Chapter 239: The Gulf of Tinea
The affairs of the empire naturally have no impact on Lei Zhe, life has to go on, and the development of Rost makes it impossible for him to carry it down, but Rost's commercial development has been formed.
The monthly income is very official, what Lei Zhe needs to do now is to get more production lines, so as to attract more people, a place wants to have more labor, naturally needs to have attractive public institutions.
The city grew like this, but the current way to increase the population was through slaves, and the population of Rost now reached a little more than 40,000, which is comparable to a small town.
Moreover, the speed of population development is very fast, and Lei Zhe boldly predicts that the population of Rost will increase to 70,000 in a year, which is absolutely possible.
Now there are a lot of outsiders who come to Rost every day, and Rost's policy is very good, because the business is relatively developed, and they are all Lei Zhe's personal assets, so Lei Zhe exempts all the taxes of Rost residents.
Lei Zhe knew that this would definitely not last long, and if they got used to it, it would be impossible for them to collect taxes when the population exploded, but at present, in order to attract outsiders, this kind of policy still needs to be there.
The new Rost is like a growing child in Lei Zhe's eyes, in order to make his children outstanding, Lei Zhe naturally spares no effort to struggle and work hard.
"My lord, one of the people who came with the goblins last time wanted to see you. Adolf pushed the door open and walked in, and whispered when he saw Reezer playing with a strange computer.
He didn't know what Lei Zhe was doing, for fear of disturbing Lei Zhe.
"The people who came with the goblins?" Lei Zhe was stunned, and looked at Adolf strangely, he didn't do anything, just playing some single-player games to relax.
"Well, he said he had something very important to see you. ”
"Do you know what it is?" Lei Zhe frowned, he naturally didn't see everyone, if everyone said that there was something important to see him, he would go to see him, wouldn't he have to be busy to death.
After all, what others say is important in his eyes may be negligible little things.
"He said it was about the people on their side. ”
"Tinea Bay?" Reich wondered, what was going on in Tinea now, and Reezer didn't know too well, but the goblins had all run over, and it was normal for the population to migrate there.
"Hmm. ”
"Let him come to me. Lei Zhe thought about it and said, he also needs to understand a little more about Tinea, the current Tynea Bay is the center of the war.
And judging from the map, the people of the Gulf of Tinea have no way to go at all, pass the airship, and now that Lancaster and St. Chez are almost all blocked, it is impossible to let the airship pass.
Go to the north, but the north is now the nest of the rebels, surrender?
The lords of the Gulf of Tinea were desperate to find that the only way to go was to surrender, but surrender was tantamount to becoming an enemy of the Empire, and the Gulf of Tinea was still a good place.
But now it seems that it is almost dead, there is no trade, and there is also the fear of the rebel attack, and the gritted teeth cannot surrender, the population of Tinea can only slowly flee, after all, everyone is worried that there will be a greater crisis in the end.
This made the lord of Tinea grit his teeth and let things go ahead, fortunately Lancaster had not yet begun to develop the disease and persecute him, otherwise the bay of Tinea would have changed its owner long ago.
Strategically speaking, the Gulf of Tinea is not too important, first of all, it is too close to Lancaster, and Lancaster's military power can quickly fight it, and the Gulf of Tinea has always been mainly for commercial development.
There weren't too many troops at all, and if Lancaster wanted to occupy it, it would be a matter of minutes, and as for why Lancaster didn't do that, even Alva didn't guess.
But that doesn't matter.
It didn't take long for a middle-aged man to be brought over, and when he saw this guy, Lei Zhe was stunned, because the other party's expression was very flat, and this kind of calmness is not for everyone.
In any case, Lei Zhe is also an earl, and it is difficult for civilians not to be excited to see the earl.
"What's your name?"
"Clayton. ”
"You don't need me to ask, can you? Lei Zhe didn't talk nonsense with this guy much, the other party's mind looked very sober, and if he wanted to explain things, he would definitely be able to explain things clearly.
Clayton hesitated for a moment and then said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency should know what is happening in the Empire now, right?"
"Clear. Lei Zhe replied simply, but he wanted to see what the guy in front of him had to say, this person didn't look like an ordinary person, at least not an ordinary civilian.
The humans who came back with the goblins were all arranged by Lei Zhe, but Lei Zhe did not abuse them, but arranged a place to live and food, and let them settle in Rost.
But the old rule, if you want to join Rost, you naturally want to be a slave, at first they didn't want to join Rost, but after seeing that the people around them were like this, they signed a slave contract without thinking too much.
"The Gulf of Tinea is in an awkward position, and after the outbreak of the war, although the fighting did not reach the Gulf of Tinea, the people of the Gulf of Tinea were afraid of dying in the fighting. ”
Clayton paused, saw Lei Zhe looking at him, and continued to speak without much thought: "The insecure civilians of Tinea can only find a way to escape from the bay of Tinea. ”
"People who did not have the origin of the nobles of the empire naturally did not need to think about whether they would betray the empire, and they all went to Lancaster, and the Duke of Lancaster did not refuse the influx of these people. ”
Lei Zhe nodded, naturally he would not refuse, now that Lancaster is fighting, it is naturally a good thing if there is a population to fill in, after all, in this era of cold weapons, it is all manpower, of course, it is some knights who have been trained and cultivated.
"There are fewer and fewer people in the Gulf of Tinea, and the problems of trade and life have also surfaced, and there is no way, Viscount Camorac can only watch this happen. ”
"Wait, what is your identity? It can't be a civilian who escaped here under the coercion of goblins, right?" Lei Zhe narrowed his eyes, whether it was the calm speech of Clayton in front of him, or the clarity of his thoughts in front of him, the earl.
It directly proves that this guy is not an ordinary person, at least he has seen a nobleman of Lei Zhe's level, otherwise he would not be so calm in front of Lei Zhe to tell this matter.
Lei Zhe will also meet many civilians, such as the previous Robier and others, they are already craftsmen, and they will talk and tremble when they see him.
