Release that Witch Chapter 269: First plenary meeting (below)
When it was Ministry of Chemistry's turn, Cam snorted, "Hi lord, I hope you can find the real person in charge as soon as possible. I don't want to come to this second time for this kind of meeting."
"..." Roland secretly rolled his eyes. After becoming a leader, he found that some words need to be selectively ignored. Where can a person who is involved in alchemy and chemistry be so easy to find? "Do you have any idea about the large-scale production of two acids?"
"No," Cam shrugged. "That ’s why I need to spend more energy and manpower to work on this project, instead of sitting here and wasting time." I spent a long time in small town, and he brought it with him. Some Roland-style vocabulary, "If I have to report, I can only say that the laboratory is short of people. The more people come, the better. In addition, these five of the joining are still clever, although they are not old. It seems The primary education you did is still a little useful. "
Well, the chief alchemist is probably the most disrespectful of his own words and attitudes, but considering the age of the other party and his enthusiasm for chemical experiments, Roland has no offensive emotions. To know that after he suffered an explosion accident and was completely cured by Nana, the first reaction was actually unbridled experiments, and he also planned to taste the taste of different acids. This enthusiasm is also no one.
"Okay ... you continue to research, I will let Barov find a way to fill the staff gap."
"Yes, Your Highness," Cam said again. "Have you written" Intermediate Chemistry "? If you can give me more information, maybe I can think of a large-scale acid production method earlier. . "
"I said at the ceremony, as long as the apprentices and assistants you cultivate can fill up the newly-built laboratory, I will give you the books," Roland said in his hand. In fact, the book is still Elementary Chemistry without any word. His little knowledge of chemistry has been hollowed out. Even if Intermediate Chemistry racks his brains, he may not be able to make up a few pages of content.
The fourth place is Minister of Construction Karl van Bate.
"First of all, I want to thank Lady Scroll," he nodded first to Scroll, "I'm really glad to learn that the children can successfully graduate."
Compared with the chief alchemist, Mr. Stonemason's communication talent is very different, and Scroll also nodded in courtesy, "This is what I should do."
Then Karl opened the logbook that it carried with it and said methodically: "Now all the projects of small town are under steady progress. The main major projects are Kingdom Highway, Scarlet Water Bridge, new residential houses and new city walls. Among them, the number of Kingdom Highway has been built. There are 4,500 people, half of them from Longsong Stronghold, which is expected to be completed next spring. Scarlet Water Bridge is still under construction of underground concrete walls. The residential quarters have been expanded to the old city wall nearby. The number of people to be built is about 1,000, as long as bricks and cement To ensure the supply, it should be possible to complete the established task of relocating all eastern region refugees into the town before the arrival of Months of Demons.
Because Karl usually reports the status of the project to Roland on weekdays, this statement is very brief. For example, he did not mention the expansion of the castle district and the construction of the witch building. In addition, after the location of the new city wall is completed, the line is completely constructed by Lotus, and the daily progress is maintained at about 100 meters.
"It's hard," Roland nodded. The engineering department is the department with the largest amount of staff and funding, so it has the most achievements. "Don't forget to promote the Border Town's preferential treatment policy while stepping up the construction. These come from stronghold After a year of practice, the handyman can be regarded as a qualified craftsman. You should leave them as small town as possible.
"Yes, Your Highness." Karl responded.
"Then next ... Iron Axe."
Iron Axe is the first time to participate in such a conference, and it seems a bit uncomfortable. He cleared his throat. "His Highness, the army is mainly two things. Firstly, Second Army has completed basic training and can be sent to stronghold at any time. Secondly, with the new blood of joining, First Army currently has 825 people. Aside from the 350 people of the artillery team, the rest of the soldiers have all been replaced with revolving rifle. That's all I want to say. "After the report, he made a military salute.
"Yes, let Second Army set off tomorrow. Remember to have reliable staff in the team. You can't interrupt daily training and mental training in stronghold, and report situation to small town every week." Roland instructed.
The last speaker was Barov. He first looked around the public for a week before saluting Roland without delay. "His Royal Highness, since the payment of transportation and Tasa to Margery Commerce last time, the gold inventory of City Hall The decline has been very serious. In addition to the great harvest this time, Ministry of Agriculture is still buying grain at normal market prices, resulting in only more than 2,000 gold royal stocks. This is a relatively dangerous limit.
Two thousand gold royals ... is undoubtedly a huge sum compared to last winter, but Roland also knows that situation of small town is no longer the same. The monthly payment for more than 5,000 workers in the Engineering Department alone is a huge expense, as well as First Army, factories, chemical laboratories, and City Hall, which are currently considered high salaries, all costing gold royal.
In other words, Border Town is making money fast and spending money fast. This is still based on situation, which is self-sufficient in most materials and machinery.
"I see. But when the Margery caravan arrives at small town early next month, it will be able to obtain a revenue by selling steam engine," Roland responded, "and the purchase of food and transportation refugees is not a daily expense, so I received In the next half year, the gold inventory should be able to increase steadily, you do not need to worry too much. "He paused," In addition, I plan to raise salaries for you. "
"Raise a salary?" Barov startled.
"Yes, now City Hall is no longer the one that runs by more than a dozen people. Your workload has increased significantly, and your pay will naturally go up." Wang Zi laughed. "From this month on, The salary is increased to five gold royal per month, and the department head is two gold royal per month. Then, referring to this ratio, the apprentices and assistants are also raised uniformly. Rest assured, this money is not much, which is about twenty or thirty gold royal.
Although the five gold royals are not generous for the position City Hall Prime Minister, Roland knows that Barov loves more rights. At present, all Border Town's financial revenues and expenditures are counted and distributed by him, and there is no supervisory department. You can leave it alone Can get hundreds of times the income. So far, he has not shown any signs of corruption in public funds.
Of course, in addition to relying on the consciousness of the other party, Roland can also use the Nightingale's ability to maintain the integrity of the department. Under her inquiry, no one can hide his bad behavior.
"In addition, one thing everyone may already know," he continued, "I plan to formally build a city here after Months of Demons ends. In other words, small town will be upgraded to a real city. This big city From the west to the wild wasteland, the east to the Longsong Stronghold, and the south to the hilly sea, its walls are natural mountains and natural dangers, and the area will far exceed Kingdom Capital, or even any city of Four Great Kingdoms. "
"So you still need to push ahead with the work in hand, and welcome the establishment of the new city with a better attitude," said Roland paused, one word at a time. "I hope that the city will be as warm as spring even in the endless cold winter. . "(To be continued., Your support is my greatest motivation.)
