The strongest lord system

Chapter 359 Little Trouble

"My lord, our income and expenditure have been a little unbalanced recently, and because of the unworkable relationship cultivated in winter, our finances have always been in deficit." A skinny man stood in front of Allen's desk.

This thin, almost 30-year-old man, Jeffrey Gardner, was previously selected by Allen to serve as a financial official in Stormwind City. After all, it would be too troublesome if everything was handed over to Karen's housekeeper. He died, so now Alan began to gradually distribute the power in his hands. After all, as Stormwind City grows bigger and bigger, it is not something that one person can do to take charge of a territory with a large population.

As for loyalty, with Bobo's soul visitation, although he can't know the other party's thoughts, he can still detect the other party's general emotions, so there is no need to worry about this aspect.

Allen looked at the report in front of him, and he really couldn't see it at ordinary times. After the most basic farming work could not be carried out like now, the problems of population would all be manifested.

"Also, because of the sharp increase in the population of our Stormwind City, although those newcomers from the desert are slowly getting used to our life here. But after all, our current Stormwind City does not have enough jobs for them, and now it is almost normal The work of one person is assigned to two or three people, which causes a lot of unnecessary consumption for us, which is equivalent to raising some unnecessary idlers. In addition, our consumption of funds and materials in many places is It is very huge, for example, in terms of pensions for soldiers and civilian education in schools, these have caused a lot of consumption." Jeffrey frowned and reported.

Allen touched his head in annoyance: This is almost a stage similar to a bottleneck. If you can't break through this bottleneck, maybe when spring comes, this hidden danger will disappear temporarily, but it will affect Stormwind City. getting bigger.

"The two consumptions you mentioned cannot be cancelled. But do you have any good solutions to the previous problems?" Allen asked. He will cancel this item, because this is a promise he made to his soldiers. They can sacrifice their lives for Stormwind City. If he can't even guarantee such a small promise, then he is still a city lord.As for those education issues, although it seems unnecessary to many people now, Allen believes that knowledge is power, and those who have knowledge will definitely understand this in the near future.

Jeffrey shook his head helplessly. He knew very well about his lord, and he had heard many rumors about him, but in his heart, this was a lord who cared for the common people.

"My lord, I do have some solutions. Since we have so many idlers, the only way to solve this problem is to increase jobs, so that not only can the development of our Stormwind City reach a new level, but also address this potential problem,"

"Jobs." Allen understands that this is also a solution, but now most of the industries in Stormwind City are basically overcrowded, even the mines that consume the most manpower are already full: "But we What other industries can be developed in the current Stormwind City?"

Jeffrey took out a stack of papers in his hand, and he said; "I made a statistics on most of the industries in our Stormwind City before, and now the only industries in our Stormwind City are mines, paper mills, lumberyards, and farming. industry, and some other small industries. These can be said to be the occupations that mainly occupy most of the population of our Stormwind City, and now these industries are almost full, and cannot bear the next population growth. So, I think Create some other industries, such as the livestock breeding industry that we don't have yet, and there is a river next to our Stormwind City, we can develop fisheries after we complete it. And the port you arranged on the side of Lake Mosao has almost been completed, this It is also a basis for us to develop the fishery. And we will start building the city after this winter, we can organize a group of people who specialize in construction. Of course, sometimes some jobs that require labor can be used in large quantities by civilians. .”

Allen sat there thinking for a while, he looked at Jeffrey and said: "If we vigorously develop the development of all walks of life, how many people do you think our Stormwind City can support?"

"10 people. If our various industries develop smoothly, 10 people will be no problem at all." Jeffrey said firmly.

Although 10 people are not too many in Allen's mind, this is already the only existence of the national capital in this society.

"Okay, just do it according to your ideas. And you have to catch up on business matters." Allen said, looking at Jeffrey.

