Chapter 345: New Structure and System

The remaining Rubik's Cube, who is specifically used to summon Davy can think slowly, anyway, he is not in a hurry.

After Weatherby Swan arrived, David and his administrative officer began to have a serious discussion about how to form the internal political system of the Duchy of Winter.

Before leaving Winterfell for the Marvel Universe, David had already gotten angry with Weatherby Swan, telling Weatherby to think about it during this time, and even discuss it with others and come up with a plan.

So when David came back and summoned Weatherby Swan, the magistrate had already handed the plan he had prepared in advance to his lordship.

"Administration, finance, personnel, supervision, agriculture, transportation, education, the new government departments will include these subordinate agencies."

The specific terms of reference and responsibilities of each department are detailed in the schedule, and there will be no overlapping powers and competing for power, at least for now.

David looked at it, and with Weatherby Swan's introduction, he felt that the plan was complete enough, and several departments had covered all the things that Winterfell needed to deal with at the moment.

"I can understand that the military is not counted, and law and order are also separately demarcated?"

"After discussing it with others, I decided that the security department should be treated as a military force." On the Brennia Road, policing was the responsibility of the soldiers.

Whether or not Winterfell's security forces count as soldiers or not, Winterfell itself doesn't have a clear statement.

The vast majority of people believe that security forces that have received military training and have a certain degree of military literacy should be regarded as a reserve military group, and can be armed into real soldiers in times of emergency.

Also, as Winterfell continues to grow, Elizabeth thinks that the security department needs to be reshuffled and can't be the way it is now.

"Elizabeth suggested the establishment of a police station and a fire department, and the separation of public security management and rescue, fire fighting, and disaster relief."

"Yes, you can."

The schedule was very thick, and David flipped through it to find that it was not only Weatherby Swan's plan for the reorganization of the government department, but also Elizabeth's plan for the reorganization of the security department.

David looked at it, compared to the subdivision of the government affairs department into a large number of departments, the public security department is only divided into the police and disaster relief and fire departments, which is not complicated at all, and it is much simpler than the reorganization of the government affairs department.

"Let's reorganize according to this plan!"

After the reshuffle, the Winterfell Government Building in the southwest of Fort Glamorgan will be even busier, with empty floors and offices gradually filled.

In particular, the administrative department will be divided into two parts, the Duchy of Winter and the Duchy of Winter, which will deal with the affairs of the entire Northern Plains, including Winterfell, and will manage more and more areas in the future as its power expands.

Now that Weatherby is the Minister of State of the Duchy of Winter and the Administrator of Winterfell, he will definitely leave the governance of Winterfell to someone else in the future.

Later, David told Weatherby that the Duchy of Winter would not use the feudal system, which Weatherby thought had no effect.

There aren't many of Winterfell's internal affairs officials, many of them newly recruited low-level staff, who don't yet feel they have a chance to become lords.

What David really wants to appease is the military, although they are all crushed, but after all, the army has fought a few wars and made a lot of contributions, before David announces the implementation of the sub-sealing system, it is best to prepare a perfect reward and reward system in advance to ensure the welfare of the soldiers before announcing.

"I do have some ideas, and I'd like to hear from you."

David already had some ideas in his heart, which is why he brought up these things at this time.

Ask Weatherby because Weatherby Swan is the most experienced politician in Winterfell, and he should be able to give a reasonable judgment.

Weatherby nodded, quietly waiting for the Duke to speak, while David explained his arrangements for the army in the simplest and most straightforward language.

According to his idea, the knighthood will not be invalidated, it will still be retained, but it will not be divided into lands.

In the Duchy of Winter, the only way to obtain land is to clear land and buy it, and David will next issue a series of decrees that impose certain restrictions on land purchase and trading.

He knows that land annexation is not a good thing to restrict, but it is definitely not possible to do nothing, he can only take one step at a time.

Weatherby felt that the Duke seemed to be off topic, but he listened quietly with his mouth shut.

Fortunately, David only casually mentioned a few sentences and then turned the subject back to the original topic.

Although you will not receive land rewards for being a knight, you will be able to receive various benefits from the Duchy of Winter, including but not limited to money.

The status and benefits of a knight can be enjoyed for life, but they are not passed on to the heirs.

In other words, although they no longer have their own land, the knights still have a long-term security and are more closely bound to the Duchy of Winter.

