Extreme Cold Era: Shelter Don't Keep Waste-Chapter 693 - 647: Beloburg

The train that Perfikot took arrived at Beloburg, the second largest city in the Northern Territory.

For Perfikot, she actually didn't have a very deep impression of this city.

Although it wasn't her first time here, she was almost always in a rush and didn't have much of an in-depth understanding of this city.

Although the city was built under her planning, Perfikot's main focus was at Eagle's Beak Cliff at the time, and after Chernobyl was constructed, she basically stayed in Chernobyl without paying much attention to Beloburg.

This is somewhat inevitable, considering Beloburg was originally designed as a port city, it was indeed quite prosperous and busy when a large amount of supplies entered the Northern Territory through sea routes at the start.

New immigrants also landed here as their first stop, and many current residents of the Northern Territory had their first impression of the Northern Territory from the busy port of Beloburg.

However, as the ocean froze and sea routes were gradually blocked, Beloburg's once-busy port became a useless display, and the city grew desolate.

After the glamour faded, Beloburg was filled with bleakness everywhere.

Perfikot had paid attention to this and even sent people to investigate, collecting information to seek strategies to improve the city's status.

Yet, before she could address this, the relocation of the Imperial Center injected new vitality into this city, which was somewhat a fortunate mishap.

The Imperial Center and the Royal Family moving into Beloburg brought new economic growth points to this city, as those nobles were long accustomed to a life of luxury.

Even though both material supply and income level significantly declined upon arriving in the Northern Territory, they still strived to maintain the so-called aristocratic dignity.

The large consumption stimulated market demand, naturally causing towns around Beloburg to begin providing various outputs to the city, making the entire economy start to move.

Of course, if it were only like this, when those nobles were exhausted, Beloburg would face another round of decline.

Yet, in this aspect, whether it's Perfikot, the Imperial Center, or the nobles themselves, they are smart enough to know not to sit idly and consume without replenishment.

Thus, the nobles invested in many factories and industries, attempting to restore their ability to regenerate wealth through this means, so as not to rely solely on the property they brought to the Northern Territory for survival.

In this regard, Beloburg is indeed a good investment choice.

After all, the city is emerging, despite having experienced a period of prosperity followed by desolation, the duration was brief, overall, the city still holds many opportunities and enough labor force.

However, the drastic environmental changes brought many problems to Beloburg, while the nobles' investments once again invigorated the city.

As Perfikot's train entered Beloburg, she could see the bustling streets, busy train station, and the crowd shuttling back and forth, which gave her a momentary illusion of having returned to Langton of the past.

"It seems like Beloburg's economic development is good, it's much busier compared to the last time I came." Standing by the train window, watching the flow of people outside, Perfikot's face showed more than a few approving nods.

Though previously she would occasionally visit Beloburg, it was always with a corresponding purpose, often coming and going quickly, leaving her little time to pay attention to the city itself.

Now, calming herself to focus specifically, she suddenly realized the city has undergone tremendous changes unbeknownst to her.

"The presence of the Imperial Center brought many new demands to this city, promoting the development of commerce, a large portion of the people you see now are those who come from surrounding towns to work," a hurriedly arriving Beloburg municipal official explained to Perfikot.

As an official of Beloburg, he is undoubtedly part of the Northern Faction, which is quite common in the city's municipal bureaucratic system.

After all, this is still a Northern Territory city, municipal affairs are firmly in the hands of the Northern Faction.

But the presence of the Imperial Center brought a large number of nobles, officials, and population from Langton and the Empire to here, especially the Imperial Center itself, which has a significant impact on the city.

Particularly, when those nobles entered this city, they instinctively started looking for their ecological niche, naturally leading to some conflicts and exchanges with the local Northern Faction.

Some officials who still sentimentally remember ties with the Empire's homeland leaned towards them, but many persisted in their own stance.

This Perfikot was aware of as well, but she didn't take it to heart.

Both the Northern Faction and the Imperial Center faction are merely entangled in political interests, with no inherent conflict in principles.

"Working in the city? How do they solve their housing issues? Do you have relevant arrangements for commuting?" Upon hearing this, Perfikot reflexively asked the two inevitable questions.

The official promptly nodded in agreement and replied, "We have considered all these, among the people working in the city, some who live close travel daily by train for commuting, we have opened small trains to provide convenience for them.

Moreover, we are laying narrow-gauge railways to towns that are slightly farther away or not connected by railways to try increasing transportation convenience."

"That sounds quite good, but if they are not commuting daily, where do they live? Have you made arrangements?" Perfikot affirmed the city's municipal responses mentioned by the official.

The official quickly nodded, affirming, "Yes, yes, we have built some low-rent apartments, though the housing conditions are slightly poorer, the necessary living facilities are all available, and related guarantees are in place to ensure that there are no issues with the accommodation for migrant workers."

"Really? Then take me to see it later, I want to see with my own eyes what's going on with these low-rent apartments you mentioned." Perfikot didn't hold back, nor did she blindly trust the official's words, but rather prepared to visit and observe firsthand.

The official showed no signs of panic, still with a confident demeanor, making Perfikot feel he was probably not lying.

This is a good sign, at least proving Beloburg's situation is indeed good.

"Count, the city hall has arranged a welcoming banquet for you, do you want to attend?" The official, seeing Perfikot in a good mood, finally asked the main purpose of his visit.

Although Perfikot previously would not attend such banquets, the city hall of Beloburg dared not not prepare one, just in case she was in a good mood and willing to attend?

"A banquet? This could be an opportunity to learn about this city." Perfikot slightly nodded, then said, "Inform the city hall, I will attend."
