Chapter 582 Elson Central Intelligence...

"Palling Trading Company was the first net I cast down. Now that they have a firm foothold, it means that we can continue to deploy new intelligence agencies and departments along these nets."

Roddy was very satisfied with Camilla's thinking, pointed to Nora and said, "I'm going to set up the 'Elson Central Intelligence Agency', and merge the original information collection work of Palling Firm into this department, and then train people who are loyal to me. Specialized intelligence personnel, who specialize in intelligence gathering and investigation activities, are specifically tasked by operational members like her."

This is actually a replica of "East Factory", "FBI" or "National Security Agency". Now that Roddy has become the prime minister of the cabinet and is going to stand on the stage to develop the entire Efta, he must have first-hand intelligence rights. If the leader becomes "blind"... Just look at what happened to Charles II.

The political structure of this world is still very primitive, and there is no truly comprehensive and systematic intelligence agency in general. Rody knew this very well, so he immediately planned to build an intelligence department that was loyal to him. Whether it was farming and developing silently to make a fortune or going to war in an all-out way, intelligence was always the top priority.

"But the current manpower in Elson City...is not enough."

"Didn't I start asking people to find talents a long time ago, and there will be more in the future. Now let you lead the establishment of the department, and I will tell you the direction and program. I remember that there should be a few suitable people in the tiefling." Candidates for the job, but they didn't show up?"

Roddy looked at Luther, who nodded in embarrassment: "There are always people who don't want to work..."

"It's okay, they will know what to do after a few days of starvation. Remember, in Elson City, there will never be pies in the sky. If I don't work hard, I won't care if I starve to death, understand?"

Luther nodded respectfully, and Roddy turned to say: "You need to sign an agreement to join the intelligence department. The salary is currently 60 silver coins per month. In the future, there will be subsidies for going out to work, and there will be rewards for completing special tasks. It's just more and more. I agree. If you sign now, I will advance the first month's salary in advance."

Nora naturally nodded and agreed to this. Now she knows how high Rody's status is. He is not only the owner of such a big city, but also has a powerful army... Even if Rody didn't ask, she didn't feel that she There is room for refusal, but thinking that Roddy specifically asked about her wishes, Nora felt that this feeling of being respected made her dizzy.

Roddy asked Luther to translate the agreement. Nora joined the intelligence department. This is a lifelong contract, and it also includes a "non-disclosure agreement". However, behind so many boxes is the preferential treatment that others cannot match. Salary, benefits, holidays, and housing are all available. Nora still doesn't understand what this means, but it won't take long for her to know what kind of department she has entered.

Even if this department is only at the theoretical stage now,

Not even an office space has been circled.

Then Rody signaled that Luther could take Nora back first, and before the two left, he did not forget to add: "By the way, all tieflings, whether they work or not, have Blingar lessons to learn at night. Someone will inform you that there will be no shortage of one person at that time, do you understand?"

"Guaranteed to complete the task, my lord."

The door of the laboratory closed, and Roddy sat back in the armchair. Finding Camilla looking at himself in a daze, he asked, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

It was only then that Camilla realized that she had been staring at Roddy just now, and turned her face away in embarrassment: "I'm just curious... You said you were just a scout, but now it seems that your cognition and vision are worse than that of Roddy. Those aristocrats are much more widespread. Opening classes for the whole people to popularize word education, this kind of thing is impossible for other aristocrats to do..."

There are currently two schools in Elson City, one is "Elson Elementary School" for the "basic education" of civilians, teaching characters and simple mathematics. One is the "Elson School of Magic", which is used to train gifted magicians.

The former is not only free, but also provides free dinner after each class, but only those who pass the class assessment can eat it. At the same time, notices were posted around the classroom, recruiting people who could write and write to enter the newly established "City Hall" as clerks, and their salary was much higher than that of farming.

There is enough food to satisfy their hunger, and they can use it to find higher-paying jobs, so the number of people who come to "Elson Elementary School" has always been large. Although more than half of the students chose to give up after three classes due to various reasons, in the end, a large number of people gradually learned to understand characters and have basic mathematical knowledge.

"Because most of the nobles themselves are not very smart. Think about it, they have monopolized the dissemination of knowledge, resulting in a group of illiterates in the territory. What else can the illiterate do besides farming?" Luo Di said plainly, but the actual situation is of course Not only that, but the enfeoffment system and low productivity are the main problems currently facing him. He did not discuss his views on the system with Camilla, but emphasized: "It is foreseeable that what Elson will lack the most in the future is two One is a coolie like an orc, building the infrastructure for our development, and the other is a person with knowledge..."

"Then what should I do next? I feel that if your idea is to be realized, I can't manage it alone." As the manager of the entire city, Camilla is now extremely curious about the changes that Rody has brought to the city. . She feels that Elson City will definitely become the core of the entire kingdom in the future, not only because it is the most brilliant cultural heritage of the high elves, but also because of Roddy's increasingly subversive ideas.

As smart as she is, she has already felt the tip of the iceberg of huge influence from the current government order.

"Next... production will be resumed first after the war is over, and do you remember the 'newspaper' I mentioned to you?"

*****

"Impossible? Moore, you actually told me it's impossible?"

Holding a few letters in his hand, Charles II almost slapped the table directly.

Thanks to the fact that this is his study room, this gaffe was not seen by other nobles. Charles II has always regarded himself as a strong city, but when he heard that Moore rejected his proposal to launch a war against Efta, he finally couldn't help but say a few serious words:

"After being attacked by the orcs, Efta's troops were greatly reduced. Now their main forces are gathered on the northwest side, and the eastern defense line is empty. Why can't they attack now? Moore, are you scared by the orcs?"

"His Majesty…"

Earl Moore bowed his head and pleaded guilty. He knew that Charles II would try to speak as little as possible when he was angry, otherwise both parties might not be able to get down. However, he glanced at Mirno next to him with a hidden look, and Moore sighed in his heart: The emperor must have been confused by the opaque information, otherwise how could he be so obsessed with recovering Efta?
