The Grand Duchy of Sapphire follows the system of the Kingdom of Iron Ridge.
Knights are headed by knight commanders, and officials are headed by advisors.
As Liszt's family teacher, Galtai was appointed by the earl to follow Liszt to Huahua Town after the enfeoffment system. What he wanted was the position of consultant.
After all, no matter how nice the family teacher said, it couldn't change that this was a servant.
The same is true for Marcus, he is also a tutor, but his identity is still a retinue knight, belonging to the sequence of servants. What's more, Gortai himself is a nobleman, even though he is the lowest knight of the Lord, and he is not even a nobleman, just a better group of commoners.
"My lord, are you going to give me the position of advisor to Huahua Town?" Gao Ertai still couldn't believe it. He had been here for half a year, and Liszt had never mentioned an advisor, and he was about to give up.
Unexpectedly, joy fell from the sky, and he was appointed as a consultant when he was caught off guard.
"What's the matter, is Mr. Gao Ertai unwilling to take the role?"
"Yes, of course I am willing, how could I not be willing, haha." Gao Ertai was full of energy and beaming, "I am ready to serve you anytime, anywhere, and I must do my best to manage Huahua Town. I will definitely be able to live up to the duties of a consultant. A little slack."
Liszt said: "I have seen all the recent work attitudes. You are my tutor, and I trust you. Huahua Town is my only fiefdom, and it is also the basis for me to strive for glory. Its importance is self-evident , I hope you can take it seriously."
Gao Ertai put away his bright smile, touched his chest with his left hand, and solemnly saluted the knight: "As you wish!"
"Flower Town is in your charge, my advisor."
"Willing to serve you!"
There is no grand appointment ceremony, Huahua Town is just a small country town, and it is as simple as that, and a consultant equivalent to the head of a town has been elected.
Strictly speaking, an advisor sounds better than an administrative officer at best, and Galtai's real power has not increased much—the advisor can appoint town officials, which sounds like he has great power, but the castle is next door, and it is impossible for any official to be appointed Avoid Lister.
However, income has increased significantly.
His original salary of 10 copper coins a day has risen to 20 copper coins a day. The increased income allowed him to buy lots of extra wine, or some furniture for his small family with Freya.
"Master Advisor, congratulations!" Isaiah and others congratulated Galtai one after another.
Gao Ertai was high-spirited and laughed constantly: "For Baron Liszt, for the honor of the knights, and for the future of all of us, let us build Huahua Town into a more prosperous and prosperous place!"
People are in good spirits on happy occasions.
As a consultant, Gao Ertai devoted himself to work with full enthusiasm in the next two days. In addition to managing specific affairs, he did not forget Liszt's explanation and made an overall arrangement for the future planning of Huahua Town. To this end, he made a request during the dinner.
"My lord, I'm going to conduct another small town census, no, it should be called a small town resource census. First, calculate the area of farmland, plan the agricultural structure of Huahua Town, and wait for 500 serfs to arrive, and quickly arrange the serfs to farm. .Secondly, investigate the sales of goods in the caravan, and reasonably arrange craftsmen to run the shops."
He waved his little fork, disregarding noble etiquette, and said passionately: "There are more and more caravans coming and going to the town, and the flower caravans and thorn caravans can sell the town's products. Our business district is very popular." Soon it will prosper and bring a lot of gold to the castle!"
"A very good idea, consultant Gao Ertai, make this plan in more detail, and give it to me for review."
"Yes, my lord."
…
Outside the town administrative office.
Costo was pacing back and forth, and from time to time civilians passing by greeted him, and he responded one by one. Costo is now a celebrity in the town. The source of his fame is not that he is the first captain of the first ship in Huahua Town, the Huahua, but his tireless pursuit attitude.
Young sons in almost every household have been won over by him: "Young man, you have a lot of ideas, learn to sail from me!"
Even those young bachelors have been wooed by him: "Huahua Town has many men and few women, you can't marry a wife. Why don't you learn to sail with me, there are countless women in the world outside, after a boat trip, you can be married Marry a hard-working and capable woman with a big butt, and you will have many sons."
Most people sneered at Costo's solicitation.
The "mainland complex" brought by the nobles made the narrow-minded commoners have a natural fear and ignorance of the sea.
Therefore, after numerous rebuffs, Costo only recruited ten bachelors and twelve teenagers to follow him to learn sailing and become sailor apprentices. And this is free teaching. If he wants to charge tuition, no one will come, and he has to subsidize a few tons of lunch from time to time.
If it wasn't for the lord to pay him a fixed salary for teaching the knight squad, he wouldn't even receive a single apprentice.
Costo was not discouraged by his yearning for the sea, and he was still enthusiastic about training these sailor apprentices of various ages.
But these two days, none of the sailor apprentices came.
Costo was in a hurry to get angry.
Da da da.
The horseshoes stepped on the gravel road, making a crisp sound.
He immediately greeted him, and the town's consultant came back: "Master Consultant!"
"It's Captain Costo, what's the matter?" Galtai looked dusty, his face was a little purple from the sun.
"My apprentices are all going to cut down trees, my lord, they need to learn how to sail, instead of being transferred to do such insignificant things as cutting down trees."
"I'm sorry Costo, cutting down trees is not an insignificant matter. This is what the lord personally explained, and it is related to the future development of the entire Flower Town. You can wait a few days for your sailing career. Anyway, you don't need to go to sea, just treat it as It's you who give yourself a vacation, but I don't have time to take a vacation."
Galtai didn't pay much attention to Costo, and just wanted to send him away—the small town couldn't afford farming, so there was no time to go sailing.
However, he underestimated Kostow's determination, and after talking about "the lord wants to develop the maritime industry", Costo and Galtai were at odds. Wherever Galtai went, he followed, even if Galtai go home. Gao Ertai, who was forced to do nothing, had no choice but to agree to him.
"I can transfer your twelve young sailor apprentices and let them continue to learn sailing with you, but adult apprentices must cut down trees."
"Yes!" Kostow quickly responded, he was satisfied with earning twelve young apprentices.
"One more point, the teenagers help at the tree-cutting site, one copper coin for two days, and you need to pay for this part of the loss."
"Oh my God, I have no money!"
"Aren't you letting teenagers make money? Their parents will teach you how to behave, Costo."
"Navigation is for the glory of the lord. Could it be that the town stands by and does nothing? The town should pay for this money!"
There was another round of rogue wrangling, and finally Galtai agreed that the town would subsidize the lost wages of the apprentices during the lumberjacking battle.
Only then did Costo board the Flora with satisfaction.
Facing the twelve apprentices, he shouted loudly: "When the tide rises, the Flower will sail to the future pier. In the next few days, we will spend around the pier!"
