THE WORLD DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM

the chapter 50

One of the villagers spoke to one of his friends, “I believe John would be a better Baron for us in the northern border town and because he was a student of Grandma Melanie, he said, I am sure he will improve and help our city like how Grandma Melanie helped us in times of need when we needed Medicine but we lacked it. ”

Another man added,” That's right, even my father was full of praise for John according to him John is the one who solved the Barren land problem in the city and a lot of work for this year. It was also confirmed by Chief Sam and all representatives who attended last month's meeting on Agriculture matters. “

The third person added, “In addition he also prioritized hiring people in our village and this has solved the unemployment problem in the city. My older brother already worked at Rose's soap factory and from what I know, the wages and incentives there were too good. When John recruited next month for his factory, I had already applied and joined my brother. Unemployment over the years has caused many of our friends from the village to migrate to cities where they can find work and this is also one of the reasons why our city was never inhabited after a certain point. ”

One of them added in a depressed tone,” Yes many of them became slaves in the cities due to high debts. “

To comfort his friend, one of them added, “But his actions prove that he has the best interests in our village, he has reduced taxes to a minimum in our kingdom, he said, it would be of great help to all the villagers and this might make all the villagers who left the village return. If anyone leaves the village to travel and meet with an acquaintance from the past, they should at least be informed of the current situation in the village and we can help them free them from slavery if we get enough money. ”

” But convincing them to return will be difficult because many do not like our borders because it is always unsafe against monsters. However, we can still try and do our best and persuade them. “

“It was still better than nothing when the Baron never protected our village. It is always us who fund and defend the territory for our lives while he simply extorts us for our taxes.”

“Your words are right, better than the baron defending us. And since the village chief and the other leaders support John then there will be no problem with the others either. ”

Many people heard the conversation between these youths and many were even able to connect themselves from the events they were talking about. Then, the commotion in the village was settled.

After all the commotion was resolved, everyone arrived at the John House to discuss future plans and how to deal with future problems.

Arriving at the Mansion John was quite surprised to see Vlad’s and Diana’s. Eric then arrives and explains it to Joseph and John who then understand the reason for their presence.

Today Tornwall is accompanied by Eric. Eric had already received orders from Joseph earlier to accompany Tornwall to the John’s Mansion as he would become one of the main characters during the meeting after everyone had gathered. Eric had already been told by Joseph that Tornwall would be one of the main engineers who would lead the northern border industrial base under John and hence the care.

Everyone first decided to head to the biggest Hall in the mansion and have a meeting there.

John started the meeting with a short speech in the Hall, “As you know, I've already bought the northern border, however, our problem is still there and we have to deal with it efficiently from now on. I first want to hear from you guys that how do we deal with the Beast invasion that will be around the corner during this Winter ”

It was Jay who first proposed,” Objectively, we lack men and more importantly trained men, however, we still have 5 months before winter so buying more slaves and giving them basic training can at least help us be better prepared for the invasion. “

Mayor Sam proposes, “Why don't we hire Mercenaries for Job on this one if we pay them high enough, they'll do any bidding for us”

Tornwall furrowed her brows when she heard the idea of hiring mercenaries due to her horrible past, however, she still did not mind in front of John for now.

Joseph rejected this idea and gave his own opinion on the idea of recruiting mercenaries, “I object, hiring mercenaries is easy but getting rid of them is harder if they smell the money here. Moreover, many people in this room might not know about the mercenary relationship with the various nobles. There are even various Mercenary groups that are directly controlled by the nobles so hiring them would be riskier since it would practically invite a pack of wolves to our home which would be more problematic for us. “

Meanwhile, Vlad and Diana watched the entire commotion that was happening from outside the field. They had no plans to interfere in this meeting or give advice to them because it was their internal matter and it would be very rude to doubt their abilities unless they chose to ask for their help.

Eva said to John, “Maybe I can ask my friends from the Imperial capital to help us this time, they can be very useful for us since there are many witches.”

After hearing everyone's opinion, John concluded and said, “I know, what you guys are thinking now, I'll think the same because I know we don't have enough soldiers to protect our borders, so this time I want to show you guys one of my best blueprints. This is a Ballista Cross blueprint and catapult that I personally designed and can begin for production once the Forge is built in town, so this time our main focus was on building forging and then producing Ballista arrows. In the meantime, we can already start catapult production. Your main focus is to train the slaves and soldiers in archery and Jay will be one of the main archery instructors. “
