In the valley, the flame wheat mother plant looks like a small red tree from a distance, with a height of three meters, while the other daughter plants are only one meter high. The mother plant stands high in the middle of the wheat field, which is particularly conspicuous.
Due to the twenty fire element crystals obtained by accident, after the Flame Mai advanced, it absorbed enough fire elements to complete its evolution. The height also rose directly from the original one meter to three meters, and the trunk became as thick as an arm.
It is almost out of the category of wheat.
About ten acres of land around the wheat fields have also been reclaimed, which is prepared for the flame wheat mother plant. After this advancement, as long as the seeds on the wheat ears mature, the flame wheat can be expanded to ten acres through the wheat spirit.
land.
Allen tried to sense the situation of Xiaoyi in the flame wheat, but did not get a response from Xiaoyi. However, Allen noticed that Xiaoyi was constantly absorbing fire elements into his body. He could find that Xiaoyi's evolution was not over yet, but there should be no big problem.
However, the temperature of the flame wheat mother plant is getting higher and higher. If Allen were not a knight of the fire element, he might not be able to stand the high temperature.
After realizing that Xiaoyi was fine, Allen planned to return to Qinghuang Fort first. He still had some important things to explain to Andy and Fabia, who was a political officer.
After returning to the castle, Andy arrived within ten minutes. Andy lived very close to the castle, so he arrived earlier than Fabia, who was probably still on the way.
It happened that he and Andy had something to say and it was not convenient for others to know, so before Fabia arrived, Allen said to Andy: "How is the investigation about Ji'an?"
"Lord Baron, based on the investigation, I think Ji'an is the most suitable candidate, and he reached the limit of cavalry ten years ago. I don't believe he has no idea about advanced knights."
"Okay, just do it if you think you can. By the way, don't let your identity be discovered. It's best to disguise yourself as someone from the Wooden Leader."
That's right, Allen planned to use an opportunity to break through the knights to bribe Ji'an to kill Kurit. Ji'an had reached the limit of the cavalry ten years ago, but he had never been able to break through with the elemental medicine.
Allen guessed that Kurit might have a twisted heart because he could not break through the knights. It was not difficult for the wealthy Iron Stone Leader to gather an elemental potion, but Ji'an was still at the limit of the cavalry. The reason can be imagined.
The intelligence officers sent by Andy also discovered that Ji'an was secretly collecting elemental crystals. This shows that he is not die-hardly loyal to Currit and also wants to break through the knights. This is why Andy chose him.
"By the way, after success, don't let Ji'an act without authorization. First, try to spread the news about Baron Jean and Baron Currit to all territories, and then deal with Currit after the incident has fermented." Allen wanted to say.
Baron Jean takes the blame.
As long as the conflict between the two is known to other nobles and Baron Currit dies, the first target of other nobles' suspicion will be Baron Jean. Even if he tries to deny it, it is useless. Baron Jean will have to take the blame even if he is not blamed.
Originally, Allen thought that Jean would lose his temper after knowing that the territorial caravan was massacred, and would directly lead his troops to chop off Currit's head. This would have the opportunity to lure Viscount Bernard out from behind Currit. Unfortunately, Jean was afraid.
, there has been no movement so far, so Allen has no choice but to take action on behalf of Baron Jean.
Seeing Fabia rushing this way from a distance, Andy said goodbye and left.
"Lord Baron, I'm here!" Fabia was panting, sweating profusely, and her fat face looked like it had been soaked by the rain.
"Don't worry, it's not an emergency. Fabia, you are very old. You must pay attention to your health in the future. If you have an accident, how do you want me to explain it to Mrs. Lisa?"
"Yes! Yes! Lord Baron is right." Fabia wiped the sweat from his face and replied with a smile.
"Today, I came to see you not for the territory's government affairs, but for the territory's population."
"I remember you said last time that my father conducted a census a long time ago. I called you here today to conduct a complete census of the territory."
"This time, both civilians and serfs will be included in the census, and each household will be counted, including how many people there are, what their names are, when they were born, how old they are, and their home address, and they will be engraved on a wooden sign.
Everyone has one, which serves as a form of identification."
"By the way, we also need to register this information and store it carefully."
"Lord Baron, this... workload is too big. It will probably require a lot of manpower." Fabia looked embarrassed. The workload was really too big. Nine villages and one town were not a small number.
"I will try my best to allocate manpower to you. You and Ting Siwu can count each village one by one."
"Yes, Lord Baron." Fabia knew that the Lord Baron had already decided on this matter, so she could only nod.
Watching Fabia leave with a grimace, Allen knew that producing household registration statistics was complicated and laborious, but the form was better than people, so he had to hurry up.
By adding fuel to the flames, the Musen Territory is definitely about to fall into chaos. Allen plans to conduct a census of the territory's population before the chaos breaks out in the Musen Territory, restructure the territory management organization, create more detailed departments, mobilize the entire territory, and strengthen
own control and management of the territory.
The census is the first step in Allen's plan, and it is also a very important step.
When he first came to the other world, Allen found it difficult to accept many things. However, he gradually adapted to it over time. However, adapting does not mean agreeing with certain things. For example, the legal system is not perfect, and there is basically no legal system in Qinghuang Territory. If the villagers
If someone does something bad, the village chief will usually punish him on his behalf.
There is no simple public security management system, and littering is very common on the streets of the town.
Talents are scarce, there are no schools, there are too few people who are literate, and there are even fewer people who can calculate accounts. Due to poor conditions in the territory, there are very few people who learn literacy.
With few talents, Allen will have fewer people to manage the territory. Even if he becomes a viscount or earl in the future, if there are no talents available, the development of the territory will not work.
Allen counted the people he can use now. The three Barton brothers can serve as guards and strong generals. Andy has become one of his generals, responsible for the intelligence department. Antonio is now the captain of the Cavaliers. Cooley is in the finance department.
Kaili is assisted in the office, and Fabia is in the government affairs office. The village chiefs of the nine villages can only be considered qualified. They are highly respected in their respective villages, but their talents are only average.
Among them, Butler Carey and Fabia are too old, and Allen is ready to let them retire and enjoy their old age.
The most lacking thing in the territory now is the personnel to manage the territory. As long as you fill up the talents, you will have people to help you manage the land you conquer.
…………
Allen had more and more plans for the territory in his mind, so he simply returned to the study and recorded everything he thought on paper. Although there were many plans, Allen could only start with the basics.
