The Knight's Journey to the Empire

Soran took the paper with the questions written on it from Javier and glanced through it.

Then he took the pen from Javier and scribbled on the paper for a while before continuing to speak to everyone:

"Just now, Javier recorded a total of seven issues based on everyone's feedback. Now I have simply sorted out all the issues based on the actual situation of the territory and the importance of the issues."

"In order of importance, these issues are as follows:

First, appoint territorial officials and form a leadership group;

Second, build territory roads and improve transportation conditions;

Third, mobilize the people of the territory to reclaim the wild wasteland;

Fourth, resettle the territory’s inhabitants and plan new settlements;

Fifth, reorganize the territory's army and strengthen its defense capabilities;

Sixth, develop territory commerce and promote economic growth;

Seventh, plan the territory and towns and arrange the functional areas reasonably. "

"Now, let's discuss the first issue in detail - appointing territorial officials and forming a leadership team."

Soran glanced around slowly, then said in a leisurely tone: "The first point is, which officials do we need to appoint to manage our territory?"

Adam thought for a moment, then stood up first and explained to everyone: "As far as I know, the complete leadership of a hereditary territory is mainly divided into two parts: internal and external officials. External officials mainly refer to officials who manage the basic affairs of the territory, while internal officials mainly refer to officials who serve the daily lives of the nobles."

“Among these, foreign officials need to set up the following eight main positions:

First, the political officer: his main responsibility is to handle the daily government affairs and daily affairs of the territory;

Second, the financial officer: the main responsibility is to handle the financial revenue and expenditure management of the territory, including the approval and request of specific project funds;

Third, the tax officer: the main responsibility is to collect taxes in the territory, including land tax, head tax, business tax, etc.;

Fourth, the Legal Officer: The main responsibility is to supervise the performance of other officials, and is also responsible for coordinating daily conflicts among residents in the territory, or conflicts between outsiders in the territory;

Fifth, military affairs officer: the main responsibility is to be responsible for the daily management of the territory's military affairs, such as recruiting soldiers, organizing training, etc.;

Sixth, Sheriff: The main responsibility is to lead the security team to maintain the security management of the territory, such as patrolling and cracking down on illegal and criminal activities;

Seventh, Foreign Affairs Officer: The main responsibility is to be responsible for the ceremonial exchanges between the territory and other territories, such as the exchange of letters and the giving of holiday gifts between nobles, and the negotiation of conflicts between territories.

Eighth, Business Officer: The main responsibility is to manage business operations within the territory, such as renting out shops, market planning, etc.

“In addition to the above positions, there are:

Clerk: The main responsibility is to record and upload the policies or orders issued by the lord;

Warden: The main responsibility is to manage the prison and cells, interrogate the criminals, etc.

Works Officer: One of the subordinate officials of the Civil Service Officer, whose main responsibility is to oversee the construction, maintenance, and management of various projects or facilities within the territory;

Quartermaster: One of the subordinate officers of the Military Affairs Officer, whose main responsibility is to purchase, store and maintain military supplies.

Caravan Supervisor: One of the subordinate officials of the Commerce Officer, whose main responsibility is to lead the caravan established by the lord to go out for business and increase the financial revenue of the territory.

"As for the internal officials in the noble mansion, the following main positions are set up:

First, the Captain of the Imperial Guard: his main responsibility is to lead the Imperial Guard to protect the safety of the nobles and their residences;

Second, the chief butler: his main responsibility is to manage the daily life of the noble mansion and arrange the daily work of the servants in the mansion;

Third, the head butler: his main responsibility is to assist the butler in managing the male servants in the noble mansion;

Fourth, the head maid: her main responsibility is to assist the butler in managing the maids in the noble mansion;

Fifth, the head servant: the main responsibility is to assist the chief steward in managing the servants in the noble mansion;

Sixth, the head chef, whose main responsibility is to provide daily meals for the nobles;

Seventh, Chief Concierge: The main responsibility is to arrange banquets and receive guests, etc. "

“In addition, there are caterers whose main responsibilities are to serve food and wine to the nobles, clear the table, clean the tableware, etc.;

Family doctor: The main responsibility is to treat the nobles;

Tutor: The main responsibility is to teach knowledge to the children of the nobility;

Clothing Servant: The main responsibility is to dress the nobles, preserve, manage, clean and store the nobles’ clothing.

[Note: Servants in aristocratic mansions are usually divided into two categories, upper-class servants and lower-class servants.

The upper servants are also called inner servants, which refer to those servants who are trusted by the nobles and can take care of the nobles' daily life, such as all the inner officials in the nobles' mansions, as well as the squire knights, personal servants, kitchen servants, etc.

Lower servants are also called slaves or outside servants. They refer to those servants who can only do dirty and tiring work in the noble mansion, such as gatekeepers, gardeners, grooms, coachmen, laundry servants, clowns, etc.

If the slaves did not have the permission of their masters, they could not even enter the main hall or lobby. 】

At this point, Adam paused for a moment to give everyone some time to digest the new knowledge.

After all, here, except for him and Sauron, no one else has systematically studied this knowledge and has no idea of ​​the twists and turns involved.

Javier might know a little more about the establishment of official positions in aristocratic mansions.

Because according to the long-standing tradition of the Knight Continent, he was born as Sauron's "personal servant". When Sauron obtained the hereditary territory, it was destined that he would serve as the butler of the noble mansion.

So given Javier's character, he should have done some preparatory work for the management of the Baron's mansion and the appointment of officials.

But that was all. He was also confused and had only a vague understanding of the setting up of territorial officials.

After a while, Adam continued calmly: "Of course, the White Bear Territory of our territory is now a small territory, so there is no need to set up so many official positions. The setting of some official positions can also cover the responsibilities of other official positions!"

This is Adam’s suggestion for setting up official positions in the territory!

"Well said, very systematic and comprehensive!" Soran couldn't help but exclaim in praise and took over the conversation at the right time.

That's a very good point indeed, because this is Adam's own personal show.

Adam knew that Sauron would definitely entrust him with an important task next, but he had never been to the western battlefield with Sauron and had no military achievements.

Moreover, his own strength is not strong enough, and he has not yet broken through to the entry-level knight profession level.

Plus, he and Soran were brothers before.

Therefore, if he does not reveal some real talents and skills to shock the crowd, then others will easily think that he is a relative who came in through the back door.

Even if he was forcibly appointed as an official by Sauron, it would be difficult for him to convince the people when it came to the actual implementation of his work.

After all, once the first impression is established, it is difficult to change.

Fortunately, judging from the reactions of the people at the scene, the effect seems to be quite good.
