Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 130 Interior Office

With the increase in population, it is far from enough for Maya to manage the territory alone. No matter how much the population of the territory obeys orders, the inefficient operation method completely limits the potential of the territory, so Owen decided to form the Interior Office.

The interior hall is in the center of the expanded town, with Maya as the consul and Howard as the city defense officer, respectively in charge of the civil and military affairs of the territory.

The next step is the grassroots managers transferred from citizens. They are responsible for the documents, statistics, taxation, finance, publicity, organization and other aspects of the territory.

At the same time, Owen also appointed several citizens to serve as grassroots officers, responsible for the daily training and logistical support of the soldiers in the territory, which greatly reduced Howard's burden. After all, although he is familiar with all aspects of affairs, his energy is always limited.

In addition, Owen squeezed out a few places and changed jobs to become doctors, businessmen, and jewelry craftsmen. These are the talents needed by the territory.

However, because they are from a Western background, the doctors who have been transferred belong to the kind whose feet hurt and their heads are crushed. Just by looking at the anesthesia method by wearing an iron helmet and then smashing it with a hammer, you can know that these doctors have reached the level of lifting weights as lightly as possible. If there is a slight mistake, the person who cannot be operated on will die.

The only advantage is that the doctor has mastered a wealth of surgical techniques, dares to do anything, dares to cut anything, and can suture it to make the patient look like a living person, which is very rare.

What Owen took a fancy to was the doctor's suturing skills. Bai Xian's effect is remarkable, but it's only suitable for small wounds. If the wound is too large, it must be sutured before it can heal.

As for other shortcomings, potions can be used instead, such as anesthesia potions, so Owen directly confiscated the doctor's pitted iron pot helmet and blood-stained hammer. He didn't think the doctor needed these things.

The doctors were handed over to Dale for the convenience of learning how to use potions. At the same time, Emile was also asked to teach some delivery skills, because the territory is about to usher in the first wave of baby boomers. In case there is a need for caesarean section, these doctors will be needed. .

Next, the businessmen who change jobs can make the industries in the territory run, because there is no shortage of food, fur, wood, tools, and weapons in these territories, and they can be sold to the surrounding lords.

At the same time, they also need to take over the transactions with foreign businessmen, which farmers and civilians cannot do.

The last jewelry craftsman is because he obtained a lot of jewelry from the ruins. He only needs to process it briefly, and he can sell it at a good price on the border of the empire. The amount of gold required for each upgrade will be greatly increased.

Maya was relieved by the appearance of the grassroots managers, and she immediately made arrangements to divide the entire territory into several areas, and assign a grassroots manager to each area, so that any of her orders could be well implemented.

The role of the grassroots managers is not limited to these. They are respectively responsible for the statistics and management of hundreds of people in the area under their jurisdiction. Their role is similar to that of a neighborhood committee. At the same time, they are also responsible for the formation and training of the militia. A militia team is very useful.

However, although the emergence of grassroots managers has temporarily solved the problem of grassroots management, such a territory is still unsound, so Maya took out the documents that she had conceived before and went to Owen.

"Currency system?" Owen was taken aback. He knew all the words above, but the combination of them exceeded the scope of his brain's ability to understand.

"In fact, the current commerce and currency in the territory are completely blank." Maya pointed out that the biggest problem in the territory now is also a problem that Owen has always ignored.

Unless the territory is full of serfs, commerce and currency are necessary.

But Owen is an exception here, because all the population is transformed systematically. Although they own their own houses and farmland, they are actually decorations. All the labor is done collectively, and they have never asked for personal compensation. personal property.

This was the biggest flaw in the territory, and Owen broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, it is not too late, Owen immediately agreed to Maya's application, ready to start the territory's financial plan.

The first is currency. Although there is not much gold reserves left in the territory due to the upgrade of the town center, the circulation of gold coins is not much, so the impact is not great.

What was placed in front of Owen was the empire's currency, gold, silver and copper. The patterns on it were crown, scepter, sword and shield, representing the royal family, nobles and knights.

This is a coin minted by the royal family, and its circulation is not high. It is mainly used for rewards and as a template.

The aristocratic lords in various places will mint their own coins according to the style and purity of the royal coins. Although the patterns are different, the value is not much different.

Occasionally, clever people choose to mix other metals, but they quickly lose their circulation due to lack of reputation. After all, they are surrounded by lords, and other than tossing their own territories, these low-quality currencies cannot be circulated at all.

Owen thought for a while, and set the patterns to Hydra gold coins, knight silver coins, and sickle copper coins, representing the Hydera family, managers and citizens respectively.

After the finalization, casting is very simple, and the synthesis furnace can synthesize several tons of metal coins at a time, even including old treatment.

These currencies were quietly distributed to the citizens immediately after they were minted, and at the same time stipulated the tax rate of the territory.

Farmers need to pay [-]% of the harvest of the farmland as tax. This ratio is quite benevolent, because the tax rate of many noble territories is as high as [-]-[-]%, or even [-]-[-]%, and even the seeds may not be recovered.

But it is not enough, because of the perfect water conservancy facilities, excellent farm tools and sufficient animal power, although the land in the Northland is a little barren, but the amount of farmland is here, so the grain output in Qiutian Town is not low, even if it is only half of the grain, the farmers Can't finish it either.

This is mainly related to the fact that most of the current farmers are two-person families, and they are all strong laborers. There are no elderly people on them, and very few have children. There is no drag, and there is naturally a lot of surplus.

Therefore, Owen stipulated that farmers sell excess grain to the territory in exchange for money, and then use the money to buy daily necessities and bread, which also stimulated the business of the territory in disguise.

It sounds simple, but it will take at least two or three months to perfect these, because Maya also decided to build a market to facilitate transactions between the territory and outsiders.

Owen didn't plan to take care of these things, because it was too time-consuming and energy-consuming, and there was no Maya, who turned into a strong woman, to squeeze toothpaste. Feeling that his strength had improved, he decided to go to Dale.

The spiritual power of the puppeteer profession has made Owen a lot of progress in magic spells.

For the first time, Owen, who has greatly improved his skills, has won something.

But thinking about Emile and Bella, Owen felt that he had a long way to go in this regard, and he still had a long way to go. He couldn’t be proud, he couldn’t be proud, he couldn’t be proud. Important things had to be said three times, and he had to concentrate on research.
