After several days of thinking, Lant finally finalized the structure, and then held a meeting to arrange and implement it. He first listed all the positions and let his subordinates and cronies choose, and then listened to each candidate's vision for the territory and positions one by one. Finally, a practical time is set to allow the subordinates to get into the state and begin to perform their duties during the development process.
Yesterday, Wendy and the earth elf returned to Lot Castle. They had completed the hardening of the road between the two territories and could successfully participate in the joint meeting of the territories.
So on the afternoon of the 20th, Lant held a joint meeting in the first-floor hall of Roth Castle. He chose this place instead of the main tent because the participants also included the barbarian tribal leaders, cavalry captains, and all intermediate knights. and junior knights, as well as all human stewards.
"Everyone, all the materials were released yesterday. I think Laniya, Makoto and Nancy have explained to everyone what each position does. Once everyone is sure, you can start registration. I will take the exam after Publish the appointment and dismissal list. After the list is confirmed, everyone can take office." In fact, all the contents have been announced by Laniya and others, and many department positions have been filled with non-magic people, such as finance, clerical, etc. and the census department, including all the original housekeepers in the territory.
Lant specifically said this at the joint meeting to allow his subordinates to develop a procedural approach, that is, after the joint meeting, the announced matters can be implemented.
"Sir?" Kuryagan was the first to speak.
"Can those of us from the Benma tribe serve under the governor of Yeqi City?"
"Of course, everyone signs up based on their interests and expertise." Lant looked at the blacksmith.
"Now if I ask you to herd sheep, you must know how to do it."
"Hahaha" the scene in the hall gradually relaxed.
"Everyone, every department under the leadership of Ye Qicheng has an adjutant, and the adjutant is a non-demon person." Lant began to fully explain his idea. This plan was made by himself, although he made reference to some official positions in the royal capital. , but there are also a lot of references to home.
"I will temporarily serve as the consul, financial officer and Quanxu officer of Yeqicheng. Laniya will serve as the consul's adjutant and Quanxu's adjutant. Zhenqin, the financial adjutant, and Nancy, the education adjutant, have held these positions before. , I think everyone has no objections." When Lant introduced it, the subordinates present were a little confused. Even Laniya, who was the first to know Lant's idea and had been discussing it for several days, was also very interested in this dual feudal system. for surprise.
It is the first time in the entire continent that the barbarians retain their original tribal system and at the same time combine it with the human lord system.
"Everyone can sign up for the remaining positions in each department. Each person can apply for more than one position. I will talk to you one by one later to determine the final arrangement. If there is no one in the chief officer position, it can be left vacant temporarily. If you have any recommendations, If you are a demon or a demon possessor, you can tell me." Seeing that his followers below had no doubts, Lant was very pleased. It seemed that the previous preparations were quite effective.
"Anyway, I hope that before departure, everyone can enter the new position. If there is anything inappropriate, you can adjust it in time." After saying that, Lant turned and left, leaving Laniya to preside over the subsequent discussion.
"Uh... Lanya," Peter Maned Wolf only dared to ask after seeing Lant leave.
"Can you explain what the Lord just said? He spoke too fast, and I didn't understand it."
"Yes," Kuryagan also kept scratching his head.
"The adults told me several times, but I didn't understand them at all."
"That's why there is both the Benma tribe and the governor of Ye Qicheng. Aren't these two the same person?"
"Can this be done according to the system of the human kingdom on the plains?" A barbarian leader was very worried.
"I think that since we are nobles of the Dragon Kingdom, we should not follow the traditions of the original tribe." Another knight retorted.
"Everyone!" Laniya realized something was wrong and shouted loudly. Everyone subconsciously became quiet.
"The Viscount has also told me for a few days. Although I don't fully understand his thoughts, I think his idea is very subtle." Laniya knew that she, a non-demon, could make many demon-possessed people The time to sit down and listen to your own explanation is limited, so you must make good use of this little time in today's meeting.
"As this leader said, you have lived on the grassland for a long time. Naturally, you think that following the path of human nobles is not feasible, so your Excellency allows the original grassland barbarians to continue to live a tribal life." Looking at several barbarian leaders Everyone nodded, and Laniya continued.
"But even in the past few hundred years, we barbarians did not enter the ruins of Yeqi City to live, because in Yeqi City, only by following the rules of human nobles can this pearl city on the plain operate better. Get up." Laniya in the big tent used all her vocabulary to explain Lant's ideas to the many barbarians and knights. Albert and Ben Call on the other side were silent, sitting and watching a girl talking.
There is not only one meeting that belongs to Lant. In the evening, he also has a separate meeting in the Lord's Mansion of his own.
In the future, the Lord's Mansion will be divided into two parts, operating respectively in Lot Castle and Yeqi City. Fortunately, the Roth territory was already very small, and one devil-free butler was enough. Lant directly retained the son of the former Roth Castle steward, Vichil, as the new housekeeper of Roth Castle, another of the old housekeepers. His son Brenner went north with Lant.
Not only the housekeeper, but also the territory's accounts, materials, and education must be re-divided. Most of the valuable materials in Roth Castle have been sent to Lant's big tent and are ready to be moved with Lant at any time.
. . . The two suns are setting in the west, and the sky is gradually darkening. In the east of Yeqi City, a rather steep mountain range separates the east and west of the city like a wall. The mountains are separated by layers of high walls. Only a few closed city gates seem to be able to enter the mountains. Outside the city gate due west of the mountains There is a square where Neil's team has been camping for many days.
"Neil, it seems like one of us didn't come back today." Neal's crony Blue Frog ran over. This boy who once patrolled with Neal is now the best hunter in the camp.
"Those new ones no longer want to stay."
"I know," Neil frowned. He had been missing for three consecutive days. The barbarians were in great awe of the city's ruins, and they all said that the ghosts in the city had devoured them.
"What do you think about this?"
"There are some weird things in this city." Blue Frog looked at Neil, thought for a moment and then leaned into Neil's ear,
"There are hunters!"
"Yeah" Neil looked at the mountains in front of him,
"They have to show their tails."
"Everyone, there is indeed something strange in this city. Let's pack up our things and get out!" Neil shouted loudly, but his eyes occasionally glanced at the surrounding architectural ruins.
"Very good!"
"Yes, Chief!" Neil's proposal received unanimous support. The successive disappearances frightened many of the new barbarians that Neil had conquered. They could not deny that the Benma tribe was the ruler of Ye Qi, but they did not believe so.
Now that the leader has spoken, everyone can finally escape from this ghost place. Dozens of barbarians in the square prepared their luggage like autumn leaves sweeping away leaves, mounted their black-scaled horses and left. In a small building on the south side of the square, a pair of chestnut eyes were watching them.
"This group of barbarians has left as expected. If we don't leave, we will run out of food." The people following them sighed. They took the risk to attack three barbarians in a few days and finally forced these barbarians away.
"There's nothing you can do. Go back to the palace, get your things, and leave. I've had enough of this place." In the middle of the house, there was a tall figure with brown hair, a hooked nose, and cloudy eyes. Staring in the direction of the window.
"The barbarians fear this city, but the people from the Dragon Kingdom don't. They should be here in two days."
"clear!"
