21. Development

The construction of White Pigeon Town is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Sean arrived a day later than expected because he was entangled with the three sword-wielding priests of the Ice Church in the middle. However, the development of the territory, at present, he really doesn't need to worry about it, although William has always said that he is not good at handling internal affairs, but in fact, as long as this guy is serious, he can actually do well.

Of course, there is no such thing as perfect, but there are no mistakes, and any link is carefully arranged. And what's even more rare is that even if there is something wrong in the middle or something that needs to be changed, William also has a backup plan that can be properly solved, in Sean's eyes, William's so-called lack of good at internal affairs should be relative to Neil, but it is true that William is more mind-consuming to deal with this kind of thing.

And when Sean arrives in White Dove Town, there are many places in the town that have been fenced, and these places are about to be demolished or rebuilt. To make up for it, each family could get a small "demolition fee" - a name that Sean had come up with, and William thought it seemed appropriate, so he used it that way. Of course, this cost will not be too much, only three to five gold coins, that is, the expenses of a family of three for a month, but William promised these people, and when the new urban planning is completed, these people can be allocated a set of residences.

In this world, the expansion from a small town to a city is a great good thing for the townspeople of a town. In the territory of most lords, not only did the townspeople have to help with the construction unconditionally, but even some towns also needed to raise funds to purchase materials, and when it was necessary to re-plan the layout of the town, the houses in the town were also forcibly demolished, so sometimes. Some of the more black-hearted mayors will even use this method to deal with the townsfolk who are against him or who he hates.

Fortunately, William himself was in charge of White Dove Town, and the plan was also decided by him and Sean together, so naturally I couldn't tell what the mayor said. Moreover, the demolition not only has a demolition fee to pay, but also promises that these townspeople can still get a house in the future, so naturally no townspeople will come out to oppose it. But even if they want to object, they just dare to be angry and dare not speak, who dares to really come out to trouble the lord Sean?

According to William's plan, after the town of White Pigeon is increased into a city, it will be able to accommodate a permanent population of 30,000. If you include the hotels and taverns that will open in the city at that time, it can accommodate nearly 50,000 people at its peak. The city defense will be served by the White Wing mercenaries, and another two hundred will be added to make a thousand-strong force, with Puda of Red Leaf Town as the commander of the guard; The barracks outside the city will also be appropriately converted into a cavalry camp. It was filled by the original White Pigeon Town Militia Regiment, and the initial establishment was 500 light cavalry. Equipped with spears and swords. With mobility as the first consideration, Rena would become the first commander of the cavalry unit, with Stalin and Aldolf as auxiliaries.

As for Nock, William plans to let him return to Red Leaf Town as the commander of the militia group for a while to further hone his temperament. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that this person was strongly recommended by Puda. William didn't plan to reuse it at all, because this person had a hostile feeling towards Sean and the territory, and such a person was naturally an extremely dangerous person in William's eyes.

In addition, the original town of Panda will also be completely renovated. In William's plan, the town was to be converted into a purely military building to serve as the base camp for the Iron Wings. And Anno will become the first commander of this army, but considering Anno's command ability, William is ready to go to this place together and stay for a period of time, at least after teaching Anno how to manage a legion, he can leave with confidence.

And Alfred, Sean and William all felt that it would be better for her to stay with her daughter, and there should be no need to let the veteran out anytime soon. Of course, the reason for this arrangement for Alfred is mainly that the opinions of Sean and William diverged for the first time - according to Sean's idea, he planned to let Alfred form a mercenary group, not a mercenary group but a mercenary group, after all, Alfred was originally the head of the mercenary group, and he was naturally very good at dealing with these things, and this can also strengthen the momentum of the territory from another aspect, after all, the work of the mercenary group can take anything, You can even make a cameo appearance as an adventurer or pioneer if necessary.

