From Wild Mage to Wizard King

Roland silently calculated the gaps in the various projects of the War Committee, and the gaps became larger and larger.

Of course, these gaps are not a big problem. Except for the integration of the coalition army, other projects can be done slowly.

After all, the committee still has the ability to generate its own blood. At least, the core ruling area of ​​the committee can provide a large amount of taxes and resources every year.

However, if it relies only on self-generation to accumulate the wealth and resources of the project, it may take several years to accumulate. It will take more than ten or twenty years to complete the project.

This is too slow.

Roland lowered his head and silently flipped through his memories, trying to find some treasures in Donnar or some useful information from the memories of his previous life.

After flipping through it, Roland really found some useful information in his memory.

Although the former Knight Kingdom of Donnar was destroyed, and most of their treasuries were destroyed and wasted by the Green Tide, according to the content in memory, some of the Knight Kingdom's treasuries were still preserved.

In addition, there are some treasure houses left by the Donnar royal family.

I can find time to go and see them later.

In addition, Roland also found the dwarf treasures in the Dragon Spine Mountains, but this information is not very useful. The situation in the Dragon Spine Mountains is too complicated. Even if you know the approximate location, you don't know whether it is on the surface or underground.

However, Roland did not give up, but first extracted the relevant information from his memory. If the wealth and resources dug out from the treasury are not enough, you can go to the Dragon Spine Mountains to have a look.

At worst, use the prophecy spell to cheat directly. As long as Roland wants to find it, these things can still be hidden from Roland?

While Roland was thinking about these questions, Hela also read all three sets of plans submitted by the administrative department.

Hela put the plan back on the table and turned to look at Roland.

When Hela looked at Roland, Roland also left his thinking state and met Hela's eyes.

After meeting her eyes, Hela's eyes also slid down slightly, avoiding Roland's sight, and then she spoke.

"Roland should have his own ideas about these three plans."

"Hmm? Which one do you think I will choose?"

Roland smiled slightly and said casually.

Hela pursed her lips, picked up the third plan on the desk and said.

"This one, although it costs a little more, if it were you, you would probably choose this one."

"Hmm."

Roland did not deny it, skipped his answer, and continued to ask.

"If it were Hela, which one would Hela choose?"

"My words"

Hela looked at the other two plans on the desk and said.

"I would choose all three plans."

"Hmm? Tell me more."

Roland was a little surprised.

"The third plan is the main one, and the remaining two plans are supplementary."

"Although the first two plans have some shortcomings, as long as they are not applied on a large scale, and the selection and supervision work is done well, basically there will be no major problems. In this way, more productivity in the occupied area can be retained and the consumption of the main plan can be reduced."

"Moreover, if the first two plans are applied on a small scale, it doesn't matter even if local forces are fostered. They can be easily suppressed."

Hela looked at the plan in her hand and explained.

Roland nodded slightly and said.

"That makes some sense, but, Hela, you didn't calculate the consumption in the preparation stage of the plan. Moreover, the use of three plans at the same time is still too complicated for the current administrative system of the committee. It is not so easy to implement and it is easy to have loopholes."

Hearing Roland's words, Hela thought about it, nodded, and said.

"I didn't think it through. Has Roland made a decision?"

"Well, the third plan, although the cost is a bit higher, there is still a way to fill the resource gap."

Roland nodded and gave his answer.

Hela smiled slightly, not surprised, picked up the bottle and filled Roland's cup with the liquid of wisdom again, and said as she poured.

"Roland is so gentle."

"Hey, don't beautify me too much, only you think so. If I were really gentle, I shouldn't start a war again and annex the United Army."

Roland shook his head and said helplessly.

Hela smiled, put down the bottle in her hand, walked behind Roland, and said in a gentle tone.

"Everyone has a high opinion of you. You should be more confident in yourself."

"Besides, didn't Roland teach me before?"

"Wearing white gloves, you can't save Donnar. If you want to defeat the green tide, some dark means are also necessary. In this chaotic world, you have protected countless lives. You have done well enough."

Listening to Hela's comfort, Roland also sighed slightly and said without joy or sadness.

