Chapter 412 Institutional Reform

Haaland led the formation of six provinces, and Richard, the consul of the central province, appointed Rogge. At the same time, Rogge also served as the prime minister of Haaland's cabinet, and the first reason why Richard gave Rogge dictatorship was that there were no senior officials available. The second reason is that Rogge's career level is very low, and his own strength is not strong.

In the transcendent world, one's own strength is insufficient, and it is difficult to pose a threat to the lord.

Moreover, Rogge is Sophia's elder brother, and strengthening Rogge's power is a kind of protection for Margaret and Philip. Rogge is the prime minister of the cabinet and the consul of the central provinces, and he can convey Richard's reliance on the Stowe family to the outside world, and avoid internal challenges to the status of Margaret and Philip. After all, the extraordinary power that Wendini has in her hand is far beyond Sophia.

In the second most important province of Heihe, the consul Richard appointed his second uncle, Powell. In Haaland's consular civil service system, Powell is the second person after Rogge, and he is Richard's own uncle, who has a pivotal position and can influence Richard's decision-making to a considerable extent.

Powell also had a low professional rank, he had been a civil servant for many years, and when William was just knighted, Powell managed the fiefdom with Richard, and he was mainly responsible for the construction of the city. The earliest buildings of Fort William, the fortifications of the city, were built by Powell himself.

Richard, the consul of Vera Province, appointed his brother Hayden, who was originally the chief inspector of Haaland and was responsible for discipline inspection, but he had a more generous personality, although he had done intelligence and discipline inspection work, and his methods were relatively loose. When his hands are loose here, the officials below are a little lawless.

Richard has always been dissatisfied with Hayden's management of the inspection department, but first, there is no better candidate, and second, Hayden is the elder brother of his mother's compatriots, and he is embarrassed to reprimand him harshly. This time, he simply changed Hayden's position and made him the provincial consul. If Hayden still couldn't satisfy him, Richard had no choice but to give him an honorary title and arrange for him to take a back seat.

Richard's opinion has been passed on to Hayden through his sister Wendy. If he continues to indulge the officials below, don't blame Richard for being unsympathetic.

Richard, the consul of the Eagle Province, appointed Burrion, who was also the elder of Harland's realm and had served the realm for twenty years. This man was the first soldier of the Harland Command, who withdrew from the front line due to combat injuries, and Bethleon was studious, and after retiring from the regular army, he joined the city defense army and was responsible for commanding the trebuchet troops. A few years later, he moved into the agricultural system, and with the rapid development of Haaland's territory, he gradually became a more important official in the agricultural system.

After Richard's cousin Don was removed for dereliction of duty, Burrion succeeded Don as the senior official in charge of agriculture in the Haaland Domain. Over the years, Burrion has worked hard and managed the agricultural sector without any trouble. This time Richard transferred him out of the agricultural system to serve as the consul of the Eagle Province.

Compared with the position of Minister of Agriculture, the Provincial Consul has more power.

Rooney, appointed Rooney by Richard, the consul of Grotta, who was also a senior official in the Duchy of Haaland. Rooney was a freeman from Fort Black River and attended a mission school as a young child. It may be because of this factor that the young Rooney was valued and solicited by Mrs. Ola.

By the time William became a hereditary nobleman, Rooney had been in the service of the Haaland family for about three or four years.

When Richard ran the territory, because he saw that Rooney had management experience, he appointed him as the director of the brick kiln factory, and because of his good work in the brick kiln factory, Rooney left the factory and mine system and became the first civil magistrate of Sophia Fort.

After the restructuring of the Harland consular civil service system, Rooney successively served as the county magistrate of the eastern part of the canyon and the county warden of the southern foot of the Eagle Mountains. Rooney has also grown from an ordinary clerk to a heavyweight civil servant in Haaland.

On the contrary, Rooney's partner in the brick kiln factory back then, Bobby, although he had a higher IQ and obtained a little stake in the brick kiln factory, he has made a lot of money with the development of Haaland over the years, but his social status has been very different from Rooney.

Soros is temporarily the consul of the East China Sea Province, which has not yet been developed, and the departments at all levels of the province have also not been formed.

In the system of Haaland's domain, the position of the provincial consul is very important, and he is a natural member of the cabinet. It's just that the provincial consuls sit in the local government and cannot regularly attend cabinet meetings, so they are not standing members of the cabinet.

