Warhammer Wizard

Arkarand agreed so happily, but Ren was surprised.

The eye of the soul also saw that Aklande's emotions were far more intense than it seemed on the surface, and he was extremely excited and high-pitched, as if his long-cherished wish that had been unattainable for many years had finally been fulfilled, as if he could participate in the construction of the Principality of Augustus. Supreme glory.

"what's the situation?"

Ren murmured in his heart and said in surprise, "Can you decide for the Mechanic Union? This is no small matter."

What he meant was that Akland should at least go back and report to the mysterious president.

Akland was stunned for a moment, as if he was covering up something, and explained: "If you give the Mechanics Union such a big deal, the president will definitely not refuse. I promise you in advance that there is no problem."

There is indeed a problem!

Ren's heart is like a mirror, but his face is calm, "You'd better communicate with the President, and then give me a clear answer."

"Okay!" Akland nodded repeatedly.

However, the eye of the soul can still see clearly, even though Arkarand seems to have calmed down, he is actually very excited and wants to leave immediately and return to the empire.

Next, Ren roughly talked about his plan.

First and foremost is to build roads.

To get rich, build roads first! This is a well-known saying in the past life. How many people rely on these six words to get rid of poverty, and the economic benefits generated have stimulated the development of the entire region.

Rennes intends to use the highest standards for the seven cities under the Duchy's rule, all of which will build roads of the highest standards and connect them to each other. The streets in the city will also be re-planned and managed centrally, and new urban areas will be developed outside the city to accommodate more people.

At the same time, a railway will be built through the dragon forest to the port terminal of Kingsland.

The second is universal education and worker training.

This requires cooperation with schools and factories to liberate labor from the land, improve personal productivity, and fully tap human resources.

The third item is to establish a new governance system.

The Principality of Augustus is no longer that kind of backward feudal country. Except for Ren himself, there are no more real nobles, and all the land is owned by Ren himself. He will appoint talents, appoint a mayor to each city, establish a city hall, and be fully responsible for the construction of a city.

The mayor does not look at his body but only his talents. He will examine the mayor's political achievements every year.

Renn already has a set of ideas in his mind, roughly copying the municipal management system of the previous life, including finance, education, industry and commerce, health, public security, justice, etc., and there are more than a dozen bureaus in the initial concept. The candidates for these key positions are only the mayor. Nomination rights and final appointment rights are in their own hands.

Like the mayor, every director has to go through the screening of the soul's eye, and those who are unqualified will be replaced immediately.

The human heart is unpredictable, especially in politics.

In a previous life, even the most wise rulers would inevitably be deceived, and there would be moths under their command, corrupting the hearts of the team, and ultimately ended in a tragic end.

But in Ellenus, no wise mortal can resist the extraordinary.

The eye of the soul can penetrate the heart and easily distinguish the loyal and the traitor.

Ren is confident that there will not be too many mistakes, and no small actions can escape his own scrutiny.

Moreover, in the future, he will select a group of the most loyal Ultramarines as the backbone, and then replenish the manpower from the spear wing knights to form a "trial court" that only obeys his own orders, patrol the whole territory of the duchy, clean up the fallen and monsters, and have supervision. The power of officials can find out the criminals hidden among the nobles and commoners, and when necessary, they can be executed first and then slapped.

Rehn's goal is to build a powerful industrial country, not a capitalist who frantically squeezes surplus value.

Most of the profits produced by the citizens of the principality will be turned into welfare and fed back to them. Those newly built factories, schools, hospitals and public facilities are all owned by Duke Augustus, that is, Ren himself, but they are actually a bit like state-owned enterprises in the previous life. Units, unified distribution of benefits.

A stable and orderly country with relatively happy people, even if there are only a few millions of people, can provide an enormous amount of faith, far exceeding the free-range missionary model.

Rennes will also benefit a lot from it.

One is wealth, and the other is population, which are necessary elements to build a huge army.

The Spear Wing Knights will be vigorously expanded. In the future, the main source of troops will come from the Principality of Augustus. The most talented group will be selected from millions of people to become one of their most solid backers, second only to the Extreme Battle.

There is also a third benefit.

The development model of Augustus is like a test field. If the results are gratifying and the goddess approves, he decides to expand the scale, then...

