At the beginning of the second month of winter, Barov walked into Roland's office with a stack of books under his arm.
As soon as he walked to the table, his eyes were attracted by a huge colorful picture on the table. "Is this... a map of the entire Western Region?"
"Not only the Western Region," Roland said with a smile. "It also includes a part of the Barbarian Land and the Misty Forest, especially this open space." He pointed to the area north of the Impassable Mountain Range, which was the Fertile Plains mentioned by Agatha. "At present, the explored area is nearly the size of three Western Regions. If we can reclaim it, it can support hundreds of thousands of people."
In order to completely eliminate the threat of Devil's Town, he asked Lightning and Maggie to scan the area and draw a map. Since Maggie could now carry Soroya to do the drawing, the map was more accurate. Although the mystery of the disappearance of Devil's Town remained unsolved, the good news was that there were no signs of a second enemy camp within 200 kilometers of Border Town.
"But there are not only demonic beasts in the Barbarian Land, but also... the terrible enemies you mentioned." Barov hesitated. "Isn't it too dangerous to reclaim the land in the northwest?"
"By that time, the First Army should also have the power to fight against the demons." Roland slowly moved his finger on the plain. "If we can't defeat these enemies, it doesn't matter where we build our territory."
Since the appearance of demon scouts in the Misty Forest, he realized that it was no longer suitable to hide the news. In order to avoid panic caused by sudden exposure, the prince revealed the existence of the demons to a few high-level officials. As far as the current situation was concerned, the reaction of the people was quite normal. Of course, he also slightly suppressed the strength of the demons, claimed that these enemies were basically equivalent to demonic hybrids, and did not reveal the history of the previous two Battles of Divine Will.
Roland knew that he could not stay at the border of the continent forever. Compared to the Four Kingdoms, the Barbarian Land... or the Fertile Plains, was a place worth managing. The explored area was only a corner of the entire plain. It was not hard to imagine how vast the territory occupied by human beings was during the second Battle of Divine Will.
He retracted his finger, rolled up the map, and put it aside. "Do you have anything to report?"
"Yes, Your Highness," Barov nodded and spread the book under his arm in front of the prince, "I have already drawn up a plan to expand the City hall according to your request."
"Oh? Let me see. "
In order to cope with the rapid growth of the territory after the construction of the city, Roland formulated a new framework for the future management organization according to the classification of the functional departments of the later government. Generally speaking, the entire upper echelons were divided into four parts: City hall, the army, the Security Bureau, and the Witch Union.
According to the expansion plan, the new City Hall would assume the role of the Cabinet or the State Council, and would also be the core organization of the entire territory. At that time, the number of employees would be increased to about 500, with six departments: finance, foreign affairs, education, agriculture, industry, and justice. New departments could be added at any time according to the needs. In addition, after Graycastle was unified, other cities could follow suit and set up corresponding subordinate organizations, which would be managed by City hall.
In addition to combat personnel, the army also had independent production departments and medical departments as logistical support. Each army would have a commander-in-chief, who was responsible for specific combat matters, and the highest authority of the army belonged to the commander-in-chief.
The Security Bureau was a secret organization hidden in the dark. Its funds were not allocated by City hall, and its members were not recorded in the files. Its main function was to monitor the territory's internal security and official corruption.
Finally, there was the Witch Union … Roland thought about this organization for a long time, and finally decided to count it as an independent department, rather than separate it and integrate the witches into other departments.
The reason was that some witches' abilities were so different before and after the evolution that they could work in multiple departments — for example, Anna and Soroya, from industry to agriculture, and then to national defense and education, they could play an important role.
Another point was that some witches did not have a job for the time being, but it did not mean that it would be the same in the future. Grouping them together could effectively avoid dampening their enthusiasm. This was also what Scroll and Vendy had mentioned to him.
He hoped that in the future, the Witch Union would be able to operate on its own, including accepting witches, checking their abilities, and assigning jobs.
"Can you recruit so many literate people?" Roland looked up and asked after he finished reading the City hall director's proposal. An organization of 500 people was definitely considered huge in this era, and it required everyone to be able to read documents, which was almost impossible to achieve in other territories — it might be possible to find so many literate people in the King's City, but the proud nobles would certainly not be willing to serve as an apprentice.
"With the addition of the new batch of graduates, there should be no problem," Barov replied. "Now from the feedback of the recruitment announcement, the position in City hall is the most popular."
"It seems that the popularity of being a civil servant is the same in any world …" Roland could not help but raise the corner of his mouth. "In that case, let's recruit people according to the proposal. The next task is to formulate the laws."
"As long as you give me the main provisions you mentioned last time, I'll gather the apprentices to complete the rest as soon as possible," the City hall director said in high spirits.
"That's called the basic law," Roland smiled. It seemed that the witches were not the only model workers who were interested in their work — for a new regime, this was a good sign.
"By the way, Your Highness," Barov said, "if we expand the size of the City hall according to the plan, the current house may not be able to accommodate so many people, can we …"
"Build a new City hall?" The prince nodded. "Of course, I'll arrange for Carr to carry it out." In the eyes of the subjects, this was equivalent to the face of the Lord — they rarely had the opportunity to step into the castle, but often went to the City hall to handle affairs, so a certain degree of luxury and style was still necessary. If it was too simple and close to the people, it would instead reduce the trust of the people.
After waiting for Barov to leave, Roland asked his guards to summon Prestisa, the Knight of the Elk Family.
Roland had not seen him for more than half a year, and he had obviously gained weight. His cheeks were glowing red, and it seemed that he was living a good life.
"Recently, there have been a lot of eggs and poultry in the Convenience Market, and it's all thanks to you," Roland said with a smile. "It seems that you're really good at raising chickens and ducks."
"Haha …" He smiled a little embarrassedly. "Without your initial support, I wouldn't have been able to do this."
The path of breeding was not always smooth sailing. In the beginning, there was a fowl plague, which caused a large number of chickens to die. With the idea of paying his tuition, Roland did not throw him into the mine, but continued to buy chicken seedlings from the Stronghold and let him raise them. Now, Prius could be regarded as one of the irreplaceable talents in Border Town.
"I plan to let you work in the City hall under the Ministry of Agriculture. Are you willing?"
"Your Highness, you … don't want me to continue feeding chickens and ducks?" Prius was slightly startled.
"Of course not. You've done a good job, so I hope you can bring more people to invest in this industry," Roland encouraged him. "Next, I plan to expand the scale of breeding by dozens of times. You and your family won't be able to take care of everything. After you join the City hall, you can pass on your experience to more people and guide them on how to raise chickens. "
With Lily's ability to kill bacteria and get rid of diseases, the thorniest problem in animal husbandry no longer existed. Not only chickens and ducks, but also the breeding of large livestock such as cattle and sheep was obviously part of the prince's expansion plan.
"This is undoubtedly a great job, no less than the honor brought by the identity of a Knight." The prince paused and then said, "One day, eggs and poultry will be served on the dining table of every household in the Western Region, and when they see these delicious foods, they will firmly remember your name. What do you think? "
"I … am willing to serve you." Prius excitedly clenched his fist in front of his chest and bowed in response.
