Qin Feng instructed Jason: "Jason, the soldiers need to rest for a while after a long battle, and you have to arrange all this." Also, take Matt and his soldiers to the barracks to find a place to live first. ”
"Yes, my lord." Jason saluted.
Qin Feng took Chebman and Orlando, accompanied by the four daughters of Anna, back to the City Lord's Mansion. The servants who had received the news had already greeted him at the gate. "Welcome back to your lordship." (Is there a sense of déjà vu in costume dramas, hehe) Qin Feng waved his hand to signal everyone to get up, did not stop at his feet, and walked directly into the mansion, Chebman followed closely behind him.
The Orlando butler didn't go in, he got some servants and took them to Sophie and Kate. The little girl was talking about her brother Alan all day long, and the old housekeeper's ears were calloused. Now that Alan is finally back, the little girl is crazy and nowhere to be seen.
Since Chebman said that he had something important to look for him, Qin Feng took him directly to the conference hall. The two sat down, and their own maid served coffee to the two and stepped back.
"My lord, do you think the current development in the territory is normal?" After Chebman and the other servants stepped back, he couldn't wait to speak.
Qin Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Is there any problem?" I think the territory is developing very quickly, and there is nothing bad about it. “
"My lord, the current situation in the city of Kasia is very problematic. You seem to have forgotten something very important. Chebman said. The civilians of the city of Kasia were previously some displaced people, but you have kindly accepted them and prepared food and shelter for them, while they have to contribute to the construction of the territory. But now that these refugees have settled in the city of Kasia, you still distribute food to them as before, and in the long run, what is the difference between them and your slaves? ”
Chebman's words caused Qin Feng to reflect, yes, commerce is an indispensable factor for the prosperity and development of a city. And for the development of commerce, there must be money. One of the reasons why he didn't use money to hire the outcasts in Kasia was that he had a lot of food to consume, but the gold was a little short of other constructions. The second is that Kasia is the only one who has food, and he pays the wages of the homeless, and he feels that it is a bit too much to let them buy food from him. But now it is different, the construction of the city has been completed, not only are there many shops opened by civilians, but even the griffin chamber of commerce has established branches, but the currency in the hands of civilians is very small, there is not enough purchasing power, how can the economy develop. And over time, the attitude of the civilians towards him will also change, from the original gratitude to the future resentment, it is not a strange thing.
"You're right, although I had long considered hiring them for wages, but for other reasons, I chose to give them food. However, it is true that it is no longer suitable for the development of the territory. Qin Feng happily admitted his mistake.
"My lord, there's one more question." Chebman was still a little apprehensive at first, but when he saw that Qin Feng had adopted his first opinion, he felt a little relieved, and he continued: "Our territory is now economically backward, and the main reason for this is the lord. ”
"On me? Tell me why I'm the problem. Qin Feng was a little curious, for the development of the territory, almost all the construction was paid out of his own pocket, why was the economic backwardness still on him.
"Your lord, you have invested a lot of money in the construction of your territory, but this situation is only suitable for the beginning of the construction of your territory. Now that the infrastructure of our city has been completed, you should not invest in the future development. Chebman looked at Qin Feng very seriously and said.
"That's why, if I invest more money, wouldn't the development of Cassia City be faster?" Qin Feng asked puzzled.
"You can invest money in the military, education, public facilities, etc., but in the construction of other aspects such as economy and people's livelihood, we should attract other businessmen to come to Kasia City to invest, just like the Griffin Chamber of Commerce." Chebman still didn't dare to say something. If Qin Feng continued to invest, the entire city of Cassia would become Qin Feng's private property (although in a strict sense, it was true. But on the surface, it is still necessary to let more people come to Kasia to buy properties).
Qin Feng quickly understood the meaning of Chebman's words. He found Chebman to be an active and far-sighted man, and he admired the treasurer. I decided to cultivate it well. "Chebman, your two opinions are good. You go ahead and prepare a detailed plan, and I'll gather all the stewards in the realm to discuss it. “
Chebman happily took the order and left, but Qin Feng did not leave the conference hall. After listening to what Chebman had just said, he remembered another important thing. He recruited a large number of young and middle-aged soldiers among the civilian population, although he had previously provided daily necessities to the civilians of the entire territory, but now this situation needs to change.
In the past, soldiers were recruited, and civilians were grateful for Qin Feng's kindness and enthusiastically joined the army. In the future, when their lives are stable and prosperous, how many people will willingly join the army? If no one joins the army, then what will he do to protect the safety of the Cassia Territory? Therefore, it is now necessary to have a proper recruitment mechanism, and it is also necessary to formulate corresponding salary allowances for those who have already joined the army.
These questions gave Qin Feng a headache, he was originally just an ordinary university student, but now he had to think about this kind of problem, which was really difficult for him. Fortunately, there are still many people in the territory who can help him. He planned to divide the work within his territory into different departments, just like the countries on Earth.
Qin Feng thought about it for a long time, and felt that he still had to listen to everyone's opinions, so he put his mind down for the time being. Getting up and leaving the conference hall, a servant had already prepared hot water for him, Qin Feng took a bath happily, only feeling refreshed, which made his mood improve.
"Brother Allen, why don't you tell me when you come back." Sophie's crisp voice sounded outside the door, and before Qin Feng could speak, the door was pushed open from the outside. Sophie's hand pushing the door was still stretched out like that, and Kate was standing behind her, and both of them looked at the scene in front of them, both of them a little confused. Qin Feng was a little dumbfounded and hurriedly took a towel to cover his body, and shouted with an embarrassed and depressed face: "You guys don't go out yet!" ”
