As the end of spring comes to an end and summer is approaching, Neverwinter's population growth is at its first explosive peak. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The campaign to send people to the southeast to solicit displaced people began to bear fruit - the efficiency of the emissary teams had increased greatly from the experience of the previous year, and hundreds of people had converged in Chishui City and Willow Leaf Town every day, waiting for ships from the west to take them to the rumored abundance and security of Neverwinter.

In order to properly accommodate these people, the town hall also commissioned merchants to rent temporary barracks at the meeting point and provided them with porridge and water free of charge, so that the displaced people would not have an accident before they arrived in the west.

The wharves in the border districts have become the busiest part of the city, with 90 percent of the police force used to maintain order and register the population, and there are always long queues in front of the quarantine checkpoints, and the officials in charge of household registration have divided the influx of displaced people into several categories, and then moved them into riverside prefabricated houses, caves in the west of the city, and formal residences.

For this reason, the busy town hall gives people a feeling of chickens and dogs jumping every day.

"The three sailing ships of Chishui City have just arrived at the dock, a total of one hundred and twenty-six people, the blue flag hanging on the mast, and the person in charge is Babu!"

"Again, what is this for today?"

"Fourth batch or fifth batch? Anyway, don't complain, let's go pick up the ship!"

"By the way, who replaced Babu on his way to Chishui City?"

"It's me!Wait, right away!"

"Remember to bring soap, there's nothing for sale there!"

Listening to the noisy conversation outside the office, Barov was a little worried, he didn't like a lot of things, if in normal times, the busier the work of the city hall, his mood would only be happier.

But lately, things have gotten complicated.

The reason lies with Edith Kant.

"Your Excellency, the Department of Justice has sent us another rush!" an assistant walked into the office, "Your Excellency Carter has asked for another hundred people to be recruited as reserve officers, and he says that if we do not increase the number of personnel, the law and order in the city will not be taken care of, and if Your Majesty asks about this matter, we will not be able to escape responsibility." ”

Tsk, isn't it just that he is the chief knight and can speak well in front of His Majesty, and he has no time to take care of such a trivial matter now. While drafting the documents, Barov did not raise his head and said, "Put it on the table first, I will deal with it later." ”

"Yes!"

As soon as the assistant closed the door, Edith's voice immediately rang in his ears, "This is the content of the recruitment order, right? Since you can't keep busy, I'll take a look at it for you." ”

Sure enough, it came! Barov groaned in his heart, and he didn't even use honorifics!

Of course, the other party is the daughter of the Duke of the North, and she is indeed much higher than him in terms of status, until she becomes the real Hand of the King, she can call her name directly without using an honorific title, but he can be regarded as half of the mentor of this eldest lady, right? After all, His Majesty arranged Edith to the governor's office as an assistant to learn the structure of the city hall department and the process of handling government affairs, but she doesn't seem to think so now.

"Hmm...... Okay, too. He said reluctantly.

Even if he is helpless in his heart, Miss Kant's words and deeds cannot be said to be wrong, if he blindly refuses and is passed on to His Majesty's ears, then it is called unreasonable. At such a critical time, you can't leave a bad impression on Your Majesty under any circumstances.

He will never forget that Roland Wimbledon is a demon king who can see people's hearts.

"Thanks. ”

Soon there was a rustle of writing on the table opposite.

Half an hour later, Edith put the recruitment order back in front of his desk.

"According to the draft I recently read, this type of recruitment generally requires reliable personnel and clean backgrounds, and there should not be many people left in the border areas like this. Rather than posting a notice in the square and asking interested parties to come to the city hall to apply, it would be better to draw the household registration directly from the archives and select 100 locals who do not yet have official jobs. The Ministry of Justice belongs to the majority of the city hall, and the salary and treatment are good, and no one will refuse it. If this is implemented, it will save about a week compared to the normal recruitment process, and the chief knight will have fewer complaints. If you think it's okay, I'll forward it to the archives with this approval. ”

Her voice is clear and organized, and it's hard to believe it's only been about two weeks since joining City Hall.

I remember that at the beginning, she just sat quietly and looked at the documents she reviewed, and rarely spoke, but now she is comfortable with all the matters of the city hall.

"Uh...... Just do as you say. ”

Barov couldn't think of a better way to deal with Edith's advice for a while, and it was even likely that in his busy schedule, he would ignore these less important things and deal with them in the usual way.

Is this the heir who grew up in the Duke's palace and was educated by the nobility?

Barov felt a deep threat.

That's right, honorifics and honorifics are trivial things, and what he really cares about is the power in his hands. The news of the Northlands' full service is now known, and if Edith was sent by His Majesty as an assistant in order to form a second-level town hall in the Northlands, it would not make much impact, but what if she stayed?

His Majesty is not yet married, and the other party is the daughter of a veritable duke!

The thought of this gave Barov a headache.

No, I have to let her know that the management of the town hall is not so easy to master, and His Majesty needs a minister who can coordinate the overall situation for him!

When Edith returned to the office, he cleared his throat and handed her the stats in his hand.

"It's ......"

"We're in trouble," Barov muttered, "and Neverwinter's stock of grain will probably not last until the wheat harvest arrives." ”

"Hmm, is it due to the influx of people?" Edith scanned the list, "Based on the consumption above, the surplus should last until the end of the summer." Spring wheat can be harvested in mid-July, and as long as the displacers are stopped, this part of the grain will be sufficient. ”

"But the town hall must not stop sheltering displaced people. ”

"Because of His Majesty's 100,000 population target?"

"No, that's not the point," Barov shook his head, "there are still displaced people from the southeast and southeast to the meeting point, and if we abandon them, not only will we bring the danger of rebellion in Chishui City and Liuye Town, but it will also ruin the image we have built, and it will be very difficult to recruit them later." His Majesty has revealed to me that his development plan requires a large number of people to realize, and that 100,000 people is just the beginning. Therefore, the town hall must not disrupt His Majesty's arrangements because of the food problem, and we must solve this trouble, which is also the duty of the Governor-General," he paused, and looked at Edith Kant, "Do you have any good ideas?"
