"You should feel glad, Mr. Srifin, your Majesty is kind and just, and the Kingdom's laws are strict. The law punishes you and protects you. You only need labor, and you don't have to be buried in the soil like those who resist stubbornly," Lufeld said, taking out a document printed in advance, filling in the key information and signing the name, and then handing it over to one of the soldiers, "Send it to the prisoner-of-war camp first, and then to the Ministry of Road Construction, where there is a shortage of people. This is his identity certificate and handover document."

"Wait... wait a moment!" Srifin Tyrok realized at this time that the special methods of these dragon vassals were completely different from what he expected. None of the plans he had conceived when he was caught came in handy, which made him very unwilling, and he didn't know what the other party meant by "labor transformation". In the face of such things that he had never heard of, he was instinctively uneasy, "I am willing to be loyal to the great dragon-I still have a lot of property, all hidden in the cellar, I can take them out, sir, I can redeem myself, I know the rules of ransom... Sir, I have an idea... No, no, I have a suggestion..."

"Of course you will be loyal to His Majesty the Great Fire Kingdom, I am very sure of this, but that is after you have completed the labor reform," Lufeld interrupted Srifin Tyrock's words, with a formulaic smile on his face, and he took the previous documents from the soldiers. "But for your bold idea, the newly established Fire Kingdom has a complete set of laws - trying to bribe the executive officers and evade labor reform, and it is recommended to extend the labor period for two months."

Srifin Tyrok was stunned for a moment, and then watched helplessly as the document was handed over to the soldiers after some new entries were added.

"Mr. Srifin Tyrok, I wish you a smooth transformation and a glorious citizen of the Kingdom of Flame as soon as possible. Goodbye."

After the soldiers left with the former "Thorn Kingdom Intelligence Staff", Lufeld couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and said to his colleagues beside him: "How could they have thought that the intelligence network they once established in the Iron Principality had been caught up in one go, and in order to reduce labor time, his predecessors had already revealed all the news about their companions."

"This is still a senior intelligence officer," a consul shook his head, "our Road Construction Department is better than this kind of person to be able to capture any individual identity."

"I heard that the Iron and Steel Master is preparing to build a new department, and it is said that this new department will become a very hot department in the future."

"Why?"

"Don't you know? Your Majesty's will is passed down by your Majesty, so that we can do our best to assist him in opening a new department. All the power needed to be used by the new department needs to be given priority!"

"oh?"

As the most critical moment of establishing order at the beginning of the founding of the Flame Kingdom, the administrative construction and transformation projects of the Flame King Capital (formerly Dragon King City) were the top priority of Renault. Even if he had developed a very lazy habit, in this case, he would give priority to these work progress that William reported to him every day and checked for gaps.

The trainees who had been trained and screened by William and went to various places after strict tests did not disappoint Renault.

In the cave on the top of the mountain behind the lord's mansion, William, who came to report his work early in the morning, brought the information that the messenger had just sent to the Flame King City: "Master, this is a report sent from the Iron Main City - the young man named Lufeld has begun to count the land and population in the Iron Main City area. At the same time, the team of trainees under his command has controlled the remaining knights and entourages in the Iron Main City area, and has begun to receive the estate property that originally belonged to the Iron Duke and the Iron Nobles. All work is currently progressing smoothly."

"A capable young man...I remember you have high expectations for him," Renault nodded as he listened to William's report, "Well... it's orderly, it seems that he has not made a rash mistake."

"He is a steel duke, and knows the situation in his hometown - this is one of the reasons why he was chosen at the beginning," William had a hint of pride on his face, because almost all the younger consuls in the Government Affairs Office could be said to be an apprentice he brought out. Lufeld's success also means his success, but in addition to his pride, he was also a little worried, "It's just that the situation there is very complicated. The steel duke's steel family is an old family that has been entrenched in the Iron Duke for seven or eight hundred years. Their family has had a profound impact on the territory for generations. Even locals who understand the situation are difficult to buy. And to be honest... Although he is very smooth now, I am really not sure how long he can go."

Renault's pupils shrank: "You seem to be a little worried?"

"A family that has ruled for hundreds of years has a profound impact on their territory. Their rule has become a part of the lives of the local people. Even if the lord is gone, the 'inertial' left by the old lords is left everywhere among the lords... The reason why we successfully established the Flame King City before was because it was laying the foundation without any foundation, which made it much easier. The same was true for the transformation of the occupied areas before. The nobles in the occupied areas were directly demoted to civilians by us, and many of them were even sent to the Ministry of Road Construction for labor reform. But first of all, the influence of the steel family was an insurmountable hurdle..."

Renault was very calm about this. He said slowly: "The traditional aristocratic rule is almost orderly. In my opinion, their "management" of the territory is equivalent to no management. It is indeed difficult to establish the initial order in such a disorder, but on the other hand, it is precisely because there is no order that even a little improvement will promote the entire territory. These huge promotions can easily inspire the confidence of the wiser people among the people, so that they can start to support new decrees.

"The newly appointed consuls of the Iron City are currently at this stage. If they can effectively control the situation at the beginning of the implementation of the new policy and let prestigious people in the territory actively support it, then the subsequent construction will enter a virtuous cycle..."
