At the same time, the snowy province of the Protos Empire, thousands of miles away from the capital of the King of the Ethertelan Kingdom, Gedaria, was also a bright afternoon.

After the baptism of the years, the city wall is still standing, precipitating the profound historical heritage of the city of Censton, and a group of people are slowly marching along the road on the city wall.

In the center of the front of the procession, a man in a suit carried his hands behind his back, and the sun shone on his body, gilding his figure with a golden glow.

He was so preoccupied that he often looked into the distance, walking steadily and vigorously, as if he was feeling the pulse of the earth.

A number of city-state lords followed him, and although some of them were originally local authorities, they all became very respectful in front of the governor at this moment.

"High-quality development is the top priority for the comprehensive construction of our Snow Plains Province."

Ranch is conducting intensive local research and is making a series of important deployments.

The subordinates around him nodded respectfully, their eyes fixed on Ranchi's shoulder or back, ready to take his questions or instructions.

Sometimes, they bow their heads slightly to reflect on themselves, or they avoid contact with the leader's line of sight.

Two hours earlier, at noon, the Governor had held a brief meeting with the lords at the town hall of Chamston, where Ranch had listened to a detailed report on his work and made a series of valuable suggestions.

He first affirmed the work of the Snowfields Province in the past year, saying that it was the result of the hard work of all the people, and then he elaborated on the strategic position of the Snowfields Province in the Protos Empire and its responsibilities.

He pointed out that the geographical location of the province determines that it has great potential for ecological protection and tourism development, so the development plan must adhere to the principles of public security, stability and ecological priority, and ensure that the local ecological environment is not damaged and sustainable development is maintained while resolutely eradicating the ghost party.

At the same time, he also asked the departments at all levels of the province to strengthen cooperation with the city-states, learn from advanced experience, and strive to improve the efficiency and management level of the local operation.

Finally, he expressed his belief that with the joint efforts of all the people of Snowfield Province, Snowfield Province will be able to become a region with both ecological beauty and economic vitality, and make due contributions to the development of the Protos Empire.

Although, the attitude of the Governor was always serious.

But every thoughtful and unscrupulous opinion made the local lords deeply aware of their problems and made positive reassurances.

Today, after the meeting, several lords still accompany Ranchi on the walls of the city of Chingston.

Finally, we discussed the details of the work with him.

“…… I'm not going to stay in Snowfield Province for too long, I'll leave after arranging my work plan, and the next time we meet will be in the imperial capital of Herrom. ”

At most, Ranch plans to stay in the Snowfields Province for another day or two, and then continue on to the longer northern border provinces.

With the Magic Rail train not yet restored and inclement weather not taken into account, it may take days to get from the Snowfields Province to the Northern Frontier Province.

Ranch needs to make sure he can return to the imperial capital of Herrom by mid-April.

Then, in late April, it will be the long-awaited bishops' election.

The lords and nobles around him all have the right to attend the House of Lords, as well as a lot of weighted votes.

She got a lot of votes for Sigrid again, and she is quite happy now, saying that the favorability that Sid was deducted before has been added back to Lanch, and she wants him to make further efforts to make Sig a happy girl.

Of course, if Ranch is elected to the House of Commons, he will also have one vote, and the weight of the votes in the House of Commons is relatively higher.

The House of Commons of the Protos Empire had the upper hand in the division of powers, having the right to pre-empt many bills, and the House of Lords, which was composed of nobles, had only the right to extend the passage for a period of one month, and was itself only responsible to the House of Commons.

The lords followed closely behind Lanch, and when they heard that he was about to leave, they looked at each other worriedly.

Eventually, there was some hesitation to ask what they were most worried about.

"Lord McCarthy, may I ask what we are going to do with the Spectre after you're gone?"

If Governor Rocky McCarthy himself was there, commanding them to exterminate the Spectres at any time, they would certainly be very relieved.

But if the Governor leaves, even if the Governor has divided the program for them before leaving, they don't know if they will be able to coordinate and execute it well, or if they will be able to deal with the Phantom Party in a timely and effective manner.

When it comes to the actual implementation, everyone may try their best to have game problems because of interests, and finally choose the implementation plan that maximizes their own interests, thus abandoning the optimal solution of the group's interests.

"The urgent problem of dealing with criminals in the snowy region can be delayed for so long, and I personally think that the root cause is that you have not negotiated the pay and benefits for a long time."

Ranch paused, exhaled a puff of mist, and said.

In the conference room before, he did not make the strategic plan public, and he was indeed ready to explain it to several leaders at this moment.

“……”

The rest of the lords stopped a little embarrassed.

This is so pointed out that the root cause of the problem makes them speechless.

"Of course I don't mean to blame you...... I just don't think there should be a negative gain in the exercise of justice. ”

Lan Qi straightened his back, his eyes glancing at the snowfield in front of him, his deep voice echoing in the cold air,

"Changing your thinking, don't you think it's too expensive now? Then we have to increase the revenue and drive everyone to do good deeds. ”

"But...... How can the capture of the Ghost Party increase the profits? ”

A city-state lord stepped forward in confusion and asked.

This is undoubtedly the most headache for them.

The suppression of bandits requires a lot of actual financial and manpower, and the merits obtained are not worth mentioning, and they have not been able to negotiate with several lords before, and the biggest problem is in the contribution of funds.

And at this moment, the governor actually told them that there was a way to increase the income from the bandits?

If it is real, it may directly solve their dilemma.

"Publish an official letter."

Ranch looked back faintly and instructed.

"Official letter?"

Ranch bowed his head and continued:

"From now on, all city-state prison inmates in Snowwon, under proper supervision, will work in the world beyond the walls and engage in various public services, where they will learn the value of honest labor, while also serving the community and contributing to the taxpayers."

“？！”

When the other lords heard this, they were all stunned.

Although there are demon slaves in the Protos Empire, even if criminals are converted into slaves, there are complicated procedures for registration, verification, and certification, and the cost of contracts and restrictions on magic is quite large.

However, it is true that the statute does not prohibit the use of prison inmates for "rental labor".

And the definition of "work" is rather vague.

In this vast snowfield province, as long as there are enough hardy labor and manpower, money will roll in like a flood!

Where is this to catch criminals, it is simply abduction and trafficking criminals!
