When the snow and ice on the streets of the city of dawn melted, when the howling cold wind turned into a mild warm wind, when the cuckoo birds began to cry on the sprouts of broad-leaved sycamore trees.
The cold and lonely winter months passed.
The warm sowing season has arrived.
At the beginning of March, the people who had been wrapped in thick cotton clothes had already taken off most of their clothes and packed lightly.
In the winter, the city of Dawn, which was stagnated by the cold, is also rejuvenated.
The stalled mage tower began to recruit workers,
The blacksmith moved out piles of farm tools and distributed them to civilians,
The new clothes in the tailor shop have also changed from thick cotton-padded clothes to thin coats.
The whole city was reinfused with life.
A new year begins.
Reed stood by the window of the office on the third floor of the City Hall, watching the crowd coming and going on the street through the open window, with a deep smile in his eyes.
The winter months passed in a blink of an eye.
Many changes have taken place this winter, and the city of Dawn has completely changed its appearance compared to last year.
Now the land under his feet is a city with a population of nearly 10,000, and the number of blood races in it has exceeded 400.
The majestic Dawn Master Tower is under construction, the busy figure in the farmland outside the city is the farmer who is cultivating, and the energetic security team members are walking through the street wearing new uniforms.
Everyone's face is filled with hope and reverence.
The vitality of this city is amazing.
"Harrison, report on the current state of the city of Dawn"
After a long time, wearing a blue mage robe, Reed with elegant and perfect temperament retracted his gaze towards the street.
He turned to face Harrison, who was wearing a dark gray robe and looking feminine.
Harrison was prepared for a long time, and after a slight salute, he began to report on the work progress throughout the winter.
He has developed a working habit and will do a work summary at the beginning of each month.
Today is March 3rd.
"Patriarch, the Winter Moon did not stop us from developing.
The first is urban construction.
We have repaired many dilapidated houses, and the population that can be accommodated in the Southern District has increased by about 3,000.
Now the total number of houses can provide approximately 25,000 people to live, and the number of people in the city of Dawn has been further increased.
However, in order to meet the plundering of the population in the winter of this year, it is estimated that houses that can satisfy the population of 3,000 to 5,000 will be built.
Construction of the Mage Tower in the City of Dawn was restarted yesterday. With the assistance of 100 kinsmen, the overall construction of the Mage Tower is expected to be completed by May. "
Reed nodded, and did not interrupt Harrison's speech.
After the beginning of spring, all the focus will be shifted to the construction of the city of dawn, and population plundering activities will be suspended.
According to the usual practice in previous years, the orcs will withdraw from the territory of Norland Empire and return to the barren wasteland after the Winter Moon, and humans will take over the land again.
To plunder the population now is undoubtedly going head-to-head with the human army. Orcs will not smash with the blood, but humans will not mind hunting down the blood that is full of alchemy materials.
Since the focus is to shift to urban construction, the Mage Tower in the City of Breaking Dawn will undoubtedly be a key construction project in the next two months, and he has dispatched hundreds of blood races to participate in the construction.
"The second point is the development of market economy
Because of the increase in the population, many people have the idea of opening shops and chambers of commerce. The city hall deliberately set aside a whole street near the square for human trade.
In the future, this area will be the commercial center of the City of Dawn. Now there are 6 tailor shops, 5 bakeries, 1 flower shop, 1 grain shop under the jurisdiction of the city hall, and 1 shop selling groceries in this area.
Because of the lack of materials, many residents who are interested in doing business cannot find a suitable intervention point, so this newly built market is not prosperous, but I believe that after the land can be cultivated, there will be a wave of explosions. "
Commercial development Reed did not deliberately manipulate it. Now the shortage of materials is a big problem. If you want to develop business, you must solve this problem before you can talk about the next step.
Reed nodded for Harrison to continue.
"Third, the blood family itself.
After the hero selection contest, the number of blood races has reached 400, but the strength of the new 200 blood races is still relatively weak, all of which are between level 1 and 3.
