Farmers, grooms, loggers, miners, charcoalers, rangers, carpenters, blacksmiths, small traders...

A town’s basic industrial chain needs no personnel in Serendil, which makes Byron a headache. One second to remember 【Watch ☆^→Book\◇Guide】, wonderful novels are free to read without pop-up windows!

In the past, although the Swadia Kingdom had to attack or even occupy here every time it went south, it would withdraw after a few months and the residents who escaped would come back again.

But now the Kingdom of Swadia has the upper hand in the war, and Gruen Ward is also taken by them. The Earl of Dilynard is directed at Veluga, and the residents of Serendil can’t come back. Caused the emptiness of the entire town.

After the war, the population of this town would not be able to return, but Byron really didn't want the town to be so empty.

Fortunately, many refugees were displaced because of the war, and the war also caused part of the residents of Serendil to completely lose their original families and businesses. This part of their spare can just be shed to the newcomers.

Byron sent Jamila and a team of soldiers to promote his new policy, saying that all refugees who are willing to settle in Serendil can be given a car acre of land without ownership and part of the wood and stones used to build houses. They even leased cattle and farming tools to them. Although the refugees most want to go back to their hometown, for those who are homeless, these benefits are enough to allow them to settle in Serendil.

In addition, because Byron has a large amount of dinar cash, he has enough capital to repair the damaged buildings in the town, buy cattle and other necessary materials for the village, such as enough food, fodder, and Metal utensils.

Of course, Byron hopes to attract some skilled talents to come here. The infrastructure in Serendil is fairly sound, and there is even a dedicated commercial street and a post for coachmen to rest. The blacksmith shop also has existing buildings, but it lacks a blacksmith. Some people have a place in the church, but some necessary materials need to be repurchased.

When Jamila left, she was stuffed by Byron with a list of things that needed to be added. Byron gave her 5000 dinars and asked her to buy them.

Kenrad also received a new order. Byron asked him to take a team of one hundred people to clean up the bandits and rebellion around Serendil.

Gruen Ward Castle has been taken by Swadia, even if the war ceases, King Haraus will never give up the occupied land. Byron has already regarded himself as the lord of Serendil, so he must ensure the safety of his territory, ensure the smooth flow of trade, so that he can get the most tariffs and taxes.

The fief granted to him by King Haraus is the main town of Serendil and the surrounding two small villages with dozens of families. The population of those two villages has not decreased. The elders of the villages also came to the town at the request of Byron. I saw the new lord inside and explained the situation within my jurisdiction. Byron also sent four soldiers to each village to patrol and maintain law and order without the protection of militias.

One of the two villages is flat and suitable for farming, and there is also a large-scale mill. The previous lord allowed them to use grain to deduct taxes, and they received dozens of bags of ground flour every year. The other village has a slightly smaller population than the previous one, and there are not many fields, but close to the forest, there is a logging site and a charcoal kiln in the forest, and there are several hunting areas in the forest that are also within the scope of this village. Because the prey belongs to the lord’s property, the benefits this place can bring to Byron are not small.

Byron, a village suitable for grain production, was given to Fatis, and the woodland village was given to Alain. The two of them can get part of the tax revenue from the village and belong to them, and the public security is also managed by them. They also have to fulfill their own obligations. When Byron needed them, they had to take the soldiers from the village to follow Byron in battle, and they couldn't refuse.

Byron got off the horse and lived in the stone tower. After Earl Prays left a lot of work for Byron, there is no suitable person to help, so Byron can only handle these trivial matters by himself. Although the two military clerks hired by Byron were literate, they were able to handle the copywriting work, and none of the others could be in charge.

After two days of busying, Byron finally figured out the status of his territory, and set three short-term goals for himself based on the feedback of the elders of the two villages and his soldiers.

The first is the issue of public security, which the two elders repeated several times when they met Byron. Robbers made up of refugees, bandits who took advantage of the war to rob homes, and a group of Swadia deserters. These lawless men and guerrillas roamed the villages between Serendil and Fort Greinward. Frequently, robbed houses everywhere, kidnapped and extorted. When Swadia's army passed through here, the weapons and equipment of the local militia were confiscated, but they ignored the issue of public order, which led to the rampage of these bastards, and the villagers lacked the means to resist.

Both the cavalry under Kenrad and the mercenaries sent by Byron are good players. With the approximate location given by the villagers, Byron estimates that solving this point is the time gap.

The second is about the fields. The population loss, the land is barren, and the lack of labor has continued for a while. This year's harvest has been reduced by half.

But this is very embarrassing, because no one wants to do vain work for others, and they can't get their own benefits by helping others grow the land. The farmers in the village will not do it. And Byron’s soldiers don’t have to think about it. If they let them go to farm, they probably will turn their faces directly with Byron~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Being a mercenary is to make some quick money without farming, Mr. Byron Can't let people go back to farm again.

This is difficult to solve until Jamila finds refugees who are willing to come here, because many fields have owners. If Byron promises to go out to others, waiting for the owner of the field to come back, it will be troublesome, because neither party They will let go. They will still have to find Byron in a lawsuit, which is terribly troublesome.

The third point is about Byron's troops. Byron had promised them too well before, but not much achieved. These soldiers prefer to go to a certain city or a real town to be cool and to waste the idle dinars in their hands, rather than nest in an empty town eating bread and meat jerky and counting their fingers to pass the time.

Moreover, the form of the war is hard to say, the Rhodok forces of Agollomborg may raid the town at any time. Byron also had to arrange soldiers to garrison various outposts and repair the walls and gates. And to do these tasks requires manpower, this also can not be too troublesome for the Peony Mercenary who has been working hard for a while.

There are a lot of things and they are very annoying, but they are all done.

In response, Byron could only sigh, drink some wine, and then sit in front of the table and discuss where to start with the heroes.
