Among these subordinates, only those with a fiefdom of one city would have enough strength and money to slowly build their own fortress and tower.

Nan'anpu couldn't wait to wait for the canonization to be over, ask for a leave of absence from Oran, and immediately go to inspect the territory in the east!

His wooden castle will have a garden where children can play, a chapel where weekly services are held, a granary full of golden wheat, a stable for fat poultry, and a wooden fence to protect against enemies and thieves...

By the way, the most important thing is to build a lover’s room!

At the same time, he will also have his own "butler"!

He has also become a lord, lord, and a noble knight!

Olan looked at his subordinates and did not expect that Nan Anpu, who was already calm, would be so elated at this moment.

But what he said next made Nanamp give up the idea of ​​taking leave.

Because the court of Oran was established!

The Royal Court of Ella, which actually controlled two counties and nominally controlled eight counties, also had a palace, but compared to the powerful kings in the south, Ella also established a simple palace.

The most important palace position in the kingdom was called the Chancellor.

There are two differences between the "palaces" in the world of God.

If the power of a king who has not accepted the coming-of-age ceremony is divided,

He will be assisted by a "regent" minister, who will be called the "King's Shield".

There will be a round emblem on the collar of his shoulder - the shape of a fist. The fist represents strength and defense, in order to protect the weak monarch until the monarch becomes an adult and has enough strength to take charge of his own affairs.

Another type of noble appointed by the adult king. The round emblem on the shoulder collar - a shape of five fingers spread out, indicating that it can help the king hold (master) everything. This minister will be called the "King's Hand".

Below the king's hand (shield), there are usually five stewards. They usually give up their territory and stay with the king for a long time to accept orders.

Master of the Seal: The main authority is diplomacy, so it is also called the "Master of Diplomacy".

All matters such as alliances, marriages, and canonizations are handled by them. They are the most distinguished among the five ministers. The palace minister usually holds this position concurrently, so this position is also called the chief steward (minister).

Military Commander: Military command and dispatch, the main person in charge during combat, and responsible for militia training. When there are problems with public security, they will send out special teams to clean up thieves. The Commander-in-Chief ranks second in the sequence.

Treasurer: Responsible for dealing with the treacherous and cunning territorial citizens and nobles, digging out the tax revenue that should be paid to the king from their money pots, and assisting in various constructions of the royal territory. His duties overlap slightly with the bishop.

Intelligence Chief: Any unruly behavior that harms the king must be destroyed. They control an intelligence guard, but most kings don't have the spare money. Most of them borrow the king's private soldiers.

Intelligence managers are hated by other managers. Their advice is often murder and sabotage, or stealing intelligence from other countries, or kidnapping important people. They have a very bad reputation and are ranked last.

Kingdom Bishop: Responsible for dealing with the Roman Catholic Church, as well as being responsible for all religious activities in the surrounding areas and within the territory.

According to church law, the tax rate they paid was lower than that of secular lords. The remaining money was popular for lending and annexing more land. They slightly overlapped with the duties of the financial controller. They were also the main disseminators of medical skills and education in the territory.

The bishop corresponds to the world of God, and his status is not the same as that of the other four stewards, but actually ranks third, almost the same as the steward of finance.

Oran has a population of more than 10,000, two barons, dozens of knights, and few talents. He thought for a long time, and this time he put ability a little more than loyalty.

But his subordinates are very biased, and there is still not much difference after changing them.

In the simplified version of the palace, there are five ministers in charge, and they will follow wherever the lord lives.

They don't have their own office space. When they have meetings, they go to the lord's hall, collect useless things, put the tables and chairs on top of the sheepskin map, and then start hunting where they want.

As an earl, Oran certainly does not have the hand of the king, so the keeper of the seal he appointed is the person he values ​​most.

But this position is unqualified for those who are illiterate and have no long-term plans.

So... there is no shortage!

There is nothing we can do, they are all a group of extremely bellicose talents.

