Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1753 Deployment Arrangements
This successful uprising by the Russian Republican Party helped them resolve many troubles smoothly.

However, Black Spider has already stated in his report that the members of the Russian Republican Party are generally ignorant and can basically only be used as ordinary laborers.

It's unrealistic to expect them to handle the situation in the Luosha District on their own; we still need to send relevant personnel there.

Faced with this situation, Zhou Xu fell into a brief moment of contemplation, pondering what to do next.

The development of the Rakshasa District will certainly not begin immediately. At this stage, they cannot spare the resources for it. At most, they can only do some simple reorganization on the existing basis and let the area maintain its original mode of operation slowly.

However, the exploitation of internal resources certainly cannot be neglected.

Although the place is not big, the workload is actually quite large.

Inside the Hall of Diligent Governance, Zhou Xu thought for a moment before his gaze fell on Karl.

"Karl, I'm leaving this to you."

As Zhou Xu spoke, he handed the document he had written to Karl, the dwarf assistant.

As an assistant, Karl's promotion from the secretary's office to the Hall of Diligent Governance undoubtedly improved his abilities significantly, but he still lacked practical experience in some areas. For Karl, this was a good opportunity to hone his skills.

Unlike Charman, who had governed the Saint Laurent Empire for many years and was full of practical experience, after the initial adjustment period, he is now working with increasing ease and has fully demonstrated his ability as the empire's governor.

"Wei Chen takes orders!"

Upon receiving the documents, Karl was also delighted to have a new opportunity for training.

"You don't need to come to the Hall of Diligent Governance this afternoon. Go back and prepare to depart as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

After Karl stepped down, Zhou Xu turned around and ordered someone to summon the deputy minister of the State Education Propaganda Department.

As a minister, Joan of Arc had been carrying out missionary work in the Saint Laurent region for the past few years. After several years, the missionary work there had been initially completed, and further progress would depend on the accumulation of time.

Given this premise, it is clear that the Rakshasa region needs Joan of Arc more than the Saint Laurent region.

After arranging the national education propaganda, Zhou Xu turned around and summoned the director of the railway bureau and the minister of finance to begin arranging the extension of the railway along the northeastern border.

Although Zhou Xu has no immediate plans to develop the Luosha region, considering their frontline troops located in the desert region, the benefits that the railway outside the northeastern border could bring if it could be extended to the Luosha region would undoubtedly be enormous.

Upon receiving the message, Song Jinyu, with the intention of performing her special skills for Zhou Xu, arrived at the Hall of Diligent Governance.

Upon hearing that the Kingdom of Smith had submitted and was now part of their Great Zhou's Rakshasa Region, Song Jinyu immediately restrained his actions somewhat...

"Your Majesty, approximately how much more manpower and resources have we gained this time?"

"This is an unexpected situation. Resources haven't been tallied yet, and as for labor..."

As Zhou Xu spoke, he glanced at the population figures on his attribute panel.

His attribute panel does indeed display population figures.

The problem is that he can't just sit around doing nothing and check it every day.

Not to mention that people die and are born every day, so the numbers are constantly changing. Asking him to give a precise answer now would be difficult for Zhou Xu.

I can only give a rough estimate...

"More than two hundred thousand, I guess."

"Oh! Praise be to the Emperor!!"

The population was actually much larger, and many people must have died during this period, but this still greatly excited Song Jinyu. More than 200,000 laborers, plus the resources they could acquire later, would significantly alleviate their financial pressure.

Seeing Song Jinyu's excited expression, Zhou Xu felt a mix of amusement and exasperation, but he didn't forget to give her a heads-up.

"Let me clarify first that this group of people includes the elderly, women, and children; it's not all young adults."

Song Jinyu said that it was not a big problem.

Even if only half of the actual workforce is represented here, it's still a significant number, not to mention that the Rakshasa District likely has considerable resources.

In fact, what Zhou Xu didn't know was that there were definitely many women and children in this group, but almost no elderly people.

Given the living conditions in the original Kingdom of Smith, slaves suffered from chronic malnutrition, and as they got a little older, they would die easily from any accident. How could they possibly live to old age?
Even if there were a few who lived long lives, once they were no longer able to work or their value could not keep up with the cost, the slave owners would simply kill them; there was no possibility of them dying of old age.

In any case, after this wave of profits, laying the railway will be much easier.

After a brief discussion, the two sides quickly finalized some preliminary funding and labor arrangements.

During this process, Yarvit successfully arrived at Oasis Outpost No. 3.

On my first day here, I didn't rest. I immediately hired a Giant Eagle Knight to lead the way, intending to check out that area first.

The perception ability of a Vajra Realm martial artist is ultimately not on the same level as that of a Vertical and Horizontal Realm martial artist.

In addition, since Yarvit had confirmed the news in advance and knew that there was a problem there, she was also on high alert and using her senses throughout the process.

As expected, as soon as they approached the outer perimeter, Yarvit sensed something amiss. She then raised her hand, signaling the giant eagle knight leading the way not to come any closer.

Maintaining her current position, Yarvit confirmed her location after further sensing.

"There are restrictions."

She could feel that her perception was being distorted by an invisible force.

The person who set up this restriction made specific arrangements to prevent others from discovering it.

"Has there been absolutely no news or activity all these past few months?"

"No."

"Go back to camp."

Back at the oasis camp, Yarvit told Li Ce about it directly.

"That restriction is not simple. Entering it rashly is too risky. Since the other party has no intention of coming out and has not done anything to harm us, we should not act rashly. Just keep an eye on them. I will stay here for the next period of time, just in case."

Jarvitt's arrival essentially brought things to a temporary close.

Over the next period of time, the staff of Da Zhou successfully entered the Rakshasa District, took over the work there, and restored order.

During this period, new garrison troops were also stationed on the border of the Rakshasa region.

It's the Boar Riders led by Vol'jin!
"Wow, this place is pretty good."

Looking up at the towering cliffs, Wojnarowski marveled.

With the internal territory unified, some garrison troops will naturally need to be deployed outwards.

In Zhou Xu's view, the most suitable people to garrison this formidable defensive line are the dwarves!
