Chapter 53 Development
The next day, the sky was still bright, and there was a busy figure outside the city.
They were all the citizens of Vasser who had come to collect the bodies of Wayne, and of course, the mothers, wives and children who had come to find the bodies of their sons.
It's basically crying while picking up corpses.
There were only about 1,000 people left in Wasser's city defense army this time, which was very miserable.
These people waited anxiously all night, but did not wait for their son and husband to come home. Most of them have already died on the battlefield.
Some people came in the middle of the night with torches to look for people, but most of them couldn't find them. Their faces will be trampled to pieces by the hooves of passing horses and the feet of countless people.
Only a handful of people's faces are still recognizable. The blood of hundreds of thousands of people covered the entire grassland.
The ditches that Wayne dug were kne-high in blood.
The smell of blood reigns supreme here.
From time to time, wild dogs come to taste this hard-won feast, and eagles hover in the sky.
Everywhere there were hills of hills, mixed with humans, elves, horses, banners, broken knives, and broken spears.
The cleaners can only move forward in the blood, the corpses.
At present, many people have not walked a few steps, and their faces are pale and vomiting nonstop.
After all, looking at the intestines, liver, and brains all over the ground.
Minced flesh mixed with hair, misaligned teeth, unpaired eyeballs.
Elves have a pale complexion and mostly blonde hair. Therefore, it is also easy to identify, and these bodies are all cremated. After all, digging a pit and filling it is very laborious.
The smell of burning is a mixture of unpleasant smells, the smell of burning fat, the burnt smell of burning muscles, and the burnt smell of burning clothes.
It's hard to describe, Wayne has smelled it more than once, but it's still unbearable to smell it again.
The landfill of human corpses is a problem, so many people, it is not known how many pits to dig.
Wayne wanted to spark, but the world attaches great importance to the integrity of corpses, and he ordered it without authorization, which may cause them to resent it.
It's also worth the extra trouble, I just hope it can be done quickly and don't let bacteria grow.
Now Vasser needs a lot of quicklime, which will cause a lot of stress on Nolan.
And Wayne plans to erect a monument to Wasser's memory of the fallen soldiers. These also need lime, so I don't know how Nolan's industrial expansion has been during the time he has been away.
With Evans, Hinderson's ability should be a bit large-scale.
There is also the comfort of the families of the soldiers of Black Chess City, who basically come from other cities except Vasser.
They are all fortunate families, hoping to become a soldier and bring economic improvement to their families. After all, the military salary in the black chess market is very considerable.
Most of these families were persuaded to leave before the war by their own family members who were soldiers.
If Wayne finally managed to scrape together the bereavement payment, it would be embarrassing if he couldn't send it.
But you still have to send someone to do it, after all, the pension will only be paid by Wayne in Rune, and Wayne decides, so he can't be pretentious. That's how people feel different.
As for saying that none of these soldiers are under Wayne's command, why did Wayne send them?
Now this place, Wayne regards it as his own territory, and these civilians are his subjects. Now it is necessary to leave a good influence on the people at the bottom.
Although Wayne risked his life to enter Vassar before, it has already improved people's influence on him a lot.
But that's not enough, Wayne needs a series of initiatives to make these people feel safe following Wayne, not only with meat.
Wayne needs to establish his own power in Vasser, after all, the forces under Barnfinger don't welcome him very much.
Mansour, Otero are representatives of these people. Now that Mansur is gone, Wayne mobilizes Vasser's city defense to replace him, and Otro is in much more trouble.
Wasser's bureaucracy will almost always be on Otero's side.
Now that the military force is vacant, Wayne will soon be in control, and the financial power and the treasury will be swept away by Barn Finger. If Fei has a financial power, Wayne is in control, after all, Earl Niels's subsidy should arrive in a short time.
The executive power is currently in the hands of Otero, and he has killed him by himself, but the consequences are unimaginable.
We need to corrupt this bureaucracy, and we need to build a new bureaucracy to slowly replace it.
The first is corruption, and Wayne will definitely have many workshops set up in Vasser himself. As for who the workshop is open to, Wayne has the final say.
Merchants are mercenary, and when the time comes, in order to eat some meat in the workshop, they have to look forward to Wayne.
And there are many people under Otero who collude with this group of merchants.
Through this relationship, Wayne was able to divide them from within.
He also wants to depose some officials for various reasons. Let the power be vacated, so that it is convenient for Wayne's own forces to arrange it.
Many of the soldiers of Wasser are now the world's most advanced ideological and cultural groups. When they become familiar with government affairs, they will be able to have a good impact on the citizens of Wasser.
With a two-pronged approach, Wayne wants to pull out this bureaucratic system that is extremely inconsistent with his own interests.
He needed a political system that was adaptable to business and industry.
At the moment, as far as Vasser is concerned, the political system is entirely at the service of the aristocracy. The only purpose is to collect taxes, and the collected money is distributed to the lord for more than half, and he keeps half of the dividends for himself.
Of course, there is more to it than that, these bureaucrats wield a lot of power. At the level of citizens, they grasp the judicial, executive power.
And if a businessman wants to get mixed up in Vasser, he must curry favor with this group of officials. And it's good for businessmen with no background to survive here, let alone do business.
This is very detrimental to Wasser's development, and Wayne needs to create a fair business environment for Wasser.
Moreover, it is necessary to efficiently transform population resources.
Vasser, like Nolan, was an important treaty port for Rune and Stuyard.
Stuyard needs Rune's salt, farming tools, iron. Rune, on the other hand, was able to buy wonderful works of art, animal skins, and minerals from Stuyard.
Now don't look at the two sides have just fought a big war, but in just a month, they will trade with each other. After all, in the face of interests, what hatred cannot be let go.
And Vassi made money from this trade, and almost half a million people in Vaser lived almost in turn. Provide services to passing merchants, and do simple processing of furs and minerals that are transported.
Even the iron ore that had been shipped from Stuart was resold after it had been refined in Vasser.
The city's prosperity depends on this.
Now that Wayne has mastered a more advanced mode of production, it is in dire need of a large number of people to participate. The 500,000 people in Vaser can fill these gaps dramatically.
The population of Vasser also has an advantage over Nolan, who is engaged in the service industry, business almost all of the people. Most of the people in Vasser are handicrafts, and they are very suitable for working as workers.
The industrial center of the future will definitely have to be moved from Nolan.
In order to speed things up, it is necessary to reform the political system of Wasser, so that the relations of production can be adapted to the changes in the productive forces in advance.
