Chapter 1194: 374. The vicissitudes of time_3

This festival was only recently established, with Revival City chosen as the venue.

At the same time, the Empire also decreed that, starting from this day of the festival, all industries in Revival City would be exempted from taxation for the next five years.

If previously Revival City was merely a lost territory recovered from the hands of the Undead Cult, now it became the apple of every merchant, speculator, and gold-digger’s eye.

Moreover, the Empire announced a plan to expand Revival City, predicting that its size would triple in the next five years.

According to the Empire’s plan, five years from now, Revival City would transform into a major metropolis with over ten thousand acres of farmland, more than five hundred workshops, three train stations, and a dozen railways.

It would ultimately present itself to the Empire’s citizens as an extremely important frontier city.

Morster sent this letter to Noland Lee to ask if he was interested in establishing some industries within Revival City and hopping on this train to riches.

It’s worth mentioning that when this letter arrived in Noland Lee’s hands, the Empire had not yet officially announced this news to the public.

Noland Lee also benefited from Morster’s clout, as it gave him the opportunity to be one step ahead of others.

Wait a minute, let’s set aside the wealth for now.

Noland Lee pinched the letter paper, a hint of doubt flashing through his mind.

He wasn’t interested in Revival City’s five-year plan, as he had plenty of ways to make money.

There were a few things he didn’t quite understand:

Had the undead threats around Revival City been completely eradicated?

And, had the Underground River polluted by the Undead Cult been purified?

With the underground threats yet to be pulled out and the pollution still uncleared, why did the Empire decide to hold a grand festival in Revival City now?

Had they gone mad?

Noland Lee faintly sensed that something was amiss.
