Names, identities, family backgrounds, questions like this are expected. But what Rody said later made Karen a little confused, "I think you are quite talented in management. If I remember correctly, you did not entrust all the assets and operation methods in the family to the steward, but carried out the management yourself. A bunch of improvements and refinements, right?'
Karen was a little dumbfounded when he asked this question. He did seize the management right of the territory by himself as Rody said, because in his opinion, those housekeepers are greedy for cheap and like to deal with things. Many times, they can't get the desired results when they give orders, so he simply does it himself. Completely took over, and did a good job... But he didn't publicize this kind of thing to the outside world, and his territory was almost ruined in the war. How did Rody know
But he didn't have the guts to ask this question, it was just a gimmick.
Rody didn't go around in circles, and said bluntly, "The main reason for inviting you to Elson City is because of your outstanding management skills. So I want to hire you as an official in my city, responsible for taxation, citizen safety and Public security and other issues. If you want, I will give you certain authority, salary 30 silver coins per month, housing, six rest days per month, three-month trial period, 20% off salary during the trial period, what do you think? ?”
Karen opened his mouth wide, unable to digest the information for a while—but Rody knew that these concepts would be difficult for traditional nobles to accept, so he took out two paper contracts and handed them to the other party for careful inspection. This kind of contractual contract does not have the unequal treaty similar to the "deed of sale" that Karen imagined, and it is fair from any angle, so he signed it happily after carefully consulting the affairs he needs to be responsible for. name.
"The soon-to-be established 'Elson City Administration' welcomes you to join. There are relatively few people in the bureau now, and I will be the director concurrently. You are the deputy director on a temporary basis. If you need subordinates, you can recruit them in the city according to your own requirements. I have a table here for the salary standard, you can measure it yourself."
Rody got up to see off the guests, and said to Kelen, who was full of thoughts about how to complete the task, "The construction of Elson City will be very fast. I hope you will integrate into this role as soon as possible."
"I will, Lord City Master! That's it... Isn't the name of the Bureau too awkward?"
Karen didn't have any idea about the term "urban management", but Luo Di solved his problem, "It's okay, just call it 'urban management'."
"Oh, yes, obey the Lord City Lord!"
After the other party left, Camilla, who had been silent all this time, said, "Are you really sure that these people are useful? Why do I feel that they don't even think about doing the things you said?"
"All people have potential. They are a bit inferior in their original positions, so they can give full play to their abilities when they are placed in a suitable position."
Roddy replied with a smile. In fact, these people were the more famous talents in the Karen Kingdom in his impression just now. He has become a master-level blacksmith in a famous town; the great pharmacist Ander is only a drug buyer at this time, and Roddy's demon potion will need such a person to configure it in the future; the most interesting thing is that he is still a bartender. Lakhill, this bearded guy will be the most famous "Underworld Brother" in the Karen Kingdom in the future. To put it bluntly, he is the leader of the underground society. Roddy asked him to serve as the captain of the city defense team. The purpose was naturally to rectify the dark side that every city will have—he didn't expect Elson City to become an ideal utopia, but Lakhill could undoubtedly become an ideal utopia.

As a "dry official".
The rest of the currently unremarkable civilians will be brave generals in the war with flexible minds and good strength in the future. Rody threw them directly to Suo Deluoer for training, and I believe they can all cultivate good seedlings.
Karen, who came last, is more famous. According to the historical trajectory, he served as a minister in the royal team of Charles II for two years. He has an opportunity to manage internally, and first helps Camilla share some cumbersome government affairs. In the future, if he really shows his talent, it might be possible for him to take a few steps forward and even become a member.
"I see that you have also recruited a lot of guys of all kinds. Even the wood elf village is trying to attract a few elves. Why? Is there a lack of maids in the mansion?"
Camilla asked blankly, and the corners of Rody's mouth twitched. He felt that she had a bad temper recently, so he answered bravely, "Elson's magic research department doesn't have agriculture yet. I need these after I set up the Department of Agriculture. An elf who can use natural spells to improve the variety of food..."
Camilla rolled her eyes, "How do you know they are just right? Besides, the people you found are far worse than job vacancies. If you go to Rahiman, what should I do?"
"That's why my goal of popularizing education and making paper was here."
Roddy wrote a stack of contracts on the table, "Cheap paper allows more people to learn knowledge, and people with knowledge become managers through competition-there may be a lot of resistance in this, but it is already a big deal for Efta now. It's not a problem...because all we have to do is break down the narrow corridor between commoners, peasants and aristocrats, and let them see the hope of advancement."
Camilla's expression gradually became serious, and she suddenly realized that what Rody wanted to do seemed simple, but actually shook the entire ruling structure of the Karen Kingdom!
"You want... to select among the common people, and then manage other people, even nobles?"
"Yes, I call this the 'Efta Civil Service Examination'," Rody smiled and tapped his head at the same time, "I will make an outline of the content of the exam based on the current school's teaching progress. By the way, in order to ensure that all People's loyalty to Efta, and the content of the test also includes a part of 'political' content."
"Politics? What do you mean?"
Camilla felt that she really couldn't keep up with Roddy's train of thought, so she hurriedly asked.
"Let them realize... that Efta is the best and most advanced place on the continent, that it is an honor to contribute to Efta, and it is a pride to be in the management of Efta - I suggest you go to the military camp for such things Captain Carter, he's better at it."
Rody smiled all over his face, "Actually, in other words, it's brainwashing."

"Damn it! Where's our newspaper? Why can't I see the paper I asked for?"
Milnor's angry roar echoed in the mansion, making the servants in the room afraid to breathe.
These days, they have clearly felt that the formerly amiable Earl seemed to be suffering from mania. A year ago, Mirno almost never showed any superfluous emotions on his face, but now they can hear him almost every day. yelling and shouting...
Obviously, the Lord Earl's war progress was not smooth, and his strategy to deal with the "Karen Era" was not very successful.
