Chapter 458 City Hall

After entering the main building in the middle, it is the main hall of the church. The main hall is full of people, but the host is not a priest, but a young scholar.

The scholar is holding a meeting with community leaders, rich households, knights, local scholars, priests, etc. They are talking about this year's farming, and talking about techniques and work such as "fertilization", "irrigation", and "farming".

This is related to the harvest of each household's fields next year, and also to what the nobles, priests, and scholars will eat next year, so everyone listened very carefully. Among them, those who can read also recorded everything.

The tasks were gradually distributed in this way. After the scholars learned, they were responsible for guiding the details, the knights and nobles were responsible for coordinating resources, and the priests were responsible for guidance and supervision.

After Wendell and others came in, a priest asked them to wait in the main hall for a while. Not long after, a small man with a leather hood and dressed very neatly came from the back hall.

"Go quickly, Wendel, the boss is waiting for you." The little man said, "I won't accompany you, I'm going to feed the boss's horse."

Benjamin looked at the little man and heard the "boss" he mentioned, and suddenly trembled all over. Then he was taken to a room upstairs by everyone in that wooden state.

The upstairs of the church has become the temporary administrative center of the town. There are many people walking around in the corridor, going in and out of various offices.

This church is actually no longer a church, but a city hall. All the people in charge here believe in dawn.

Under the guidance of these people, the seven gods have gradually become a spiritual symbol. What is more important is the meaning of the seven gods, not the gods themselves-this is the meaning of dawn.

In this subtle influence, the local priests have unknowingly walked towards the road of dawn.

The crowd did not stay near these offices and walked towards the innermost room.

Originally, the innermost room was where the local bishop stayed. The most frequent visitors to this room were nuns and noble ladies who came to "pray". But after the bishop was imprisoned in the "Inquisition" under the church, this place has become deserted.

Wendell occupied the luxurious room and designated it as his office, but he gave it up again in the past two days.

There were fewer and fewer people in the corridor. The door of the room at the end was open, and several tall and mighty dawn knights were guarding in front of the door.

Inside the open door was an outer room that was neither big nor small. The outer room was like a small living room, connecting the inner room and several side rooms.

After entering the outer room, Benjamin suddenly found that the outer room and the several rooms connected to it had changed. Not only were there many office chairs, but each seat had a lot of copywriters and people handling matters.

Even the original bishop's bedroom was partitioned to reduce the space, and every space in the entire room was used. It has become an office area.

Wendell took everyone to rest on the sofa where they were waiting, and found that not far away from the next door, there were also old Jim's entourage waiting here.

A young priest who was processing things at the desk poured a pot of tea for them after seeing the group of people coming in.

Benjamin looked at the young priest and felt very familiar. He suddenly realized that he was actually 'Carey'.

"Lord Wendell and Earl Benjamin (seemed to recognize him), the Lord is discussing things with Mayor Jim in the house, please wait a moment." After Carey finished speaking, he returned to his seat and got busy, and then went outside with the meeting minutes sorted out today.

There were people coming in and out of the outer room, but it was a little quiet inside. In this silence, Earl Benjamin's mind was complicated and cold sweat was running down. He looked at the dawn knights at the door from time to time, and he didn't know what he was thinking about. Wendell took this time to stand in front of the floor mirror to comb his appearance, and then picked up the copy brought by the secretary and read it carefully.

Soon, he came out of the back room with a walking stick. After nodding to Wendel, he hurriedly left with his entourage.

At this time, Wendel hurriedly led people into the inner room. After opening the door, Count Benjamin found that there were several desks and several priests dressed as civil servants in the inner room.

On the desk at the head, there were all kinds of maps, documents, and scrolls. An unheld pen was writing something on an ancient holy book on the table. The person sitting on the seat was holding a cup of tea, standing in front of the open window, looking at the fields outside.

After seeing Wendel and others come in, George turned around and smiled. After arranging them to sit down, he listened to the latest report on the city. No mention was made of anything about Benjamin. This made Benjamin a little fidgety. He could only sit on the chair with half his butt like an outsider and listen to their conversation.

The city's politics and people's livelihood have just stabilized in the past few days, and construction matters have just begun in the past few days.

After sorting out the situation, Wendell, Old Jim and others found that although there were many rivers in this territory, there were no water wheels or canals. In previous years, farmland had never been irrigated and relied entirely on the weather.

This winter, there was so much snow and wind, there would definitely be a severe drought after the spring!

Moreover, according to the research of the wizards, the sudden disappearance of the locust plague last year was mainly because the land by the river and the saline-alkali land was plowed several times by farmers, causing a large number of insect eggs to die in the rain. However, there may not be rain this year, so water trucks, canals, irrigation and land reclamation must be the main work content this year.

Wendel's team has sorted out related plans in the past two days, so today's report is the first topic.

Benjamin was extremely shocked when he heard the perfect plans and reports from Wendell. He discovered that this guy had an extremely detailed understanding of this territory in just ten days, so The various problems mentioned were of which he had never been aware, the solutions proposed were well-founded and to the point, and the plans made were also extremely complete.

After the report, George read the plan for a while, and then read the policies related to those plans.

After seeing George nod slightly, Wendell's anxious mood relaxed slightly.

This is already the third edition.

"This plan is close to reality, and the relevant policies have been revised well. Wendell, you have to remember that we alone cannot organize it. We must find ways to mobilize the enthusiasm of the residents, and positivity can never be achieved alone. Beliefs and ideas must be linked to the interests of the residents themselves - otherwise, even if they know the stakes, they may not be able to implement it, and implementing it with positivity is far more efficient than being driven passively. Some."

After speaking, George put down the documents and picked up the second set.

This is about farming.

While reading, George occasionally asked some questions, and Wendell, who was prepared, explained some things on the document.

Wendel, a serf who was born and raised in the valley, originally thought that the farming technology in the south would be more advanced - after all, many ideas were taught by the great lord. Your Excellency has studied in Elda.

However, he unexpectedly discovered that the farming here is actually extremely primitive. Just because of the climate, wheat here can be grown for two seasons. And because there are more plains and more cattle and horses, many farmers' farming is not as crude as in the valleys, but a little more detailed.

But that’s about it.

Many people also plan to harvest the winter wheat they planted last year in June
