Chapter 1276: 1276
Roland took out a piece of paper from his desk and roughly estimated the average age of the residents in the urban area and the temporary residential area . He then concluded that the average age of Neverwinter residents were between 40 and 50, while that of the latter was around 35 . He could already tell many problems from these numbers .
Generally speaking, it took a long time to increase men's lifespan . Apparently, the life in Border Town in the beginning should be no better than the refugees' . However, in just five years, the lifespan of the local residents had increased significantly, to which Nana and Lily made a great contribution .
"We've collected data of 1,000 people within just two days . I don't think Momo looked at each individual one by one, did she?" Roland asked .
"No . If she has sufficient power, she can see the numbers of all the people in that area," Wendy replied quietly . "But she hasn't done that before, neither does she know her limit . She thinks that her ability is like a curse . She can see when they're going to die but can't do anything about it . "
"Like she's watching people around her die," Nightingale commented after a sigh .
Roland, however, thought it totally wrong . This was definitely not a curse or a misfortune! When the development of a country reached a certain level, every single policy could exert a profound influence on the nation . Roland certainly had to abandon that outdated management style, and that was the reason statistics was so important .
Every modern organization should develop a well-functioning system to collect, observe and track the data change and make adjustments to their policies accordingly . A statistical analysis of the residents' average lifespan was an indispensable step in this process .
It would normally take several decades to found such a well-organized department and recruit enough employees to conduct the survey without Momo's ability, for people would never know how long a man could live after he was deceased .
Currently, except for Neverwinter, the other cities in Graycastle only had a secondary city hall to execute orders, and they were always short staffed . It was, therefore, almost impossible for them to conduct the census in the communities .
In fact, the establishment of such a complete information system was largely attributed to Scroll's hardwork . Only when they could delegate literate people to grass root organizations such as local communities could they say that a fully-developed government had been established .
Momo's ability, however, could help Roland skip all the preparation work and develop a national statistical system right away from scratch, even though she only knew a little about her ability at the moment .
Once Wendy figured out what those different colors indicated, possibly hunger, disease, environment, etc . , he could then easily build a huge database that predicted the future trend of the population . With proper management, Roland believed that the kingdom would benefit a lot from Momo's ability .
Those nobles in the Kingdom of Wolfheart never knew what they had missed .
Roland had already viewed Momo as an honorous clerk of the Administrative Office, and she could possibly become a minister in the future .
"By the way, did you get Nana's treating schedule?" Roland asked as he closed the report .
