Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?

Sean arrived at the construction site early as usual and guided others to start making cement.

This magical cement can be made with materials that can be found everywhere, and even no knowledge of alchemy is required.

And Sean feels that these cements can be further optimized, and no alchemical materials are needed. It only requires changing the materials or production methods. Sean feels that the strength of the cement is far from reaching its upper limit.

This thing was probably used to build bridges and roads during the Old Empire. When Sean thought about the fact that the product of the Old Empire was made by his own hands, he felt extremely satisfied. This sense of accomplishment cannot be compared to learning a few simple spells.

Because they were going to start large-scale road construction, it was basically impossible to hide the formula of cement, but Linde had no intention of keeping it secret forever. This kind of thing was originally just to grab a first-mover advantage.

Moreover, given the efficiency of the feudal nobles, Lind suspected that the other party might not react until the cement roads in his territory were paved.

Among those who came to study, there were ordinary workers and children of aristocrats. Although Sean could see that many of the children of aristocrats came to this construction site because they wanted to get close to him, as his brother-in-law said, it was their actions that mattered, not their intentions. As long as they had learned and really performed their production tasks well, it would not be a bad idea to make friends with them and promote them.

In fact, many nobles have already discovered that Linde is really short of people. As long as you have been a decent person in the past and work hard and reliably now, you will be promoted and promoted quickly.

Lind's requirements for these nobles were already very low, that is, don't be too abstract.

Many nobles humbled themselves early on and started working at the grassroots level, and were promoted quickly. Although they were still struggling at the grassroots level, they had regained some power and could be considered senior officials.

Those nobles who were still on the sidelines, seeing that those "capitulationists" were gradually taking away the power that originally belonged to them, and even some families with no background, who worked the hardest and seemed to be riding on their heads and shitting on them in the future, finally urged their younger generations who were more like human beings to join in.

In fact, most of the nobles still made the classic bet on both sides, some fled to the area ruled by Doug Lars, and some stayed to work for Lind.

However, many nobles whose foundations were already corrupt could not even produce a descendant who could take on a human form, and could only watch helplessly as their former territorial power was divided up by these "new nobles".

These nobles who became officials through simple examinations, former religious figures, and commoners who excelled in church schools are forming new interest groups.

Looking at these new aristocrats who were full of enthusiasm and fantasizing about their life after promotion, Sean just nodded and smiled as he did before.

I don’t know how much smile these new nobles who will take up office in various places in the future will have left after my brother-in-law’s performance evaluation method comes out.

Originally, Lind was planning to use KPI and performance directly to strengthen these new nobles who still wanted to be masters, but after discussing with Lars's elder, Lind planned to wait for some time before promulgating this performance evaluation method.

After all, what if those people see the method of examination and dare not join the trap? We have to trick them in first.

And the content cannot be copied, some changes must be made.

With the help of the Great Elder, a performance evaluation method that is more suitable for the physique of the noble babies in this world was developed.

Because it was the early stage of the business, Lind and the Great Elder deleted some inhumane punishments, added incentives and promotion channels, and allowed those who were really working to be promoted faster.

The performance requirements have also been relaxed a bit, mainly because of the concern that some people would be too eager for quick success. Although Lind believes that no matter how lenient the requirements are, those who are eager for quick success and reckless advancement will still use extraordinary means to achieve performance tasks.

Although this alternate-world version of the performance evaluation method can be used directly, it is still under continuous revision.

Lind needs to add some sunk costs to these officials to prevent them from quitting their jobs after seeing the performance evaluation law in the future.

Now, the constantly promoted minor nobles and the beginning relaxation of promotion paths are like carrots dangling for those nobles to continuously send more people to take the civil service examinations.

When the sunk costs are sufficient, this group of nobles will have no choice but to work harder to test each other under the performance evaluation system.

No one would be willing to give up the power they had regained.

Lind directly deprived them of their original power, and then occasionally gave them a little from between his fingernails. These nobles were grateful to Lind. Because of this, most of the big noble families ran away, but many poor families were rising rapidly.

Actually, Lind really wanted to promote some civilians, but the education foundation of this world was too poor. Most of the civilian officials still came from Gray and White Collar. Even if there were church schools, only a few people could read. Lind had no way to promote education directly on his own like he did in that small place of Gray and White Collar. He could only establish promotion channels for civilians first, and then slowly expand them through public schools and church schools.

By noon, Sean had already stepped under the arbour to rest. The sweet soup after the work tasted more delicious than all the wine Sean had ever drunk before.

Ever since Lind became the patriarch, creatures of unknown origin have been contacting Sean, hoping that Sean can step forward to take charge of the situation, regain power, become Lars' heir and restore Lars' glory.

But Sean didn't reply, he just silently handed the list of these people to his brother-in-law and Colin.

Although there was no response from his brother-in-law, Colin now traveled back and forth between various places in the territory with his guards every day, searching for these unknown creatures one by one according to the list. He was even more active than the bard beside his brother-in-law.

Sean feels extremely comfortable with his current life. He no longer has the pressure of being an heir. Every day he only needs to think about the things in front of him.

The management of Evans territory has begun to get on the right track, and thanks to Jim Evans, the gray-collar officials took over the entire territory very smoothly.

And Sean is about to leave here, and he plans to study the new rune science course offered by Gray Collar. He heard that as long as he masters this subject, he can participate in and make the analysis of the Mathematical Array. Sean has been curious about this Mathematical Array and the magic trigger for a long time.

It is precisely because of these two things that Gray and White Collar's current steel production capacity is completely in excess. Just relying on Gray and White Collar, it is enough to refurbish all the equipment of the Lars Knights in the western part of the North.

At the same time, Sean also heard that Gray and White Collar was building a magic focusing array and was in urgent need of professionals with outstanding computing capabilities. Sean planned to lend a hand. Although he didn't know what the specific role would be, Sean believed that his brother-in-law would not do it without a purpose and it must be something very important.

And I heard that my brother-in-law is planning to start promoting military reform recently, but there is a lot of opposition within the Lars family, so Sean has to go back to help.

Sean, who had personally experienced the entire battlefield in the valley, knew that wars in the past where victory could be won by simply crushing the enemy with Lars' knights were now a thing of the past.

If there are still people in the family who don't know what's good for them, Sean doesn't mind letting them know why he was once the most promising heir.