The corners of Ren's mouth rose, and there seemed to be light flashing in his eyes.

Aklander listened to his plan, and the more he listened, the more surprised he became, but the more excited he became. He couldn't wait to say, "Ren, I'll go back and contact the President now, you wait for my good news."

Ren had already seen that he couldn't sit still, so he nodded.

After personally sending Akland into the teleportation formation, Ren turned around and entered the main hall of Dragon's Back Fort, where many people have been waiting for a long time.

"Meet the Duke."

Ren took the main seat in the hall, and a group of people below saluted.

These people are the upper class of Longji City, nobles, businessmen and extraordinary people, as well as representatives of all walks of life, all of them are famous and famous people in the city. During this period of time, the power in Longji City was empty, and they jointly organized an extraordinary guard to maintain order in the city.

Of course, taking advantage of the good opportunity to control the city, these people did not forget to use their hands to benefit themselves.

They were suddenly summoned by the Spearwing Knights, and they didn't know what the new duke had planned.

Ren's eyes swept over everyone, read the minds of over a hundred people, and said in a low voice:

"Don't be too polite, everyone, sit down."

After the sound of clattering, Ren continued: "I invite everyone to Dragon's Back Castle today. There are a few things to announce."

The people below are all refreshed, knowing that the next words will be related to their future.

"The first thing."

Ren stretched out a finger, "Dragon's Back City will become the capital of the Principality of Augustus," he stretched out a second finger, "Augustus Principality will not have any real lords except me. ."

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of surprise in the hall.

Dragon's Back City was originally the territory of Viscount Felton. This family has been uprooted, but there are still several vassal lords alive under Felton. There are six people in total, each with a piece of knighthood, and the area does not exceed the population. A town belonging to the lowest kind of petty aristocracy.

However, even a piece of knighthood is a land that countless people only dream of and cannot obtain.

The six lords had the most intense reactions. They were all extraordinary, and they were the only real nobles in Longji City. They used to be loyal to Viscount Felton, and they did not follow Viscount Felton when he abandoned the city and fled, nor did they participate in the usurpation war that year, so they escaped Emily's revenge purge.

One of the lords was about to object when Ren's eyes came over, and it was as if a basin of ice water had been poured on his head, his face was pale, and he couldn't say a word.

The other five noble lords were also trembling.

"I allow you to keep the title of your lord and the castle where your family lives." Ren said in an unquestionable tone: "In addition, all land ownership, taxation and law enforcement in the territory will be returned to Austria. The Gustus family."

"After depriving the fief, your family's private army must be disbanded on the spot. Taking the family as a unit, you cannot recruit more than ten extraordinary guards at most."

"Whoever has a different opinion can put it up now."

Every word of Ren is like a knife, piercing the hearts of the six noble lords. This is depriving them of their fief and glory. Without the land, how can the family continue?

However, in the face of an extraordinary person at the pinnacle of legend, who personally killed Mark's King Killer, there were two teams of extreme warriors staring at him. No matter how much opposition there was, no one dared to say it.

Everyone was silent, and the hall was silent for half a minute.

In the end, no one dared to stand up against it.

"Very good." Ren smiled and said to the six noble lords, "I will give you three days to hand over the jurisdiction in the territory."

Then, he stretched out his third finger, "Dragon's Back City will appoint a mayor to manage the city for me. The mayor is not limited by background, age, or gender, as long as those who have the confidence to qualify for the position, Anyone can sign up.”

"If I have an excellent performance appraisal during my tenure as mayor, I can consider granting the title of nobility."

"In addition, there are more than a dozen positions second only to the mayor, each responsible for one aspect, with different rights and welfare benefits."

Many people's eyes lit up.

They are very unfamiliar with the name mayor, and only a few people have heard that many cities in the empire have a mayor. Although according to the words of the Duke, the mayor is only a position and does not have a fief, but the power in his hands is no less than that of the city lord.

Managing hundreds of thousands of people inside and outside Longji City is by no means an easy task.

But what is this compared to the power that can be obtained?

Immediately someone stood up and asked, "Lord Duke, are there any requirements for being the mayor? What are the criteria for being excellent in the assessment?"

This is what everyone wants to ask.

