Chapter 73 Meeting First Agenda Encouraging Fertility

The next morning, Allen got up from bed with a headache. He still had a meeting to hold today.

And his personal maid, Alice, had already prepared everything, waiting outside the door for Allen to get up.

Alan, who was dizzy, hurriedly washed his face in the thick water vapor, and put on a thick and warm clothes under the service of Alice.

Then he took a piece of honey cake for breakfast, left the bedroom, and pushed open the door of the meeting room.

It was already deep winter outside at this time, even with the charcoal fire lit, the temperature in the meeting room was not that warm.

The people who were notified of the meeting waited in the meeting room long before Allen arrived.

After Allen walked into the meeting room, he glanced roughly,
Well, everything is here.

"Good morning everyone."

Allen said hello and took the main position. Although his head still hurts, Allen, who was relaxed, was in a good mood looking at his subordinates who were in good spirits.

After all, this Battle of the Five Armies has always been in Allen's mind. Now that the crisis is over, he has too many ideas to try.

Before this battle, the half-orcs in the Misty Mountains and Sauron in Dol Guldur were like two mountains, lying across Allen and Wilderness Town.

In order to gain enough advantages in this war to fulfill the ideas in his heart, Allen spent a lot of time on diplomatic relations.

Because in this battle, there are not many opportunities that Alan can find, and most of the plans require friendly or even deeper friendship to complete.

Unless Allen can bring tens of thousands of human troops to support Gushan, it's a pity that Allen has no such strength at all, and he can only make more efforts in other areas.

If Alan hadn't personally participated in this expedition, nor had he helped Thorin a lot along the way, let alone established a deep friendship with the Durin dwarves.

So even in a sober state, Thorin Oakenshield would not believe Aaron's words, let alone take out the contract and the Starlight Gem in a very short period of time.

If it wasn't for the good relationship between Alan and Dyne, and the iron-footed Dyne who hated the woodland elves so much, why was Alan persuaded him to go back to the Lonely Mountain Kingdom with a few words, and prepare to fight the half-orcs?
Can a random stranger be more credible than his cousin?
If Alan hadn't said a few words to Gandalf at the Golden Luanwei River, how could there be a White Daoist attack on Dol Guldur that had been prepared for a long time?
Without this attack, there would be no Lord Elrond rushing thousands of miles to help the Lonely Mountain, so even if this war is won, there will be only a few human, dwarf, and elf troops left.

Not to mention, Alan relied on his relationship with the woodland elves to provide Thorin Oakenshield with much convenience and save time during the expedition.

Looking back, after years of hard work, Allen has changed more than a little bit about this famous battle.

Not only did it save the lives of nearly a thousand residents of Changhu Town, but it also prevented the elves and dwarves from fighting, making them more calm when facing the next attack of the orcs.

He even personally led the skin-changer to cooperate with Thorin to attack and kill Azog, and saved Thror's blood of the Durin royal family.

These are the results of Allen's hard work in the past four or five years, and they are also the changes he has made to the world.

Now, Allen, who has gotten rid of all the shackles, gained enough connections, and earned a lot of wealth, is ready to shift his focus to the development of his own power.

There are so many things he wants to do, but he needs to do a little bit.

The first is the problem of population. Without population, the army, territory, and business are all just talk.

Previously, there had been harassment by orcs from the Misty Mountains and Gundabad Mountains, coupled with Dol Guldur's covetousness, so Allen was not so keen on the population issue, but took the attitude of letting nature take its course.

Under the threat of dark forces, everyone is in danger, and the more children there are, the more difficult it will be to protect them.

At that time, the situation around Wilderness Town was extremely bad. In addition to safety issues, there was also a food problem.

When Allen was most distressed, the food that Wilderness Town lacked was purchased through the Woodland Kingdom.

In the later period, with the gifts from Mrs. Galadriel and the careful care of the people, the grain production increased.

It's just that Wilderness Town has to prepare for the Battle of the Five Armies soon, and the consumption of supplies is also very serious.

Now the surrounding environment is much safer, and after the military operations are reduced, there will be sufficient supplies.

Allen felt that Wilderness Town already had enough conditions to encourage the people to procreate, let them spread their branches and leaves, and reclaim more farmland in the Anduin Valley.

After the extremely brief opening remarks, Allen gave Jamila the first order for today's meeting.

"Yamira, I think it's time to carry out the work of encouraging people to have children. You can do it boldly and publicize it. For families with more children, I will not only give them some material rewards, but some After the number of children in the family exceeds a certain number, part of their tax can even be reduced, giving them more conditions and motivation to spread their branches and raise children, not only that.”

