king of ros

Chapter 263 Greek Bureaucracy
The news that Rostislav will send troops to Bulgar at the end of next year is like the wind, spreading throughout the city.

And with Moscow as the center, it continues to spread outward in waves, and then the waves become bigger and bigger.

Rostislav's fanfare in the theater did have the effect he wanted, and the effect was very good. The news that the prince would send troops to Bulgar next year spread like a rocket.

People were talking about it, and the battlefield became the theme song for people chatting.

Moreover, the public is extremely optimistic about Rostislav's conquest. In their view, no one can resist the princes of Moscow sending troops, and their princes will definitely lead everyone to that great victory.

Many people began to plan to follow the prince to send troops, and some even started to buy weapons and armor at the stalls of the blacksmith guild, but most of them were not in a hurry, after all, it was still far away from the army's attack.

But what they didn't expect was that Weicher soon came to convey the order from the Red City, which was to order the middle-aged men among the citizens to report immediately with weapons.

The citizens were a little surprised by this, but they didn't reject it. After all, the Rostislav war was impossible to fail, and coercion is coercion. Is there anyone who is unwilling to lead everyone to get rich?
And people from the countryside returned to their hometown one after another to mobilize the folks in their hometown to join the conquest. After all, it is better to bring a few more people to make a fortune.

Even the topic of conversation in the Moscow market has changed. Everyone is talking about the price while talking about the war. Everyone is discussing the future war enthusiastically. What is said is extremely strong confidence in the prince and victory. Undoubtedly confirmed.

As for the veterans in the city who had to leave the battlefield for various reasons, they suddenly found that many people came to them, asking these veterans to teach them some skills to survive on the battlefield.

And when the news spread, it turned out that the entire Northeast Ross was discussing this matter. In the vast land of the Forest Queen, no matter what everyone's attitude towards the princely regime in Moscow, there is one thing that is true. uniform.

That is confidence in Rostislav's military ability, confidence in his leading everyone to wealth and glory.

Many people in the village began to prepare. They either pulled out the weapons and armor from the bottom of the box and began to repair them, or asked their relatives to weave armor for themselves.

As soon as the autumn farm work is over, everyone will carry these things to Moscow and join the prince's army.

Of course, for things like war, it is impossible for everyone to have such strong expectations, and some people are full of sorrow, but this sorrow is not necessarily all because of the war.

"Lord Rostislav is really, he didn't inform us in advance, and suddenly assigned such a heavy task... That's all, it will be a matter of time anyway."

An angry voice came from the room at the end, and the clerks lowered their heads and continued to work, as if they didn't hear the voice.

They are no better than the officer who yelled, his seniority is enough for him to complain to the prince like this.

Although there are not so many taboos in Ross's tradition, identity and status are still needed to complain to the ruler in this way.

Moreover, the work in hand is still very busy. Recently, the prince ordered to sort out the recruitable population in Moscow.

And their job is to sort out and classify the collected soldiers' names, statuses, and family situations.

These soldiers are basically citizens of Moscow. They have a stable industry in Moscow. They are also the backbone of the princes' conscripts and the backbone of the battlefield. They are relatively good in weapons and armor.

It's just that Rostislav has never made detailed statistics on this group, so taking this opportunity, Rostislav intends to make statistics on it.

And take this opportunity to complete the statistics of Moscow's population and establish a household registration system in the city.

In this regard, Moscow has been in a state of laissez-faire over the years, after all, the city is still developing rapidly.

Moreover, the construction of all aspects is still in the initial stage. Too clear information in this area is not only a waste of manpower, but also meaningless.

But now, after six full years of development, Moscow is very different from before.

This city is already the center of Northeast Ross in the actual sense, attracting the population of the entire Northeast Ross and even nearby areas.

The city is now like a magnet attracting everything around it, and countless people want to become its residents.

However, Rostislav realized that the city could no longer be allowed to grow barbarously, and the statistics on it must be completed before everything became more and more chaotic.

Due to being busy with various things, Rostislav has not been able to seize the opportunity.

And now, with next year's expedition, the prince of Moscow is going to conduct a large-scale statistic of the city.

The prince's order was issued, but the executive department below was crying.

It is not an easy task to fulfill Rostislav's order, because Moscow is a city with tens of thousands of permanent residents and thousands of floating population.

In Moscow, there are only more than 200 bureaucrats, and less than [-] people are responsible for paperwork in the city. It is enough to record these things, let alone identify the types of residents.

Moreover, these people have to do all kinds of daily work in the city, and they have very little time to spend on these things.

That's why Leo complained. Recently, he has been extremely busy because of the prince's declaration, but now he is given such a big job, which is really a headache.

Moreover, the increase in work has also increased the internal conflicts among civil servants. The Ross faction is mostly low-level officials, while the Greek faction is full of middle and high-level officials. The higher-ups assign tasks. These people can only add burdens to the lower levels and let them collect them as soon as possible. The data is well organized.

In this regard, the Ross faction believes that this is the squeeze of the Greek party. In their view, the Greeks sitting in the building are deliberately squeezing them like this.

And their attitude has also affected those Vecher staff who accompany these civil servants, why are you sitting in the office.

Therefore, the contradiction was magnified for a while, and Leo was very troubled by this, which was very damaging to work efficiency.

Facing Leo's roar, the clerks below stood there respectfully, not daring to say a word, how could they have the guts to speak up about these things.

Leo watched these guys flinch, and suddenly felt a burst of anger coming from nowhere.

"Get out, all go to your work, I want to see the result as soon as possible!"

In the end, the administrative officials in Moscow just said these words feebly, and those clerks left as if they were pardoned.

Seeing those guys running past like an amnesty, Leo suddenly felt a little funny about this matter.

But then he didn't laugh anymore, and he also knew that some things that seemed insignificant were indeed very important to them.

After subduing that smile, Leo couldn't help thinking about the current situation.

In fact, the previous words of the old Greek bureaucrat were not because he thought the work was difficult and difficult to complete. He was an old bureaucrat in the imperial capital, and a district of that big city had a population much larger than that of Moscow.

I don't know how many of the jobs he is engaged in are more serious than this, but he has not survived all of them. During the years of being suppressed, all kinds of overweight jobs were commonplace.

It was more because of a kind of uneasiness, a kind of uneasiness about the various behaviors of the current Muscovite princes. This was a declaration of war and a household registration, which gave him a sense of haste and urgency.

And this kind of feeling, he really doesn't think it's a good thing. Leo is a person who has seen many things. Totally screwed up.

It's just that Leo is very powerless about these things, he can only sigh and pray in his heart that all this is superfluous.
