Chapter 665: A New Administrative System

First of all, most of these officials were from poor backgrounds. Most of them are retired non-commissioned officers from the army, and their own knowledge is really limited. It may not be a big problem to let them command the war, but there are many drawbacks to managing the locality.

These people carried out Eva's orders thoroughly, but they were at a loss for civil affairs. Many people stumbled over reassuring the citizens, arranging for farmers to farm the land, and collecting logistical supplies.

To put it bluntly, their rigid thinking needs someone to guide or direct them in order to work smoothly. This is obviously not a problem for the nobles who are familiar with these routines.

Secondly, it seems that the commoners all have a cheap temperament, and do not have as much respect for the poor officials as they are, and some of them are even disobedient. But in the face of the aristocracy, they are all respectful, and Locke can't arrange a knighthood for every retired non-commissioned officer.

At the beginning, Locke considered arranging the retired non-commissioned officers to serve as affairs officers in emerging towns around the country. The first is to solve the problem of employment for retired soldiers, and the second is to squeeze the aristocracy out of their own administrative system.

Many career non-commissioned officers are mentally stressed after years of service and are no longer fit to serve in the military. The high salaries and salaries of Locke's army made them look down on the money they earned from working in the fields. And after they see blood, they basically don't choose to go back to the farmland. The only professions that met their previous professional ranks were adventurers, nobles' private soldiers, caravan guards, etc.

This range is very narrow, and there are few nobles who can raise private soldiers, and there are not many of them now. Moreover, Locke was ready to weaken the number of nobles' private soldiers as soon as he stepped forward, and the rebellion of the lords of the hills of Hillsbrad in the South had already reminded Locke that he naturally couldn't start this again.

Secondly, the demand for caravan escorts is saturated. This has long been an industry in Eva, and many soldiers who are discharged from the army work in it every year.

In the end, the only one who can choose is the adventurer, the low-curtain freelancer. But the existence of adventurers is actually a very unstable factor for society. Most of the robberies, extortion, and thefts that were carried out in various parts of Locke's rule every year were done by this group of people. They are mobile and widespread, and they are good citizens when they enter the towns and robbers when they go out of the towns.

This is something that a great aristocrat like Locke cannot tolerate.

In addition, the large cities of Iva and Gadar, under the monastery, have gathered more and more people over the years. The more people he controlled, the more Locke felt that it was too much to feed them.

He was to feed the army of Tyrossos, and the army of the Hand of Tyr, and the army of the Valley of the Hearth, and the army of Ambermir, and his own army. Several of the gnolll druids in Eva's fields have advanced to become great druids who specialize in agriculture. The land near the town had been reclaimed by the idle people, and Locke was not enough.

Almost every month, the food delivery team is sending food to various places. The pressure was so great that Locke was a little out of breath right now. Eva, which has long created a paradise city, is surrounded by refugees who have fled to paradise....

It was necessary to find a way to move the surplus people out of each town. After all, Locke, who came from the farming and warfare nations of later generations, didn't like to see so much land in the wilderness wasted.

Therefore, in order to solve the problem of employment for soldiers, and also to relocate the redundant people around the city to the vast wilderness, and make use of the wasted land there, Locke tried to solve all the problems he encountered in series.

He left behind the nobles, along with Berg and Shiloh, who circled the map and researched the creation of new towns and moved the surplus people from all over the world to build their own homes in those towns.

The establishment of the official system was an attempt by Locke to squeeze the aristocracy out of his own system. However, as mentioned above, the effect is obviously not ideal.

So Locke didn't agree with the aristocracy's willingness to join his system, but he had to agree for the sake of future management.

But in order to prevent the aristocracy from growing in the towns and cities everywhere, Locke decided to follow the example of his previous life. Locke called each of the nobles sent to each of the new towns in various places as magistrates, and distinguished the local affairs officers.

Administrative officials are evaluated annually, and nobles who perform well are promoted or transferred to better towns or cities to serve as administrators.

This kind of administrative officer is similar to the civil service system of Locke's previous life, and the administrative officer is the career system.... This was what Locke felt was an effective means of managing the current Lordaeron locality.

In the future, except for some special noble lords who own fiefs, other nobles will no longer own fiefs. But now the nobles who own the fief still have it, and the nobles who do not have a fief still have all the privileges of the nobility except for the fief.

Locke believes that this kind of refined management will allow Lordaeron to take a different path in the future.

As for how the nobles without a territory could make a living, Locke did not think it was a problem. As a nobleman, your living environment is much better than that of a commoner, right? You should have a level of education that would allow you to become a member of the parliament-led system of administrative officer evaluation, right? No matter how bad it is to enter the army and directly become a warrant officer, such a starting point is not known how many times higher than that of civilians! It's easy to do business as a nobleman, right? Your capital and the connections and connections you have will be much more than ordinary people, right? Is your business much easier than the average person?

