Victor could have imagined that the officials sitting here now were all devastated when they knew that the boss had suddenly changed from a big brother to himself.

But when it comes to the scene...... Everyone seems to be in good shape, Victor silently found.

"Young master, the one on the left is the treasurer Peak, and the one on the right is Hankaus, the captain of the guard."

At this time, Uncle Jerry had already stood beside Victor and began to take the initiative to introduce everyone.

Peak and Hankows, who were named by name, also bowed their heads and bent over to signal, their faces were very serious, and they did not show any casual emotions.

As for the officials sitting below the two, most of them were subordinates of their adjutants, and Victor only barely recognized his face.

"I've just arrived in Lakeside Town, and I'm not very familiar with the situation here, so let's introduce me to it, focusing on what you're busy with."

After getting to know each other, Victor began to ask the initiative, and everyone sat up a little straighter, and then Peak spoke first.

"Lord Victor, the town faces the sea, the land is barren, the efficiency of crop cultivation is very low, and the main source of income of the people is fishing from the sea and related side businesses.

Over the past two years, we've been working hard to help fishermen build more boats, expand their fishing range, and connect with caravans in Silly City to trade their catch and increase their income.

Although the results are slow but safe, everyone's lives have also been improved, and the follow-up plan will continue to increase investment in this area, so as to increase tax revenue, and then invest in the construction of the town. ”

After Peak finished speaking, he quietly waited for Victor's reply, he knew that his answer was conservative, but at least he couldn't make a mistake without knowing the temperament of the new lord.

To put it simply, it is equivalent to not reporting it, and the old workplace is oily.

"How are taxes levied?" Victor began to ask.

"According to the rules set by the eldest young master before, based on the number of adult laborers in each household, each adult laborer needs to pay 200 copper coins in taxes every year, but if a child is born in the family, the tax of 50 copper coins can be reduced."

During this period, 1 gold coin = 10 silver coins = 100 copper coins = 1000 iron coins, and 1 copper coin is enough to buy more than ten catties of high-quality fish, and the average annual income of a fishing family is only six or seven hundred copper coins, after all, fish can not be caught every day.

In this way, a family's disposable money is only two or three hundred copper coins per year, even if they have children every year, but the children born have to spend money, and it is impossible to save at all.

Only in the early stage of town construction, when a large increase in population is needed, this strong medicine will have a slight effect, but if it is not stopped in time, the consequences will be endless.

"How much tax was collected at the beginning of this year?" Victor continued to ask.

"A total of 1.6 million copper coins were collected in taxes."

"How much is left?"

"The middle of the year has passed, but there are only ...... left 580,000 copper coins" Peak began to sweat profusely on his face.

"What is the population of the town? How many families are there? ”

"With a population of nearly 30,000 people, about ...... 4,000 households"

"So, even if every family has two elders, the average has 3.5 children?"

"Master Hui, yes."

"The town has only been established for three years, which means that every family has been giving birth? Even many have four children in three years? ”

"Yes, the population has also grown tremendously as a result."

"......" Victor closed his eyes and didn't bother to say anything more, and began to try to figure it out in his mind.

Peak, who was originally there with the old god, also silently wiped the sweat from his palms, and the serial questioning of Master Vic just now made him nervous.

The success of this method is well documented, but looking at the appearance of the little young master, he is obviously not very satisfied.

But four children in three years is really a lot.

After a long time, Victor reopened his eyes, and he already had a general idea in his mind.

"Director Peak, after I go back today, I need you to keep a record of all the families who are now pregnant within a week, tell them that the tax exemption needs to be recorded in advance, and let them actively cooperate."

"Young Master. This ......"

"Do what I say, and you'll find out later. This is the first thing I give you when I take office, he is important! ”

Victor stopped Peak from speaking, his eyes staring straight at the other.

From his point of view, although this can cause the population to explode in a short period of time, the subsequent problems are very troublesome.

The explosion of concentrated population will produce tremendous pressure on medical care, education, housing and other aspects in the future, and once the threshold is passed, there will be a surplus of labor.

Of course, if you only want to train them to be pure labor, then it is really not a big problem.

But how could Victor, who had experienced the Blue Star education, still be like this, so the population growth must slow down.

At least, not in a big way.

"Do as you command, Master Vic!"

Peak was defeated, as a financial official who had followed the eldest young master, he could not have access to a lot of local news, and the young master in front of him could not afford to offend.

Then, the adjutant on Peak's side made reports on various aspects such as grain reserves and town construction.

Victor listened attentively and learned more about Lakeside Town, and ideas kept popping up.

He didn't press the table, and the first priority was the population issue.

Peak's side is over for the time being, and the rest will remain the same for the first time, and the statistical things are simple but cumbersome, which is enough for them to be busy for a while.

Victor then turned his head to the guards Zhang Hankaus.

"Master Vic, my side is mainly responsible for the daily patrol of the town, defending against the attacks of demonic beasts, and helping fishermen expand the fishing area."

For the town, the more idle the guard, the better, proving that the town is very safe and that nothing major happens.

So Hankows was a lot less stressed, and he wasn't worried that Victor would question him like Peak.

"The basis for the excellence of the guard team still depends on how good it is.

Captain Hankows, can you go outside and show me the strength of the guards? ”

"Of course!"

Hankos had already guessed that there was such a link, so today he brought the elite of the guards.

Soon, a group of people came outside.

Ten uniformed guards stood straight in the clearing, each with two standard elves by their side.

Muck Bird + Luck Cat!

Hankoth, the captain of the guard, sent out the Mukhawk and Roentgen, both of whom were the final evolutions.

"Master Victor, the guard has 1 captain, 10 deputy captains, 100 soldiers, and 15 logistics soldiers, a total of 126 people.

Captain Hankoth, has been equipped with four elves, Roentgen, Muk Hawk, Iron Tyrannosaurus, and Weasel King.

Vice-captain Raul, Coster ...... They are equipped with three elves, a Muck bird, a Luck cat and various water elves.

Each of the 100 soldiers is equipped with two elves, the Mukel and the Kitten, and most of them have evolved into an elf. ”

Hankoth finished speaking, but Victor did not speak for a long time.

It's not that the power is too weak...... It's too strong!

"Captain Hancous, please tell me what position you used to hold under my eldest brother? What rank? From which army? ”

Hankos glanced sharply at Victor, and he could hear what Victor meant.

He's a town guard here, and he's definitely a genius!

Thinking of this, Hankos's heart was arranged here with a lot less depression in an instant.

At least now, it seems that the little young master is not unlearned and stupid as everyone says.
