Aslan stopped everyone from talking, looked at Artoria and asked.
Arturia nodded and said: "Those are the refugees who fled from the war border between the Ten Parties Alliance and the Kingdom of Cleveland. Because several other regions are still repairing the wounds of the war, they have no time to worry about these war refugees for the time being, so they use the excuse of replenishing the territory's population.
Sent to us."
Aslan frowned slightly, and suddenly his eyes lit up. Since war refugees had begun to appear, he could also ask the Tianping Chamber of Commerce to receive news of willing war refugees from the Spread Mero area on the border between the two sides.
After all, the next development, whether it is factories or farms, will require a large number of people.
No matter what era, population is GDP and tax revenue.
As for other areas, they are just not ready. After sending these refugees, they probably have already started preparing for resettlement.
"No wonder Masulu and Watini are working hard to build farms, probably to prepare for future war refugees." Aslan murmured in a low voice.
"Lord! How should we arrange these people next?" Wilson, who finally arrived, asked breathlessly.
Essien quickly added: "Yes! Lord, it is not an option to continue like this. With such a large number of refugees staying outside Mero City, there are too many unstable factors."
Aslan nodded and waved his hand.
"Throw them all directly into the labor camp."
Wilson suddenly became anxious and said quickly: "Lord! These refugees have not committed any crime!"
Aslan rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Is it necessarily a crime to go to a labor camp? They all settle there to work. They don't need to work as frequently as in a labor camp. They are then slowly selected and only those with good performance and clean family backgrounds are selected.
, all people who are interested in settling in Mero City can be transferred out."
Wilson and Essien understood instantly.
It's hard to leave their hometown. Now it's because of the war that they have no choice but to leave their hometown. If they are resettled now and sneak back home once the war is over, wouldn't their work be in vain?
As for the innocence of the family, that is just to prevent spies from surrounding forces from infiltrating.
Anyway, Aslan had built more than a dozen large-scale labor camps, each covering an area of more than 200,000 acres, which was enough land to accommodate these refugees.
As for the original reform-through-labor prisoners, in addition to criminals, they are war prisoners. As long as they behave well, they still have a chance to become people in the Mero area. As for those who are stubborn and stubborn, they can only stay in the labor camp until death. As for those who dare to stay on the farm
If you act like a bully, you'll be killed immediately.
While Aslan and Wilson were talking about the labor camp, they carefully asked about the expansion of the army.
"What's the matter?"
Upon hearing Aslan's question, Wilson and Essien laughed at the same time.
"What other reason is there? Next month is the day when the first batch of students from the Swordsman Academy and the Magic Academy will graduate."
Will Xin's words made Aslan understand instantly.
At the beginning, he invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the two colleges. Students who could enter the two colleges, in addition to their parents having money to send them to study, also took in many extremely talented students. As long as these students could complete the courses and training tasks on time,
, not only tuition fees are waived, but food and accommodation are also free. Students with outstanding performance can also receive scholarship subsidies.
Under the multiple rewards, the students studying in the two colleges worked hard to practice and study. In just half a year, hundreds of junior swordsmen and more than 50 junior magicians were born.
As soon as this news was released, it immediately caused a frenzy of looting from the various legions of the Merlot Army. However, the students had not yet graduated before they were suppressed by Wilson and Essien. This is why as soon as Aslan came back, the commanders of each legion rushed to
Those who come here to apply for military expansion are all prepared for students from these colleges.
Aslan immediately started laughing too.
The Swordsman Academy and the Magic Academy broke the previous nobility's monopoly on knowledge, allowing civilians to learn systematic fighting spirit and magic. This made Gude's fighting spirit, which was all developed through exploration, more suitable for them to practice, and the speed of practice was also faster.
Although the talents for both are very high, don't forget the huge population base.
Only one person out of ten people can awaken the fighting spirit. This is the fighting spirit that is not cultivated. If there is systematic practice, at least five or six people out of ten people can cultivate fighting spirit.
As for magicians, it is true that talent is more important, but one or two will definitely be born among dozens of people. The real reason why there are so few professionals in Xinuo Continent is the monopoly of knowledge by the nobles, which creates this situation.
There is only one purpose, to ensure the absolute power of the ruling class.
As for whether Aslan will be overthrown by his own people in the future, there is no need to worry too much about this.
He only needs to ensure absolute high-level strength, and with the development of science and technology, weapons are becoming more and more advanced, and ordinary middle and low-level professionals cannot fight against them.
As long as these national powers are mastered, the country will still be Aslan's final decision, and it will also be able to set a good example for Aslan to serve the country and the people.
Looking at the way back to the city lord's palace, I don't know how many people saluted him, especially the students from major colleges. After seeing Aslan, they all showed enthusiastic eyes and saluted Aslan.
After all, Aslan also guest-starred as the principal of all colleges and universities in Merlo City.
The so-called higher academy, in addition to the Swordsman Academy and the Magic Academy, also has a high school. As for the university, it does not exist yet because conditions do not allow it.
Nowadays, high school courses are still being improved, and there are very few students who can complete high school courses. Moreover, the university is positioned as a cultural palace by Aslan and is a place to train students in batches for the future. Now the entire Melo region is still in a state of literacy, and the first batch of students
They are all quite old, and it is difficult for them to take high school courses, let alone college courses.
Aslan has already set his sights on current primary school students and estimates that the first batch of college students will be born from them.
"These people are the future of the Melo region. No matter how hard life is, we cannot make it difficult for the children's education." Aslan said firmly.
Wilson and Essien were in awe, this was the great lord in their minds.
As for how hard life was, Wilson and Essien simply ignored it.
It is no exaggeration to say that Merlo City is now the richest era in history. The continuous construction of granaries behind the city lord's palace is enough to prove that they are rich. Nearly a hundred thousand-ton warehouses have been built, and they are still unable to
To satisfy the continuous flow of food, next month will be the day of harvest of bud fruit.
For the first time, they have to worry about whether the food will spoil if they don't finish it.
