In the spring, Blackhammer Castle ushered in a rainy day for the first time in a long time. The dripping rain pounded on the rocks of the castle and on the glass windows of the office, making a ticking sound, which was quite smelly. It's like going back to the small streets and alleys and bluestone pavements when I was a child, and the rain falls along the eaves and splashes on the uneven pavement.

Rhodes opened the window to let in the scent of earth and rain, a rare breath of life in the North. Looking condescendingly at the crowd coming and going in the town, Rhodes knew that the farmers in Errengrad had probably begun to sow seeds.

Walking over to the familiar desk, Rhodes picked up his quill and began to plan and build the administrative system of Blackhammer Castle. In the past, the situation in which the castle lord handled all the affairs alone had to be changed, and Rhodes knew that he was not a god, and the Chosen One was not a god after all, so he couldn't handle so many things at the same time. Before, Black Hammer Fort was just a small castle with a few hundred people, but now, the people in the territory have reached four or five thousand people, and at such a scale, if you rely on yourself to deal with daily affairs, it will collapse sooner or later.

The new system must be introduced as soon as possible to meet the growing demand for management. It will be difficult to change it when everything is already in shape in the future.

According to some conventional methods, the management of Black Hammer Fort was divided into several departments, such as the Ministry of Agriculture, the Price Bureau, the Education Bureau, the Industry and Commerce Bureau, the Health Bureau, the Forestry Bureau, the Ministry of Urban Construction, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Justice Bureau, the Security Bureau, the Finance Bureau, the Economic and Trade Bureau, and so on. After the general framework is settled, the specific branch jurisdiction and staffing are subdivided. For example, the Department of Agricultural Training is under the Ministry of Agriculture, while the Medical College is under the Department of Education, the logging team is under the jurisdiction of the Forestry Department, and so on.

Of course, there are still many vacancies in this framework at present, for example, the Education Bureau will not only manage a medical school in the future, but also the College of Finance and Economics, the Forestry University, the Agricultural University, and so on. These universities will be built as a template with the medical school, and will be unified under the jurisdiction of the education department, so that all matters related to education will be in charge of a single person, and there will be no need to poke everything on their side.

Therefore, the construction of talent team is so important, even imminent. Through this period of observation, Ruder Finn has also been working on talent for its own administrative system. Aristocrats or commoners?

It's a conundrum. Civilians are simple-minded, and if you promote them to important positions from the bottom, make them knights or something, they will be grateful to you and work hard. But there is a problem, this is the medieval world, the common people are generally illiterate and uneducated. To have these people sit in an office and deal with paperwork is going to kill them.

Although it is possible to teach them to master the knowledge of words and various aspects, it takes time, and it will not work for three or five years. In fact, making the people illiterate and not hearing what is going on outside the window is also deliberately done by the nobles and upper rulers of the medieval world, without learning and literacy, they cannot read, they cannot read, they have no thoughts, and those who have no thoughts are the best to rule, and the knights and lords are whatever they say, and there is no room for argument.

Going back to the previous topic, if you promote the nobles to be the heads of these departments. Well, the problem is even greater. The aristocracy was originally engaged in this business, and although they were familiar with rule and management, they were also very prone to corruption and concealment. It is very common to receive benefits and make it convenient. Greed in human nature cannot be contained, the difference is that some people are more intense, while others are not so greedy for it. But the greed that is ingrained in our nature cannot be eradicated.

The nobles were good at scheming and official skills, and they handed over important positions to them, and Rhodes was not at ease. Although it is possible for civilians to master these unspoken rules after a period of "learning", it will take a while for good or bad corrosion, and during this time, it is completely possible to discover.

After thinking about it for a long time, Rod had another idea - to introduce theocracy into the entire management system. The power of religion is terrifying, it can turn people into paranoids and psychopaths, but at the same time, if used wisely, it can also become a powerful force to restrain people's behavior. For example, everyone believes that murder and theft will be punished by God, so no one dares to do so, and social order is stabilized...... Three k

Many kings and lords did not want to make the power of religion too visible, in fact, they were afraid that it would get out of control, and once the number of believers reached a certain size, the religious leaders would have enough capital to confront the authorities, in other words, the people would prefer to believe what the high priest said and no longer obey the words of the lord. This is the case with the so-called incompatibility between the power of the king and the power of God. However, this does not exist in Rhodes, on the contrary, the kingship and the divine power are inadvertently highly unified, because Rhodes himself is the Chosen One...... The Chosen Son represents God's will, which couldn't be simpler. Therefore, the problem that caused headaches for all lords and kings became the most advantageous tool on their own side......

Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help but have an idea. Just as she had given the medical school to Lyanna, the priestess, who was both the chief priestess of the Abbey of Sarac and the head of the medical school, had no fear of being in danger of being corrupted, unless one day she was not firm in her faith and began to learn to be corrupt and corrupt to pleasure as the people of the world did. But that's almost impossible for a believer like Lyanna. She was able to risk her life to treat people in border areas, and this belief is not something that can be shaken in a day or two.

The window was drizzling, and in the room, the quill pen in Rhodes' hand was quickly writing back and forth the ideas that flashed in his mind.

Lyanna, Dean of the School of Medicine;

Yeskovich, chief priest of the Temple of Ersun;

Virgil, Director of the Security Service;

Roberts, Department of Foreign Trade......

Roberts...... Rod's pen stopped, and the man ...... Whether or not to use it seems to need to be considered.

Just as he was thinking, there was a familiar knock at the door, and Rod asked the servant to open the door, and he was greeted by the little dwarf Alves, and behind him, there were three well-dressed and polite guests.

"Lord Rhodes, please let me introduce our new guests - Quarella, Skagard, Clive. ”

Alves said, deliberately making a respectful appearance in front of Rod. Although on weekdays, this little guy actually has no distinction between kings and ministers in front of him, and is almost an old friend.
