Chapter 180:Demographics

Roland has been in a pleasant mood lately.

Even when sitting alone in the office, he would hum two little songs from time to time, recalling the good times in the balloon basket.

Anna closed her eyes and kissed so cute that just thinking about it made him unable to help but start his mouth.And the most important thing is that the meaning of her words has revealed the hot emotions.

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

So when he landed, Roland felt some pain in his lips.

Probably too long a kiss to make her breathless, panic when using the teeth?

In any case, he has not experienced this feeling for a long time.

When life is close to a quarter, the skills that seem to be from TV movies and novel comics are finally in use, and the object is still so beautiful Miss Anna, Roland feels that she has finally taken the first step in life.

Satisfied, he put his hand into the drawer, wanted to chew a snack to calm the joy, but he felt an empty - these beef jerky was obviously put in yesterday ah.

Roland looked back at the nightingale lying at the window, who had whistled and looked carelessly at the landscape.He deliberately replaced the dried fish with beef jerky, in order to prevent the nightingale from stealing, I did not expect her to refuse to come to the beef jerky.

At that moment, footsteps sounded outside the door.

“Your Highness, Sir Barrov, please.”

“Let him in.”

The Nightingale did not hide its body as before, but pulled down his hood and sat down in the recliner position on the wall.

The assistant minister pushed in, saw the office and others, and froze, but soon returned to his normal appearance.

“Your Highness, the demographics of the month have been made.”He handed a roll of parchment.

“So fast?”

“With the register of citizens, it is now much easier to count,” laughed the assistant minister. “Your previous decision was wise.”

Well, now they are starting to pat their ass... Roland spreads the paper rolls, only to see that according to the different occupations of the people in the border town, the number is arranged in categories, and it seems clear at a glance.Barov's ability has also made significant progress in comparison to the statements that have not even been divided when they first crossed.

The first line is also the largest group, the serfs, which currently total 3,628 (including their families).There is also a note below: fifteen hundred serfs in agriculture.

“Your Highness, is there too little of the population working in agriculture?”Barov pointed to the first article and said, “According to Seni Erie of the Ministry of Agriculture, in order for the town to stop importing food, I am afraid that the farmland and manpower will have to be doubled to meet the food needs of the border town.”

Roland had some impression of the name Seneney, which should be a knight of the Wolf family.The fifteen hundred peasants who were engaged in farming were the first serfs, and the subsequent batches were transferred by Roland to the mines or to Karl's construction team - and they were given the same assurance that they could be promoted to free people if they worked for a while.

“I didn’t plan to be self-sufficient this year, and now there’s a lot of wheat stored in the castle’s warehouse, enough to be consumed in two or three months.And the wheat that is planted this year is not the same.”

“Isn’t it different?”Barov nodded.

“Well, you’ll know then,” Roland laughed.It was the first gold to improve the leaves, and the yield of a single plant was at least three times higher than that of ordinary wheat, and it would definitely surprise everyone by the harvest.That’s why he doesn’t want to put too much of his population into agriculture.With the magic of the leaves, only a few farmers will be needed to feed the majority of the people in the future, so as to save valuable human resources and invest in industrial development and urban construction.

He continued to look down.

The second line of parchment is the construction staff, the following notes are very complicated, there are masons, masons, masons, carpenters, handymen and so on.The total number was more than 1,100, the vast majority of whom were handymen of serfs.It is also because of the addition of these new forces that the border town can quickly build a batch of residential areas and factories - the template, batch and proceduralization of the building is an important means to accelerate the construction progress.Although in Roland's eyes, this speed is still not enough, but for the locals, it is shocking.

The third is the miners.

Much like the construction industry above, the number of local residents in the border town has dropped to 25, mainly serving as steam engine operation, mining registration and management.The remaining 1,600 were outsiders, including mercenaries captured in the Battle of the Fortress of Long Song and serfs who were sent in succession.

“There have been several brawls in the mines recently,” Barov said, “mainly a contradiction between mercenaries and serfs, which is a hidden danger, Your Highness.”They are too many people, and once they get up, they can’t control it with twenty-five managers alone.I propose that the First Army be responsible for assisting the guards.”

"Well . . .," Roland thought for a moment, "just do it, there's no shortage of people now, and there's no way to form a police force."I'll tell Iron Axe that a musket of about fifty people should be enough."

“Police... what is it?”

“You can understand it as a patrol, but the scope of the jurisdiction is much larger, and it is up to them to basically internal security.”This era is not divided into internal and external violence, so letting the army take charge of security will not become its own black history.Before solving the great enemy of the church, he did not intend to decentralize his manpower to form a second violent machine.

In fourth place was the first army in the border town.

After the end of the fortress battle, the prestige of the First Army resounded throughout the western land - three hundred men defeated the Dukes of the Union of 1500 at a very small cost, and the fortress nobles lost the courage to resist.After the award, Roland doubled the size of the First Army to 600.And this time the recruitment list has just been sent out, and the name of the town that is enthusiastically registered is crowded with the entire square.In accordance with the concept of the people's army composed of the people, Roland selected 300 indigenous people with good quality and no criminal record, and joined the First Army.

The rest are all kinds of technicians.

For example, the smelting and firing industry has increased significantly in the past month, from the initial more than 20 people to about 400 people.Thanks to the "furnail expert" Los Ya, the northern slope furnace group can not only produce red bricks, but also burn cement and glass.At the same time, three vertical furnaces are being set up, and soon, the ore placed in the yard can be first smelted through the vertical furnace, and then transported to the place where it is needed.

As for education, chemistry, industry, and animal husbandry, there are less than 50 people, so from the demographic point of view, the border town still has a long way to go.However, the small town, which originally consisted of hunters and miners, can become like this in half a year, which is already earth-shaking.

Now the hunter has basically disappeared, the hunt from survival forced into a hobby, to plow up those who joined the first army or the smelting industry, there are still nearly a thousand people in the small town in the unemployed.When the literacy part of the universal education was completed, Roland decided to pull these leaders into the factory and open the prelude to industrial production.(Unfinished.
