"Do you want to reduce the number of personnel? A place as small as Juyang City does not need so many private troops." Liu Yu hesitated for a moment, but still brought it up.

Although the population of Juyang City is growing rapidly, there will always be an end. At most, five or six million people can reach the sky. After receiving the two thousand recruits sent by Jiang Rong, the total strength of Juyang City exceeds seven thousand, including the Jiang family.

There are nearly 10,000 local warriors, and too much military expenditure will cause Juyang City's finances to make ends meet.

"The three thousand people at the outpost were raised by the clan government for me. The remaining six thousand people will not be considered too much if they are divided between two cities."

"Do you want to bring the base..." Liu Yu's eyes flashed.

"Yes, people who like peace and quiet can move to the base, and the base makes people feel safer. As long as we introduce some incentive policies, Juyang City can become a fully commercial city." Ding Kui already had this in his mind.

Planning blueprint.

"Most of the people who like peace and quiet are the original residents. Those who moved later due to commercial development probably don't want to go to the base." Liu Yu was calculating in his mind how many residents in the city would be willing to move to the base.

"No, there will be people who came from the old house and people who defected to the Ding family. The conditions can be relaxed to allow the original residents of the ten towns to move to the base." Ding Kui wanted to mobilize more people to move to the base.

A new city needs enough residents to form a living circle. The place of residence is not the most important. The first condition is that the residents can earn enough living expenses. There are destined to be only a few large families in the city, and most people are engaged in non-agricultural production and can provide non-agricultural jobs.

Seems extremely important.

"The new city of the base must be planned well. My subordinates suggest that it be divided into upper, middle and lower residential areas, with markets and workshops mainly to meet the needs of the city. Among them, all military workshops can be placed in the new city." Liu Yu immediately followed Ding Kui's instructions.

ideas to plan.

"Well, your proposal is very good. The craftsmen and their families in the military workshops and ship repair yards, the families of the soldiers in the private army and outposts, and the families of all the guards will all be arranged to go to the new base city first." Ding Kui calculated with his fingers.

The people mentioned above total tens of thousands.

"Should we call everyone together to discuss it?"

"No need." Ding Kui waved his hand, "Let's plan it like this first. You mainly think about what incentive policies to use to attract more people to move to the new base city. Let's leave various trading houses here in Juyang City."

"Yes, my subordinates, go back and think about it carefully." Liu Yu was slightly surprised. Ding Kui used to listen to everyone's opinions before making a decision. He rarely decided first like this. His leadership style was a bit more arbitrary.

Ding Kui then went to the forbidden area and informed Jiang Tong of his decision. Jiang Tong actually preferred the environment in the swamp. It was also not far from the Tongyuan River and the water element molecules were more active.

"Didn't you say that there are level nine monsters in the swamp?" Shao Dian Luan was the first person to question Ding Kui.

"After killing the Green-bellied Evil Spider King, no more monsters appeared in the base. In the recorded history of the Great Swamp, level nine monsters have never appeared in the middle level. I believe that the risk in the base is not that high." Ding Kui seriously considered it.

get through this problem.

"What about the crossbow training? Didn't you say you want to keep the secret of the crossbow? If so many people move to the base, and there are so many people, don't you make it more difficult for yourself?"

"This is what a mistress looks like." Ding Kui looked at Shao Dian Luan with satisfaction, "Don't worry, I decided to put the training of crossbowmen on Tuofeng Mountain. The crossbowmen trained in the mountains are stronger than those trained on the ground.

The special training camp will also end the swamp training and return to the outpost. From now on, there will only be basic military training at the base."

"Are you moving to the base with us?"

"Of course, the orphanage will also move there, and the Earl's Palace will be located in the new base city from now on."

"But you have to run on both sides, it's so troublesome."

"I plan to set up a 'mayor' position to specifically manage Juyang City, and set up a building in the lord's mansion to work independently. The mayor only needs to be responsible to the lord, and I can be free to do other things."

"Who do you plan to make as mayor? Mr. Liu? Or Ding Chuan?" Shao Diianluan thought the word "mayor" was quite new.

"Ding Chuan is the steward of the Earl's Mansion, so he cannot get involved too much in outside affairs; Mr. Liu is capable but lacks a little prestige, so we have to find a way to help him." Ding Kui didn't have many people to choose from.

"I have an idea." Shao Dianluan winked mischievously and deliberately stopped talking.

Ding Kui glanced at his wife and muttered: "What does a little girl know? Don't cause trouble."

"Hey, there's no need to provoke me. Your tricks won't work with me. If you don't let me cause trouble, I will." Shao Dian Luan picked up the female red girl he just put down and ignored Ding Kui.

"Haha," Ding Kui immediately changed his face to a smile, "Your wise princess, you must have a good way to help your husband, please tell me quickly."

"Hmph, I can teach you, but what's the benefit to me?"

"What do you want? Everything I have is yours." Ding Kui said shamelessly.

"Hey, I can't stand you, no, you must give me a reward yourself!"

"Okay, okay, let's talk and listen first."

"If everyone knows that Madam is pregnant, no matter whether the child is a boy or a girl, he will have to find a teacher to teach him in the future. You, the earl's eldest son or daughter, can be designated as the teacher of Mr. Liu, then

Mr. Liu's prestige can be improved immediately." Shao Dialuan was as proud as a peacock with its tail spread.

"Hey, why didn't I think of it? Is this arrangement too early?" The more Ding Kui thought about it, the more feasible it became.

"It's common for big families to appoint teachers before their children are born. You're not the first and you won't be the last. There's no problem at all."

"Well, yes, it is indeed a good idea! Giving money as a reward is too vulgar. From now on, you will be the one to designate and hire teachers for our children. The Countess has the full say in this matter. You can talk to Liu Yu tomorrow, he

If you agree, we will announce it publicly."

The education of children can be decided by either parent. In most aristocratic families, the title holder makes the decision. It is a reward for Ding Kui to completely delegate power to Shaodian Luan.

Liu Yu was flattered when he heard that the eldest princess mentioned it, and without hesitation he agreed to be the teacher of Ding Kui's direct children. Not long after, Ding Kui announced that Liu Yu would become the first mayor of Juyang City, taking charge of all matters in Juyang City except the Security Bureau and the city defense force.

department, and is only responsible to Ding Kui.

In early April, the mayor of Juyang City announced that the lord planned to build a new residential area and open the sale and exchange of land in this area to all residents of Juyang City. The new area is the large grassland where the 201st Division's training and supply point is located.
