Chapter 718: Changes in Immigration
The counting of the gold and the transfer of the gold to the Iva Treasury was given to Shiloh and Duland's vigilant legion. The fact that he pulled out the Scourge stronghold of Mill Town behind him and harvested a large amount of gold coins made Locke extremely happy.
From this time on, the western Tirisfal Glades was completely safe.
Riding on his horse, under the arch of the guards, Locke wondered what kind of problems Lordaeron still had now. But he soon discovers that the Forsaken of Sylvanas in the royal city of Lordaeron is now his greatest threat.
He didn't want to waste Lordaeron's hard-earned strength in the war with her, but she did threaten himself now. Due to the geographical location of Lordaeron's royal city, her Forsaken armies can attack their territory from any direction. Since the establishment of the Crusaders, they have never taken the initiative to attack her. Instead, her Forsaken once emerged from the ruins to attack herself.
Not only that, but she has four full-fledged main combat legions stationed outside the ruins of Lordaeron's Royal City, presumably she has dealt with it in the same way, focusing on herself while focusing on herself, while both of them are dealing with internal and external troubles while exploding troops.
Locke has the heart to eliminate the tense relationship with her, but he is afraid that the country will be held back. At the same time, it is unclear whether she and Sylvanas are friends or foes, and Locke is hesitant in his heart whether she will choose to settle the matter peacefully or start a war.
The encounter with Quel'Salas made Locke realize that she still had some consciousness in her lifetime. Locke felt that she was different from the cold, somewhat ruthless Banshee King in the game in his previous life.
The existence of this thought has always made him negative about his subordinates' proposed military action against Sylvanas. Moreover, Kalia's escape from the ruins of the royal city made him determined to use peaceful means to solve the problem of Sylvanas in the ruins of the royal city.
Why did the Forsaken join the Horde? Largely because the alliance doesn't accept them because of their identity issues. Secondly, there is also the reason why the then Generalissimo Garisers cooperated with her and was killed by her.
Honestly, Locke thinks both of these issues can be solved, especially since he is soon King of Lordaeron.
If you order that you can accept their existence, let them live in a designated living area, and let the living humans slowly get acquainted with them, will this problem be solved?
Aren't you Sylvanas lonely? I'll let your sister Winlessa warm your cold heart, okay? No, what about adding Noris? If not, what if I go to Lotherma?
Your family, subordinates, and former compatriots have come to persuade you, but can't you warm your cold heart?
There's always something you care about, right? At this time, you haven't reached the point where you are disappointed in all this, as long as you can relax, then the Forsaken will not talk about joining the Alliance, and it is always okay to become an independent group, right?
If you're looking for Alsace for revenge? That's better, we have a common enemy! This is the basis for cooperation! I can even make the nations of the Alliance give up their hatred of you for the sake of the Forsaken!
Is it okay to pay so much?!
Locke was tempted to tell Sylvanas all of this, but the Security Service didn't tell him to contact her.
Locke had long considered Sylvanas in a different way, she was a very poor woman, in every sense of the word. In a previous life she .... At least in this world, she hasn't done anything to humanity to the Alliance, and Locke has reason to believe that he can convince her to break away from the Horde and become an independent force.
As long as it's not a tribe, it's largely not hostile to the Alliance. And as long as the Lordaerons can accept the Forsaken as a group, will the rest of the Alliance be far away?
Locke's musings made Demetia frown, she could no longer see Locke's future.
Since Locke recovered from his injury, Demytia's desire to see his future has become more and more difficult, and countless golden rays have hidden all the fragments of his prophecies. She could only observe any fragments of Locke's shattered prophecies through others, indirectly.
The reason why she came here with Locke this time was because she had seen the prophecy fragments in the past. Of course, she also prophesied images of Locke becoming king in the past.
But that's not the main thing, Demitea also saw a lot of things that shouldn't exist in history in this operation.
She wanted to verify the authenticity of this fragment of prophecy, but her presence confirmed the accuracy of the prophecy to a certain extent. This made her wonder if she should tell Locke that the trip might be dangerous.
Silent and silent, the group soon came to a new town.
The avenue that runs through the entire Tirisfal Glade forks from here, and the trees on the left side of the road have been cut down extensively, allowing everyone in the group to clearly see the shadowy houses in the distance.
