Transmigration of the bastard lord

In the small meeting room on the second floor of the city hall, regular meetings are being held.

Hubbard, the old director of the Hubbard Iron and Steel Company, rubbed his hands, and looked nervously at the two adults sitting side by side; the restless dwarf cast doubtful glances at the fellow next to him from time to time. Is it different?

Fu You just glanced at the proposal handed in by the dwarf, and his face became gloomy. The Earl, on the contrary, looked through the document with great interest, which was handed in after a lot of calculations and investigations.

Brother Guang didn't mean to show his face, he himself came from a multi-ethnic country, and it doesn't make sense for him to engage in racial discrimination when he is full in this world; the nervous dwarf is not his object of displeasure, this guy is obviously It's pointless to get angry at someone who is encouraged by others to be the leader.

Squeezing the space between his brows, Fu Youguang tried his best to keep his tone impersonal: "Hebard, is this proposal the dwarves' wish?"

Hubbard said cautiously: "Well... yes, Master Guang. The dwarves have excellent brewing techniques, and we hope that this little talent can be brought into play..."

Hubbard tried his best to explain, but Fu Youguang's expression didn't ease; the other people present were also silent, like two rows of clay sculptures.

"Wine making is not a necessity for the people's livelihood, and the tax rate is as high as [-]%. The development of the wine making industry can indeed bring good taxes to Hydes—" Seeger opened his mouth coolly, causing everyone to look at him in amazement; He seldom participates in such regular meetings, and most of the time he attends is as a background board, so he actually speaks now?

"...But, Hubbard, maybe you've forgotten, but I'm sorry that the person who suggested you this proposal didn't remind you - the castle issued a restriction on winemaking two years ago, and the ban didn't come until three years later Release time. Now only fruit wine is allowed to be brewed by Hydesy, and all other wines are imported from other places.” Sig raised the document and threw it back in front of Hubbard, and said expressionlessly, “The grain as a strategic material, except To meet the needs of people's livelihood, a large storage warehouse must be established as a strategic material storage. It is impossible for the castle to agree to open wine brewing licenses when the grain production value is not excessive, Hubbard."

Hubbard and his fellow clan were shocked, and they were speechless for a long time, unable to utter a word.

"You won't forget what happened this year, right? Snowstorms, floods, delays in spring plowing and planting, and autumn harvests will inevitably decrease...In this situation, how much hatred does the person who suggested you propose this proposal have against you dwarves? ?” Sig gently raised his hand, "kindly" pointing out the key points he wanted the dwarves to notice.

"..." Hubbard's thick bark-like old face flushed red, and the beard near his mouth was blown by his rough air, "Please forgive my ignorance, my lord, my lord."

Fu Youguang pulled Rasig's hand, and came forward to appease the dwarf who was almost ashamed of shame: "I'm glad that you can take Hyderside's taxes at heart and care about the economic growth of the castle. But this kind of thing always takes a long time. Slow down, Hubbard. When the food we produce supplies the whole of Hydesside and is rich, the license for wine brewing will inevitably be opened to the people, after all, the tax rate for wine is indeed objective.” But don’t even think about it now, the food aspect The castle will not back down even a single step, so those who have such thoughts should stop as soon as possible.

Hubbard, who came in high spirits, sat down sullenly, and next to him, Carlos, the goblin who had been waiting for a long time, stood up.

Carlos is a staff member of the social department of the city hall, and concurrently serves as the director of the goblin-human union and the glass factory of the public unit under the castle.Carlos, who is also responsible for business and administration, let alone goblins, many other races are envious and jealous; it is also the goblins who are used to being suppressed, otherwise I am really worried that this little guy will be oppressed and suffer from mental illness. .

Carlos mentioned the foreign sales of glassware. The Andrew Research Institute has done a lot of practical things since its establishment. Among other things, many firing masters have been trained.The glass products produced by the glass factory are pure and transparent, without air bubbles, and the cost is much lower than that of similar industries in this world - in this world where alchemy is too developed, people rely too much on alchemists, so that other knowledge systems have not emerged Opportunity.Fu Youguang didn't care about this. When he caught Andrew experimenting with the cement formula, he fired the glass out - he just knew what the glass composition was, and there were plenty of alchemist's methods to reproduce it.