Ren took out a stack of materials and sent it down. This is the process he wrote before, and said, "Everyone of you can take a copy and go back and read it. I will also have people post notices in the city. Everyone has the same After a week, everyone who participates in the registration will be arranged for an exam, and the content of the exam will be determined by me.”

"The content of the examinations for different positions is different, and each person can only apply for one position."

"The top five in terms of performance will be eligible to enter the second interview. I will select the final winner among these five people and take the corresponding position."

"Oh, that's right." Ren smiled at the crowd below, "I have all the right to interpret this process and the outcome of the appointment."

Everyone in the hall looked at each other.

take an exam?

They had never heard of this method of recruiting officials in their entire lives, and Congatro didn't even have a decent school, let alone an exam.

This kind of novel mode made some secretly shake their heads, thinking that the newly-arrived duke was just a nonsense.

But there are also people who are eager to try, as if they see the hope of getting ahead.

Ren didn't have the patience to explain more and let everyone disband and go home.

In less than half a day, the word spread throughout Longji City. Almost everyone heard that the Duke would pass an exam to appoint the mayor and be responsible for managing the entire Longji City.

For a while, both the upper-class nobles and the lower-class civilians were talking about it.

There were discussions everywhere in the streets, in pubs and hotels, and the notice boards in the city were crowded with people, crowded.

And Ren, the initiator of all this, has taken Bolch and the Ultramarines to Stream City. He spent three days traveling through the Principality of Augustus, repeating the same process seven times, depriving the remaining nobles of their fiefs, and announcing his own policy plan.

Under the strong suppression, no one dared to oppose it.

At the same time, Ren used the eye of the soul to screen loyal people in each city, and recruited a group of extraordinary people to form a temporary security team to execute his will.

Of the seven territories within the Principality, two are located in the north of the Dragon Forest, namely Dragon's Back City and Stream City.

These two territories have the largest population, occupying two-thirds of the entire principality. The terrain is flat and will become the economic center of the principality in the future.

The five territories south of the Dragon Forest originally belonged to the Principality of Lauberdil. Although the area is larger, the terrain is rugged, dominated by hills and mountains, and the population is scattered and difficult to manage. However, this area is rich in mineral resources, including many gray coal mines and iron mines. As long as the transportation problem is solved, a large amount of industrial raw materials can be provided.

Ren gradually had a blueprint for development in his heart.

When he returned to Dragon's Back City on the fourth day and set foot on the teleportation array back to Glamorgan, Akarand brought back good news. The president of the Mechanics Union had agreed to cooperate and gave a preliminary plan.

Ren looked at the plan of the Mechanics Union, the manpower and material resources, mechanical equipment and preparations in various aspects were huge, most of which were transported from the empire to the Principality of Augustus by ships and airships, and even prepared at the airship take-off and landing site in Glamorgan, Build a long-distance teleportation array.

This generous effort shows the unremitting support of the Mechanics Union.

Ren pondered for a long time, and the eye of the soul observed Akland from time to time, and noticed some clues from his urgent attitude.

It seems that the mechanics union is more concerned about building the duchy than itself~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This is a bit unusual.

He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "I wonder if I can have the honor to meet the President?"

"Sorry." Akalander smiled bitterly, "The President is uncertain, and I managed to get in touch with him. He asked me to tell the Duke that the Mechanics Union has no malicious intentions. On the contrary, the Mechanics Union is willing to reach a better deal with the Duke. In-depth and comprehensive cooperation.”

"In order to show the sincerity of the mechanical union, the three million gold shields invested in the motorcycle factory are from the union, and the Duke still owns 10% of the shares."

"The President also said that when the time is right, he will meet the Duke."

Ren was even more curious.

The Eye of the Soul confirmed that Akland was not lying, and that the conditions offered by the Mechanic Union were unbelievably good, sending money, things and people. There is no free lunch in the world. Obviously, the mysterious president is either asking for himself, or he has other plans. I am afraid that this great favor will not be repaid in the future.

But it's not easy to refuse.

Not to mention, the mechanical trade union is a huge force in the empire, especially in terms of financial resources, it is unrivaled, and I also need their support.

Ren thought for a long time, and finally nodded: "Thank you, Your Excellency, for me, and wish us a happy cooperation."
