Sitting on the huge and luxurious throne of the lord of the country, Lu Yi looked at the materials on the table, he didn't know if he didn't see it, but at a glance, it was shocking!

According to Lu Yi's previous understanding, the Duchy of Leiden didn't seem to be very good, there were only more than eight hundred eighth-order masters, and there seemed to be only two or three ninth-order masters, but now, Lu Yi suddenly found that he was still too ignorant before. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, the hidden power of the Duchy of Leiden accounts for the vast majority, among which there are not 800 eighth-order masters, but a full 3,000 people! There are not only a few ninth-order masters, but thirteen! This is the power of one country! Not the power of one city!

As the fourth largest military power in the Kingdom of Kambi, the Principality of Leiden definitely has the qualifications to be proud, thirteen ninth-order masters, three thousand eighth-order masters, commanding tens of thousands of seventh-order masters, and one hundred thousand sixth-order masters, this is the military strength of the Principality of Leiden! And this is only a part.

However, what makes Lu Yi scratch his head is that although the military is very strong, most of them are in the hands of various branches, and for the time being, the army directly under Lu Yi's jurisdiction looks really miserable.

There is not a single ninth-order master, but there are eighth-order masters, a full eight hundred, but this is also a combined legion sent by various branches, which only accounts for one-third of the total number of all eighth-order masters of the Shi Ang family.

For now, in the hands of Lu Yi, or what can be taken over, there are only eight hundred eighth-order masters, three thousand seventh-order masters, and thirty thousand sixth-order masters, which only accounts for one-third of the total strength of the Shi Ang family!

This is actually very strong, this part of the military power, in fact, is the Grand Duke Terry's lineage accumulated over the past hundred years, most of which are supplemented by the masters of each branch, but each branch obviously does not have a master, only one-third of the masters of each branch are sent over, and the other two-thirds are still in the hands of each branch.

"Bang...... Smack...... Tapping ......" gently tapping on the table, Lu Yi thought attentively, if these potentials can be tapped, then the military strength of the Principality of Leiden will be increased by three times in an instant, and it will be promoted from the fourth military power to the throne of the first military power!

However, in this world, everyone believes in strength, and wants all branches to contribute their armed forces, I'm afraid it's not so easy, even if they use money to attract, the effect will not be too good, everyone is not a fool, once they hand over their arms, won't the branches lose the power to fight back? At that time, what Lu Yi wants to do, they don't have the ability to oppose.

Groaning, time passed slowly, I don't know how long it took, Lu Yi's fingers tapping on the table stopped suddenly, if it was definitely not possible, but as long as you are willing to think, there will always be a way, and now Lu Yi has thought of this method.

In the past three months, Lu Yi has tied the economic interests of all branches to Lu Yi's chariot, so far, if you don't want to lose these acquired interests, then you must support Lu Yi, surround and unite around Lu Yi, and jointly govern the Duchy of Leiden.

What Lu Yi is doing now is actually to corporatize the country, distribute the company's shares equally, every employee has shares, everyone earns not wages, but dividends, the better the company's benefits, the more everyone earns!

However, although he has already mastered the financial power, and no one dares to take the military power, Lu Yi is not satisfied, if all the forces of the Shi Ang family can be united, then there will be thirteen ninth-order masters, three thousand eighth-order masters, and tens of thousands of seventh-order masters, one hundred thousand sixth-order masters, no matter what, Lu Yi will not let go.

Although in terms of quantity, in fact, Lu Yi also has an army of 100,000 on Bread Island, but there are too many poor in quality, all the soldiers on Bread Island are fourth-order, and the lowest in Leiden City is sixth-order, and it is really a head-on conflict, and it is definitely one-sided and suppressed.

This is the decision that Lu Yi made after thinking about it for a long time, if he continued to follow the previous method and forcibly assign everyone to join the army, it would definitely not be possible, if it could be done, Grand Duke Terry would have done it a long time ago, and it was precisely because of this failure that the army would be the size it is today.

You can't tempt everyone with money, but if money doesn't work, it doesn't mean that other things can't be done, such as rights! The Duchy of Leiden is so huge, it is impossible for Lu Yi to govern it alone, so there must still be some helpers, originally Lu Yi was going to be recommended by the family, but now it seems that this is not possible.

In order to hold the military power in his hands, the selection of personnel must be arranged separately, and in the following time, Lu Yi sorted out behind closed doors and constantly improved this system.

Finally, when a week later, Lu Yi, as the patriarch of the Shi Ang family, convened the Shi Ang family meeting, all the plans have been completed, at the meeting, Lu Yi did not request, nor requested, let alone pleaded, but in the form of an order, everyone was appointed!

Thirteen ninth-order masters were appointed as the directors of the security bureaus of the twelve cities with a population of more than one million in the Principality of Leiden! Among them, the largest city of Leiden was divided into two parts due to its large population, and one city had two directors at the same time, each responsible for the security of their respective areas.

Thirteen bureau chiefs, thirteen ninth-order masters, in their respective areas, are all heaven and earth existences, responsible for the security of a city, although Leiden City has two bureau chiefs, but Leiden City is too big, even if each person is only in charge of half, it is not known how many times larger than other cities, so the power will not only not be small, but will be great!

In addition to the thirteen ninth-order masters, Lu Yi then continued to dispatch the three thousand eighth-order masters in the form of orders, and they were responsible for the security work of each city under the leadership of the thirteen bureau chiefs, each city was assigned a hundred eighth-order masters, and the surplus eighth-order masters were all assigned to Leiden City!

In addition to the total population of nearly 30 million people sent to Leiden, one-third of them live in Leiden City, and the other one-third live in more than 10 large cities with a population of more than 100 people, and the remaining residents are scattered in villages, towns, and small and medium-sized cities, forming the whole of the Duchy of Leiden.

