Transmigration of the bastard lord

The voice of the Elf Prince Otis crying away gradually, seeing off Captain Anna and Sear, Fu Youguang did not leave immediately to run to the workshop of the steel company that he valued the most recently, but hesitated for a moment, closed the door and sat down. Come in front of Sig.

"Huh?" The earl, who was sitting on the large office chair with the old god on the ground, raised his eyebrows.

"Well... I just want to ask, why do you ask me to intercept the 'Elf King' without even thinking about it? If it is the deity who came, there is no need to talk about our relationship. That thousand-year-old monster will deal with a newcomer like me It only takes a few minutes for a young rookie, right?" Brother Guang didn't hide his demigod moisture... Well, there is nothing to hide in front of Sig.

Sig was silent for a moment, Brother Guang's questioning did not annoy him, but instead he smiled meaningfully: "Oh? Do you mind if I don't pay enough attention to your safety?"

"...Uh, did I make you unhappy recently? You also know that I'm not good at guessing, so tell me the truth." Fu Youguang said righteously.

"Hehe..." Sig smiled happily, and then straightened his face instantly, "Idiot."

"...Don't be too lazy to criticize me for a long time, so it's okay to just mock my IQ concisely and clearly?" Fu Youguang narrowed his dead fish eyes.

"Please, how about showing some sincerity in what I say to you?" The Earl said with a blank expression.

"I will agree to whatever you say. If you point east, I will not go west. You see, I am so obedient, right?" Brother Guang... decisively lost his integrity.

"Okay. I won't be happy if you misunderstand me." Sig stopped teasing him, and said calmly, "Assuming that the person who came is the elf king himself, then first of all, his name for visiting is not right. The human kingdom is a mess. Wrong, but not so dull that you can tolerate the lord of the Ice and Snow King City rushing into the belly. No matter whether he has malicious intentions and wants us to become a thorn in the eyes of the royal families; , he has to be honest and get out of the way first. In the heart of the human kingdom, he will take the initiative to fight against the strong human race... His Ice and Snow King City has not been peaceful for many years."

"Uh..." Fu Youguang narrowed his eyes.

"Secondly, the bigger the interest group, the more involuntary the individual leader at the top. As the only owner of the royal power among the elves, the elf king is more constrained than King Sodia in the king's city. Much. What is the difference between your little friend... and the bird in the cage?" Sig smiled evilly at Brother Guang, full of malice.

"Hmm..." Fu Youguang frowned and thought hard.

"Once again, the entire northern elves have occupied the entire northern plain in the north of this continent, but their population is less than tens of millions... In contrast, the enemy of the Elf King is the Holy See with hundreds of millions of believers; behind the Holy See, there are two There are more than a dozen human kingdoms in the diocese... The pressure we feel when facing the Holy Land is a hundredfold, which is basically equal to the burden on the shoulders of the Elf King; we are eager for allies, and the Elf King is more than us. As long as we show enough strength... "Sig paused, and glanced at Fu Youguang, "...and the intelligence above the standard, let the Elf King understand that we are not pawns who can be driven at will, cannon fodder who can be ordered at will, put down our airs and cooperate with us, then, yes It’s a win-win situation for either side.”

"...The heart of playing politics is really dirty..." Fu Youguang couldn't help complaining, "Cooperate as long as you cooperate, this is all in the hope of 'you will be blamed and you will die'?"

"Compared to allies who want to share benefits equally, of course pawns who can be squandered as consumables are more attractive." The earl took it for granted.

"Yes, yes, I'll leave this to you, I'll get my steam engine." Fu Youguang looked bored, stood up as soon as he slapped his thigh, lifted his foot and walked outside.

"When are you going to get that shit?" Seeger frowned.

"Soon! If it can be directly updated to the internal combustion engine before it comes out, hehe, let me tell you, Hydesy has an industry that can be sold." Speaking of this, Fu Youguang was a little elated.

"...Oh? I thought you would be more interested in making guns. With the machine tool you airlifted from the dwarves, it shouldn't be too difficult to get the guns, right?" Sig rarely said a few words about Brother Guang's interest.

"Small-caliber firearms are no threat to professional level at all, and we don't have that technology for heavy firepower. We specially make firearms to face ordinary people, unless I eat too much..." Fu Youguang sighed, there are actually similar firearms in this world Alchemy equipment, but after it is made, it is just a thing; let alone for the professional level, it is barely useful for hunting... The skin of monsters and monsters is harder than alloy steel plates, and they cannot be pierced at all.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Brother Guang can't make explosives. After all, black powder is only a low-level item among alchemy products. , This thing has no technical content, and when others imitate it and turn their heads to deal with Hydesy, Brother Guang will have to piss himself off.

Fu Youguang chatted with Seeger for a few words and then went to the factory area. On the other side, Alpha, who walked into the city hall building under the leadership of the brave Kevin, became more silent after learning about the operation of Hydesy's institutional department. .

Kevin himself is not an idler. The Department of Civil Affairs has a lot of work. After he is busy with the reception department, he has to take care of it here.Simply because Alpha said "whatever you want", he also took the person to the office...