Glass, which does not need to be prepared by alchemy products and can be fired only by ordinary goblins and humans, has swept the entire Hydesside at a very fast speed together with porcelain, and these industries under Andrew's name have also become major taxpayers for the castle.Unlike the dwarves who want to use the grain that they don't have enough to make wine, Carlos the goblin thinks about whether he can use glass products, porcelain, etc. to trade with other territories in exchange for grain.

Not to mention that as soon as Carlos' words came out, several dwarves present covered their faces with their hands. Fu Youguang didn't feel happy when he heard this, but instead glanced at Sig.

"...I'm afraid not." Seeger had no choice but to speak. After thinking for a while, he made a proposal that might anger Fu Youguang, "Hidesey's harvest this year may not be as good as expected, and other territories will only be worse. Two years Within the territory, perhaps no territory is willing to trade food... However, we can change the transaction method—for example, exchange glass products and porcelain for population..."

Fu Youguang didn't speak, but looked at Sig blankly.

"Of course, it must not be carried out in the form of slave trading. Believe me, before autumn comes, there will inevitably be refugees in Oddington Territory and the Kingdom of Kimmelman who are adjacent to us; The territory and the border cities of the Kimmelman Kingdom established business routes, and a small amount of trade was carried out to build relationships. When the wave of refugees begins, let those border cities turn a blind eye, and just bring these refugees to Hydes.”

Seeger didn't make his point very clear, but none of the people here are smart; this year's natural disasters, the victims are not just civilians.The nobles will try their best to tolerate those commoners before the autumn harvest, but they will never be soft when the harvest season comes - the agricultural tax this autumn and the annual tax at the end of the year. The emergence of refugees and refugees is inevitable.

Fu Youguang was silent for a while, and he could only sigh in his heart; it's good that he can take care of Hai Desai now, and he really can't stretch his hands too far: "Carlos, you and Ms. Vivian and Ms. Nina Discuss and come up with a specific plan. The Ministry of Supervision will follow up on this matter throughout the process, and we must pay attention to the intensity of implementation."

Human sex trading in disguise is not much better than slave trading, but if those refugees ignore it, even the strong and healthy people will not live for three years, not to mention the women, children, old and weak among them.

Sig pursed his lips tightly and pinched his fingers angrily—he knew that this troublesome thing would happen to him as soon as he opened his mouth, so why couldn't he control his mouth?

Carlos sat down, and Hogg, the elder of the forest elves who was not quite used to this kind of meeting, stood up.The handsome old man's face was a little red, as if he was not sure what attitude he should take to speak, he said coyly: "...I want to talk about the furniture factory..."

The old handsome Hogg is a druid in the forest elf tribe who migrated here, and he is also the flying instructor of the black dragon Sidrian.The two newly established furniture factories are run by the elves. The logging, factory sales and delivery are all taken care of by the elves. The castle provides advice and assistance as much as possible.

What Hogg said has something to do with the Dwarf's Hubbard Iron and Steel Company. Fu Youguang had previously mentioned the idea of ​​pressing useless wood foam into boards for reuse, and the elves, a race that pays attention to environmental protection, have been doing this for more than a month In selective logging, the redundant branches, bark, and leftovers from carpentry work are indeed preserved; now Hogg proposes that he hopes to have a machine that can use these leftovers...

Pressing plywood was just mentioned to Andrew casually by Fu Youguang at the beginning, and I don't know how these elves know.This kind of machine is much more troublesome to manufacture than agricultural machinery, textile machines and other gadgets that exist in this world. Fu Youguang has only heard of that gadget, but has never seen it with his own eyes.When Hogg brought up this matter, Hubbard could only state that he wanted to discuss the possibility with the Andrew Research Institute, but he didn't dare to make a promise.

Next, Lilith and Rose, who are in charge of the general office and staff department, proposed to the forest elves to invite the educated elves to be the teachers of the people's college; Not ashamed to refuse, but shyly agreed.

Fu Youguang didn't talk much to the handsome elves who participated in the meeting. He's actually a little narrow-minded... The males of the forest elves are not at all the beautiful and sissies in the legend, but they are all sunny The handsome guy; streamlined muscles, facial features that are neither too hard nor too soft, except for the pair of ears that are a bit eye-catching, all other parts are in line with Brother Guang's aesthetics.The handsome guy Fu Youguang has seen quite a few, the feminine type, the uncle type, the muscular man type, and the handsome man type, in the eyes of Guang Ge, it is pure admiration; this kind of conflicts with his original type, He is considered a public enemy...

