Chapter 152 Planning of the New East District
After the Inquisition was pulled out, the only force left to confront the alchemists was the Inquisition.

With the old leader of the Radiant Knights blocking the door with his men, the efficiency and reliability of the intelligence received by the alchemists was greatly reduced. The other forces on their side were either not strong enough to see the small moves of the Radiant Knights, like the city defense army, or they had noticed the problem but did not want to waste too much energy to find out the truth.

Therefore, while the Inquisition attracted all the attention, the Radiant Knights and Roland also quickly put various plans into practice.

Except for the old leader and his men, most of the members of the Glorious Knights in Ginza were transferred to the East District.

The extraordinary people's hands-on ability is naturally not bad. Ordinary spellcasters may not be very good in physical strength, but for the extraordinary knights, physical strength is their strong point.

Even if he was just a knight's squire, he could do more work than dozens of ordinary people, not to mention the knights of the first, second, third, or even fourth level.

With their well-organized cleaning, the countless piles of garbage in the East District were uniformly placed in several newly built large warehouses. After the garbage was disposed of, Roland also cast a spell to bring rain to wash the entire East District, cleaning up the messy East District that was full of all kinds of tiny filth.

Of course, the civilians in the East District would not just stand by and watch what the Radiant Knights did.

Although the Glowing Knights came to do good things, for the civilians living in the garbage dump, the Glowing Knights are just destroying their last home.

Therefore, although many civilians chose to stand by and watch or escape, there were still some people who resisted.

In this regard, the Radiant Knights also discussed first. If they could not convince the person, they would not show mercy and would just knock him out and capture him.

At the same time, the Radiant Knights will continuously transport a large amount of resources prepared in advance to the East District, providing basic living supplies and free purification treatments to gain the trust of civilians. At the same time, they will also send administrative personnel to try to recruit workers among civilians.

The Radiant Knights are naturally kind to civilians and are willing to give them time and space to get used to it.

However, the Radiant Knights are not so kind to the evil elements who are parasitic inside and rely on oppressing civilians. No matter if they join voluntarily or get involved passively, as long as they feel that something is wrong, there is only one result, and that is death.

The one-size-fits-all approach of the Radiant Knights is bound to lead to false convictions and wrongful convictions. There will always be some people whose crimes do not deserve the death penalty, but the East District is too large, and the Radiant Knights are only an order of knights. They do not have the energy to make detailed distinctions between criminals.

By killing criminals indiscriminately and providing daily necessities and free medical treatment to civilians, using a stick in one hand and candy in the other, the Knights of Radiance naturally handled the entire East District with ease.

After all, the East District is full of poor people. There are only a few mediocre extraordinary people in the vast East District, and there are not many first-level extraordinary people. They can't stop the Radiant Knights at all.

After the entire East District was controlled and cleaned up, construction was naturally not left behind.

In order to meet the housing needs of the huge population in the East District, the Radiant Knights transported in a large amount of building materials, maintained and repaired all the dilapidated houses, and built three- and four-story buildings to accommodate all the homeless families.

Since there were too many buildings to be built by the Radiant Knights, even though the Radiant Knights had made preparations and brought in a large amount of building materials from outside, it was still not enough. They could only purchase a large amount in Ginza, which caused the prices of various cheap building materials in Ginza to rise a lot.

In addition to the housing problem, there is also the job problem.

There are too many people in the East District, but too few jobs to offer them. As a result, the civilians in the East District have no bargaining power and can only compete for these few job opportunities in order to survive. As a result, there are more and more jobs, but less and less money. If the Radiant Knights cannot provide them with enough jobs, the East District will sooner or later return to its previous state. After all, the Radiant Knights cannot support them forever.

In fact, this is also one of the reasons why the Radiant Knights have been unable to solve the problems in the East District.

Even if the Radiant Knights could build a handicraft workshop to absorb a huge workforce, if they wanted to stuff all the excess labor into the workshop, the labor cost would have to be multiplied several times. It would be too difficult to make a profit from ordinary handicraft products.

The market for handmade products in Ginza is not big. Even if the price is reduced, it is difficult to grab much of the market. Although it can be shipped out and sold in other places, the profit may not be as high as the shipping cost.

Therefore, even if there is sufficient labor force, it is useless for the handicraft workshop to have a high output. Once a certain output is reached, any further output will become a pure loss-making business.

This means that the Radiant Knights will have to fill a few more blood-draining slots.

The Radiant Knights already have enough blood-draining slots, and if a few more come, they will really be drained dry.

However, the solution provided by Roland solved their problems.

Since an ordinary handicraft workshop cannot support so many people, what about an alchemy workshop?

Roland knew that the most serious pollution in the East District came from the alchemy workshops. While targeting the alchemists' alchemy workshops, Roland was also thinking about how to replace their ecological niche in Ginza.

If their ecological niche in Ginza is not eliminated or replaced, then even if the final judgment of the trial court is implemented, they will make a comeback sooner or later.

In the era before the birth of Alchemy and the Artifact Academy, both alchemists and artifact masters were relatively rare professions.

In today's world, even the lowest-grade alchemical products are quite expensive.

It is through the alchemy workshops that alchemists can accumulate such astonishing wealth, which is enough for them to bribe various forces and pay the huge compensation demanded by the Inquisition.

Moreover, alchemical products are quite convenient to transport and have higher profits, which is enough to support the Radiant Knights to transport goods to other cities.

Therefore, Roland provided some alchemical potion blueprints to the Radiant Knights, such as: healing potion, anti-poison potion, and purification potion.
Although they are just some of the most basic alchemical potions, the market for basic potions is the largest.

The profit is not as great as that of advanced potions, but basic potions require more manpower and can absorb more workers. At the same time, the manufacturing process is simpler and easier to understand. Even the Knights of the Radiant Knights who have never been exposed to alchemy can learn it.

At the same time, it also provides a way out for alchemists, opening up the market for basic potions and focusing on advanced customized potions.
