Chapter 389: Recruitment

This is the idea that Duanmu Huai gave to King Gandhi.

Although King Gandhi's control over the civil officials is not good, fortunately, the army is still firmly in the hands of King Gandhi. King Gandhi first mentioned the invasion of the demons in Lisas at the morning meeting, just to set the tone for the subsequent proposals and turn it into a "military task".

Military tasks and political tasks are completely different, and the problems that King Gandhi is worried about do exist. In this case, building a satellite fortress city in the hinterland that echoes the royal city is indeed a very urgent military task.

One of the reasons why Lisas was so miserable at the beginning was that most of Lisas's troops were on the border, and no one thought that the enemy would directly attack from the middle, resulting in that when the Herman soldiers attacked, Princess Leah had nowhere to run and could only surrender.

After all, no one thought that this would happen, right?

If the construction of a fortress city is regarded as a military task, then it cannot be delayed by political means.

This is like a battle on the front line, asking the rear for food and grass, if you dare to say no, you will be dragged out and killed.

So when faced with this situation, the financial chief Zruchi had to give it whether he wanted to or not, which was equivalent to King Gandhi directly taking back most of the financial authority from him. After all, the construction of the fortress city cost a huge amount of money, enough to occupy a large amount of national treasury funds, and as long as these funds were controlled and commanded by King Gandhi on the grounds of "military mission", then the remaining money in Zruchi's hands would have no influence.

So King Gandhi specifically said "send troops to supervise", which meant to keep an eye on Zruchi and prevent him from making trouble.

You fat guy dare to delay military spending? Those legion generals don't care what excuses or difficulties you have, they will kill you directly!

In addition, another purpose of sending troops to supervise is to supervise those Level 2 citizens.

As the saying goes, poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people, and only when you have enough food and clothing can you know honor and disgrace. There must be something hateful about pitiful people. It is indeed pitiful that the Level 2 citizens are oppressed, but if you think that they are all good people, that is ridiculous. There are also many hooligans in the Level 2 citizen neighborhoods. If there is no military supervision, it is a miracle that these people can do a good job!

"This............"

The people present are all old foxes. After thinking about it, they immediately understood King Gandhi's idea. Soon, the Chief Justice Istora spoke.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to use those stupid and lowly Level 2 citizens to complete such an important construction task?"

"You should know the workload of building a fortress city. It is not enough to rely on Level 1 citizens alone."

"We can postpone it for a few years..."

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, King Gandhi's eyes widened and stared at Istora.

"Wait for a few years and wait for the demons to invade, right?"

"Of course not!"

Even Istora didn't dare to answer this question. It's okay for Lisas and the Free City Alliance, which are far away from the demon border. In Herman and Seth, two countries bordering the demons, fighting against the demons is "politically correct". Anyone who dares to oppose it is really risking his life!

And these senior officials also know that they have different political views with King Gandhi, but they have always relied on their power and dared to confront King Gandhi. But I didn't expect that King Gandhi would use Lisas's incident as an excuse to build a new fortress city with the goal of resisting the demons. It's been less than a year since the demon invasion of Lisas ended, and people from all countries still remember it!

If they dare to oppose it, not to mention the Level 2 citizens, those Level 1 citizens might be able to spray them to death!

Now, facing King Gandhi's words, everyone was speechless.

Building a fortress city is a military task, and it must be completed as soon as possible. In this case, it is definitely not enough to rely on Level 1 citizens alone, so it is reasonable to recruit Level 2 citizens. After all, even if the Level 2 citizens don't know magic, there are many of them.

To build a fortress city, people are definitely needed!

And the Level 1 citizens are basically in their positions and doing their jobs, so there will definitely not be many people to be transferred.

So... transferring Level 2 citizens is a natural thing, and they have no way to object!

"Not only that."

King Gandhi paused here, then looked at everyone.

"I also plan to issue an order that Level 2 citizens who perform well in the construction of the city can be promoted to Level 1 citizens during the construction of the city and live in the fortress city!"

"What!?"

Hearing this, the senior officials below couldn't help it.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely not allowed!"

Soon, another person spoke hurriedly.

"In this way, what will those who worked hard to become Level 1 citizens think? They..."

"If they are willing to go to the fortress city to move bricks and build the city, I am also willing to reward them. The fortress city is the most important construction project during my tenure. Special matters must be handled specially, and no one can disobey!"

King Gandhi's words blocked the senior officials and made them unable to continue.

“But…”

Although some people wanted to say something, they thought about it and didn't speak. Although it was indeed very unpleasant for them to let the Level 2 citizens become Level 1 citizens in this way. But King Gandhi also said that these Level 1 citizens would only live in the fortress city, which means that they would never have any contact with them. In this case, they would not care too much.

At most, they would just set the standard higher.

"Chihezi, I'll trouble you to handle this matter."

