Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

Chapter 540 【0534】 Fosbarrow’s population strategy

Kalya's plan is going very smoothly, and the situation in Mithril City is moving in a better direction.

However, Lux, who should have been very happy, has been a little unhappy in recent days - not because of any changes or accidents, but because of the chaos, Galen, who was supposed to be in charge of the overall reconstruction of Mithril City, , started to work as a hands-off shopkeeper, and came to his sister whenever he encountered any problems.

As the saying goes, "No matter how big or small it is, it all depends on my sister."

Under this circumstance, Lux experienced the feeling of "being Kalya" for the first time. After Galen clearly realized that he had no political talent, he did not hesitate at all and was directly reincarnated as a sounding board. What did he not understand? , those who didn’t understand, those who didn’t know what to do, were all thrown to Lux, and they even called it hard work for those who can do it.

As a result, Lux, who had originally planned to return to Forsbarrow, was forced to spend more than half a month in Mithril City.

If this is the case, then Lux can't say anything - just think of it as deepening her influence in Mithril City, brushing her face when presiding over the work, and it will be smoother for Forsbarrow's products to enter Mithril City in the future. , and I had just arrived in Forsbarrow, and Mithril City had indeed given me a lot of support, so I just had to do more work.

But the problem is that when Lux was forced to take on Galen's work, Kalya went on strike.

According to Karya, he did not give advice "in order to avoid Lux ​​being too omnipotent and arousing suspicion, and also to use Mithril City as an examination venue to comprehensively examine Lux's ability to preside over the overall situation." However, Lux was very sure. , this guy just feels happy watching himself busy!

Every time Galen asked for help in the tone of "Almighty sister, give me an idea", Kalya did not hide her pleasure at all, and sometimes she would tease Lux in a similar tone - after all, in the past Many times, this is how Lux asked him for help.

To be fair, this is not a dark history. Asking your teacher for help when you are inexperienced is obviously a very correct and reasonable thing to do, but every time Kalya repeats what she said like a gramophone, Lux can't help but High blood pressure.

"Your attitude is unacceptable." After once again teasing Lux's previous request for help, seeing steam coming out of Lux's head, Kalya finally said in a very serious tone, "It's a good thing to know your shame, but you can't be ashamed of your heart. Surplus, this is not a shameful thing. Young people have nothing to do and need help from teachers to make decisions without being embarrassed——"

"If it's not embarrassing, just shut up!" Lux gritted her teeth and said, "I'm so busy right now, and you still imitate me from time to time. My dear teacher Kalya, if you are very free, maybe Sivana Maybe I need more guidance from you?"

"I'm not idle at all." Kalya denied it seriously, "I said, I am teaching you to overcome unnecessary shame. Fairness and justice are a person's inner persistence, and sometimes, shamelessness The skill is also a necessary means to deal with things."

"I understand, I understand!" Lux was quite helpless. "In order to achieve the ideal goal, we must adopt realistic means. I know this very well, but lying without hesitation and remaining calm when someone is digging up old scores is clearly unacceptable. Two different things, right?"

"Actually, they're all the same." Kalya said in a tone of experience, "These are all things that must be practiced... Where did I say it before, oh, it's the villain, right?"

"Teacher, I was wrong, I was really wrong..."

"No, you didn't. I am indeed a villain."

……………………

When Lux returned to Forsbarrow, the winter in the north was almost over.

Although she worked hard and had to endure the ridicule of the devil's voice, the harvest of Lux's trip to Mithral City was completely worth it.

In addition to rescuing her stupid brother and preventing large-scale land annexation in Mithril City, Laxana and Forsbyro entered the sight of the people of Mithril City for the first time, and there were five branch nobles. With the support, Forsbarrow's products also have a frontier sales position in Mithral City. Following the Freljord trade, Lux's northern integration strategy has once again achieved substantial results.

In addition, due to the severe flooding in Miyin City, almost all the dykes were destroyed. In order to resume production as soon as possible, several low-lying villages that were already seriously flooded were abandoned and turned into flood discharge areas.

Farmers in these places have lost their land, no means of livelihood, and are not even qualified to mortgage their land for grain loans.

And because the most prosperous port area in Mithril City, which provides the most jobs, has also suffered serious floods, these completely bankrupt people have little chance even if they want to work!

