Release that Witch Chapter 569: Threat of power

As the incomplete spring comes to an end and summer is approaching, the population growth of Neverwinter City has ushered in the first explosive peak.

The operation of sending people to the two places in southeast China began to receive results. -- has the experience of the previous year. This time, the envoy team's solicitation efficiency has been greatly improved. Hundreds of people gather in Scarlet Water City and Willow Town every day, waiting for Western Region's The ship took them to the rumored wealthy and stable Neverwinter City.

In order to settle these people properly, City Hall also commissioned merchants to lease temporary barracks at the assembly point and provide porridge water for free to prevent accidents before the refugees arrive at Western Region.

The border area dock has become the busiest area in the city. Ninety percent of the police force is used to maintain order and register the population. There are always long queues before the quarantine checkpoints. Officials responsible for managing the households divide the flocks into Several large categories, and then moved them into riverside board houses, Chengxi caves and formal houses by category.

For this reason, the busy city hall gives people a feeling of flying chickens every day.

"The three sailing vessels of Scarlet Water City have just arrived at dock. There are a total of 126 people. The blue flag on the mast is in charge of Babu!"

"Come again? What is the first batch today?"

"The fourth or fifth batch? Don't complain anyway, go pick up the ship!"

"Well, who replaced Babu to Scarlet Water City?"

"It's me! Wait, I'll be back soon!"

"Remember to bring soap, there is no one for sale!"

Listening to the noisy conversation outside the office, Barov is a little frowning. He is not too suspicious. If he is busy, the more busy the work of City Hall, the more happy he will be.

But recently, situation has become complicated.

The reason lies in Edith Kant.

"Master Prime Minister, Ministry of Justice has urged us again!" An assistant walked into the office. "Hi Carter requested to recruit another 100 people as reserve police officers. He said that if there is no increase in manpower, law and order in the city must be taken care of But here it comes, if Your Majesty asks about it, we can't escape responsibility. "

Well, isn't it because he is Chief Knight and is good at talking in front of Your Majesty? Like such a trivial matter, he has no time to take care of it. While drafting the document, Barov said without raising his head, "Place it on the table first, I will deal with it later."

"Yes!"

As soon as the assistant closed the door, Edith's voice sounded in his ears immediately, "This is the content related to the recruitment order? Since you are too busy, I'll take a look for you."

Here it is! Barov said in his heart, and even the honorific is useless!

Of course, the other person is a daughter of northern region Duke, and she is indeed a lot higher than him. Until she becomes a real King, she can call her name without using the honorific name, but he is also considered to be this Half of the young lady's mentor? After all, Your Majesty arranged Edith to Prime Minister's office as an assistant to study the City Hall department structure and government affairs process, but she does not seem to think so now.

"Yeah ... Alright." He said reluctantly.

Even if she feels helpless, Miss Kant's words and deeds can't make any mistakes. If he refuses blindly and is passed to Your Majesty's ears, it will be unreasonable. In this critical time, Your Majesty cannot leave a bad impression under any circumstances.

He will never forget that Roland Wimbledon is the devil who can see people's hearts.

"Thank you."

A rustling sound of writing soon sounded across the table.

After half a quarter of an hour, Edith returned the recruitment order to his table.

"According to a draft I have recently read, such recruitment generally requires reliable personnel and a clean background. There should not be much left in people's border areas. Rather than posting announcements on the square, interested parties are required to come. For City Hall applications, it is better to directly adjust the account from the archives room and select a hundred locals who have not yet had a formal job. Ministry of Justice belongs to the majority of City Hall, and the salaries and benefits are good. No one will refuse to do so. If this is implemented, it will be more than normal recruitment The process will save about one week, and there will be less complaints on the Chief Knight side. If you think it is okay, I will forward this to the archives according to this reply.

Her voice is clear and organized, and it's hard to believe that joining City Hall is only about two weeks old.

I remember that at the beginning, she just sat and looked at the documents she reviewed, and rarely spoke, but now she is very comfortable with all the matters of City Hall.

"Uh ... just do what you say."

Barov couldn't think of a better way to deal with Edith for a while. He might even be busy. He would ignore these things that are not important and deal with them in a normal way.

Is this the heir who grew up in Duke and was educated by the higher noble education?

Barov feels a deep threat.

Yes, honorifics and honorifics are trivial matters. What he really cares about is power in his own hands. The news that Northern Lands is fully effective is now well known. If Edith was sent by Your Majesty as an assistant to form a second-level City Hall in Northern Lands, then it would have little effect, but what if she stayed?

Your Majesty has no marriage at present, and the other party is the daughter of a real Duke!

When I think of this, Barov feels headache.

No, you must let her know that the management of City Hall is not so easy to master, and Your Majesty even needs a minister who can co-ordinate the overall situation for him!

When Edith returns to the office, he clears his throat and passes the statistics in his hand to her.

"This is ..."

"We are in trouble," Barov whispered, "Neverwinter City's stored grain is likely not to support the harvest of wheat."

"Well, is it caused by the influx of too many people?" Edith glanced at the list, "According to the above consumption, the surplus grain should be able to sustain the end of summer. Spring wheat can be harvested in mid-July, as long as it stops accepting refugees, This portion of food is also sufficient. "

"But City Hall must not stop the refugees' containment work."

"Because of the 100,000 population target set by Your Majesty?"

"No, that's not the point," Barov shook his head. "Now there are still refugees who continue to march from the two southeast borders to the gathering place. If they are abandoned, it will not only bring danger to Scarlet Water City and Willow Town, but also cause us Once the established image is ruined, it may be very difficult to recruit afterwards. Your Majesty has disclosed to me that the development plan he formulated requires a large number of people to achieve, 100,000 citizen is only the beginning. So City Hall cannot be just because of food problems. To disrupt the Your Majesty's arrangement, we must solve this trouble, which is also the responsibility of the Minister of Prime Minister, "he paused, looking to Edith Kant," do you have any good ideas? "