Seeing that the people below didn't say much, King Gandhi also hurriedly made a decision. He was the king after all. Although this idea was proposed by Duanmu Huai, King Gandhi also used means to get it passed as soon as possible. He took advantage of the chaos among the senior officials and first proposed the huge plan of the fortress city to completely disrupt their thinking, and then proposed one by one to send Level 2 citizens to build the city and to upgrade the Level 2 citizens with outstanding performance to Level 1 citizens.

Although these high-ranking officials were all cunning, they could not react to so much information in such a short time. As their leaders, Ladon and Zruchi were in conflict over the death of Saham, and they had no unified opinion at all. Therefore, King Gandhi did not give them more time, but decided on this matter quickly.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Chizuko had already communicated with King Gandhi, and naturally would not give the high-ranking officials time. Almost as soon as King Gandhi finished speaking, she hurriedly nodded, without even a second of delay in between.

No need to act.

"Okay, spread the news."

Seeing that everyone else bowed their heads and did not speak, King Gandhi was relieved. Of course, he did not change on the surface at all and quickly issued an order.

Soon, King Gandhi's order was spread, and it also caused shock in the entire Kingdom of Seth!

Level 1 citizens were indeed shocked, but if they thought about it carefully, they would definitely not want to abandon their superior living conditions and build a city in a bitter and cold place, so they did not have much objection.

After all, someone has to do the dirty work. If they don't want to do it, let the Level 2 citizens do it. Even if the Level 2 citizens really succeed, they will just be the same as them, and it is impossible to oppress them.

So most of the Level 1 citizens don't care much. Although some of them are angry, this is not a political task, but a military project. They dare not resist. There is no other way except to nag behind their backs.

This is also Duanmu Huai's idea. This is the same as the distribution of college graduates. Everyone knows that if you go to support the border and help the poor, you will definitely get extra points in politics in the future. But how many people are willing to endure hardships?

Wouldn't they rather find a 007 job in the city?

In addition, there are objective reasons for choosing Level 2 citizens. As mentioned before, Level 2 citizens don't have to work and only live on relief food. Except for worrying about being bullied by Level 1 citizens, there is nothing else.

But people's energy always needs to be vented. If you don't vent, something will happen!

So these bored Level 2 citizens either joined the resistance organization, became bandits, or acted arrogantly in the Level 2 citizen area.

Now, having a job gives them a place to vent their energy, which is at least better than doing evil everywhere.

Building a fortress city is more of a casual talk for Level 1 citizens, but it caused a huge shock among Level 2 citizens!

The country recruits Level 2 citizens to build fortress cities, and those who perform well can even be promoted to Level 1 citizens and live in fortress cities!

At this moment, almost all Level 2 citizens in the country are boiling!

Before this, the only way to become a Level 1 citizen is to become a magician, so when those Level 2 citizens failed the assessment, they lay flat, anyway, they didn't know magic, and that was it for their lives.

But now, after hearing this news, these Level 2 citizens are also very excited!

Indeed, they may not be able to become magicians and can't use magic.

But who can't move bricks!

Anyone with hands and feet will be good! !

Moreover, those who perform well can become Level 1 citizens and even live in the fortress city?

Then this city is not built for those arrogant Level 1 citizens, but for themselves!

So the Level 2 citizens who were lying flat became excited and rushed to the registration site!

In just one day, hundreds of thousands of people signed up!

"This... This is too scary... "

Sitting in a wheelchair, looking at the dense crowd not far away, even Uruze was stunned at this moment.

This is also part of Duanmu Huai's plan. Since Level 2 citizens are to be accepted, a prestigious person must be needed to lead the Level 2 citizens. Level 1 citizens are definitely not good enough, and Uruze is just right. Although the Ice Flame Organization that she worked hard to run has done some extraordinary things, at least the Level 2 citizens of Seth have a good impression of Uruze and the Ice Flame Organization, so Duanmu Huai simply recruited her.

Let her be the representative of the Level 2 citizens, assisted by Kagura Xun, to carry out this fortress city plan project.

To be honest, when Xun told Uruze that she was King Gandhi's confidant and wanted to recruit Uruze, she was also confused. But after listening to Duanmu Huai's plan, Uruze suddenly found that this was indeed a way to get the Level 2 citizens out of their current predicament!

So in the end, she agreed to recruit.

But Uruze didn't expect that so many people would come!

Fortunately, before this, Duanmu Huai had guessed that similar situations would happen and asked King Gandhi to send troops to maintain order, otherwise it would have been a mess!

"Okay, then I'll leave the matter here to you."

Duanmu Huai patted Uruze's shoulder. With Xun's help here and Uruze's reputation, there would probably be no problem.

"Hey? What about you, sir?"

"I'll go back and sleep for a while."

Anyway, I have the idea, and it's up to you to do it next.

After all, the Inquisitors have always been like this. They are responsible for trial and purification, and they pat their butts and leave after they are done. As for dealing with the aftermath, it is left to the planetary governor.

What does it have to do with them?
