Start with Island Lord

The center of the New Moon City Market.

The newly established execution ground.

Under a brand new guillotine, there stood a row of prisoners with their hands tied, wearing black hoods and coarse prison uniforms.

Behind the guillotine, the temporary chief judge, Igonini, the son of the forest from the Igo tribe, was reading out the crimes of the prisoners aloud.

"Mbahat, an ancestor wizard from the Heg tribe, 47 years old, male, committed regicide, treason, and voodoo coercion, and was sentenced to death by beheading!"

As these words came, two tall and strong warriors stepped forward, grabbed Mbahat's arms on the left and right, and took him to the guillotine.

'Hua La~~'

The black cloth hood was torn off, revealing a face with gray hair, wrinkles, and a dead face.

No one could have imagined that such an ordinary guy would be a terrifying witchcraft master who was famous and frightened.

Igonini looked at Mbahat, whose eyes were dead in front of the guillotine, and finally asked: "Mbahat, you can say one last word."

Mbahat's eyes turned slightly and glanced at the young Igonini.

He glanced at his brand new and straight human-style clothes, and suddenly felt an indescribable sense of absurdity.

He asked: "Igonini, son of the forest, are you going to completely abandon your ancestors?"

Igonini looked confident and calm, and he raised his hand and pressed it on his chest.

"The lord has never forbidden us to worship our ancestors. Our tribe follows the lord and continues to multiply and grow. The ancestors will always be in the hearts of our tribe. But you have completely cut off the bloodline of our ancestors."

Mbahat's body shook, and his eyes were completely dead.

He said in a voice that no one could hear: "So this is the source of power."

He finally understood, and he was speechless after being defeated.

Igonini took the initiative to put his head on the guillotine, and raised his hand to ring the soul-breaking bell.

"Dang~~~~"

"Hua La La~~~Ka Cha~~Pu~~~~~"

The chain slid, and the sharp guillotine slid down, cutting off Mbahat's head cleanly.

The government study room of Crescent Castle.

Rosen was looking at a leather scroll, titled "Merpent in the Sea", written by Mbahat.

The content of the scroll was about the observation and research of the habits of merpent.

It can be seen that this witchcraft master once wanted to use the merpent to take revenge, so he studied the merpent for many years and learned a lot of unique knowledge about merpent.

It's a pity that he could never overcome the disadvantage that merpent could not stay out of water for too long, which forced him to give up the merpent revenge plan.

But it must be said that this knowledge is very useful.

'Knock knock knock~'

The door was knocked.

Igonini is here.

After handing over a list, he began to report the situation respectfully.

"Lord, there are 34 death row prisoners in total."

"Among them, 10 are from the Heg tribe, 5 are from the Nalin tribe, 4 are from Blackstone Town, 6 are from Blue Flower Slope, 3 are from Howling Valley, and 6 are from Creekwood Town. All have been executed."

Rosen raised his hand to check the list, looked at the names marked with bloody big X, nodded with satisfaction, and said to Igonini with a gentle face:

"During this period, the discussion about the new policy of the island has been heatedly carried out throughout the island, and I have also heard a lot of voices from the people."

"But I also noticed that the Igo tribe is not concerned about this matter, and even a little indifferent."

"This attitude is not good."

Speaking of this, Rosen emphasized his tone.

"The new policy of the island is related to the overall interests of the entire island's 66,000 people. It is not only related to the present, but also to the fate of the future."

Sixty-six thousand people, 32,000 are from the human race alone, and the remaining multi-tribe forest spirits add up to 34,000, which is almost half and half.

Although there may not be many people, the population pyramid is very young due to the harsh living environment on the island. The base is surprisingly large, and the proportion of the high-reconstruction population under the age of 20 is close to one-third, or nearly 20,000 people.

Rosen stared at Igonini's clear amber eyes and said slowly in an encouraging tone:

"In the future, will we continue to be trapped on the island as rabbits to be cut by others, or will we go out and become dragons that soar high in the sky and dominate the fate of others? Let's start with today's new policy!"

"When you go back, you must persuade the tribesmen to come out of the mountains and actively participate in island affairs."

Igonini's heart beat violently, because he felt a very strange but also very huge vision from the lord's words.

A vision of leading all island residents to enter the world stage and compete with many powerful people from the outside world. In the past, this was something Igonini dared not even think about.

He was originally just a hunter who lived in the mountains and forests of the island and chased hares all day long.

He answered loudly: "Yes, Lord, I will definitely get my people out of the forest!"

"Go for it, young man."

Igonini walked away with his head held high.

After a while, the acting chief administrative officer Kruber knocked on the door and came in with a thick list in his hand.

"Lord, the rebel population of the Heg tribe, the Nalin tribe, and the four towns have been counted, totaling 10,318 people, and have all been settled in the criminal camp."

Rosen took the list and checked the details.

It was found that among these more than 9,000 people, there were only more than 2,000 original human beings.

Originally, each town had more than 3,000 people, especially Sir Thad's Creekwood Town, which had nearly 5,000 people.

