Chapter 344 The solution to the shortage of people Most of the renovation projects undertaken by the construction group of the outpost have been completed. The entire city of Selia is completely new compared to the original. The neat streets, castles and residential areas are all very well designed. Queen Irina is very concerned about the work of the outpost. She was extremely satisfied. In her mind, the renovated Selia City now showed some of the unique style of the royal capital of the Coman Empire. At this time, Queen Irina was standing at the gate of the palace, listening to the people around her reporting to her the latest news from the Coman Empire. "The reconstruction work of Bawa City has begun. According to the report of the new city lord, they will need at least 300,000 gold coins." "It's too expensive. I remember that Bawa City is not a big place. Why do you need so many gold coins to rebuild it? Tell the newly appointed Lord of Bawa City that the empire will allocate him up to 50,000 yuan and let him figure out the rest." "Yes, Your Majesty." "Have all the rebels over there been dealt with?" "A very small part of them have escaped. General Noel has been assigned to pursue them and clear them out. It will probably take less than half a month to deal with them." Irina snorted when she heard this, and said to the intelligence officer beside her: "Have any of our people witnessed the outpost launching an attack on Bawa City?" The intelligence officer nodded directly and said affirmatively: "Yes, it's a pity that we don't have that kind of video footage of the scene... According to some information from the subsequent investigation, the Tianwei only gave a very short period of time after it appeared. The surrender time was up, and as soon as the time came, they immediately launched a devastating attack, wiping the entire Bawa city off the ground."
"Bawa City was completely wiped out?" Queen Irina raised her eyebrows. She originally thought that Bawa City was just bombed out of the city, but she didn't expect that the situation was far more serious than she knew. "It turned into a completely ruined building. Our people went to Bawa City to collect intelligence a week later. There were only ruins left there, which are actually similar to the original Foothill City." The intelligence officer reported truthfully, but Irina didn't show any emotion after listening to it. She had seen the situation in Foothill City before. Hundreds of thousands of orc troops had become barbecued meat in a matter of seconds. The smell of barbecued meat in the air had not dissipated for more than ten days... There are not that many people in Bava City. Duke Rono's remnant forces have always been considered a bandit force. They basically eat people and horses wherever they go, burning, killing, and looting all the way. The ordinary people of the Coman Empire can hardly survive. After coming down, the attack on the outpost did not cause many casualties to ordinary people. After this group of rebels was dealt with, the Coman Empire did not have time to rebuild Bawa City for several months. It was precisely because there were not enough manpower around Bawa City that people were moved from the hinterland of the Coman Empire to the bitter cold in the northwest. Not many people are willing, so things can only be delayed. Irina said to the intelligence officer beside her, "Let them establish contact with the nearby mines. If there are personnel from the outpost, try to contact them as much as possible. You can entrust the reconstruction of Bawa City to the outpost." People from the base.” The intelligence officer also showed a hint of embarrassment: "I have contacted the outpost before, and they mean that there is no need to rebuild the city on the original site of Bawa City." "Why?" "There are...too few people." The intelligence officer gritted his teeth and said: "The empire's control over Stuttgart is not very high. The population was directly cut in half after the ravages of Duke Rono and the Emmon Empire. The southern city with a larger population was directly cut off. They’re all gone. A large number of the empire’s young and middle-aged labor force never returned after going to the battlefield. The population in the northwest city itself is small. It’s true to say that the population is depleted after the rebels wreaked havoc.” "What is the current situation of the reconstruction of Bawa City?" Irina stared at the intelligence officer and her voice became stern. "The Imperial Council said that the construction of Bawa City was necessary. After all, it was an important city in the northwest frontier of the empire. So they assigned a group of people to go to the old site first, and the funds needed for reconstruction were also calculated by these people. "These damn old people!" The Queen directly interrupted the intelligence officer's words, "I think they are living too comfortably and no longer know the current situation of the empire! Are they going to rebuild Bawa City? Are they trying to make money on the pretext of reconstruction? It’s just money!” The sudden harsh words made the intelligence officer dare not speak out anymore. Queen Irina walked around twice, seeming to be thinking about how to handle this matter. After more than ten seconds, he continued to hear Irina's voice slowly: "Since Bawa City no longer exists, then don't waste money on it anymore... Find me a copy of the statistics of the outpost. Come, I want to find out how many people are left in the empire. After the war, I always feel that the population has not recovered much. The huge Stuttgart continent is actually depopulated. It would really make people laugh if I tell you!" The intelligence officer immediately nodded in response, and Queen Irina waved her hand towards him tiredly, indicating that he should go find information for her first.
"It turns out that managing an empire is not as simple as imagined." It is now half a year after Irina ascended to the position of Queen. The huge Stuttgar continent has completely belonged to the Coman Empire with the help of the outpost. Aimeng has been destroyed, and there is no longer any opposition voice or opponent in the empire. Her position No. 1 in the Lin Empire!
But as time went by, Irina still felt deeply powerless. A lot of troubles in the empire made her very annoyed. The quarrels and attacks between various people in the palace often made her angry uncontrollably. The taxation and collection work between the major cities was often not smooth. Today is not the north. A drought in a certain place is a flood in the southern part of Tomorrow's Empire... Irina hasn't slept peacefully for a long time. Now an imminent problem has appeared in front of Irina - the empire is short of people!
Although the outpost has been added to the daily life of the Stuttgar continent, it has directly and efficiently improved the quality of life of the entire Coman Empire, allowing most of them to have enough to eat and wear warm clothes, but these have not significantly improved. The population of the Coman Empire. Due to successive wars and foreign invasions, the number of ordinary people in the Coman Empire has been reduced by half. Now the main situation within the Coman Empire is that there are more boys and girls. In several cities near the northern capital, the ratio of men to women has even reached A staggering 1-25! "Go and call the person in charge of statistics from the empire!" "There are also those who manage childbirth, those who manage marriage..." Queen Irina seemed very irritable after reading the statistical data. She was giving orders to the intelligence officer below. At this time, the figure of Magister Naya appeared at the palace gate in the distance. She walked forward for two seconds. Bu knelt down on one knee towards Irina: "Your Majesty." "You're back?" Irina looked at Naya and breathed a sigh of relief, "Did things go smoothly?" "Thanks to His Majesty, everything went smoothly." Naya stood up and approached Queen Irina, "I have heard about your troubles, and I have a good idea to deal with these problems." "Oh? Tell me." "In the more than two months since I went to their world, I have learned a lot about some of their common methods." Naya, who had not been seen for a long time, smiled: "We can definitely use their method to quickly solve our population problem." Irina raised her head and looked at the sexy and charming mage in front of her, frowning slightly. "That is to hold a blind date between the Coman Empire and the outpost, and the follow-up is to fully liberalize the marriage restrictions between the empire and the outpost!" (End of this chapter)
