Chapter 167

"Lord hill, there are now more than 100 villagers in Bligh village, with a total population of at least 400."

Village head Joel had a silent calculation in his heart before he could roughly say a number. In fact, village head Joel didn't know how many people there were in the specific village, because no one cared about how many people there were in the village if he didn't have enough to eat.

Although village head Joel doesn't know what the census in Hill's mouth means, it sounds like checking the population. Village head Joel doesn't know what the measure means.

However, since scholar hill has said that this is an important work, even if village head Joel thinks this matter is meaningless, he should actively cooperate with him. Village head Joel knows his identity and only needs to obey orders.

"Lord hill, there are only more than 200 people in Dia village, and there are less than 100 villagers, but twenty or thirty people died this winter."

"Lord hill, the situation in Djibouti village is similar to that in Dia village, with a population of more than 200."

Scholar Hill nodded, indicating that he already knew that the total population of the three villages was less than 1000. If you count the population of the shack area of isaacburg, the whole isaacburg was less than 3000. The situation is indeed not optimistic.

In fact, when the population was the largest in the past, the total population of the whole kresenberg was more than 5000, but many people starved to death every year due to food.

In recent years, the population of the whole territory has shown a negative growth. Even with the population transferred by Nord from christenberg, it is now less than 4000, which indicates that more than 1000 people have died in the territory in recent years.

However, according to the data, the crimson family is indeed sinful and countless, so it really deserves to get the end now. But in other words, the small number of people also reduces some burden on hill scholars. With the scale of more than 2000 people under isaacburg, Hill scholars' grass-roots team can still manage it.

Especially in the shack area, this place is like a cancer of isaacburg. Both Nord and hill scholars decided to completely eliminate this cancer. Next, the focus of isaacburg's work is to re plan the whole shack area. Now we can only say that this work has a heavy task and a long way to go.

Because the area of the shack area accounts for more than two-thirds of the whole isaacburg. If you look down from the air, it is a circle of shack area outside, which almost surrounds the whole castle. It is very difficult to rebuild. This is a long-lasting project. If it is not rebuilt, it will greatly affect the image of the whole castle.

Especially for people like Nord who have passed through a clean city in previous lives, such a shack area can't bear to look directly at it, even the garbage dump in the city.

If Nord was allowed to choose, Nord would still choose to live in Tami village as a manor, and would not like to stay in the current isaacburg. Even though isaacburg is much larger than Tami village, Nord does not want to live in the garbage.

Fortunately, Nord has helped Hill scholars solve half of the problems in advance. If Nord had not previously transferred half of the population in the shack area, it is estimated that hill scholars would be more headache now, but now hill scholars can start reconstruction from the place where there is no one in the shack area, which will reduce the burden of work.

However, the reconstruction of shack areas must be behind the census, but Hill scholars estimate that it will not take much time. In a week at most, Hill scholars are sure to register all the information of all civilians under the rule of isaacburg.

In fact, the work of census is not difficult, but the content of the work is very trivial. There may be some problems in the early stage, but when Hill's students and servants are skilled in the work, the progress will be very fast.

"So then you go back and get ready. I'll start the census from Bligh village in a few days. You first tell the villagers about it, especially about the fact that their Lord has become Viscount Nord."

At this point, scholar Hill looked at Lord Nord sitting at his desk, nodded to Nord, and then asked:

"Lord Nord, do you have anything else to add?"

Nord took a serious look at the three village heads. In addition to listening to their conversation just now, Nord also observed their every move. According to Nord's preliminary judgment, the three village heads are still OK. Nord can't see any other problems except some formality.

"In addition to the orders of scholar hill, I'll give you another task, that is, you ask in the village if there are young men who are interested in war. After the census, someone will go to your village to recruit soldiers. The treatment of my soldiers will certainly satisfy you. I'll tell you carefully when recruiting."

As Lehman is still recovering, Nord can only inform the three village chiefs of this matter. Yes, Nord plans to expand the army again. In addition to the crossbow squadron originally planned to stay in isaacburg, Nord also plans to expand two Spearman squadrons in isaacburg, that is, recruit 100 more recruits.

However, Nord did not intend to recruit in the shack area of isaacburg. The remaining people had lost their opportunities. Nord had given them several opportunities before, and they didn't grasp them. Therefore, the scope of Nord's recruitment was set in the remaining three villages.

In addition, Nord also plans to mention the treatment of his soldiers, because the treatment originally formulated can no longer keep up with the development of Tami village. Before, the treatment of each soldier was 30 copper shells a month and one bread a day.

At present, such treatment does not earn as much as the apprentices in the workshop. Although it is said that soldiers should not make more money than those apprentices, the treatment of soldiers should not be too poor, otherwise it will attack the enthusiasm of soldiers.

When Nord recruited the crossbow squadron before, if the villagers were eager to work for Nord and envied Nord's excellent equipment, it was estimated that Nord would be difficult to recruit many people.

Because the treatment of the army is not as high as that of the ordinary construction team, but there is no doubt that the status of the soldiers under Nord in Tami village is much higher than that of the villagers of the construction team.

In Tami village, as long as a soldier walks on the road wearing a standard leather armor with an Isaac family Eagle Crest on his chest, he can welcome the envy of everyone on the road.

The main reason is that Nord is deliberately improving the social status of soldiers. In fact, the salary of soldiers should have increased long ago, but at that time, Nord's funds were not rich. Since Nord's level was improved, the tasks of the system have become very few, and most of Nord's funds were obtained from task rewards before.

So Nord didn't dare to spend money recklessly before, especially when he spent Kinser coins to buy weapons. Until now, Nord is very regretful. If he didn't want to attack heimu stronghold at that time and the soldiers lack weapons, Nord wouldn't spend so much money at once. Until now, the financial problem has not eased.
