An hour later, in the hall of the castle on the left side of the Baron's Palace, all the core characters of the island had arrived. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Everyone sat on either side of the center of the hall, and most of these people were the same people who had returned from the Continental Academy with Stuart, such as Geraint, Bedwell, Tristan, Bazel, Ralph, Howard, and others.
It is worth mentioning that Gareth did not have any specific duties on the island, since he came to the island, he has spent almost most of his time exploring various ingredients on the island.
Let's just say that Situ Wan and Situ Lei Yao just came to his side in the past two days, Situ Jin wanted to find Gareth to cook some food for his younger brothers and sisters, so that they could taste Gareth's craftsmanship, but in the morning, after Situ Jin asked Hutt to send someone to find Gareth, he soon got the news that Gareth returned to the city a few days ago and stayed for less than two days before leaving!
Before going to the island, Gareth had always made a look of being very scared and frightened of the island, but when he went to the island, his behavior was completely inconsistent with his previous words! Alone, he dared to go almost anywhere! Perhaps, this is the powerful allure of unknown ingredients for foodies!
Gao Wen sat on the right hand side of Situ Jin, he was the only one in the army, there was no way, now he was the only general in the army, and he was still temporary!
Compared to the sun-drenched appearance of the past, Gawain now looked a little haggard, and just two days ago, he had just finished recruiting new recruits on the island. Five legions of 25,000 men, plus the one he had originally led, now there are six legions on the island - 30,000 regular soldiers!
Just these 30,000 people, it made Gawain feel a headache, not to mention the regiment he led before, the recruits who just came were all civilians, and Gawain seemed to be dumbfounded and had never seen the world, just teaching them to stand in line made him tired half to death.
Even if Situ Jin didn't summon everyone today, Gao Wen would have to come to Situ Jin! He had now begun to seriously doubt his ability, could it be said that he really didn't have the talent to be a general from a family of political officials? Otherwise, why would he be so exhausted with only 30,000 soldiers!
Originally, Situ Jin said that these recruits would be brought by him personally, considering that Situ Jin was already busy enough every day, Gao Wen also wanted to try his best to help Situ Jin share the points, but now he didn't have this mind, not that he didn't sympathize with Situ Jin, but he really couldn't do it!
Actually, this is not to blame Gawain, from childhood to adulthood, he has learned the methods of leading noble soldiers, and the contacts are all noble soldiers, and he is really at a loss to let him lead civilian soldiers, he is really at a loss, he doesn't understand the psychology of these civilian soldiers, and he can't communicate with them. If it's just a few civilian soldiers, it's fine, but he really can't bring more.
For Gao Wen, Situ Jin actually has a position in his heart, Gao Wen is suitable for leading an excellent soldier, the more excellent the soldier, the more he can show Gao Wen's talent, and the worse the soldier, the less he will bring. If it weren't for the fact that there were no suitable generals on the island, Situ Jin would not have let Gawain temporarily command the troops.
Geraint sat on the right hand side of Stuart, and after the main city was built, Szeto Jin transferred him from the Bureau of Population and Resources Management, and let him temporarily take the position of city lord, in charge of the affairs of the main city, and the work of the Bureau of Population and Resources was completely in charge of Bedwell.
If there was only one city on Situ Jin's island, he would not have set up any city lord position, but the problem was that soon there would be more cities on his island, and it was not practical for him to directly manage these cities, so he set up the position of city lord! Compared with the city lords in other parts of the empire, the city lords in Situ Jin's territory have no military power, only political power!
The embarrassing thing is that there are only seven or eight people under Geraint's subordinates and him! He said that he was the city lord, but he was almost like a bare-bones commander, and he was not afraid of jokes when he said it.
Not only Geraint suffered, but also the seven or eight people below him! In fact, strictly speaking, they were not clerks or law enforcement officers! They were responsible persons in charge of agriculture, forestry, industry, fishery, and commerce in the main city, and they were directly responsible to the city lord, but now, they also went down to do errands in person every day! Fortunately, everything on the island had just started, otherwise they would not have been able to finish running even if they broke their legs, and with the recent surge in the population of the island, the pressure on everyone's hearts has increased dramatically.
What's funny is that, like Gawain, Geraint is also planning to come to Situ Jin today, to be exact, he has to come to Situ Jin!
Geraint will not pour bitter water with Situ Jin, the more this situation is now, the more he feels that it is meaningful and valuable for them to come here, he just regrets it a little, he knew that Situ Jin was in this situation, he should have chosen more people to come back with Situ Jin when he was in Donghua!
He doesn't talk to Situ Jin, but he has to reflect the current situation with Situ Jin, if he doesn't give him some clerks, then the work will not be carried out at all!
Sitting next to Gawain was John, who now wore many hats, in addition to managing the firm for Szeto, his main job now was to assist Mrs. Lee Kerst in managing the island's commercial areas, and all commercial policies were issued from him and Mrs. Lee Kerster, of course, with the consent of Steo!
In addition to this, John also temporarily acted as the island's treasurer, to put it bluntly, in charge of money! However, because Situ Jin had explicitly ordered that all islanders who settled on the island should be exempted from taxes for two years, the island's income now is not much, and the main income comes from the commercial tax levied on foreign merchants!
If it weren't for Situ Jin's underground kingdom that could continuously export funds to him, let alone the main city, he might not even be able to build a decent castle now!
Because he didn't have much money in his hands, there were few things, and John's situation was probably the best compared to the situation of the others present! And he could also transfer people from the trading house to help him, so he was quite comfortable now!
Others, such as Bazel and Ralph, all have similar problems to Geraint, mainly due to the lack of people!
From this point of view, Situ Jin really found the right one to find everyone today, because now is also the time when everyone wants to find him and react to him.
Erwin was standing beside Situ Jin, although everyone noticed his existence, but most people just glanced at him and didn't pay attention to him anymore, compared to an unfamiliar face, everyone is now more concerned about how to carry out their next work!
