Old Man Gus naturally knew the meaning of Aslan's gaze, especially when he saw the supportive gaze of Michelo and Jace, the two old ministers of Flying Sky City.

"It's very simple, expand the army! Develop industrial workshops and start commercial trade with foreign countries. ”

In a simple word, Aslan had to admit that this old guy was capable, and he was neat.

"I understand the development of industrial workshops and commercial trade with foreign countries, but why do we need to expand the army, the expansion speed of the Flying City has not stopped recently. ”

"The army is indeed expanding, but the population is expanding even faster, do you know what the population of our Flying City is today?" asked Old Man Gus.

Aslan was speechless, before he left, because the surrounding land could not be planted, hundreds or even hundreds of ordinary people came to Feitian City every day, and they were not there for a few days, plus the number changed too much, Aslan could not predict the accurate number.

"Eight thousand six hundred and thirty-two. Old Man Gus said with a smile.

Aslan couldn't help but gasp, when he first crossed over, there were less than thirty people, including more than a dozen old, weak, sick and disabled, in just a few months, it actually grew to more than 8,000 people, and this speed has grown a little fast.

"We only have more than 200 soldiers, and we have to maintain law and order in addition to training, and if we continue to develop at this rate, we will soon not have enough troops, let alone daily training. Michelo said worriedly.

"There have been frequent public security incidents recently, and a wake-up call must be sounded. Old Man Gus immediately answered.

Aslan frowned slightly, and subconsciously asked, "How many troops do you need to summon then?" After all, the salaries of our soldiers in Flying City are not ordinarily high. ”

"A thousand best!" said Old Man Gus, holding up a finger.

Aslan couldn't help but widen his eyes, one-eighth of the population of Flying Sky City joined the army, which was simply a poor soldier, and the military expenditure was also very terrifying.

"Let's go back and think about it, Mr. Guss, Steward Michelo, Executive Jace, the three of you make a report and plan for me, and I'll answer you in a day's time. Aslan said.

Michelo nodded, and he leaned close to Aslan's ear and said, "Actually, young master. If we arrange for the soldiers in the Flying Army to also participate in the farming, our pressure will be reduced a lot, and other cities on the continent do the same, after all, it is too expensive to raise these soldiers. ”

Truly. There has always been such a habit on the mainland, and when there is no war, the city lords and lords will arrange the soldiers of the army to cultivate the fields and increase the harvest a little, which will also reduce the consumption caused by raising soldiers.

However, Aslan did not want to do this, because what he needed was a warrior, a strong army that could defeat the enemy on the battlefield, and he wanted to govern this army in the same way as a modern army.

"I'll think about it. Aslan did not agree to Michelo's butler's proposal, but he did not refuse either.

He needed to read the report of the three of them before making a decision, because he suddenly thought of a term, the production and construction corps, a thousand soldiers, of which definitely more than fifty percent are not suitable for Aslan's criteria for selecting soldiers, these soldiers can be organized into a construction corps, the salary is reduced, and the training can also be reduced, but more often it becomes the production and construction force of Feitian City.

It's similar to the slave manor of the city lords, most of the time they work for the lord for free, and they can go to the battlefield to be cannon fodder when necessary, but Aslan has a salary, and he won't let them be cannon fodder.

"Okay. "The Michelo steward can only follow Aslan's arrangement.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you here, the soldiers who came back with me, wait a minute, you can arrange some good food for them, and then talk to Handini, give them a day off, and then resume training. Aslan made a simple arrangement.

"Okay, young master. ”

Aslan said to Aunt Melia on the side, "Then let's go back to the house first." ”

At this time, Aslan saw Sima Lan talking and laughing with his wife in the distance in the crowd, and his two sons who had recovered next to him.

"Let's go over and have a look. Aslan said.

Aunt Melia nodded and followed behind Aslan.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, and I feel like you're fat again. Aslan quipped.

When Simalan saw the city lord coming, he touched his head with a smile: "Well, I miss these two children." Todomi and Olmis, come and say hello to the city lord's uncle, it was the city lord who saved your life in the first place. Simalan said, taking the two children by the way.

The two children looked at Aslan curiously, and shouted obediently, "City Lord, thank you for saving us." ”

"What two good boys, come. This is the candy that my uncle brought back, you can taste it. Aslan took a few pieces of candy from his pocket and handed them to the child, which he had bought when he was in Fort Glimes.

"Thank you, uncle. The two children happily took the candy, as if they had never eaten candy, and put the candy into their mouths under the guidance of Aslan, and the sweet taste instantly made the two children smile happily.

Aslan fondly touched the heads of the two children, and he said to Sima Lan: "You come to the City Lord's Mansion after chatting with your wife and children, I have something to tell you." ”

"Yes, Lord Castle. I'll be over quickly. Simalan nodded and said.

"Then let's go first, goodbye Todomi and Olmys. Aslan said to the two children, who were still immersed in the sweetness of sugar.

"Goodbye, uncle. ”

Walking down the street, Aslan looked at the people who were now busy on the street, and their faces showed full smiles, unlike the deadly atmosphere when Aslan first came, without a trace of life.

Aslan looked at Jessica next to him, he secretly took out some delicious things from the Merlen ring, handed them to Jessica and smiled: "This is the delicious food I bought in Glamisburg, you can take it and eat it! You don't have to follow me." ”

Jessica looked at the things handed over by Aslan with a little surprise, and hurriedly waved her hand: "My lord, how can you spend money for me, you can keep it for yourself! My father has appointed me as the waitress of the City Lord's Mansion." ”

When talking about the waitress, Jessica had a strong look of dissatisfaction on her face, obviously very dissatisfied with Jace's arrangement.

Aslan took Jessica's hand and put it in her hand: "I don't like sweet things very much, and if I leave it for a longer time, it will be broken, it's not a waste, you should help me solve it, I see that you don't like your current status, go back and make a report, tell me about your goals and ideas." ”

Jessica looked at the things in her hand, and a strange feeling appeared in her heart, feeling that this city lord was not as sloppy as Aunt Melia said.

Looking at Jessica in the distance, Aslan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, no wonder when he was on Earth, the leader liked to call people to make reports so much.
