Lord of Riding and Slashing

"What's going on at the Fort Isaac Fair?"

Nord looked at the report in his hand, and then frowned and asked Scholars Hill, although the market has become more prosperous now, Nord does not know how many shops can survive, and Nord does not know how many common people How long can the enthusiasm last, if the market in Fort Isaac is gradually saturated, it may bankrupt a group of people.

Although pigs can take off while standing on the air vent, some pigs may fall down once the air vent passes. Nord has to consider this issue. Although these civilians are overheated, as their lord Nord must treat it calmly. The problem must be far-sighted.

Scholar Hill also understood what Nord meant when he heard this question, and his face was also very serious. Obviously, he also discovered this problem. After all, as an administrator who has been leading the development of Fort Isaac, he is more concerned about these things Nord needs to be clearer.

"Now all the shops have been sold, but it can't satisfy the enthusiasm of the common people. Many handicraftsmen hope to have a shop in the market, although they can also do business in their own homes. , but the efficiency is not very high, and it is simply incomparable with the shops in the market."

Scholar Hill's gaze was deep and calm. He was not dazzled by his achievements, but was extremely cautious, because judging from his previous use of wealth circulation, Scholar Hill should know some financial knowledge from his previous life. The scholars of the era are very different, and he must be able to see the hidden dangers of this phenomenon.

"During this period of time, all the shops benefited greatly. Some civilians have suggested that I expand the size of the bazaar. They also want to enter the bazaar to get a share, but I refused, because the current situation of the bazaar is not normal. Yes, especially after the town was built during this period, many villagers no longer have much income, and their purchasing power has dropped a lot. I think there may be a crisis in the shops in the market after a while."

Scholar Hill, like Nord, can't blindly expand the size of the market. Although the life and death of these shops is the choice of the market, Nord can't watch them choose from the fire pit. This is an irresponsible behavior. , Nord is responsible for every civilian in his territory.

"Is there any way for civilians to maintain their purchasing power? For example, help them find a stable job."

After saying this sentence, Nord laughed, because it is very difficult to do so, not to mention this era, it is very difficult to have a stable job in the previous life, there are so many workshops like Tammy Town. Job offers are rare and Fort Isaac is hard to replicate.

Because each workshop needs a professional master to take care of it, but the crux of the problem is that these people are all scarce talents given to Nord by the system. There is only one person in each workshop. It is impossible to take care of two workshops now. situation, unless these apprentices have reached the standard for apprenticeship and are able to complete the work independently.

Nord estimates that it will take at least half a year to wait until this happens. Besides, there are many handicraftsmen in Fort Isaac. Although the quality of the goods they make is not as good as that produced in Tammy Town, they are better than the price. Cheap, there is still a market.

Nord also thought about recruiting people from these handicraftsmen to train in the workshop before, but they did not want to continue to become apprentices in the workshop because they already had certain skills. There is nothing to learn, and so many people didn't want to go, so Nord was very angry at that time, and half a bottle of water was hanging there.

"It's hard. Half of the civilians in Fort Isaac and the villagers in the three villages don't have any skills. They can do things other than farming and hunting. They are the skills they learned when they built the town some time ago. , and unless they can keep building, they will lose their jobs."

Hill scholars are also worrying about this problem. These villagers have experienced lucrative jobs. It is impossible for them to live in poverty like before, but there is no other place to build Fort Isaac. , and a more critical problem is that Fort Isaac's funds are no longer enough.

After all the shops have been sold, Fort Isaac's income is only tax, but it is impossible to rely on this month's tax to fill the construction pit of the territory. It's very hot, but taxation is only a small part. It is simply impossible to support the next construction task of Fort Isaac.

"Can the construction of Bligh Village start?"

Nord suddenly thought of the upgrade of Bligh Village to a small town. Nord was very optimistic about this village, because this village is an outpost of Fort Isaac, and it will be upgraded to a small town later. Nord is also planning to build some fortifications in the village of Bligh, and also station a troop here for guard work.

"Not yet. The financial problems of Fort Isaac can no longer be sustained. I was just about to mention this to you. At least 20 gold coins are needed to build Bligh Village."

Scholar Hill shook his head. There is really no way out of lack of money. A penny can't beat a hero. Scholar Hill can't make money out of thin air, so he had to ask Nord for help. A clever woman can't cook without rice. Scholars have already used their means once, but this time there is really no other way.

"I'll ask Steward Abel to help you allocate funds immediately. The construction of Bligh Village can already be started, especially the fortifications are the most important thing. At least four watchtowers must be built on the road leading to the outside world. "

"No problem, the preparations have actually been done, but I didn't start it due to lack of funds. I will start the construction task tomorrow. The village chief Joel of Bligh Village has been waiting for a long time. I believe he will be very happy when he hears the news. happy."

Scholar Hill showed a smile on his face, which finally helped him solve a difficult problem. Scholar Hill did not ask Abel for money directly, but applied to Nord. He is very clear about this process and will not make mistakes at all. Such a mistake.

"It's been hard work for you during this period. If you need help, you can directly mention it now. I will try my best to help you coordinate, although I can't do much."

"In addition to the funds, there are too few people. Many things are simply too busy now. Fortunately, Reed and his students can help me with some government affairs, otherwise I will be too busy."

There was a wry smile on the corner of Scholar Hill's mouth. He was very clear about the situation under Nord, and there were not many things that could help him. Fortunately, Fort Isaac has survived the most difficult period, and it will be much easier in the future. Everything is difficult at the beginning. .

It’s just a problem of lack of talents. It’s just an old problem that hasn’t been solved. Most of the time, it’s just make do with it. Just like Scholars at Hill, he also has no experience in managing territories before. Debu can only appoint him, because there is really no one else, and Nord doesn't know when he can solve this problem.
