Barov returned to the city hall office and immediately closed the door tightly. Go online if you like.
My God, he touched the Stone of God's Punishment on his chest, His Highness was really possessed by the devil. Regarding this, there was still some vague speculation before, but now he is almost certain that the person who just talked to him will never be the fourth prince.
You can understand a big change in personality or acting strangely, but suddenly comprehend something that you have never been exposed to, and have knowledge that you have never heard of? Only in myths and biographies can such things happen, but in the legends, gods possessed mortals and led mankind out of their predicaments. When did the devil love to do this
Barov would not be surprised if Roland Wimbledon managed his territory like the capital (although that would be difficult), saying that the fourth prince is ignorant, but his character can be disguised, and maybe there are others Secretly teach him how to govern a city, or even a country.
However, the ideas and plans expressed by the prince were completely unheard of by the minister's assistant. He has been in the City Hall of the Royal Capital for 20 years. As the Minister of Finance, he is very good at the structure and operation of the City Hall. Ministers are in charge of various functions. Except for private agreements, they usually do not sell anyone's account.
After the king issued a decree, the ministers who received the order would tell the people under his command to do it. Each minister had his own power and style of conduct. For example, the Knight of Steel Heart, who is in charge of the defense of the Royal Capital of Greycastle, controls hundreds of patrols and mercenaries, and has considerable influence on the dark underground organizations in the city. When he was doing business, he was rampaging with people and horses, and the criminals he targeted, even the nobles, had a hard time staying in the city, either leaving the capital or waiting to be put in a cell.
Not only the capital, but other cities as well.
So if you want to be a lord or a king's subordinate, you must first be a noble with a big family.
If you don't have enough money to recruit your subordinates, can you do everything by yourself? And the more people you have, the more you will be valued by the higher-ups—because there are many people who can do things well, everyone understands this truth.
But the prince's approach completely subverted Barov's concept. Whether it is a minister or his subordinates, everyone is recruited and paid by the city hall. That is to say, even if a minister is gone, a new one can even be promoted directly from below.
This is a brand-new system, and Barov is sure that what the prince wants to create is a political system that is completely different from the upper echelons of Greycastle.
Maybe some people will think that this is just Roland's whims, or a layman's self-righteousness? But the assistant minister didn't think so. He picked up a quill and recorded the requests of His Royal Highness on the paper one by one.
Looking at the plans, it's literally interlocking, with every detail considered.
The first is to manage to eat and drink Lazard.
Barov naturally knows that the stronger the control over the people, the faster the execution of the various orders issued by the lord, but this also greatly increases the number of managers. First, where to find so many people who can read and write ? Second, the extra salary is a heavy burden on the lord's subordinates, and few people are willing to do it.
Look at the other two of His Highness, recruiting civilians into the city hall and educating all civilians.
When he swiped the two lines of text with his fingers, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart.
If both of these two things are realized by His Highness, what will Border Town look like
Any civilian can read and write, and as long as the city hall wants to expand its scale, it can find a large number of suitable personnel at any time. And this will in turn promote the popularization of education - receiving education will give you the opportunity to enter the city hall, get a well-paid position, and at the same time bring about the promotion of social status, I am afraid that it will not take a year or two, everyone will take the initiative to accept it Education, even if you can't do it yourself, will think about sending your child to the academy.
In addition, all the salaries of the employees mentioned above are paid by the city hall, that is, the lord Roland, and the commoners do not need to spend another copper eagle to build their own team, which is equivalent to completely breaking the restriction that the nobles have the capital to serve as administrative officials. .
There is no doubt that only the devil could have conceived of such a shocking system.
Barov took a deep breath and squeezed the God's Stone of Retribution in his hand. Now there is only one question left, is the devil also kind
To say that Roland was an evil man, he was the first to stand up and disagree.
What the Fourth Prince did, in his eyes, could even be called the action of a wise king. Even the records of the legendary kings in the history books did not care as much about the life and death of every subject as he did. Stay in the border town together with the people and spend a lot of money to buy food, so that everyone can spend the month of the devil safely; bring the devil's technology and equipment for the development of the town; even the devil's minions and witches are also there Use your abilities to improve people's lives.
Barov suddenly felt that even if Roland became the king of Greycastle, it didn't seem to be such a bad thing.
Thinking of his father's teaching to him: don't say what you shouldn't say, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, he decided to hide his discovery in his heart first. Since he is a devil, he will always have sex with the church in the future. If the form is not right, he can still be an exposer and witness who is ambush in the devil's camp.
He rang the bell and summoned Senidali, who was new to the city hall.
Compared to those stupid and arrogant knights, this young man who ran to the wolf family is already outstanding. Although he still has a little pride as a knight, he is at least willing to listen to his own instructions.
"Teacher, what's the matter with you?" He saluted as he entered the door.
"His Royal Highness wants to set up a new department to be in charge of crop cultivation and supervision, and needs two apprentices to assist in recording," Barov repeated Roland's request, "Also, you go to the City Hall Archives and select ten people who meet the requirements. , and then do the screening. Although the other party is a commoner, His Highness has insisted that they should be included in the city hall. If some of them perform well, maybe they will become the director of the Ministry of Agriculture, hey..." He sighed, "You first Follow them to record the results, and when the spring ploughing is over, I will transfer you back."
"Teacher, you only need to filter out two people," he said with his chest up, "I'm also familiar with this aspect."
"You?" Barov was stunned.
"Yes! Before I became a knight, I helped my father manage the farm and knew a lot about wheat farming." Sene paused, "But when His Highness asked me if I had any other expertise, I didn't say it... Because I was worried at the time. He sent me to work with the serfs in the fields."
Barov was overjoyed. He was educated and knew about farming, so that even if civilians were allowed to join the Ministry of Agriculture, he would be a competent supervisor. From the current point of view, Saini is on his side. If he becomes the director, he will also have influence on the Ministry of Agriculture.
"Very good," he babbled, turning this consideration into a promise of profit, "work hard, maybe you can climb to a higher position than before."
After Seni left, Barov leaned back on the chair and exhaled lightly.
Now that he knew that His Highness was a devil, he had to hold on tighter and not let go. The devil is always full of admiration for ambitious people, a common account of mythology and biographies. For him, whether it is the right granted by the king or the right granted by the devil, it is equally sweet.
