Poverty Alleviation Princess

What will the new city lord do when he takes office?

The first thing is to sort out the mess left by the previous city lord - of course the most important thing is to see how much food is in stock, this is the key point.

In troubled times, money and food are the hard currency.Especially the latter, this is the root, the capital to settle down.After all, when the chaos is such that the people are in dire straits, living with a full stomach is the only thing people pursue.

So that's the number one priority.

So after a search in the city lord's mansion, the assets left by the city lord, as well as the inheritance left by the big monster, became A Yuan's first pot of gold in this world.

Maybe it's because the weather has been really good recently, or because they have robbed some wealthy households or cities before, this 'first pot of gold' is a little richer than imagined.

If you tighten your belt, you don't have to worry about it for at least this year and next.

There should be surplus grain to recruit people to build roads and open up wasteland.

Then sell these messy luxury goods (cloths, spices) and the like, and if it goes well, there will be start-up funds for the handicraft workshop.

Then there is the selection and rectification of the laborers in the inner city, the formulation of new codes of conduct and literacy training for employees, and the corresponding assessments will be arranged later in order to screen out outstanding employees who can be used.

After that, a census and statistics will be conducted to re-register the existing population and villages and towns.

It's a long and tedious job.After all, in the era of war, the demise of villages and towns is as common as drinking water and eating.It may take years for a village to be established, but it may disappear only because of a decision of the city lord or daimyo.

A military rebellion, a bandit looting, a famine or even a lord's taxation and conscription may make a village disappear from now on.Especially since there are still monsters in this world, the mobility of personnel is even higher.In order to survive, people will always migrate from places where they cannot live to places where they can live.

Therefore, it is also difficult for the daimyo to grasp the specific situation-probably only when taxes and soldiers are collected, they will go from village to village.

As for the statistics of cultivated land to understand the growth and varieties of crops, the statistics of yield, selection and breeding, improvement of existing grain varieties, cultivation of insect-resistant and drought-resistant varieties, and the development of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, these are all... there is no shadow.

There are also those stragglers and those who simply fell into bandits in the defeated country, and it will take time to find and clean them up.Otherwise, let them rob houses and harass the people every day, no matter how good the decision is, no matter how much they gain, it will not be enough for them to suffer.It is already very difficult to fight the man-eating monsters, and it will be really difficult to live in chaos inside.

In order to complete this work, there must first be clerks who can be used (at least able to write and count), and soldiers to protect the clerks.

They are not scoundrels who can only bully honest villagers like the women's team, but qualified soldiers who have been trained and have certain organizational discipline and fighting ability.

——In the past, there were either ninjas or Vongola ready-made members available, so she never worried about this aspect.

Didn't find it at all.

Obviously armed force is so important, but she has never worried about it for so many years.All she did was check the number of people, positions, approval of site use permits and related payments, and that was it.

The most critical items such as recruitment, placement, training, and weapons...have never bothered her.

A Yuan felt more and more how lucky he was before.

If you have nothing at the beginning, you have to worry about how to train an armed force... She may really end before she even started.

She can still think of ways to farm and earn money, but training and managing the army... This involves her knowledge blind spot.She doesn't have the energy to do these things either.

Fortunately, there are spots around this time.

With such a reliable military advisor, how could he not use it?

So Yuan confidently appointed Uchiha Madara as a general, allocated an open space and some money and food for him, and entrusted him with full authority.

I don't ask for advice to produce a group of ninjas who can resist and fight, but I want to be able to surround the city and resist to a certain extent when monsters attack-no matter how bad it is, they can escort the people in the city to escape.

As for the other tasks... In the current situation of extreme shortage of manpower, I can only write down everything in the memorandum.

"I thought it would be easy to see the world."

A Yuan reflected while holding a charcoal pen and writing on the paper.

"So why on earth did I contract this city in a flash of my head..."

And it still doesn't mean that there are good places with scenery or treasures worth staying, but it's just that there is no merit in one place, and the mess that was tossed by the previous city lord is full of holes.

Obviously at first he just wanted to meet the city lord to save someone, and then, like the protagonist of countless adventure works, after the vigorous rescue operation, he left behind, hid his achievements and fame, and started the next journey.

This is the standard process of rg games.

Taking advantage of the fact that there is no one around now, A Yuan muttered to himself what only he could understand.

"Do you want to leave now?"

Uchiha Madara came in from the outside and asked seriously.

