Release that Witch

455. Chapter 455, Building a City, Step 2

    In order to appease the uneasy feelings of the noble, Roland deliberately arranged a sumptuous feast.

    In the middle of the hall is a long table with white cloth. The noble comes to sit in the middle, and the middle is a variety of dishes, wine and flowers.

    After two glasses of red wine, the atmosphere eased a lot, plus the big noble has all fallen, Honeysuckle and Elk stood on the side of Roland, and the rest of the little noble will not jump out at this time to sing the opposite tone. Intention to take the initiative to rely on. In this situation, Roland knows that it is time to put his new order on the table.

    After a full meal, he handed out the small book prepared in advance to the noble hands.

    That is his “propaganda album” carefully prepared.

    “His Royal Highness…What is this,” Sure enough, soon noble was surprised to ask, “Why is the painting above actually so realistic? ”

    “Yes, it’s just like real.”

    “It’s not like drawing it…No pigment can express such delicate colors. ”

    No loss is the noble in the big city. It can be seen that these people have certain appreciation for painting. Roland smiled and said, “They are indeed painted by the artist, but if there is anything different, then this is The painter is a witch, and the paint she paints is omnipresent magic power.”

    These words made everyone’s body stiff, and the book in the hand was not, and it was not.

    “The local Church power has vanished, what are you worried about?”The prince raised a brow. “Witch is no different from us. I have verified this many times.”

    CoughCough,” Petrov almost screamed, “Your Highness is right.” ”

    “No loss is Fourth Prince, haha…Ha,” the other noble laughed awkwardly.

    Hey, it seems that he said a rather ambiguous word, Roland pretends to be nothing, and changed the subject – for more than a year as a prince, he found himself at a level that was not shocking…Or the thickness of the skin is soaring. “The picture is just to make the content more vivid. The story described above is the key point.”

    The crowd continued to look through a few pages, and Aurelian, the little girl of Elk Family, quickly raised her head. “Is this a family history of noble?”

    “Aurelian!”Ryan whispered the voice and reminded, “Give your Highness!”

    “Yes, he used to be a Western Region noble,” Roland made a gesture of “no one should remember him.”

    “His Royal Highness…I know him,” said one Knight. “Tigu Pine, he is my neighbor, and the land of the two of us has been put together. ”

    “I have seen him too,” another person recalled. “It seems to be a baron. His father is the vassal of Joe Kohl. Since Joey left the Western Region, his territory has declined. ”

    “The Viscount Tigu is currently in Border Town,” Roland smiled. “And this album records the passages I and he know…And what happened later. As you can see, he is a noble living under the new system. He is currently working on a musket. It is estimated that by the end of the Months of Demon, he will take his daughter and attendants to Hidden Forest to enjoy the hunting fun. It is. As far as I know, since he sold the territory of East of Stronghold and settled in Border Town, he has not been forgiven for one level, and his family has grown several times. ”

    Fear comes from the unknown, and the same is true of the resistance to institutional change, because they don’t know what impact they will have on themselves after the change. Roland asked Soraya to portray Tigu Pine’s small town life in the form of a comic, as an example of his own propaganda, to reduce the resistance and fear of the noble. Compared to those boring textual biographies, it is clear that the expressive power of comics is more vivid.

    “You should all know that I am about to build a city in the Western Region. In fact, I have been brewing this plan for a long time. At that time, Border Town, Longsong Stronghold and the narrow land between the two places will be integrated into one. ”Roland continued, “Some people will ask, how far apart the two towns are, how they might be one. First of all, the overall meaning refers to administrative, that is, new city will implement the same law and the same policy, which is why I want to recover the noble separatist and legal rights. ”

    “His Royal Highness, then our territory…”Someone asked.

    “It’s still yours,” he interrupted. “I said that taking back these powers doesn’t mean you will lose anything. The essence of segregation is to deliver your own territory to others to form your subordinate noble. Ways to strengthen your own strength, resist the enemy together, or work together to gain benefits. Under the new system, the task of defending against foreign enemies will be completed by a professional army. As long as you follow the rules, the benefits you earn will far exceed the past. After all, it’s better to make a bigger cake than to divide up a little cake. ”

    Seeing everyone’s silence, Roland took a sip of tea. “You have never been to Border Town, so I don’t know how big the cake can be. It’s normal. In fact, the financial income of small town reached 30,000 gold royals in the second half of the year. If it is not Months of Demon coming in advance, this number is likely to increase by about 10,000.”

    Noble, they are vacuuming, sucking, “three…30,000? ”

    Roland has already learned from Petrov about the financial situation of stronghold over the years. City Hall’s annual income is no more than this number, let alone these little noble. One hundred gold royals are huge for them.

    “And as a manager of all walks of life in the future, you will naturally get a good return.”He went on to say, “Returning to the construction of the city, in addition to the administrative unity, geographically, the two towns will gradually move closer. For example, I arrived in Longsong Stronghold from Border Town. It took only one day. When the construction of Kingdom Road was completed, the land walking time will be shortened to one day. If it is riding horses or cycling, it only takes half a day to arrive, let alone faster. The transportation tool is gone. ”

    “What is a bicycle?”Aurelian is curious.

    “A human riding tool that runs very fast on the ground,” the prince laughed. “I dare say five years…No, within three years, we can have breakfast at stronghold and then work in Border Town. ”Due to the adoption of the whole line, the Kingdom Road has shortened the distance between the two places to 60 kilometers and replaced it with a railroad locomotive or a car, which is half an hour.

    But most of the noble thoughts were not placed on this. Knight, who claimed to be a neighbor with Tigu Pine, asked cautiously, “His Royal Highness, what you said just now, do you want to give stronghold to us for management?” ”

    “It’s neither, nor is it,” Roland shrugged. “As I said before, after the city was built, the two places were administratively integrated, and stronghold would be transformed into a city area, under the jurisdiction of the central City Hall. But for now, the day is still too far, so I will set up a subordinate City Hall in Longsong region, which will divide many subordinate departments according to the current mode of Border Town, and you will work in these departments. Handle specific matters here. ”

    Lower levelDepartmentThe nobles have a confused look 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 bluntly said. “So when the order here is restored, You have to follow me to Border Town to see for yourself how a full-featured City Hall works. You also need to study one well to manage this course. ”
