Lying on the bed, Lei Zhe couldn't sleep for a long time, and now the question he had to worry about was naturally when the black dragon would attack Roster City, but this problem was too difficult.

It takes not only money to develop a city, but also a lot of time, once the city of Roster is abandoned, it is a question whether it can be developed for most of his life, and such a feeling of aggrieved is also unbearable for Lei Zhe.

"It seems that it is time to promote development, and I don't know if it will come in a hurry. ”

"Brother. ”

"Who?"

"Eiffel. ”

"What's wrong?" looked at the door strangely, Erin in the big night was very likely to come to him, but it was Eiffel who was a little strange, this girl's independence made Lei Zhe a little impressed.

"I have something to ask my brother. ”

"Come in. ”

The door was pushed open, and the servant came in with a lantern behind him and lit the oil lamp.

"What does Eiffel want to ask?"

"Sister Sophia......"

"Sophia returns to her ......"

"Brother, please don't lie to me. ”

Looking into Eiffel's eyes, Lei Zhe was silent.

"You go out first. ”

"Yes, sir. The maid nodded, leaving the room, closing the door by the way.

"Sophia's purpose is the Dragon Scale Blade of the Wells family, and saving you is one of their plans. ”

"How could it be ......"

"I know you may not believe it, my brother reacted the same way as you at the beginning, but when the truth happened in front of me, my brother had to recognize the reality. Lei Zhe smiled bitterly.

"Brother. ”

"It's okay, Eiffel is still young, and my brother would like to thank them for not really targeting you. Patting Eiffel's little head, Lei Zhe took a deep breath, and no matter how low his emotions were, he couldn't convey them to the little girl in front of him.

"Doesn't my brother hate Eiffel's identity?"

"Why does my brother hate you? ”

"Because my brother never bothered with Eiffel before. ”

"Silly girl, my brother apologizes to you. ”

"Brother is not wrong. ”

"Nobody's right, it's late, let's go back to bed. ”

Eiffel hesitated for a moment and then got into Lei Zhe's quilt, Lei Zhe was stunned and then chuckled, no matter how obedient and mature he was, Eiffel's age was only seven years old.

Once because of his identity, the original owner of Lei Zhe's body can be said to be extremely disgusted with mother and son, but because of his father Tolter, he can only choose to turn a blind eye, and it is normal to ignore this sister relatively.

When the next day came, Lei Zhe didn't snooze and got up directly, took a look at Eiffel who was still asleep, smiled, and put on his clothes and went to the study.

"Adolf, prepare to prepare, prepare today to issue a new decree. ”

Adolf nodded, stood aside, bent down respectfully and waited for Lei Zhe's order, this count had already convinced him.

"Is there still a wasteland in the east of the city?"

"Yes, sir. ”

"Order reclamation!"

"Your Excellency...... Now the serfs are too busy to cultivate the land, and it may be useless to cultivate it again. ”

"Hmph, what do you mean by being too busy, the meat on those people is not grown in vain, and they are unwilling to do it because the taxes are too high, and now the taxes have been reduced by two percent, if there is a chance to get more harvests, those civilians will definitely work hard like serfs. ”

Profit is an excellent way to drive humanity forward.

"One silver coin for each acre of land cultivated, and an additional ten gold coins for each civilian with the highest harvest. ”

"Your Excellency...... This. ”

"There's nothing wrong with this, write it down for me, how many craftsmen are there in the city?"

"There are not many craftsmen in Rost City, because of the identity of the craftsman, so it is ......"

"The craftsman assessment system is opened, and the craftsmen who have passed the assessment will be compensated with one gold coin every year. ”

"My lord, what does this craftsman system mean?"

"Gather all the existing artisans in the city, and I'll tell them what to do when the time comes. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

"Also, and most importantly, pick one of the best places in Roster City to set up an academy. ”

"Academy...... Great, my lord, with the current financial resources of the Wells family, it is not enough to support the expenses of a magic academy for a year. "Adolf's words are a little knotted, there are only three magic academies in the entire Holy Empire.

The annual income of Diamondnas County is simply not enough to support the annual expenses of a magic academy.

"I'm not talking about a magic academy, I'm talking about an ordinary academy. ”

"Ordinary Academy?" looked at Lei Zhe suspiciously, if the open academy wasn't for learning magic, then what else could it learn?

"Well, an academy that is free and open to all children, an academy where the children of commoners and slaves can learn knowledge. ”

"Great, my lord, are you going to pass on your knowledge to the civilians?" swallowed, the thought so mad that Adolf choked.

"If everyone is not able to choose their own identity when they are born, then I hope that they will at least be able to determine their fate in the future, because children will not provide much labor, but it is better to train more craftsmen and scholars. ”

"Your Excellency, have you considered these costs?" Adolf didn't know what to say.

"Naturally, I have considered that if all the children in Roster City enter the academy, it will be about 3,000 to 5,000, and if a child only needs to provide food, the annual consumption will definitely not exceed five thousand gold coins, and the Wells family can still support it with their current financial resources. ”

Grunt.

Adolf couldn't help but swallow his saliva, this is a very risky investment from every point of view, and it is really good for the economy of Roster City in the long run.

"That's all for now, you go and issue the decree, I hope these changes will be completed as soon as possible, Adolf you should understand that Rost doesn't have much time. ”

"Got it, sir. "It's true that time is running out, and Adolf also understands that the dragon scale blade has been taken away by the other party, if the target of those people is really the dragon egg, Roster City will usher in the danger of destruction at will.

............

"There's a new decree?"

"Tsk, our Lord Earl is really industrious, and I don't know what these decrees are for, so let's go and see. ”

Almost everyone in Ross City thought that Reich was a good earl, so he was naturally extremely excited about the content of the decree, and surrounded the various bulletin boards with curiosity.

————

From August 8, 621 of the Holy Empire, all wasteland in the east of the city can be reclaimed, and for every acre of land cultivated, it can be reported to the Ministry of Agriculture on the edge of the earl's manor to receive a reward, one imperial silver coin, and there is no upper limit to reclamation.

In addition, those who have a need for agricultural land can apply at the Ministry of Agriculture, pay ten copper coins to receive one acre of land, and when they do not need it, they can apply to the Ministry of Agriculture for the return of ten copper coins.

The person with the most abundant harvest on the next harvest day will receive ten gold coins from the Earl's reward.

Decree issued by: Wells Ray (Earl)