The Standing Committee of the Cabinet is basically a minister of the central government, such as Minister of Intelligence, Noll, Minister of Health and Health, Adrian, Minister of Education, Flora, Minister of Textiles, Scott, Minister of Industry, Leiden, Minister of Coal, Chavison, and Minister of Transportation, Gavin. In this reform of government institutions, Richard also established the Ministry of Public Security, and transferred the security army to this department.

The Minister of Public Security, Richard, did not choose a civilian official, and in a transcendent world like the Dawn Plane, a civilian official is always a vassal of the transcendent who wields the violent machine. Engaging in civil and official politics, using civil and imperial military forces will not work at all from the bottom logic, and it is impossible for the transcendent to accept this, and coercion can only make the transcendent rebel.

Because supernatural power is in the hands of individuals, the logic of this world is very simple, and all power is directly in the hands of gods, demigods, and legendary professionals.

Among the social rules in which power determines everything, the most suitable system is the feudal system, which entrusts power to the strata that hold different powers.

Especially after the gods have fallen asleep, the age of kingship has been running for more than 3,200 years, and it is still very stable, which is enough to prove this. It is far more difficult to engage in a capital system in this world than in the world of Richard's previous life.

Richard, the minister of the Ministry of Security, was selected from among the hereditary vassals and appointed Martin, who had retired for a few years.

The army, city defense, intelligence and other violent organs are directly managed by Richard, and the cabinet has no power to intervene, and the chief justice of Haaland's territory is still held by Sophia's brother Alto.

In addition, in this political restructuring, Richard also established a noble council department.

President of the Council of Nobles Haaland, appointed Sutton to the position.

Sutton was the highest-ranking vassal in the Duke of Haaland, and although he had not been in the Harland County for a long time, he played a key role in several battles and was very prestigious among the hereditary nobility. His mother, Sylph, is a legend and a threat to the outside world.

With this institutional reshuffle, the Duke of Haaland has established a small and well-rounded government department.

In March, the students have gone to school and the territory has begun spring ploughing.

Last December, Richard's wife, Wendinee, was pregnant, and the half-elves had a slightly longer pregnancy cycle than humans. Based on previous records, Richard's third child could be born in April next year.

Wentini has half elven blood and has a lifespan of about two hundred years, and she drank a share of water of life, and her lifespan increased by twenty years. Wentini is not yet fifty years old, and although the half-elf is advancing slower than humans, she still has enough time to advance to the legendary realm.

Legendary magicians, all of which have a variety of spells to extend their lifespan, the first is life-sharing spells. Secondly, there are various life-prolonging potions, alchemy methods, and in the end, they can also be transformed into lichs, and they can also be immortalized when they become undead creatures.

But every life has a beginning and an end, even if it is a rule wizard, a king of the dead, or a multi-plane god, there is a day when they die and disappear.

In this world, it is impossible to break out of the rules of the universe and obtain eternal life, which is immortal. The universe has cycles, and intelligent life will eventually come to an end.

Spring ploughing began in March, and Richard took his eldest son, Philip, to inspect it for a while. Since the beginning of this year, Richard has been preparing to let Philip follow him into contact with political affairs, by the way, get to know the officials of the territory, and see the world by observing how his father handles government affairs.

After a period of time, Philip became familiar with the rules of government affairs, and under Richard's guidance, he also got to know many officials of different ranks. There are not only big officials, but also many minor officials who serve the court. In addition, Richard also focused on letting him meet many officers, hereditary nobles, including Haaland and his rising stars, Levine, Sox and other promising aristocratic officers.

After a period of training, Richard decided to take Philip on a tour of the people.

Philip was not born in the deep palace and grew up in the hands of women, although he lived in the aristocratic court since he was a child, and he also had some life experience. Because he was educated in school from an early age, Philip came into contact with a large number of classmates from ordinary backgrounds. With this experience, he certainly has a certain understanding of society and the market.

But by the time Philip's next generation arrived, it was difficult to go through regular school.

When Philip first received his education, Richard was only an earl, Haaland did not have many enemies because of his special position, and Sophia and Philip's security measures were relatively simple.

But now, although the Haaland Territory is powerful, it also has a grudge against many forces, such as the Linus family, who used to control the Grand Duchy of Starnik.

Another example is the Venus family, the former master of the Grant Kingdom, which has been silent for more than ten years, and as the legendary mage Yelena recovered from her injuries, she began to appear in the Grant Kingdom again. Some time ago, someone in the Venus family assassinated the court earl of the Grant royal family and issued death threats to Roger's kingdom.