Under this situation, Lux waved her hand and happily accepted these homeless victims.

No land, right?

Come to Forsbarrow with me. Our land is vast and sparsely populated. If you come to Forsbarrow, you can mine, collect herbs, or hunt, no problem!

What, you don’t know any of these?

It doesn’t matter, farming will always happen, right?

We at Fosbello are in short supply of experienced farmers!

Moreover, Fosbarrow is now a tax-free city, and the whole city will be tax-free for the next four years - and you are the victims of the disaster. As the lord of Forsbarrow, if you follow me to Forsbarrow this time, you will be given an additional year. It’s a tax holiday, don’t miss it if you pass by!

No one wants to leave their home if they can survive.

But after suffering successive military disasters and floods, these unlucky ones among the unlucky ones were indeed no longer able to survive.

In addition, in this battle to defend Mithril City, Lux herself was indeed outstanding. Whether it was the decisive blow that completely sealed the victory on the battlefield, or her subsequent stand-up to uphold justice during the turmoil, she was recognized by the people of Mithril City. There was a wave of reputation in front of him.

Rather than staying in Mithral City and starving, it would be better to visit Forsbarrow.

In the past, Forsbarrow was definitely not comparable to Mithril City, but now that my home is flooded, is there any choice left?

In this way, with the help of the Second Legion and Northern Walkers, Lux moved a total of nearly 4,000 families from the surrounding areas of Mithral City to Forsbarrow.

Most of these four thousand families have no prime-age labor force, or only one prime-age labor force. They are the kind of people who can't support themselves even if they stay in Miylin City as tenants. When they are desperate, they can only choose to follow Laxana. Your Excellency, try your luck in a new place.

After all, Lux was responsible for the expenses on the road. For them, even if they couldn't find a living in Forsbarrow, they could still live a few extra days if they had food and drink along the way.

Migrating people in winter is not a simple matter.

Fortunately, Forsbarrow's private army, which has now been renamed the Northern Walkers, is quite experienced in this kind of work. In addition, Sona temporarily suspended classes and transferred a group of law-enforcers over, and these more than 10,000 people eventually When they arrived at the temporary camp of the former Dharma Protectors, the total number of casualties was less than 10%.

For a migration in winter, this number is already quite low, and if Lux does not host this migration, I am afraid that by the time spring comes, half of these people will survive because of the blessing of the Wing Sisters.

The old, young, sick and disabled who have lost their land and whose hometowns have been flooded have no way to survive even in Demacia.

After experiencing many blows, the attitude of these people was quite submissive, even submissive to the point of being a bit despicable. In the almost abandoned temporary camp, they carried out all Lux's instructions very strictly, for fear that the Earl would give up on themselves and let themselves Go and fend for yourself in the cold wind of the North.

It was naturally impossible for Lux to give up on these people.

Although they are immigrants, and they are all old, weak, sick and disabled, this does not delay these people from becoming the foundation of Lux's rule in Forsbarrow.

The Forsbarrow people are willing to accept Lux's guidance, but most of the time this guidance needs to be profitable; but the Dharma Regulators and these Mithril City remnants can face some policies that are not very beneficial to them. , still choose to implement it resolutely, this is the biggest significance of Lux absorbing them besides replenishing the population.

Of course, having said that, the main purpose of attracting these people to Fosbello is to replenish the population.

There are just too few people in Forsbarrow.

In the past, the sparse population could feed themselves through primitive production methods such as hunting and gathering. However, after Lux came to Forsbarrow, with the development of technology, the population will inevitably become the biggest constraint on Forsbarrow's continued development in the future. .

So since arriving in Forsbarrow, Lux has been trying to increase the population of Forsbarrow.

Demacians have a strong desire to have children, so in addition to tax exemptions, Forsbarrow has also permanently abolished the population tax and provided child subsidies - any child who has been registered with the official household registration can be purchased at a discount share of grain.

In addition, if you can immigrate from other places, Lux will not spare any effort.

If the Walrus Tusk is coming, then I will build a new port for you and send out ice and water spellcasters to assist you in fishing.

The expansion of the blue ocher industry has squeezed downstream industries, so why don't you come to Forsbarrow? We are tax-free here, and if you want to build a factory, the infrastructure can be negotiated!

