Valley Wooden Fort, second floor of the Lord's Mansion.

Art held his son, Little George, who had just turned one year old, dressed in a suit of his grandmother's underwear sewn from raw silk satin, and a brocade hat on his head, which was enough for an ordinary person to support for a year.

Little George was already able to babble, but he stared nervously at Art with his big round eyes, his mouth getting more and more deflated, and it was obvious that he didn't have much affection for the strange man in front of him,

Holding and teasing for a long time, little George didn't laugh, Art was a little frustrated, the smile on his face was also a little stiff, since his son was born, he was basically out of the war, and there was really not much time to spend with the child at home, although everyone around him, including his wife Lottie, felt that it was understandable, but Art himself still had a different feeling.

Camille took the grinning little George out of the room.

Lottie turned back behind Art, who was lying back in the chair, and reached out to pinch his shoulder and rub his back, "Art, I heard that you canonized O'Doangus and their fiefdom under civil jurisdiction, is it true?" ”

Damn, it's one more time less! Zhai Shuyuan.zhaishu玉an., the fastest update

"I know what you're going to do, but won't that turn them off? After all, you have canonized the land to them, but they have no actual jurisdiction. ”

"They are all the most core officers under me, and if they want to sit on the power of the territory now, then there is no need to continue to follow me. None of them are stupid people who know where the vault is. ”

"Master, all the people from the civil affairs have arrived." Ron knocks on the door to alert Art.

"I'll come down right away." Art jumped up from his chair, removed the belt from the hanger, and followed him out of the room......

Day, I can't see it and there is a missing paragraph! For a second to remember, Zhai Shuyuan (.zhaishu玉an.).

Nowadays, there are more than 30 officials in the civil affairs system (only the management level, not including the craftsmen and handymen in the workshop area), and the civil affairs officials have five types of chief officials under the jurisdiction of commerce, tun affairs, construction, workshops, and judges, and there are one or two adjutants under the chief officer, and then there are stewards, deputy stewards, and officials, in addition to the two institutions directly under the civil affairs officials, the medical workshop and the school.

Fortunately, after the establishment of the framework of the civil affairs system, the officials are also working hard in an orderly manner under the dispatch of the old Cooper, and the civil affairs are non-military, as long as the environment is stable, there will be no major problems.

The left and right sides of the long table in the hall are full of civil officials, near the left and right sides of the main seat are the civil affairs officer Cooper and the sheriff and judge (newly adjusted) Bass, Bass is more special, his main position is the commander of the valley garrison corps, which is subordinate to the military position of the army, but the garrison corps under his command is recruited by the people, and several chief officers and adjutants of the civil administration system are also serving in some positions in the garrison corps, and the main thing is that Buzz is also the valley sheriff and judge, so he is also a civil affairs officer.

In the civil system, Bass was ranked after Salter, the merchant officer, and Scott, the canton, but since Bass had been promoted to the rank of fiefdom knight, everyone also had the courtesy to let him sit to the right of the main seat.

To the left and right of the throne are Salter, the commercial officer, Scott, the canton, Lawrence, the construction officer, Bard, the aide-de-camp, Thomas, the chief healer, Gehr, the adjutant of the canton, Lynn, the adjutant of the canton, Manid, the commercial steward, Raven, the commercial steward, Guy, the steward of the parish school, Fanayu, the valley healer, and the chief craftsman, Diem......

Before Art came down, all the civil officials whispered to each other about the upcoming reward and promotion.

The results of the army's commendation and canonization have already reached the ears of the civil affairs people, who know that their identity and merits can never be compared with the officers and soldiers of the army who rely on their lives, but Art has let Cooper let the wind out, he is very satisfied with the work of the civil affairs, and intends to reward them heavily.

Between the heads and ears, Art, dressed in civilian clothes, had already descended the stairs to the first floor, and everyone immediately got up (took off their hats) to salute Art.

Art smiled kindly and waved, then came to the main seat and sat down gently.

"How? Can't wait, right? Art looked around and joked.

The crowd laughed a few times.

"It is customary to report on the general situation of the valley before each civil affairs meeting, and civil affairs are not the army, and your credit is in these general figures. Cooper. Yate motioned to the civil magistrate to report on the valley.

Cooper's beard and hair became grayer, but his eyes also became more and more trembling, and he picked up a few birch barks, and Cooper began to speak: "Sir, gentlemen, I will give a brief account of the situation in the valley in several large parts."

"In terms of land and population: At present, the territory under the actual control of the adult is six villages (two new ones, and two are planning to be newly built), the border outpost, the garrison camp of Boulder Town, Ryan Manor, Wincheston Manor, and Southwest Farm, with 19,860 acres of land, 932 households, 3,292 people, excluding the army. This is the total number at the end of last year, and since the beginning of the year, several groups of people have been recruited, especially last month, and the number of people has exceeded 5,000, but these new people still need to consume food......"

"In terms of grain reserves: In the past two years, the civil administration has never stopped the purchase and reserve of grain, and now the people of the divided land have achieved grain self-sufficiency, and the civil administration has built five large granaries in Mubao, with 200,000 pounds of grain in reserve, 100,000 pounds of grain in Gujiandi Village, more than 200,000 pounds of grain reserves at the border outpost, Beiguan Military Fort, and the garrison barracks of Jushi Town, and the rest of the villages and manors have also stockpiled grain, especially the Southwest Farm, Wincheston Manor and Ryan Manor have each reserved 100,000 pounds of grain. These nearly a million pounds of grain are all used as the war ration reserve according to the requirements of the adults, and these grains will not be used without the orders of the adults, and every two years one-third of the old grain will be replaced with the newly harvested grain. Half of the nearly a million pounds of grain was collected from war gains and taxes paid by the territory (three estates), and the remaining half was purchased at civilian expense. ”

