Chapter 180 Demographics

8days ago Xuanhuan Novels 9
Roland has been immersed in a happy mood recently.

Even when sitting alone in the office, he would hum two small songs from time to time and recall the wonderful time in the hot air balloon basket.

Anna closed her eyes and asked for a kiss, looking so cute that just thinking about it would make him unable to help but lift the corners of his mouth.And the most important thing is that the meaning of her words has undoubtedly revealed her passionate emotions.

The only thing he could do at that time was to respond to her more enthusiastically.

So much so that when Roland landed, he felt a little pain in his lips.

Perhaps it was because the kiss that was too long made her breathing difficult and she used her teeth when she was panic?

No matter what, he hasn't experienced this feeling for a long time.

When life is approaching a quarter, the skills seen in TV movies, novels and comics finally come into play, and the object is still such a beautiful and charming Miss Anna. Roland feels that she has finally taken the first step to winning the life.

Taking a satisfied breath, he reached into the drawer, trying to chew some snacks to calm his joy, but he felt empty. The beef jerky was obviously Ah that he had just put in yesterday.

Roland looked back at the nightingale lying by the window, who whistled, pretending to be watching the scenery casually.

I specially replaced the dried fish with beef jerky to prevent the nightingale from stealing it. I didn’t expect that she would refuse everyone to come?

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door.

Your Highness, Sir Barov asked for a visit.

Let him in.

Instead of hiding his figure as before, Nightingale pulled down her hood and returned to the recliner by the wall to sit down.

The assistant minister pushed the door and saw that there were other people in the office. He was stunned for a while, but soon returned to his normal expression.

Your Highness, the demographic statistics for this month have been made.He handed over a roll of parchment.

So fast?

With the registration file for the people, it is much more convenient to count this now. The assistant minister smiled and said, "Your previous decision was really a wise move."

Well, now everyone has started to flatter... Roland spread out the paper scroll and saw that the number of items was arranged in categories according to the different occupations of the people in the Border Town, which looked clear at a glance.

Compared with the reports that didn't even distinguish between paragraphs when we first came, Barov's ability has made great progress.

The first group is also the largest group, serfs, with a total of 3,628 people (including family members).There is also a line of notes below: There are 1,500 serfs engaged in farming.

Your Highness, is there a little farming population?Barov pointed to the first point and said that according to Senieri of the Ministry of Agriculture, if the town no longer imports food, it is probably necessary to double the farmland and manpower there to meet the food needs of the border town.

Roland had some impression of the name Seni, and should be a knight from the Wolf's family.

The 1,500 people engaged in farming were the serfs who were originally sent. The subsequent batches were transferred by Roland to the mine or Carl's construction team. They also received the same guarantee that as long as they work for a period of time, they can be promoted to free people.

I didn't plan to be self-sufficiency this year. Now there are still a lot of wheat stored in the castle warehouse, which is enough for two or three months of consumption.Moreover, the newly planted wheat this year is not much the same.

Not much the same?Barov was stunned.

Well, you'll know then, Roland smiled.

That is the Golden No. 1 with improved leaves. The yield per plant is at least three times higher than that of ordinary wheat. It will definitely surprise everyone when it reaches a bumper harvest.

This is also the reason why he doesn't want to invest too much of his population in agriculture.

With the magical crops with leaves, only a few farmers will be required to support the majority of the people in the future, thus saving valuable human resources and investing them in industrial development and urban construction.

He continued to look down.

The second line of parchment is the construction personnel, and the following notes are very complicated, including stonemasons, bricklayers, mudgers, carpenters, handymen, etc.

The total number is more than 1,100 people, most of whom are handymen acting as serfs.

It is precisely because of the joining of these new forces that Bianfeng Town can quickly build batches of residential areas and factories to form, batch and program the building, which is an important means to accelerate the construction progress.

Although in Roland's eyes, such speed is still not enough, it is already shocking for the locals.

The third line is mining personnel.

Very similar to the above construction industry, the number of local residents in Bianfeng Town has dropped to 25, mainly responsible for steam engine operation, mining registration and management.

The remaining 1,600 people were outsiders, including the mercenaries captured in the Battle of Changge Fortress and the serfs sent there one after another.

Several recent fights have occurred in the mining area, Barov said, mainly the conflict between mercenaries and serfs, which is a hidden danger, Your Highness.They have too many people, and once the trouble starts, they can't control them by relying solely on twenty-five managers.I suggest that the First Army be responsible for assisting the guards.

Well..., Roland thought about it for a while, and just did it. Now there is insufficient staff and there is no way to form a police force.I would tell Iron Axe that a team of about fifty people should be enough.

What is the police...?

You can understand it as a patrol team, but the scope of the jurisdiction is much larger, and they basically complete internal security.In this era, there is no distinction between internal and external violence, so letting the army manage its own security will not become its own dark history.

Before solving the huge enemy of the church, he did not intend to disperse his manpower to form a second set of violent machines.

The fourth place is the No. 1 Army in Border Town.

After the end of the battle of the fortress, the reputation of the First Army resounded throughout the Western Frontier, 300 people defeated the Duke Alliance of 1,500 at a very small price, causing the fortress nobles to lose the courage to resist.

After rewarding merits, Roland doubled the size of the First Army to 600.

As soon as the recruitment list was issued, the town names that enthusiastically registered filled the entire square.

Roland still selected 300 indigenous people with excellent qualities and no criminal record to join the First Army according to the concept of the people's army.

All the remaining are all kinds of technicians.

For example, the smelting and firing industry has increased significantly in the past month, from the initial 20 to about 400.

Thanks to the furnace expert Losya, the North Slope furnace group can not only produce red bricks, but also fire cement and glass.

At the same time, three vertical furnaces are being erected. Soon after, the ore placed in the yard can be first melted through the vertical furnace and then transported to the required place.

As for education, chemistry, industry, and animal husbandry, there are less than fifty people in total, so from the perspective of demographic statistics alone, Bianfeng Town still has a long way to go.

However, it is already earth-shaking that a small town, which was originally composed of hunters and miners as its main population, could become like this in half a year.

Hunters have basically disappeared now, and hunting has become a hobby from survival. Excluding those who have joined the First Army or the smelting industry, there are still nearly a thousand people in the town who are unemployed.

When the literacy part of popular education was completed, Roland decided to bring all these leaders into factories to start the prelude to industrial production.
