Mage with knife

"Dick, most of the herdsmen, including some of the Paramo and Hongjira tribes, are running north. When you were there, the wool textile industry was focused on developing and produced a lot of fur clothing. So,

A large number of herdsmen fled and migrated north, at least they were able to withstand the cold.

However, as you go further north, farming is basically impossible, and it is difficult to survive just by fishing and hunting.”

And what about this? Dick doesn't have any information about the direction of the prairie, so he really doesn't know.

"Meet an Eski?"

"The Eskis have a limited number of wolf cavalry, and they have never fought against the Gorel. The current Eskis have long since fallen apart."

Oh, that's true. Most of the tribes of the Eskis are scattered. The large tribe that gathers together only has a size of tens of thousands. It is normal that it cannot defeat the Goli people.

"Dick, it turns out that the Eski area is in chaos. The original White Mountain and Blackwater tribes in the east were originally conquered and occupied by the Star and Moon God Cult. Many Blackwater people in the east fled there. It turns out,

Further north is the territory of the Snow people, and they dare not touch it.

Later, you developed crops such as green onions, celery, and potatoes. Almost all the Snow people in the outer jungles were moved to the coastal city. Therefore, there are almost no Snow people left in the southern jungle of Trust City."

This is true. Now the city of Persia is unable to recruit people even if it wants to.

"Zhang Huan, what do you mean, the grassland people have migrated to the Snow people's jungle?"

"It's not that good. It's freezing and snowy. There's nothing to eat. We can only fish and hunt, and occasionally we have some sunflowers and melons to eat. It's easy to freeze to death and starve to death."

It turns out that Anthony, the county magistrate of the Paramo tribe, Andre, the executive deputy magistrate, and Augusto and Alvin, the deputy magistrates, also fled here. A few days ago, Anthony went to Trust City privately to find me.

Ask if they can migrate here too."

The establishment of the county government was determined by Dick. Unexpectedly, after so many years, these county party committee cadres are still alive.

"Dick, I know, this is embarrassing for you. You have a good relationship with the top of the Snow people, so you can ask if it's possible. What if it's okay?" Zhang Huan can only hope for the worst. The Snow people are

Very exclusive, he had experienced it in Arctic.

The only thing he could count on was Dick's huge prestige in Trust City and his good relationship with the upper echelons of Holy Island.

"How many people are there?" Dick asked.

"About hundreds of thousands of people."

"so much?"

"Originally there were more, but due to the cold weather and lack of food, many people died." Zhang Huan said a little sadly.

"Okay, I'll go to the snowy mountains of Trust City to ask the saint what he wants first." This kind of thing is a big deal, and Dick can't make the decision.

Fatty was really fast. When he reached the top of the snow mountain, he met a saint and explained his purpose.

Hundreds of thousands of grassland people, the saint was very numb when they heard it. To put it bluntly, the saint didn't understand government affairs. This guy asked about the cause and effect, and a transmission note flew out, and he had to ask his superiors for instructions.

Three days later, the messenger from the Holy Island came, a saint. He asked Dick again in detail about the actual situation.

"Dick, how do you think we should arrange it?" the saint asked.

"It can be accepted. Whether it is grassland people, Eski people, or Blackwater people, if they are settled, as long as they cultivate, they will create profits and increase tax revenue. The most important thing is to increase popularity. The most important thing for a city is popularity.

The population of Persia City is too small, only 200,000, which is about the same as Bay City."

Dick did not hide anything and expressed his opinion: "Senior, when I first developed Trust City, I defined it as an international metropolis. Later, there were no restrictions on outside cultivators.

In the development of a city, internal and external circulation is very important. The more open it is, the higher the degree of development.

Of course, if you are worried about outsiders taking the lead, it doesn't matter. Holy Island originally defined Trust City as a special zone. Only outsiders will be accepted within the jurisdiction of Trust City. In this way, the scope is limited and it will not affect

The overall situation along the Arctic Sea coast.

As for me, I do not exclude outsiders or church organizations. You know, once people believe in religion, they mutate. Therefore, in the jurisdiction of Trust City, I am absolutely not allowed to preach. Just be an honest person.

Is it done?

Senior, I have another worry. Once these hundreds of thousands of grassland people lose their way of survival, they will easily be seduced and incorporated by the Dark Knife organization. In that case, the power of the Dark Knife organization will be even stronger, which will also be detrimental to us."

Dick said so much, roughly expounding all his views, and made no secret of his dislike of the religion.

"That's okay. Trust City and Persia City in your jurisdiction can become special zones. In other words, you can try it first and see if it works... To be honest, Dick, we don't understand. You have too many tricks, so we can only tell the truth.

Prove whether your development policy is feasible or not," the saint said.

"Senior, don't worry. I will increase the management of the foreign population and try to prevent the infiltration of other forces. Of course, it is difficult to completely eliminate it. Senior, you also know that at the time, almost all the Persian cities were Snow people, and they were not all invaded by others.

Did the Dark Knife infiltrate and cause large-scale riots?"

Dick said this, and the saint nodded. The methods of the Dark Knife organization are so weird, and it has not yet been found out how they controlled so many Snow people to rebel.

"Dick, do you suspect that it is controlled by mental power?" Dick's secret guards and internal guards are also known to Holy Island.

"Eighty percent yes. I have investigated and found that among the people controlled by the Dark Knife organization last time, there were no intermediate magicians. So, I increased the number of intermediate magicians in the inner guards and secret guards. Of course, high-level warriors are the best.

, I don’t have that many.

Senior, this is all I can do now. Once the Dark Knife organization's control ability cannot handle even intermediate magic, it will be really troublesome."

No matter what you say, Dick is trying to find a way to deal with it. Isn't this always a good thing?

In the past, the Holy Island said that Trust City was a special zone, which was just a way of saying it. This time, the Saint brought a formal magical document, officially recognizing Trust City and the Persian city under its jurisdiction as a special zone, and implementing some special policies.

With this clear policy, it would be much easier for Dick to handle it.

Dick sent away the saint and recruited Zhang Huan and Anthony. Anthony was also Dick's old subordinate, and it was very cordial to meet again.

"Thank you, Chief." Dick agreed to accept the prairie people, and Anthony was overjoyed. The prairie people hiding in the ice and snow had no way out, and they were afraid they would really perish.

"Don't be too busy thanking me. The grassland people have migrated to the Persian city. You must first take care of yourselves and don't cause trouble within yourself. This area is not quiet, and it is often infiltrated by the secret knife organization. Trust City was established

Inner guards and secret guards are there to prevent this kind of thing.

I estimate that there are also intermediate magicians among the people you migrated to, so organize your own internal guards and secret guards, do you understand?"

Do the grassland people have intermediate magicians? At the beginning, Dick also established a cultivator academy in the Páramo tribe, so it is impossible that there are none. What’s more, the Páramo tribe also had a lot of wizards.