"I know that the people are innocent when the United Army is dispatched, but I can only choose to be confused in this chaotic world."

It's still incompetent.

Roland closed his eyes. Although it took the War Council only three months to annex the United Army, many people in the United Army died during these three months of turmoil.

Under the war launched by the War Committee, the already bad environment of the United Army quickly became worse. Under the impact of the war, a large number of people died tragically on the streets.

Moreover, the United Army's food was highly dependent on the War Committee. After the war, even if the War Committee did not block the import of food, the war still cut off the trade route. Even if the spies inside the United Army prepared food in advance, there were still people who starved to death.

For this, Roland had already made mental preparations. Just like when he talked to Eleanor before, he was ready to kill thousands of lives with knives and swords.

As for other casualties caused by swords, famine, plague, and wild beasts, Roland could only choose to be confused. He could not care and could not save everyone. He could only make some preparations as much as possible, and the rest could only be ignored.

Roland shook his head and put all these things behind him. The past was over. All he could do now was to allow these people who suffered under the rule of the United Army to live a stable and peaceful life under the rule of the committee.

He opened his eyes and looked at the desk.

In addition to the three plans for dealing with the occupied areas, there are still some issues that Roland needs to deal with in the occupied areas of the United Army.

Disabled veterans from Sinar who have experienced the Rose War.

These are nominally volunteers to come to Donnar to fight the Green Tide, but in fact they are just a group of poor people who were expelled and abandoned by the Silver Empire.

Under the rule of the United Army, this group of outsiders are the lowest and cheapest cannon fodder, like consumables, they are filled into the battle line and die at the speed of light.

And after they die in battle, their families will not get any protection. Without any support, their remaining families will be captured as cannon fodder, sold as slaves, and pulled to the front line as entertainment tools.

Even some veterans have not died in battle, their families have suffered this treatment, they will be squeezed out of all their value by the United Army, and finally the whole family will disappear quietly in Donnar.

As helpless outsiders, these veterans and their families are different from the Donnar people. The Donnar people can at least keep each other warm, but they are deliberately divided and have no power to resist the big hand of the United Army.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the situation of the Donnar people will be much better. Under the rule of the United Army, their ending is no different from that of the veterans. It's just that there are more of them. If they are lucky, they will not be targeted so easily.

The tragic experience of the veterans and their families is just a microcosm of the countless tragedies in Donnar.

For these outsiders, the administrative department also gave their solutions.

Compared with the complex and numerous solutions for integrating and coreizing the occupied areas, the solution for the Rose veterans is relatively simple, with only two.

First: treat them normally, just treat them as ordinary Donnar people, without preferential treatment or discrimination, and integrate them into the committee normally.

Second: centralized treatment. Considering that all the Rose veterans have serious psychological problems, the Rose veterans and their families will be centralized, and psychic spellcasters will be sent to deal with the veterans' psychological problems. An elite team will be stationed to ensure that if there is a problem, it can be suppressed and controlled immediately.

Looking at these two slightly thin treatment plans, Roland knew at a glance that the administrative department was not very concerned about the Rose veterans. After all, the Rose veterans were a thankless task for the committee.

Moreover, among the Rose veterans, in addition to the veterans who were pulled to be cannon fodder, many veterans became bandits, burning, killing and looting everywhere in the occupied areas.

This is normal. You can't expect a soldier of a feudal empire to have a high moral bottom line. Moreover, being expelled from the Silver Empire and used as cannon fodder by the United Army, their lives are not guaranteed, and there is no place to accept them. It is not surprising that they become bandits.

Roland sighed and chose the second treatment plan, centralized treatment.

Although the rose veterans who were expelled to Donnar were quite pitiful, Roland could not sacrifice the lives and safety of the Donnar people. It was better to leave these rose veterans outside and settle them in a centralized place. In this way, it would be more convenient to send mind casters to solve psychological problems.

Of course, the committee would not accept all rose veterans. Some who had been bandits needed to be examined before they could be accepted. If they were forced to choose for their livelihood and only robbed food without killing people, they could be reluctantly accepted, but if they really burned, killed, and looted, they would be directly executed.

