Chapter 55:Once in a Lifetime Opportunity

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

He tossed the letter to the assistant minister, and lay down straight to his chair, his feet on his desk.

If there were no outsiders, he really wanted to choke a little song.

"Your Highness, please mourn," said Barrov, soon after reading the paperwork, frowned, "that the King has unfortunately passed away, and the murderer is the Great Prince, which is a tragedy, and I do not know what you will do next."

"Golon's death is too tumultuous, and I want to see the decision of the third sister and the fifth sister to do it again," Roland said, "but in any case, there are some things we should guard against early."

Barov looked at the prince, waiting for the other below.

"The king may become turbulent because of this royal power change, the first thing to do is to take your relatives and family members."Of course, more importantly, in order to avoid the two princes threatening their subordinates with these people, for now, it is indispensable to maintain the administrative and financial operation of the border town.Roland took a sip of tea and continued, "You and Carter, and your men, have written a letter of family, and I will send my guard to the royal capital with me, and arrange them to be taken to other towns and villages."

“Not in the border town?”Barov was not a fool, and more than twenty years of political experience made him immediately understand the prince's deep meaning.

“No.”Roland did not want the other party to threaten his men with his family, nor did he want his men to think that he was threatening them with his family, so he chose a compromise method, first placed in other safer towns, and then waited for the border town to stand firm and then migrate.

"I know, thank you, your Highness for your concern," said the assistant minister, with a nod in his agreement, which relieved Roland.In the end, there are very few people who can use it.

“It is also about the ore trade, the recent suspension of the export of iron ore, which only sells gemstones to the town of Willow Leaf,” he commanded. “I need to leave this iron ore for use.”

“This will lead to a decline in fiscal revenues, Your Highness.”

“But not too much, the miners found a new gemstone deposit that could fill part of the gap,” Roland said.And there is no business in winter, and everyone is not willing to travel outside the day when the evil beast may be infested at any time, and it is likely that there are only two or three rounds of transactions in the long four months.For lightweight dhows, it is clear that transporting gemstones is a more cost-effective option.

“I see,” 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 is issued, you arrange it, a few quick reaction, strong players to the new team to be the captain."The training is conducted in the same way as was done last time.”

“Your Highness, if you follow the last training method, it will take a long time for the new team to come in handy.”

“That’s better than a bunch of ragups,” Roland waved to let him do as he said.Although such a trained team is far from an army, I am afraid that it is the level of college students' military training, but sometimes the combat effectiveness is compared with the opponent.In addition to the evil beasts that do not have a long-term brain, the most likely opponent he is to encounter is a group of "mixed army" temporarily cobbled together by private armies, mercenaries, and serfs, and as long as the equipment of cross-era weapons, the level of college students can almost cope with.

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

He had no idea it would happen so coincidentally!It is a pillow in the snow when it is sent charcoal and sleeps.

Is this bad news for yourself?Is it a difficult choice?What a mistake!He didn’t know much about Garcia Wimbledon, but she was by no means the kind of man who was killed.The prince was sentenced to death in such a short time, and even if there was no insider, she probably would not easily return to the royal capital.

He just has to follow suit.As long as they stay in the border town, someone will inevitably jump out—and the Duke of the fortress is probably the first to sit still.Otherwise, he will not rush to send the recall documents to himself in this damn weather.

The duke wanted to see himself one day earlier and to eat hard one day earlier.

If you choose to stay in the border town, it is tantamount to disobeying the new king's will.By the time the demonic month passed, the Duke would carry Tifeko Wimbledon’s flag and give himself a profound lesson.That’s what Roland needed.

If you ask what is most lacking in industrialization, the answer is undoubtedly people.

It requires a large number of people to invest in this huge production, turning people into parts and driving this huge machine.It is no exaggeration to say that it is precisely the land movement of sheep that has driven a large number of peasants from the land and made them free laborers, which laid a deep foundation for the subsequent industrial revolution.

The industrial age is so rough that as long as you continue to invest in the furnace of popularly educated workers, you can get rich returns.The more detailed the industrial classification, the population required will be multiplied.

Roland has been troubled by the population problem.

A total of more than 2,000 residents in the border town, even with the machinery of the new era, is just a workshop-style production.Without a large number of available populations, many projects cannot be started.But where did he get so many people to cheat?

Buying slaves?Not to mention where to buy thousands of slaves at once, adult slaves are expensive, and there is not much significance in cultivation.The training cycle of young slaves under the age of ten is too long, and even if child labor is hired in conscience, it will have to wait for years.

Recruiting people?How many people can this place attract?And the cost is only greater than the purchase of slaves.

Encouraged for more life?Compulsory marriage?Forget it...

He did not set his eyes on the long song fortress, but the kingdom was in a stable state, and he was joking about the future of the surrounding lords.And the Duke of Lane also dared not face to face himself, only to stumbling in secret.

But now it is different, after Tifeko ascended the throne, eager to all his competitors disappear, from this recall order can show his eager mood.The Duke of Lane could clearly see this, and once he had lost the restraints of the old king, as the West End master, he did nothing to call it strange.

This is the opportunity that Roland has been waiting for for a long time.

As the border of the kingdom, the fortress has a hundred-year-old town with nearly 10,000 permanent residents.And after the fortress, there are more large land and defenseless towns.If he defeats the Duke of the fortress and takes the city, he will be able to obtain a large number of free people, and at the same time complete the original accumulation of wealth.

What is easier to acquire than to annex a population?What is faster than stealing wealth?

The news was like a lighthouse of the fog, illuminating the direction of Roland.

He will not miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
