When a confused Wagner was invited to the lord's castle by his servants, he didn't know what was happening.
As a commoner at the lowest level, this was Wagner's first time stepping into a lord's castle.
Therefore, at this moment, he was feeling extremely nervous.
"Your Majesty the Earl..."
The moment he saw Bruno, he fell at Bruno's feet. This was his wife's savior!
Although it was Dr. Doug Batalov who actually performed the surgery, in Wagner's understanding, if it weren't for Bruno's order and care, how could his wife have been personally treated by the military doctor led by Idar?
If it weren't for the blessing of the Earl, how could his wife survive the operation?
After all...the success rate of surgery in this era is so high!
Therefore, all of this is thanks to the Earl in front of me!
"Get up quickly!" Bruno said.
Hearing this, Wagner stood up carefully and looked around nervously.
This is Bruno's study, but... the Earl's room is really plain and simple!
This is far from what Wagner had previously imagined.
In Wagner's opinion, shouldn't the room of an aristocratic gentleman be resplendent with gems and gold everywhere he looks?
But here...
Since Bruno had been living in the Hanging Garden before, the study room in the Lord's Castle only had the simplest sets of furniture, desks, bookshelves...
Therefore, in Wagner's eyes, the image of this count became taller and taller!
The Earl of Idar is indeed a good nobleman who always thinks of the common people!
I'm afraid... His Excellency, the Earl, he must have the people of Idar in his heart even when he is dining and sleeping...
"What do you think of the current situation in Idar Territory?" Bruno asked.
"This...thanks to your good leadership, Lord Count, everything is going well in the Idar Territory. Compared with other noble territories, it is a paradise-like place." Wagner replied.
Yo ho!
This guy is pretty good at talking!
"I plan to give you a task!" Bruno said solemnly.
"The lives of the villain's wife and children were given by the earl. As long as the villain can do it, he will do his best to do it for the earl. Even if it is temporarily impossible, he must do everything he can to fulfill the earl's instructions.
!" Wagner said decisively.
Hearing this, Bruno couldn't help but nodded.
good!
I was indeed right, Wagner was indeed a trustworthy guy!
"Actually, it's not a big deal. I plan to form a police force in Idar Territory and you will be in charge of it for the time being. How about it?"
Hearing Bruno's words, Wagner couldn't help being stunned.
Originally, he thought that the earl would let him do some extremely difficult things, but he didn't expect that he would be promoted!
Although Wagner was just a civilian and had no idea what police meant, he was keenly aware of the other words contained in the count's words, police...troops!
In today's Idar Territory, the only ones that can be described as troops are the Idar Standing Army and the Idar Navy.
This is an important right-hand man for Idarland!
It's just... I can only write a few words, how can I shoulder such a heavy responsibility?
Seemingly sensing Wagner's concerns, Bruno said to Wagner: "There is no need to feel any psychological burden. This police force is similar to the patrols in big cities. It is only responsible for maintaining law and order in the territory and dealing with people's conflicts.
It’s just a dispute between us.”
Hearing this, Wagner couldn't help but feel a little relieved. Although this position still sounded a bit scary, it also made him feel a little more at ease.
Immediately afterwards, Bruno explained many aspects of the police force to Wagner, from recruitment to training to the official start of patrols and investigation. In all of this, Bruno only gave him extremely limited support.
, then everything needs to be grasped and completed by Wagner himself.
In short, Bruno has put the opportunity in Wagner's hands. If Wagner can seize it, it will be good.
But if Wagner did not give an answer that satisfied Bruno, then he would not mind letting Wagner return to the steel factory and continue to be his model worker.
After all... just like Bruno said, he was only temporarily responsible for the establishment of the Idar police force.
There are many people in the Idar Territory, and there are also many people who are loyal to Bruno. For civilians like Wagner, it is not enough to be loyal alone, but also to be capable!
Otherwise, why would Bruno allow Wagner to make the leap from the common class to the ruling class?
Therefore, Wagner must show abilities that match his status!
Moreover, the reason why Bruno wanted Wagner to try this new position was not just because Wagner was loyal to him, but also because of other considerations.
With the continuous influx of civilians from the outside world, the proportion of local residents in Idar is gradually decreasing. However, most of the people who hold more important positions in the Idar Territory are native Idar people.
Although there are no clues yet, if material life and spiritual life gradually become richer, will there be any resentment between the two?
And allowing Wagner, a commoner from the Solon Territory, to hold such a position can allow many lively immigrants to see the hope hidden in the Idar Territory.
This may make them realize that the Idar Territory can not only provide a stable living environment, but also allow them to complete a class leap!
"Don't worry, Earl, I will definitely try my best to make the police force in Idar's territory worthy of Earl's cultivation!" Wagner said in a deep voice.
After sending away Wagner, one thing that Bruno had always been thinking about was finally over. But before officially heading to the Almis Mountains, Bruno didn't only have this one thing to do.
educate!
The process of recruiting police officers made Bruno realize very clearly that there are too many illiterates in Idar!
Perhaps, for those commoners and serfs who spent all day digging for food from the fields, learning to read and write was a very difficult thing.
But Bruno couldn't wait any longer.
Only when a person learns knowledge, at least learns to read and write, can he gradually know how to think.
Although Bruno has always regarded himself as the owner of the Order of St. George, the uncertainty caused by the existence of the church on the future of the Idar Territory has always been a hurdle in Bruno's heart.
The people of Idar Territory can have their own beliefs, but they must not blindly pursue and believe in gods.
If circumstances permit, Bruno hopes to separate the faith of the people of Idar from the church and become a new religion.
Just like the religious reform led by Martin Luther in the previous life, believers in Idar territory can get rid of the shackles of the church and become true Idar people!
At least... it should be a religion that can be under its own supervision!
