Chapter 197 Population Increase and Public Security Issues
The performance of the Maloney Mansfield family and the Barnet family means that the nobles of Iron Tree Fort are no longer persistent and want to get a share of the vast land of the Northern Plains.
Except for Marquis Dudley Morgan, the lord of Iron Tree Fort, other families will gradually reduce their investment in this area.
Nowadays, the villages in the east of the plain have basically been captured by orcs, and those who have not been destroyed have been in great trouble. Perhaps they will evacuate from this area one after another.
Either retreat to Snowfield Fort first to survive this winter; or go directly to Iron Tree Fort.
As for these villages on the west side of the northern plains, their lives are not easy.
Although there was no threat from orcs, Winter Town brought great pressure to them, and the crop harvest was not as expected, which also made the villagers extremely worried about the coming long winter.
Those who are struggling and have a contract can only stay in the village and wait, hoping that the family behind the village will provide some support.
Those relatively free have begun to escape from their original village.
At the beginning, this kind of escape was taken by various villages, using the identity of refugees and robbers to plunder supplies. Destroying the Town of Winter was indeed one of the ways these nobles thought of.
But what they didn't expect was that the plan was a bit unstoppable when it was implemented.
I don’t know when it started, but various rumors about Winter Town began to appear in these villages.
Many people have seen the pink flying dragons before, so they spread quickly.
Therefore, when someone saw that there was not only one flying dragon in Winter Town, but also a black flying dragon that kept roaring, everyone immediately believed it.
The powerful guardian of Winter Town has become something that many people know on the northern plains. If it is just this kind of rumor, at most various forces will be more afraid of Winter Town and there is no need to worry about the rapid loss of villagers.
What really made these village chiefs feel a headache was the many other news about Winter Town that appeared along with the rumors of Feilong.
Winter Town is a powerful and fertile town that is enough to accommodate all the current farmers on the northern plains.
Winter Town has sufficiently vast and rich land, and a large area of land has not been developed yet, waiting for farmers to go and reclaim.
Winter Town has prepared many houses in advance and can ensure that in winter, people living there do not have to worry about being frozen to death.
Winter Town provides various "preferential treatment" for civilians who go to seek refuge, including but not limited to: providing farm tools at low prices without interest, providing crop seeds, selling them at low prices or renting houses, etc.
If these rumors were circulated half a year ago, they would have no lethality at all. At that time, everyone had great doubts about the situation in Winter Town, and Winter Town did not have these "things" at that time.
Now, Winter Town has completed this stage of development and construction. The next step is to continuously absorb population, fill in the towns that are still a little empty at this time, improve the internal layout, and fill all the planned areas.
Also, the addition of population can allow Winter Town to truly develop all walks of life, which are currently only in the prototype, and can also stimulate some people to open up new industries and markets: for example, the construction of docks and shipyards will make some people fishermen, making Winter Town a new market: aquatic products!
As these rumors spread more and more widely, some people began to explore the direction of Winter Town curiously. Of course, the soldiers of Winter Town would not stop these people, and would even lead the way for them "kindly".
These people don’t know that when they were led into Winter Town, their appearance had been photographed and uploaded to the server just built by Sheldon, Leonard and others to facilitate subsequent production of personal information; or as a use for screening spies...
No matter what their identities are, when they see the "luxury" and "beautiful" of Winter Town, and even see the farmland covered with crops, these people are very excited.
Whether you feel that you don’t have to spend all your time with this winter, or you feel that you have finally seen the change.
Real hope for coming.
In short, these people are all attracted by the beauty and prosperity of Winter Town.
At this time, they also unexpectedly got a "task".
If they can convince and attract more people to settle in Winter Town, then Winter Town will provide housing at a lower price, and you can enjoy huge discounts whether you buy directly or rent it.
At the same time, after the beginning of next spring, Winter Town will provide it with free farm tools and crop seeds, so that it can start a new life without having to bear "debt".
Many people who come to Winter Town to check the situation choose to accept the task.
Some of these people plan to share discounts with their good friends and survive this winter together; some want to "share" houses with others based on the discounts brought by the discounts.
Of course, it is not ruled out that those with a little bit of wealth buy a house directly and sublet some of the rooms to others...
