Release that Witch - Chapter 693

[Chapter 684 The Snow of Early Winter]

Three days later, that is, the second day after winter, Barov brought news of the successful signing of the joint chamber of commerce contract.

The final result of the negotiation was that Margaery was in charge of the sales in the interior of Graycastle, Sunset Island and Shallow Water City supplied the main island, Eternal Winter and Wolfheart respectively, and Crescent Moon Bay took over the other islands in the fjords, plus the Kingdom of Dawn.

To Roland’s surprise, he also saw an arithmetic equation on the contract, to the effect that several main sharing conditions were set as unknown numbers, and filled in according to the specific situation, he could get the year’s share of income.

“Who wrote this?” he asked curiously.

“My disciple,” Barov stroked his beard and said with a smile, “when summarizing, he found that instead of making a complicated schedule, it would be more appropriate to use this formula, and all three parties agreed on its accuracy. ”

I remember that these were not taught in popular education.”

“Didn’t you set up an intermediate class? I bought a set of mathematics textbooks for each student, and asked them to listen to Master Shujuan’s lectures whenever they had time.” He said He sighed, “I’m getting old, and I can’t keep up with this group of lads, so I have no choice but to take advantage of them. If I were ten years younger, Your Majesty, I would definitely bring these things with you every day to read them.”

This horse shot made Roland feel comfortable, and he realized that mathematics knowledge is helpful for financial and administrative management. The Minister in charge has a good vision.

“Where is Edith? How is she doing in this negotiation?”

“Barely enough,” Barov coughed twice, “Although she fascinated those merchants, when it comes to specific business When it came to terms, she was still obviously inexperienced. I guess she rarely dealt with maritime merchants. After all, the business in the Northland was not developed. Unlike the old capital, the Minister of Finance summoned visiting Fjord merchants almost every day. Back then—— ” “I see,”

Roland

quickly interrupted seeing that the other party was about to enter memory mode, “In that case, you should teach her more.”

also……”

“That’s it,” he gloated. According to the frequency of Nightingale pinching his shoulder from behind, the credibility of these words was not high.

It’s just that he doesn’t want to pay attention to this kind of snitch-like competition, as long as he doesn’t mess things up, “By the way, how many people have been added to Neverwinter this year? Has it achieved the expected target?”

Although there is still one year before the end of the year, It will take about a month or so, but with the arrival of winter, the immigrant missions will continue to return to Neverwinter, and the number of migrants will inevitably decrease significantly. At this time, the number can basically determine whether the goal has been achieved.

As soon as this was mentioned, Barov’s face immediately burst into a smile, the wrinkles on his forehead were squeezed into gullies, and the embarrassment just disappeared, “Your Majesty, the city hall has already counted, and the people who moved from all over There are basically more than 80,000 residents, and 50% of them came here voluntarily. Including the aborigines from the Border Region and Changge District, the total population of Neverwinter City is as high as 110,000!”

“Oh? Roland was overjoyed, “Half of them came voluntarily?”

“Most of them came from the central and eastern regions of the kingdom. It was not obvious in spring and summer, but in autumn, the proportion began to increase. If this continues, By next year, those rebels who support Timothy will probably not be able to sit still.” It

should be the effect of Thasa spreading the news of the church’s defeat to the east, but Roland still hopes that the nobles will persist for a while , so that he can have an excuse to eradicate them together, and return the people of the Eastern Realm to a stable and orderly new kingdom.

“Have you prepared for the winter?”

“The city hall was ready two months ago,” Barov replied confidently. We bought a batch of cave dwellings to replace those shacks with air leaks. We have stockpiled a large amount of charcoal to ensure that everyone can get a basket.”

After repeated edification by Roland, now the city hall is finally used to using it as an administrative goal and implementing it in every article. Government measures are up.

He nodded in relief, “Very good, tell Scroll for me, don’t forget to educate in winter.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“In addition, I plan to start a small-scale war without affecting the normal operation of Neverwinter. The target is the extreme south. Wait until Iron Ax makes a specific battle plan, and then cooperate with him to mobilize various supplies.” Looking at Barov who hesitated to speak, Roland walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder, “Don’t worry, I have my own measure.”

After

the manager left, Nightingale appeared and asked inexplicably, “Is this okay? When he talked about Edith, it was obviously not in line with the actual situation. Even if he didn’t use his ability, he could tell from his expression.”

“If I reprimand him for this, he might not dare to face up again.

Suppressing Edith,” Roland spread his hands, “In order to maintain the balance of the city hall, someone must restrain the Pearl of the Northland, and at present, only Barov can do this.”

“But why restrict her? If she has enough ability to manage the city hall, it won’t do you any harm.”

“Because…” Roland opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn’t know what to say.

That’s right, why does UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com restrict Edith?

Worried about her dominating the family?

This possibility is very slim, as long as he is still the king, he can replace her with one sentence.

What’s more, the city hall is not allowed to interfere with the army, even if it controls all the administrative departments, it cannot pose a threat to the throne.

In fact, when the city hall clerks are selected according to the recruitment announcement and paid by the treasury, the impact of removing a manager has been minimized.

Worrying about her deceiving others and tampering with government orders?

At least it is impossible in Neverwinter, the effect of any decree will be heard in Roland’s ears, and the city is so big, the transmission of news is almost real-time.

Before coming to this world, what he hated the most was the way of checks and balances, especially in the workplace, when his boss regarded it as a kingly way, he even sneered at it.

He didn’t expect that after becoming the person in power, he also thought of this subconsciously… If it wasn’t for Nightingale’s reminder, he might not have realized that he was gradually becoming the kind of person he hated.

Power does need checks and balances, but it is not a power game played by another person or a few people, but should be constrained by policies, institutions and laws.

As long as these frameworks are not violated, it is the right thing to do to let people make full use of their talents.

Roland heaved a sigh of relief, he pursed his lips, and when he was about to say thank you to Nightingale, he found that her eyes had been completely focused on the window.

“Look, it’s snowing.” She said softly.

Roland turned around, and found countless white spots quietly appearing in the gray sky, like light elves slowly falling.

The Demon Moon has come.
