It seemed that I had to work harder, so Roland shrugged secretly, and being thrown behind by his subordinates was not a glorious thing.
Fortunately, Chishui City has basically returned to stability now. Seventy percent of the nobles who passed the screening decided to continue to operate their original industries, while the rest hoped to try their luck at the city hall. Although it is no problem for them to apply for the basic requirements of applying for administrative examinations, Roland believes that the chances of these people passing the final review and becoming formal officials are not high.
After all, the nobles' habits of dealing with things are not so easy to change.
Of course, even being a clerk is much better than losing your head.
There were even three nobles who wanted to join the First Army. They were all knights, and under the observation of Nightingale, there was no intention of ill-intention. However, he still adhered to the decision made at the beginning of the army and refused the application of the three.
After solving the problem of recycling and exclusion rights, the efficiency of Chishui City and surrounding areas was obviously much more efficient. In more than a week, more than 20,000 people boarded the ships to Wudongcheng, and more people were still gathering in Chishui. The practice of giving up small towns and villages seemed to have reduced the control of the city hall, but in fact it greatly improved the control ability of the city hall.
In this era when even the road is scarce, it is no different to dream to let the government orders be implemented in the countryside. It is barely feasible to get a leadership team in a year, and it is difficult to let grassroots cadres blossom everywhere.
Barov had asked him more than once why he persisted in transporting the population back to Wudong City, rather than letting everything go as usual after unifying the kingdom. He never answered in a comprehensive and systematic manner.
Because the head of the city hall could not imagine how much population a coal-iron composite industry could absorb, nor could it be understood how much effort and time it would take to build such an industry.
And the most important point is that those remote territories cannot truly operate freely. From the perspective of resources, keeping them is a waste.
Therefore, concentrating the population in several major cities with convenient water systems is more suitable for the current situation of gray castle.
From the moment of land change, Roland truly possessed jurisdiction in the Chishui region.
And his next target is naturally Silver Light City.
Compared to the giant Chishui City, it is much easier to clean up the satellite city of this old royal capital. It was originally an ordinary fiefdom, no different from the dozens of fiefs surrounding the capital around it. It was not until the first open-pit silver mine was discovered that its existence became special.
As more and more precious metal ore veins were discovered, the place became more and more lively, and eventually it changed to what it is today.
Considering that the output of Silver Light City was of great significance to the grey castle coins, the latter lords were not only taken by the good-looking Earl William, who was loyal to the Wimbledon lineage, but his power was also limited. Over the past decades, almost no other nobles were enfeoffed.
In other words, as long as the city lord expresses his opinion, Yinguang City is his belonging.
With Wimbledon III's bloodline and the current status of the highest heir, Roland believes that it is not difficult to convince the other party.
But what he cared a little about was that this city built on the mine veins was also the home of the Nightingale.
Although the reply I got when I asked the other party was that I had broken up with the Glen family, so you don’t have to worry about my thoughts, he always felt that the Nightingale seemed to be avoiding something.
It was just that busy government affairs made Roland unable to take up too much time on speculation, so he had to temporarily suppress this matter.
On the fourth day after receiving the secret letter from Iron Axe, the First Army's Eastern Front Army drove into the Yinguang City territory along the artificial canal.
……
The itinerary for entering Chishui City was almost the same. Earl William led his team out of the city to welcome him. After the warm greetings, the dinner invitation was given.
The difference is that the welcome team in Chishui City is all feudal nobles, while the old city lord has many more merchants, even the old acquaintance Hog.
In the evening, the count's opening remark set the tone for the banquet and was willing to hand over the right to enfeoff and fully supported His Majesty Roland's new policy.
There was a sudden warm applause in the venue, which made the latter swallow all the prepared rhetoric in his stomach.
Hogg's threading needles and threading turned the welcome banquet into a business negotiation meeting.
Don’t you always ask me how the machine in the mine works?He said proudly in front of a group of merchants, now its true inventor is this Majesty Roland!This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You can get the answer directly in Yinguang City without going to the West!
The merchants immediately rushed over.
Dear Your Majesty, can you tell us why it is so powerful?
I don’t know if you are willing to sell more track systems, the Diamond Chamber of Commerce will be looking forward to its cooperation with Winter City.
Your Majesty, do you still remember the fast sailing?Two years ago, we provided you with several sailboats to transport refugees from the East. In terms of trade strength, we are definitely one of the best chambers of commerce in the central region. If possible, Kuaishang would hope to buy a complete set of steam engine manufacturing equipment.Of course, the price is absolutely great!
Thinking of the good news that the businesswoman Margaret once revealed to her, Roland couldn't help but feel amused and crying that Hogg would take a large number of businessmen to the West, but unexpectedly, he was in front of him.
How wonderful the world would be if the rest of Grey Castle were like Silver Light City.
After finally satisfying the curiosity of the merchants, he finally found the opportunity to be alone with the old city lord.
The two walked through the hall and walked onto the terrace of the evening breeze, temporarily isolated the noise of the banquet behind them.
Roland held the wine glass and looked down at the city under the night for a long time before speaking, "You don't feel sorry for the right to enfeoffment just like this?"
I have never really owned it, so how can I feel regretful... Earl William smiled. Your father and your father's father, although he did not say it clearly, would never allow Silver Light City to have a group of its own. The family motto of the William family is to never be enfeoffed, so it is not as important to me as you think.He paused a little, and I didn't need this power either.
unnecessary?Roland couldn't help but say a little curious.
The original intention of the enfeoffment was to strengthen and consolidate its own power in case of peeping others. Silver Light City did not have this risk. Anyone who had the idea of this city was tantamount to openly provoking the authority of the Wimbledon royal family. Therefore, as long as the family guaranteed loyalty, they did not have to worry about being infringed.The Earl sipped his wine, and in turn, the veto was also a weakening to itself in a sense. It divided the resources that originally belonged to others in exchange for the latter's effectiveness.I would rather manage these resources in person than putting them into the hands of others.Do you know how much output has increased in Yinguang City in the past two decades?
Roland shook his head.
Sixteen times, I have invested most of my energy to this... The old city lord said with great enthusiasm. At first, it was just an open-pit silver mine, and now there are more than ten kinds of ore veins excavated; at first, there were only collection teams sent by the royal family, and at present, there are not only various ore and jewelry merchants here, but also many auxiliary industries developed through mining, such as oil lamps, mine shovel manufacturing, etc. Your steam engine can also be considered one of them. Am I right?
That's true, Roland smiled.
This feeling is like raising a child. Watching it grow up gradually, how can I bear to cut it open and seal it to others?So I don't need such power.The Earl breathed a sigh of relief when he said this. Your Majesty, would you please let me continue to run this city with silver light for you?
Of course, if you want, he raises the wine glass to the other person, the two smile at each other, and then the glasses touch each other gently, making a crisp sound.
By the way, Roland drank the wine and changed the topic. Do you know what happened to the Glen family?
Glen?Earl William thought for a while before raising his eyebrows, saying, "I have a little impression, but I don't remember it very clearly. After all, there has been no new nobles in Silver Light City for a long time. These families have existed here before the silver mine was discovered.If I remember correctly, the last Glen should have changed his surname two years ago, and now the land belongs to the Somei family.
When the other party said this, Roland felt the Nightingale grab his arm in an instant.
Fortunately, Chishui City has basically returned to stability now. Seventy percent of the nobles who passed the screening decided to continue to operate their original industries, while the rest hoped to try their luck at the city hall.
