Chapter 361: Cash-for-Work
There are many deeper issues, and if it is to help people get back to their old lives, repairing the house is the first step, and then it is necessary to find a solution for those who have lost their loved ones in the riots.
Sospai Sasha took Rooney and Avril with a group of former archons, and made a rough count of the people who died in the riots throughout the city, on the good side, the children killed in the riots were very few, almost negligible, the bad news is that most of the people who lost their lives were adults in the prime of life, they were the pillars of a family, whether it was hunting and farming, or working in the city, they also provided for the whole family, lost their only labor, the women left in the family, The future life of the elderly and children is very problematic.
Although Soth bought a large amount of food, there was always a day when the free supply was exhausted, and from the day he bought the food, Soth began to think about what would happen to those families if the food was eaten.
In the end, he came to the conclusion that they would collapse immediately, and that by relying on the food they could get without labor, they would only become more lazy and lose their normal ability to survive, and that if they were deprived of free relief food, the whole family would immediately fall into famine, and once they were given the habit of reaching out for food, Soth would probably immediately turn from a saint to a despicable miser, and Sos thought that it would not be strange at all if such a thing happened.
Sos does not intend to underestimate the survival ability of human beings, often the more desperate the situation, the more they can develop a person's potential, when the family is in a desperate situation, what they need is not free assistance, support at no cost, what they really need is a correct guidance, and what Sos wants to do is exactly this.
Soon a week after the end of the riots, he announced that he would end the city's free relief in three days, and announced a new relief plan, which was a set of plans to be saved by others, and to save himself first.
For example, a person involved in the construction of a house can get 20 copper plates and 2 buckets of rice a day, which is enough for a family of five to feed for two days, and 20 copper plates are enough to buy food for two days, that is, one day of work outside the home can be exchanged for four days of food, and if there are fewer people in the family, then they can eat longer.
In addition to building houses, Sos also deliberately provided many jobs suitable for women who were not physically strong and could not do heavy manual labor, such as weaving clothes, and the first thing he rebuilt was the textile factory, Sanafria was located in a well-connected place, although remote, but it was also the largest city in the vicinity, and almost all the merchants would come to Sanafria before or after going to these four weeks, and Sos's food was also bought through these merchants, They have contributed considerably to the stability of prices in the city, which is a testament to the number of businessmen who come here.
Of course, this is also after Soth simply killed a few merchants who tried in vain, raised prices, and hoarded goods to make a lot of money, not only killed all the people and merchants, but even the mercenary group they brought was killed by Soth, everyone's heads were cut off and hung on both sides of the road, and below Soth found someone to nail a wooden plank, which read: Raise prices - four big characters, since then, almost all merchants who come and go know that there is a ruthless consul living in this city, If you come according to his requirements, you will have money and safety, if you try to be clever, then you will be greeted by thunderous means, of course, there will be merchants who are not convinced, but Sos has dealt with them one by one, because these unconvinced businessmen, no one has seen them since then, as for whether there will be other forces behind them to retaliate in the future, Sos doesn't care so much, anyway, he is a rebel regime, and he is already an enemy of the entire kingdom and an evil organization, Seraphim, he is too lice to press, and he doesn't care about these at all.
In any case, at least this has stabilized Sanafaria's economy, and the hottest place in the city is the bazaar, which thrives as if there had never been a riot, and is even more prosperous than before, because Soth has canceled the high taxes set by the former consuls in order to accumulate wealth, which can be said to be a stick to give a sweet date, and the merchants are not fools, who will be idle to fight with the consuls when they have money, and leave the idle things to others to do.
The reason why Sos chose to be the first to restore the textile factory is not only to find a place for those women to work for relief, but also because of the foundation left by the former textile factory in Sanafriya, which can be said to be the most developed industry in Sanafriya, every year businessmen come here to buy cloth, so the gauze produced by female workers will not become waste, and Sos can also sell them, so that they can recover part of the funds and further reduce their own pressure, which is also the fundamental purpose of cash-for-work.
As for the elderly and children who are left with only no work left in their homes, as well as orphans who have lost their loved ones, there is also a large percentage, for whom Soth's plan is to replenish the army.
The so-called conscription of the army is not to directly capture all of them in the barracks as soldiers, Sos has not gone crazy to that extent, he has just established a place similar to a junior military academy, which is really funded by himself, and can be said to be the most expensive aspect of the restoration of Sanavria.
Soth used a few empty houses near the Archon's residence, and there are many of them in Sanafria to build a cadet military academy, mainly for orphans and children whose families have no one to work in.
The military academy will provide them with three meals, and will also distribute food to their families, and what they have to do is to study in this school, not only cultural knowledge, but also various combat skills, combat skills teaching, and physical training, etc., it can be said that this military school consumes the most energy of Soth, and he even plans to let Cromwell, Bruno, and Riley take time to give lectures in the military school.
Cromwell can talk about chivalry and battle strategy, while Bruno can teach them combat skills and some mercenary combat experience, Riley is a magician, so he is naturally the best at teaching cultural knowledge, and even if he can find a few children with the talent of magicians and let them learn magic along.
