The day after the civil affairs award, Art summoned several civil affairs officials to the official room alone to hand over their tasks.
…Rewards and rewards from the military and civil affairs must be received as soon as possible, especially the honorary land awarded to officers, soldiers and civil affairs officials at all levels must be cashed in time. These honorary lands can be farmed by their own hired farmers, or they can be entrusted to be cultivated by civilian war slaves and prisoners, but they must pay "Cooper, I plan to add a tax officer in the civil affairs department to be responsible for the territory's tax revenue and expenditure and treasury management. You will take the lead in setting up the tax officer. You can formulate a plan for me as soon as possible on issues such as staffing, jurisdiction, and appointment of officials."
“In addition, now that the territory is getting larger and larger, the scope of civil affairs jurisdiction is also getting wider and wider, and there are fewer and fewer things that can be seen with one’s own eyes. There are definitely no shortage of things such as the private storage of public grains last year, so I want to be in charge of civil affairs officials. There is a supervisory officer (agency) directly under our jurisdiction, with three or five people being enough for the time being. They have only one responsibility - to conduct open and covert investigations, supervise officials at all levels, and find out for me those unjust people who bend the law for personal gain. The second period of the parish school has ended. You can select a few apprentices from the school who are courageous and outspoken. They can read and calculate and have no contact with officials at all levels. As for the position of censor, I plan to let one. He is a retired military officer who has a bad temper and is not afraid of offending others. "
"In addition to the censor, under the leadership of the wife, the inner government will also audit the accounts and evaluate the performance of each official from time to time."
Civil Affairs Officer Cooper stood up to answer the order, and several Civil Affairs Officers also looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Matt glanced at a few people and said, "Don't be surprised. I am not targeting anyone. It's just that the scene will be bigger in the future and many things will inevitably happen. I set up these institutions to wake everyone up at all times and let everyone know the bottom line in everything, so as not to have a shocking incident happen one day and embarrass everyone."
Several people nodded in agreement, but their tone was low.
“Scott and Lawrence, you two have to work harder in terms of settlement and construction. There are more than 2,000 new residents recruited this year. These people are mainly for land reclamation and farming. The settlement officers should pay more attention to allocate these people reasonably so that each of them can join the task of opening up wasteland, farming and building the territory as soon as possible. Especially in the intervalley land in the valley, the large land from the intervalley village to the workshop area only has land on both sides of the river. The land has been fully cultivated, and the land a little further away from the river is also very fertile. You need to let the newly arrived residents step up their efforts to cultivate the land on both sides..."
"The construction officer must also do a good job in the construction of residential areas for the newly recruited residents. There are currently six villages in the valley, and two more are being built. I hope that there will be ten villages in the valley before the end of this year..."
“Yes, sir!” Scott and Lawrence quickly put down the birch bark and carbon rods in their hands, and stood up one after another to answer the order.
"Then there is the matter of Continental Trading Company..."
Ate talked for a long time, explaining a lot of directional issues. Feeling that the trivial matters were almost arranged, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip, "Okay, everyone, that's all for today. You all go about your business. You will have to work hard next."
Everyone got up and said goodbye to Art, turned and left.
Art raised his hand, "Sart, please stay here first, I have something else to talk to you alone."
Salt, who had already stood up, quickly sat back on the simple armchair against the wall on the side of the official desk, "Sir, what else do you want?"
"I would like to emphasize one more thing about the European Trading Company. You should be bolder in your actions and the points you set up must be solid. For example, things like last year's secret arson and burning down of my warehouse and shops must be counterattacked with thunder. If the trading bank can do it on its own, report it to me immediately and I will send someone to do it if it can't do it!" Art said with a murderous intent.
ifier | It is a perfect opportunity for my father to serve as financial adjutant in the palace. The European Continental Trading Company must continue to gain momentum. Now that the supply areas in the south are sufficient, you must quickly cultivate reliable business talents. I will give priority to retired military officers and soldiers and apprentices trained in the parish school to satisfy the Continental Trading Company..."
萨尔特听着亚特的安排，血脉里涌起了一股热流，「大人，您放心吧，不出两年，我让您投入的全部金钱人力翻倍的收益回来！」
「好！好！很好！我要的就是这股气势！」亚特连道三声好，也是激动了一把。
After getting excited, Art regained his composure, and stood up and approached Salter, whispering, "In addition, the European trading houses already have some influence in the south, I will give you a separate task."
Salter quickly stood up and listened.
“The old butler has been with me for seven years, and has always been alone. He is fifty years old this year, and he is also lonely when he thinks about it. His wife, daughter and children are no longer in this world, but I once heard him mention accidentally that he still seems to have some relatives in his hometown. However, he still has some relatives in his hometown. Lombardy invaded Provence earlier, and we don’t know if those relatives are still alive. You arrange for people from the European Trading Company in Provence to go to the south to find out if there are any surviving relatives in the old housekeeper’s hometown, and if so, bring them back to the valley.”
"I remember the old guy said that he was born in Alfero, so you can start looking there. Don't let the old butler know about this for the time being. I plan to give him a gift for his fiftieth birthday..."
...
In mid-March, awards and follow-up matters for military and civil affairs nuclear attacks were completed one after another, and all civil affairs matters were also carried out in an orderly manner under the operation of the civil affairs system.
Hate sent the Welsh Army's adjutant Cazak to lead two flag squads to take turns stationed in Tyniec, and then handed over the Welsh Army to Odo and Angus to take the lead in preparing for a new round of recruitment training. Odo and Angus were already experienced commanders, and these military tasks were not difficult for the two of them, so the two quickly started to work.
Since Att's military expansion and reorganization have not yet been fully considered, the army remains as it is for the time being. The new recruits from the North are temporarily undergoing a month-long recruit training and are under the jurisdiction of the garrison's new recruits (trained by recruit instructors and transferred low-level officers).