For example, the great nobles of the United Kingdom on the East Coast, the great nobles of the Delong Kingdom, and the Pilosa family of the Stark Kingdom, the orc forces hate him even more.

These enemies have no way to take Richard and Sophia, and may attack their children in order to break their will. So in recent years, Philip's security measures have become more and more stringent, seriously disrupting the primary school where he is studying.

Even Richard's sister, Flora, approached Richard many times and asked Philip to drop out of school and receive private education at the court. After all, if Philip is attacked at school, no one can afford the consequences.

And in the transcendent world of the Dawn Plane, if a professional wants to hide and cause destruction, it will be very troublesome to deal with.

It is impossible for the management of Haaland to keep every professional out.

When it comes to Richard's grandchildren, they can't avoid the situation of being born in the deep palace and growing up in the hands of women. In order to let the children understand the society and be familiar with the rules of grassroots operation, Richard must also lead by example, often take the children to inspect and contact the people.

Today Richard is going to take Philip to see it at Fort William.

After two decades of development, the population around Fort William has swelled to nearly 300,000.

When Fort William was founded, it was chosen in a dangerous place, and there were relatively few flat areas nearby, which was not suitable for the reproduction of a large population.

In recent years, Fort William has been somewhat overwhelmed, and houses, streets, villas, and hotels have already been built into nearby farmland.

Even most of the factories that were built in the past have been relocated in the last year or two.

Richard and Philip went to the suburbs of Fort William with a few of his entourage, and happened to see a flour mill moving. Richard waved his hand, let several of his entourage disperse, controlled the security guards at the factory gate, and then took Philip into the factory area to take a look.

No sooner had the father and son entered the factory than they heard Odaye, the owner of the factory, complaining to a few of his companions.

"The cost of running a factory in Fort William is too high, and not only is it expensive to use labor in this city, but it is also very difficult to get industrial land indicators. Under the fierce market competition, it is becoming more and more difficult to develop. The most important point is that the workers hired by Fort William are very difficult to deal with, and many of them have messy relationships and do not obey the factory management system, because there are all kinds of relationships, which is particularly troublesome to deal with.

Last year I handed over a profit of six thousand gold coins, but I didn't get any respect here. I decided to move the mill out of the mill to Greyforson, a major wheat producing region.

There is only one flour mill in Graveson, and the local government is very willing for us to invest, promising to give us tax breaks, and if we go there, we can cut the labor cost in half.

I think the honorable duke should liberalize the slave use policy, promote the further development of free trade, and make the slave trade legal and enter all walks of life. ”

"Alright, keep your voice down and don't let outsiders hear." One of them turned his head and saw the stranger, and immediately waved his hand to stop Odaye.

The reason why Odaye is so open-mouthed is mainly because of his deep political and business relations, and he is not only a lifelong friend of Sula, but also a partner with bound interests. They were the first soldiers of Haaland's territory, and their network of connections within the territory was intertwined.

This group of people is also a supporter of Haaland's subway pole, and if it weren't for a felony, Richard would have given a smile.

After twenty years of hard fighting, Odaye has grown into the first generation of Haaland factory owners, capitalists, and now his assets are close to 100,000 gold coins, which is richer than many hereditary nobles.

Although Odaye is already very rich, in the Duke of Haaland, his social status is far inferior to that of old comrades-in-arms such as Jennings and Sura, he is just a vine that needs to be tied to big trees such as Sula and Jennings to develop.

Odaye was not very satisfied with this, and sometimes his emotions were filled with resentment. But the rules of power in the Dawn Plane do not change by his will.

This world is a world where extraordinary power has everything, and only when you have extraordinary power can you have money, beauty, and the power to dominate others. If it weren't for the protection of old comrades-in-arms such as Sula and Jennings, although Odaye was very rich, he probably wouldn't be able to stop the snooping eyes of others. Despite Richard's social reforms, the foundations of the functioning of otherworldly societies can never change.

Although very depressed, Odaye is also well aware of this.

Since his career, he has found many lovers, given birth to more than a dozen children, and clearly wants to invest in the next generation. When the next generation of children become professionals and gain a foothold in the violent apparatus, the Odaye family will be able to stabilize and form a small interest group rooted in the Haaland leadership.

When Odaye heard someone approaching, he immediately turned his head and saw Richard and Philip, and his face changed suddenly.