"Business? Hasn't Lord Horst always been in charge of business? It's not appropriate to be offside." Jeffrey said a little awkwardly. After all, although he is now in charge of Stormwind City's finances, business is still Horst was in charge, and Horst worked in the power class of Stormwind before him, so it could be said that he was his predecessor.

"It's okay, this is my special approval. Horst has some more important things to do now, so the business matters in Stormwind City are temporarily entrusted to you." Allen said.

"Well, then I will take care of it." Jeffrey nodded and said, since the Lord City Lord believes in him so much, how could he let him down.

"Okay, you will report these matters to me regularly in the future," Allen ordered.

"Yes."

"Okay, if it's okay. You can go down."

"Ah."

bump

The office door was closed.

bump
But not long after, the door was knocked again.

"Come in."

"My lord." It was Karl who came in at this time.

"What's the matter?"

"My lord, we are in a little trouble." Carl looked at Alan awkwardly.

"Little trouble?"

…………

"Look everyone, look everyone. Didn't my brother just steal a few pieces of bread from you, why did you beat him like this?" On the street, a man with blood on his face fell to the ground. His body was covered with bruises, it looked like he had been beaten violently, and he was probably not alone.

Beside him was a man standing next to the injured man, yelling at several people next to him.

"Hmph, he stole our things. He should be beaten. Call him a brat." A big man dealt with it there, and it seemed that they should be the one who beat him.

And the other onlookers were all talking about it, some people thought that stealing should be beaten, some people thought it should be beaten, this is too serious.

"Give it up. The city lord is here."

At this time, a group of soldiers squeezed a way, and Alan and Carl walked in.

Allen looked at the situation in front of him, and he frowned: "This is what you said is troublesome."

Carl said embarrassingly: "Actually, this is just a trivial matter. The man lying on the ground over there stole a few pieces of bread from their house, and then they caught him and beat him up. This...maybe a bit of a beating." Seriously, one leg was broken. If such a situation happened normally, it would be a beating at most, but this time the beating is more serious. And it is mainly due to the identities of the two parties. The beating is from our Stormwind City Civilians, Xinmin was the one who was beaten for stealing things. So I'm afraid that if the higher-ups don't handle it well..."

Allen finally understood that this was a matter of stealing something and being beaten seriously, but it involved the identities of both parties. If it is not handled properly, it may cause some gaps between civilians and Xinmin.

"Okay, I'll settle this matter." Allen stepped forward and said, "Are you both parties to this incident?"

The two parties who were arguing a lot just now are very quiet now. After all, the identity of the city lord is there, so they still dare not make nonsense.

"Yes, Lord City Master, these thieves are really hateful, they always throw our things." The big man pointed at the two of them and said.

"My lord, even if it's wrong for us to steal, they can't beat people so badly." The brother of the injured man shouted from the side.

"Okay, you all be quiet. I will solve your matter personally, and someone will take them to the square in front." Allen waved to the people next to him: "Be gentle with the wounded. "

"Yes."

Allen leaned next to Carl and said softly; "You arrange for someone to spread the news that I will personally try this matter over the square."

Karl nodded quickly: "Understood, but this matter is really troublesome to deal with. Are you going to..."

"I have my own way, you can arrange it."

"Yes."

"I heard that there was an incident of stealing just now."

"What's the matter, what's the big deal."

"The main reason is that this incident has alarmed the city lord. The city lord said that he will interrogate this matter in person in the square later."

"Isn't it just a matter of stealing things? There's no need to let the city lord come."

"Anyway, I'm going to take a look. It's rare to see such a scene."

"Wait for me, wait for me. I'm going too."

Allen sat on a seat in the middle of the square, soldiers surrounded the outside, and outside were the people who heard the news and came to watch.

Allen looked at the few people in front of him, he had to solve this matter properly today, otherwise don't look at this matter as small, if it really creates a gap between civilians and Xinmin, then it will be serious.Now the ratio of civilians to newcomers is as high as ten to one.
