Release that Witch - Chapter 417

[Chapter 410 Expectation]

The water vapor condenses on the window glass to form a uniform layer of white mist, like a thin gauze curtain.

The slamming sound of the cold wind beating the windows from time to time is in stark contrast to the quiet interior of the fire.

Scroll sat at the long table in the city hall office, flipping through volumes of thick documents.

The content of the document has nothing to do with education, but the statistics reported by various departments. She will write down these things whenever she has time, so that everyone can refer to it. This is also one of her main tasks recently. The Ministry of Education does not have much to do. deal with.

After all, the second round of assessment has just ended, and the next round is estimated to be implemented next summer.

After working for His Royal Highness Roland for half a year, she discovered that His Highness has an extra preference for data. He likes to convert anything into a long list of precise numbers to describe. Horizontal ratio, year-on-year ratio, and chain ratio are all terms that are often talked about. , Up to now, all members of the city hall have also been infected with this ethos.

As the town’s population grew, the relevant statistics also increased dramatically. His Highness entrusted this task to himself, and even joked that he was the database of Border Town.

Although it sounds like something like a warehouse, His Highness described it as extremely important, saying that with the database, it is possible to calculate the development of the next year and formulate economic and military plans.

Even all strategies in the territory in the future will be based on data analysis.

“Lord Scroll,” the wooden door of the office was suddenly pushed open, and a woman dressed as an apprentice walked in. She saluted and handed an application form in front of Scroll, “Hello, I’m Fuya, Lord Carter from the Ministry of Justice. I hope to obtain the information of the fugitives who passed the residency review last week, and your excellency has approved this application.”

Due to the limited usage of the branch ability, His Highness stipulated that Barov’s consent must be obtained before querying complex data.

As for individual data, you can ask her for advice at any time.

“Wait a moment,” Scroll glanced at the signature on the list, then summoned the book of magic power, and displayed the corresponding content on the page, “Okay, give this to Mr. Carter.”

“Thank, thank you.” She carefully picked up the golden book that appeared out of thin air, as if she was embracing an evil beast.

“Don’t worry, it won’t hurt you.” Scroll couldn’t help laughing, most people will show such an expression when they touch the magic book for the first time, “You don’t need to return the book, after two hours It will disappear automatically, but according to the confidentiality charter, you must not give it to anyone other than Carter.”

“Yes… my lord.”

The other party bowed to leave, and the moment the door was pushed open, Shujuan could see the crowded scene in the hall. Noisy voices flooded into the room in an instant, and soon quieted down as the door closed.

Today is the weekend, which is supposed to be a day of rest, but the city hall is still as busy as ever.

Everyone already knew the news that Border Town was about to be built, and they worked extremely hard, and with the overtime salary reward proposed by His Royal Highness, no one wanted to stay at home at this time.

Shujuan doesn’t quite understand His Highness’s approach. In her opinion, the work of the city hall is not that heavy. Compared with the miners and kiln workers who consume a lot of energy, writing documents, statistical data, and making reports are all less important. How much effort is needed and this is also the main job of the city hall.

As long as His Highness gives an order, everyone will gladly obey it, and there is no need to increase the salary on this.

For most nobles, his approach was too lenient.

His Royal Highness Roland does not look like a real lord, this is the view in the bottom of the book, but it is such a person who has led everyone to where they are today. It has to be said that it is a miracle.

She didn’t think so out of her own respect and trust, but the data clearly explained all this: compared to a year ago, only miners in Border Town could get a stable income, and now the miners, kiln workers and handymen with the lowest salaries Both have doubled, and some emerging occupations, such as steam plant assemblers and acid plant operators, have paid as much as eight times as much, and the number is still growing.

Not to mention the changes in the town itself. If one hadn’t lived here all the time, it would be hard for anyone to believe that the town now is the same place as it was a year ago.

The scroll stroked the handwriting on the document. She couldn’t imagine what the territory under His Highness’s control would look like in the future, but she believed that it must be a road full of hope and surprises.

“Ms. Scroll,” the wooden door was pushed open again, and this time it was His Highness Roland’s personal guard who came in, “His Highness has something to ask for you.”

…

Back on the third floor of the castle, Shu Juan saw that His Highness the Prince was arranging the manuscript paper in his hand.

“Do you want me to record these things?” She rolled up her black hair that was blown by the cold wind, tied it back behind her head, and asked proactively.

“That’s right, in order to write this book, I lost at least half of my brain cells,” the prince rubbed his neck, and muttered some incomprehensible words in his mouth, “Even if it was commonly used at the time I can only make up a rough idea, and some formulas have to be derived by myself.”

Scroll has long been accustomed to this. She ignored those strange words and curiously picked up the manuscript, only to see that the words on the cover were an unprecedented orange, also made up of a string of coined words, which together meant calculus.

After flipping through two pages casually, she gave up trying to figure out the meaning of the title, and concentrated on memorizing the above content. Compared with the equations she learned before, she found that the above formulas didn’t even have numbers, and they were all weird Symbols are like a whole new set of characters.

I am afraid that only Anna and Tilly are interested in thinking about this kind of thing.

“By the way,” Roland asked, “What is the per capita income of residents now?”

“The lowest is ten silver wolves per month, and the highest is forty silver wolves,” Shujuan replied while memorizing calculus, “but calculating the average requires the use of the book of magic power. I have already used this ability today.”

“It doesn’t matter, it’s the same if you give me the results the day after tomorrow.” Roland waved his hand, “I need to use this value to determine the cost of residential water and heating. The collective heating project will officially start in a week. When it is completed, no matter how long it is In winter, it will be as warm as spring here.”

A Neverwinter city that is not afraid of severe cold is also part of the miracle, she thought, “If there is no other task, I can give it to you tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow… I hope you can turn the book of magic into a storybook,” Roland smiled and shook his head, “as long as it’s something Anna hasn’t read.”

“Storybook?” Shujuan was startled for a moment, then immediately understood, “Tomorrow is Miss Anna’s…”

“Awakening Day.” The prince nodded.
