At the beginning of the second month of winter, Barov walked into Roland's office with a stack of notebooks. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as he walked to the table, his eyes were drawn to a large coloring page on the table, "This is ...... A map of the entire West?"

"It's not just the West," Roland smiled, "but also a portion of the Wild Lands and the Hidden Forest, especially this clearing," he said, pointing to the northern part of the Desperate Mountains, which is what Agatha called the Fertile Plains, "and the area that has been explored so far is nearly three sizes of the West, and if it can be reclaimed, it will be enough to feed hundreds of thousands of people." ”

In order to eliminate the threat of the Devil's Camp once and for all, he had Lightning and Maisie sweep the area and map it - since Maisie could now carry Zoroa directly to the map, the map was 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 two-hundred-kilometer radius of Frontier Town.

"But there are not only evil beasts in the wilderness, but also what you say...... Terrible enemy," Barov hesitated, "is it too dangerous to reclaim to the northwest?"

"By then, the First Army should also have the strength to fight the devil," Roland's fingers slowly moved across the plain, "if we can't defeat these enemies, the territory will be built the same wherever it is." ”

Ever since the appearance of the Devil Scout in the Hidden Forest, he realized that this news was no longer 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, and as far as the current reception was concerned, everyone's reaction was quite normal - of course, he also suppressed the opponent's strength slightly, claiming that these enemies were basically equal to the mixed beasts, and did not reveal the history of the first two divine will wars.

Roland knew that he couldn't stay on the border of the continent all the time, compared to the four kingdoms, the wilderness ...... Or the fertile plains, which is where he is worth operating. Now that the area has been discovered is only a corner of the plain, one can imagine how vast the area occupied by humans during the Second War of Divine Will.

He withdrew his finger and rolled up the map and set it aside, "Do you have anything to report?"

"Yes, Your Highness," Barov nodded, spreading the notebook under his arm in front of the prince, "I have drawn up a plan for the expansion of the town hall according to your request. ”

"Oh? ”

In order to cope with the rapid increase in the size of the territory after the establishment of the city, Roland developed 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 sections, which are the town hall, the army, the security service, and the witch union.

According to the expansion plan, the new town hall will assume the role of the cabinet or the House of State*, and will be the core institution of the entire territory. At that time, the number of personnel will increase to about 500, and it will have six major departments: finance, foreign affairs, education, agriculture, industry, and justice, and new departments can be added at any time according to needs. In addition, after the unification of the Gray Castle, other cities can also follow the gourd and set up corresponding subordinate institutions, and hand them over to the city hall for management.

In addition to the combat staffing, the army also has an independent production department and a medical department as a logistical support. Each army has a commander-in-chief, who is responsible for specific combat matters, and the supreme power of the whole army is vested in itself.

The Security Service is a secret agency hidden in the shadows, with funds not allocated by the town hall and members not recorded in the files, and its main function is to monitor the internal security of the territory and the corruption of officials.

Finally, there is the League of Witches...... Roland thought about this organization for a long time, and finally decided to count it as a separate department, rather than scattering and letting the witches integrate into the other departments.

The reason for this is that some witches' abilities vary greatly from one to the next, and they can work across multiple departments - such as Anna and Soroya, from industry to agriculture to defense and education.

Another point is that just because some witches don't have a job for the time being, it doesn't mean that they will be the same in the future, and grouping them into one category can effectively avoid dampening their motivation, which is what the book and Wendy mentioned to him.

He hopes that in the future, the Witch League will be able to operate on its own, including the reception of witches, the ability to check, and the assignment of work, all of which will be handled by themselves.

"Can you recruit so many literate people?" Roland asked, looking up after flipping through the plan for the town hall manager. An institution of five hundred men was a huge institution in this day and age, and it required everyone to be able to read the papers, which was almost impossible to achieve in other realms—so many literate people might be found in royal cities, but a proud nobleman would certainly not be willing to serve as an apprentice.

"With the addition of the new batch of graduates, it should be fine," Barov replied, "and judging by the feedback from the recruitment announcement, the city hall position is the most popular." ”

It seems that the civil servant fever is the same in every world...... Roland couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, "In that case, let's recruit people according to the above plan, and the last task next is to formulate the law." ”

"As long as you give me the main rules you mentioned last time, I will gather the apprentices to complete the rest as soon as possible," said the town hall manager with high interest.

"That's called the Basic Law," Roland smiled, and it seemed that there were more than just model workers interested in their work among witches - a good sign for a new regime.

"By the way, Your Highness," Barov said, "if the city hall is expanded as planned, it is likely that the current house will not be able to accommodate so many people, can it be ......?"

"Build a new town hall?" the prince nodded, "Of course, I'll arrange for Carl to do it." In the eyes of the lords, this is also equivalent to the face of the lord - they rarely have the opportunity to set foot in the castle, but they often go to the town hall to do errands, a certain degree of luxury and grandeur is still necessary, too simple and close to the people will reduce the trust of the people.

When Barov had retired, Roland had his guards call for Prius Disa, the knight of the Elk family.

I haven't seen him for more than half a year, he has obviously gained weight, the flesh on his face has increased, his cheeks are flushed, and he seems to be living a good life.

"There's been a lot of eggs and poultry in the convenience market lately, and that's all thanks to you," Roland smiled, "It seems that you do have a knack for raising chickens and ducks." ”

"Hehe...... "I couldn't have done this without your initial support." ”

The road to breeding has not been easy, and there was a chicken plague at the beginning, which led to a large number of chicken deaths. In order to pay the tuition, Roland did not throw him into the mine, but continued to buy chicken seedlings from the fortress and give them to him to raise. Now Prius can be regarded as one of the irreplaceable talents of the town.

"I'm going to put you in town hall and come under the Ministry of Agriculture, would you like that?"

"Your Highness, you ...... Won't you let me continue feeding the chickens and ducks?" Prius was slightly stunned.

"Of course not, you're doing a good job, so I hope you can bring more people into this business," Roland encouraged, "and then I plan to expand the scale of farming dozens of times, and you and your family will definitely not be able to 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 eradicate the disease, the most difficult difficulties in animal husbandry no longer exist, not only chickens, ducks, but also large livestock such as cattle and sheep are obviously also in the prince's expansion plan.

"It is undoubtedly a great job, no less than the honor of being a knight," the prince paused, and then continued, "and one day eggs and poultry will be served on the tables of every householder in the West, and your name will be remembered at the sight of these delicious foods." What do you think?"

"I ...... Willing to work for you. Prius Disa clenched his fists in his chest and bowed in response.