Now that Mithril City is in disaster, it is even more obligatory for Forsbarrow to step forward - Mithril City is the lord's natal family, so how can Forsbarrow see his natal family suffer?

Although there are still no baby boomers, and immigration is only a small matter, Lux has already made preliminary plans to build a new city and a new port. In the three years of living in Zaun, she has fully realized the scale, Standardization brings production efficiency.

To put it bluntly, in Lux’s eyes, large-scale, standardized, and magical production is the direction of development of advanced productivity!

……………………

After hearing the news that there was another group of immigrants, the residents of Forsbarrow were generally welcoming.

If elsewhere, outsiders and locals often have conflicts due to competition for resources, but in Forsbarrow, there are almost no such conflicts - whether it is the Dharma Master, the Walrus Tusk, or even the village of Vero Some of the acquired factory employees are not on the same track as the original residents of Forsbarrow.

Conflict between natives and guests?

Forsbarrow doesn't have that kind of thing.

Immigrants don’t know how to hunt, collect herbs, or mine. They all do the same kind of work, and there is no competitive factor. Why is there any contradiction in this?

On the contrary, the royal guards brought more trade goods and dairy products, and a large amount of sea fish brought by walrus tusks. In the eyes of the locals of Forsbarrow, the appearance of these outsiders even enriched their own lives—— At least it enriches the dining table!

In this case, the people of Forsbarrow naturally don't mind showing a little free mercy and sympathy to these Mithril City immigrants who have suffered the disaster. When talking about this topic in the streets, their words are full of compassion.

Lux knows this very well, so it is obviously impossible for her to let these more than 10,000 immigrants, mainly the old, weak, sick and disabled, to involve in Forsbarrow's inherent territory. Enriching the population is important, but what is more important is this process. We must ensure internal harmony and not create too many hills, which will cause trouble.

Therefore, Lux plans to make separate arrangements for these immigrants in Mithral City.

For the children, Lux plans to send them all to school for study. After the successful completion of adult education this year, Fosbairo will also take up the education of minors. Although the conditions are limited, it cannot be done before. Like Zaun, there are five full years of compulsory education plus three years of apprenticeship training, but if Forsbarrow's children receive a unified basic education in the four years from eight to twelve years old, Lacus should grit her teeth and still Can afford it.

Basic education will not only improve the quality of Forsbarrow's population, but will also greatly strengthen internal unity and ideological unity, putting children from Walrus Tusk, Mithril City, and locals in Forsbarrow to the next level. Educating together, even if they still have the imprint of their background, their shared learning experience will give them a stronger sense of identity as a Forsbarrow people.

Moreover, in the process of basic education, Lux can also screen out people with special talents and give them the best way to advance - those with magic talents can become apprentices with the Dharma Master. From the first time As soon as they show their magic power, they will receive the most formal magic training; those with good physical condition will go to the Northern Walkers to do reserve service and develop into soldiers; and in addition to these two, in mathematics, logic, language and For those who are talented in other areas, there is ample room for advancement at Forsbarrow.

The elderly need to help the emperor to do some service industries within their ability, such as washing and cooking, so as to free the emperor from daily labor that can be done by ordinary people as much as possible.

As for the small number of prime-age laborers, they will be sent to Weiluo Village and subsequently participate in the blue ocher processing industry. After taking back the washing and crushing, Weiluo Village can now consider trying it on its own. The next step is grinding.

After detailed processing, the immigrants in Mithril City will soon integrate into Forsbarrow and slowly become Forsbarrow people.

And this kind of thing will happen now and will continue to happen for a considerable period of time in the future. Forsbarrow will maintain its current attitude and accept anyone who is willing to abide by the order of Forsbarrow, regardless of whether they are from Frey. Erdjord, or Demacia.

Population of Kalja's Little Classroom Fosbarrow:

Through the efforts of four industry associations and clerks, Lux carried out the first household registration in Forsbarrow. According to the registration results, the total registered population in the entire Forsbarrow area is only 160,000—— Considering that Lux does not charge a population tax, even if some people are not registered, the total population of the entire Forsbarrow area is less than 200,000.

This is a rather pitiful number. You must know that the area of ​​​​Forsbarrow is even larger than that of Mithril City, and Mithril City is only one city with a total population of 150,000...