Fu Youguang's little bit of envy and jealousy fell into Sig's eyes, and it became comfortable... When I received these elves, Brother Shi Shi stared at them, and Sig almost exploded...

In addition to discussing the events of several foreign races, the group of foreign residents left the meeting room.This is not over yet, the next thing is the internal affairs of the city hall.

After the foreigners retreated, only Selina, Shemir, Borg, Xiu, Ryan Bartlett and others rushed in.Everyone has a lot of work on their hands and has no time to attend irrelevant meetings.

Let’s talk about business first. Ryan Bartlett, who took up the position of chief superintendent of the city’s police department, was very courageous, and he asked Earl Sig Ferlandi to teach the city policemen a tutorial.

As soon as he said this, the meeting room immediately became silent; everyone including Brother Guang stared dumbfounded at the former sheriff whose brain had broken through the sky.

Baron Ryan Bartlett, the former sheriff and now the superintendent of the city's superintendent, was obviously prepared to come. Lord Earl, the attitude is as eager as a marriage proposal: "Mr. Inspector has sharp eyesight and insight, and there is nowhere to hide any conspiracy in your eyes. The city police superintendent is facing internal work, and what is needed is that you, Mr. Inspector This ability to see through all falsehoods and mercilessly catch criminals hiding among the people..."

Count Sig Flandy, who was praised, was expressionless.

"People who are not really involved in internal affairs will not know how deep the water is here. People who seem to be honest and reliable are often more cruel to their own people than generals who conquer on the battlefield. The embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed by ants. The city police chief is facing the task of destroying all enemies hidden inside. Dear Earl, wise Inspector-General, I request you to teach the city police your keen observation skills so that they can better take on the responsibility of the castle. trust."

Fu Youguang's eyelids twitched, he almost doubted that the eloquent Ryan Bartlett would pull out a rose and a ring in the next second.

Sig glanced sideways at Fu Youguang, who had a sore face, and was in an unexpectedly good mood; the Earl nodded kindly at Ryan, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "You deserve to be commended for having such determination, Baron. Let Wash the necks of those little bastards... I will instruct them carefully and carefully."

Ryan Bartlett burst into tears after his tense nerves relaxed. God knows whether he was moved or frightened...

Next, the speaker was the newly appointed chairman of the Women's Insurance Association, Borg... Captain Renn resigned from the Women's Insurance Association, and this burden can only fall on his head.Wannian Spare Tire Borg Vice Team, light the wax.

The "Marriage Law" requires a woman to be 22 years old to be considered the legal age for marriage. If someone has a super-friendship relationship with a teenager under the age of 16, as long as someone files a complaint, regardless of whether the person is voluntary or not, the other party must go to the mining area to work as a coolie for three years.Over the past few months, people's opposition to these two points has gradually increased, and it has reached a point that cannot be ignored.

There is no too rigid concept of chastity in this world, teenage marriages abound, little radish heads with even smaller radish heads, there are countless things that are not sisters but mothers and daughters.Fu Youguang is very disgusted with this, he is busy giving birth to offspring without his body fully developed, and his world view has not yet formed. Isn't this a joke?

It is Fu Youguang's personal selfishness to enforce that the legal age of marriage for women must be around 22.He hoped that more young women would go out to work instead of being bound by the family early; it would be a crime for so many young women in the labor force to do housework and take care of their children behind closed doors!

Captain Borg bit the bullet and finished speaking. Before Fu Youguang got angry, Sig had already sneered and said, "The folks? The folks are the most opposed? Borg...do you think I don't exist?"

Borg shuddered, his little face turned pale, and his eyes wandered.

Sig leaned back on the chair, clasped his hands lightly, and said slowly: "The castle's decrees have always been promoted from the inside out. If the people don't follow the regulations, at best, the children born will not receive benefits. When distributing relief according to households, the weight of one person is missing... If people in the system violate the provisions of the Marriage Law and ignore the Law on the Protection of Women, they may lose their jobs and leave the house. Now look into my eyes and tell me that you are most opposed to these two The voice of the regulations... comes from the people?"
