Chapter 402 Organizational Structure

At the beginning of the second month of winter, Barov walked into Roland's office with a stack of books under his arm.

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 Territory?"

"It's not just the western region," Roland said with a smile, "it also includes a part of the wild land and the hidden forest, especially this open space." He pointed to the area north of the Impassable Mountain Range, which is the fertile soil plain that Agatha said, " The area that has been explored so far 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 Maggie to scan the area and draw it into a map——Since Maggie can directly carry Soraya to do the mapping work, the map obtained is even better. accurate. Although the mystery of the disappearance of the devil camp remains unsolved, the good news is that there is no sign of a second enemy camp within a radius of 200 kilometers from Border Town.

"But there are not only evil beasts in the barren land, but also... the terrifying enemies you mentioned," Barov hesitated. "Isn't it too dangerous to cultivate in the northwest?"

"By then, the First Army should have the power to fight against the devil." Roland moved his fingers slowly on the plain. "If we can't defeat these enemies, it doesn't matter where the territory is built."

Ever since the devil scout appeared in the Misty Forest, he realized that it was not suitable to hide this news any longer. 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 situation, the reaction of everyone is quite normal—of course, he also slightly suppressed the strength of the opponent, declaring that these enemies It is basically comparable to a hybrid evil beast, and the history of the first two battles of divine will has not been revealed.

Roland knew that he couldn't stay on the border of the mainland all the time. Compared with the Four Great Kingdoms, the barren land...or the fertile plains was the place he was worth managing. Compared with the entire plain, the area that has been proven now is just a corner. It is conceivable how vast the area occupied by humans was during the second battle of divine will.

He retracted his fingers, rolled up the map and put it aside, "Do you have anything to report?"

"Yes, Your Highness," Barov nodded, and spread out the notebook under his arm in front of the prince, "I have drawn up a plan to expand the city hall according to your request."

"Oh? Let me see."

In order to cope with the rapidly growing territory after the establishment of the city, Roland formulated a new framework for the future management organization according to the classification of the functional departments of the later generations of governments. In general, the entire upper-level department is divided into four parts, namely the city hall, the army, the security bureau, and the witch union.

According to the expansion plan, the new city hall will assume the role of the cabinet or the State Council, and it will also be the core institution of the entire territory. At that time, the number of staff will increase to about 500, and the six major departments of finance, foreign affairs, education, agriculture, industry, and justice will be under its jurisdiction, and new departments can be added at any time according to needs. In addition, after the unification of Graycastle, other cities can also follow the example of the gourd and set up corresponding lower-level institutions, and hand them 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 who is responsible for specific combat matters, and the highest power 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 its members will not be recorded in the files. Its main function is to monitor the internal security of the territory and the affairs of officials.

Finally, there is the Witch Union... For this organization, Roland considered it for a long time, and finally decided to count it as an independent department instead of dispersing it and letting the witches integrate into other departments.

The reason is that some witches have huge differences in their abilities before and after evolution, and they can work across multiple departments—for example, Anna and Soraya, from industry to agriculture, to national defense and education, can play an important role.

Another point is that individual witches have not arranged work for the time being, but it does not mean that they will be the same in the future. Grouping them into one group can effectively avoid dampening their enthusiasm. This is what Scroll and Wendy mentioned to him.

He hoped that in the future, the Witch Union would be able to operate on its own, including admitting witches, checking capabilities, and assigning tasks, all of which would be handled by themselves.

"Can you recruit so many literate people?" Roland looked up and asked after flipping through the proposal from the city hall manager. An organization of 500 people is absolutely huge in this era, and it is required that everyone can understand the documents, which is almost impossible to achieve in other territories-maybe you can find so many literate people in the king cities, but they are proud and arrogant. A noble would certainly not be willing to serve as an apprentice.

"If you add the new batch of graduates, it should be fine," Barov replied. "Judging from the feedback from the recruitment announcement, the positions in the city hall are the most popular."

It seems that the popularity of civil servants is the same in any world... Roland couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth, "In this case, let's recruit people according to the above plan, and the last task is to enact laws."

"As long as you hand over the main clauses mentioned last time to me, I will summon apprentices to complete the rest as soon as possible," said the head of the city hall with high spirits.

"That's called the Basic Law," Roland smiled. It seems that the model workers who are interested in work are not only among the witches - this is a good sign for a new regime.

"By the way, Your Highness," Barov said, "If the scale of the city hall is expanded as planned, the current house may not be able to accommodate so many people. Can you..."

"Build a new city hall?" The prince nodded, "Of course, I will arrange for Karl to implement it." In the eyes of the people, this is also equivalent to the face of the lord—they rarely have the opportunity to step into the castle, but I often go to the city hall to do business, and a certain degree of luxury and style is still necessary. If you are too simple and friendly to the people, it will reduce the trust of the people in you.

After Barov resigned, Roland asked his personal guards to call Prius Disa, the elk knight.

I haven't seen him for more than half a year. He has obviously gained a lot of weight, his face has become more fleshy, his cheeks are glowing red, and he seems to be living a good life.

"Recently, there have been a lot of eggs and poultry meat in the convenience market. It's all thanks to you," Roland said with a smile. "It seems that you really have a way of raising chickens and ducks."

"Hey..." He smiled a little embarrassedly, "I wouldn't have been able to do this without your initial support."

The road to breeding was not all smooth sailing, and there was also chicken plague at the beginning, which caused a large number of chickens to die. With the idea of ​​paying tuition, Roland did not throw him into the mine, but continued to buy chicks from the fortress and hand them over to him for breeding. Price is now one of the town's irreplaceable talents.

"I'm going to put you in town hall, under the Ministry of Agriculture, will you?"

"Your Highness, you... don't let me continue to feed the chickens and ducks?" Prius was slightly taken aback.

"Of course not, you are doing very well, so I hope you can bring more people into this business," Roland encouraged, "Next I plan to expand the scale of breeding dozens of times, relying solely on you and your family You can’t take care of it. After joining the city hall, you can pass on your experience to more people and guide them how to breed.”

With Lily's ability to sterilize and eliminate diseases, the most difficult difficulty in animal husbandry no longer exists. Not only chickens and ducks, but the breeding of large livestock such as cattle and sheep is obviously also in the prince's expansion plan.

"This is undoubtedly a great job, no less than the honor brought by being a knight." The prince paused, and then continued, "One day, eggs and poultry will be served on the dining table of every household in the Western Territory. , and seeing these delicious foods, everyone will remember your name firmly. What do you think?"

"I...willing to work for you." Prius Desa clenched his fists excitedly and bowed in response.