At the end of March, the second phase of the Welsh Army’s Officers’ Academy started, and the location was the stone hall of Beiguan Army Fort. The second phase of the Officers’ Academy was divided into two levels – a high-level officer’s academy and a low-level commander’s academy.
The High-Level Officer School is open to officers above flag captains (a small number of specially recruited low-level young officers), with a total of seventeen people. The teachers are Art, Odo, Angus, Bass, and Kazak (occasionally come back to teach). They mainly teach macro-level military topics such as war situation analysis, battlefield selection, use of tactics, army formation command, and supply of equipment and equipment;
The low-level commanders' school consists of squadron captains, squad captains, outstanding soldiers with military merits, and a small number of standing peasant and small officers. The number of people is 56. The teachers are mainly flag captains with rich combat experience. Senior commanders such as Odo Angus will also teach occasionally. They mainly learn practical content such as marching operations, military formations, battle command, military law enforcement, medical treatment, baggage rationing, how to recruit and train soldiers, and familiarity with the "Legion Act".
This time the officer academy lasts for three months. Those who pass the assessment after three months will serve as officers at all levels.
While the army was undergoing training, a special team had already begun to rebuild and expand, that is, the task force under the guard officer. After Ron and the others established an intelligence network with Besançon as the core in the North, they rushed back to the valley.
The task force played many roles in the war in Northland, and Art also paid more and more attention to the construction of this special team. After the general affairs were settled, Art personally presided over the expansion of the task force. The level of the task force has not changed for the time being, but the number of personnel has increased to thirty. In addition, the task force has been granted the right to independently apply for military expenditures and recruit members outside the establishment. These are two great powers, and they are enough to show the importance and devotion that Art attaches to the task force.
Under Art's personal control, the expansion of the task force was completed in less than a week, and then Art ordered the task force to immediately send eyes and ears to the Western Region, which was temporarily out of reach of the intelligence network, to find out the news...
Art wanted to rest and relax while the war subsided, but he had to sleep with his eyes open...
The third batch of apprentices in the parish school started training at almost the same time as the Officer Academy.
A dozen apprentices from the first phase of the parish school have been in the civil affairs system for more than a year, and the best ones have become deputy civil affairs administrators;
The second batch also entered civil affairs at the end of last year to study, and many of them have entered European commercial banks and started as apprentices;
The third batch of apprentices this time are special training apprentices, mainly recruiting people aged 18 to 30 who have a certain foundation in writing or calculation (merchant apprentices, church students, or the second sons and attendants of low-level nobles and squires who have fled the country), including 15 selected from various territories in Tyniec County, a total of 32 people, the schooling period is six months, mainly Learn territorial code and various governance skills in the valley. After completing their studies, they will be assigned to various areas in the county to take over or assist the officials and elders at all levels in the county who will be appointed by the civil affairs to manage the civil affairs in various places in the county. These specially trained apprentices will belong to the civil affairs and receive the treatment of officials and accept the direct jurisdiction of the civil affairs. These people are essentially pawns scattered throughout the county.
At the beginning of April, the breeze blows, the weather gets warmer, the green leaves are lush, the streams trickle, and the valley is filled with a spirit of spring.
In the south of the valley, Art inspected the workshop area accompanied by the old carpenter Bud, the adjutant of the craftsman. After secretly arranging several core stewards in the textile workshop, he went straight to the weapons workshop, because just yesterday the first set of Milan-style half-plate armor imitating the southern continent was completed in the valley weapons workshop.
This set of full-body plate armor took a full thirty days to build by a weapon craftsman named Groland and his three assistants. This guy, who had just been promoted to weapon craftsman, was sent to Lombardy in the southern continent last year by Art to steal. After spending a huge "apprenticeship fee" of nearly ten thousand pfennigs, Groland finally mastered the essence of the Lombard Milanese plate armor. Although this set of plate armor was extremely expensive, it could indeed catch up with the fine set of plate armor presented by Viscount Balian.
At was not in a hurry to ask Groland to make a new type of full-body plate armor. Instead, he secretly ordered him to record and study the plate armor-making process, and asked him to teach five more apprentices, with a reward of five hundred pfennigs for each one he taught.
It stands to reason that the skill of making plate armor is a unique skill of a craftsman, and it is impossible to pass it down easily. However, Groland's ability to learn the craft of making plate armor was all thanks to Art, so he happily obeyed...
Inspecting the completion workshop, Asia Te and Ron climbed up to the Wellsburg construction site where the foundation was being built. Here, a construction adjutant, three clerks and a team of peasant soldiers were holding nearly a hundred war slaves (slaves) to build the foundation. Wellsburg was designed by Cooper who devoted his life's learning and paid special attention to the castle's infrastructure, so the infrastructure has not been completed yet.
However, Art has repeatedly emphasized the need to build a strong city in the valley, so he also urged the construction period, and just encouraged everyone to work hard...
Standing on the top of the mountain, looking at the valley, Art suddenly felt a surge of emotion in his heart.
Six years ago, around this time, Art took Ron to the top of this hill to look at the future;
Six years later, wherever Art walked there were fertile fields and mature soil and waves of spring crops and wheat. During the period when the village roads were decorated and craftsmen from the territory came and went, the north side of the hill had become a paradise of fertile soil.
"It's time to go south~" Art raised his eyes to look towards the south of the valley and muttered in a low voice.
"Sir, what did you say? Where are you going?"
Ron looked in the direction of Art's finger, "You want to go to the south of the valley? Those places are not easy to walk."
Ron had led people to explore south a year ago.
"Ron, after you go back, pick three smarter guards, prepare horse supplies and a few sets of clothing for the caravan guards. I want to go and see for myself..."
