Chapter 72 Near-term Planning (Asking for Votes)
I don't know why, after seeing everything in the dream, Ryan inexplicably felt a sense of urgency in his heart, which was different from the feeling of the orcs attacking.
Even he himself couldn't say why.
After waking up from meditation, I felt that my body felt a little better, but it would take some time to recover to my peak, and during this time, I had to use force carefully.
"This kind of enhancement method is not a matter of life and death in the future, and it must not be used, and the side effects are really not small." Ryan sighed and looked out the window.
There was already a faint light on the horizon, but the weather was not very good today, and it was drizzling outside, adding a touch of coolness to the border territory of Cana.
Standing up and moving, Ryan began to think about his next move.
Although Kanna is not a new territory, it is still a waste in Ryan's eyes, and there are many aspects that can be used as the next development direction.
Sitting down at the mahogany desk, he took a piece of animal skin paper in his hand, and the rough feel made Ryan frown, this world has developed for so long, and it is still such a backward thing.
"How is paper made? Alas, when the book is used, I hate it less, and I have time to think about it, and this thing is also a source of money when it is done well. ”
Ryan patted his head, he had known it before, but he couldn't remember some of the details.
After complaining a few sentences, Ryan listed the direction of development that he could choose in the near future on the paper according to his previous habits, and divided the priorities and degrees of difficulty, so that he could choose more intuitively.
After a while, he listed the direction of the development of the territory, which was nothing more than the following points:
The construction of urban defense, the reform of the army, the promotion of agriculture, the search for mineral sources, the opening of trade routes, the popularization of education, the absorption of population, and the excavation of talent .......
After careful consideration, Ryan drew circles in the direction of city defense construction, army reform, and excavation of talents.
After a great battle, Ryan had completely lost faith in the rammed earth wall, and he had to make changes, but the construction of the wall was not an overnight thing, and the materials had to be worked on.
However, there are other ways to think of things, such as moats, and building arrow towers, and making weapons such as bed crossbows.
The army is the guarantee of the security of the territory, but Ryan also found that the existing military system is unreasonable, and it needs to be changed, and the combat effectiveness of the army cannot be improved without changing it.
The excavation of talents is more extensive, as long as there is a skill, it can be regarded as a talent, but his focus is to tap management talents, Heweian is doing a very good job.
Or a much-needed skilled person, such as a blacksmith, preferably a blacksmith with experience in ordnance building. Another example is educated people, that is also talent......
Later, his stall will get bigger and bigger, and the demand for talents will become more and more, so he has to start preparing early.
Taking these points as the focus of recent development, Ryan's pen then stayed on the article of universal education.
Education is a must, he does not need to engage in the way of imprisoning the minds of the people, the ignorance of the people has certain benefits for the development of the territory and his rule in the short term, but it is a big hole to take a long-term view.
It's just that there is a good saying, if you take too big a step, it is easy to pull the egg, and literacy cannot be achieved overnight, and it is not yet time. Thinking of this, Ryan wrote pending next to it.
"Well, we also have to solve the problem of refugees, these people deal with it well, and it will be a very important force for the development of the territory."
The number of refugees is several thousand, and they are an important labor force, and most of them are young and middle-aged, and only a very small part of them are physically weak, old, weak, sick and disabled, which can be regarded as high-quality.
But they have nothing, no shelter, no land, no food...... Such a person is a time bomb, facing the crisis of the orcs before, the refugees are still safe, but not necessarily later.
Fights, thefts, etc., were common, and Ryan had to pay for them to feed them.
"Hmm~ No one can eat white food here with me, let's work for relief, now do some infrastructure construction, and then organize wasteland or something, and also consume their vigorous energy, otherwise they will want to make trouble when they are full."
……
Sitting at his desk, Delai looked at the instructions sent from Ryan and began to write the recruitment posting, he didn't actually have any experience in writing this thing, so he wrote it a little succinctly.
mainly mentions the scope of recruitment, salary and the like, but in his opinion, the salary set by Ryan is too high, with a stroke of the pen, he directly cut off half, he still felt dissatisfied, and cut some more, and in the end he was satisfied with not even half of the rest.
Soon, at the behest of Ryan, notice boards were erected in the south, south, west and northwest of Dorman City.
In the midst of the beating of gongs and drums, the surrounding residents began to converge under the notice board, and they looked curiously at what was attached to the large wooden board and pointed at it.
"Eh, what is this?"
"I don't know, there seems to be words on it, who knows what is written on it?"
"Won't there be another tax?"
……
Some people are curious and some are worried, most of them are uneducated, and can only judge by their own guesses, in their thinking, this is mostly related to money or forced labor.
Seeing that the people were almost coming, a middle-aged man dressed in the costume of an official of the Government Affairs Department stood on a small bench and asked everyone to look at him, his name was Xivis, and he was an official sent by the Government Affairs Department to be responsible for reading out.
Seeing that everyone was speculating, he pulled his throat and said:
"Lords, this is the latest order issued by the Baron, and the orders issued by the Baron or the Government Department will be pasted on it in the future, so that everyone can know about it......"
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, they all feel a little fresh, when will the noble lord give an order and tell them?
"My lord, we can't read either, what is written on this, won't there be another tax increase." When there are more people, there are bold, and a tall man in the crowd shouted.
Civis glanced at him, he wouldn't talk to these mud legs at all, but Delai was extremely strict, and there were people next to him who were paying attention to his actions, so he had to make himself appear calmer and said:
"Then I'll read it to you, and when you're done, tell those who haven't heard.
The first of these was promulgated by the Baron, who, in view of the outstanding performance of the militia in the war to defend the territory, decided to give the dead militia a bereavement pension, five Jindler for each person, and three for the disabled......
Those who are willing to claim the ashes of the militia can go to the government affairs department to claim them now, and when the time comes, they will be distributed together, and the identity order of the claimant is wife, parents, children, and brothers......
No fraudulents, once discovered, the whole family will be reduced to slavery! ”
