Sure enough, after hearing the lord's request, Atwood's eyebrows were furrowed, and his face was full of embarrassment, "My lord, I am willing to share your worries, but I am really incompetent for this job, I am afraid that I will live up to my lord's expectations." ”

"There's no need to shirk, I'm not asking you to write it right away, it's a long-term task, if you have the right candidate, you can also recruit yourself and complete it together, I don't make any restrictions."

Not only that, but Xia Duo is also preparing to recruit people from Savile and even Severton, and now it is just a framework to be set and then slowly filled.

He said so, and Atwood didn't say anything more, and sat back down with a pensive expression.

……

"There are three things next, one is the issue of public security in the territory, now the population of the territory is nearly 10,000, disputes and even disputes are inevitable, and it is easy to cause bigger accidents if they are not handled well.

"Jib, now I appoint you as the sheriff of the territory, responsible for maintaining law and order in the territory and dealing with emergencies!

"Your next task is to recruit new soldiers, expand the number of your men to 200, and then build a security station near the second residential district in the east as a permanent office space, and the patrol tasks inside the territory will be handed over to you in the future!"

Gibb is considered the old man of the Great Xia Collar, so when there is a suitable new appointment, Xia Duo will always think of him first.

The work of the sheriff seems to be tedious, but it is not as dangerous as a front-line soldier, and Xia Duo still has a lot of love for the old man who has been following him.

Gibb himself fully accepted this, and he stood up with a little excitement and said loudly: "Yes, my lord! ”

Not long ago, he had just brought his wife and children from Savile Town to the Great Xia Territory, and he was currently arranging to work in the logistics department, but this was a pioneer territory after all, and the danger was still greater than that of a mature territory.

Now that he can become a territorial sheriff, he no longer has to worry about not being able to return from the field, or the territory being attacked, or his family being injured.

He was able to protect his family nearby, so what was there to be dissatisfied with!

Not to mention, in terms of position, the sheriff is much better than the previous captain of the territorial guard, and there are more people under him.

……

"Ava!"

"Your Excellency, please give the order!"

"I think it's most appropriate to leave this matter to you, set up three long-term outposts in the east, south, and west directions of the territory, which are used to record information about the surrounding environment and warn of things that may threaten the territory, I will give you a batch of teleportation scrolls, choose a veteran, I don't want any accidents to happen." If you need any supplies, you can go to the logistics department to get them, and if they don't have them, they will come to me directly. ”

"Yes!"

After arranging this matter, Xia Duo's heart relaxed a little, in fact, the establishment of a long-term outpost in the Green Bead Forest also had the purpose of swearing sovereignty.

Although in the country of Nesser, the Green Bead Forest has been owned by the Saville Territory by default, but this is only a default and an unspoken rule, and if someone does not admit it, there is no way.

Just like the previous Lord of Rodney, who had to come to the Green Pearl Forest to open up a new land, the Saville Lord could oppose or resist, but the problem was that the skills were insufficient, and it was difficult to expel the other party.

However, the big backer of the Savile Lord, Her Royal Highness the princess did not oppose such an act, at least not on the surface, because this kind of behavior actually supported the pioneering movement she led.

After all, the Green Bead Forest does not have a strict owner in legal theory, and if you oppose it, it will not be a slap in the face.

This is actually a certain extent that "a gentleman can deceive him", as long as a person adheres to principles, he can naturally use this principle to restrict him.

But this is also where the belief and the concept lie, an unprincipled person is terrible, in this case, Xia Duo would rather not get the help of the princess, and do not want the princess to be an unprincipled person.

Since I can't get the support from above in this matter, I have to work my own.

Build some outposts in advance, at least occupy the righteousness first, even if it is temporarily occupied by others, as long as Xia Duo is strong in the future, he can also engage in a "since ancient times".

There is still a big difference between whether a thing is just or not, and of course Xia Duo will not fail to consider it.

……

"The last thing is related to the Ministry of Territorial Resettlement, the population problem is the most important part of the development of the territory, and the rapid development of the Great Xia Territory in the past year is inseparable from these nearly 10,000 new people.

"But these lords were all recruited by the Council of Severington, and now that the one-year reward period of the Silver Ring Badge is about to pass, it is difficult to recruit so many new lords by relying on the Great Xia Leader alone.

"Therefore, I have decided to restart the population introduction program, which was interrupted by the Silver Ring Badge Award a year ago, and leave the matter to the Department of Consular Resettlement.

"Jaco, you should contact the chambers of commerce of Hans, Sleving, Shining Gold, and Liaton as soon as possible to discuss the specific introduction plan.

"I just want to mention one point, no coercion, no use of personal tricks, just clarify the facts, I need new people, not enemies, this must always be in mind!"

In fact, this matter is not very difficult, and the previous chambers of commerce have returned from the northern belt to a Langas tribe named "Bunting", and they already have some experience.

Some of the issues that need to be paid attention to when recruiting, Xia Duo has also mentioned before, and now I will reiterate it to show how much he attaches importance to it.

If it is to buy slaves, then it is good to say that it is always the liberator on his side, but if the people sent out by his side rely on deception, or use fraud to coerce, and get people here, then the hatred will be concentrated in the Great Xia Territory.

Perhaps the favorable environment of the Great Xia Collar can dispel hatred, but Xia Duo is not willing to take risks.

You must know that he is ready to popularize knowledge and magic in the territory, and it would be too wrongful to cultivate a great arcane master who has no heart.

Some hidden dangers, if they can be avoided in the early stage, then try to avoid them, which is also the consistent principle of Xia Duo.

Even if you are strong, if you don't pay attention to these details, as time accumulates, more and more, from the perspective of an immortal, you will definitely have to make a big deal about these little things in the future!

To paraphrase a sentence in cultivating immortals, it is probably "less cause and effect, so as not to backlash"!

……

After the meeting, Xia Duo went to the corner and flipped through the minutes, and encouraged the clerk a few more words before leaving the conference room.

And after he left, this meeting was not over, it could only be regarded as a subordinate debriefing meeting and a leadership instruction meeting, but now it is a real regular meeting between the heads of various departments in the territory.

Xia Duo also knew that they would have discussions about the few things they had newly proposed, and staying there would only add to the pressure on them, preventing them from speaking freely and making the discussion formal.

So he left decisively, and anyway, he could look at the minutes of the meeting and see what they discussed.
