Transcendent Noble

"When we don’t have enough manpower, let’s focus our manpower on this matter first."

Victor ended the first scene after the ant plague with these words Round table meeting. During the meeting, Victor clarified each person's responsibilities and assigned manpower to them.

Nelson still leads the guards. In addition to the members of the war bear and the surviving guards, the guards added some people, a total of 100 guards. Compared with the alchemy militia, the battle strength of these guards is terrible, but they have a common feature, they are ordinary persons with a family and a mouth. On the surface, these people are guards, but they are actually trained as the backbone of the army. In addition to practicing martial skills and honing their fighting will, they mainly learn how to deal with complex and changeable local battles. Therefore, their sense of belonging and loyalty are the most important. If the family starts a war, Victor's alchemy militia is the main force in the battle, and Nelson knows this well.

Victor has deployed ten monkey militias for sheriff Linda. This is of course to protect Linda's safety, but also to reduce her influence. Assuming that Linda's subordinates are ordinary persons, they will inevitably be influenced by the old boss, which Victor does not want to see. With the increase in the population of the territory, the power of the sheriff will become more and more powerful, and he will even have to get involved in obscure things. Victor began to consider taking back the judicial power.

Nelson and Lilia are in high positions, and Victor must have characters to check and balance them. This is not a question of loyalty, but a question of organizational health. When the territory’s population reaches a certain size, there will always be speculators around Nelson who will take advantage of one's position to bully people, and even harm the interests of the territory, then Victor needs a buffer to sanction These villains, the sheriff does this. This is also to protect Victor's relationship with Nelson, so Linda must retreat. Linda is now the lord lady, she is obligated to give birth to an heir for Nelson, and Victor will replace her when she becomes pregnant. As for the candidate for the sheriff, Victor has yet to find a good candidate.

Seven villager group leaders, each led by 100 people, are responsible for reclaiming land, planting land and raising pigs. At present, they can only be concentrated in the Pinghu camp, but in the future, they will become the mayor or mayor of the territory.

There is also the instructor Barrett, who is responsible for training guards and militias. All adult male leaders must receive militia training. When facing monsters and invaders, they must at least have the ability to protect Wei Family Park.

On the surface, Barrett is Nelson's subordinate. In fact, like the spy Barol, he is only responsible for Victor and is the upper-level member of the Chamber of Commerce system. Victor values ​​Barrett very much. The alchemy militia must also be trained by Barriet. Although their strength is far surpasses old mercenaries, joint training helps the alchemy militia to blend with the ordinary person. The alchemy militia must learn to cooperate with the ordinary person here in Barrett, including a series of coordinated battle skills such as cover, break, retreat, lure the enemy, interrogate, guard, and so on. The alchemy militia will also provide Barrett with field survival skills such as treating wounds, configuring herbs, lurking, setting traps, and so on. According to Victor's request, Barritt is secretly compiling a mercenary group combat manual.

After everyone else had left, Victor said to Lilia: "Lilia, are you weird, there are so many freedmen under my hand?"

Lilia turned towards Victor Sweetly smiled, lightly shook the head

Victor continued: "The situation here is a bit complicated, as long as you know, I inherited the legacy of a great character, and those people are actually the elite trained by that great character. warrior, they take orders from me now."

"Although I inherited the legacy of the great character, I may also inherit his enemies. The details are not clear to me, but there's no free meal in the world. So, the less people know about this, the better. Now, only Nelson and you know the secret."

"Victor, are you in danger?" Lilia worried first. Asked, and said sadly: "Actually, you don't have to explain to me."

Victor's heart warmed, Lilia did not rely on pets, but abiding by the role of a personal maid, so you shouldn't ask. Don't ask, don't say what shouldn't be said. But Victor can't shut people's eyes or mouths. Once the rumors spread, they will cause unnecessary trouble. Although Victor doesn't need to worry about other lords coveting it, it doesn't mean he is willing to have trouble.

"I just said that there may be danger, but no matter whether there is such an enemy or not, we must prepare accordingly. Therefore, I need you to help me." Victor said.

Lilia eyes shined and asked: "Victor, can I help you? What do you want me to do?"

"Very simple, calm." Victor explained again : "A sheep will be exposed to the eyes of hungry wolves if it leaves the flock. We are the same. Only by incorporating these elite warriors into more people will it not attract the attention of others."

"Leaders are not blind. After a long time they can see that these people are different, but they respect me. They will not ask me to verify, but they will observe your actions and try to figure out your thoughts. As long as you They will feel at ease. For example, Kahn is the guard I sent to protect you, but you are too polite to him. If this falls in the eyes of the caring people, it will cause unnecessary speculation and rumors. The same, Although those elite warriors are mine, you show respect to them faintly, which is very bad! No High Level person would be polite to free people."

