At the beginning of the second month of winter, Barov walked into Roland's office with a stack of notebooks.
As soon as he walked to the table, his eyes were attracted by a huge coloring page painting on the table, "This is... a map of the entire Western Region?"
"It's not just the Western Region," Roland laughed. "It also includes a part of the Wilderness and the Hidden Forest, especially this clearing." He pointed to the area to the north of the Desolate Mountain Range, which is the Fertile Plain in Agatha's mouth. " At present, the area that has been explored is nearly the size of three western borders, and if it can be reclaimed and utilized, it will be enough to feed hundreds of thousands of people.”
In order to completely eliminate the threat of the devil's camp, he asked Lightning and Maisie to scan the area and draw a map. Since Maisie can now directly carry Soraya for drawing operations, the map obtained is also more accurate. Although the mystery of the disappearance of the devil's camp remains unsolved, the good news is that there is no sign of a second enemy camp within a 200-kilometer radius of Border Town.
"But there are not only evil beasts in the wilderness, but also... terrifying enemies, as you said," Barov hesitated. "Isn't it too dangerous to cultivate in the northwest direction?"
"By that time, the First Army should also have the strength to fight against the devil," Roland's fingers slowly moved on the plain, "If we can't defeat these enemies, the territory will be the same wherever it is built."
Since the Devil Scout appeared in the Hidden Forest, he realized that this news was not suitable for concealment. In order to avoid the panic caused by the sudden exposure, the prince revealed the existence of the devil to a few high-level officials. Judging from the current acceptance, the reaction of everyone is normal. Of course, he also slightly suppressed the strength of the other party, claiming that these enemies are basically the same as The mixed-species demonic beasts are quite similar, and the history of the first two battles of divine will has not been disclosed.
Roland knew that he couldn't stay on the border of the continent all the time. Compared with the four major kingdoms, the barren land... or the fertile plains was the place he was worth operating. Compared with the entire plain, the area that has been discovered is only a corner. It is conceivable how vast the area occupied by humans was during the Second Battle of Divine Will.
He retracted his fingers and rolled the map aside, "Do you have anything to report?"
"Yes, Your Highness," Barov nodded and spread the notebook under his arm in front of the prince, "I have drawn up a plan for the expansion of the city hall according to your request."
"Oh? Let me see."
In order to cope with the rapidly increasing territorial scope after the city was built, Roland formulated a new framework for the future management organization according to the functional departments of the later governments. In general, the entire upper department is divided into four major blocks, namely the City Hall, the Army, the Security Bureau and the Witch Union.
According to the expansion plan, the new town hall will assume the role of the cabinet or the State Council, and is also the core body of the entire territory. At that time, the number of personnel will increase to about 500 people, and it will govern six major departments of finance, diplomacy, education, agriculture, industry, and justice, and new departments can be added at any time as needed. In addition, after the reunification of Graycastle, other cities can follow suit and set up corresponding subordinate institutions, which will be handed over to the city hall for management.
In addition to combat personnel, the army also has independent production departments and medical departments as logistical support. Each army has a commander-in-chief responsible for specific combat matters, and the highest authority of the entire army belongs to itself.
The Security Bureau is a secret agency hidden in the dark. The funds are not allocated by the City Hall, and the members are not recorded in the files. The main function is to monitor the internal security of the territory and the corruption of officials.
Finally, there is the Witch League... Roland considered this organization for a long time, and finally decided to count it as an independent department, rather than spread it out and let the witches integrate into other departments.
The reason is that the abilities of some witches vary greatly before and after evolution, and they can work across multiple departments, such as Anna and Soraya, from industry to agriculture, to national defense and education, all of which can play an important role.
Another point is that individual witches have not arranged work for the time being, which does not mean that they will be the same in the future. Classifying them into one category can effectively avoid dampening their enthusiasm. This is also what Scroll and Wendy mentioned to him.
He hoped that in the future, the Witch Union could operate on its own, including recruiting witches, checking their abilities, and assigning jobs, all of which would be handled by them themselves.
"Can you recruit so many literate people?" Roland raised his head and asked after flipping through the city hall's plan. An organization of 500 people is absolutely huge in this era, and everyone is required to understand the documents. It is almost impossible to put it in other territories. It may be possible to find so many literate people in the king cities, but proud nobles Certainly not willing to be an apprentice.
"With the addition of a new batch of graduates, there should be no problem," Barov replied. "Now, according to the feedback from the recruitment announcement, the position of the city hall is the most popular."
It seems that the civil servant fever is the same in any world... Roland couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth, "If that's the case, let's recruit people according to the plan above. The last task is to formulate laws."
"As long as you give me the main clauses mentioned last time, I will call the apprentices to complete the rest as soon as possible," the city hall director said with great interest.
"That's called the Basic Law," Roland smiled. It seemed that model workers who were interested in work were not only appearing among witches, which was a good sign for a new regime.
"By the way, Your Highness," said Barov, "if the size of the city hall is expanded as planned, the current house may not be able to accommodate so many people. Can you…"
"Building a new city hall?" The prince nodded, "Of course, I will arrange for Carl to implement it." In the eyes of the lords, this is also equivalent to the face of the lord. They rarely have the opportunity to step into the castle, but they often do. To go to the city hall to do business, a certain degree of luxury and style is still necessary. If it is too simple and close to the people, it will reduce the people's trust in themselves.
After Barov retreated, Roland asked his guards to call Prius Dissa, the knight of the Elk family.
I haven't seen him for more than half a year. He has obviously gained a lot of weight, and the flesh on his face has increased. His cheeks are glowing red, and it seems that he is living a good life.
"Recently, there have been a lot of eggs and poultry in the convenience market. It's all your credit," Roland smiled. "It seems that you really have a knack for raising chickens and ducks."
"Hey..." He smiled a little embarrassedly, "I couldn't have done this without your initial support."
The road to breeding has not been smooth sailing, and chicken plague also occurred at the beginning, resulting in a large number of chicken deaths. With the idea of paying tuition fees, Roland did not throw him into the mine, but continued to buy chicks from the fortress and hand them over to him for breeding. Now Prius can be regarded as one of the irreplaceable talents of the town.
"I'm going to put you in town hall to work under the Ministry of Agriculture, would you?"
"Your Highness, you... won't let me continue to feed chickens and ducks?" Prius was slightly startled.
"Of course not, you are doing very well, so I hope you can drive more people to invest in this industry," Roland encouraged, "Next, I plan to expand the scale of farming dozens of times, just rely on you and your family to make sure Can't take care of it. By joining the town hall, you can pass on your experience to more people and teach them how to farm."
With Lily's ability to sterilize and eliminate epidemics, the most difficult difficulties in animal husbandry no longer exist. Not only chickens and ducks, but also the breeding of large livestock such as cattle and sheep is obviously also within the prince's expansion plan.
"This is undoubtedly a great job, no less than the honor of being a knight," said the prince after a pause, "and one day, eggs and poultry will be served on the table of every household in the West. , and seeing these delicious foods, everyone will remember your name firmly. What do you think?"
"I... willing to work for you." Prius Dissa excitedly clenched his fist in his chest and bowed in response.
