Chapter 25: Governing the Town (2)

After taking over the mayor of the town, Charman can be regarded as going to the official career, and then he knows that this official is not so easy to be. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Not to mention, on the side, there are still people waiting for him to make mistakes, waiting for his position, you know, Charman is picking up someone else's position, originally, this is a position booked by others.

He's just taking advantage of someone else's loophole.

At present, what is the most important thing in this town, one is to form a town guard, you know, no one has come to fight this town before, but Charman is stealing food from other people's mouths.

Then, it is normal for others to hire so-called bandits to invade, so the most urgent thing for Charman at present is to form a guard.

As for the money for the formation of the guard, he can still give it, this is also the gold and silver extracted from the soil when digging underground caves, as for why gold and silver are extracted in places where there are no gold and silver mines, this is not something that Charman can consider, and even Ellie can't think about it.

Originally, when gold and silver were extracted, Charman was very happy, thinking that this would be a gold mine, or a silver mine, or a copper mine.

As a result, after Aili's scanning, it was found that this gold, silver and copper are only within a certain range, and this existence is very abnormal, but since you can't figure it out, don't think about it, although it's good to refine what you can.

Even, what I didn't expect, that is, not only gold, silver and bronze were refined, but also a piece of Mithril was refined, which was an unexpected surprise.

The money for the guards is there, but the money for paying taxes still can't come out of Charman's storage, even if it is, it's not enough, right, so is it better to collect taxes directly?

It's not good, the people here don't have much income, they just want to collect it, even if they smash their bones and boil oil, they can't get much money.

So, first of all, Charman has to give people a way to make money.

It's too complicated.

"Rick, I'll leave the matter of recruiting the guards to you, my goal is, first of all, let's recruit a hundred guards first, naturally, it is impossible to recruit so many people from this town, but, aren't there some bandits around here, you can send them a signal, as long as they come, they will not blame the past, as long as they are good members of this guard, they can say anything. ”

"Mayor Mare, why me?"

"Why are you, when you killed someone, you already established your authority, could it be that I still let others establish your authority again?"

Yes, Charman chose Rick as the captain of the guard because he killed someone, and he killed him in front of the whole town, that is, in fact, this is already a prestige for both Charman and Rick.

"Well, well, I'll take this position, and if I don't do a good job, don't blame me, mayor. ”

"Mayor Mare, this Rick has a position, so what about us?"

Kuya was anxious on the side.

"You guys, don't worry, since I brought you here, naturally you all have positions, but, I have to think about it slowly, don't you, first of all, Kuya, you have to be prepared, here, you are literate with the housekeeper, you have to be ready to be a tax officer, as for how to collect taxes, I haven't thought about it yet, I haven't thought about it, it's just to give you a tax officer, you can also be considered an empty position, and also, Rick, recruited people, you can go to the housekeeper to get weapons. ”

Taxes, looking at the source of income in this town, Charman is a little worried.

First of all, part of the nature is farming, because this place is close to the mountain, so, there is not much fertile land, about one-third of the townspeople are farming, these fields, can also make the people of this town can be fed, and because of the existence of bandits, the grain in this town can not be transported out, nor can it be transported in, that is to say, the town's grain income is self-produced and sold, looking for them to collect taxes, then there is no even farming.

The second part is a part of the people who rely on the mountains to eat the mountains.

They are people who wander around the edge of the mountains and forests, and they are not professional adventurers, so their income is very unstable, sometimes, there is no income for a day, and sometimes, they will bring back some wild fruits, and these people can't even solve the problem of food and clothing.

The third part, that is the bandits, they, even harder, why, the people of this town, they have nothing to rob, on the road, the way out of the town, don't think about it, no one walks all the year round, then, there is only a road to dozens of miles away to rob, fortunately, that road, it is a busy road, however, they go, not back can have a harvest, you know, most of the people who walk, they dare not provoke, not to mention, there is also the saying that black eats black.

In the end, it is the people who open the store, they should be the main source of taxes, but unfortunately, their income is not successful, as mentioned earlier, there are too few explorers, and they are limited in the acquisition of something, and similarly, they cannot provide taxes, but, Charman considers, this source of taxes, mainly depends on them.

Why?

In the interstellar, there is no sample of Charman's small town governance experience to copy, but he crossed over from the earth, so at this time, most of his governance basis should come from the earth.

Especially this tax.

This tax, or the first step of governance, is to carry out the town in detail, so as not to investigate, before, it is not that there is no investigation, but just let Aili scan it, and there is some eavesdropping on some of the townspeople's conversations, discussions, etc., this, after all, is too rough, can not be used as the basis for fine governance.

"What are you planting?"

Looking at the green seedlings in front of him, and according to Aili's calculations, at this time, it should be May of this planet, which is the time when the crops are planted, the seedlings have just emerged, and they are ready to grow rapidly, and this place should be regarded as a place about 30 degrees north latitude.

That is, in this place, only one season, or one and a half crops, if there are winter crops, can be grown.

"Back to the town mayor, this is upland rice, originally, we also planted some other crops here, but later found that only this upland rice is the most productive, and only it can feed us, so, for hundreds of years, we have planted upland rice here, and in other places, this planting is diversified, you know, this upland rice, but the worst taste of things. However, there is really no way to provide food and clothing, is there?"

"Upland rice, is that the grain you eat now?"

Upland rice should not be the most unpalatable, it should be the most delicious thing, but why do they say that, especially, Charman has already checked it in the market before, it seems that there is nothing that can compare to upland rice.

"Master Hou, you misunderstood, what they said was unpalatable, it was unpalatable, you know, they ate brown rice, and Master Hou, you eat it, but my finely processed upland rice, this is different. ”

"Brown rice, finely processed, how is it different. ”

Charman is also a farmer, so he doesn't understand Ellie's words even more!

Master Hou, you don't understand, here to process this upland rice, the deepest, the deepest can only be processed to the state of brown rice, I know from the data, if you want to fine processing, one, you need iron tools and tools, I scanned, they don't seem to have it here, and, the simplest tool, that is, stone processing tools, it seems, there is no here, they have, are all wood processing tools, and their upland rice here, and the upland rice in my record is still different, like, the last layer of chaff shell of the upland rice here, the attachment ability is stronger。

"And the other food crops that we see in the market, they don't have this layer of shells that are very attached, so the taste is different. ”

"Oh, I understand, it turns out that the people of this planet are so miserable, they can't even take off their shells after eating food for 10,000 years. ”

After Ellie has explained, Charman understands, but what's the use of understanding, this processing is not clean, but more nourishing, if the processing is clean, this is missing some food, isn't it!

"Master Hou, I just scanned the genes of this upland rice, it is actually the same as the genes of the starry sky rice planted in our starry sky, you see, this, can it be hybridized, I think after hybridization, the upland rice here can completely increase the yield several times. ”

"Then, why can't we just grow our starry sky rice?"

"Master Hou, you forgot, starry sky rice, but it is directly cultivated for planting in space, it cannot be planted on the planet, so it must be hybridized in the laboratory first, and after three or four generations, it can be transplanted to the planet, according to my calculations, there is no way to do it this year, and all our seeds are starry sky plants, and if they are planted on the planet, they need to be evolved after three or four generations before they can be transformed into the planet. ”

"Well, well, on the one hand, this agriculture is over this year, and Ellie, you have to hurry up and set up an agricultural laboratory. Next, we're going to look at the forestry aspect. ”