However, William didn't think so, he felt that it was really dangerous for Sean to always run around alone, especially after being attacked by three priests with knives from the Ice Church, William felt the need to equip Sean with a personal guard. His original intention was to select the best of the white-winged mercenaries and the Northland barbarians to form a hundred-man personal guard, which Alfred would be in charge of, and this personal guard could not participate in any combat or training, but they had to protect Sean closely.

Because of this difference in opinion, no one could convince anyone, so Alfred, who was currently thousands of miles away, was temporarily left aside.

For William's insistence, of course, Sean knew that it was his good intentions, but there were some things he really couldn't say.

To form a mercenary group, there is naturally a purpose for Sean, at least if you get props such as treasure maps in the future, you can also secretly let Alfred dig them. And if a mercenary group grows bigger, the network it develops is also very strong, which can also play a role in Sean's many future arrangements. It's just that William doesn't know if he doesn't trust mercenaries by nature or what's going on, so he completely scoffs at Sean's statement, in his opinion, if the army of a territory is strong enough, why do you need so much nonsense, and if you have this time to fund a mercenary group, it is better to invest all the money in the military affairs of the territory.

In this regard, Sean can only be helpless.

But in any case, the addition of White Pigeon Town as a city is at least proceeding in an orderly manner.

It's just a piece of land in the center of the town square, which has been demolished, and this is the residence of the mayor and some rich people, how can they possibly look at the subsidy of three or five gold coins?

But this place, in William's planning, was already to establish a city lord's mansion, a lord's courtyard where Sean would have a resting place after he came, and a city defense military office for the future may even be William's special commander's mansion, and now there is also a large-scale headquarters of the Church of the Goddess of Ice and Snow and Winter, how dare the mayor of White Dove Town and those rich merchants care about these?

Of course, William did not make these people too ugly, in addition to the city center, the other parts of the newly built city will be divided into several districts, and the time will be arranged according to the division of these areas, among which the urban area of South Main Street will be the concentration area of the rich, and the urban area of East Main Street will become a concentration of taverns and inns, which is also considered for the direction of being able to concentrate on supervision.

After all, if there is really a trouble, the city defense army can also arrive quickly, and centralized control can also reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Of course, Sean will not have any opinions on William's method - but even if he has an opinion, he can't understand it, at most he just puts forward his own opinion, let William refer to it and then make changes. As for how to deal with it, Sean really doesn't know anything with a black eye, and naturally has to endure William's cynicism, but Sean is indeed thick-skinned, so he naturally completely ignores William's ridicule.

Within a month of returning from Red Leaf Town to White Pigeon Town, the situation in the entire territory seemed to be very calm, and there were no unsightly or unexpected circumstances. And Simi, as one of the three major magicians under Asuna, is really a masochist in Sean's opinion, and has been almost glued to William's side recently, and there is not a day when he has not been taunted by William - of course, a large part of this is because mocking Sean has no effect, and taunting Simi can also provoke some reactions, so Simi is naturally more painful.

But the next day, Simi went back to William.

As for Sean, he has been busy brainwashing the Northland barbarians recently, and Sean himself actually doesn't understand the doctrine of the goddess of ice and snow and winter, but the Northland barbarians are even worse than him, so it makes Sean too addicted to fooling people. It's just that when the townsfolk of White Dove Town began to come to listen and raise some doubts and questions, Sean began to be overwhelmed, so Sean finally had to ask William to find someone to invite Shefanio over, and she would be in charge of these things.

And after Shefanio came to White Dove Town, he brought a surprise to Sean.

The former Priest with a Knife from the Church of Cold Ice named Tini had actually regained the strength of the lower bronze in just one month, and the route he took was actually a priest with a knife, which was enough shocking news. And according to Xuefanio's prediction, if there is no accident, Tini will be able to recover to the strength of the upper bronze next month, but the priest with the knife of the goddess of ice and snow and winter is not as simple as the Ice Church, so it will not be easy for her to re-enter the silver realm at that time.

In addition to this information, William also received news that the lords of several territories around Panda Territory have obvious traces of troop transfer, and they have already stationed troops on the border, and it seems that a war is about to break out first. (To be continued.) )
