Release that Witch Chapter 455: The second step of building a city
To appease the anxiety of noble, Roland specially arranged a rich feast.
In the center of the hall, there is a long table covered with white cloth. The noble comes to face each other, and in the middle is a variety of dishes, wine and flowers.
After the two glasses of red wine fell, the atmosphere eased a lot. In addition, the large noble has all fallen down, and Honeysuckle and Elk stood on the side of Roland. The remaining small noble will not jump out and sing anti-talk at this time On the contrary, the intention of active refusal was revealed. In this situation, Roland knows that it is time to bring its newly formulated order to the table.
After the meal is full, he will release the prepared notebook to noble.
That's a "promotional album" he prepared carefully.
"His Highness ... What is this," sure enough, and soon noble asked in surprise, "why is the painting above so realistic?"
"Yes, it's just like the real thing."
"It's not like drawing ... no pigment can express such delicate colors."
It's not noble in big cities. It can be seen that these people have a certain ability to appreciate painting. Roland smiled and said, "They are indeed drawn by artists, but if there are any differences, then It is that this artist is a witch, and the paint she paints is the ubiquitous magic power. "
These words make everyone stiff, and the book in their hands is neither, nor is it.
"The local Church forces have disappeared. What are you worried about?" The prince raised an eyebrow. "witch is not different from us. I have verified this many times."
"Cough ... cough," Petrov almost said, "His Royal Highness is right."
"It's Fourth Prince, haha ... haha," the other noble also laughed awkwardly.
Uh, it seems that I have said something quite ambiguous. Roland pretended to be casual and changed the topic to be a prince for more than a year. He found himself at an unshakable level ... Just to make the content more vivid, the story described above is the focus. "
The people continued to look at a few pages, and the little girl Aurelian of Elk Family quickly raised her head, "This is the family history of an noble?"
"Aurelian!" Ryan lowered his voice and reminded, "Call Your Highness!"
"Yes, he used to be an Western Region noble," Roland made a gesture without any fuss, "Some of you should still remember him."
"His Highness ... I know him," said one Knight, "Tigu Pine, he is my neighbor, and our territory was pasted together."
"I've met him," another recalled, "It still seems to be a baron, and his father is vassal of Joe Kohl. Since the adult Joey left Western Region, his territory has faded."
"The Viscount Tigu is currently at Border Town," Roland smiled, "and this album records what he and I have known ... and what happened later. As you can see, he is a living in the new system The next noble is currently busy practicing firearms. It is estimated that after Months of Demons ends, he will take his daughter and attendants to Hidden Forest to enjoy the hunting fun. As far as I know, since he sold the territory east of stronghold , The peace of mind after settling in Border Town, can not help but promote the rank to the first level, the family property has also increased several times. "
Fear originates from the unknown, and so does resistance to institutional changes, because they don't know what kind of impact they will have on themselves. Roland asked Soraya to depict the small town life of Tigu Pine in the form of comics. As an example of its own publicity, it is precisely to reduce the resistance and fear of nobles. Compared with those boring written biographies, the expressiveness of comics is obviously more vivid.
"You should all know that I am about to build a city in Western Region. In fact, I have been planning this plan for a long time. By then, Border Town, Longsong Stronghold, and the long and narrow land between the two places will become a whole." Roland continued, " Some people will ask how the two towns are far apart, and how can they be integrated. First, the overall meaning is administrative, that is, new city will implement the same law and the same policy. This is also what I want to take back noble Reasons for separation of powers and legislative powers. "
"His Royal Highness, our territory ..." someone asked.
"Still belongs to you," he interrupted. "I said that reclaiming these powers does not mean that you will lose any encapsulation. The essence is to deliver your territory to others to form your own subordinate noble. In this way, you can strengthen your own strength, resist the enemy together, or fight together to gain benefits. Under the new system, the task of resisting foreign enemies will be accomplished by a professional army. As long as you act in accordance with the rules, the benefits you earn will far exceed those of the past. .After all, it ’s better to make the cake bigger than to divide up that little cake. ”
Seeing everyone silent, Roland smiled and said, "You have never been to Border Town, so it is normal to not know how big the cake can be. In fact, the financial income of small town in the second half of the year reached 30,000 gold royal. It's not that Months of Demons arrived earlier. This number is likely to increase by about 10,000. "
noble people simultaneously took a breath, "three ... three thousand?"
Roland has already learned from Petrov over the years stronghold's financial situation and City Hall's annual income is not that much, let alone these small noble. One hundred gold royal is a huge sum for them.
"And you, as managers of all walks of life here, will naturally get rich returns from it." He raised his lips and said, "Back to the construction of the city, apart from the administrative unity, geographically, the two towns It will gradually come closer. For example, it took me only one day to reach Longsong Stronghold from Border Town. After the construction of Kingdom Highway was completed, the land walking time would be shortened to one day. If it is riding or cycling, it only takes half a day to reach, not to mention Faster transportation. "
"What is a bicycle?" Aurelian curiously.
"A human riding tool that runs very fast on flat ground," Wang Zi laughed. "I dare say five years ... No, within three years, we can have breakfast at stronghold and then work at Border Town. Kingdom Highway uses a straight line to shorten the distance between the two places to 60 kilometers, and replaced it with a rail car or car, which is half an hour.
But most of noble's minds are not put on this. The Knight, who claims to be a neighbor of Tigu Pine, carefully asked, "His Royal Highness, did you just want to leave stronghold to us for management? Right? "
"Neither," Roland smiled slightly. "As I said before, the two places after the establishment of the city are a whole in the administrative sense. stronghold will be transformed into an area of the city under the jurisdiction of the central City Hall. At present, the day is still too far away, so I will set up a subordinate City Hall in Longsong region, which will be divided into many subordinate departments in accordance with the current model of Border Town, and you work in these departments, responsible for handling specific issues here . "
"Subordinates ... department?" noble looked confused on their faces.
"Managing a region is a very complicated job. Although it can bring you good returns, it is not so easy to do a good job," Roland nodded. "So when it is here After the order is restored, you all have to follow me to Border Town to experience first-hand how a full-featured City Hall works. Regarding this course of management, you still need to study one well. "(To be continued.)
