Chapter 381: The Road

It's the regular meeting at the end of the month again, because the development speed of Wende City is too fast, so there will be a 'month-end summary' every month, which is also the thing that makes the noble officials feel the most distressed.

They have to spend a morning or even half a day in the council chamber – yes, it's a 'waste' for them!

At the end of each month, all officials of a certain rank were required to attend the meeting, except for those who were really unable to come, and this was requested by their chief maid, and if they did not come, they would bear the consequences.

Although the aristocratic officials also thought about whether to resign from this position, after all, for them, their status as nobles and lords was enough for them to enjoy, so why bother with these troublesome things?

However, the head maid also stipulated that if they did not have a position, they would not be able to transfer the officials in the town hall.

Of course, some nobles do not believe in evil, although they all know that the chief maid is 'a man of his word' and never tells lies, but they rely on their aristocratic status and resign from their positions in the government, and then they are very embarrassed to find that they really can't mobilize the government's resources at all, because they no longer belong to the 'national government', and the status of the nobleman cannot affect the government.

Government officials are protected by the law, and if you do anything to them, then the main culprit will be stripped of the title of 'noble' - because the Sadwind Leader is already independent, and everything is decided by the head maid!

Moreover, the head maid also stipulated that if a certain generation of nobles of a noble family could not make sufficient achievements, then the nobleman would be 'cut down'.

All the territories in the Sorrowful Wind Territory have been controlled by the chief maid, and if there is no government position and no way to mobilize the resources of the government, then the nobles can only pay out of their own pockets to 'make meritorious achievements'.

The enforcement of the law was guaranteed by the coercive power of the state, and the maid could not empty the power of the nobles without sufficient force to back it up.

With a group of 'extraordinary' combat power as a guarantee, the maids were able to empty their power when the nobles were afraid of this and that, and now, without the official seal of the government, the decrees issued by the nobles would not have the slightest legal effect, which made the nobles constrained, but even if they wanted to deal with the chief maid, they did not have enough power in their hands.

However, most of the aristocratic officials only came here to waste half a day drinking tea, and the town hall officials who came with them would do all the work, and they didn't need to worry about it at all.

"The roads between the towns have basically been built, the cement pavement has been paved, and the roads between the villages will be prepared according to the plan......

The nobles listened to the report of the officials of the Ministry of Construction and took a sip of tea.

They are used to this kind of life, and they are even the beneficiaries of the 'road construction' thing.

If there was no clear and smooth road in the past, it would have been more than just difficult to get from one town to another.

Sometimes, there may not be a 'road' between two towns, there must be a way out of the city, but people don't know where to go to the next town, and if someone who is familiar with the road leads the way, it can take more than five or six days to get from one town to the next.

The roads built by the Grim Wind Territory today are not only for the convenience of their own people, but also for the convenience of merchants and adventurers who come to the Grimwind Territory from other places.

There are roads leading to Winde City in all parts of the Sad Wind Territory, which existed before the arrival of the Black Dragon and the maid, and are now nothing more than a layer of concrete floor.

However, the 'Sad Wind Leader' is the entire territory, not just a city in Wende City, and now the market in Wende City is close to saturation, if it is not diverted in time, it may lead to overproduction, so that many merchants who come to the Sad Wind Territory to do business have to sell their goods cheaply, and by squeezing the market of similar merchants, they can not let the goods fall in their hands.

However, there is not only one Wende City, but also many towns, although because of the influence of Wende City, the commerce of other towns has also become slightly prosperous, but, because of the maid's previous policy, the commoners have also become rich.

Their consumption concept may not change anytime soon, but they will never mind making their lives a little better and more comfortable.

It is not a matter of letting the commoners save their money, the maid has to let them spend, and while improving the standard of living, the money that is consumed will be pocketed by the merchants, and some of it will flow into the local factories, and in this atmosphere of stimulating consumption, some people will continue to invest in the factories, so that they will have more reasons to open up the Black Forest.

The purchase of raw materials, production, transportation, sales, and reproduction is a cycle, and the premise of all this is based on the 'smooth road of the sad wind'!

Because the rest of the world is not convenient enough, there are no factories, and transportation is not convenient enough, so many businessmen have their eyes on this, and after Latinia tried to promote 'investment and build factories', a lot of money was immediately remitted to the Sad Wind Territory.

Because the difference is too great, the business of the Grim Wind Leader can develop so fast, and what the Sad Wind Leader is doing now is not to include all the wealth in the world into the territorial wealth, unlike the Ogordon Empire, which only enters and does not leave, what they are doing now is to put capital into production, and gradually complete the redistribution of wealth while increasing productivity.

In this era, the price of human resources and raw materials was very low, and the influx of adventurers and merchants brought a large market to the Sadwind Leader, and every production was profitable.

In the process of making a profit, part of the profit continued to sustain production, part of it was used for infrastructure, and the last part was invested in the production of 'high-end products', such as 'blue and white porcelain' and 'silk', as well as various equipment, and then these goods were dumped abroad to recover wealth from the aristocracy.

At the same time, through the guidance of the Church of Wealth and the Goddess of Wealth, the merchants of the 'Business Alliance' will bring out the backward means of production and spread them to the world.

In this way, some of the original backward management systems will be abandoned, human resources will be integrated, and another increase in productivity will be stimulated.

However, this will require a process, and this process will continue for a long time, because until now, the 'business alliance' has not been formally established, and naturally there is no mention of 'bringing advanced means of production out of the wind collar'.

The problem is back to the sad wind collar, stimulating consumption cannot be excessive, otherwise it will be counterproductive, so the establishment of a 'business alliance' is imperative, and the construction of roads is also part of this plan, because only in this way can merchants reach Wende City faster.

Although the maid also longed for the 'Grand Canal' that once extended in all directions, she was not able to build the canal while paving the road...... At least not now.

After listening to the report of the Ministry of Construction, the maid swept the officials in the audience who were a little disapproving, and sighed: "Everyone, you may be a little dissatisfied with my decision-making, thinking that the construction of roads is not as important as the construction of cities, yes, it is true-"

"But, that's later!"

The maid clenched her fists and pounded on the table, "If you want to get rich and build roads first, if there is no unobstructed road, because there are many mountains in the Sorrowful Wind Territory, it takes half a month to get from 'Grom' on the border to Winde City, but now? I have a regular meeting every month, but the nobles who live in the border towns can return to their homes after each meeting, what does it mean?" Because of the ease of access, Wende City can become what it is now, but other towns can't because you don't have enough convenient roads!"

"Now the Grim Wind Territory has roads in all directions, a road network all over the territory, no guides, no maps, and easy access, which means that other towns have the same commercial advantage if I want to!"

Hearing this, the aristocratic officials put down their teacups one after another.

They may be arrogant, but they are by no means stupid, and they have heard the meaning of the chief maid.

"The riches I want are not the riches of Wende Cityβ€”" The maid raised her hand and pointed at everyone, "What I want is the riches of the entire Sorrowful Wind Territory!