For the time being, Lu Yi couldn't stretch his hand too far, so he could only start from the core area, under Lu Yi's arrangement, two thousand eighth-order masters of the Principality of Leiden were arranged in Leiden City!

The so-called security bureau is actually the police, responsible for the security of the city, the ninth-order masters are the highest officials of a city or region, and the eighth-order masters are all the captains of a region, so it can be said that everyone is an official!

In the face of Lu Yi's arrangement, no one objected, this is for everyone to do for the official, who will object? The key is that Lu Yi's big hat is pressed well, as a member of the Shi Ang family, the Principality of Leiden is everyone's home, and everyone has the obligation to maintain the stability and unity of the Principality of Leiden!

Now the money that should be shared, Lu Yi has been divided, so generous that he is a little stupid, now it is everyone's turn to fulfill their obligations, whoever wants to refuse can also do it, you can completely ignore Lu Yi's arrangement, but if you do not fulfill your obligations, then you will not be able to enjoy the rights, and the equity allocated to you will be fully recovered, and you will go out and fend for yourself.

The most important thing is that as ninth-order masters and eighth-order masters, they themselves are not excluded, and they can be responsible for the security of a city, that is, the high-level leaders, there are only thirteen such leaders in the entire Duchy of Leiden, and the officials are responsible for the security of a city, who would not want this? Even if they are unwilling, but their branches cannot be unwilling, otherwise all the shares will be confiscated.

The most important thing is that Lu Yi is just an official, but there is no sign of control, he does not gather everyone, and he does not need everyone to be loyal to him, he just asks you to protect the city, since you take the income of the city, then you have the obligation to protect these cities, just take the money and don't work, it will definitely not work, this reason makes sense everywhere.

As for the tens of thousands of seventh-order masters, they can't be idle, now that various departments have been established, but what about the transportation team......? In the past, these businesses were all in everyone's hands, and the chambers of commerce and teams transported them by themselves, but now all departments are state-owned, but no one is responsible for procurement and transportation! For the time being, there is still a backlog of goods for sale in various cities, but what should we do if they are sold out? What do we sell when we don't have goods? What do we rely on to make money? What do we share with everyone if we don't make money?

Therefore, all seventh-order masters must join the Leiden Chamber of Commerce established by the Principality of Leiden, responsible for the transportation of goods, and after the Chamber of Commerce procures the goods, these teams are responsible for transporting the goods back to the Principality of Leiden, transporting them to various cities, and distributing them to various stores for sale!

Tens of thousands of seventh-order masters were divided into ten teams, each team of a thousand people, each responsible for transporting different goods, for this proposal, it was immediately opposed by everyone, the seventh-order master to be a transport brigade, this is unacceptable to everyone, and once the clan becomes a team, it may be controlled by Lu Yi.

Fortunately, Lu Yi had been prepared for this for a long time, and instead divided more than 10,000 seventh-order masters into twelve teams, each with a thousand people, and stationed them in the twelve major cities of the Principality of Leiden, responsible for protecting the city, as well as assisting the Security Bureau and doing a good job of law and order.

In the face of Lu Yi's arrangement, although everyone still wanted to oppose it, but after Lu Yi's detailed explanation, everyone kept their mouths shut, if there is no strong strength to protect, then the safety of each city cannot be guaranteed!

The shops of various departments are all built in twelve cities, and if they are attacked, all of them will suffer from the pain of the skin, and these seventh-order masters are the guards, and they are protecting the property of everyone here, in this case, what reason do you have to oppose it? Could it be that it is left to be left and not guarded? Can you rest assured?

After the ninth-order, eighth-order, and seventh-order masters are arranged, the next step is the sixth-order master, and for the Duchy of Leiden, people below the sixth-order are not qualified to join the army.

The 100,000 sixth-order masters were divided into one hundred brigades by Lu Yi, each against a thousand people, who were responsible for transporting all kinds of goods back to the Duchy of Leiden and scattering them to various stores for sale.

In the face of Lu Yi's proposal, everyone jumped high, this is definitely not possible, seven, eight, the first-order masters are all gone, once the sixth-order masters are also exhausted, then everyone will have no armed forces!

In the face of the strong rebound of the collective, Lu Yi didn't argue anything, and told everyone very calmly, since you don't agree, then I won't be reluctant, but the goods always need to be transported, right? If no one transports it, what do you sell? If there is nothing to sell, where will the profit come from? If there is no profit, what will everyone share?

Because of this last agreement, the meeting lasted for a week, and everyone was arguing, and they were unwilling to give up the last armament in their hands, but now the problem is here, after all, someone must be responsible for transportation, otherwise everyone will have no money to take at all, and if they want to take the money, the only way is to let these 100,000 sixth-order masters take charge of the transportation task.

A week later, the meeting finally ended, and on the last day, the majority agreed to Lu Yi's proposal, although a third of the people still opposed it, but the minority obeyed the majority, and it was useless to oppose it, no matter how unwilling it was, it would be done!

In this way, Lu Yi successfully completed the centralization of power, and controlled the Duchy of Leiden and all the armed forces of the Shi Ang family in the palm of his hand, although the mastery is still very low, but as long as he is given some more time, Lu Yi will definitely cultivate these troops into an iron-blooded army loyal to Lu Yi!

Thirteen ninth-order masters, three thousand eighth-order masters, ten thousand seventh-order masters, and one hundred thousand sixth-order masters, this is all the current armed forces of the Duchy of Leiden, although the outside world still does not know, only thinking that it is a transport brigade, but in fact, the Duchy of Leiden has leapt to become the most powerful principality under the banner of the Kingdom of Kambi!