In addition to the rose veterans, another important issue was the other Sinar people stranded in the occupied area, mercenaries, adventurers, diplomats, military nobles, speculators, and other messy outsiders.

These people were not like the rose veterans who were not wanted by anyone. Most of them had a legitimate identity, and most of them had various interest connections with the Sinar countries, and also occupied part of the rights and interests of the coalition army.

It was okay for mercenaries and adventure groups who were hired by the coalition army. After all, the war committee and the coalition army were at war. All the mercenaries and adventure groups were captured. According to the regulations, they could just pay for their lives. As for their fixed assets in the coalition army, they could be confiscated.

The remaining Sinar people were not easy to deal with.

Although Roland was determined not to recognize that the coalition army had signed any unequal treaties, Roland would definitely make these guys who plundered a lot of wealth in Donnar spit out their wealth.

The military force of the committee is fully capable of killing them all and plundering their wealth again.

But this is not a military issue, but a political issue.

Given the current situation of the War Committee, it is not a good choice to directly antagonize the Silver Empire. Roland also plans to get gold coins from the Silver Empire through commercial trade.

Therefore, for these Sinaar people with official identities, they naturally cannot be so rough, and they still need to be treated differently.

The administrative department has prepared a detailed list of these Sinaar people. People who are related to the Silver Family have been screened out. As the ruling class of the Silver Empire, the committee will naturally not offend them. Therefore, this part of the people can get a relatively better end. All fixed industries will be forcibly redeemed by the committee, and they will be allowed to leave Donnar with their wealth.

In addition to Roland not wanting to offend the Silver Family, the main reason is that the six major silver families have no interest in Donnar's fixed assets. There are not many fixed assets at all. As for wealth? The six major silver families have all moved to Sinaar a long time ago, and the rest are only a few melons and two dates. There will be no impact if they are released.

The main vassal states that occupied a large amount of assets in the occupied areas were still the vassal states within the Silver Empire.

As for these vassal states, the committee was not so polite. According to the distance between these vassal states and Donnar, as well as their strength and asset ratio, they carried out differentiated harvesting.

In the list drawn up by the administrative department, except for the six major silver families, even the most powerful vassal states could not take away all the wealth. They had to be skinned by the committee before they could leave.

After reading it once and finding no major problems, Roland agreed to the list.

After the list was confirmed, there was only one policy that Roland needed to decide, the issue of border opening.

Although the core area of ​​the committee could implement a closed-door policy due to its geographical advantages and isolate all outside prying eyes, it would be a bit troublesome to implement a closed-door policy after annexing the Allied Forces and expanding its territory.

During Eleanor's reign, the border policy of the Allied Forces can be simply summarized in two words: none.

Yes, the United Army does not have any border policy. Anyone can enter and exit freely. Except for being more active in collecting taxes, they don't care about anything else.

This is also the reason why Roland and Hela were able to sneak into Donnar at will.

However, although this policy provided convenience to Roland back then, the committee will definitely not inherit the border policy of the United Army.

The border policy without any review allowed a large number of speculators and dangerous elements to sneak into Donnar, and the chaos of the United Army was also due to them to a certain extent.

Therefore, the War Committee, which is committed to rebuilding order and protecting the border and the people, must change this situation.

The Administration Department also provided two plans based on the current situation in Donnar.

The first is to continue to maintain the border policy of the War Committee, expel all foreign populations, implement a strict closed-door policy, and prohibit almost all foreign populations from entering the country.

The second is to revise the border policy, establish a border review mechanism, review foreign populations, expel all foreign populations that have not passed the review, allow foreign populations that have passed the review to enter the country, and implement a strict foreign population control system.

Needless to say, the first plan is definitely not feasible. The policy of closing the country to the outside world is only a stopgap measure and is not suitable for the current situation of the War Committee. There are too many Sinar people in the War Committee, and it is impossible to expel them all at once.

Moreover, the War Committee will not be isolated from the world, and it cannot be isolated from the world. It will definitely integrate into this world in the future, so it still has to be a little more open.

Therefore, Roland did not hesitate much and chose the second plan.

It's almost a million words, and it feels like I haven't written much.

The lake on the Donnar map is indeed a little small, so I'll modify it and expand it later.
