Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

The southern part of October is still in the golden autumn season with a suitable climate, but a cold wind has quietly blown on the wasteland.

This year's winter seems to be coming earlier than in previous years, and it will probably usher in the first heavy snow at the end of the month.

"Sir, after the Southern Chamber of Commerce signed the cooperation contract yesterday, they left one after another early this morning." While handing over the documents to Harvey, Reiner couldn't help but mutter in a low voice, "Put half of the shipping company's armored ship They are all allocated to them to transport goods. When we transport migrant populations next year, we will be in trouble again."

Harvey waved his hand, "The shipyard has set up two new teams to start construction with all efforts. There will not be too many immigrants from the north in winter. We have enough time to wait for the new ship to be launched."

He flipped through the work report he handed over and asked casually: "By the way, has the final statistics on population growth in the North been completed this year?"

"The General Administration and the Population Management Department have already counted it. Putting a fixed population of 54,000 in previous years, this year, more than 38,000 immigrants moved from all over the southern border, plus several migrants returning from the northern wastelands. Tribe...The total population of Xinghuo City has reached the 100,000 people!”

The number that Harvey expected was not very different. Most of these immigrants came from the central and southern regions of the Principality, and were also civilians who were mainly affected after the outbreak of civil war. In addition, after Harvey took control of the situation in St. Valen, he forced the nobles to use both soft and hard We handed over the finite territory, and many tenant farmers who had no land had lost their livelihoods. Under the agitation and publicity of municipal departments in various places, they spontaneously boarded the ship to the north.

These fertile lands occupied by concentrated areas will be mechanized in large quantities in the coming year, and the yield of grain crops will be several times higher than that of previous crude man-managed farming.

"Yes, the food shortage problem has basically been alleviated. Next, we must focus on solving the living and living problems of these new immigrants, especially in dealing with the upcoming winter. The wasteland is not as good as the southern border. If these newly moved people this winter, Some people die of starvation due to cold and starvation, so the reputation of the city hall is bad.”

"Don't worry, sir, the city hall was ready in advance at the end of summer." Reiner replied confidently, "The Ministry of Construction has set up four temporary shelters outside the city to all the original sheds. The new construction was demolished and replaced with double-storey houses repaired with cement and stone bricks. There are a total of more than 3,000 rooms, which is enough to accommodate more than 20,000 people."

After all, in addition to the food shortage caused by the rapid population growth, the remaining living supplies that can be produced independently are sufficiently abundant. Almost everyone of new immigrants can receive a set of thick clothes that can withstand the wind and cold for free. The shelter area The relief canteen will also provide free porridge every day without interruption - this is different from the charity show of the church and the nobles. The porridge cooked in the municipal relief canteen is thick enough, not to mention the amount of fullness... On weekends, bacon is added to the porridge and cooked, which is a real and effective relief.

In addition, the territory's forest farm reserves have accumulated a large amount of charcoal, so that the shelter areas without HVAC can at least be distributed in winter to make a fire to keep warm.

In addition, several large workers' communities built by the Municipal Hall next to the industrial park in the city have been officially completed. Any new immigrant with temporary resident status has the opportunity to obtain a formal work contract after the internship is over and over. Apply for renting a low-rent welfare apartment.

The winter in the northern border is long and cold. Those who migrate here from a warm area are all nervous and hopeful. As long as they help them successfully pass the first winter after their settlement, these people will naturally be right. The Spark City and the City Hall under Harvey are full of trust.

The premise is that one person cannot be frozen to death, starved to death or died of illness this winter.

...

After discussing the important work that needs to be assigned with Reiner, Pierce almost rushed into the office after Reiner left. Now, he asked Harvey, the city lord, to report on his work and listen to orders every day. There are too many. Sometimes when you come a little late, you have to wait until the end for a whole day.

To this end, Harvey also ordered people to open a separate official lounge next to the lobby on the first floor of the castle.

"Sir, this is the process and plan of the military parade for the winter celebration, which was completed by the General Staff and the City Hall... In addition, the military operation to attack Eisengard has been completed at present, and after receiving the expedition, the logistics preparations for this military operation The combat battalion department of the mission is waiting for you to officially issue the order!”

"What's the hurry? Do they just don't want to participate in my coronation ceremony?" Harvey smiled and opened the work report. "I won't ask too much about the military parade. You just need to discuss and organize it yourself... Anyway, it's just to boost the momentum for the army. , do it for laymen to see.”

"But recruitment and daily training work cannot be completely stopped. Without affecting combat missions, the military must be expanded step by step!"

Pierce nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, the military headquarters will start next spring recruitment after the winter celebration. You should know that among the new immigrants who have moved this year, there are many good seedlings suitable for enlistment. The military's harvest of salary and benefits If young people flock to it, the door will be squeezed out as long as the conscription office posts a notice."

He paused, his tone implied with undepressed excitement, "When next spring, the total number of the Northern Army will reach at least 12,000, which is already an unparalleled armed force in the entire Southern Army... Now!”

"With that being said, our ultimate enemy is not just those knights and nobles, even demons and evil orcs... Faced with those demon lizard men who have not yet fully exposed their fangs, the number of soldiers alone is not as good as that. Things, I want them to become the elite among the elite!”

Pierce was stunned for a moment, understanding that Harvey was hinting that he should not blindly expand his army, pay attention to the quality of troops and military construction issues, and quickly bowed to answer.

According to common sense, the military recruitment and combat readiness logistics work should be completed independently by multiple logistics departments within it, but whether it is Pierce, the commander-in-chief or the senior officers of several main combat battalions, they all He is a practical talent with a low-level and worrying cultural level. Of course, there is no problem to go to the front line to lead the army to fight... But once logistics and administrative management are involved, it is very difficult. Money, grain and materials need cooperation from the city hall under the control of Reiner, and strategic deployment requires General Staff Department’s guidance.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

The military establishment framework that Harvey set up casually at the beginning has gradually shown its drawbacks under the current military scale of nearly 10,000 people. In addition, with the increasing frequency of foreign wars, most of the earliest veterans who joined the army have gradually entered The officer class, the original simple rank system has become no longer applicable.

Harvey felt that perhaps it was time to make a new round of reforms to the military system, and it would be very appropriate to directly copy the existing mature institutional framework I knew in my previous life.
