On January 20th, the temperature in the south of the Scarlet Continent had turned cold, and the people of the entire Fire Wheat Collar gradually began to add clothes, but fortunately, the Fire Wheat Collar was located in the south, and although the temperature in winter was low, it did not reach the point of freezing on the water surface.

Alan was wearing a thick embroidered silk robe, leaning back on a chair in the garden of the Twilight Castle, basking in the sun.

On the side of the flowers, in the stone pavilion, Erin and Alyssa were talking about something, laughing like silver bells from time to time.

Soon after taking the Fire Wheat Territory, Alan moved the nine headquarters to the Twilight City in order to facilitate the management of the entire territory, and he himself moved to the Twilight Fort with the Charles family.

The sound of light footsteps came from behind him, it was Barton.

"Your Excellency, Director Nine and Lord Antonio, they've arrived!"

"Hmm!"

When Alan heard this, he stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the castle.

Tomorrow is the annual harvest festival on the mainland, but Alan knows that for the people of the Fire Wheat Territory who have just experienced the war, some people may not be able to celebrate the festival happily.

Before the festival, Alan summoned the director of the Ninth Division, as well as Antonio and others, naturally wanting them to report on the current governance of the Fire Wheat Collar.

Allen's footsteps were fast, and dozens of seconds later, Allen entered the unique conference room on the first floor of Twilight Castle, the conference room occupied a large area, and there was a large glass window on the north and south sides, at this time, Antonio, Kant and the directors of the Nine Divisions were all standing in the conference room.

"Lord Earl!" Seeing Allen walking in, everyone bowed and saluted in unison.

"Hmm!sit down!" Alan nodded, and then sat down at the top of the oval conference table.

"Yes!"

Everyone immediately chose a seat and sat down, the directors of the nine divisions chose to sit on the east side of the conference table, and Antonio, Kant, Captain Fran and others sat together on the west side.

"The reason why I'm looking for everyone, you naturally know it, let's start with the household registration office first!" said Allen, turning his gaze to Tony, the director of the household registration office.

"Yes!" said Tony, the head of the household registration department, who immediately stood up and said.

"Lord Earl, the Household Registration Office is still continuing, because the current statistical scope of the Household Registration Office has suddenly expanded to the entire county, among which there are not only many viscounts, but also a large twilight territory, and the population is too large.

There is an urgent shortage of household registration officials in various places, so if you want to complete the compilation of the entire population of the county, I am afraid that the time will be delayed until after the harvest festival. Tony said bitterly with a sad face.

Registering the people of the new territory is, in Tony's view, one of the two pillars of the entire household registration office, the other being the measurement of land.

These two tasks, no matter which one, with the current scale of the household registration office, are not easy to complete, and now the household registration office is busy in order to complete the compilation of the residents of the countdom, but even so, when it comes to the harvest festival, the registration action is only half completed, except for the twilight collar, and now the night collar has been completed.

Under such a heavy burden, he is busy every day, so that Tony, who is only middle-aged, has begun to have gray hair on his head, and the most terrible thing is that even if the household registration office completes the compilation of the register, there is another mountain waiting for them, that is, land measurement!

"Well, now that the territory has increased so many people all of a sudden, it's normal for your household registration office to be busy in a short period of time! But even so, you can't be lax in your actions, and you can't let some ill-intentioned people hide it!" Alan nodded, not meaning to reprimand, but only slightly admonished Tony.

"Yes, Lord Earl!" said Tony, with a smile on his face.

After Tony sat down, Barry, who was the chief of security, took over.

"My lord, my garrison has developed rapidly, because of the absorption of some of the soldiers who have retired from the territory, as well as a group of people from the surrender of several other viscounties, so that the garrison is abundant, and now the garrison has spread all over the entire county, and the pattern of a general office and seven branches has taken the lead in forming, and after the garrison office has been settled, the security of various places has been greatly improved!" Barry said meticulously.

After hearing this, Allen's face showed satisfaction, in his opinion, now the ninth garrison is the fastest development, with soldiers who have surrendered from all over the country and retired from the original territory, the problem of personnel shortage has been solved, and it is for this reason that the garrison can quickly spread all over the county.

As for the pattern of one headquarters and seven branches mentioned by Barry, it was proposed by Allen and was intended to be implemented in the entire nine divisions, the main office was the headquarters of the Twilight City Security Office, and the subdivisions were Musen Branch, White Wood Branch, Night Branch, etc., which were respectively located in the city of the original seven viscountdoms, and controlled the land security of the entire area of the original viscountdom.

......

The other chiefs of the next nine divisions also reported one after another, and it didn't take long for Captain Jill of the first fleet to take their turn.

Despite his age, Captain Jill is still strong and has a loud voice.

"My lord, now more than 20 large ships in the Blue Water Collar Port have been included in the first and second fleets, and now the ships of the two fleets together have a total of forty, and the personnel are basically replenished. And the first and second fleets in the fishing port have all moved to the port of the blue water collar!"

The Blue Water Collar was destroyed by Allen, and the merchant ships of the Blue Water Caravan were attributed to Allen, which means that there are now as many as forty ships of Count Huomai.

Forty large ships are naturally not suitable for staying in a small fishing port, so Allen transferred them to Black Shark Port, a large port that was originally a blue water collar, and the fleet will sail back and forth from this port and Heilan Port in the future.

More than an hour passed in a flash, and the actions and achievements of various departments still satisfied Allen, but when it was Antonio's turn to speak, the joy on Allen's face gradually faded.

"My lord, last night, at the border, I caught a few spies, and after interrogation, I didn't get much useful information, these people are ordinary soldiers in Buga City, and they came to secretly explore the border terrain of the Fire Wheat Territory, which is the original Earl of Reagan! These people are also acting on orders, and the specific reason is unknown!" Antonio said with a serious face.

Under Allen's order, Antonio's Knights of the Blue Wilderness are now stationed on the eastern border of the Fire Wheat Territory to deter and block possible enemy forces on the part of the Marquis of Lane, whether it is the army under the command of the Marquis of Lane or the army of the Duchy of Blue, they are within the scope of the Knights of the Blue Wilderness.
