The Witcher: Rise of the Dead

Chapter 200 Financial Issues
In the town center of Basil town.

At this time, the sun is shining brightly, giving this wet world a little warmth.

At this time, the temperature was only about ten degrees, and some people even started to put on long trousers and long sleeves.

When people finished drying their things, they suddenly saw a group of men and women in military uniforms walking from outside the city, shouting as they walked.

"Everyone in Bazhir Town, good afternoon!"

"We are the announcement team of the Death Knights."

Naming each unit is also one of the military reforms this time.

Outside Basil Town, this army led by Wilkin was named after his professional knight.

So it changed suddenly and became the Death Knight Army.

"Come to announce the new policy benefits for joining the army."

"As long as you join the army, everyone will get an acre of land for free!"

"As long as you are still in the army, this acre of land will always be yours."

"And after joining the army and doing meritorious service, there is still a priority quota for using necromancer transformation."

"It's good to join the army, it's wonderful to join the army"

"Joining the army is the best way out."

With the departure of the publicity team, the voice became smaller and smaller.

But in people's eyes, there was a look of excitement.

You must know that Bazhier Town was set on fire by the Giant Snake Tower, but many people were burned to death.

There are not many surviving people in the whole town, only about 2000 people, so after everyone came back from the sad days, they found that their lives were better.

After all, with fewer people and more land, the income will naturally increase.

In addition, Thanos did not set heavy miscellaneous taxes, everyone can get the fruits of their own labor, life will be better.

So when Wilkin recruited people to join the army in the past, the effect was not very good, or even very few.

Everyone is living well, and no one wants to continue to fight and kill, with their heads pinned to their waistbands.

Coupled with the fact that so many people died some time ago, the shadow of the war still remains in everyone's hearts.

But this time, something seems to be different.

After a while, residents in twos and threes got together.

"Can you get an acre of land? Is it true?"

"I don't know, but it's probably true."

"Maybe, who knows if these people are liars."

"It shouldn't lie to people. The administrator this time is very nice. There are no miscellaneous taxes, and he won't bully people."

"Why don't you ask the administrator?"

"Yes, ask Administrator Marko."

After a while, the skeptical people came to the administration building.

And here, many people have gathered.

Most of them are people with poor living conditions, or people who want to fight for the future.

As for those rich people, of course they would not come here to join the army.

Even if they want to join the army, they still go to college, and then take the route of studying military affairs and becoming an officer.

When the number of people reached hundreds, the people in the administrative building couldn't sit still and began to explain.

For example, new reform measures, military merit system and so on.

Those who knew the news were naturally moved.

After all, military merits can be used to honor the ancestors, military merits can gain land, military merits can obtain extraordinary power, and military merits can become an officer.

"How do I sign up!"

"Yes, I want to sign up!"

"I want to sign up too!"

What happened in Bazhir Town also happened in other small towns.

Needless to say, Zixi Town, as the birthplace of Thanos, the number of people signing up for the army here has never been less.

The hearts of the people in Menghua Town are also on Thanos, so there are quite a few people who signed up.

However, because there are foreigners in Tirami Town and Sloan Town, the effect is mediocre.

After all, the Golem and the Kobold never plowed the land, they lived by hunting and robbing.

What to do with an acre of land.

As for the conversion of the dead, they don't need it anymore.

Because the concept of the aborigines is still in the feudal society, the soul of a person after death should be attributed to the gods, how could it be possible to become a dead spirit?

And with this military reform, most of all school-age youths have to sign up.

However, although the benefits of joining the army are good, the conditions have naturally increased.

Those over the age of 32 do not, and those under the age do not.

No one shorter than 1.7 meters, no one under 120 catties, no tattoos, etc.

And after becoming a soldier, the training became even harder.

They carry [-] kilograms of weight every day, run [-] kilometers, train formation coordination for more than four hours, and so on.

There is also the need to get up at six in the morning, and there are even surprise inspections at any time. Soldiers must learn to master swords, spears, shields, and so on.

In addition to new recruits, those who were previously unqualified must also be eliminated.

In the past, due to the needs of the war, it was inevitable that the conditions for recruitment would be relaxed, and the training would be less.

But after this reform, those who are not qualified or have defects all leave with severance pay.

And some people with military merits, if they choose to stay in the army, they will be assigned to the logistics force.

It can be said that this reform is vigorous, and the quality and combat effectiveness of human soldiers began to catch up with the undead troops.

Although he hasn't actually fought yet, his morale and stamina have slowly approached.

In the laboratory of Menghua Town.

This time Thanos rarely did not conduct research, but began to listen to Sara's report on the first floor.

"My lord, we currently have five small towns, namely Menghua Town, Zixi Town, Sloan Town, Tirami Town and Bazhier Town.

There are [-] people, [-] people, [-] people, [-] people, and [-] people.

There are about [-] people in total.

At the same time, each town has a psychic tower, two skeleton factories, a zombie factory, a ghoul factory, and a general factory.

At present, our grain reserves are only about 100 tons, which is already in danger.

Our steel production is about one ton per day, and the steel reserve is [-] tons, which is still on the safe line.

Last month's tax was 420 seven gold and 56 silver.

Trade income is 730 four gold, 61 silver

The military expenditure is 970 six gold and 89 silver.

Administrative expenses are two hundred and seven gold and nineteen silver.

There are also road maintenance, wharf construction, school construction, teacher expenses, etc. Miscellaneous expenses total 310 seven gold and 26 silver.

The revenue and expenditure deficit was 330 nine gold and seventeen silver.

Now there is a military reform, and it is expected that the military expenditure will increase by more than [-] gold coins next month.

The current financial gold coin reserve is 51 gold and [-] silver, which is below the danger line.

The report is complete. "

After speaking, Sarah looked at Thanos with twinkling eyes.

It seems to say that if the financial problems are not resolved, you will go bankrupt next month.

After Thanos heard this, he immediately rubbed his temples with a headache.

In fact, he also knew the problem.

It's just that military spending is too high.

After all, the population under his rule is only a little over 8000, which is the result of the continuous recruitment of refugees.

But this few people have to feed nearly five thousand soldiers.

Basically, three people have to support one soldier, which is an unprecedented ratio.

But he can't do it.

After all, the Proworld is full of crises, how can we face the attacks of the natives without force.

For example, last time in Sloan Town, if there were not a thousand soldiers and a thousand undead, it is estimated that they would not be able to wait for their own support.

Therefore, the army cannot be reduced, only increased.

It seems that the only way to increase trade with frogmen, trolls and Biyou City.

At this moment, Sara suddenly said: "My lord, I have a solution, which may be able to postpone the financial problem."
