Chapter 356
Since the Minister of Military Affairs Viscount Jawes was absent, the report was made on his behalf by the battalion commander of the People's Army stationed in the north wall.
The battalion commander mainly reported on the preparations made to resist the immortal monsters this winter.
Thanks to the skyrocketing population in Dawn City, many people responded to the recruitment order issued by the City Hall, which made the recruitment work of the People's Army very smooth.
The number of soldiers stationed in Dawn City alone has reached as many as a thousand.
Although most of them are new recruits, they are more than enough to deal with immortal monsters under strict training, the blessing of powerful weapons and the leadership of veterans.
You should know that when the fleet set out in the early spring of this year, the size of the People's Army was only 1,500.
After quelling the southern rebellion, most of the People's Army soldiers took over the important task of garrisoning the border and temporarily stayed on the Great Wall of the border.
Now, the garrison in Dawn City has quickly increased to a thousand people, and other places are also recruiting troops. It is roughly estimated that the People's Army soldiers may have expanded to seven or eight thousand.
It is expected that the number of the People's Army will reach the goal set by Irving next spring and become a strong army with tens of thousands of people.
By then, the days to truly unify the Kingdom of Morning Light will not be far away.
Subsequently, Science Minister Nookerian and Magic Minister Garcia reported to Irving in turn.
Over the past year, Nookery has led researchers to complete many experimental projects in the chemistry laboratory, helping some factories involving the chemistry part to be put into production smoothly.
In addition to this year's graduates, Newcomer has also recruited some adults from outside to the laboratory.
People who have to go through his strict selection and testing to meet the requirements of literacy and strong learning ability can enter the laboratory and become assistants.
At present, the chemistry laboratory is full, and Newry has applied to Irving, hoping to build two new chemistry laboratories.
This application is naturally approved.
Garcia reported that thanks to preferential policies for special talents, the number of magicians registered in Dawn City has exceeded 500.
Most of them get a high-paying job here through the arrangements of the city hall.
Although the strength of these magicians is uneven, Irving is quite satisfied with the result. What he needs is that the magicians devote themselves to the production of Dawn City, not fighting.
There are only a few magicians who join the Magic Sniper Team and can be ignored.
The battle should be left to the professional People's Army.
It is precisely with the hard work of the Fire and Wind magicians that the steel production in Dawn City can be increased to its current peak and can further expand production in the future.
There is also the huge role of the earth magician in construction, which has accelerated the construction of various projects in Dawn City.
In short, the magicians have made great contributions to the promotion of industrialization in Dawn City.
The final report was Clive, the general manager and secretary of the Finance Department of the City Hall.
After reporting on financial matters, he reported to Irving that the current population of Dawn City was in Dawn.
The migration plan implemented in the southern border has ended, and the population size of Dawn City has exceeded 100,000.
Clive cannot give a specific number. On the one hand, there are too many people pouring into Dawn City, and the census is difficult. On the other hand, Dawn City has too strong ability to attract population. Even if the census is surveyed, the data will soon be inaccurate.
The number 100,000 is based on the registration records of passenger terminals and road passes, and the data estimated by the people who took the initiative to report to the city hall, and the actual number of people will only be more.
Unexpectedly, Dawn City would enter a large city with a population of 100,000 so soon.
Although the migration plan has been facilitated, it is enough to show that Dawn City is a city that many people yearn for. More and more people come here spontaneously to find jobs and live in peace.
Faced with the skyrocketing population, the City Hall can still manage Dawn City well, which also reflects everyone's excellent work ability.
The plenary meeting is not only held in Dawn City, but other town halls will also be held after completing the grain statistics work, and the meeting will be chaired by the general manager of the city hall.
After that, the city hall will collect the contents of the report at the meeting into a book, report it to Dawn City via wireless phone, and then transfer it to Irving.
"Very good, you all have done a good job this year."
After listening to the reports from the ministers of each department, Owen nodded with satisfaction.
"Thank you for your approval." The ministers of each department responded.
"You should have seen it when you come here for the meeting."
Owen continued: "I have recently formulated two new laws to be officially issued at this plenary meeting."
There are so many newly printed books placed in the meeting room against the wall. I am a person who will find them as long as I am not blind.
When Owen mentioned the new law, the staff next to him immediately took action and distributed two new law white papers to the officials present.
During this period, Owen suddenly said, "Don't rush to see the new method first. I have a question here to ask you."
Hearing this, some officials who had already opened the white paper closed the book honestly, turned their heads to look at Owen with the others, and listened with breath.
"Who do you think the Town Hall serves?" Owen raised such a question to everyone.
Who are you serving? Who else can you do?
Everyone had an answer in their minds, but they were a little surprised why Irving asked this question.
"Don't rush to answer."
Owen raised his hand and pressed it down, causing some officials who were about to answer loudly to shut their mouths.
"I'll give you some time to think slowly, you can discuss with each other privately, and then send a representative to answer to me."
Since they were given time to think and discuss, everyone started to talk privately.
After a while, Clive, the head of the city hall, was elected as a representative to answer this question to Irving.
"His Majesty."
Clive stood up and bowed his chest and replied respectfully: "Everyone in our city hall serves you alone and helps you rule the city of Dawn and the whole kingdom."
"Well... I knew you would answer this."
Irving was not surprised by this, and then said with a serious look on his face: "It's a pity, I'm wrong, and it's a big mistake!"
A big mistake?!How could it be?
Not only Clive, but also the officials present looked surprised.
"I'll tell you the real answer now."
Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Owen said slowly: "The purpose of my establishment of a new town hall is not to let you serve me alone, nor to serve those rich factory owners and wealthy businessmen. Regarding the latter, I have actively cracked down on the bribery of officials recently, and I believe that I have clearly told you this."
"The city hall serves the people, and the targets of serving the people are the vast majority of the people. Please remember that it is the people!"
