The strongest lord system

Chapter 12 Census
Looking at the carriage in Bloodstain City slowly going away, Allen chuckled and said to the butler Karen next to him, "The gold coins and grains have all been counted."

Butler Karen held a ledger made of animal skins with a face full of surprise, and said, "Well! It's all counted, and [-] gold coins are a lot. Rice, potatoes, and radishes are a total of [-] catties of grain." This is his I have seen the most gold coins and food in the past few years.

Allen ordered: "You deposit the [-] gold coins in the City Lord's Mansion first, I think I will use them soon."

"Yes."

Allen continued: "As for the food, it will be stored in the City Lord's Mansion first."

Butler Kevin said strangely: "But young master, those people in the city are almost running out of food distributed after the previous war. We..."

Allen said: "It's not that the food will not be distributed, it's just that I want to distribute it in another way."

"What method?" Karen looked at Alan inexplicably.

Allen explained: "I want to conduct a census of the citizens in Stormwind City. You can find some who can write and some animal skins."

Butler Karen was full of doubts: "What is the census?"

"The census is to record our current urban residents, the number of people in a family, gender, name, age, etc." Allen said.

"But what's the use of these?" Butler Karen continued to ask.

"As for the many uses, you will know later." Allen said: "Go and tell them that as long as they come to conduct a census, ten catties of grain will be distributed. But if someone falsely claims or takes more than one, what is found will be Food was confiscated."

Butler Karen nodded: "I see, I'll do it right away."

Allen stopped Butler Karen who was about to leave and said, "Wait a minute, I have something to ask you."

"Sir, tell me"

"Our city now manages the army, um... who is the one who manages the guards." The most important thing for Allen to do now is to improve the strength of Stormwind City, so the most basic thing is soldiers.

Butler Karen said directly: "Now our captain of the guard is Karl Mass. He is one of the few remaining in our city, a true warrior. He fought with the old city lord when he was young."

Allen said: "Then you will ask him to come to the City Lord's Mansion later, I will find him if I have something to do."

"Yes, master. There's nothing else, I'll go first."

"Well! You go."

Sitting in front of Allen in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion was a very stout man in his 30s.

"Karl Mass has seen the Lord of the City." Karl saluted, and his eyes glanced lightly at the young lord, who brought a group of goblins to guard him during the war a few days ago. Lived in Stormwind.

Allen looked at the big man in front of him, and asked aloud, "Your name is Carl, right? How many years have you been in Stormwind? How did you become the captain?"

"I grew up in Stormwind City since I was a child. I have fought with the old city lord since I was a teenager. Later, the old city lord appreciated me and made me the captain of the guard." Carl said, his eyes full of longing for the past. Honorable memory.

Allen could see that Carl had feelings for Stormwind City, and he would become one of his most important subordinates now.

"I called you this time, and I want to announce that I am going to disband the current guard!" Allen said.

"What?" Carl almost jumped up in shock. He anxiously persuaded, "My lord, this is not acceptable. The guards are already the only army we have left, and they are still decreasing every year."

Allen stretched out his right hand and pressed Carl's shoulder, and said, "Listen to what I have to say, look at the current guard, there are only four or fifty people, some of them can't even swing a sword, it's still a real thing. soldiers?"

Karl lowered his head in shame, "But..."

"I know. It's not your reason. I called you this time, not just to tell you that I want to disband the escort." Allen's eyes were full of seriousness: "I want to rebuild an army, a A real army, an army that can protect our Stormwind City, an army that can fight all enemies."

Carl's eyes were filled with excitement when he heard Alan's words, and he was speechless for a moment.

Allen looked at Carl and said: "I am now officially asking you if you are willing to show your 'sword' again for me, for Stormwind City, and for the people of Stormwind City, and create a group of real warriors in Stormwind City .”

Karl half-kneeled on the ground excitedly, and said, "My lord, I, Karl Maas, am willing to be the sword in your hand and protect our Stormwind City."

Allen gently helped Carl up, and said, "Very well, then I will issue my first order now."

Carl stood straight "Carl is always at your disposal."

Allen said: "Now go and disband the guards. Anyone who is older than [-] and younger than [-], or who is not capable of becoming a fighter, let them leave the team. Give them five silver coins each." Settlement expenses. Write down those good seedlings first, I will bring a few more people there in the next few days, and then I will teach you a complete training method."

Karl did not expect that the Lord of the City would give five silver coins to those who quit the army. You must know that five silver coins are equivalent to two months of living expenses for an ordinary family of three.

"My lord, are these five silver coins too much?" Carl said worriedly. In his mind, Stormwind City is still very difficult now, and the money should be reserved for building an army.

Allen said: "Most of those soldiers have stood for Stormwind City for several years. They deserve these five silver coins. And when our Stormwind City becomes a little richer in the future, we can recruit them to logistics."

Although Karl doesn't know what logistics is, he can still feel the care and love of the city lord for these veterans.

"Understood. Then I'll take my leave." Carl saluted happily.

"Well, you can ask Karen the housekeeper for those settling expenses."

Carl left the hall.

Allen is now going to issue an order to recruit troops after the census is completed. As for training himself, he has to catch himself now.

According to his memory, the military training in this world is still very old. It is just simple use of swords and guns. When there is a war, except for the regular army of the empire, most of the other lords It is to recruit some farmers at random, train them and send them to the battlefield.

What Allen wants to train is a powerful army. He knows very well that an army with strong discipline and orders and prohibitions is what he really wants, so he is going to use his previous military training methods to come up.
