seeing this girl, Father Afalia was also very satisfied. He originally planned to marry the two of them this year or next year as planned.
But the girl's parents put forward conditions at this time. It is required that Archie must prepare a new house when he gets married, and purchase all kinds of household magic machinery in the new house - all of them must be new flying cards.
Ordinarily, this requirement can't be considered too much, because everyone's life has changed for the better now, and the girls in Bangta City will have similar requirements when they get married.
However, the Newika Chamber of Commerce where Archie worked before moved directly to Canberra City, which is more than 100 kilometers away from Bangta City, and Archie was unwilling to follow him, causing him to lose his job. How is it possible now? Pay such a large sum of money to get these requirements.
Daddy Alfalia and Archie made an estimate. If you want to meet the requirements of the girl's parents, you have to spend at least two hundred gold coins.
Although the income of Father Afalia's family has improved a lot in the past two years, it has also been used to improve the family's life, but there is not much savings.
So the marriage between Archie and the girl could only be temporarily stalemate, and Archie's mood was getting lower and lower every day.
Looking at Archie sitting in silence across from him, Father Afalia remembered that he was always full of energy in the past. The giggling young son sighed a long time in his heart, glanced in the southwest direction, made up his mind secretly, and said, "Yaki. It's not the way to go on like this, you have to think about how to solve it?"
Archie smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "How to solve it? How can our family have so much money." After a pause, a look of pain flashed across his face, and continued: "Why don't you, Leia her parents If I have to raise such high conditions, I won't marry her if it's a big deal. Anyway, there are so many girls in this world, I'll find them later."
"Don't be silly!" Father Afalia immediately scolded him. "Leia is a good girl, and the conditions her parents put forward can't be said to be too high. After all, they are also for Leya to live a good life in the future. Well, Archie, you better not stay in the village, go out, Go somewhere else, find a good job, earn some money, and come back and marry Leya."
Yaqi was startled: "How about that? Big brother and second brother have moved out. I must stay and take care of you and mother."
Father Alfalia stared: "I have hands and feet with your mother, what do I want you to take care of? Listen to me, get out of here and find a good job. When you have money, Leia's Parents will rest assured that Leia will be handed over to you."
Seeing the expression on Father Afalia's face, Yaqi knew that this was a sign that his father had made up his mind, and that he knew that his refutation would only make him angry, he thought about it but smiled bitterly: "But father, I Where should I go to find a job? The chambers of commerce in Falling Rain Valley are already full of people. Even if I want to go now, I can’t find a suitable job, right? Besides, a salary of more than ten gold coins a month is not enough. I want to save two hundred More gold coins, at least two years."
"Raining Rain Valley is not good, you have to go further afield." Father Afalia shook his head.
Archie was stunned: "Dad, don't you want me to work in the Black Rice Wasteland? Although the salaries given by those chambers of commerce are quite high, it is the territory of the orcs, which is very dangerous."
"Of course I don't want you to go to such a dangerous place. I mean the place a little further away is the Principality of Standing." Father Afalia said.
Aci was completely stunned this time, and after a while, he said with an unbelievable expression: "Dad, you actually agreed with me to go to the Principality of Standing? It would take a week at the fastest to go back and forth from there even if all the carriages are used. If I If you go, it will be difficult to come back later. If something happens to you and your mother, I won't be able to come back in time. "
Father Alfalia smiled and said: "Who said you were only allowed to go alone? Tell you, my mother and I will also go this time. You didn't see the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and the Cantona Chamber of Commerce in the "Banta Daily" Is there a joint recruitment notice issued on ?? As long as we, old farmers with rich farming experience, are willing to move to the land leased by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Principality of Standing, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will directly subsidize us 100 gold coins. Then we can use it as a hurdle. The employees of the Tona Chamber of Commerce, contracting to plant farmland, can not only leave the food they need every year, but also receive an annual salary of 100 gold coins from the Cantona Chamber of Commerce. Just me and your mother can earn two dollars a year. Hundred gold coins."
"What about me?" Archie asked back. "What am I going to do?"
"Let you read the "Banta Daily" more, but you still don't listen." Father Afalia glanced at his young son with contempt. "The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will also open a mine and build a fruit canning factory in the Principality of Standing. As long as you are willing to go, are you afraid that you will not find a job?"
Archie thought about it carefully, couldn't help swallowing, and asked Father Afalia with some difficulty: "But father... If this happens, doesn't our family move away from here? Running to live in the Principality of Standing?"
"What are you worried about? Our house is still here, who would dare to tear it down?" Father Afalia glanced in the direction of Bangta City, and snorted coldly: "If it wasn't for this damn newcomer City Lord, we didn't have to move. But this damned guy is making us unable to live, what are we still doing here?"
Archie stared blankly at Daddy Alfalia, as if he was meeting him for the first time.
For the first time, he discovered that his father was in his fifties this year, but he was more adventurous than himself, a young man who was less than twenty years old.
It takes a lot of courage and perseverance to leave Bangta City, where I have lived for decades, and start anew in another country that is even thousands of kilometers away.
If it wasn't because he was worried about his marriage with Leia, I'm afraid Dad wouldn't make such a determination, right?
Thinking of this, Archie couldn't help but feel a deep sense of guilt in his heart, but then he thought of a very important question.
"But Dad, our family has all moved to the Principality of Standing. What about Leia? We're not here anymore, and Leya's family might ask her to find someone else to marry."
Father Alfalia smiled and said, "What? Boy, you keep talking about Leya all day long, but you haven't even heard about such an important thing. Let me tell you, I talked to Leya's dad yesterday. , In the end, his father told me that he had decided to go to the Principality of Standing to farm for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Cantona Chamber of Commerce, and asked me if I wanted to go with him."
Archie's eyes lit up: "Could it be that their family is also moving there?"
"Leia's father hasn't determined whether the family has moved in, because Leia told her father that she wants to stay with you. Hey, boy, you're so infatuated with a girl, you actually say you don't want it or not. , I really don't know what to do."
"Ah?" Archie was stunned for a while, looking at Daddy Afalia with a hint of narrowness on his face, in addition to sweetness, there was also a hint of shame and anger in his heart.
After a long time, he was played by his own father!
