Chapter 170: The Imperial Capital Comes to Envoy (Ask for Recommendation!Ask for Subscription!)
Adolf's wife, Claire's mother, passed away more than ten years ago, Adolf devoted himself to studying the law, and did not remarry after that, and has always lived alone, so this time he came to Situ Jin's territory, although there are many people who have followed Adolf, but these people are almost all descendants of Adolf's mansion, and there is no family.

From this point of view, Situ Jin felt very guilty, Claire was Adolf's only family, and Adolf also lost his official position because of Situ Nan, but if it wasn't for Erwin to mention it, he probably wouldn't have thought of Adolf at all, which made him very self-blaming.
After Adolf went to the island, he stayed in Situ Jin's castle for two days, and Situ Jin's family wanted him to live with them, but Adolf said that he did not want to disturb the lives of his children, and he usually had to study the laws and regulations, so it was not suitable to live with his family, and he was more comfortable living alone.
After listening to Adolf's words and asking Situ Nan and Claire what they meant, Situ Jin personally took Adolf to choose a good house in Sakura City, and then helped Adolf move over.
I have to say that although Adolf is older, in terms of law, he is indeed an indisputable everyone!
Five days after Adolf arrived on the island, at his strong request, Situ Jin immediately announced his appointment to Adolf, the Chief Justice of the Isle of Eland, to the high-ranking officials of the island, and also formally issued a notice that the Supreme Court of the Isle of Eland would be officially opened in two days, and that all the work in the court would be under the sole responsibility of Justice Adolf. Everyone respected Adolf and knew his authority in the law, so naturally there was no objection to this.
Just after Situ Jin appointed Adolf, he also officially introduced Xiu to everyone, as well as the intelligence department led by Xiu.
After that, in accordance with Erwin's previous suggestion, Situ Jin announced that from now on, the relationship between the court and the intelligence agencies will be one of mutual supervision and mutual checks and balances, and the government affairs department has no right to meddle in the affairs between the two departments, but the government affairs department can let these two departments provide them with help within their capacity when their work needs it, provided that there must be Situ Jin's consent to prove it, of course, the court and the intelligence agency are directly responsible to Situ Jin.
Upon hearing this, Adolf immediately said that this was a bold attempt at the system, and he also proposed that if the system had been in operation for a period of time, then it could be written into the code of the island of Öland!
Adolf's participation not only made up for the shortcomings of the island in terms of law, but also made all the institutions on the island finally form a complete operating system.
The island is growing day by day, agriculture and commerce, fishery and forestry, and manufacturing are all going hand in hand, and the population and financial income are steadily increasing.
In the past, he would spend at least two hours a day on the office, but now his weekly office hours are less than an hour combined, Erwin is in charge of government affairs, Adolf is in charge of law, and he occasionally goes to see the army, and his adjutant Nada is already completely in charge of himself, although he has not found a talent for the time being, but Situ Jin also knows that this kind of thing is urgent.
As time passed, Situ Jin felt more and more that Erwin was not simple, and all the government affairs on the island were cumbersome, but Erwin was able to take care of everything in an orderly and effortless manner.
According to Stuart's observation, Erwin only spent two or three hours a day on official business, and the rest of the time was either reading books or drinking tea, and just recently, Stuart suddenly discovered that Erwin would go fishing with his father Situ Nan every afternoon, and the two did not return to the castle together until dinnertime.
Of course, Situ Jin would not have any dissatisfaction with this, in fact, he was very happy and glad, glad that Erwin got along so happily with his father, and glad that he had brought Erwin to Öland Island in the first place, otherwise Öland Island would definitely not be as prosperous as it is now.
Although he stayed on the island, Situ Jin knew everything about what was happening on the mainland every day! such as which countries on the mainland were at war again, such as which country was destroyed, and what some countries and forces were planning, as well as all the situations around the Yarrow Empire.
The Dawn Headquarters had been moved to Erland Island without realizing it, and no one knew about it except for Situ Jin, Xiu, and the other seven people at the Purple Level! Situ Jin had never been to the headquarters to see it, but all the information and intelligence in Dawn had been continuously gathered into his hands, and he knew the situation on the mainland well, but he remained silent.
On this day, someone from the imperial capital came and brought a message from Ferdinand to him.
It turned out that in recent days, Ferdinand got news that some countries in the southwest of the empire had bad intentions for a large area of territory south of the Smit Mountains of the empire, and had just experienced the war of the four small countries, although the empire finally won, but it was also greatly damaged, and it could not recover at all in the short term, Ferdinand gathered the courtiers to discuss for two whole days, and finally nothing was discussed, so he sent someone to ask Situ Jin's opinion.
After the envoy conveyed Ferdinand's words to Situ Jin, he said to Situ Jin: "Grand Duke Sakura, Your Majesty already knows the current development of Erland Island, and I would like to express my heartfelt congratulations to you on his behalf and send you a congratulatory gift!"
Hearing the envoy's words, the corners of Situ Jin's mouth hooked a smile, even if the envoy didn't say the next sentence, he could roughly guess what Ferdinand meant, after listening to this latter sentence, he was even more sure of his previous guess!
(Today a friend is here, I want to entertain a friend, there is only one watch!)
Although the territory of the empire is very large, the area south of the Smit Mountains is almost out of control, the existence of the Smit Mountains has blocked the north-south road of the empire, and the climate in the south of the empire has always been hot and rainy, except for some scattered small villages, few people are willing to live here, so for a long time, the empire has not been too concerned about the large area in the south.
However, it is one thing not to be concerned about oneself, and another thing to be remembered by others! Even if the empire no longer pays attention to this vast land, it is impossible to willingly give it to others, and this is the bottom line of a country's sovereign territory, and no monarch will turn a blind eye to anyone who wants to touch this bottom line.
Ferdinand would not give up this territory to others, but he also knew that the hand of the Empire could not reach south of the Smit Mountains, and even if he had the ability to reach out, he would inevitably have very limited touch.
So he thought of Situ Jin!