"Fake claims" and "diplomatic plans", Oran will do these things first.

The second position is the military commander. This position is divided into two parts. One is responsible for his own security protection, which is the "Captain of the Guards".

Oran gave this position to Kunsang. His territory was close to Oran, he was ruthless, had a reputation for evil, and was very loyal, so it was very suitable for him to protect himself.

The other part is the "Deputy Military Controller", which Oran is assigned to Nanding. His territory is on the border, so that he can better mobilize manpower.

Neither position is higher or lower.

Oran actually wants to establish his own "knights", or "robbers", specifically for friendly exchanges with heretics and occasional free sex.

Today in the Catholic world, there is no such armed group.

However, many semi-independent military groups have emerged.

They are all located on the border and arise in the context of conflicts with other countries or pagans.

For example, in the Imberia Peninsula at this moment, the special profession of "mercenaries" has emerged.

Oran estimated that the establishment of the Knights would cost a lot of money, so he could only put it down for now and talk about it later.

Kunsang and Nanding came out at the same time. They stood on the left and right, and then knelt down on one knee. Olan used both his left and right hands to pat their shoulders, entrusting them with important tasks.

As for the financial controller, it seems that he can only be appointed to Nanamp. He was originally one of the leaders of the guild. He was proficient in writing and had studied for many years. Although he did not understand Latin theology, he was also familiar with Danish Vikings and Franks. The written language of man.

Nanamp is very familiar with the tax situation in the territory, and this son Oran gives it to him.

Nan'anpu was first granted a territory, and then became the financial controller. He felt that his whole body was light and his soul was about to ascend to heaven!

I have restrained my desires for many years, but once the day of catharsis comes, I find it difficult to control myself.

As for the "Intelligence Manager"... there are still no talents. This position is quite special. Sometimes the king will give it to his female relatives (lover) or even his wife.

When communicating in bed, discuss with your lover or wife who to poison or cause an accident.

In Ella's royal court, this position is controlled by his wife Hai'an, so Hai'an's power also scares Ella. He needs to discuss many things with his wife and dare not take matters into his own hands.

Olan set up an "investigation team" and divided his private soldiers directly under his jurisdiction into fifteen people.

This position went to Armand the Calm.

He is considered a decent subordinate, and his force is not as terrible as Kun Sang and Nan Ding.

But he is considered outstanding, and he knows a lot of words. From all aspects, he can be entrusted with many things, and his loyalty is within Olan's control.

Armand himself also had private soldiers in the territory. He was overjoyed when he heard about this appointment. He had his own way to expand his power.

As for Rudd the Strong, Oran finally awarded him the title of "Baron the Strong".

He also secretly promised that if he conquers the north in the future, as long as it is land adjacent to his territory, he will give priority to the new territory.

In other words, if he wins against Yewei County, Ladd will have the first place to name the territory.

This reward can be high or low. If Oran really takes over a piece of land and even becomes the master of Yewei County, Ladd's power will increase unprecedentedly.

There was another person that Oran had not forgotten, and that was Tuman. Since he had special expertise, Oran kept him here to train the militiamen and palace guards in throwing skills, and gave him the position of "infantry captain."

He wanted to learn the throwing technique.

At the same time, it was also discovered that Tuman had a good grasp of distance and his bow skills were also very good (in order to return to the forefront of the battle, Tuman now draws more than 100 bows a day).

If Tuman can become a marksman again, there will be a place for him in the future Longbow team.

Craftsmen, theologians, astrologers, navigators, weapons merchants, Oran still wants these special talents!

He is confident that there will be, and he will write a "White Eagle Vassal Law Detailed Rules" in the near future to begin to stipulate the obligations and rights of these vassals.

Everything went according to plan.

When everyone knelt down and swore loyalty once again, Oran thought to himself,

"Old Viking, those who disobey, and the rebels, let Uncle Ben die!"
