Sean originally wanted to sign a confidentiality agreement with Bart Stormpike about making muskets, but after thinking about it he didn't mention it.
After all, the dwarves have no idea about muskets. Signing a confidentiality agreement now will only arouse the dwarves' vigilance and attract unnecessary attention.
So it’s better to wait until the dwarves leave Hetan Town before signing the agreement!
The matter of the muskets was almost talked about, Sean handed over the task of making the muskets to Lucy, and then left the mill with Windsor, Anduin, White Bronzebeard.
...
After leaving the mill, Sean felt the bright spring light outside and stretched out comfortably:
"Anduin, now I am going to take Windsor, Thor and Dalia Bladesong to level up, and I will leave all the affairs of the town to you! Remember what I said at the meeting last night, 'Five workers in four directions'
', just follow the plan and do it carefully!"
"Okay... okay, sir."
When Anduin mentioned the word "Four Directions and Five Workers", he immediately thought of last night's high-intensity meeting and the hard-earned notes, and suddenly felt a little headache.
"Then let's go first. Goodbye! Anduin!" Sean and Windsor waved goodbye to Anduin.
"Goodbye, my lord! Goodbye, Windsor!"
Anduin watched Shaun and Windsor walk towards the castle.
...
After Sean left, Anduin took White Bronzebeard and walked towards the administrative hall in the center of the town.
White Bronzebeard didn't dare to speak just now. After seeing Sean and the two walking away, he pulled Anduin's clothes and asked:
"Lord Anduin, what are the 'four squares and five crafts' you are talking about? A square centipede?"
"No." Anduin smiled gently:
"The 'Four Directions and Five Projects' is the construction plan for Hetan Town proposed by your Excellency last night for the next year. The specific meaning is 'four key directions and five key projects'."
Although White Bronzebeard didn’t quite understand what he heard, he still thought it was very powerful:
"Lord Anduin, what are these key directions and projects?"
Anduin answered as he walked:
"The four key directions, in order of importance, are population, army, food, and education; the five key projects are gunpowder, papermaking, soap, cement, and waterwheels."
Hearing this, White Bronzebeard couldn't help scratching his head:
"It sounds very complicated!"
Anduin smiled bitterly:
"There are more complications! This is just a one-year plan. Your Excellency has even made a five-year plan for Hetan Town, and even a ten-year plan has taken shape! White, do you want to take a look?"
White Bronzebeard suddenly shuddered and hurriedly covered it up with laughter:
"Haha! Let the adults and lords take care of these important matters. We dwarves are not very intelligent, so even if we look at them, it will be of no use.
Forget it, I’ll go teach those gangsters on the street a lesson, it’s time to let them have a taste of the dwarf’s iron fist!”
White Bronzebeard ran away as he spoke.
But just after running a few steps, White Bronzebeard saw a man not far ahead who actually put his hand into a woman's clothes, and his eyes suddenly froze.
You dare to steal things in front of Lord Bronzebeard? Are you tired of living?!
So White Bronzebeard stepped forward and sent the man flying with an uppercut.
At the same time, he saluted the lady very gentlemanly: "This damn thief! Madam, are you okay?"
The lady was stunned and stood there blankly without speaking.
After being stunned for a while, she finally came to her senses and asked Bart Stormpike angrily:
"Why did you hit my husband?"
After saying that, she ran towards the place where the man fell to the ground: "Honey, are you okay? Are you injured?"
Bart Stormpike: "..."
...
Seeing that Bart Stormpike had made a big mistake, Anduin felt that his headache was getting worse.
So Anduin shook his head and continued to walk towards the administrative hall with full of thoughts.
…
But just after taking two steps, Anduin suddenly heard a loud "bang" from behind him!
Anduin quickly looked back.
A thick thunderbolt suddenly appeared in the originally clear sky. The lightning flashed across the sky and struck vertically on the roof of Constantinople.
But in addition to thunder and lightning, Anduin also saw a human figure. This figure was the human being disguised as Thor!
At this time, the God of Thunder stood on the roof of the castle and caught and absorbed the lightning. The lightning all over his body became more and more dazzling, and his figure also grew dramatically.
In the past, Thor was only 1.7 meters tall after disguising himself as a human, but now he has rapidly expanded to 2 meters.
Seeing the God of Thunder absorbing thunder and lightning, Anduin was startled for a moment, but he immediately reacted.
During the meeting last night, Thor mentioned that he had figured out a way to absorb the power of lightning and temper his body. It seems that he started to practice it today.
...
Seeing the figure of Thor standing on the castle, Anduin felt a little envious.
Putting aside the incompetent Kavitz Lodian, Khadgar and Thor have all learned new abilities, and even Windsor has gained lightning resistance and is immune to low-level lightning spells.
However, he has been busy with official duties all day long and has hardly fought or practiced. He has not yet realized a single ability, which seems to be holding him back.
Anduin sighed and walked towards the administrative hall with a heavy heart.
...
Not long after, Anduin arrived at the administrative hall.
As he walked into the hall, the guards and some officials on both sides saluted Anduin:
"Good morning! Dear Lord Anduin!"
Anduin nodded to them, then walked into his office, braced himself and started handling today's government affairs.
Ten minutes later, a middle-aged man with slightly gray temples and glasses knocked on the door and walked into Anduin's office.
This middle-aged man's name is Conte, a scholar in the town. He used to make a living mainly by farming and writing letters to the townspeople.
Anduin discovered that he could write and knew some rough arithmetic, so he quickly invited him to work for the government.
Now Conte has become Anduin's assistant, mainly helping Anduin run errands and writing some copywriting part-time.
After Conte saw Anduin, he said happily:
"Lord Anduin, after a week of hard work, the census results in Riverbank Town are finally here!
As of yesterday, the total population of Hetan Town was 2,231, with a total of 560 households. About 20-30 former Hetan Town residents come back from outside every day."
"More than 2,000 people have been counting for a week, and the efficiency is really good!"
It's hard to tell whether Anduin's words were mocking or admiring.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Many residents can't count from one to ten, which has caused great resistance to the statistical work." Conte said sheepishly.
"Okay!" Anduin waved his hand, "Save the specific statistical data in the file.
Chapter completed!