Under so many ways, the aristocracy can also mix into poverty, and there is really nothing to say. Find a rope and hang yourself!

Of course, this one is in a hurry. These are just some of Locke's ideas, which will be gradually implemented in subsequent meetings.

The power of the world was enormous, and Locke had to slowly adapt the nobles to the process. Like boiling a frog in warm water, they make some changes every once in a while, and change their minds unconsciously.

Locke sat back in his chair, he picked up the teacup, and behind him, the young squire sent by the Abydis family, hurriedly stepped forward and poured a steaming cup of tea from the teapot in his hand.

Locke blew lightly, took a sip of tea, he put down the teacup and said with a smile, "There is a little little space here..."

There was no less, except for Sally, Norris, DeMetia, Hudson, Viscount Quett, and Baron Berg, most of the others were standing.

"But it doesn't matter. In the future, everyone will have their place in the new council hall in Iva. Locke smiled and pressed his palms against the table, "Positions that match your status..."

These words made many people who entered this office for the first time excitedly do all kinds of small actions. This is especially true for those who are participating in such a high-level meeting for the first time.

For example, Viscount Kuit, who was sitting in a chair, seemed to have a nail under his buttocks, and he was always moving his ass with excitement.

In fact, everyone understands what this means. This may be the vision of the future king, but it will take the efforts of their people.

"Viscount Quit, I can answer the question you just asked. Including people who are entering this office for the first time. But I want you to remember," Locke stretched out his finger and made a stitching gesture in his mouth, "it's about our army's battle plan, it's in top secret." If there is any leakage, it will be embarrassing...."

For Locke's final warning words, the first-time attendees raised their spirits.

"The undead in the ruins of Lordaeron are not like other undead scourges." Locke found some parchment rolls in the pile of parchment on his desk, and he held them in the air and waved them, saying, "Many of them used to be us Lordaerons... No! Almost 100 percent of us Lordaerons. I have personally and many of the soldiers in our army who have come into contact with them. ”

"They are not as evil and bloodthirsty as you think," Locke beckoned, and the young squire behind him hurriedly stepped forward to take the parchment scroll that Locke had planted, "Give them to Viscount Quart, and the other adults who want to know." ”

The squires weaved through the crowd present, especially those who had entered for the first time. The young squire handed them the parchment scrolls, which contained case after case.

"It is a record of every undead who claimed to be a Lordaeron in the periphery of the royal city and in the wilderness." Locke paused as he watched the men continue to look at the parchment, and continued, "Even if they lost their lives and rose from the ground again, they didn't forget their identity as Lordaeron. ”

"They are wandering in the ruins of their homeland, and they are looking for our troops who are risking their death again, and they want us to help find their families."

"General Hudson, is that so?" Locke turned to Hudson, who nodded and said, "I've seen many of these undead, and many of them are harmless. Some of them even help our soldiers who patrol outside. ”

"Ugh." Saying this, Hudson shook his head and sighed helplessly, "We can't do anything but keep them out of the crowd." ”

"As Bishops of the Holy Light Church in the region, we are aware of many such cases." Sally has also come to endorse Locke, and her status as bishop will undoubtedly make Locke's words much more credible.

"Many of the undead in the ruins of Lordaeron have not forgotten their families, and they still want to find their families as much as they did when they were alive. They want to integrate into human life again, but they have to..."

"What do you mean?" Viscount Quat looked at Locke suspiciously, "You want to win them over?" ”

Locke nodded, not denying, "Yes, if we can safely solve the problem of the ruins of Lordaeron, there is no need to let our soldiers lose their lives. What's more, many of the people on the other side do have a constant relationship with us. ”

"But do you know, Great Lord? How much of a panic is there among the people about this monster? As you said, they're undead now. They are no longer human beings like us, will their families accept them as they did before when they see them? Viscount Quat shook his head and said, "This is not a good solution to dispose of properly. ”

In fact, there are many solutions, but they are not limited to this one. The real battle plan, of course Locke will not tell him.

Locke just thinks that the undead can fight for it, after all, in the history of Lordaeron, this kind of undead with their own reason is not a minority.

The Forsaken in Lordaeron have not yet begun to massacre the Lordaerons on a large scale to expand their numbers, as they have done in the past. Their banshee king, Sylvanas, is only bent on revenge, and he can't win it over.

Isn't Kuleman, the Forsaken who helped him, a warm-hearted undead when he first came? Who could have known that under his ugly exterior, that already cold heart was still hot?