Allen, who was talking, picked up the water glass in front of him, took a big sip, and said again: "I have another idea, isn't there still an open space in Wilderness Town? Don't grant it to people who want to enter the city." Yes, I am going to build a school there, big enough, preferably able to accommodate hundreds of people, for such an overburdened family, as long as they agree, they can send their children from five to ten years old to the school Come, I will be responsible for their food and accommodation, and at the same time, I can also train them and provide them with various education, so that they can get in touch with combat and writing related knowledge earlier."

When Allen said this, Jamila stood up, picked up the kettle on the stove, and added some hot water to Allen's water glass.

Afterwards, Jamila took her seat and began to estimate in her heart how much time, materials, and personnel it would take to complete these tasks.

Holding the steaming water glass in his hand, Allen coughed lightly, soothing his uncomfortable throat after talking too much.

"Now we have outstanding fighters, scholars who are proficient in engineering, doctors with superb medical skills, and blacksmiths with excellent craftsmanship. You can choose those with better talents from among these children as your apprentices. It can also reduce the burden on you. As for those who are not good at studying, we also have a lot of land that needs people to cultivate, which will definitely not cause a waste of personnel. Of course, I will not completely restrict the freedom of those children. , they can go home for two days."

After saying this, Allen took another sip from the water glass, and signaled to Jamila that he was done talking, and if there was any problem that needed to be solved, just say it.

Jamila was thinking about various related matters in her heart, and her crisp voice rang out in the meeting room after a while.

"Lord Alan, I have two problems to solve here. The first one is the open space in the city. If the citizens are no longer allowed to move into the city suddenly, it may cause some unnecessary troubles. Can you do this? .”

Jamila paused here and reorganized the language.

"I think we can give some incentives to encourage the residents of the city to reclaim farmland and build farms farther away, especially those families with a large population. Through my observation, they actually prefer to live together, so why do we Can’t take advantage of this? Now that the war is over and the surrounding area is much safer than before, after they have made some achievements, I think we can provide them with free cattle, build waterwheels, mills, and of course, convenient roads .”

Having said that, Jamila looked at Alan who was staring at her, turned her gaze back, and continued talking.

"You see, with these conditions in place, the gathering point they established will definitely be able to absorb more people, and then we can also delegate some rights to those with the highest reputation among them, let them become managers, and then dispatch The officials cooperate with them in management. As long as we can ensure their safety, these gathering points will soon become new villages, and there should be no problem with prosperity. Free up more space for people who want to move into the city."

(⊙⊙)

Alan looked at the young girl in front of him in surprise. He didn't expect that Jamila, who had been the mayor for several years, would grow to this level. In fact, Alan had considered redispersing the gathered citizens.

In the past, everyone was gathered together for the sake of safety, but in the current form of civilization, after being dispersed, as long as the surrounding safety can be ensured, they will develop faster.

All gathered in Wilderness Town is indeed a waste of manpower.

Moreover, there is indeed not enough land around Wilderness Town for nearly [-] people to cultivate. Over the years, there have been many construction projects to support some residents who have not cultivated the land.

Of course, there will still be more construction projects in Wilderness Town in the future, but Allen plans to spend money to hire people from other places to complete this part of the work.

For example, for those humans living in the plains east of Rovanian, Alan can offer a price they cannot refuse to attract them to come and work for him.

For another example, those dwarves who suddenly returned to Lonely Mountain from all over Middle-earth, although Lonely Mountain is now in a state of ruins, there is no guarantee that there will be dwarves who will provide services for Allen.

However, it is more cost-effective for the own people to build more villages and reclaim more land.

Thinking of this, Allen nodded, and directly agreed: "Yamila, your idea is very good, I agree, but there are two points, first, people who go out should still encourage them to spread their branches, but, Every pregnant woman has to go back to Wilderness Town one or two months before giving birth. We can send a horse-drawn carriage to pick them up. The conditions are still too bad, and we should pay attention to the safety of pregnant women. Second, take this matter slowly, we encourage it, not force it, and don’t let the citizens feel that we are expelling them, understand?"

Seeing Jamila nodded, Allen smiled gratifiedly, and said with a smile on his face: "Yamila, you have grown a lot these years, I am very pleased, I believe you can do better and better in this position Come on. Then, there is a second question?"

When she first heard Allen's praise, Jamila's face turned red. After being the mayor for so many years, she has the right to command nearly ten thousand people.

She often faces various problems and troublemakers, and she already has the temperament of a leader, and the fact that her emotions are not visible is just the foundation.

On the contrary, a certain lord who is about to become a king usually only makes decisions and grasps the general direction of the development of Wilderness Town. Fight, fight, fight.

He has hardly dealt with difficult and miscellaneous matters, but his personality has not changed much.

But Jamila is still very pleased. If possible, she hopes that Alan can always maintain such a character.

Because for a period of time, Allen was under too much pressure, even if he didn't need to communicate, Jamila could feel the heavy pressure on him and the strong unwillingness in his heart.

Alan like that is hard to get close to.
