Tome of Blood

Send... a development plan?

After hearing the girl's words, Baron Betel was stunned.

He imagined that Earl of Castel would open his mouth to win him over, and he also imagined that Earl of Castel would wait condescendingly for his declaration of allegiance like other noble lords, and he also imagined that Earl of Castel might first give His "stab head" who is stirring up wind and rain in the Northland is beating him, or because of the pressure of other nobles, he hinted that he would hand over his territory and title, and become an idle landless nobleman...

But he didn't expect that after the meeting, the other party threw him a dozen documents directly.

development plan?

Baron Bettel?

Baron Betel picked up the parchment in doubt, and browsed it in a daze, but after just a glance, he couldn't take his eyes off it.

Without him, the things in this development plan really caught his attention.

The entire set of sheepskin scrolls is roughly estimated to have 80 or 90 pages, and the planned construction period is 20 years. After 20 years, it will be divided into four steps with a period of five years.

From the significance and necessity of the development and construction of the Barony of Bettel, to the current status and basic conditions of the Barony, to various existing problems in the territory, the document describes quite clearly, even more comprehensively than he, the lord, understands.

After that, centering around the various issues analyzed above, the plan lists dozens of pages of measures and measures in terms of infrastructure construction, fortification strengthening, territorial security construction, commercial trade development, farmland reclamation and improvement, and sustainable forest management. Suggestions, and interlocking with each other, comprehensive and watertight.

Some of the suggestions and measures, even the local lord, felt that his eyes lit up when he saw them, or they hit it off with some of his ideas all the time. Let him, the lord Mao Sai who has been worrying about the status quo of his territory for a long time, suddenly understand.

Especially regarding the removal of undead in security construction and road construction in infrastructure construction, he has already had some ideas.

Baron Betel is obviously located in the center of the three territories of Roman, Violet, and Castel, and is the only way for trade on the roads of the three territories. The biggest reason is that there are a large number of undead left in the Star-Moon War, in addition to the dilapidated roads and the loss of population.

In addition, in order to make it easier for readers to understand, a large number of schematic diagrams and tables are engraved on the parchment with novel forms.

After a few glances, Baron Bettel was completely attracted by this development plan.

He was addicted to it without knowing it, thinking about the feasibility while looking at it, and when he closed the whole parchment scroll, he realized that almost half a day had passed.

Baron Bettel reacted immediately, with a look of embarrassment on his face. He quickly closed the parchment and was about to apologize when he heard Charlotte's slightly smiling voice behind the desk:

"How is it? Your Excellency the Baron, what do you think of this development report?"

"Wonderful! Wonderful! I have never seen such a detailed and rich, clear-cut and well-organized plan since I was entrusted with the territory! Very far-sighted and valuable!"

"Especially this kind of planning and design according to the year, as well as the groundbreaking chart, even people who don't understand anything, as long as they can read, they can see it clearly at a glance!"

Baron Betel praised without thinking.

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but commented:

"Of course, maybe it's because the person who wrote it didn't have a deep understanding of Bettel's collar. Some of the suggestions are still flawed and difficult, but on the whole, even if one-third of the plan proposed above is completed, the whole Baron Bettel may also have a new look!"

As he spoke, he sighed and asked:

"Ka... Earl, who wrote this development plan? There is no doubt that the person who wrote this plan must be a great talent!"

Charlotte laughed:

"This was written by several ministers of the cabinet, and their names are attached to the back of the parchment."

"The cabinet ministers did it together?"

Baron Betel was surprised, and then couldn't help sighing:

"It's no wonder that the Castel collar can develop better and better. With such a professional cabinet, it's really normal to surpass those decadent noble collars."

As he said that, he turned to the end of the parchment scroll, wanting to see which Castel nobles wrote the report, and maybe he could visit and ask for advice when he had time in the future.

However, when Baron Betel turned to the end of the parchment and saw the first name at the top, he was taken aback for a moment:

"Charlotte de Castel?"

He couldn't help raising his head and looked at the girl, while Charlotte smiled and said:

"I only provided the framework and direction, designed the outline and chart requirements, and the details, including suggestions, were mostly drawn up by the cabinet."

"They are the main force, I just do some small work."

Tiny jobs?

No! Frame and direction are the most important thing!

These suggestions suggest that any single item should be listed, and experienced nobles can think of it according to the actual situation, but the most difficult thing is actually to string these things together to form a whole.

Or to be more precise, it is the hardest and most critical thing to be able to list the overall framework, to be able to make an overall design for 20 years, and to be able to set a direction for long-term planning.

Not to mention the charts.

In Baron Bettel's opinion, these clear charts are what catch his eyes the most. He can almost imagine that this intuitive form of expression can be applied to almost any place in the governance of the territory.

These charts can summarize problems in a concentrated and concise manner, which is extremely convenient for comparative analysis and allows people to discover the connection between data and reality.

Just by comparing the charts, he was able to figure out some doubts about the development of the territory before, and he felt a sense of enlightenment.

Thinking of this, Baron Betel couldn't help but look at the girl behind the desk with an even more surprised expression.

An extraordinary genius who was less than seventeen years old and whose extraordinary aura was so strong that even he, a senior star knight, felt oppressed...

A young leader who integrated the territory and defeated the coalition forces of the two duchies in less than a year after succeeding to the throne...

A wise lord who can easily design such a well-organized development plan, considers all issues, and attaches great importance to the development of the territory...

Lord God, what kind of monster did the Castel family produce!

Baron Bettel's mood was extremely complicated.

"Your Excellency the Baron, you mentioned that there are still some flaws in this plan. Could you please elaborate?"

Charlotte said again.

Baron Betel froze for a moment, then pondered:

"Yes, some aspects of the details still need to be carefully considered. Although some plans and measures are feasible and good in theory, they will be difficult to implement, and they are not very consistent with the actual situation..."

"For example, the undead. It's not that Violet didn't want to clean up Betel's undead before. It's just that the pollution of the barony is more serious than imagined. It's hard to solve everything without the help of Chi Yang, and the cost is too high..."

After hearing Baron Bettel's words, Charlotte nodded and said with a smile:

"Then can you propose some amendments to this plan?"

"Of course I would."

Baron Betel blurted out almost subconsciously.

Afterwards, he picked up the parchment scroll again, and discussed various planning questions with the young earl lord.

For a moment, he forgot that he was actually forced to meet the lord and accept "disposition"...