Berg, who had been waiting at this intersection for a long time, led a young nobleman to meet him.
"Lord Harvey, this is Bud." The civil magistrate introduced the young nobleman in front of him, "He is the administrative officer of the town, and he is in charge of everything in this town. ”
"Hello Lord Harvey, may the Light be with you."
This Bud still looks very young and even has freckles on his face... Locke thought helplessly, are these nobles perfunctory? Or do you want to give away all the children who can't inherit the title and occupy the position of political officer?
Feelings are still taken for granted, maybe the government officials can't affect their love for the land, and the mature government officer model in the future will still bring them benefits. Because the magistrates are still from their families?
In this way, it seems that the nobles can take either end.
Locke turned over and dismounted, and the guards took the reins of Locke's warhorse.
"Let's go, go in and have a look," Locke walked out with a displeased expression, which naturally could not escape the eyes of the civil magistrate and the political officer named Bud. Berg put Boud on the shoulder and motioned for him to lead the way.
However, what made Locke feel better was that after turning into the fork in the road, the road was not only widened to the sides with gravel paving, but also dug water channels on both sides. The trees on both sides of the road were cut down again and again, and the land near the road seemed to have been plowed and the black dirt had been turned out.
If you want to get rich and build roads first, this is not false at all! There are no roads, it is difficult to travel, how can any businessman come to this kind of place to look for business opportunities? And to Locke's relief, the road is no longer the usual dirt road, and there is no animal and human droppings.
"We built toilets in the town and it is strictly forbidden for anyone to defecate in the open. The manure is collected and waiting to be fertilized later. We are cultivating the land that can be cultivated until the land is enough for all of us to eat. The seeds that Master Berg gave us will be planted in the ground. ”
Bud saw that Locke's face was getting better and better, and he began to excitedly introduce to Locke what he had done in this land.
On the way to the town, Locke smiled and listened to the young nobleman's hopes for a better future for the town.
Seems like you're doing a good job?!
It seems that letting the second sons of the nobles come out to be government officials can stimulate their enthusiasm for doing something more?
They were the second sons of nobles and had no right to inherit the family business. They have to work their own, so wouldn't joining the king's system of magistrates just the right way to prove their passions and get the rights and status they want?
Hey! How could I not have thought of this?! Haha, Locke couldn't help but laugh. Shouldn't I give the order? Older people are not allowed to serve as administrative officers?
The closer you get to the town, the smoother and wider the road becomes.
The roads in the town were not as muddy as he had remembered, and the stones were padded underneath, and the crevices of the stones were full of sand from the river. Locke looked around at the civilians kneeling on the ground, their clothes shabby and their clothes patched. But their spirits were not the lifeless they had been in the past, and the excited looks on their faces and the cries of calling out to His Majesty were not fake.
Looking past them, newly built wooden houses were built in a patchwork along the unscattered marks on the ground. Under the barrier of the Shanshan, the road was formed, and the mechanical street lamps were also put in place by relying on the Shanshan.
It's a lot like Eva!
Locke couldn't hide the smile on his face, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with equipping grassroots small towns with administrative officers!
A humble inn, a grocery store with few goods, a tailor shop with only linen clothes, a blacksmith shop with only iron felt and a furnace... All the facilities in town are there!
Locke walked and watched and came to the town's only square.
All towns in Lordaeron must have a fountain pool in their squares, and this is no exception. The fountain erupts from the mouth of a stone statue carved into a fish, spitting into the pool with a rattling sound.
The church of the Church of the Light is to the north, the town hall where the magistrates live is to the south, the sheriff's garrison barracks is to the east, and the post office for communications is to the west.
Several officials followed behind him, constantly briefing Locke on the development of the town. Locke smiled as he walked, it seemed that concentrating on big things would really work!
There were only 36,000 people in the town, but it was these people who built houses for all in less than three months. Several canals and wells have been dug, land around the town has been reclaimed, and roads have been renovated.
The peaceful environment allowed this group of hard-working commoners, led by a nobleman eager to prove themselves, to do things that they had never thought of before.
The chemistry of these combinations was beyond Locke's expectations, as he hadn't been enthusiastic about the town in the first place...
If this town is like this, is it true that other towns are like this? If yes? Is it really possible to realize your own reform plan?
For the first time, Locke felt that it was really possible for the province system to be realized in this world!