"As long as you want, I can take you wherever you want at any time."

He looked at the girl in front of him, there was no sign of a joke or temptation on his face.

As long as the girl in front of him wanted to, he would respond to her wish.

Whether it's taking her away, or traveling through the world together.

Even if she regrets wanting to unify the world halfway, he will do his best to fulfill her wish.

To be honest, at the moment when he heard it, A Yuan's heart was moved.

Not only the heartbeat, but also a little desire to act.

It was right, this world was her freedom that she took back with great difficulty.Coupled with being with the person you like, you must have a two-person trip that you can leave first, right?Although if two people can be together well, there is a happy world everywhere, but if there is a chance, of course, I hope to see different scenery, meet different people, and leave many different memories, right?

However, when I think of the hundreds of pairs of blank eyes with a little panic, plus the city that has already shown a decadent atmosphere.That little bit of heartbeat was extinguished like a candle in the wind.

If no one takes care of it, I am afraid that within two years, this place will be completely deserted.It is difficult for civilians without a backbone to organize resistance in a disaster.It is more likely that these unattended soldiers will become bandits who rob civilians in the next second.

Plus monsters that may appear at any time...

Ah Yuan never thought that he could save everyone, nor that he was the one who could save the world.

But knowing that there was a tragedy happening, she couldn't stand by and watch.

and so……

At least to bring a new order to the city, and then...find a qualified city master and then conduct a surprise training for a year and a half.That way she can leave with peace of mind.

A Yuan was not worried that he would not find such a person.In fact, no matter what era, there is no shortage of capable people, and there is no shortage of caring people.People who have this qualification and want to climb up, as long as they are given the opportunity, they will naturally stand out.

All that matters is time and opportunity.

Regardless of age or gender.

A Yuan is willing to give everyone a chance. If there is such a talent among these girls who have suffered so much, then she doesn't mind cultivating another 'female city lord'.

In the end she shook her head, rejecting the very attractive offer.

"...Let's wait a little longer."

"Wait until everything here is on the right track before leaving—just think of it as a review of past skills and knowledge. It's quite rare to have such an experience again, isn't it?"

After all, in their world, the hardest part is over.With the development of the economy, the ninjas also went out independently and began to evolve in a more peaceful direction. Even if they build new cities later, under these conditions, it will not be as difficult as it is now.

Therefore, it is a precious experience to open up wasteland in the second week like this... probably.

"Sorry, I always seem to keep you waiting for me."

Yuan walked up to Uchiha Madara, and took his hand with a little guilt.

Madara Uchiha shook his head:

"No, there is no such thing."

He took the girl's small hand and hooked his fingers together.

He never feels that he is hard, so whether it is pursuing or waiting, it is not hard.Compared with everything he got, what he paid was so small.

Even compared with going in the wrong direction from the beginning, or struggling in the darkness without light, this kind of waiting and pursuit of the goal is full of expectations.

...Not to mention, he finally got the 'response' he never thought he could have.

Although I followed Ji Jun's footsteps on the journey, maybe it was because I felt that I would be punished for being too greedy, or because I felt guilty that I couldn't bring even a little bit of benefit to Ji Jun no matter where I was.At the beginning, he didn't think that the two might have a closer development.For him, being able to get a "welcome" from Ji Jun, being able to follow her like this, being able to touch her with his hand, being able to get her response, being able to become her strength.To be her sword and shield is enough.

As long as he did that, he could deeply suppress the raging flames in his chest.As usual, stay by her side quietly and be a qualified 'ninja' who won't cause trouble to the employer.

He thinks he can do it.

"I'm so happy to be by your side like this."

"Me too." A Yuan leaned forward, leaning against the man's chest as if to draw strength.

She was very happy to have him by his company—no, it would be better to say that it was because of him that she had the courage to do what she thought she should do without the slightest bit of confusion.

"Madara, I think..."

Boom!

Before Yuan finished speaking, he was suddenly pulled into his arms by Uchiha Madara.And almost at the same time, there was a loud noise in the open space in front of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Hey—are you still alive? Are you not alive?"

A loud voice came over.

"Knowing that I'm looking for hair restorer materials, but taking young women into the city to eat by themselves, it's too much! It's really too much!"

As if emphasizing, he repeated the words deliberately.

The raised dust dissipated, and Ah Yuan saw the true face of the guy who made the loud noise outside from the window.

...a catfish monster in armor?
