Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

Egno picked up a silver plant leaf and handed it to Harvey with a wry smile.

"Sir, this is a magical plant that we brought back...a totally useless."

Harvey took it curiously and found that the leaves of the plant are similar to mulberry leaves, but the color is bright silver like tin foil. A thin piece is smooth when pinched in the hand, and the texture is very strange.

"This plant has not been found and recorded in alchemy potion books at all." Chris explained helplessly, "but I suspect it is not a brand new magical plant, but because... it It's really useless and does not have any drug properties, so no one wants to record it even if it is discovered."

"Oh? It does not have drug properties? Then what form does the magic substance it contains appear? How did you discover its existence? Is it just because the silver-white appearance is too conspicuous?" Harvey couldn't help it. Asked afterwards.

Egno picked up a leaf from the collection box, then took out a metal blood collection needle and gently pierced his fingertips, then squeezed out a drop of blood and applied it to the leaves. After a moment, the silver leaf emitted a faint A white light.

"Glowing? Is this its magical characteristic? It's really strange, but have you not considered the possibility of using it to replace the light magic stone?" Harvey felt that the luminous characteristic was not completely useless, whether it was used to replace lighting or extract fluorescence. All agent ingredients are of practical value.

Egno whispered bitterly again, then put the leaf on the table. Harvey found that the leaf immediately dissipated all its light and turned back into a dull silver color.

"Sir, this is its uselessness... If you want it to emit a faint light, the contact needs to apply its own blood on it, but it seems to have some memory, and from then on it will only be this to the owner of the blood from now on The touch of a specific target produces a luminous reaction... Once the contact is abandoned, the light will immediately dissipate."

Harvey immediately understood what Egno described - what is the weird "blood-recognizing the master" feature...

Chris also followed Egno's operation, pierced his fingertips and squeezed out a drop of blood to apply it on a new leaf. The reaction of the silver leaf was exactly the same - it would only shine slightly when Chris touched it. Once he left his palm, the light immediately went out and returned to his normal appearance.

"A leaf can only record a person's blood information, and since then it only contacts the target and produces a luminous reaction... After we discovered this characteristic, we completely gave up the delusion of letting it replace the light magic stone." Chris was a little depressed. It was originally a very pleasant harvest to discover a brand new magical plant, but after a lot of tedious experiments, this result was really disappointing.

Egno muttered, "This is not as good as those thick reed plants that grow in saline-alkali lands that can squeeze concentrated salt water. At least they can create great value for the territory..."

Harvey touched his chin and thought for a moment, but a strange thought flashed through his mind.

Since this plant has the seemingly useless memory ability of "blood-recognizing the master", if it is applied to the territorial administration of demographic and identity registration, wouldn't it be possible to create an identity authentication system that is close to perfection and cannot be copied?

More than a year ago, when Harvey began to contain large numbers of refugees in the wasteland and fleeing people in the south, he had a great headache about the population information registration issue.

This magical world where extraordinary power coexists with feudal rule has no approach to a sound and complete population information statistics. Most nobles and fief lords rely on a large number of tax officials under their command to count the number of households in charge of their own households. tax collection in the form of

During the statistics process, only the population, farmland area, livestock and plowing oxen of the family will be roughly recorded, and the occupation of the main labor force of the family will be marked at most, so that the lord can be more clear when recruiting labor. Click to select the quota.

However, this entire demographic process cannot verify personal information 100%. In other words, it can only be judged by the tax officials' memory. Once population movement occurs due to migration and war recruitment, these people will be led by the people He immediately became a black account with no real identity.

Harvey himself has seen some migrant refugees who were originally free farmers more than once in his childhood, but was eventually judged as tax evasion tenant farmers because he was unable to confirm his identity.

During the period when Harvey's territory's population surged, he first noticed this problem - when a sheltered refugee registered his identity, he could only rely on verbal inquiries from the city hall officials to learn about his past information and Their job experience was obtained, and then they were given a "simple version of the ID card" that simply recorded their age, height, occupation and place of origin.

As a result, a large number of criminal cases of stealing other people's ID documents and impersonating the substitute to defraud wages were not slightly relieved until Harvey compiled a relatively complete territory law and imposed heavy punishments on these people.

In daily patrols and case handling, the Territory Police Department often adds a lot of tedious work that requires visits, confirmation and seeking evidence due to the difficulties that the identity information cannot correspond to the criminal himself.

"With this strange plant with blood memory ability, you only need to attach it to the new ID card to achieve personal information that is absolutely impossible to copy and forge. The staff in charge of population statistics in the city hall will reduce a lot of work burden, and we will also have a clearer and clearer understanding of the current population structure of the territory."

Harvey enthusiastically explained the importance of this new magic plant to Egno and Chris, and immediately found white paper to draw the new ID card style.

"Use printing technology to mass-produce these ID cards, and add a layer of waterproof rubber fruit coating on the surface to prevent it from being easily damaged and soaked, so as to achieve a durable effect... Egno, immediately catalyze a batch of this magic plant, and the batch of southern refugees we are about to put into the pioneering territory will come in handy!"

After owning this magical leaf plant, Harvey had more ideas for territory administration.

For example, the Territory Bank, which has been set up next to the City Hall and has never been of any use - it is only used to facilitate the residents to apply for loans to buy houses and exchange gold and yuan banknotes for metal coins, but in fact no one is willing to go there to exchange them. After all, coins are not circulated in the territory at all, and the residents who have long lived and worked in peace and contentment do not want to leave this increasingly prosperous and wealthy new home.

No mistake, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

With the magic ID card, the deserted Territory Bank has become very useful. At least the residents no longer have to hide their accumulated salary at home, but can save it in the bank and withdraw it with their ID card when they need to spend a large amount of money.

In this way, the bank can also truly play the role of regulating the currency circulation and commercial activities of the territory as Harvey expected.

"In the future, the salary payment of all jobs in the territory can be handed over to the banking department to be responsible for..."
