As soon as I heard this voice, I knew it was Shabi, because this rainbow fart that has not changed for thousands of years is really lacking in creativity...
Bruno changed the topic and said: "But... having said that, water from afar cannot quench the thirst for nearness. It will probably take more than half a year until this publicity campaign has an effect..."
"Then what should we do?"
Although he still didn't quite understand what public opinion was, Old Ford still suppressed his doubts.
After all, my lord, the earl, has been saying some strange words lately.
"According to the laws of the Norman Empire, there is no personal dependence between civilians and nobles. In this case... then go to Sauron next door to trick some civilians into settling in Idar. Anyway, the fertile land on the south bank of the Idar River
It’s still very deserted, but civilians who move to Idar to settle there can obtain the right to use the land there!”
"But, we just signed a peace treaty with Earl Sauron..." Old Ford hesitated.
"Then there is a stipulation in this peace treaty that we cannot trick the common people of Sauron into coming to Idar?" Bruno asked rhetorically.
"No……"
"That's right! My Lord is determined to establish the largest community of migrant workers in the eastern part of the empire on the south bank of the Idar River! Not only will he recruit civilians from Sauron to settle and work in Idar, but after the road to the south is connected, he will also
Deceive workers from the Kingdom of Basel to come and settle in the Idar Territory!"
Old Ford said helplessly: "But now is the time for spring plowing and hiring, and Earl Sauron will definitely stop it."
"Block it? Why should he block it? Civilians are free people with independent rights. Forget it if it is other lords. Sauron and his army have been defeated, so why should he block it?"
"Go and write a letter to Count Sauron and tell him that if he blocks it, as a border noble enshrined by the royal family of the Norman Empire, this lord will do his best to protect the legal rights of the citizens of the Norman Empire from infringement. In addition,
If he really dares to make trouble in secret, then this Lord suggests adding a few supplementary clauses to the Treaty of Solenberg."
"Understood, sir." Old Ford replied.
The discussion on the population issue has ended. The next thing to talk about is the management system that has made Bruno hesitate for a long time.
After thinking about his words, Bruno said: "With this meeting, I plan to divide the scope of authority of everyone here."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone cheered up and raised their ears, ready to listen carefully to what Bruno was going to say next.
"After the Battle of the Grand Highlands that took place a few days ago, Idar's territory extended northward to the banks of the Sauron River, expanding its area by a full third of its original size."
"But at the same time, a problem has also been exposed, and that is the low efficiency of administrative management in Idar Territory. The lowest subordinate officials in Idar Territory do not have a clear scope of authority at all. They may be called by Old Ford to settle accounts today.
, I will be asked by Sabi to shovel shit again the next day, and maybe a few days later I will be transferred by White Barrell to supervise the production team and record work points."
Although the lowest-level officials in the entire Norman Empire followed this pattern, it gave Bruno a headache because it was so confusing!
Old Ford and others nodded slightly. Although their Earl was often unreliable, this matter was also reasonable.
Because at some times, several of the people here were mobilizing lower-level officials, and there was even a situation where a low-level Idar subordinate officer was recruited by two people at the same time.
"I think what I said makes sense, but I don't know... how does the earl plan to change it?" Old Ford said cautiously.
After all, this is a major matter involving the normal operation of the entire Idar Territory, and there is absolutely no room for error.
"According to my considerations, the first step is to clearly divide the responsibilities of you people, and then make rectifications from top to bottom." Bruno said.
Old Ford naturally agreed with Bruno's proposal. After all, he was already old, and now he would have to go through everything that Idar led, which was really too much for him.
"Let me talk about my tentative plan first..." Bruno picked up a roll of parchment and said in a deep voice: "Starting from today, Lobida will be the financial officer of Idar Territory, and he will be mainly responsible for calculating the income of Idar Territory.
Financial revenue and expenditure, and taxes collected and paid on schedule.”
Bruno looked around. Seeing that no one had any opinions, he continued: "Sam Layton will serve as the commander-in-chief of the Idar Standing Army and be responsible for taking charge of the Idar Standing Army. At the same time, the Guards will no longer be under the control of Sam Layton.
The fifty bodyguards of the cavalry obey directly my lordship's orders.
"As for Shabi, he is quite experienced in the job of shoveling excrement now, so he will be responsible for the agricultural production of Idar and the composting of manure. In addition, the fishing matters at the harbor terminal will also be under the control of Shabi."
"White Barrel is fully responsible for the construction of various projects in the Idar Territory. In addition to the Namur Fortress, the five roads planned to be built must also be put on the agenda."
"Arnel Blood is a special mage consultant for Idarland, responsible for the research of magic circles and the production of enchanted weapons. As for the manpower, he is still the bare commander. Let's see how many mages or mage apprentices you can fool.
…”
"As for the old Ford, sea salt, sugar making workshop, brewing workshop, cement workshop and the paper making workshop under preparation, these are all under your control. Remember, no technology can be leaked!"
"Yes!" Old Ford said seriously.
"At the same time, Idar Territory has established a new agency called the Anti-Smuggling Bureau, with Old Ford as the director. Its main task is to protect these workshops and salt fields in Idar Territory, and at the same time, it must also strictly crack down on private smuggling and selling of grain.
Behavior."
"As for Liszt... he will temporarily serve as the steward of the lord's castle, but he will only be responsible for managing matters within the lord's castle. In the future, an Idar Immigration Management Bureau may be established, which will also be taken care of by Liszt."
"Okay, these are the arrangements I'm going to talk about. Do you have any questions?"
In fact, Bruno originally wanted to add special supervision, but the stall led by Idar is still too small and he cannot spare so many manpower for the time being, so he can only put it aside for the time being and wait for a while to set up a separate business.
After all, ideas and creativity such as seawater salting came from Bruno, and no one here knows these technologies from the previous life better than Bruno.
Therefore, no one can fool Bruno's eyes with any small tricks. Moreover, almost everyone here can be trusted by Bruno 100%, so he doesn't have to worry about anything going wrong.
