Chapter 868 (2/2)
Was my plan too cruel?
If I had killed half of the rebels inside the hall and the other half outside, would it have looked any better?
Though it was largely a matter of personal preference, she was still afraid that such a difference in attitude between her and the do would block her advanceovernment
When everyonefinally stopped knitting his brows He cleared his throat and said in a cheerful voice, ”Don't worry Only the insurgents would be severely punished and their rebellion has already been suppressed Now the top priority is restoring the order of the Redwater city and I need your help to do this”
”Your Majesty, please let us knohat you want us to do!”
All the nobles knelt down together
Roland nodded with satisfaction ”Please get up This is the first task I adoless for you to stay in your previous doather in the Redwater City This includes letting your freerate to the city, and not just the members of your mansions”
”But Your Majesty, where can we find enough food for those people if they all move to the city,” Earl Delta felt that he had no choice but to voice his objections ”And we don't have thatto make them work the land I'm afraid that we may cause famine and riots if we drive them into the city”
”First of all, you'll get neheat seeds called 'Golden Twos' The yield of this kind of wheat is ten tiher than that of normal wheat Secondly, what Redwater city can't accoion I'll take in all of them, no matter how many they are”
All the nobles gasped in astonishment
”Ten, Ten tiher?”
”Is there really such a kind of wheat?”
”But our subjects”
Roland interrupted, ”When you give up the fiefs, those people will naturally no longer be your subjects They can decide to stay or leave by thee in the past was too low, and all your lands were sparsely populated A domain which was nearly 7 square kilometers could only support several thousands of people at most Such a widely dispersed population is extremely inconvenient for the implementation of policies Therefore it's inevitable to co cities I know you're still uncertain about the reform, but I can tell you it's the exact reason for the prosperity of Neverwinter Don't worry if you still don't knohat to do I'll send so change”
”Teach us?” Earl Delta stuttered
”Yes, some officials who've been well trained in the City Hall of Neverwinter will come to build a new ade these regions forso, you can only get limited salaries Alternatively, you can seek opportunities in the development of mass production to create endless wealth for yourselves, but if you choose to do so, you won't be allowed to interfere in governoverniven by City Hall” Roland explained slowly ”You don't need todepartment will be set up to a decision, but keep in mind that whichever choice you make, you'll achieve much more than the value of a piece of land”
Half an hour later, the nobles started to leave the hall
Roland heaved a sigh of relief ”Now the situation in the Redwater City is stabilized”
”And next, we're going to the Silver City and the old king's city We've finished the filtering procedure in the latter, so all we need to do is send soe it,” said Edith
”I wonder how everything's going in the Eastern Front” He looked out of theand saw a bright lassy surface of the lake shi+, Iron Axe will arrive at Valencia tomorrow”
”Ugh probably,” said Edith When thinking about what she had told Iron Axe before the battle and how the king had reacted to the bloody killing today, she felt her heart suddenly skip a beat She was somehow unsure of herself now
”I hope that everything goes well” Roland shrugged ”Go back to the Adviser Departht”
According to the plan, after getting the nao to clean up these rebels' doht as quickly as possible That hy the troops had been stationed outside the city
”Yes Your Majesty, I'll excuse myself” Edith replied absent-mindedly
”By the way,” he suddenly spoke when she was at the door of the hall, ”your plan was very clever Good job”
Good job?
Did I hear that right? His Majesty didn't mind what I did
At that ion felt an unprecedented sense of gratification
She suddenly realized that her worries were completely unnecessary and this was actually a correct choice for her to gain greater power As His Majesty did not like these devious plans and tricks, he needed someone like her to do this stuff for him
This was exactly the part she was adept at
Edith bowed her head to salute the king and then quietly walked into the darkness
