The Traverser of Marvel World

Chapter 706 Population

The bearded monks who rule Norvos claim that their gods command them from the depths of the temple keep.

Only the most devout believers can enter the temple and live in it.

Needless to say, the so-called most devout believer naturally refers to the bearded monk himself.

In fact, there is also a council of governors in Norvos like other free trade city-states, but its members are still selected by the "god" through monks.

These bearded monks commanded a holy guard of slave soldiers branded with long axes and ritually "married" to their axes.

The sphere of influence of Norvos extends from the west bank of the Undercurrent River in the east, to the Upper Rhoen River in the west, and to the ruins of Na Saxing in the south.

Norvos also claimed the Ax peninsula, but this was opposed by the Iban, and the two sides sometimes went to war for it.

When threatened by the Dothraki, the Norvosians arranged feasts and rich gifts like other free cities and sent them away.

I don't know whether it should be said that I am too lazy to go to war, or I have enjoyed too much and have lost the courage to go to war.

Surprised, because Norvos is not close to Pentos, at least not the nearest free trade city-state.

Ordinarily speaking, with Liu Rui'an's big movement in Pentos, the two free trade cities of Myr and Braavos should be the most worrying.

Especially Myr, if you take the sea route, it is quite close to Pentos.

Not surprised, because Novus is a theocratic city-state.

When it comes to religious belief and dissemination, the problems here will naturally become bigger.

From this point of view, Norvos is behind the great changes in Pantos, no, it is the mastermind behind the scenes, Pope Liu Ruian of the Temple of Light did it, and I am really not surprised.

But is it really that simple? Obviously not!

Even Liu Ruian couldn't get more valuable information from the guy who could control shadow creatures, but he didn't need to think about it, this time the assassination was obviously not just a free trade city-state like Norvos.

For Liu Ruian, the game of war has already been played badly.

However, after getting rid of the person responsible for assassinating him this time, he did not start the war immediately.

It's not that there are scruples, it really doesn't make any sense.

If it was just the beginning, Liu Ruian would definitely lead a powerful army to wipe out all those who dared to resist him.

But after struggling in different worlds for so long, Liu Ruian knew that he wanted to get real benefits, and just playing games like Battle for Hegemony would not be of much use.

After all, to the entire world of A Song of Ice and Fire, I was just a virus cell invaded from the outside world.

It's better if the lurking is deep enough, once the movement is too big, it's not just as simple as pulling eggs.

If it triggers resistance from the origin of the entire world, hehe... Even if there is no danger to life, and it is not impossible to get benefits, the whole process will become quite difficult.

Instead of getting twice the result with half the effort, it is better to draw it slowly according to the experience summed up before.

However, not starting a war does not mean that Liu Ruian will sit back and watch himself being assassinated without any reaction.

No, on the second day after the assassination failed, an army of as many as 2,000 people led a group of civilians with a number of thousands of people and marched towards Ge Duohe in the east of Pentos.

Ge Duohe is a city that has been destroyed.

The city is situated on the banks of the Little Lorne in the Velvet Hills, north of the Flatlands of Essos and east of Pentos.

This place was once the city of the Rhoynar until the Valyrian dragons burned it down.

Although there is only one ruin left in the whole Ge Duohe, the geographical location is quite good.

The Little Lorne River connects the Upper Lorne River, Narn River, Undercurrent River, Laluru River, Lorne River, Saihelu River and other waters, which can be described as extending in all directions.

At the same time Gor Doho was right in the middle of Pentos and Norvoth,

Once it can be occupied, regardless of whether it is from the perspective of economic development or military, it will be of great value.

As for why no one has occupied such a good place, the reason is very simple. The world of A Song of Ice and Fire is really vast and rich in resources to some extent.

Without enough population and strength, how can we occupy more territory?

And even if it is occupied, whether Ge Duohe has the ability to continue to operate is also a big problem.

Fortunately, for Liu Ruian, these were not problems at all.

Among the new policies of Pantos, there is one item that is specifically aimed at the problem of underpopulation, called maternity subsidies.

To describe this new policy in one sentence, the more you have, the more subsidies the Governor's Mansion will give you.

As for the scope of subsidies, in addition to the corresponding money, there are meat stickers, food stickers, cloth stickers, milk stickers, medical stickers, etc., which are quite rich.

To some extent, it can be said that the child you give birth to is basically raised by the government of Pentos.

It is not enough to just raise them up. When a baby reaches a certain age, he will go directly to an official kindergarten to receive basic education.

However, Liu Ruian did not directly copy the education system of primary school, middle school, and university, because the needs of different national conditions are naturally different.

Besides the kindergarten, there is only one official academy.

However, among the knowledge taught by the academy, it is divided into four levels: primary, intermediate, advanced, and bachelor.

Counting the basic education of kindergarten, Pantos' education is divided into five levels in total.

Such favorable conditions are no different from a new way of making money for those common people.

Even if the subsidy is not all money, those various subsidy items are no different from money to ordinary people.

In this case, apart from working and resting, the people living at the bottom of Pantos basically spend the rest of their time on creating humans.

Of course, just like this, it is still not easy to let the population of Pentos multiply in a short time.

After all, this person doesn't want to make something that can be made, and even if it is made, the quality is still unknown.

In order to make those who are willing to enjoy maternity subsidies fulfill their wishes, Liu Ruian also used several methods both openly and covertly.

In addition to drugs that can promote pregnancy and ensure the healthy growth of the fetus, there are also compound vaccines that can immunize most diseases for free.

Among the several new types of food and beverages that are popular among the social classes of Pentos, high, middle and low, all of them more or less contain ingredients that increase energy and promote certain aspects of physiological needs.

Among them, the most "insidious" method is not the sex drug called "Viagra" that is secretly circulated in large quantities.

It is a compound vaccine that is given to people for free!
