Chapter 83: New Plans
85_85536 Of course, the current situation in the Chersk Countate is not quite the same as the above. The current situation is that William gained almost a qiē power in Chersk. With the support of Countess Charlumi, almost any of his political measures could be carried out in Chersk...... Or delusional.
All in all, the situation now is such that William has mastered Chersk. Perhaps he can now be compared to the tyrants of the Lombard kingdom. Of course, the premise is that his fame and strength increase by another twenty times.
The economic situation of the Chersk Counts, under the management of William and Father Peter, recovered very well. Because of the availability of good, obedient and competent executives, a series of policies developed by William to encourage industry and commerce were well implemented and enforced.
Not far from the Chersk Castle, a large number of new shops are being built in an orderly manner. Thanks to William's new tax laws, a six-month tax holiday, and the abolition of centi, the replacement of transaction tax and income tax, and the preferential tax rate, etc. Gradually, merchants are coming from all directions.
Thanks to William's half-baked urban planning, the new business district looks pretty good – at least on the drawings.
With adequate road cleaning staff, public toilets, drains and sanitation ordinances, this up-and-coming business district will become a place like no other.
A new special business zone was built in Chersk to attract merchants and boost the economy of the county. This plan began to be brewed soon after William arrived in Chersk.
After a series of field investigations, William decided to build a new commercial district not far from the Chersk Castle...... Or rather, a new town.
In William's plan, the new trading town would be backed by the Vistula River, which would be transported to the Guò River to drive trade, and at the same time, spurred by the new economic policy and the benefits of tax exemption, merchants would flock to occupy a large number of shops. Turn this into a new, trade hub.
Although the geographical location of Chersk is not too superior. But William believed that with sound policy and his skill, the plan would succeed.
It's just that because of the previous series of military-related matters that are more urgent, spring plowing cannot be delayed. So the plan was pushed back. It wasn't until late spring, after the spring ploughing had been fully arranged, that William put the matter back on the agenda.
Of course, it's like promoting the four-nursery rotation and new farming techniques. This could not have been done without the support of Father Peter, who was the only person William could get his hands on until he found a suitable manager.
William distinctly remembered the look of surprise on the old man's face when he saw it after he handed his entire plan to Father Peter. He enjoyed the astonishing gaze.
Thanks to the backwardness of the times, the overall planning of the city, investment promotion, as well as the understanding of tax rates, taxes and so on. William did this qiē, and even others didn't even dare to think about it.
"I believe that if it is really carried out according to your policy and built, then this project is indeed likely to succeed. Like an old fox with a good sense of speech, Father Peter first complimented William. And then it was a matter of course:
"It's just that, I'm afraid, we don't have enough people to do this job. In fact, managing the manor alone was already too much for me and my subordinates. Fr. Peter said: "In addition to this, there is also a problem with the financial aspect. Materials, craftsmen, none of us prepared. There is some abundance in manpower, but it is still far from enough to complete the project. ”
"Yes, yes. These questions are all in zài. I know that very well. William smiled, not upset by Father Peter's pouring cold water on him or anything.
He just nodded, just nodded, and then answered Father Peter's question: "In fact we can solve all the problems." In other words, there is nothing wrong with my plan itself. Mr. Priest, the problem of manpower and labor is easy to solve, and I can also solve the problem of money and materials. As for the problem of insufficient management, in fact I have solved it. ”
“...... Is that so?" said Father Peter, who had heard William say this, furrowed his brow again, and said in a questioning tone with some uncertainty.
"Of course, Father. So, all you have to do now is get your people into action. Familiarize them with the task. Of course, you need to familiarize yourself with it...... Okay, I still have something to do, I'm out of company. ”
With that, William got up, and left the prayer room—yes, for convenience, Father Peter left his chapel for the time being. Moved into the prayer room of the castle. And it was a small office where he and William discussed government affairs.
"It's so energetic. Such a young man ...... "watched the back of William striding away. Father Peter couldn't help but sigh.
From William's body, he saw a lot of qualities that a good young man should have. These include optimism, positivity, and an enthusiastic and almost fanatical work attitude. And in addition to this, he also has qualities that other good young people usually do not have. For example, patience, such as humility, and the ability to appoint others, to see the excellence of others, but not to produce jealousy of tolerance.
If this qiē is only admired by Father Peter, but it is acceptable, then William's other advantage is that Father Peter finds it incomprehensible and unbelievable.
That was William's knowledge.
Yes, knowledge.
For an alchemist, priest of the Lord of Light, there is nothing more exciting than "knowledge". Father Peter was astonished by the breadth of his knowledge, the breadth of his knowledge, and the depth of his mastery.
A casual word William often said, a random thing he did, an order he gave a given, even a gesture, a look, made Father Peter feel extremely incredible.
Many times, Father Peter would ignore William's appearance, figure and voice in a trance. He felt that he was not talking to a boy who had just turned sixteen, but a mature, at least forty years old, an experienced and gifted naturalist who had been studying all his life.
This was the thing that surprised Father Peter the most. As a clergyman, a clergyman who is not too religious, but who does believe in the existence of the Lord. Father Peter thought more than once, involuntarily: "Great Shining Lord, what is the purpose of you to descend such a genius in such an age, in such a place, and in such a place, and what kind of will do you want to convey to the world with such a genius?"
Of course, Father Peter could not come up with an answer. However, this does not prevent him from coming to another conclusion, that is:
"If there is no other problem, then the rise of this young man can be said to be a matter of course. ”
This changed many of Father Peter's ideas and plans. At the same time, it gave him many new ideas and plans...... Ideas and plans related to William von Hereford.
And among these ideas and plans, one of them is this: to cooperate with William's plan, at least, in the near future, in the absence of other changes and changes, to cooperate with William's plan.
"Well, let's take a closer look at the plan. At least there's something to learn...... Of course, there are some things that need to be revised. Father Peter said to himself as he picked up the plan and read it.
The glass windows in the prayer room were not small, and the light was much better than in his chapel. With the help of the sunlight shining in from the stained glass, which was not very transparent, Father Peter continued to read William's plan carefully. When you see a wonderful place, you can't help but be amazed
