Chapter 163: Major Construction and Planning (2nd Update)
With a sudden influx of more than half a million people, the newly built town of Stratholm was filled to the brim. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Ordinary people can't live on polluted land, and Benny can only assign some of his personnel to live on ships.
"Boom-----" A soldier in armor stood on the dock and rang a bronze bell, and the people around him gathered up.
"Listen, everyone!" the accompanying mage used magic to amplify his voice, making sure everyone could hear it. "We now need stonemasons, carpenters, and all the craftsmen who build houses! All those who are not craftsmen and who have not been assigned a job can also apply for other jobs at the 'registry office'! Stonemasons are paid ----- daily wages."
Before the soldier finished speaking, the surrounding people had all rushed towards the 'registration office' in the soldier's mouth, this was the third recruitment, the first two only recruited some buildings with experience in building large buildings, listening to their families, they were going to help design the overall urban planning, the farmers did not know what the urban master plan was, but they knew that the recruited people would be paid, as long as they took the 'work badge' they issued to themselves, they could go to the house next to the registration office to receive it. It is said that Lord Smith borrowed money from the elves in order to take care of them, and Lord Smith was sent by the Light to redeem them in their eyes.
"Who spread the word about borrowing money. Benny frowned, his fingers tapping on the table.
"Ahem. Gavinrad was a little embarrassed. "It should have been accidentally dispersed, and there are many people who know about it. β
Benny sighed, "Don't do any more of this useless propaganda. β
"Those nobles have been waiting outside for a long time, do you want to meet them?" Gavinrad quickly changed the subject, these things are from the church, and Benny has always been very fond of them.
"Count Agamande, what the hell are they going to do?" it was not the first time that these nobles had asked to see him, and after pushing it a few times, these people still came every day, just like everyday.
"Your Excellency, they are for the construction of the new city. Agamande smiled awkwardly. "They want a place in the newly built city. β
"As I have already said, by handing over Lordaeron's original fiefdom, I will divide a residential plot of land for them in the city. "Do you want to occupy a piece of land in Stratholme for nothing, when he is a fool!
"Your Excellency, this is difficult, the fief deed is more important to them than their lives. "For Agamand himself, the same.
"Tell them that I only give them two paths. Benny sat up straight. "First, the original fiefdom deed will be temporarily handed over to the 'Dawn Light', and the newly built city will divide a piece of land for them, and we will talk about this issue later after recovering the whole of Lordaeron. Second, they hold the fiefdom deed themselves, and the newly built urban area will not have their land, however, Stratholm will have a part of the 'commercial area' for sale, and they can buy it!"
Agamande hesitated a little embarrassed, but still bowed: "I will convey it to them." β
Benny nodded: "Let the nobles handle their own affairs, I don't have that much time to care about them." β
Agamande retreated to his seat and wiped the sweat from his forehead, the eyes of the paladins and elves around him were a little strange.
"Havinfa. β
The priestess stood up and bowed slightly.
"What about the soldiers' bereavements and funerals, as well as the comfort of their families?"
"Preparations are underway for the funeral and the comfort of the family is underway. In terms of bereavement benefits----"
"There's no need to worry about money. Benny knew what she was worried about, and the church's money was already running out. "I'll ask Agamander to send you the money according to the list of the dead. β
"Yes. Havinfa retreated.
"As for the elves and dwarves, I am deliberating with His Highness Kael'thas and His Highness Magni, and it may be a little later. β
The dwarves and elves below nodded.
"Count Agamande. β
Godflin, who was thinking about something, hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"How's the recruitment of artisans going?"
"There is already a bit of a surplus of craftsmen in charge of the construction of the city, and the land is not being purified quickly, and they often have to wait for the land to be cleaned before they can start work. β
"Continue to recruit craftsmen, and I'll solve this problem. "The problem of purifying the land is more difficult than Benny imagined, and the Holy Light has unexpectedly had little effect on the polluted land, so he has to take a trip to Kalimdo to ask Malfurion.
"And the recruitment list you gave, there are a lot of people we don't have jobs to arrange, why don't we get rid of them first?" Agamander didn't understand why he was recruiting people who seemed useless to the current situation, such as ---- farmers, who simply didn't have land for them to plant.
"Put them in the logistics department first, I can use these people. β
"Yes. β
"Any other questions?"
"No more. β
Benny nodded, "Do the others have any questions?"
Everyone was silent, and Benny turned his head: "Your Royal Highness?"
Kael'thas shook his head.
"Lieutenant Colonel Stubborn?"
The bearded dwarf quickly shook his head, he was just the commander of these dwarves, he was not qualified to participate in these things, before leaving, His Majesty the King had specially instructed him to only fight, regardless of anything else.
"So. Benny stood up. "That's all for today, except for Count Agamand and all the military commanders, let everyone else go back to their posts. β
Everyone came out, and the room was instantly much more spacious.
"Come here. Benny beckoned to the commanders, took the map handed by the guards and threw himself on the table.
"His Royal Highness the Prince and I will tell you about the next military plan of action. β
The crowd gathered around, and Benny clicked on the map. "Here, the border of Quel'Thalas, the undead camp there is expected to be cleared by tomorrow morning, the undead inside Quel'Thalas have not yet found any movement, I would like to hear what you think about the march into Quel'Thalas. β
You look at me, I look at you, and they are all silent.
"Everybody talk about it. Two people's ideas will always have fewer holes than one's ideas, right? Benny smiled and patted Gavin Rad. "Let's start with Commander Gavin Rad. β
"Okay. Gavinrad clicked on the map. "I think our biggest problem is resupply. In this regard, we have the advantage that we do not need ammunition replenishment, which can significantly reduce the burden of replenishment. The downside is that we're all contaminated with undead and have to rely on supplies for clean food and water!, but we're less than two days away from the border with Quel'Salas, and the supply team is even slower, about two days. And once we get into Quel'Thalas, the supply lines will continue to stretch until we can't take it anymore. β
Gavinrad looked up and signaled that he was done. (To be continued.) )
