The Troublesome Hero Among the Heroes

The winter in Randene is not cold. When December comes, the lowest temperature is also above freezing, and occasionally light snow falls on the ground and melts faster.

It’s just that it’s relatively humid because of the sea, and the wind keeps blowing, making it uncomfortable in winter.

A team of carriage slowly drove into Amstel, moved towards the governor's mansion.

As soon as the convoy stopped, a dozen youngsters in the carriage got off and rushed to the bathing area near the Governor's Mansion.

Under the system of the Loma Empire, the main officials in various places are appointed by the state at various levels, but clerks such as clerks can be freely exercised by the leaders. Don't go too far.

After hundreds of years of development, local middle and low-level officials have long been divided by local families, and a close and complex network has been formed. Only the first and second leaders are appointed by the emperor, forming a kind of balance.

Charles took over 20 clerks this time as the governor of Randene, although the number is a bit large, they are still within the balance range, so the local tyrants don't care much.

These clerks were all selected when he was still in Imperial Capital with the assistance of Polymeni, the emperor’s chief think tank. A vocational ability test paper and an application test paper were issued, followed by an interview, and finally more than twenty youngsters who met their own standards were selected.

To his surprise, many of these youngsters are scholars in the fields of construction, agriculture, handicrafts, mining, metal smelting, etc. In addition, some are studying writing, taxation, mathematics and other knowledge. of.

But even more surprised are those youngsters and Polimeini. By convention, they don’t understand everything. They rely heavily on their clerks when dealing with specific tasks. In the case of group interviews Your Excellency Charles knows everything, even the postpartum care of ewes can speak out.

Not long after Charles arrived in Amstel and just settled down, he brought a dozen or so clerks and five male and female guards led by Hozenbloz, as well as Dempel Mozawan. A group of fifty-man squad under the command of the captain went to various parts of the Randene Province for in-depth inspections at the grassroots level.

It took them two months to leave. It was early October when they left, and it was already December when they returned.

During this time, Charles inspected the nineteenth Legion stationed at the border, met Borja, who had become the Hundred-men Commander, and then went to six other towns and several villages in the province After conducting research, he also followed Hozenprotz to several larger bandit camps, and had a long conversation with bandits to understand their living conditions and aspirations.

On the way back, Charles announced that all his entourage would be taking a five-day holiday to let everyone have a good rest.

"Welcome the master home." Polley in a maid dress immediately greeted him back at the gate, "Are you going to eat first or take a bath?"

Charles reached out and touched I touched little Loli’s head and asked: "How about writing and math?"

When he first set off for the grassroots level, Boley wanted to go with him, but Charles rejected him and asked her to stay. Come down and learn writing and mathematics with other clerks.

"I have learned!" Polley said triumphantly, her ruby ​​eyes full of pride.

Charles couldn't help saying, "Your eyes are so beautiful."

As a result, he made little loli blush.

There were the original servants in the Governor's Mansion. As soon as Charles sat down in the dining room, a large plate of lamb bun was served.

Satisfied and drunk, soaked beautifully, Charles was hugged by Loli and fell asleep until noon on the second day.

When he woke up, he saw a pair of rubies flashing in front of his eyes, and Polley was resting his arm, and it seemed that it took a while to wake up.

"Wake up?" Charles gently patted little loli's head with his right hand.

Bo Lei said lightly "Um".

Charles lightly said to her: "Can you leave first?"

Poly's eyes suddenly became misty, and she asked with a little bit of crying: "Master, don't Am I?"

"No, no!" Charles said hurriedly, "It's just that you numb my hands."

At this moment, there was a burst of laughter in the distance. The voice is very nice, it seems that a few girls are laughing when they encounter something that makes people happy.

Pollé left the bed immediately, quickly got dressed and ran out of the bedroom, with an expression on her face as if she was going to slaughter the gods.

After washing up, Charles went to his office and asked the servant to bring some food.

Not long after, Bo Lei brought a few steamed buns and a cup of tea. Heaven knows what the meat is in the steamed buns. Charles has already seen many local animals.

Others can rest for a few days, but Charles cannot rest yet.

In two months, he had a simple understanding of this place, and he had a preliminary idea in his heart.

In terms of topography, the big rivers here are more turbulent, and there are many small rivers in the hills in the north to the lowlands in the south. As a result, there are many swamps and wetlands in the south.

As a result, there is not much arable land in this place, and it is necessary to bear the supply of the 19th Legion and the national tax at the same time. The farmers are under great pressure. The overwhelming majority bandits in the mountains are all under pressure to escape. Farmers in the mountains, they have a better life by reclaiming wasteland in the mountains.

It is worth mentioning that there are iron ore and coal mines here, and there is an iron smelting industry foundation, but the level of technology... Charles shook his head.

For trade, Amstel is a fairly lively harbour. Many cargo ships between the continent and other continents rest here, which has stimulated local trade and the tertiary industry, but There are not many special products and insufficient supply materials restrict development.

Charles sat at his desk thinking for a long time and determined the direction of the development of this area.

First of all, agriculture. The swamp area in the south can be operated as an agricultural development zone.

The specific operation is to start from the high-lying area, drain the water from the swamp by digging drainage canals and cofferdams, and at the same time dig ditches to change the waterway, reduce the water inflow from the swamp, and turn the swamp into farmland.

In terms of iron smelting, Charles squeezed his brows and let the iron smelting technology here reach the level of the Western Han Dynasty. The goal is the level of the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

He did this in Little Arthur's world, and he is familiar with it.

Then he also plans to adjust taxation, imposing only a token tax on merchants who come here to sell food and wine, and merchants who purchase Distilled Liquor from here to sell in other places, and process Distilled Liquor with imported materials. A transmigrator customary industry to ensure food security.

Although he still has a lot of things to cook, he needs to eat one bite at a time, and he has to step by step. Otherwise, the steps are too big and the eggs will be caught.