David knew about these people's behavior, but he ignored the behavior of these people. As long as they could help Winter Town attract more people, he didn't care about these things.
Winter Town has not yet grown to the point where it needs to regulate these things.
David just reminded Weatherby Swan that whether these houses are sublease or shared, they must sign a contract with clear and clear terms. The official of Winter Town as a notary to avoid possible subsequent disputes.
"I know what to do."
Weatherby Swan has been studying the legal provisions of the Kingdom of Tyran for a while. Fortunately, the laws of this world are not complicated, and there are no separate legal provisions in Winter Town for the time being. Basically, they are governed by the laws of the Kingdom of Tyran.
This greatly reduced his work difficulty, but from David's words, Weatherby Swan was able to confirm that in the future, more detailed legal provisions should be implemented here.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"The population has increased rapidly recently. I think if the growth rate continues, the security of the city may deteriorate." Weatherby Swan can now see that the population figure in Winter Town is changing every day. This feeling is not only happy, but also causes some trouble.
For example, not everyone who comes to Winter Town will be honest!
In the past, the composition of Winter Town was relatively simple, with several farmers from Iron Tree Fort, either David's contract farmers or Samantha's contract farmers.
The people from the Stonemaster Union came immediately. This group of people came from an organization. In addition, the group of people who came to Winter Town wanted to live a peaceful and stable life, so it was more convenient to manage.
At that time, in Winter Town, there was no need to arrange even those responsible for public security. Everyone would honestly follow the orders issued by David, the lord, to do things, and rest when the work was over. At most, chat with familiar friends, chat with them, and look forward to the future.
Nowadays, the number of people is increasing one after another. These people have the spirit of fighting and venturing, which also means that these people have relatively stronger personalities. When there are more people like this, it is normal for conflicts or something to occur.
"So, it is necessary to set up a sheriff who is responsible for managing the internal affairs of Winter Town, and to formulate appropriate punishment clauses."
This is the main purpose of Weatherby Swan finding David today. Things like appointing officials, setting up new institutions, and building new buildings must be decided by David, the lord of Winter Town. Weatherby Swan, as a government official, currently only has the right to suggest, but no decision.
"Shepherd..."
David took a sip of warm tea, and the aroma of the tea made his somewhat chaotic thoughts calmer, and he shifted his attention from the messy things to the current problem.
"Who do you think is suitable for this position?"
"This... sir, I'm afraid I can't think of anyone suitable." Weatherby Swan has been in the officialdom for decades, so he would not make any suggestions on such issues. I believe that Baron Glamorgan in front of him does not want to really propose a name.
In fact, David was not that complicated. He really couldn't think of any suitable person for a while.
Peggy, Sharon
Both can hold this position, but it takes a question whether these two people are willing to accept this position.
As Steve Rogers gets closer to the Supreme Mage, he seems to be able to go to Peggy at any time to help her escape from alien space and return to her own world.
At that time, Peggy would go back and forth in two different worlds like the others. Even if she wanted to be a sheriff, she probably wouldn't have enough time.
Sharon's situation is similar. This second-generation Captain America, who is known as the eldest daughter by many people, just had doubts about his abilities in his heart and was worried that he would not inherit the title of Captain America well, so he "stayed" here and didn't go back.
Now that as her strength gradually increases, after meeting many strange people, her own experience and experience have improved. The little doubt in her heart may have dispersed almost the same.
David felt that he had rarely seen Sharon recently. It is very likely that Sharon has been able to return to his original world freely, but he just didn't tell everyone.
Taking these two people as an example, the other people who often run in both worlds are not suitable, so they can only choose among the people who live in Winter Town.
Will Elizabeth? Thinking of this, David suddenly understood why Weatherby didn't make any suggestions! The old fox also realized this problem. The right person was either his daughter or his son-in-law, so of course he had to avoid suspicion.
After thinking about it, the most suitable one seems to be Alsie? But Alsie is sometimes summoned by Optimus Prime and leaves Winter Town to help the Autobots deal with the Decepticons.
After thinking about it, apart from this small question, Alcey is indeed the most suitable candidate.
"Or, hire one from the world you can go to now?"
