Release that Witch - Chapter 1060

[Chapter 1039 A letter that needs a decision]

…

“Your Majesty, this is the financial situation for this week,” Barov put away the report in his hand, and said excitedly, “In general, the upward trend of various data is better than expected. It’s an exaggeration, if it were in the past, it would definitely be a miracle!”

“Well, you did a good job.” Roland leaned back on the chair, looking much calmer than the other party.

He naturally knew what the old minister was talking about by the miracle—ignoring the impact of the Demon Moon, the population and economic growth actually exceeded the peak seasons of summer and autumn, as if the heavy snow outside the window did not exist.

For people of this era, this report can be called a subversion of common sense.

After all, when the cold winter comes, people’s activities shift from accumulation to consumption, just like hibernation, and economic performance is sluggish.

The former Border Town was directly abandoned, even the people were gone, so how can we talk about trade and production?

But he is clear that the essence of hibernation is nothing more than a compromise to the environment. Human beings can stand out from thousands of creatures by virtue of their ability to transform the environment. The isolation, heating system and medical center have solved people’s worries, and the work in the factory is not afraid of wind and snow-when the environmental restrictions are expanded a little bit, this day will come sooner or later.

In addition, the enthronement ceremony and the establishment of the new king’s capital are also a key to the increase in data: people always like to run to lively places, and this has not changed for thousands of years.

Now the broad Chishui River seems to be a little crowded – the cement ship made by Neverwinter City broke through the 500 mark a few years ago, and its formwork has also developed a variety of modifications from the original flat transport ship. Slots are reserved for fast installation of passenger and commercial upper hulls, which are favored by many chambers of commerce.

Coupled with the business opportunities of large-scale population migration, cement ships have also appeared in the docks of other cities.

Since the news of enthronement spread, 500 to 600 people arrived in Neverwinter City through the inland river every day. A year ago, Barov thought 100,000 people would be an unattainable goal, but now the total population of the Western Territory is close to 200,000. , 90% of them are in Neverwinter.

This has also led to the fact that the new capital is completely different from other traditional cities-it has neither majestic city walls nor distinctions between inner and outer urban areas, but is divided by circles of streets that continue to expand outwards, like a building. A forest composed of houses is general.

Due to the similarity of the house styles and the lack of finely crafted ornate buildings, Neverwinter City has also been criticized by many people.

But these words fell into Roland’s ears, and they became another kind of boast.

If not, how could Neverwinter withstand the rapid population growth?

You must know that 200,000 means the total number of permanent residents in other cities. If you have to use a city wall to surround it and build several exquisite buildings such as cathedrals, clock towers, and palace halls, it will take decades. time.

Population is the basis of industrialization, the guarantee for opening more factories, and the prerequisite for economic prosperity.

As for the beauty or something, it is not within the scope of his consideration.

In other words, in his eyes, rows of steaming chimneys are much more beautiful than magnificent palaces.

And considering the lag of news dissemination, next year’s growth should be even more amazing.

“Keep it up, and you’ll get what you deserve.”

“Being your Hand of the King is already the best reward—and these changes all come from your wise decision-making, I just followed your request,” Barov said proudly, stroking his beard.

Roland couldn’t help but shook his head amusedly, “Do you have anything else to report?”

“Ah… yes, Your Majesty,” the old manager quickly took out two letters from his pocket, “Although these two letters are both addressed to the Administration Office, I think only you can make a decision.”

“Oh?” Roland took the letter paper, the sender’s name on the first letter was quite familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, “Kajin Feith?”

“Mr. Kajin is a master of drama in the old royal capital. He brought a troupe to Neverwinter City and wanted to present a new play for your ceremony, but you didn’t agree at that time.” Barov reminded.

Roland suddenly remembered that the first time he heard of this name was from the mouth of the businesswoman Margaery. When he was asked who was the most familiar person in the capital, he blurted out the name of the magic hand, and the result was very embarrassing.

And before the enthronement ceremony, the officials of the administrative office did report the matter to him, and brought the script like a treasure, but he glanced at it and rejected the other party’s request.

Leaving aside the fact that the specter starring Lorgar is his long-awaited highlight, this boring palace love story alone is enough to make people doze off.

“He left such a letter before he left. Although I don’t think it is necessary to bother you with such trivial matters… But he is a well-known man after all. Do you think…” After speaking, the voice of the boss became more and more The lower it is, the more hesitant to speak.

Roland also heard the overtones.

The date on the letter has been separated by almost a week, and I left it to myself until now, which shows that the other party has good intentions-the fourth prince has no appreciation for traditional dramas, and the previous rapid rejection has deepened this impression. Probably Rove was afraid of boring him, so he delayed until this time, just to let him glance at the letter written by the drama master.

It can be seen that the boss has a lot of respect for Kajin Firth.

Or it wasn’t just him, whether it was Margaery or the chief knight, people from the old capital seemed to have a good impression of this drama master.

If so, take a look.

Roland shrugged and quickly scanned the letter.

The content was actually a question about how to make a phantom.

Kakin wrote in the letter that he first sought the answer from the Star Flower Troupe, but was told by May that the troupe was only in charge of performing, and that it was the Witch Union that really transformed it into an illusion. The specific method may involve confidentiality, so she could not give an answer. .

So he wrote another inquiry letter to the Witch Union, but it was quickly returned on the grounds that direct mail was not accepted in the castle area.

In the end, he had to go to the administrative office again, hoping to ask questions on his behalf.

Roland was a little surprised by the other party’s persistent attitude – generally speaking, the more an industry leader is, the more he will be hit when subverted, but Ka Jin’s words are full of desire for phantoms, There was no sign of frustration at all.

“I see,” Roland said after pondering for a moment, “Let me reply to him for this letter.”

It’s just that no matter whether it’s a drama or a phantom, they are both propaganda tools for Neverwinter. He doesn’t have the time or energy to shoot an old-fashioned court love story, so it’s better to explain it directly and completely dispel the other party’s thoughts.

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Barov heaved a sigh of relief.

“What about the other one?” Roland asked while opening the envelope. Since it was sent to the administrative office, the boss should have screened it in advance.

“It was sent by a businessman who called himself Victor Lothar.”

“It’s finally not a trade request for packaging bags and popcorn this time?” Roland chuckled.

“Yes, what he wants to buy is cotton.” Barov nodded.

“Cotton?” Roland’s hand stopped involuntarily, “Neverwinter does not produce such things.”

“So what he wants is customization,” Barov replied, “to Miss Leaf from the Witch Union.”
