Release that Witch Chapter 684: Snow in the early winter

Three days later, the day after winter, Barov brought the news that the Allied Trade Union contract was successfully signed.

The result of the final negotiation was that Margery was responsible for the sales of Greycastle in the Mainland, Sunset Island and Shallow Water Town supplied the island and Eternal Winter and Wolf Heart respectively, and Crescent Moon Bay won the other islands of the fjord, plus Kingdom of Dawn.

What surprised Roland was that he also saw an arithmetic equation on the contract. The main idea was to set a few main division conditions into unknowns, and fill them in according to the specific situation to get the share of revenue for the year.

"Who wrote this?" he asked curiously.

"My disciple," Barov grinned with a beard. "In summarizing, he found that instead of making a complicated schedule, it would be more appropriate to express this formula, and all three parties agreed with its accuracy. . "

"I don't remember teaching these in universal education."

"Aren't you offering an intermediate class? I bought a set of math textbooks for each disciple and told them to listen to Lady Scroll lectures whenever they had time." He lamented, "I am old and learn something I ca n’t keep up with these guys, so I have to make them cheaper. If I were ten years younger, I would definitely take these things with you at Your Majesty.

This horse took Roland comfortably, and can realize that mathematical knowledge is helpful to finance and administrative management. Minister Prime Minister also has a good vision.

"What about Edith? How did she behave in this negotiation?"

"Reluctantly," Barov coughed twice. "Although she was fascinated by the merchants, she was obviously inexperienced when it came to specific commercial terms. I guess she rarely agrees with After all, Northern Lands is not well-developed in commerce and trade. Unlike the old Kingdom Capital, Minister of Finance calls for visiting fjord merchants almost every day. I would like to do that.

"I see." Seeing that the other party was going to enter the recall mode, Roland quickly interrupted, "Since this is the case, you can teach her more."

Old Prime Minister's face froze, "Uh, this ... Your Majesty, she actually ..."

"That's it," he gloated, according to the frequency of Nightingale rubbing his shoulders from the back knows that the credibility of this statement is really not high. It's just that he doesn't want to ignore the competition like playing a small report. As long as he doesn't mess things up with then it will be alright, "Yes, how many new people did Neverwinter City add this year, did you achieve the expected goals?"

Although there is still a month or so before the end of the year, with the advent of winter, the immigration missions will return to Neverwinter City one after another, and the number of migrants will inevitably decrease. At this time, the number can basically determine whether the goal has been achieved.

When mentioning this, Barov's face burst into laughter and the wrinkles on his forehead were crowded into a gully. The embarrassment just now disappeared. "Your Majesty, City Hall have already been counted. citizen basically exceeded 80,000 people, of which 50% came voluntarily. In addition to the aboriginal people of the border area and Longsong region, the total population of Neverwinter City has reached 110,000 people! "

"Oh?" Roland is happy, "Has half of them come voluntarily?"

"Most of them come from the middle of the kingdom and the eastern region area. It is not obvious in the spring and summer. In autumn, the proportion will continue to rise. If this continues, by the next year, those rebels who support Timothy will be unable to sit It's over. "

It should be the effect of Tasa spreading the news of the defeat of Church to eastern region, but Roland still hopes that those nobles will stick to it for a while, so that he will have an excuse to eradicate them all and restore stability to the eastern region people. Ordered new King country.

"Are you ready for the winter?"

"The City Hall was ready two months ago," Barov said with confidence in answer. "Ministry of Construction commissioned Ms. Lotus to build a new batch of kiln holes between Impassable Mountain Range and Scarlet Water River to replace those leaky shacks. We A large amount of charcoal is hoarded to ensure that everyone can get a basket. "

After repeated cultivation by Roland, now City Hall is finally used to adopting "do not freeze one person in winter, kill one person without starvation" as an administrative goal, and implement it in various government measures.

He nodded comfortably, "Very good, tell me to Scroll, don't forget education in winter."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"In addition, I intend to launch a small-scale war under situation that does not affect the normal operation of Neverwinter City. The target is Extreme Southern Region. When Iron Axe makes a specific combat plan, you will cooperate with him to mobilize various materials." Wang Barov, Roland, walking to his side, patted him on the shoulder, "Rest assured, I have my own measure."

...

After Prime Minister left, Nightingale appeared in his body and asked puzzledly, "Is this okay? When he talks about Edith, it is obviously inconsistent with the actual situation. Even if he does not use his ability, he can see it from his expression." /

"If I rebuked him for this, I'm afraid he would not dare to suppress Edith directly," Roland said, "In order to maintain the balance of City Hall, someone must restrict Pearl of the Northern Lands. At present, only Barov can That's it. "

"Why restrict her? If she has enough ability to manage City Hall, it is not bad for you."

"Because ..." Roland opened his mouth, but suddenly found out that he didn't know what to say.

Yes, why restrict Edith?

Worried about her dominance?

This possibility is very small. As long as you are still King, you can replace her in one sentence. What's more, City Hall must not interfere in the army, and even if it controls all administrative departments, it cannot pose a threat to the throne.

In fact, after the City Hall clerks were selected according to the recruitment announcement and the salary was paid by the state treasury, the impact of removing a manager has been minimized.

Worried that she cheated and tampered with the order?

At least in Neverwinter City impossible, the effect of any decree will spread to Roland's ears, and the city is so big, the message delivery is almost real-time.

Before coming to this world, what he hated most was the way of checks and balances, especially in the workplace, when his boss regarded it as the king's art, he even sniffed at it. Unexpectedly, after becoming ruler, he also thought of it subconsciously ... if it was not for the reminder of Nightingale, he might not have realized that he was becoming the kind of person he hated.

Power does require checks and balances, but it is not a game of power played by another person or groups of people. It should be restricted by policies, institutions, and laws. In the absence of situation that violates these frameworks, it is the correct way to let the subordinates give full play to their talents.

Roland released a long breath, he pursed his lips and was about to say thank you to Nightingale, only to find that her eyes had completely focused outside the window.

"Look, it's snowing," she said softly.

Roland turned around and found countless white dots quietly appearing in the gray sky, like a light elf slowly falling.

Months of Demons is here.
