Chapter 720: The top priority at the moment
In the foreseeable next three to five months, Night City will be able to accept tens of thousands more, to say the least, to almost 100,000. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
100,000 people may not be able to catch up with a small county town in the real world, but in Middle-earth, it is an out-and-out super city.
With so many people gathered together, the issue of people's livelihood is undoubtedly the biggest problem, but for Zhao Ze, who came from the Star Wars world, this point is the simplest.
First of all, food, there are several large fields in the city of Night City, which are used to plant the super high-yield seeds that Zhao Ze found in the Star Wars world, not only the planting cycle is small, but the amount after harvest is even more terrifying, so that Bud, the archer who was temporarily assigned by Zhao Ze as the temporary mayor of the town, has to feel unbelievable about this.
How could Bard not be surprised when the total area of the land is exactly the same, the harvest on one side is more than ten times that of the other, and the planting cycle is only one-tenth of that on the other side?
Even if there is no need to open up more fields outside the city, the fields in the city are enough to feed more than 100,000 people, and this alone has achieved a fully closed internal circulation ecosystem.
Of course, Zhao Ze will definitely not do this, and besides, he can't let his subordinates only eat staple food and not eat meat and vegetables, right?
This aspect is also very easy to solve, Zhao Ze took out the cubs of pigs, cows, sheep and other livestock from the Star Wars world, as long as the feeding can keep up, the growth rate is more than ten times that of the livestock in the Middle Earth Continent, and there is no need to mention seeds such as vegetables and fruits.
All in all, if you want to feed more than 100,000 or 200,000 people, it is really not difficult for Zhao Ze.
But for the freedmen of Middle-earth, this is a great blessing.
Not every human being is a national of Gondor and the Rohanate, and there are also many human forces in the form of tribes in Middle-earth, such as barbarians and pirates, who have been oppressed by Gondor and the Rohan for a long time, and the pressure to survive is not small, which can be described as difficult.
Now a city in the dark city has suddenly appeared, and it has promised to feed every citizen, and the free people who have many days of life have begun to move in the direction of the city of the night.
Before you know it, the development of Night City is starting to get on the right track, and from the very beginning, it has entered a high-speed development stage.
After another three months, the total population of Night City finally officially exceeded 100,000, becoming the first city in the history of Middle-earth to exceed the 100,000 mark.
By this time, the City of the Dark Night had finally become a bit of a thriving city, and it could finally be called a megacity.
However, there is also a disadvantage to having too many people, that is, the sharp deterioration of the law and order situation.
Because many of the people who have come to settle here are masters who have not been very peaceful before, such as criminals wanted by Gondor and Rohan, or a tribe that has moved into the city as a whole, individuals or organizations like this belong to the kind of goods that cannot be counted on when there is something to do, and they have to be guarded against when they have nothing to do.
Faced with the current situation, Zhao Ze sent out the widow sister, the white queen and Mrs. Carthus in one go, and the three of them are also the most capable women around Zhao Ze at present.
In fact, letting the three of them govern a "small city" of 100,000 people is simply overkill, but the widow sister and the three of them also feel a little bored, and they just take this job, purely to relieve their worries and boredom.
The widow served as the Supreme Commander of the garrison in Night City - the equivalent of the chief of police.
The White Queen is the first boss of the intelligence supervision department and the security department, and with her telepathic ability, it is really not too easy to find the unstable elements.
As for Madame Carthus, she was temporarily appointed as the vice-lord of Night City, and had the right to make arrangements for the next development plan of Night City.
As soon as these three men took office, the law and order situation in Night City immediately improved, and within three days, it was completely cured.
In just three days, no less than a thousand heads were hung high above the city, all of them unscrupulous people trying to wreak havoc in the Night City, to loot the city, or to see if there was a chance to take over the city and drive its original owner out.
Due to the slow nature of the transmission of information in Middle-earth, as well as the variability of the transmission process, these people obviously did not know enough about Night City, and they thought that Smaug could do whatever they wanted in his absence, but they ran into a hard nail and trapped themselves in it.
The damned people are dead, and the atmosphere in the city has taken on a new look, and I dare not say that the road is not left behind, but it is basically the same level as the domestic security situation in the real world.
It won't take more than a few days to become a legendary paradise.
With the improvement of the city's environment, some people who really have a sense of belonging to the city in the night have also begun to take the initiative, including wanting to join the military and political departments to play their part for the city.
There are really not a few similar people, the only regret is that the illiteracy rate is too high, and there are less than one hundred literate people out of 100,000 natives of the original plane.
Since Zhao Ze planned to regard Middle-earth as one of the fixed footholds in the future, he naturally couldn't tolerate that his people were ignorant citizens, so the issue of education became the top priority at present.
Speaking of education, the knowledge of this world is almost monopolized by the royal family and nobles, and in the human world, illiteracy is the norm, even in the Shire region where hobbits live, there are a large number of halflings who are illiterate.
Like Bilbo. Baggins and Frodo. Uncle Baggins' uncle and nephew are undoubtedly a minority of the few.
In view of this, Zhao Ze simply instructed Mrs. Carthus to issue a new decree, that is, all lords under the age of eighteen must undergo a three-month compulsory literacy study.
Don't talk about anything else, at least you have to be able to read and understand the words.
There will be a deeper level of detailed education in the future, but it is not needed at this stage for the time being, because Zhao Ze does not have enough teachers in his hands.
Ironically, there is no such thing as a teacher in this world, and there are ministers, but that usually refers to one-on-one teaching and teaching, and mainly in a father-to-son manner.
From this point on, it is said that there is no difference between Middle-earth and medieval Europe.
Not surprisingly, the decree promulgated by Zhao Ze caused an uproar among all the people, and everyone did not dare to oppose it on the surface, but they did not think so in their hearts, thinking that this move was purely a waste of time and energy.
Zhao Ze didn't have time to explain clearly to these stupid people, he directly took out the killer idea-don't you want to make more money? Yes! Anyone who comes to class can get money! And if you have a fast learning pace and good grades, you can get more!
In a word: want to make money? Just study hard!