"In terms of workshop craftsmanship: At present, the valley workshops are concentrated in the workshop area under the valley of Walsburg (not yet built), which is still a textile workshop, a winery, a carpentry workshop, and a weapon (iron) workshop, and there are three craftsmen, 27 craftsmen, 46 apprentices, and 78 handymen. The weaving workshop spun 220 horses of woollen cloth, linen and cotton cloth per month, and the brewery brewed 500 barrels of beer (30 pound barrels) and 200 barrels of wine (30 pound barrels) per month. The carpentry workshop is mainly used as an auxiliary for the brewery and weapons workshop; The Weapons Workshop is currently capable of producing 15 sets of half-body plate armor, 1 set of full-body plate armor, and 50 sets of weapon shields (including spears, shields, swords, axes, bows, etc.) per month. The weapons workshop is currently completely consumed, and the profits earned by the brewery and the weaving workshop are simply not enough to produce weapons and armor, and we can only allocate money from the civil treasury to supply consumption, and this money is temporarily counted as military consumption. Now the weapon workshop is most lacking in high-quality iron, after the war in the north, we can no longer buy high-quality iron from the north, and the caravan can only buy slightly inferior iron from Provence to barely use. ”

"In terms of commerce and trade: this year's turmoil in the Northland, the situation of European commercial banks is not optimistic, we allocated 200,000 fennigs to expand European commercial banks last year, and now even the principal of 200,000 fennigs has not been recovered. After the war in the Northland, the sales channels of the European trading houses in the south were cut off, and the income from the western route exported to the Kingdom of France and the eastern route to Swabia could only barely maintain the operation of the European commercial houses themselves. At present, we have established seven transit points in Provence, namely Vilno on the southern border of Provence, Aosta in the south, Kitsby in the north, Lyon in the central region, Roana in the northwest, and two points in the border post of Burgundy and Geraru. At present, the European Continental Commercial Bank has two caravans of 30 carriages, 87 caravans, 35 stewards and clerks, and 10 caravans of 10 scales. According to the estimates of Salter and others, if the Northland Trade Road is restored, the annual profit of the European commercial bank will not be less than 600,000 fennig. ”

"In the case of law and order: since the establishment of the magistrates and magistrates of the realm, three people have been executed, seven imprisoned, fifteen slaves, seven expelled, and one thousand three hundred fines confiscated in the Valley."

"In terms of taxes and civil affairs: since the European commercial banks made a profit of less than 10,000 pfennies last year, all territories in the valley (including border commercial tax revenues) collected various taxes equivalent to 234,500 pfennigs last year, 32,800 pfennies for the salaries of civil officials in the valley, 145,300 pfennies for recruitment and resettlement of lords and reclamation of wasteland, 98,600 pfennies for the workshop district, 30,000 pfennies for the construction site of Welsburg, 23,000 pfennies for the two newly built villages, and 91,000 pfennies for the purchase of grain reserves. Overall, the civil administration owed a total of 138,500 pfennigs last year. These are only the consumption of the civil affairs system, and military spending has to be calculated separately. ”

As soon as Cooper's last set of data came out, the joy of expanding the territory in front of him and the increasing number of people gradually diluted, and the loss of a hard year was so huge, which made everyone's mood more and more heavy, especially several officials of the European Continental Comptoir, they had really worked hard in the past year, they had to travel in Provence for a year to have the current situation, but a war in the north paralyzed the Continental Comptoir, although these were expected things, but the morale of the Continental Comptoir was still low.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little sluggish, Yate patted the table lightly, "Everyone, the matter of the European Continental Commercial Bank has been said more than once, and it is already very difficult for the European Commercial Bank to gain a firm foothold and maintain its operation in the southern source of goods during this war season, which is a great achievement in itself; As for the loss of civil administration in the valley, this is also a long-term investment, civil affairs and the army are different, the army comes and spends a lot of money, but the cost of civil affairs comes back slowly, and this is a spring, which is endless. During the Northern Expedition, our army seized a lot of money and materials, which was enough to maintain the operation of the army and civil affairs this year. ”

"So you don't have to be frustrated, keep your heads up." Yate raised his voice.

"Before commending all the meritorious heroes, I will arrange a few things."

"First, the civil administration will arrange for officials to go to all parts of Tinets County as soon as possible to verify the situation in the county, and I don't think the situation reported to me by the lords and squires is unreliable, and this matter is led by Scott, and the rest of the officials cooperate."

"Second, the civil administration will go to the fiefdom canonized to several knights of the army as soon as possible and select reliable people to manage the fief, and then select officials from the civil administration to take over, and this matter will be the responsibility of Cooper himself."

"Third, after you go down, you will think about how to govern Tinets County, including reclamation, people, taxes, officials, laws, etc., and I will convene you to discuss later, and this will be led by Cooper."

"Fourth, let the workshop send people to search for mineral deposits, especially iron ore, in and around Tinets, and Dim will arrange this matter."

"Yes, we wrote it down." Several civil officials spoke in unison.

"Alright, now let's start rewarding the civil administration."

"Cooper, the civil officer, shall be honored with two acres of land, a reward of 1,000 fennigs, and a mansion, and the construction officer shall be responsible for the construction."

"Commercial officer Salter, reward 4,000 fennigs, and give a mansion."

"Scott, the commissioner, is a knight of one acre of land, and a reward of fifteen hundred pfennig."

"Lawrence, the construction officer, shall be honored with one acre of land, and a reward of one thousand fennigs, and a homestead (not a mansion)."

"Badd, the lieutenant of the workshop, a reward of 1,000 fennig."

Day, I can't see it and there is a missing paragraph! For a second to remember, Zhai Shuyuan (.zhaishu玉an.).

"Lieutenant ......"
