Chapter 194 Promotion

With the completion of this census, the number of people under Roning's rule reached more than 14,000, meeting the requirements of 5,000 and 10,000 populations stipulated in the second and third levels of the [Prosperous Population] achievement.

Just like completing the [Lucky Fortune] achievement twice at one time, Roning also received two rewards at one time this time.

As the two lines of prompt text disappeared from his sight, Roning's attribute points and energy essence increased by 250 and 500 points respectively.

He did not check the attribute panel immediately, but carefully flipped through the parchment in his hand and read the statistical information.

From the perspective of population structure, Swamp Town and Mountain Forest Town have something in common - the population over 50 years old accounts for less than 5%, and the population under 30 years old accounts for nearly 60%.

It can be seen that the population of Swamp Town is still very healthy and full of vitality.

I believe that as long as there is sufficient food security and childbirth is encouraged, the population here should be able to grow.

In addition, from the perspective of the identity and occupation of the people, there are not many serfs in Swamp Town. Most of them are free tenants, and the rest are free people.

But no matter what your status is, you will be dependent on the lord if you live here. There are farmers, herders, hunters, etc. in this group of people, and they are diverse.

As the population increases, there are naturally more people who know how to do carpentry and masonry work.

"Wilson, there are a few things you need to do."

Wilson sat upright, "Sir, please tell me, I will do my best!"

"First of all, you need to assign these carpenters to the iron and wood workshop to speed up the production of iron and wood weapons and armor. The order for Wushanbao will expire in three months, and I don't want to delay the construction period."

"Secondly, these masons and bricklayers should also be used. Shanlin Town, Huitu Village and Heitu Village will be the key areas for future development. There will be more and more people there, and it is necessary to build more new residences."

"Finally, there are those who can play with mud. Transfer some of them to Jim. The ceramic workshop is the focus of future development. In addition, the blacksmiths must also be integrated. There are many arable lands in Wubei Territory waiting for us to cultivate. The production of curved plows and farm tools must be accelerated."

With more people, only when they work together can they exert greater power.

Wilson wrote down all these things one by one. Thinking of asking these people to leave their hometown where they had lived for many years, he was a little troubled: "Sir, what if these people are not willing to go to Shanlin Town or other villages?"

Roning raised his eyebrows, "I not only pay them wages, but also arrange their food and accommodation. Why are they unwilling? Tell them that as long as they work for me wholeheartedly, I will reward them with land."

A serf can get ten acres of land as long as he works hard for Roning for ten years. This is an incentive policy that was set before, and it is still applicable here.

Moreover, in Swamp Town, there is a lack of arable land here, and the importance of land to the people can be imagined.

Now the lord has provided them with a way to obtain land, which is a great thing for them.

Wilson nodded quickly, "They will definitely be grateful for your kindness, sir."

Kindness, in fact, is not really a thing, it just gives these people a goal to move forward.

After all, even if the land is divided in the end, the property rights still belong to Roning. The only difference is that the farmers can cultivate freely on this land and pay less grain.

"Spring plowing is coming soon."

Roning looked at Wilson and his five assistants and began to arrange the spring plowing plan.

First of all, all the 60,000 acres of land in Swamp Town must be cultivated this time. Before sowing, it is necessary to ensure that peat is mined to supplement the fertilizer of the fields.

Fertilizing tens of thousands of acres of land is a huge project. At that time, I am afraid that in addition to the grazing and breeding personnel, other laborers will be involved.

However, for Roning, whether Wubei Territory can be self-sufficient in food this year depends on this spring plowing, and it is worthwhile to invest more people.

After spring plowing, it is land reclamation. Roning plans to divide Swamp Town into several villages and form land reclamation teams based on villages.

Finally, rewards will be given to villages and individuals with outstanding performance based on the results of land reclamation, so as to further enhance the enthusiasm of the people in the territory to develop the territory.

"Wilson, do you remember the last time I mentioned the matter of 'political affairs' to you?"

Wilson's breathing stagnated, and then became a little hurried.

He clearly remembered that the Lord had said that he would be appointed as the "President of Government Affairs" after the government affairs of the northern savage tribes were handled and the government officials were appointed.

But the situation is different now. Now the Lord's territory not only includes all the savage tribes, but also a swamp town.

When he thought of this, Wilson's eyes became a little eager.

Roning smiled and said, "Congratulations, Wilson. From now on, you are the president of the Wubei Territory."

Since becoming a government official, Wilson has not said how well he has done his job, but at least he has met Roning's requirements.

And as he became more and more skilled in handling government affairs, he did not slack off, but was very active.

This attitude deserves recognition.

Since his attitude is very good and his ability meets the requirements, there is no problem in promoting Wilson.

"Thank you, sir!"

Wilson was so excited that he cried with joy and knelt on one knee to express his loyalty.

From a political officer to a political director, the salary increased fivefold, which was only secondary. The main thing was that he was recognized, which indicated that he could go further in the future.

His experience immediately attracted the envy of the five assistants. Their boss and their master were promoted. When would it be their turn?

Luo Ning smiled slightly. Promoting people is naturally to motivate people.

He said to the five assistants: "After Wilson becomes the political director, Shanlin Town, Swamp Town and other villages will have vacancies for political officers. This is your opportunity."

The assistants were immediately excited. This was indeed an opportunity for them.

And when Wubeiling becomes bigger and stronger and has several small towns with populations like Swamp Town, Luo Ning will also need to appoint officials such as business, taxation, and finance.

This emerging land is full of opportunities. It depends on whether these young assistants can seize the opportunity.

Next, Luo Ning continued to convey to Wilson and others the subsequent coordinated promotion of spring plowing and land reclamation.

"Okay, that's all for today. If you have anything, you can come to me anytime."

Roning waved his hand and sent the guest away. He picked up the parchment at hand and said, "In addition, let this person named 'Pearson' come to see me tomorrow morning."

The parchment clearly read: Pearson, the leader of the Swamp Town Caravan.

Roning can indeed use the caravan of the Iron Hoof Family in the Horse Herding City to sell iron and wood weapons, and even silk and porcelain in the future.

But this does not mean that he does not need to form his own caravan.

On the contrary, if the business of Wubei Territory really takes off in the future, it is very necessary to have his own caravan.

To form a caravan, you naturally have to find someone who knows how to trade. It is too unrealistic to randomly find a farmer who can only farm to sell things. Maybe he will lose money and help others to shout.

There is no such candidate in Shanlin Town, but Pearson in Swamp Town meets Roning's requirements very well.

As long as Pearson is capable and willing to work for Ronin, it doesn't matter even if the caravan he leads has served Leisen before.

As a businessman, the pursuit of profit is the fundamental thing. (End of this chapter)
