Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

After the official construction of the city, Harvey only gave himself a day off and began to consider the development plan for the new year.

Since he clearly learned the memory fragments of ancient times in the activated magic core, he no longer focused all his attention on the southern continent, which was a whole divine ridge mountain range separated from him.

What kind of faith battle between churches and unions, the racial survival battle between humans and demons... are not as good as the powerful aliens far away in the legendary [Central of the Continent], and are "He" in the memory fragments of the core of magic. It is a terrifying enemy.

An unknown crisis is always more terrifying than a foreseeable opponent...

Harvey originally planned to use the strange identity and mind of the time traveler to flexibly wander in the gaps in the struggle between the caster, the church and the nobles, hide in the wasteland far away from the power vortex of the southern border, and insisted that "I will not offend people if they do not offend people." ”The moderate development route.

But after learning the truth of ancient history, his "private land" in a small wasteland that resides in a corner suddenly became the front line of invasion of unknown aliens. How could he not let him sweat and sleep at night?

With both long-term and immediate worries, he could not let go of it at all and could only start from the most important things at present. It is always much better to prepare for the future than to sharpen the gun in the face of battle.

The first thing is naturally to mediate the war conflict within the Duke of St. Valen. No matter what the real purpose of the Grand Duke of St. Valen and the Church initiating this war, as long as Harvey presses step by step in the rear, they will always be hit by both sides. , and was eventually forced to turn around to deal with the thorn that was stuck in his back.

In this way, the Federation and the Wizard Kingdom can change direction and fight for the long-term conflict with the demons... It is said that the front line of the Evil Moon Mountains has been pushed north of the mountains by the Federation. If the demons can be successfully cut off the center of the front line Supply, maybe it can stop the demons' offensive for a long time. After all, if the aliens really invade in large numbers, the demons entrenched in the west of the northern border will be a great help to resist the "they" going south. Maybe then, the situation where the two tribes formed a brief alliance during the Dragon War was reappeared.

The best result is to directly oust Grand Duke St. Valen, and then whether you take over the situation or support a puppet to deal with secular public opinion, it is a good choice. As long as the countries in the central southern border do not break out in large-scale civil wars, they will not be ordinary. If the people are involved in it, they will not consume the population potential within the ethnic group. Only when the ethnic group is facing a life-and-death crisis in the future will there be hope for resistance and counterattack.

The second thing is to accelerate the development of Spark City as soon as possible and let the future war "bridgehead" under one's own rule get on track as soon as possible.

After all, in terms of territory, perhaps all the lords of the priests of the southern territory combined, Harvey could expand and expand more. Except for the west controlled by the demons, it can be said that the entire northern territory is pure. In the unbordered land, there are only primitive tribes such as evil orcs that do not even have a state power, and it is only a matter of time to sweep away them.

What he really lacks is the population to develop and build these lands for him.

Regarding the issue of the southern border, Harvey also discussed with his subordinate officials many times, and finally decided to launch an offensive in the late summer. At that time, the autumn harvest was approaching, and the professional northern border army would naturally not be affected, but the Duchy of St. Valen. The fiefdom nobles are different. Under their rule, whether they are the fiefdom knights or the vassal noble landlords, they will be firmly bound to their fiefdom farmlands. No one is willing to give up the food that is about to be harvested and carry weapons to welcome the war. After all, they are hungry. The people who are in charge will flee because they cannot pay taxes, and they may even join forces to riot.

If Harvey's army suddenly attacks the capital Jinhui City, it will probably catch the church and the grand duke off guard. At that time, they can also see that the "modernization" war brought by the hot weapons blessed by magic is not theirs and United. It can be compared to small fights at the border.

Nowadays, magical military factories, alchemy machinery factories and shipyards are rotating all the time. Three shifts of workers are busy producing a large amount of war reserve materials. Logistics factories such as pharmaceutical factories and canned food factories are also working hard to operate, and countless storage-resistant The logistics resources for transportation are continuously sent to the huge storage areas that stretch out.

The military recruitment and recruitment results were better than Harvey had expected. The Northern Army, with rich combat experience, expanded the staffing scale of nearly 5,000 people in ten battalions and was in full swing to train and practice, and the defense army was entering the summer. In the past, the new recruits and veterans would be dispersed and reorganized, and then sent to Fengyuan City and Grizzly Leaders to guard the various places.

Therefore, the focus of the work in the near future still needs to be on the development of Spark City. After going around, it is the population absorption problem that Harvey has been troubled from beginning to end...

He summoned the Chief Executive Reiner to his lord's office.

"The stocks that will be issued for exchange for land handed over by the nobles... have you counted all those industries?"

Reiner took out the work manual that he always kept away from, "Sir, the statistics have been completed long ago. Except for military industry and basic agriculture... mines, forest farms, shipping companies, railway companies, and all civilian manufacturing factories are here. The list is on."

Harvey took it and flipped through it quickly, saying with satisfaction: "Yes, the civilian manufacturing industry will allocate 10% of the shares according to the scale of output and income, and split it into tens of thousands of single shares for the nobles who paid the land to subscribe... But shipping and railway companies can only take out half of the shares, and they are issued as original shares that cannot be traded or mortgaged at will. If they want to withdraw their shares and cash them out in the future, they can only sell the shares back to me intact."

Monetizing the manufacturing industry is a radical means that transcends the times. If Harvey did not have the money in his pocket to buy the land in the hands of the nobles, he would not dare to open this loophole easily - once the shares can be traded, the nobles who have seized the opportunity to invest will move as soon as they hear the news and grab more benefits before ordinary people, then Harvey's idea of ​​narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor and alleviating class contradictions will be in vain.

"The stock issuance cycle is only one month. I will not wait for those hesitant speculators who intend to raise the price of the land."

Reiner hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "In fact... the administrative office and the military, as well as some colleagues who joined the territory a long time ago and worked in management positions in factories and other production departments, are also discussing privately and complaining that they are not nobles. They are excluded from buying dividend stocks..."

Harvey nodded in understanding. He had actually expected this situation a long time ago. This group of officials and soldiers who were originally civilians and achieved wealth and class leaps purely through their own efforts are strictly speaking a special group of emerging aristocrats - they have real power, high salaries and benefits, and have lived in the territory the longest. Naturally, they have accumulated much more wealth than ordinary people.

Although the salary and benefits are generous, it is a gradual and slow growth process after all. All the industries in the territory belong to the lord himself, and most people have no business acumen. In addition to using money to improve the quality of life, this group of emerging "nobles" do not have many additional channels to quickly accumulate wealth for themselves.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

"Nobles who have not obtained the official resident status of Spark City are not allowed to buy real estate in the city..." Even Earl Fagan, who manages Grizzly Castle for Harvey, wanted to buy a villa in Spark City, but he did not get what he wanted after inquiring about the relationship for a long time.

This policy will continue to be implemented unswervingly in the future. When Spark City grows and becomes more prosperous, these locals who have always followed Harvey will understand how valuable the real estate in their hands is.

Being a landlord is much more comfortable than being a shareholder. Playing stocks can easily lead to bankruptcy.