The Department of Civil Affairs is in charge of local development and construction planning, determination of farmland area, map review, household registration and other civil affairs related to people's livelihood. Alpha followed Kevin into the office of the Department of Civil Affairs. There are too many women, only to find that there are more female clerks after entering the door!Among these clerks, there are a large number of high-ranking maids transferred from work, and descendants of female aristocrats in the "anyway" of the original aristocratic families; most of them are senior intellectuals who have studied in formal schools (in terms of the popularity of culture in this world), and a few are acquired hard work Learn to dominate the party.

Kevin did not regard Alpha as a "spies". After all, the work of the Department of Civil Affairs is no more open, external, and transparent than other departments. Therefore, Alpha, who entered the internal government affairs department of the Hydesy system for the first time, had a broken world view. It was smashed once - a young woman in her early twenties (Ms. Daisy) led a group of staff to draw engineering drawings with calipers, compasses and other supplies. In Alpha's view, the drawings that were completely illegal were regarded as blueprints for upcoming construction These people are still discussing how many houses to demolish, how many green belts to reserve, and whether there are enough resettlement houses on the map.

I can't believe that such a group is designing the urban reconstruction plan. Alpha silently moved over. After listening for a while, there were more question marks in his head—this person was actually discussing the central city of Hyderside (historically The central city of the city) the urban planning of Marquis City!What made him even more distressed was that these plans focused on the transportation of ordinary residents, the location of schools, the arrangement of shopping spots, and other things that he had never heard of; when Ms. When the local vegetable market was built, Alpha was in a mess...

Several members of the urban management and reconstruction department of the Department of Civil Affairs were in dispute, and a manager who participated in the mapping had to come out to smooth things over: "We have all visited this place. There are three surrounding residential areas, and the farthest from the vegetable market is 10 minutes away. , it is indeed unreasonable; Everbright asked to reserve urban green belts, I think that in this way, the green belts will be integrated into the buildings of the residential area, and the total area will remain the same, so there will be no conflict with the vegetable market..."

Daisy's eyes lit up, and she pointed her finger somewhere in the drawing: "That's a good idea. In this way, the area opposite the vegetable market can be used to build a garbage disposal station..."

Alpha felt his head was dizzy, the officials of Hydesai, all they paid attention to was the inconvenience of the citizens buying vegetables?What do they think of civilians?Heavenly Father on the altar? !

Another employee immediately put forward a new idea: "Behind this is the septic tank of the Ministry of Health. Can the residues from the vegetable farm be gathered there?"

"Ok, Ok!"

"this is not bad."

The officials and managers around the table greatly agreed, so the original planned garden site was changed into a vegetable market...

Alpha left the table clutching his forehead, he couldn't listen anymore.There is nothing wrong with attaching importance to civilians, but it is unreasonable to pay attention to this level; looking around, Alpha walked to another cubicle in the office. Inside, Kevin, the deputy director, was counting the newly received Mama with a few secretaries. Qicheng household registration.Alpha leaned over to take a look, suddenly felt surprised, and then looked carefully, this well-informed and high-sighted court magician unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat-there is also a household registration system in this world, but it is only registered. The male master who is the head of the household; but Hydesy’s household registration is not only the male master, but all the family members are listed in the table, name, age, gender, physical characteristics...

Without a computer, the household registration registration on paper is rough after all; but in the eyes of Alpha, this is already very remarkable-at least 10,000+ people in a city, registering one by one, and everyone has to register their names and appearances. The characteristics indicate, how much work is this? !

Aware of this, Alpha watched Kevin's work more seriously; the more he watched, the more shocked he was - about the household registration of Marquis City, it's not just citizens!The countryside is also included!The household registration of these non-citizens is based on towns and villages, and every family is on file!

What makes Alpha even more chilling is that there are units called "new villages" in these household registration files about the villages; the so-called new villages refer to the villages composed of people who exchanged grain from other territories for grain after the autumn harvest in Hidesai; Among them, most of Ones' territories had exchanged fire with Hydes in the middle of this year...

In other territories, the acquired population is naturally slaves; but in Hyderside, they not only allocate houses and land to these people, but also indicate the list of family members of these people and the available government status on the household registration files. Material aid, agricultural support after spring plowing, seeds distributed according to labor, agricultural fertilizer...

Alpha had no doubts that it would not take a few years for these aliens to become real Hyderside people, and he was grateful to Brother Frendy; compared with this, he was more surprised by the workload and Execution power - he couldn't help but looked up at the large office of the Secretary of Civil Affairs, and glanced at the clerks and officials who were working hard in several compartments; At that time, Atwood Frendy could still think that Sig was talking big; but after seeing all this with his own eyes, Alpha can't help but wonder if he is crazy—even in the imperial capital, which is the center of imperial power, , He has never seen such a scene where all the staff are working hard!

But after a little in-depth understanding, he understood that this kind of scene cannot be faked - how can this kind of meticulous and terrifying workload be completed without putting in all the effort?