It is expected that after the completion of the Mage Tower, there will be a wave of improvement in strength, but in a short period of time, only simple tasks can be done in the city of Dawn, which cannot come in handy. "
After the expansion of the kinship, the new kinship is undoubtedly low in strength and it takes time to grow. Reed is so anxious to build the mage tower to improve the strength of the new kinship faster.
"Fourth, the iron ore in the Valley of the Giants.
Cyclops are now the most powerful miners, they can mine forty tons of ore every day.
Although this iron ore is a rich ore, the quality of the ore is average. These ore can produce four tons of pig iron after being refined in a blast furnace newly built by the blacksmith in the City of Dawn. "
Reed nodded slightly, the ore quality could not be resolved, but the production efficiency made him very satisfied.
It is undoubtedly a very inefficient thing to mine ore by pure humans. If humans are used to mine, perhaps hundreds of people cannot dig 40 tons of ore a day.
The Cyclops undoubtedly helped him solve this big problem.
This group of beings with the blood of ancient giants possesses extremely terrifying power, and it seems to be born for mining except for fighting.
Cyclops only need to work hard to mine every day to get enough food and even save surplus food. They also feel very happy.
"Fifth, the operation of the City Hall.
The Ministry of Agriculture has been established. In the past two months, it has begun to guide the residents to select and breed...
The number of members of the security team has reached 200. They are trained according to the required military training tasks every day. At present, the normal security issues are all handled by the security team...
Logistics team...
Propaganda Department..."
In Harrison's one-day report, a series of issues concerning people's livelihood, agriculture, economy, politics, military and so on in the city of Dawn made a detailed summary.
He presented the development of the City of Dawn in the past six months in an intuitive way.
Thriving.
However, the last issue discussed made Reed frowned.
He is going bankrupt...
"Patriarch, we have been carrying out high-intensity urban construction and various welfare expenditures, and now there are only less than 2,000 Kempke left on the book of the city hall."
"The various departments of the City Hall need to spend a fixed monthly payment of 1,000 Kempke, and the money on the books is only enough for us to operate for two months.
In other words, we are out of money"
This data made the corners of Reed slightly twitched. The development of the City of Dawn was completely supported by his vault with the blood family, and his secret room full of Kim Puke had already been emptied.
2000 Kempke is not too small for an individual, but for a fast-growing city, it is too small to bear to look directly at it.
A company with more than 10,000 employees and large-scale construction every month has only 20 million working capital on its books.
This development is undoubtedly walking a tightrope.
The early development of the city of Dawn can be said to be based on the accumulation of wealth of the blood race.
Buy food, buy magic materials, buy various farm tools, cotton, cloth, and even pay the salaries of the security team, the late team, and other temporary workers.
The wealth of the kinship was transferred to the residents through the purchase of labor.
But now the city of Dawn has no other means to obtain wealth from the residents.
So the current situation is that in addition to daily expenses, the wealth accumulated by residents will gradually increase, but in the end there is very little wealth that can flow back to the city hall.
If the city hall wants to have income, it can only collect taxes. Food is sold at a discount, and the cost of harvesting is negligible.
But now the market is sluggish ~ EbookFREE.me ~ lack of materials, no commercial activities at all, and newly established chambers of commerce and shops can enjoy the preferential policy of tax exemption for one year, which causes the city hall to have only expenditure and no income.
The use of the blood family's background development can undoubtedly make the city prosperous the fastest, but this kind of prosperity will also stagnate after the wealth is exhausted.
If there is no more financial support to get taxes in the City of Breaking Dawn, I am afraid that we will really face the dilemma of not being able to pay internal wages and having no money to buy materials outside.
Reed gave a meaningful smile after thinking a little bit.
"It's okay, I'll take care of Gimpco. You just need to keep the development of the city of Dawn on it, and a large number of Gimpco will be accounted for soon."
The winter months have passed, and spring is here.
Should the adventurers of Grimm venture out of the city? Those mercenaries who lick their blood should also be hired?
His magic scroll factory has been hoarded for a winter...it's also time to ship.
