Release that Witch

55. Chapter 55 is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity

    Roland pushed the door open and Barov had been waiting in the room for a long time.

    He threw the instrument at the Assistant Minister, lying down on the chair, with a tripod on the desk.

    If there is no outsider present, he really wants to take a little song.

    “His Highness, please mourn,” Barov quickly read the papers and frowned. “King died unfortunately, and the murderer was First Prince. It was a tragedy. I don’t know what you want to do next.”

    “Gerald’s death is too embarrassing. I want to see what happened to Third Sister and Fifth Sister,” Roland said. “But in any case, there are things we should take early to prevent.”

    Barov looked at the prince and waited for the other’s below.

    “Kingdom Capital may become turbulent because of this change of royal power. The first thing to do is to pick up your loved ones and family members.”Of course, it is more important to prevent Second Prince from threatening his own officials. For now, to maintain Border Town’s administrative and financial functions, Assistant Minister is indispensable. Roland took a sip of his mouth and continued. “You and Carter, as well as your men, have written a book, and I will take the personal guard and take it to Kingdom Capital to arrange for them to be taken to other towns.”

    “Not for Border Town?”Barov is not a fool. Twenty years of political experience has made him immediately understand the prince’s deep meaning.

    Don’t use it [or “don’t need it”]Roland didn’t want the other party to threaten his family with his family, and he didn’t want to think that he was threatening them with his family. So he chose a compromise method, first settled in other safer towns, and then waited for Border Town to stand firm. Then migrate again.

    “I know, thank you, Your Highness,” Assistant Minister nodded and agreed, which made Roland relieved. In the final analysis, there are too few talents available to them.

    “In addition to the ore trade, the recent iron ore suspended exports and only sold raw gems to Willow Town,” he told. “These iron ore stones need to be left behind.”

    “As a result, the fiscal revenue will fall, Your Highness.”

    “But it won’t drop too much, and the miners found a new gem mine bed that could make up for some of the gaps,” Roland said. And there was no business in winter, and everyone was reluctant to go out on business in Evil Beast’s possible days. In the long four months, there are probably only two or three rounds of trading. For lightweight dhows, it is clear that transporting raw gems is a more cost-effective option.

    “I understand,” Barov recorded these.

    After the Assistant Minister left, Roland called Carter Lannis again. “I need to expand the size of the militia team. After the recruitment, you can arrange it. Let’s take a few quick response and the strong players will be put into the new team to do Captain. Training is based on the method that was implemented last time. ”

    “His Royal Highness, if you still follow the last training method, the new team may take a long time to come in handy.”

    “That’s better than a group of disorganized mobs,” Roland waved and asked him to do what he said. Although the team trained in this way is far from being an army, I am afraid that it is the level of military training for college students, but sometimes it is necessary to compare Battle strength with opponents. In addition to the Evil Beast, which is not long-term, the opponent he is most likely to encounter is a group of “mixed army” temporarily assembled by private army, mercenary, and serf. As long as the weapon of the era is equipped, the level of college students can almost cope.

    After Carter left, Roland couldn’t help but laugh.

    He did not expect that such a coincidence would happen! It is simply a charcoal in the snow and a pillow when you sleep.

    Is this a bad news for yourself? Is it a dilemma? Wrong! He doesn’t know much about Garcia Wimbledon, but she is by no means the kind of person who is being slaughtered. First Prince was sentenced to death in such a short period of time, and even if there was no insider, she would not easily return to Kingdom Capital.

    He just has to follow suit. As long as you stay in Border Town, there will be people jumping out – and stronghold Duke is probably the first person to sit still. Otherwise, he will not send the recall documents to his hands in this ghostly weather.

    Duke adults want to see it one day earlier, and it’s hard to sleep early.

    If you choose to stay in Border Town, it is equivalent to defying the new King’s decree. By the time Months of Demon has passed, Duke will play a profound lesson with the banner of Timothy Wimbledon in all likelihood. And that’s exactly what Roland needs.

    If you ask what is missing in industrialization, the answer is no doubt human.

    It requires a large number of people to invest in this large-scale production, turning people into parts, and driving this huge machine. It is no exaggeration to say that the United Kingdom has the enclosure movement of “the sheep to eat people”. It has laid a deep foundation for the later industrial revolution by driving a large number of peasants out of the land and making them free laborers.

    The industrial age is so rude, as long as the workers in the furnace are continuously invested in educated people, they can get rich returns. The finer the industrial classification, the more people it needs to expand.

    What Roland has been plaguing is the population problem.

    Border Town has a total of more than 2,000 residents. Even if there is a new era of machinery, it is just a workshop-style production. Many projects are not available without a large population available. But where did he go to steal a lot of people?

    Buying slaves? Not to mention where you can buy thousands of slaves at a time, the slaves of adulthood are expensive, and there is not much cultural significance. The training period for younger slaves under the age of ten is too long, and even if the child labor is employed with conscience, it will take several years.

    Recruit talent? How many people can you attract this kind of border land? And the cost will only be greater than buying a slave.

    Encourage more life? Forced marriage? Nevermind

    He didn’t look at Longsong Stronghold, but the kingdom was in a stable state. He started with the surrounding feudal lord and was joking about the future. And Duke Ryan is also afraid to face up to himself, only to secretly lie down.

    But now it is different. After Timothy is on the throne, he is eager to see his competitors disappear. From this recall order, he can see his eagerness. Duke Ryan obviously can see this too. Once he loses the constraints of the old King, as the leader of the Western Region, he doesn’t do anything to make it strange.

    This is Roland’s long-awaited opportunity.

    As a border town of the Kingdom, Longsong Stronghold operates a century-old town with nearly 10,000 permanent residents. After stronghold, there are more land and unprepared towns. As long as you beat stronghold Duke and win the city, he will get a large number of free people and complete the original accumulation of wealth.

    What is more likely to gain population than annexation? What else can accumulate wealth faster than plunder?

    This news is like a lighthouse that dispels the fog, illuminating Roland’s direction.

    He will never let go of such a rare opportunity.
