The Knight's Journey to the Empire

September 4877, 4 in the Knight Continent calendar.

In the meeting room of Baron Sauron's mansion, all the officials of the White Bear Territory gathered here, preparing to hold the third internal meeting of the territory.

At a long table in the middle of the conference room, Lord Baron Soren Lipton sat at the head seat, with the others sitting on his left and right, facing each other.

The four people on Soran's right are:

Political and Commercial Officer, Adam Eric;

Assistant to the Political Officer, Woolf Cook;

the adjutant-general, Gubellini;

Director of the resettlement center, Cotton Bass.

There are also four people on Soran’s right, namely:

Military officer and captain of the first squadron of the Territorial Guard, Ramos;

Martin, deputy captain of the first squadron of the Territorial Guard;

Henry, military officer and captain of the 2nd Squadron of the Territorial Guards;

Borgia, deputy captain of the second squadron of the territory guard.

In addition, there is another person, Javier, the chief steward of the Baron's mansion who also serves as the territory's tax officer.

At this time, Javier was sitting at another small table next to Soren, acting as the secretary of the meeting, responsible for recording the contents of the meeting.

There are a total of ten people in the conference room, and it is these ten people who constitute the entire leadership framework of the White Bear Territory. All major decisions of the White Bear Territory are made by these ten people.

At the beginning of the meeting, Soran took the lead and said: "There are three main agendas for this meeting:

The first is for each responsible official to summarize and report on his or her work over this period.

The second is to discuss a new round of official appointments.

The third is to discuss the next phase of territory development priorities.”

Soran had Thomas convey these matters that needed to be discussed to them yesterday. I believe they are now ready!

So after looking around, Soran said directly: "Now we will proceed to the first agenda, and the responsible officials will give their work summary reports!"

"Adam, you guys from the government office should come first!"

"Yes, sir!" Adam replied seriously.

Then he stood up, took out a notebook, and began to report page by page: "During this period of time, the work carried out by our government affairs office includes..."

The Government Affairs Office is indeed the hub of the entire territory, and the tasks it is responsible for and arranges are numerous, complex, dense and arduous!

Such as population census, arable land census, construction of toilets and manure pits, re-planning of functional areas in Flanders Town, construction of the first phase of Barrett's Avenue of Prosperity, large-scale reclamation of wasteland in the territory, sewer excavation project in Flanders Town, planning and construction of new villages, etc.

Adam's report lasted for more than an hour and was so eloquent that Soren's scalp was tingling and his mouth was dry!

This made Sauron feel very fortunate: Fortunately, he had set up a government office to help handle the territory's government affairs instead of doing it himself, otherwise he would have been exhausted!

When Adam finished his report, Soran personally poured him a cup of tea to show his gratitude!

After Adam finished his report, Gubellini and Wolfe had nothing to report, so it was Cottonbass' turn.

But Cottonbas had just arrived in the territory and had just taken up the position of director of the refugee resettlement center, so he had nothing to report.

Then it was Ramos' turn.

Ramos also took out a notebook and began to report on his work progress over the past few days.

As a military officer appointed by Sauron himself, in order to live up to the young master's expectations, he did a lot of practical work!

For example, recruiting and training territory guards, building new military camps, establishing patrol teams to patrol the territory, leading teams into the mountains to encircle and suppress the former security team, selecting and assessing the knight guards, and sending troops to protect the territory's reclamation work, etc...

Overall, there are no outstanding political achievements, but it is pretty standard and there are no major mistakes.

So from this point of view, Ramos is quite competent. At least he is not just sitting there doing nothing or doing anything reckless.

After listening to Ramos's report, Soran nodded with satisfaction.

This situation is much better than he expected!

"Okay! Now let's move on to the second item on the agenda: discussing the new round of official appointments!"

"As for the rationality of the establishment of various official positions, or the competence of the officials in office, etc. Through the work report just now and daily understanding, everyone has a clear idea in their minds, so please share any opinions you have!"

As soon as Soran finished speaking, Adam stood up and said, "Regarding the political officer, I need to say something. I don't think I am suitable to continue to serve as a political officer."

"During the time I have worked with Wolfe, he is better than me in handling the affairs of the territory, both in terms of ability and knowledge, and he handles it more efficiently and reasonably! So I think the position of political officer can be handed over to Wolfe!"

After saying that, Adam and Wolfe looked at each other, smiled at each other, and then Adam sat down.

Wolfe stood up and said, "I think the territory's political officers and business officers should be set up separately. Now that the territory's development has gradually gotten on the right track, all aspects of work can be carried out in an orderly manner. So next, the territory needs to develop commerce."

"And the political officer is already sufficient to manage the territory's political affairs, and has no time to take care of the development of commerce, so we need to appoint a separate official to manage it!"

This was something the two of them had discussed yesterday, and Adam also told Wolfe what Soren had said that day.

That’s why the two of them are praising each other today.

But the others present didn't know! They thought the two were playing a double act!

They immediately rolled their eyes at them!

However, they did not refute. After all, everyone knew the work abilities of the two, and it was indeed possible for them to serve as political officers and commercial officers.

Seeing this, Soran glanced at Javier next to him and saw that he had dark circles under his eyes recently, so he said, "Javier has been too busy recently. After the mansion recruited servants, he was already overwhelmed by the work of managing the Baron's mansion. So his position as a tax officer needs to be shared, and he will only be responsible for the work of managing the Baron's mansion as the butler in the future."

After Soran finished speaking, no one spoke. Everyone sat there, looking at their noses and their hearts, and remained silent.

Over there, Martin suddenly winked at Henry.

After seeing this, Henry was about to stand up and speak.

But at this moment, Ramos stood up before him and said, "Master, I don't think I'm suitable to be a military officer! I'm reckless and impulsive by nature, and I make mistakes easily. I'm also lacking in ability and can't manage the territory guards well."

"So, let someone else be the military officer! Martin or Henry will do! I will just be an ordinary soldier!"

Suddenly, everyone present looked at Ramos in surprise!

Obviously she was shocked by his speech!
