After explaining the administrative integration plan, Roland picked up the teacup and took a few sips slowly, waiting for everyone to digest it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It takes a lot of people to maintain the day-to-day functioning of an area, and it is inevitable to bring the aristocracy into it until literacy is raised, since most of them have a primary education and have a little involvement in management. If there is an outstanding performer, he does not mind sending him out to manage a city, or even a realm, similar to the mayors and governors of later generations.

It was a few minutes before Roland began to explain the next question.

That is to fight crime.

In his vision of a new order, there is no place for the Dark Street in the city, and everyone can find a job to support themselves without having to plunder others. If it was a highly developed modern city, he was not sure that it would be able to do this, and the saturation of tens of millions of people and low-level jobs would lead to a large number of unemployed, but in the western border, plus the Changge Fortress and the entire suburban territory, there were only 60,000 or 70,000 people, and the infrastructure was still blank, as long as they were willing to work, they would not worry about having no work at all.

"How much do you know about rats?"

"What do you mean...... Street rats?" Wren Med coughed twice, "I've dealt with them. ”

"What kind of deal?" Roland asked with interest.

"This ......," Wren seemed a little embarrassed, "I used to be the leader of the Flame Gang, and I fought with several other rat gangs for turf. ”

"Poof," a few people at the scene burst out laughing.

Roland was also stunned for a moment, the second son of an earl's family would actually be a mouse......? It's a name, isn't it? He began to wonder if this man was really Count Med's own son.

"Your Highness, this is the way it is," Perro explained, "for a few years ago, the streets of the Docklands were rampant, and civilians and foreign merchants were killed almost every day, and the patrols turned a blind eye to this. Sir Wren couldn't stand it, so he took his own guards and went to the homeless area to gather a group of people and drove the rats from the docklands. At that time, he also wrote a letter about the daily battle situation and sent it to me, who was far away in the royal capital. In the letter, he said that it was a great battle, no less than fighting an evil beast, so I thought ......"

"Don't talk about it, Perro," Wren looked unexpectedly ashamed, "I was just bored and just had some fun to pass the time." ”

I see, this is probably the "feat" made by a nobleman who is keen on knight games in the second year of secondary school, Roland thought, for the second son of the elk who loved to fight since childhood, there is nothing more touching than a group of subordinates who are followed by a hundred echoes, although it is not to command thousands of troops, but the momentum of the two groups of people is not bad at all.

"What about this gang now?"

"Uh, I don't know," Wren touched the back of his head, "I haven't been in contact with those people since I joined the Hermes Line to fight the real beasts. ”

Roland nodded, "Actually, I intend to eradicate all the rats operating in the fortress so that every civilian can live in peace." ”

"Your Highness, with all due respect," Wren hesitated, "this ...... I'm afraid it can't be done. ”

"Why?" he frowned, "I have the First Army in my hands, is it possible that rats are more difficult than noble knights?"

"Not really," the other seemed to choose his words carefully, "they are weak and timid, they lack weapons and armor, and they don't know how to fight in formation, and they are not vulnerable to knights, but...... If you follow the rules of dealing with the rebels and clean them up as if they have become rats, I am afraid that there will not be a few civilians left in the entire fortress. ”

"What do you mean......"

"Rats and commoners change from moment to moment, Your Highness," Wren replied respectfully, "when the harvest is bad and the evil moon is long, many civilians have to do what rats do in order to survive. This is also the reason why most lords allow the Black Street to exist, and it is better to let them fight among themselves than to starve the people. ”

Roland's face sank, he didn't expect the rats to appear like this, "What about their organizers?"

"These people are repeat offenders, some of them are supported by local nobles, and some of them are exiled criminals from other places. ”

"Very well, I don't think any of you are cultivating rats," the prince glanced around the long table with a cold face, and the nobles lowered their heads, "but it doesn't matter, as long as you cooperate with my clean-up operation from today, I can be blameless." He paused, then looked at Wren, "I have a task for you. ”

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

"Over the next month, I'm going to focus on fighting all the crime in the fortress, and you'll need to work with the First Army to rid up the leaders of the gangs in the Black Streets and completely dismantle all the rat organizations. As for the specific method, I will arrange for someone to tell you. ”

"Your Highness, what about the members below, without the organization to provide food, it will be difficult for them to survive the Demon Moon. Wren worried, "Coupled with the early Evil Moon this year, there may be more of these people than in previous years." ”

"I will let Pero open a warehouse and release grain, and it will continue until the end of the evil moon. ”

"Your Highness, this is not going to work!"

"If you raise them, it will only make them worse!"

"That's right, I'm afraid the whole city will be beggars at that time!"

Hearing this, the nobles spoke out one after another.

Roland knocked the table, "I've already decided, you don't need to say more!"

He felt that the greatest difference between himself and the aristocracy was that they always speculated on the people at their worst, that they were lazy and ignorant, incompetent and despicable, and that they were incorrigibly greedy by nature. But he is well aware of the power of the people, and this group may seem stupid, but in fact, they are the backbone of this world only if they are given the right guidance and set an example. If the people were as useless as the aristocracy thought, how did they change the whole world again and again?

In fact, spending energy on the people is the most worthwhile investment. Even a small change can pay off amazingly.

"Finally, it is necessary to publicize the decree as soon as possible," Roland looked at Pelrot, "you have experience in this, just continue to expand it, and if the people can't understand the notice, you can find someone to read it, and the content is everything we are talking about today." ”

"Everything?" said the latter, stunned, "do you even want to tell me about the plan to clean up the rats?"

"That's right, including the news of the opening of the warehouse," he said again, looking around the crowd, "I will first teach you a prerequisite for the operation of a good town hall, that is, to inform the people of the policy in advance, to answer their questions, to listen to their feedback - so that the policy issued will not become a dead letter." ”

The reform of the aristocracy, the unification of the law, the integration of the administration, the crackdown on law and order, and finally the political propaganda, were the preparations for the establishment of a new order by Roland. (To be continued.) )
