Chapter 344 Solution to the shortage of people
Most of the renovation projects undertaken by the construction group of the outpost have been completed. The entire city of Selia is completely new compared to the original, with clean streets, castles and residential areas. The design was extremely reasonable, and Queen Irina was extremely satisfied with the work of the outpost. In her mind, the renovated Selia City now showed more or less the unique style of the royal capital of the Coman Empire.
At this time, Queen Irina was standing at the gate of the palace, listening to the people around her reporting to her the latest news from the Coman Empire.
"The reconstruction work of Bawa City has begun. According to the report of the new city lord, they will need at least 300,000 gold coins."
"Too expensive. I remember the location of Bawa City. It’s not that big, but so many gold coins are needed for reconstruction? Tell the newly appointed Lord of Bawa City that the empire will allocate up to 50,000 to him, and let him figure out the rest.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Have all the rebels over there been dealt with?"
"A very small part of them escaped. General Noel has been assigned to chase and eliminate them. It is estimated that less than half will be killed." It can be handled in a few months."
Irina snorted when she heard this, and said to the intelligence officer beside her: "Some of our people have witnessed the outpost launching an attack on Bawa City. "Is it an attack scene?"
The intelligence officer nodded directly and said affirmatively: "Yes, it's a pity that we don't have that kind of on-site video footage... based on part of the intelligence from the subsequent investigation. Look, after the Tianwei appeared, they were only given a very short time to surrender. Once the time was up, they immediately launched a devastating attack and wiped the entire Bawa City from the surface.”
"Bawa City was completely wiped out?"
Queen Irina raised her eyebrows. She originally thought that Bawa City was just bombed out of the city, but she didn't expect that the situation was far more serious than she knew. many.
"It was completely turned into a ruined building. Our people went to Bawa City to collect intelligence a week later, and there were only ruins left there, which are actually similar to the original Foothill City."
The intelligence officer reported truthfully, but Irina didn't show any emotion after listening to it.
She had seen the situation in Foothill City before. Hundreds of thousands of orc troops had become barbecued meat in a matter of seconds. The smell of barbecued meat in the air had not dissipated for more than ten days...
There are not that many people in Bawa City. Duke Rono's remnant forces have always been considered a bandit force. They basically eat people and horses wherever they go, burning, killing and looting all the way. The ordinary people of the Coman Empire can hardly survive. After coming down, the attack on the outpost did not cause many casualties to ordinary people.
After the rebels were dealt with, the Coman Empire did not spare any effort to rebuild Bawa City for several months. It was precisely because there were not enough manpower around Bawa City that they migrated from the hinterland of the Coman Empire. There were not many people willing to go to the bitter cold land in the northwest, so the matter could only be delayed.
Irina said to the intelligence officer beside her, "Let them establish contact with the nearby mines. If there are personnel from the outpost, try to contact them as much as possible, and you can bring Bawa City to The reconstruction work is entrusted to the people at the outpost."
The intelligence officer also showed a hint of embarrassment: "I have contacted the outpost before, and they mean that there is no need to stay on the original site of Bawa City. Rebuilding the city"
"Why?"
"There are too few people."
The intelligence officer said bravely: "The empire's control over Stuttgart is not very high. The population has experienced the changes of Duke Rono and Aymon. After the raging of the empire, it was directly cut in half. The southern cities with a larger population were even wiped out. A large number of young and middle-aged workers in the empire never returned after going to the battlefield. The population of the northwest city was small, and the rebels were wreaking havoc. It is not false to say that the population is declining."
"What is the current situation of the reconstruction of Bawa City?"
Irina stared at the intelligence officer and her voice became stern.
“The Imperial Council stated that the construction of Bawa City was necessary. After all, it was an important city in the northwest frontier of the empire. So they assigned a group of people to go to the old site to collect the funds needed for reconstruction. It was also calculated by this group of people. "These damn old guys!"
The Queen interrupted the intelligence officer's words directly, "I think they are living too comfortably and no longer know the current situation of the empire! Are they going to rebuild Bawa City? Are they going to Just making money for the sake of reconstruction!”
The sudden harsh words made the intelligence officer dare not speak out anymore. Queen Irina walked around twice, seeming to be thinking about what to do about this matter. deal with.
More than ten seconds later, he continued to hear Irina's voice slowly ringing out: "Since Bawa City no longer exists, then don't waste money on it anymore... Statistics from the outpost Find me a copy of the data. I want to find out how many people are left in the empire. After the war, I always feel that the population has not recovered much. The huge Stuttgart continent has a scarce population. It’s really hard to tell. It will make people laugh!”
The intelligence officer immediately nodded in response, and Queen Irina waved her hand towards him tiredly, indicating that he should go find information for herself first.
"It turns out that managing an empire is not as simple as imagined."
It is now half a year after Irina ascended to the position of queen, and the huge continent of Stuttgar has been completely controlled by science with the help of the outpost. In the Man Empire, Ammon was destroyed. There was no longer any opposition or opponent in the empire. She was ranked first in the empire!
But as time passed, Irina still felt deeply powerless.
She was annoyed by a lot of messy things in the empire. The wrangling and attacking each other among various people in the palace often made her angry uncontrollably. The taxation and collection work between major cities often It's not going well. Either there is a drought somewhere in the north today or there is a flood in the southern part of the empire tomorrow... Irina hasn't slept peacefully for a long time.
Now an imminent problem appears in front of Irina - the empire is short of people!
Although the outpost has been added to the daily life of the Stuttgar continent, it has directly and efficiently improved the quality of life of the entire Coman Empire, allowing most of them to have enough to eat and wear warm clothes, but these have not significantly improved. The population of the Coman Empire.
Due to successive wars and foreign invasions, the number of ordinary people in the Coman Empire has been cut in half. Now the main situation in the Coman Empire is that there are more boys and girls. Several cities near the northern capital The ratio of men to women has even reached an astonishing 1-25!
"Go and call me the person in charge of statistics in the empire!"
"There are also those in charge of fertility and marriage management..."
Queen Yili After reading the statistical data, Na seemed very irritable. She was giving orders to the intelligence officer below. At this time, the figure of Magister Naya appeared at the palace gate in the distance. She took two steps forward and headed towards Irina knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty."
"Are you back?"
Irina looked at Naya and breathed a sigh of relief, "Did things go smoothly?"
"Thanks to His Majesty, it went smoothly. ."
Naya stood up and approached Queen Irina, "I have heard about your troubles, and I have a good idea to deal with these problems."
< br>"Oh? Tell me."
"In the more than two months since I went to their world, I have learned about some of the methods they commonly use."
Naya, who had not been seen for a long time, showed a smile: "We can definitely use it. Their way to quickly solve the population problem here."
Irina raised her head and looked at the sexy and charming magister in front of her, frowning slightly.
“That is to hold a blind date between the Coman Empire and the outpost, and the follow-up is to fully liberalize the marriage restrictions between the empire and the outpost!”
