Release that Witch - Chapter 463
[Chapter 456 The Difference]
After explaining the administrative integration plan, Roland took a few sips from his teacup and waited for everyone to digest it.
Maintaining the daily operations of an area requires a lot of manpower. Before the literacy rate is raised, it is inevitable to bring nobles into it. After all, most of them have received elementary education and are slightly involved in management.
If there are outstanding performers, he doesn’t mind letting them out to manage a city or even a territory on their behalf, similar to the mayors and governors of later generations.
After a few minutes, Roland began to explain the next question.
That is fighting crime.
In his “new order” concept, there is no place for black street organizations in the city, and everyone can find a job that is enough to support themselves without having to plunder others.
If it was a highly developed modern city, he would not be sure to do this. The saturation of tens of millions of people and low-level jobs would lead to a large number of unemployed people; People, the basic construction is still blank, as long as they are willing to work, there is no need to worry about not having work to do.
“How much do you know about mice?”
“Do you mean… black street mice?” Ren Meade coughed twice, “I have dealt with them before.”
“What kind of deal?” Roland asked with great interest ask.
“This…” Ren seemed a little embarrassed, “I used to be the leader of the Raging Fire Gang, and I fought for territory with several other rat gangs.”
“Pfft,” several people couldn’t help laughing out loud.
Roland was also surprised for a moment, the second son of an earl’s family, would actually become a mouse?
And the Fire Gang… the name is too out of style.
He began to wonder, is this person really Earl Med’s own?
“Your Highness, the thing is actually like this,” Pei Luo explained. “Several years ago, the underworld forces in the dock area were very rampant, and civilians and foreign businessmen were killed almost every day, but the patrols turned a blind eye to it. Sir Wren really Unable to see it any longer, he brought his personal guards, went to the refugee area to recruit a group of people, and drove the mice out of the dock area. At that time, he also wrote letters about the daily battle situation and sent them to the people in the capital. Me. He said in the letter that this is a great battle, no less than fighting against evil beasts, so I think…”
“Pelor, stop,” Ren unexpectedly showed a shy expression, “At that time I’m just bored, just looking for some fun to pass the time.”
It turns out that this is probably the “feat” made by a nobleman who was keen on knight games in the second year of middle school, Roland thought. For the second son of the elk, there is nothing more exciting than being followed by a group of men who respond to every call. Although it is not commanding thousands of troops, the momentum of the two groups of people fighting is not bad at all.
“Where is this gang now?”
“Uh, I don’t know,” Ren rubbed the back of his head, “I haven’t contacted that group of people since I joined the Hermes defense line to fight the real evil beasts. ”
Roland nodded, “In fact, I intend to eradicate all the rats in the fortress, so that every civilian can have a stable life.”
“Your Highness, with all due respect,” Ren hesitated, “This… I’m afraid Ca
n’t do it.”
“Why?” He frowned, “I have the first army in my hands, so are mice more difficult to deal with than noble knights?”
“Not really,” the other party 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 battle. They are vulnerable to knights, but… if you follow the method of dealing with rebels and clean them up by whether they have become rats, I am afraid that the entire fortress will not have them. There are a few civilians left.”
“You mean…”
“Rats and civilians change all the time, Your Highness,” Ren replied respectfully, “When the harvest is bad and the evil month is long, many civilians have to do what rats do in order to survive. The reason why most lords allow the existence of the Black Street is better than letting the hungry people riot and let them fight among themselves.”
Roland’s face darkened, he didn’t expect the rats to appear like this, “Then what about their organizers?”
” These people are habitual 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 breeding mice,” the prince looked around the long table with a cold face , the nobles lowered their heads one after another, “But it doesn’t matter, as long as you cooperate with my suppression operation from today, I can let the past go.” He paused, then looked at Ren, “I have a task for you ”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“In the next month, I will focus on cracking down on all crimes in the fortress, and you need to cooperate with the First Army to eliminate the leaders of the gangs in the black street and completely disintegrate all rat organizations. As for I will arrange for someone to tell you the specific method.”
“Your Highness, what about the members below? Without the food provided by the organization, it will be difficult for them to survive the month of demons.” Ren worried, “plus this year’s demons The month is ahead, and the number of these people may be more than in previous years.”
“I will let Peiluo open a warehouse to release food until the end of the evil month.”
“Your Highness, this is not possible!”
“You are raising them, only Let them intensify!”
“That’s right, I’m afraid the whole city will be beggars at that time!”
Hearing these words, the nobles spoke out one after another to stop them.
Roland knocked hard on the table, “I’ve already made up my mind, you don’t need to say any more!”
He feels that the biggest difference between himself and the nobles is that they always assume the worst of the people, thinking that the other party is lazy and ignorant, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com is both incompetent and despicable, and their nature is very greedy, and there is no cure for it.
But he is very aware of the power of the people. This group may seem stupid, but in fact they are the backbone of the world only if they are guided correctly and set an example.
If the people are as useless as the nobles think, how do they change the whole world time and time again?
In fact, spending energy on the people is the most worthwhile investment.
Even small changes can have amazing payoffs.
“Finally, it is necessary to publicize the decree as soon as possible,” Roland looked at Pei Luo, “you have experience in this point, just continue to expand it. If the people can’t understand the notice, you can ask someone to read it out. The content is ours. Everything we talked about today.”
“Everything?” The latter was taken aback, “Are you even going to tell about the plan to clean up the rats?”
“That’s right, including the news about the opening of the granary,” he looked around the crowd again, “I Here I will teach you a prerequisite for the operation of a qualified city hall, that is, to inform the people of the policy in advance, answer their questions, and listen to their feedback – so that the policy issued will not become a dead letter.”
Transforming the nobility, unifying the law The combination of law and administration, the crackdown on law and order, and the final political propaganda are Roland’s preparations for the establishment of a new order.
