From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 72 Short-term planning (seeking vote)

For some reason, after seeing everything in the dream, Ryan felt an inexplicable sense of urgency in his heart, which was different from the feeling of the orcs coming.

Even he himself couldn't say why.

After waking up from meditation, I feel that my body's weakness has improved a bit, but it will take some time to recover to the peak, and I have to use force cautiously during this period.

"This kind of strengthening method must not be used in the future if it is not a matter of life and death. The side effects are not small." Ryan sighed, and then turned his gaze out of the window.

There was already a hazy light in the sky, but the weather today was not very good. It was raining lightly outside, which added a bit of coolness to the border territory of Kana.

After standing up and moving around, Ryan began to think about the next move.

Although Kana is not a newly opened territory, in Ryan's eyes, it is still a waste of time, 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 casually. The rough feel made Ryan frown. The world has developed for so long, but it still uses such backward things.

"How is paper made? Alas, when the book is ready to be used, I will hate it. If I have time to think about it, this thing is also a source of income when it is finished."

Ryan patted his head. He knew it before, but he couldn't remember some details.

After complaining a few words, Ryan listed on the paper the development directions that he could choose in the near future according to his previous habits, sorting out the priorities and degrees of difficulty, so that he could choose more intuitively.

After a while, he listed the development direction of the territory, which is nothing more than the following points:

City defense construction, military reform, promotion of agriculture, search for mineral resources, open up trade routes, popularize education, absorb population, tap talents...

After careful consideration, Ryan drew circles in the directions of city defense construction, military reform, and talent mining.

After a big battle, Ryan has completely lost confidence in the rammed earth city wall, and changes must be made, but the construction of the city wall is not a matter of overnight, and work has to be done on the materials.

But you can find ways in other aspects, such as moats, building archery towers, and making weapons such as bed crossbows.

The army is the guarantee of the security of the territory, but Ryan also discovered that the existing military system is unreasonable, and changes need to be made. Without changing the combat effectiveness of the army, it will not be able to improve.

Finding talents is more extensive. Anyone who has a skill can be counted as a talent, but his focus is on finding management talents, and Hevian has done a good job.

Or urgently needed technical talents, such as blacksmiths, preferably blacksmiths with experience in ordnance manufacturing.Another example is an educated person, that is also a talent...

In the future, his booth will grow 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 key direction of recent development, Ryan's pen tip stayed on the topic of universal education.

Education is a must. He doesn't need to engage in imprisoning the people's thinking. The ignorance of the people is beneficial to the development of the territory and his rule in the short term, but it is digging a big hole in the long run.

It’s just that there is a good saying, if you take too many steps, you will easily fall into trouble, and literacy cannot be achieved overnight, and the time has not yet come.Thinking of this, Lane wrote Pending next to it.

"Well, we still need to solve the refugee problem. If these people are handled well, they will be an important force for the development of the territory."

There are thousands of refugees, who are an important labor force, and most of them are young and middle-aged, and those with weak physical fitness or old, weak, sick and disabled only occupy a very small part, which can be regarded as high-quality.

But they have nothing, no shelter, no farmland, no food... Such a person is a time bomb. Facing the crisis of the orcs before, the refugees were still safe and secure, but not necessarily later.

Fights, theft, etc. are common things, and Ryan has to pay for food to support them.

"Well~ No one can eat free food from me, let's use work as relief, now do some infrastructure construction, and organize wasteland reclamation later, and also consume their vigorous energy, otherwise they will want to make trouble when they are full."

……

Drey sat at his desk, watched the instruction sent from Ryan and began to write the recruitment notice. He actually had no experience in writing this thing, so he wrote it somewhat concisely.

It mainly mentioned the scope of recruitment, salary and treatment, but in his opinion, the salary set by Ryan was too high. With a stroke of a pen, he cut off half of it directly. He still felt dissatisfied and cut some more. In the end, he was satisfied with not even half of the rest.

Soon, under Ryan's instruction, bulletin boards were set up in the southeast, northwest, and north of Doman City.

Amidst the beating of gongs and drums, the surrounding residents began to gather under the bulletin board, curiously looking at the things stuck on the big wooden board and pointing.

"Hey, 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/tax?"

……

Some people are curious and some are worried. Most of them have no education and can only judge by their own guesses. In their thinking, this is mostly related to money or corvee.

Seeing that people were almost here, a middle-aged man wearing the official costume of the Government Affairs Department stood on a small bench, making everyone look at him. His name was Sivis, and he was an official sent by the Government Affairs Department to read out.

Seeing that everyone was guessing differently, he raised his voice and said:
"Citizens, this is the latest order issued by the baron, and the orders issued by the baron or the government affairs department will be pasted on it in the future, so that everyone can know..."

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they all felt a little strange. When will the noble master give an order and tell them?
"My lord, we can't read, what's written on it, it won't be a tax increase again." A big and tall man in the crowd shouted loudly.

Sivis glanced at him. Normally, he wouldn't talk to these mud-legged people at all, but Dreyer's management was extremely strict, and there were people watching his actions, so he had to calm down and said:

"Then I'll read it to you, and after you finish listening, tell it to those who haven't heard it.

The first article above was promulgated by the baron. In view of the outstanding performance of the militiamen in the war to defend the territory, the baron decided to issue pensions to the militiamen who died in battle. Each person has five Kindlers and three for the disabled...

Those who are willing to claim the ashes of the militiamen can go to the government affairs office to claim them now, and they will be distributed together at that time. The identity order of the claimants is wife, parents, children, brothers...

Don't pretend to be a claimant, once found out, the whole family will be reduced to slaves! "
