Chapter 378 The Decision Is Yours! (2 Updates)
Year 130, March 1.
Bay collar.
clear.
bright sunshine,
Facing the smiling and curious faces, Butler Ralph felt sincere joy.
The Gulf Territory is getting better and better, and there are more and more talents in all aspects, which has far exceeded his expectations.
After everyone was seated, Butler Ralph smiled and said:
“Different from the commendation summary meeting in the New Year, today’s meeting will determine the development tasks of the territory this year.”
"First of all, let me talk about the current situation of the territory so that everyone can understand."
"In the past two months, we have gradually attracted 80,000 people from the Carr Plain."
"Although it is less than the peak period last year, it is very stable and is expected to continue until June."
"The number of refugees absorbed by the South has now reached 50,000, and the number is showing an upward trend."
"They will be the same as the population of Karl Plain. They will first be settled in the Misty Swamp and Silver Moon River Plain strongholds that need to be opened up."
"After they have been trained and reviewed, they will join the Gulf Territory one after another to ensure that they will not cause unrest."
On this point, everyone agrees.
After all, the current Gulf Territory was built little by little by pioneers like them.
It is impossible for others to enjoy the same benefits as them once they arrive in the Gulf Territory, and they may even be greedy and cause trouble.
Through advance training and training, it will not only improve the abilities of the refugees, but also enable them to adapt to life in the Gulf Territory in advance.
After putting in the hard work and labor, they will cherish it even more!
"The number of soldiers has been recruited by another 4,000, reaching 14,000."
"There are currently 8,000 regular soldiers and 6,000 reserves."
"Every month in the future, there will be a recruitment target of about 2,000 people. I hope you will be prepared."
The increasing number of soldiers represents that the Gulf Territory is not satisfied with its current power and achievements.
This is to continue to forge ahead!
If it were in the past, everyone was accustomed to being civilians, adventurers, and ordinary soldiers, and I'm afraid they wouldn't have much interest in fighting and the development of territory.
If you are called up, you have to complain.
Now, it's completely different!
Who would object to the territory being too large and having too many people in charge?
Butler Ralph saw the excitement in everyone's eyes and was not in a hurry to start right away. Instead, he continued to introduce:
"Last year, a total of 500,000 acres of land were reclaimed. In the first two months of this year, we reclaimed 1.5 million acres."
“In addition to the increase in the number of people, innovation and research on reclamation tools are the key to improving reclamation efficiency.”
"The research and development of technology and new tools will become increasingly important, and corresponding departments must increase investment."
"In addition, I would like to thank Mr. Li for the new rice and wheat seeds he has developed, which can increase the yield by another 100 kilograms per mu, so that the yield per mu can reach 700 kilograms and 800 kilograms."
"The Lord has decided to reward Mr. Li with 200,000 gold coins to encourage everyone to make greater contributions to the development of the territory."
Lao Li, who was attending a meeting for the first time, subconsciously widened his eyes when faced with this sudden surprise.
He happened to see the envious looks cast by many people again. Even though he had long since ignored such false fame, he couldn't help but feel relieved.
In life, one is either seeking fame or profit.
In the past, Lao Li thought that he might just be a part-time worker in the Gulf.
Now I feel that he should at least work a long-term job.
Maybe, the idea that I have been thinking about for a long time will come true?
Then, Butler Ralph continued to talk about the professional training academy, adult skills and technical training, the development status of each stronghold, and other matters.
The big guys who had a tacit understanding for a long time could tell from the order in which Butler Ralph said these things, how much the territory valued these issues.
What made everyone extremely sad was that Butler Ralph did not even mention the recruitment and taxation that other territories and nobles valued most.
"Well, the current development status of the territory is like this. If you have any new ideas and plans, you can discuss them at the meeting."
“Once the plan is determined, we must proceed step by step and steadily.”
As soon as the words fell, the big guys who had grown up a lot began to discuss their own tasks and responsibilities.
Even Elio and Alona, who usually don't speak much, couldn't help but express their plans and thoughts.
Everyone agrees with what the Bay Leader said:
"The territory is my home, and its construction depends on everyone."
Because everyone can see that the fruits of territorial development do not belong to certain classes, but to everyone.
Every step forward in the development of the territory is closely related to everyone, bringing better life and development to everyone.
This is what everyone has seen with their own eyes!
While everyone was making suggestions, Matthew, who was sitting at the top, was looking at the big guy's attribute panel.
Butler Ralph is a level 10 butler with a challenge level of 13+ and a lucky value of +3.
Angela, a level 10 knight, has a challenge level of 14+ and a lucky value of +4.
Beelzebub, a level 14 warrior, challenge level 18+, luck +4.
Leon, a level 10 warrior, challenge level 14+, luck +5.
Except for Lyon, a "lucky" figure, the luck values of the three people most affected by Matthew have remained normal and stable, and they have all exceeded their respective upper limits.
Especially Angela, who had just learned the "Heroic Aura", grew up at a speed that was no worse than Leon, the "lucky protagonist".
It gave Matthew a big surprise.
Macaron, 8th level mage, challenge level 9+, luck value -2.
Old John, 9th level warrior, challenge level 13+, luck value -3.
Field, 11th level ranger, challenge level 14+, luck value -3.
Arnold, 14th level warrior, challenge level 17+, luck value -3.
Feili, 7th level ranger, challenge level 10+, luck value -3.
Lianna, 2nd level arcanist, challenge level 6+, luck value -4.
Ailona, 4th level druid, challenge level 8+, luck value -5.
The people whose luck declined gave Matthew more insights.
Especially the few people who underwent surgical transformation were obviously affected.
"Going against the will of heaven and changing your fate will indeed lead to "divine punishment", which means a decrease in your luck."
"I don't know where Macaron got unlucky again, but he was just protected by the territory."
"Feili and Lianna have been tested again in less than half a year."
"Alona doesn't seem to have any problems, but her problem is the most serious."
The changes in everyone's fate attributes gave Matthew more insights.
"But this is just right, it's you who will be chosen!"
"Consume 100,000 fate power and start the choice of fate!"
"Ding, choose one, abandon the territory of the Dark Forest and fight on the defense, luck +3!"
"Choose two, defend the fortress and stronghold of the Dark Forest, luck -3!"