After Kevin brought Alpha in, he basically had no energy left to entertain him except for pouring a cup of hot water; together with his colleagues, they buried themselves in the classification of the household registration of Marquis City by region, and Kevin completely forgot that he was just arrested. The "task" assigned by Master Everbright; almost two months after the autumn harvest, the collection and statistics of the civil tax was sent by the Social Affairs Department, and the Department of Civil Affairs also had to go through the relevant registration; Together, Kevin dragged out the tax statistics filled with two large wooden boxes, and started a new round of busy work.

Haidesai’s land policy takes back all the land and distributes it to farmers according to the household registration population. The head is the unit, ten acres for adults, and five for minors, the elderly and the weak; but it is impossible to cultivate so many fields , In fact, because they don't know how to fertilize and take good care of the land, more than [-]% of the allocated farmland is regarded as unqualified by the people in the Ministry of Agriculture and belongs to barren land.

But even if only 45 to 45% of the land is suitable for farming, with the guidance of the agricultural teachers and the support of the castle's fertilizer, the harvest is only a lot more than in previous years. Taking a family of six as an example, assuming there are only three laborers in the family, then The allocated field is 9 mu; 300 mu of land can only be planted with 2700 mu of qualified land. Under intensive cultivation, the harvest can be 800 catties lower than that of the castle, so the total output can be more than 300 catties of staple grain; The rations under the average per person per year are more than [-] catties...

Don't doubt that, considering the current agricultural situation in this world, 300 jin of staple food per person per year is considered a "rich peasant"; besides these grains, farmers' fields that are not cultivated for staple food can be used to grow cash crops, that is, forage, soybeans , is also an additional income...

Alpha who was "ignored" quietly watched Kevin's work and the tax revenues recorded in the file. At the beginning, he could keep calm, but seeing that the grain harvested by several villages was so impressive, Alpha gradually couldn't calm down. ...

It is not a special case that a peasant household can turn in hundreds to more than a thousand catties of grain; what kind of concept is this?No matter how sparse the population of Haidesai is, there will always be 10 households; taking the minimum value of 10 peasant households, each household pays 800 catties of agricultural tax, that is 8000 million catties; that is, [-] tons...

Alpha, who did a simple mental calculation, was completely frightened by himself, dripping in cold sweat; what is the concept of 20 tons of staple food?It can support [-] full-time soldiers...

——Alpha, who was entangled in Hydesy's [-] professional level not long ago, is not entangled at all now.People can afford it!Ten times more can afford it!

The closing time of the city hall is already [-]:[-] pm. Of course, it is said that it is off work, and there are very few people who can leave at that time; most of the offices are still brightly lit, and the staff went to the canteen to fill their stomachs, and then returned to continue working overtime.

When Kevin felt hungry, he temporarily stopped the work of the group and asked everyone to go to dinner first; the deputy director who called his colleagues to leave their seats and move his body stood up with his sore waist, turned around and played a face-to-face with Alpha. face, almost jumped out more than three meters in fright, "God, heavenly father... Ah, Mr. Alpha?!"

"..." Alpha, who didn't know what expression to make, touched his nose and said with mixed feelings, "It seems that you are very busy, Mr. Kevin."

——The court magician... unconsciously used the honorific title.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Kevin bowed again and again to apologize, his face turned green, "I, I forgot that you were still there, I'm so sorry!"

"...It's nothing." Alpha said rather unhappily, "Your... ability to work is admirable. It's a pity, if you are in the imperial capital, at least you are in charge of one department."

——If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't be as shameless as Atwood Ferlandi, Alpha really wanted to take this guy away...

Kevin carefully observed the other person's face to confirm whether the Mr. Caster was really not angry: "You...are you hungry too? Shall I take you back to the hotel?"

"Hmm... I heard that Carmen's Canteen is where you dine. Can I try it?" Alpha said cheekily. The court magician knew it well in his heart. The more he knew about Hydesy, the more curious he became, and the more he wanted to know. What kind of power monster did the Frandy brothers create?

"Okay, okay, if you don't dislike it..." Kevin...uh, this young man has perseverance, but courage is...well, he didn't dare to say to these high-ranking spellcasters anyway. Nope.

Walking out of the office of the Secretary of Civil Affairs under the leadership of Kevin "nodding and bowing", Alpha looked back with a complicated expression at the secretaries and clerks who were still working in their seats and forgetting to eat and sleep; after a long time of observation, his old concept The "incompetent, ignorant, and vulgar" women don't change their faces in the face of huge data; the young people who are obviously too young, and their palms are basically full of thick calluses, are not as heavy as he thought. Hold your breath and can't bear the heavy responsibility.

Walking out of the city hall building, facing the crisp autumn night sky, the court magician couldn't help sighing—why did the gods favor Hydesy and Brother Frandy so much?Why are there so many talented people serving them without complaint?

What Alpha didn't notice was that his subconscious was already unbearably restless——Brother Frandy, what kind of mysterious charm does he have?
