Arcane Lord

"Jeff, Jeff!"

Not even bothering to take the shovel away, Layton immediately ran towards Linshui Village to the west. When he arrived at the village entrance, he loudly shouted the name of Jeff, the chief officer of the Territory Development Department.

They ran and shouted all the way until they stopped at the door of the Government Affairs Office near the Altar Square in the far west of the territory. At the same time, two middle-aged men wrapped in winter clothes walked out of the Government Affairs Office.

One is Jeff, a tall and muscular man with a full winter coat, and the other, with a loyal and honest face, is Cade, the chief officer of the logistics department.

"Lord Layton, does the Lord have any new orders? Is it so urgent?" Jeff asked.

"There is no new order. It is still the plan to build a new square as mentioned before. I have just seen that the land has begun to thaw and relevant personnel can be arranged to start work."

Having said this, Leiden looked at Cade and gave him an order: "In addition, the brick kiln can also start work."

Upon hearing this, Cade was stunned. He subconsciously wrapped himself in a not-so-thick winter coat and frowned, "It's still so cold outside. Even if the ground thaws, I'm afraid it will be difficult to dig. How about waiting another two days?”

Although it is not necessary for Cade to do the work himself no matter how cold it is outside, he comes from a lower class background and is able to understand the difficulties faced by ordinary people at the bottom, and he also cares about ordinary people.

It's just that Cade's mercy was very incompetent in Layton's opinion. However, in front of Jeff, Layton didn't get angry or reprimand him. He just glanced at him coldly. , and then say:

"This is an order!"

Hearing the order, Jeff suddenly became excited, and Cade didn't complain anymore. He was very clear about the style of the consul in front of him. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was unreasonable. This time it was just another personal experience. Just realize this.

…

Seeing Jeff and Cade leave the Government Affairs Office in a hurry, Leiden did not stay here for long. Recently, there were not many things at the Government Affairs Office that he needed to deal with personally. He could just come over in the evening and go through the paperwork.

He has more important things to do——

Explain the legal provisions related to land transfer to the night school lecturers, and then these lecturers will pass the content of his explanation to the citizens through the night school.

This was a task that the Lord emphasized emphatically, and Leiden hardly relaxed for a moment.

Of course, night classes are not only held at night. In fact, during the winter period, the residents do not have much to do, so night classes are mostly held during the day.

…

Just when Leiden gathered a group of night school lecturers to explain the Code, Jeff had personally brought his deputy Clark and two hundred-person working groups to the Elemental Fountain.

However, it took a while for Jeff to gather people. When they came over, Shado had already gone back to the Tower of Time to rest. Without seeing the lord, Jeff naturally resumed his usual style.

I saw him patting his deputy Clark on the shoulder carelessly, and said in a seemingly intimate manner: "Clark, I will leave this to you from now on. I will go to Cade's side to get more meat for everyone's dinner!"

When he said the last sentence, Jeff obviously mentioned the volume. After hearing what Jeff said, the members of the work team who were resting at home just now but were now pulled over to work looked a little better. Many of them looked better. People even let out a sparse, moderate cheer.

Seeing this scene, Jeff didn't take it seriously. He patted Clark on the shoulder again, and then set off from the Elemental Fountain and followed the Linshui River to find Cade.

…

On Cade's side, although he is not as capable as the chief officers of other departments in the territory, and he became the chief officer of the Logistics Department more because the lord saw him as honest, it can be said that his reputation in his own department does not belong to others.

It is because of his honesty and loyalty, his ability to think about ordinary people, and his seriousness and meticulousness that everyone in the logistics department recognizes Cade's personality even if they do not agree with his abilities.

Therefore, when they heard that the brick kiln workers would be recalled to start work immediately, none of these workers were dissatisfied, because they knew that if CapitaLand could inform them like this, it would be the best result that CapitaLand could achieve.

When Jeff came from the Fountain of the Elements to the brick kiln near the Wolfburg River, Cade had already begun to make hundreds of bricks from the ready-made fine soil left over from firing the paving bricks last year.

Seeing Jeff coming, Cade was obviously a little surprised. He wiped the muddy water on his hands, walked over to him, and asked, "Jeff, why are you here? Aren't you keeping an eye on the elemental fountain?"

"What's there to keep an eye on? Clark is over there! That kid is just one short step away from being a slave. I'm afraid that even if I stay there, he'll be wishing for me to leave!"

Jeff had already seen clearly the thoughts of his deputy. Since becoming the head of the development department, he had also tried to learn from him the experience of coordinating various working groups, but later he discovered that no matter how he learned, , neither can surpass the other.

As a result, Jeff quickly changed his strategy. He knew that Clark had long been in the eyes of the Lord, so he did not have any evil thoughts on Clark. Instead, he continued to make friends with other department chiefs, even his own subordinates. As the leader of the working group, he also showed his kindness from time to time.

In this way, as long as he doesn't make mistakes, even if Clark finally escapes from slavery, won't he still be his subordinate? No matter how well Clark does and how many contributions he makes, he still has his share!

As for the further future, Jeff has also considered that in the worst case, he could become Clark's subordinate. There is nothing to be ashamed of. After all, he was just an ordinary farmer in the past, and it is enough to be able to live as a territorial official!

Today, in the past, he wouldn't have dared to think about it.

"Cade, ask the canteen to add some meat to my people tonight. Work in the winter is not easy. How can we do it without adding food!"

Cade rolled his eyes at Jeff, but he didn't refuse. In fact, even if Jeff didn't say anything, he would add extra food for those who were working today, "I understand, since you don't need to be present at the elemental fountain, then you can go Listen to the code lecture! I think Lord Lord and Lord Layton attach great importance to this matter. If you are asked and you can’t answer it, huh-"

Hearing what Cade said, Jeff was immediately unhappy, and he immediately asked, "Do you understand everything?"

"Of course!"

Cade puffed up his chest, but at this moment a cold wind blew by, and he shrank subconsciously, but his words were still strong, "Last month I borrowed a code from Mr. Leiden, and my mother-in-law said it every day Read them all to me, and I can almost memorize them now! I only listened to Mr. Leiden’s two lectures the day before yesterday, and I understand all the laws and regulations on land granting!”

"Ho!"

Jeff couldn't help but look at Cade carefully, but in the end he didn't say anything. Everyone knew about hard work. If he fell too far behind, the position of chief development officer might soon be overturned. .

He hasn't had enough of this seat yet!

How can this be done!

Thinking of this, Jeff no longer cared about talking to Cade and trotted towards the village.
