After figuring out the pros and cons of cooperating with Dube Diasuo, Wang Xiaoqiang was no longer worried, and a happy smile appeared on his face. The injury recovered quickly under the treatment of the light of redemption, and after Ilad woke up the next day, he continued to practice the knife as always, looking at Ilad's eternal expression, Wang Xiaoqiang was finally relieved.

There are pros and cons to everything, and if you figure it out, you won't be so distressed.

In the afternoon of that day, the clerk Segetel found Wang Xiaoqiang and handed over a letter and said: "Lord Archon Efark, the population has been completed, the population of Sack Town is 30,321, the population of Ainebeast City is 113214, the population south of Ainebeast City is 132142, and the total population of Tanse County is 275677. ”

Wang Xiaoqiang frowned and thought for a while, the total population of Tanse County is less than 300,000, but the military service population is already close to 40,000, if you add the militia and other officials, this proportion will continue to grow, one-seventh of the military service population, the pressure is still too great. There used to be a huge China with more than one billion people, and the military service population was only 2.3 million, but this ...... Wang Xiaoqiang thought about it, sighed and said, "You go on." ”

"There are more than 70,000 children under the age of 16, more than 160,000 people between the ages of 17 and 55, and more than 40,000 people over the age of 55. And the grain purchased from Assyria has already arrived in Tanse, Lord Efark, whether you should send someone to distribute it or you will distribute it yourself. Segtel asked.

"You push back the matter of giving food, and I'll deal with it later. Wang Xiaoqiang said, then frowned for a while and asked, "Segter, how can we increase the resident population of Tanse County?"

"Lord Efalk, I don't understand why you suddenly asked such a thing. Segtel wondered.

"I think that only when the population of Tanse County grows can we make Tanse County more prosperous, and the economy and tax revenue can increase simultaneously. Wang Xiaoqiang said.

"Adults, in this case, you need to set aside a certain amount of money to encourage childbearing, such as subsidizing a certain amount of food for giving birth, or how many children are supported by the government. The most important point is to prevent the barbarians of Trensu from disturbing them, and a large part of the reason for the depopulation of Tanser County is because of the fear imposed by these barbarians. Segtel said.

When these children are born and grow up, I don't know where the road is, and if there is a more stupid plan than this. Wang Xiaoqiang said helplessly: "Is there a quick solution? For example, to absorb residents from other places to move over?"

"Master Efalk, let me think about this. ”

"Well, there you go. ”

After sending off the clerk Segter, Bo Xian poked his head out and asked, "Efake, didn't you say that several officials of the city defense army are coming to the house for dinner tonight? I'll let Uncle Cheng prepare dinner now." ”

"Well, that's good. Wang Xiaoqiang responded.

The servants of the kitchen were busy, and the blood-eyed beast and the mutton from Trensu had already been cooked in the pot, and the delicacies were ready for family and friends.

The accident of Bo Xiang Wen Hao's 'killing' made the city lord's mansion lose a lot, and when Wang Xiaoqiang and Bo Xian Rouran occupied this city lord's mansion again, these people who had left returned one after another because of their survival, and the messy garden in the city lord's mansion was finally taken care of by a gardener, which looked neat and beautiful. The only thing that no one took care of was Bo Xian Wenhao's former study, a small courtyard with a cluster of low bamboos.

Wang Xiaoqiang, who had been wandering around the courtyard for a while, thought for a while, and said to an attendant: "Go to the Urban Management and Law Enforcement Department and invite Ms. Tanya Adams and Captain Ding Xiao to come over for dinner." "One order after another was given, since the meal was as lively as possible.

That night, the leaders of the city defense army, Canghei, Du Zhu, Gu Ge, and Shan Lu Ling were the first to arrive at the city lord's mansion, and after greeting the master, they drank tea and waited on the side.

Then Simba, Sun Erchou, and Mai Yina of the Second Lion Army arrived again. Immediately behind them were Hu San, Ivan and other key personnel who stayed in Sak Village.

Wang Xiaoqiang, as the host, greeted these friends outside the living room, and Zhang Bobang also came to the top of the door with gifts. The commander of the garrison of the Seine, Du Bishu and Yang Peng, came together.

Ilade, Nie Shen, Natasha Volkova, I Airo, and people closely related to Wang Xiaoqiang have all come to the City Lord's Mansion intermittently, and tonight is destined to be very lively.

The guests arrived one after another, and the guests sat down one after another under the hospitality of the hostess Bo Rou Ran Bo Ran, Wang Xiaoqiang and Bo Rou Ran sat at both ends of the long table, and the guests sat aside.

The waiters standing on the side elegantly spread out the napkins and placed the silver tableware, and the first appetizing soup was placed at the first time, bubbling and bubbling, and the mellow aroma was simmered in the pot for several hours, making it delicious at the moment. After drinking the appetizing soup, the guests praised the deliciousness. The host smiled back.

When the host raised his hand to signal that the soup bowl could be removed, the attendants came up to remove the soup bowl from the table, and then the dinner was officially started, and the pastries and fruits were placed on the table one after another. The glass goblet was filled with wine from the Segold Grand Winery under the service of the servants, and Wang Xiaoqiang raised the glass to toast the master's first glass of wine, that is, to tell everyone sitting that they could eat and drink with an open stomach without estimating.

Wang Xiaoqiang looked around at everyone and said softly: "Today has no special significance, if there is really one, it can only be a celebration of my transformation from a baron to an earl, hehe." Thank you, friends who have been with me all the way, for coming to me. ”

Everyone took their glasses and drank them.

Wang Xiaoqiang was not very suitable for this kind of scene, so Bo Xianrouran explained some precautions to him, so as not to make him ugly, and the whole banquet gradually became lively under the leadership of the hostess. Sometimes it is said that women hold up half the sky, and it doesn't seem to be groundless.

Just when the atmosphere at the table here was very lively, a person ran in in a panic and whispered something in Wang Xiaoqiang's ear. I saw that Wang Xiaoqiang's face was uncertain, and he suddenly slapped his hand on the table and drank: "These damn bastards." Bo Xian frowned softly and frowned, kicked Wang Xiaoqiang and glanced at him, as if complaining that he had ruined the atmosphere of the scene.

Most of the people at the table were from the military, and they seemed to sense that something was really going on, and asked in the dark, "Count Efake, has something happened?"

"Someone went and smashed the statue of Wang Xiaoqiang that I made in the square. Wang Xiaoqiang said.

"Who would dare to smash the building you built, or those black people?" said the black.

"It's me. A loud voice rang out from outside the door.

Purple Bishop Ratellan walked in from outside the hall with four holy knights, and Wang Xiaoqiang stood up from his chair and drank: "Is it true that I am a soft persimmon? ”
