Chapter 868 Jiangta En County

At the beginning of March in the Glorious Year 9764, Weilin returned to Qixing Territory.

After accepting everyone's congratulations, Weilin began to deal with Jiangtaen County.

He ordered his men to fetch Zelia and Zefulin, and Weilin led his guards to Jiangtaen County.

As for the construction of the Qixing Griffin breeding ranch, it would naturally be the responsibility of the general manager Baird.

Jiangtaen County can now be regarded as the poorest county in Qixing Territory. It covers an area of ​​6,500 square kilometers and has a population of more than 60,000. There are 3,000 troops under the command of the governor, and more than 3,000 soldiers from the Seventh Battalion are stationed on the border.

Jiangtan County has six third-level administrative districts, namely Jiangtan City, Donghu Town, Shiteng Town, Nange Town, Mengya Town and Gushu Town.

Among them, Jiangtanen County is the richest third-level administrative district in Jiangtanen County, with a population of 18,437, 89,500 acres of farmland, 43,900 acres of pasture, and 173,300 acres of fruit land. In less than five years, it accounted for 20% of the fruit supply in Qixing County.

Mengya County is the poorest third-level administrative district in Jiangtaen County. It is located on the border, with large areas of land covered by rocky cliffs. It has a population of 4,853 people. The land is barren, and only 18,900 acres of farmland have been reclaimed. Therefore, the main pillar of Mengya Town is quarrying, providing stones for other counties to pave roads, build houses, construct water conservancy projects, create sculptures, etc.

A middle-aged man in gray cloth came up to Weilin, bowed and saluted, and said loudly: "Jiangtarn City Acting Governor Deklis, accompanied by Jiangtarn County officials, pays homage to the Lord."

Behind him, dozens of people bowed and saluted to show their respect.

"Everyone, get up."

Seeing this, everyone stood up and retreated to the sides of the road.

Weilin dismounted, stood on the stone road, looked at the middle-aged man, and asked, "Tell me how many people are there in this small town."

"In reply to your Lordship, Jiangtaen City currently has a permanent population of 2,833 people, mainly the families of soldiers in the standing army, families of towns and villages under Jiangtaen County, and craftsmen and their families."

"Lead the way."

"Yes, my lord."

Following the middle-aged man, Weilin passed through the tall city wall and came into the city. Looking around, all he saw were low houses, with only a few two-story buildings and a bell tower, and no other distinctive buildings.

However, this is normal for this small town with a population of only more than 2,000 people.

Although there are few people, the environment is still clean.

Under the leadership of the acting governor of Jiangtan County, Weilin, Kyle, Zefulin, Zelia and Gabriella gradually got to know this small border town.

Half an hour later, Weilin finished his inspection and came to the City Lord's Mansion of Jiangtaen City.

Weilin came to the main seat and sat down, then motioned for others to sit down.

As for the acting governor of Jiangtan County, Deklis, he stood on the right side of Weilin, waiting for orders.

"Zefflin, what do you think of Jiangtaen City?"

Zefulin stood up, her face serious, and replied in a cold voice: "My Lord, Jiangtaen City is small, but also very clean."

Seeing this, Weilin waved his hand to let him sit down, then looked at Zeliya and asked, "How do you feel?"

"My lord, although Jiangtaen City is small, it has excellent geographical conditions and the people have high expectations for life. In time, this place will surely develop." Zelia stood up and answered.

"Sit down."

"Yes."

Weilin tapped the table with his hand, then turned to look at Kyle.

Kyle understood his master's suggestion and said, "First of all, there is a problem with the urban planning of Jiangtaen City. The disorganized layout will make subsequent construction time-consuming and labor-intensive, and waste materials."

"Secondly, a single resident structure will cause urban development to become rigid. In the long run, rural people will only look forward to moving to the city to become wealthy, and will not be content to develop their local areas."

"Third, there are many idle people in the city, and the extravagant lifestyle is gradually taking shape. If we want to change it in the future, we will only get bloodshed."

After hearing this, Deklis was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and knocked his head on the ground, but he did not dare to say anything and waited for punishment.

Weilin ignored Deklis and looked at Zelia and Zephlin, asking again: "How do you feel about Jiangtaen City now?"

"My Lord, I... this... maybe..."

Zefulin's face turned slightly red, and she didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"It's okay if you can't answer it. I won't blame you. It's normal that you can't see it because you haven't been exposed to these things." Weilin smiled and comforted her.

After thinking for a while, Zelia stood up and replied: "My Lord, Lord Kyle, thank you for your teachings."

Weilin waved his hand, motioning for Zeliya to take a seat, and then began to explain: "You two have the strength and the character, but you are still far behind in experience."

"There are six counties in Jiangtaen County. I plan to let you govern three counties each for a period of ten years. After ten years, I will come to inspect and judge based on economic development, cultural landscape, infrastructure and population size."

"Those who excel will be promoted to governor of Jiangtaen County, plus a mysterious reward."

"The loser will be punished. You don't need to know what it is yet."

“I’ll give you two ten days to go and look around the other five counties in Jiangtaen County.”

"After ten days, come back here and choose the territory you need to govern."

"Yes, Lord Lord."

Zevrin and Zelia bowed and left the hall.

As for Gabriella, she stood up, bowed, and chased after him.

She thought it would be difficult to keep her heart without a lover.

"Declis."

Hearing his name, Deklis stood up, walked to the center of the hall, knelt on the ground again, and said with fear on his face: "My Lord, please punish me."

Weilin glanced at Deklis indifferently and asked, "I remember you were recommended by Andrew."

"Yes, my lord, I used to serve as a sheriff under Lord Andrew. Because of his recommendation, my lady appointed me as the acting governor of this place." De Clis answered truthfully, not daring to hide anything.

"Okay, get up."

Hearing this, Decris stood up cautiously.

"You have made some mistakes, but you have also made some contributions. You are a talent that can be cultivated. Three days later, when Jiangtaen City is chosen by one of the two, you will follow the other person and learn from him."

"Thank you, Lord."

De Clis bowed and saluted, his face showing excitement, thinking that his merits and demerits had offset each other.

"Okay, let's go down."

"Yes, Lord Lord."

After Deklis left, Weilin and Kyle left Jiangtarn City and flew towards the Gray Wasteland.
