Chapter 1392: Ten-Year Contract and Development Plan
"What if I do it, and you can't deliver it?" Jasmine asked, a little sharply.
Looking directly at Richard, Jasmine spoke: "Whether it is the development territory that satisfies me, or the opportunity to regain the legitimacy of the royal family of the Sika Kingdom, there are great variables, and I don't know what it will look like in ten years, how can you guarantee that I will not suffer?"
Richard pursed his lips and thought for a while: "If you are worried about this, then you can add another condition: in ten years, you have done everything I asked you to do, but I can't give you a satisfactory territory, and I can't let you have more than half of the chance of regaining the legitimacy of the Sika royal family, then Salyn is your territory." In this case, if you develop sarin, you will develop your own territory, right?"
Jasmine listened, opened her mouth and didn't make a sound, her eyebrows lowered in thought.
After pondering for a few minutes, Jasmine bit her lip and made a decision, looked at Richard and said seriously: "If you are serious, then I can agree to your request and cooperate with you for ten years of service in exchange for my own territory and the opportunity to regain the legitimacy of the Sika royal family."
However, just because I'm here for you doesn't mean I'm your subordinate. I will fulfill all your legitimate needs, but you cannot force me to do something that doesn't make sense. And you can't limit what I'm going to do. ”
"Yes. Richard nodded, "On the other hand, I won't force you to do something meaningless, and I won't restrict you from doing what you want to do, for the development of sarin, you have a lot of freedom, you can adjust it as you wish." But the premise of all this is that I need it, and you have to do it. ”
"Deal. Jasmine said solemnly.
With a wave of her hand, a scroll of parchment flew out of her sleeve with intricate writing on it.
Richard glanced at it, and saw that the text had something in common with Baltavin, allowing him to read the meaning vaguely: all the above said, the parties to the contract must abide by it...... If you disobey, your soul will fall into hell......
Jasmine showed the scroll and rolled it up again, holding one end of the scroll and said, "This is the prophecy contract scroll that I obtained with great difficulty from the ruins of an ancient wizarding civilization. As long as you and I hold this scroll and repeat the words of the promise, it will form a special binding force. Once either party does not keep its promise, the soul is tormented by mystical forces that will last for life. ”
After a pause, Jasmine raised her thin eyebrows and said to Richard: "Of course, if you don't believe me, think that this contract scroll is one-way beneficial to me." I can cast another prophecy spell, Tosk's True Word, to verify that what I said is true or false. ”
"No, I can sign this contract with you. Richard waved his hand and said, "But before I sign it, I feel obliged to remind you that even if I do, this contract will not be as binding on me as you think." Because, just now, I have thought of no less than three ways to break this contract, and if I put in the energy and time, I am very sure of success. So, instead of believing in the contract, it is better to believe in my honesty and say, I have never broken my word to you, right?"
Jasmine listened, and her face changed slightly. Based on his understanding of Richard, since Richard said it, it is not a big deal, and Richard does have the ability to break the contract with impunity. But it is not too reassuring for her to give up signing the contract and serve Shalin for ten years with only a verbal promise.
After pondering for a while, Jasmine said, "You really haven't broken your word. But even so, I still want to sign this contract with you, and it's always good to have an extra layer of insurance. Besides, you just said that you just have an idea, and you need to invest energy and time to break the contract successfully. I think, for someone who values your time so much, you really broke the contract, and you need to waste time to crack it, isn't it a punishment?"
"Very well, as you wish. Richard didn't hesitate, reached out and grabbed the other end of the scroll, and made a promise, successfully concluding a pact with Jasmine with magical effects.
After that, Jasmine took back the contract scroll, looked at Richard, her long eyelashes moved, and asked, "Can you tell me what you want now, so that I can know what I want to do in the future?"
"Okay, then I'll talk about it. Richard said, "It's just that I have a bit more needs, you have to be prepared." ”
"I expected that, let's say it. ”
"Okay. Richard didn't hesitate to speak, and said, "First of all, the first point. Sarin needs to be developed, and development requires a healthy system. The efficiency department is the top level of this system, responsible for all administrative operations, but in addition to the establishment of the efficiency department, there must be more and more detailed departments to cooperate and check and balance. Next, you will set up a series of detailed departments under the efficiency department. In my vision, these departments are:
The Ministry of Security, responsible for security, public security, etc.;
The Ministry of Ceremonies is responsible for communication and communication with the surrounding territories, the Soma Alliance, and the Sika Kingdom;
the Ministry of Law, which is responsible for the promulgation of administrative decrees and the penalties for violations of administrative laws;
Trade Department, responsible for business development and management;
the Department of Roads, which is responsible for road construction within Sarin;
The Finance Department is responsible for tax collection, fund allocation and other money-related work;
The Department of Audits, which is responsible for the supervision of the sarin institutions......
......”
After a long passage, pausing for Jasmine to remember and digest, Richard continued: "The second point. The development of sarin, in addition to a healthy system, requires a large number of people with a large number of highly qualified people, so it is necessary to find ways to attract the elite crowd to come. I have a list that I will give you later, and I need you to invite them to come and settle in Sharin. And outside of the list, you also need to work hard to dig and invite the rest of the valuable people to come.
You should understand that in the current world, wizards are very important existences and powerful resource mobilizers, so the more wizards you attract to Shalin, the faster Shalin can develop. As for what attracts these wizards...... You can tell them that Shalin has no money, food, beauty and other pleasures, and has the most profound knowledge of spells in the world at the moment, and even the knowledge that has been lost by the ancient wizarding civilization, Shalin also has. If they want to explore in the world of spells and want to improve themselves, then they can come to Sarin, and Sarin has their proper place.
Of course, the people we want to attract don't have to be wizards. It can also be a craftsman with exquisite craftsmanship, a well-trained warrior, a smart and studious young man, or even an experienced farmer...... In short, it's the elite in all fields......"
After saying the second point and letting Jasmine digest it again, Richard moved on to the third point.
"The third point. You have to understand ......"
And then the fourth, fifth......
Richard said for a long, long time before he finished speaking.
Jasmine barely wrote it all down, frowned deeply and nodded, "Okay, I'll find a way to fulfill all your requirements." But if there is something missing, you better remind me, after all, there are so many things you have asked me to accomplish, and I can't guarantee that nothing will be missed. ”
"Okay, I will. Richard said.
"That's fine. That's right. After getting down to business, Jasmine seemed to think of something. Finally, when he had the opportunity, he asked a small question, so he pointed to the building complex under him, and asked Richard quickly, "By the way, what is this place used for?" When the city was built, there should be an explanation for the investment that was so large, but it has been vacant after it was built, right?"
"Explain, there will be. Richard said softly, "As long as you find a way to attract a large number of people from outside the sarin, and when the people arrive, you will know what this place is for." ”
Jasmine: "......" In her opinion, there is no difference between what Richard said and what he didn't say.
However, she also knew that since Richard didn't want to say it now, it would be in vain to continue to ask, so she had to say: "Okay, then I'll find a way to attract people first." ”
"Hmm. Richard nodded in satisfaction.
