Chapter 139 The Devil's Rights

Barov returned to the city hall office and immediately closed the door tightly. One novel ≧ <﹤﹤<≦≦≤﹤﹤≦

Oh my god, he touched the God's Stone of Retaliation on his chest, His Highness is really possessed by the devil. Regarding this point, he still had some vague guesses before, but now he is almost certain that the person he just talked to will definitely not be the fourth prince.

A big change in personality or weird behavior can be understood, but suddenly comprehend things that have never been touched before, and master knowledge that has never been heard before? Such things only appear in myths and biographies, but in legends, gods possess mortals and lead mankind out of predicaments. When did devils like to do this?

Barov would not be surprised if Roland Wimbledon managed his territory like a king's capital (although it would be very difficult). They all said that the fourth prince is ignorant, but his personality can be disguised. Someone secretly taught him how to govern a city, or even a country.

But the ideas and plans that the prince said were completely unheard of by the assistant minister. He has been in the City Hall of the Royal Capital for twenty years. As the Minister of Finance's subordinate, he is very familiar with the structure and operation of the City Hall. The ministers are in charge of various functions, and unless they reach an agreement in private, no one usually sells anyone else's account.

After the king issued a decree, the minister who received the order handed it over to his subordinates to do it. Each minister has his own power and has a different style of acting. For example, Steelheart Knight, who was in charge of the defense of the capital of Graycastle, controlled hundreds of patrols and mercenaries under his command, and had considerable influence over the shady underground organizations in the city. When he was doing business, he led his men and horses on a rampage, and the criminals he targeted, even the nobles, would find it difficult to stay in the city any longer. They would either leave the capital or wait to be imprisoned.

Not only the capital, but also other cities.

So if you want to be a lord or a king's subordinate, you must first be a noble with a big family.

If you don't have enough money and food to recruit subordinates, can you do everything by yourself? And the more people you have, the more you will be valued by the higher-ups—because there are many people who are easy to handle, everyone understands this truth.

But the prince's approach completely subverted Barov's concept. Whether it is the minister or the minister's subordinates, all of them are recruited and paid by the city hall. That is to say, even if a certain minister is no longer there, he can be replaced by a new one, and even a person can be directly promoted from below.

This is a brand new system. Barov is sure that what the prince wants to create is a political system that is completely different from the upper level of Graycastle.

Some people may think that this is just Roland's whimsy, or the self-righteousness of a layman? But the assistant to the minister didn't think so. He picked up a quill pen and recorded His Royal Highness's request on paper one by one.

Look at the plans, they fit together and every detail has been considered.

First, manage to eat and drink.

Barov naturally knew that the stronger the control over the people, the faster the execution of the orders issued by the lord, but in this way, the number of managers has also been greatly increased. First, where can we find so many people who can read and write? ? The second is that the extra salary is a heavy burden for the lord's subordinates, and few people are willing to do so.

Look at His Highness's other two, recruiting civilians into the city hall, and educating all civilians.

When he scanned these two lines of text with his fingers, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart.

If His Highness can achieve both of these two things, what will Border Town look like?

Any commoner can read and write, and the City Hall can always find a large number of suitable personnel whenever it wants to expand. And this will in turn promote the popularization of education - receiving education will give you the opportunity to enter the city hall, get a well-paid position, and at the same time bring about an improvement in social status. I am afraid that within a year or two, everyone will actively ask for it. Get an education, even if you can't do it yourself, you will think about sending your children to college.

In addition, all the salaries of the employers mentioned above are paid by the city hall, that is, the lord Roland, and the common people do not need to spend a copper eagle to build their own team. limit.

There is no doubt that only the devil can come up with such a shocking system.

Barov took a deep breath, and held the God's Stone of Retaliation on his chest in his hands. Now there is only one question left, are there any kind-hearted devils?

To say that Roland is an evil person, he was the first to stand up and disagree.

What the fourth prince did, in his eyes, could even be called the act of a virtuous king. Even the records of those legendary kings in the history books did not care as much about the life and death of every subject as he did. Stay in Border Town together with the citizens, spend a lot of money to buy food, so that everyone can safely pass through the Demon Moon; bring the technology and equipment of the devil, and use it for the development of the town; even the witch, the devil's minion, is here Use your abilities to improve people's lives.

Barov suddenly felt that even if Roland became the king of Graycastle, it didn't seem like such a bad thing.

Thinking of his father's teachings to himself: don't say what you shouldn't say, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, he decided to hide his discovery in his heart first. Since he is a devil, he will always have sex with the church in the future. If the form is not right, he can still be an exposer and witness lurking in the devil's camp.

He rang the bell to invite Seni Dali, who had just joined the city hall.

Compared to those clumsy and arrogant knights, this young man from the Wolf family was already considered an outstanding one. Although he still had some pride as a knight, he was at least willing to listen to his own instructions.

"Teacher, what do you want?" He entered the door and saluted.

"His Highness wants to form a new department to be in charge of crop cultivation and supervision, and two apprentices are needed to assist in recording," Barov repeated Roland's request, "In addition, you go to the archives of the city hall to pick out ten people who meet the requirements. , and then do the screening. Although the other party is a commoner, His Highness has insisted on including them in the city hall. If some of them perform well, they may become the director of the Ministry of Agriculture, hey..." He sighed, "You Follow them to record the results first, and I will call you back after the spring plowing is over."

"Teacher, just select two people." He puffed his chest out, "I'm familiar with this too."

"You?" Barov was taken aback.

"Yes! Before I became a knight, I helped my father manage the farm, and I know a lot about wheat cultivation." Seni paused, "But when His Highness asked me if I had any other expertise, I didn't say it... because at that time I was worried that he would assign me to work with those serfs in the farmland."

Barov was overjoyed, he was educated and understood farm work, so even if civilians were to join the Ministry of Agriculture, he would still be the candidate to be in charge. From the current point of view, Saini is on his side. If he becomes the supervisor, he will also have influence over the Ministry of Agriculture.

"Very good," he turned this consideration into a promise of benefits, "Work hard, maybe you can climb to a higher position than before."

After Seni left, Barov leaned on the chair and exhaled lightly.

Now that he knows that His Highness is a devil, he must hold on tight and not let go of his power. The devil is always full of admiration for the ambitious, which is often recorded in myths and biographies. And for him, the rights granted by the king and those granted by the devil are equally sweet. (To be continued.)