The Duchy of Winter is strong and has always existed, so that your knighthood will always be beneficial to you.

And this kind of welfare income is more stable than the land, plus David has also prepared a series of promotion and salary increase regulations: for example, the additional income of just becoming a knight (which does not overlap with his own military income) is equivalent to the normal income of the ordinary knight territory of the current Tiran Kingdom.

Then as the knights continue to make meritorious deeds, they can get more rewards, such as medals, this income can continue to increase, plus there is no need to bear the risk of losing the territory and not receiving anything, Davy thinks that no one should oppose this plan.

"Doesn't sound like a problem."

After listening to the Duke's description, Weatherby felt that this plan was announced like this, and even if the Duchy of Winter completely abolished the feudal system, the military would not object.

The real problem with this plan is that as the army expands, the 'knights' class that the Duchy of Winter needs to support will continue to expand, which will put a lot of pressure on the finances.

But Winterfell doesn't seem to have to worry about financial problems anytime soon, right?

"So how are you going to settle those nobles from the royal capital of Tiran?"

"Leave them alone."

Theoretically, they were nobles of the Kingdom of Tiran, and it wasn't up to David, the Archduke of Winter, to think about what they should do.

But the current situation is that with the announcement of His Majesty Eberson, the whole Kingdom of Tilland knows that the Duke of David Glamorgan is currently the real ruler of the Kingdom of Tillamorgan, so the rights and interests of the nobles should also be protected by the Grand Duke of Glamorgan.

"In that case, I'm afraid these people will make some trouble in Winterfell."

"Now it's up to Elizabeth to perform."

Ignoring them is actually screening stupid people.

The guy who jumped out early would be a model for David to warn the other nobles.

In addition, when the Duchy of Winter did not expand its influence to the original lands of the Tiran Kingdom for the time being, it did not cause damage to these nobles in essence.

So there is a high probability that after being warned, he will honestly stay and not do anything again.

By the time the Duchy of Winter began to officially move south, the power in David's hands should be strong and stable enough, and there would be no movement from such a few nobles at that time.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that these nobles act as spies and undercover agents for other countries for their own interests, so for a considerable time in the future, the focus of the Winter Intelligence Department will not be on the outside, but on the inside.

David just piggybacks on these things and Weatherby, and the experienced Weatherby Swan knows how to work with Edwin Van Cleeff.

After talking about the matter and getting the approval from Weatherby Swan, David spoke to Gareth Stanton and Floyd individually.

These two really have no resistance to the abolition of the sub-feudal system, and the next step is to improve the knight's reward standards and salary increase regulations.

At the same time, when the two guards were also reorganized, the information about the abolition of the feudal system was appropriately disseminated in the army, and the winter intelligence department began to frequently shuttle around the city during this time, in order to get real feedback as soon as possible.

As the news gradually spread, sure enough, some people expressed their dissatisfaction.

However, the army was stable, with only a slight discontent within the Knights of Tiran.

"It's much better than I expected."

As time passed, when the height of summer arrived, Davy, as the Grand Duke of Winter, officially issued a series of announcements.

These include the abolition of the feudal system and the new benefits for knights.

With the announcement, the discontent in the army immediately disappeared, and the knights of the Knights of Tiran felt that without a fief was not a big deal under this treatment.

The Winter Knights are in a state of frenzied exuberance, and almost all of them want to get a true knighthood as soon as possible, rather than just being called a 'knight member'.

It was in this state of hard cultivation that the Winter Knights, in addition to a few commanders and instructors, finally began to appear as true paladins.

This is not surprising, under the teaching of paladins such as Tyran Ferdin, Renaud Mograini, etc., the Winter Knights have already received orthodox paladin training, and it is only a matter of time before a true paladin is born.

To David's real surprise, Megatron had also learned the Holy Light, following in the footsteps of his old rival Optimus Prime and solidifying his position as the number one military commander of the Cybertrons.

"Congratulations, Megatron!"

Megatron didn't say anything, but everyone could see that he was proud.

However, he was not complacent about this, although he finally learned the Holy Light and seemed to have caught up with his old rival Optimus Prime, but Optimus Prime had upgraded himself not long ago, and this guy actually transformed his carriage so that he could merge with the carriage and have a more powerful stance.

Now, Optimus Prime is the number one master of Cybertron, and he can only be relegated to second place!

"Leader, should I give myself an upgrade as well?"
