Chapter 340: Iva with Rapid Development
Locke's remarks were a little too shocking, and the priests below all looked at Locke with dumbfounded eyes, and the buzz immediately became louder. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
This is inconsistent with the teachings of the Church of Light.
The priests sitting on the right were a little overwhelmed at first, but they reacted immediately, much to Locke's surprise. They are talking about whether or not to do this, whether it will have any bad effects, and so on.
There was no discussion about what Locke was doing, whether it violated the essence of the Light, as if everyone agreed with Locke's suggestion at once.
As for the officers sitting on the left, they were much calmer, and many even shouted in favor of Locke's proposal.
"That's it! Then the matter is settled! ”
Locke waved his hand, and the chatter in the room subsided, and everyone looked up at him calmly.
"In the future, if there is a similar thing about betraying us Eva, then do it! Whatever his reason! Do you understand?! ”
Locke calmly looked at Shiloh, who was sitting at the front on the right below, "When you hang those people, you must do it in the market square." There, as I understand it, that's where we have the most traffic in Iwa. At the same time, arrange for sharp-tongued soldiers or clergy to preach the sins committed by these people around and unite the hearts of our Iwa people! Strengthen our cohesion! ”
"Maybe you don't understand why I'm doing this now," Locke said with a smile as he glanced down at the priests who were looking at him in bewilderment, "and you'll understand what I was doing later." ”
"That's it! Move on to the next topic! ”
Without waiting for the other pastors to say anything, Locke skipped the question.
"Great Lord, then let me give you a detailed introduction to the specific situation of our Iva civil affairs."
Baron Berg, who was sitting in the first row in the middle, stood up first, smiled and bowed to everyone sitting in the room, and then looked at Locke and spoke.
"Thanks to the appreciation of the High Lord, the help of the High Prosecutor, Miss Shiloh, and the assistance of all the adults here. We, Eva, have been on a good streak," Berg pulled out a piece of paper from his body and read it as Locke nodded, as if he had been prepared.
"For one, we in Iva now have a population of 353451, of which more than 80,000 have been diverted to our port. More than 50,000 people were transferred in turn to the five towns that had been built around our Iva. ”
"From Crussel at the entrance to the Haru Gorge to Alek Farm near Seberchel, most of our farmland is on both sides of the road. Therefore, the next step is to establish towns at the main forks in the silver pine forest in the north to disperse the surplus idle population of Iva and make full use of the abandoned arable land. ”
"Second, grain production has greatly exceeded expectations. With the help of the Gnoll Druids, we have grown more grain than Andohar once were, reaching maturity three times a year. Every time the grain matures, we harvest more than 30,000 tons of grain. Now, our warehouses are full of grain, and the grain we bought from the goblins last year has begun to be used to make wine. ”
"Thirdly, Iva, as a town, is not well equipped and planned to be the capital of our region. The stonemasons and others are asking us to build a new city to match the big city of our Silver Pine Forest. ”
"As soon as you choose a location, the stonemasons will immediately start designing the drawings, preparing the materials, and building our new big city! A majestic city that matches our Iwa people! ”
Berg's speech ended, and there was a lot of talk in the room. Especially for the last proposal to build a city, the most people talked about it, and even the priests and officers exchanged their heads with each other.
"Ahem, ahem." Locke coughed a few times, and the chatter below faded away.
"As for the issue of population, it is still the same as before, as many people as there are." Locke got up and opened the map of the Silver Pine Forest behind him, he picked up the wooden stick placed aside and drew circles around the large area of the Silver Pine Forest, "In the future, this large area will be the area under our rule, and in this land covering an area of 78,800,000 square kilometers, more than 700,000 people are a lot?" Not much, after scattering, it is estimated that there are not a few people in sight for thousands of miles. ”
Locke's words made the eyes of the officers present light up, especially the several corps commanders, who pricked up their ears and listened carefully to the meaning of Locke's words.
"And what is in this land, you should know very well. Timber, minerals, various precious metals, etc. If we want to defend our homeland and expel the undead from the land, then all this is inseparable from people. So, the civilians continue to converge, as many as they want. As Berg said, set up towns to house them on the main transportation routes, and let them reclaim the abandoned land. Build new lumber yards, mines, fishing, and train all kinds of skilled workers. These all need people. ”
"So, the issue of population, this matter doesn't need to be brought up anymore, understand? Berg! ”
Locke looked at him, and the latter replied in the affirmative.
"Food," Locke pondered for a moment, then looked up at Shiloh and asked, "How much grain do we send to the Tirisfara Glade each month?" ”
"From 1,000 tons to 5,000 tons, there used to be more shipments, but now there are only so many." Shiloh thought for a moment and continued, "Now the situation of food shortage has changed in Tirisfa. Much of the arable land has been repurposed, and there has been less dependence on us. However, because we have the help of the druids, the grain production is much higher than theirs, so they still rely on us more. ”
Locke waved his hand for Shiloh to sit down, and he looked at Norris, who was sitting in the far corner of the officer's side. This High Elf girl was counting her fingers in boredom.
"At the meeting in Hearthvale, I made a promise to our other leaders. Offices will be set up in the cities under their control, which will be used to contact them directly, to deliver food and armaments to them, etc. This is when this is the time for the Silver Pine Forest to show that it is strong, so don't forget about this matter, come up with a plan as soon as possible, and I hope that this office will appear in all the places we are covered by the Crusaders as soon as possible. The specifics, you stay after the meeting is over for a while, and we'll talk about it in detail. ”
Shiloh got up and answered Locke.
"About the building of the city."
Locke was a little surprised to find that these people were obviously very concerned about this matter, far more concerned than he had just said, and it could be seen from their expressions.
The legionnaires, judges, wardens, and other priests who had nothing to do with civil affairs all looked at Locke with great interest, why is this?
"Iva is growing a little fast, faster than I imagined, and I thought that Iva would last at least two years. When we stabilized, we were thinking about building a new city, but now it is obviously impossible. So! The wooden stick in Locke's hand pointed on the map, where the port of Iva is at the mouth of the sea, and dotted it from time to time, "I have decided that our new city will be built here!" It will be a big city with a big port. ”