But because of the "Gui'an Decree" he promulgated, everyone who could run ran away, and the rest were either the old, weak, sick and disabled who couldn't run, or the cronies and family members of the former knights and high-ranking knights.

On average, there are more than 500 in each town.

After looking through it, Rosen said: "The old, weak, sick and disabled who have nothing to do with the betrayers will be screened out and returned to their families."

This group of people is of no use. He has to keep them in the sinner camp. It is better to return them to their families, which not only improves human ethics but also saves management trouble.

"Yes, lord." Kruber immediately wrote it down.

"There are estimated to be 1,700 humans left. Let them mix with the forest elf tribe and beat them all as sinners."

In this way, he has ten thousand sinners who can be reasonably exploited, and someone will do the dirty work.

As he said that, he looked at the Lin Jing tribe again.

The two forest jing tribes account for nearly 8,000 people, including more than 5,000 women and 3,000 men, most of whom are weak and docile like sheep.

Because those guys with tough temperaments and strong bodies have all died by the Hanshui River.

How to arrange it?

Of course Rosen had already thought about it.

He clicked on the booklet on the table.

"Establish a child care home for all children younger than 8 years old. There are about 800 people here, all separated from their mothers and raised by the care home, but mothers are allowed limited visits, such as once every half month."

"More than 800 people aged over 8 and under 16 are also temporarily detained separately. They will then be sent to the soon-to-be-established Island Magic Academy to learn magic."

"As for this group of young adults between the ages of 16 and 40, they were all used as laborers and sent to Sturgeon Wharf to build the port."

“Remember, all conjugal relations between these sinners are cancelled, and men and women are separated.”

When Kluber started recording, he stopped talking about the details and began to talk about the purpose of dealing with convict labor.

"My general manager, you have to remember one thing. From now on, there will no longer be a distinction between human race and forest elves on the island, nor will there be a distinction between tribes and citizens of other towns. From now on, there will only be one kind of people, and that is the citizens of the island. "

"Even if these criminals are island citizens, their basic civil rights must be protected. It's just that they committed a crime, so they have to be restricted in some freedoms and have to work extra to atone for their sins."

"Do you understand?"

Crewe experienced it carefully, but he was still a little unsure about the details of the operation.

"Lord, does the separation of men and women prohibit these sinners from continuing to have children?"

Rosen shook his head: "To be precise, the forest elves will lose custody of their children."

"We must also vigorously encourage intermarriage between the two ethnic groups and accelerate the integration of all ethnic groups."

"For example, we can declare a law that as long as a male from the original human race marries a criminal girl from the original tribe and raises a child, the criminal girl from the tribe will be exempted from her status as a sinner."

"But how to implement it specifically will have to be adjusted in practice."

"Then if they are lazy at work, can they be whipped?"

Rosen raised his eyebrows: "My manager, we are not short of supplies. Using rewards to guide is far more effective than punishment and prohibition."

"You have to use punishment very carefully. After all, if you break the body, no one will do the work."

Kruber understood, nodded and said: "I understand, lord."

"Very good, let's do it right away."

"Especially for the port, the recent construction progress is still not fast enough, but our cargo will arrive soon, and it will be a large amount. We don't want to have no place to park the ship by then."

Kruber was a little unsure again and asked quickly: "Lord, how big a sum are you talking about?"

Rosen nodded at the table: "At present, the largest flat-bottomed eagle-billed ship in ocean shipping has a transport capacity of 2,000 tons. Six ships came, all fully loaded."

"Counting the days, it should arrive in a week."

Mulady took advantage of the bonus period of the new route and tried his best to get this cargo for him. Most of it was grain.

It was also his greatest confidence in implementing the New Deal on the island.

What new deal?

Of course, it is the New Deal with absolute centralization of power and imitation of modern departmental division of labor.

For such a small island and only a few citizens, he didn't want to engage in the inefficient thing of enfeoffing knights.

When Kruber heard that so many ships were coming, his scalp felt numb, and he immediately said: "Oh~ Lord, you should have said it earlier, the current port size is really not enough."

Fortunately, we have got so much labor. If we work overtime and work hard and don't pay attention to the quality of the port, we should still be able to do it in time.

Rosen reminded: "We are not short of food, at least we can fill the stomachs of the sinners."

"Understood, Lord."

Kluber trotted away.

Rosen was not idle either.

To be precise, the 'puppet' is temporarily idle, while the real person in the underground magic laboratory is busy spanking.

The new policy he is about to launch is a brand new thing in this world, completely contrary to the traditions of the island and even Weiland.

Even the continent of Wit in the south, although many reforms have taken place, is still groping forward and retreating from time to time.

In any world, it is very difficult to completely deviate from tradition and create something brand new, and it is easy to mess up if you are not careful.

He is not worried that the people on the island will oppose the New Deal, because he has eliminated all those who oppose it.

He was worried that inadequate management skills and poor quality of the population would lead to a large number of drawbacks in the New Deal.

But now, his New Deal still lacks a key technology.

The most indispensable technology for centralized management.