"That's because of me I don't know their relationship with you, and Kahn's strength is very strong, I think he should be respected, I don't want to cause you trouble." Lilia said aggrievedly.

"That's why I want to tell this." Victor sighed said: "Lilia, I tell you clearly that your status is much higher than these soldiers. All you have to do is take him As a real freedman."

"Well, I know how to do it." Lilia said with a smile happily.

Victor was nodded with satisfaction, what he said to Lilia, half true half false. But in any case, the strategy of integrating the homunculus class with the leader is beneficial and harmless. According to Victor's estimation, after the ant plague, he has at least thousands of homunculus, half of which will stay in the mountains to collect resources, and the rest will help Victor control the territory and Chamber of Commerce. These homunculus classes are impossible to isolate from the outside world, except for hill camps, which will be restricted areas of the territory.

"Lilia, I have set up many experimental workshops in the hill camp, as well as purple cane liquor, jaggery, snow sugar, which will also be produced in the hill camp. Please let me know, without my permission. People are not allowed to spy on the hill camp. Once they are found, they are treated as spies." Victor instructed.

"Yes, I will do it now." Lilia nodded responded.

"Don't go in a hurry, there are two more things to tell you." Victor grabbed Lilia and said: "You have to organize the women to do laundry, cooking, cleaning the camp, and weaving clothes. , I allow you to give them work points as remuneration, but the women’s work points will be included in their husband’s name. The specific method is up to you. You can also choose several helpers from the women."

"Victor, you, you said to let women join the work-point system?" Lilia stammered.

Ordinary peasant women do no less farm work than men, and they have to take care of children and husbands, but in this monster world, women without battle strength can only rely on their men to gain social status. They are completely male accessories. Lords will not give ordinary women any status. Husbands are vassals. They are vassals. Husbands are free people. They are free people. They work exclusively for their own families, and the lords do not. Will give them any remuneration. Victor has no intention to improve the social status of women, but he cannot ignore the role of women in the family. The pillow style, the short-term information revealed by the parents, affects the child's allegiance to the lord, and spreads words that are beneficial to the lord. The benefits are too much. . Increasing Lilia's influence among women will help Victor control the hearts of the people.

"It's not about letting women join the work points system, but letting them earn work points for the family. Of course, these are not the key points. You need to think about the pros and cons of it." Victor pretended to be mysterious.

Lilia was ignorant and nodded, but what she didn't know was that more than ten years later, a vassal organization called the Handkerchief Society was born in her hands. Subsequently, many similar organizations also prevailed in various territories and became a tradition.

"The second thing." Victor was silent for a long time, his eyes became deep and solemn, and finally said: "All children over six and under eighteen must gather and teach them to write. And arithmetic. This is compulsory and must be implemented."

Victor finally made up his mind to promote universal education in his territory. This is his 1st Step to change human ideology and an important part of Victor's strategic vision. If Victor wants to make full use of the power of the ordinary person, he must liberate the potential of the ordinary person. The implementation of universal education is an inevitable choice. Needless to say, the benefits of education, but spreading knowledge and values ​​in the ordinary person category will shake the existing social system and will inevitably be backlashed. Especially the response of huge monsters like churches is unpredictable.

Victor can't take care of so much anymore. From the beginning of his journey, there have been many strange things. First, the murder of the wizard caused him to live in this territory, thus opening the Alchemy Tower. After learning about the existence of the devil and the Lord of Radiance, Victor was wary of Alchemy Tower and planned to use Alchemy Empire’s legacy to a limited extent. However, an ant plague forced him to completely liberate Alchemy Tower’s abilities, because otherwise Yes, Ant-Man can kill him 100%. This is no coincidence. Victor clearly felt that there was a force pushing him forward.

Victor doesn't know what he will face in the end? The worst result is the enemy of Alchemy Empire, beyond the existence of the devil. Therefore, Victor frantically wants to expand his power, even if he challenges the old order. If it were not for this reason, Victor would be more willing to be a little lord quietly, enjoying gourmet beauties, hunting and fishing, it would be more comfortable than challenging the whole world.

Integrating human resources is already the consensus of the church and the lords, but according to their methods, I am afraid that a unified human empire will not be established in a few hundred years. But Victor knows that apart from war, trade can also integrate human resources, and it is more concealed and harmless. But changing ideology is really dangerous. It may shake the foundation of the church, and the power of the church is what Victor wants to unite.

Of course, the contradiction between enlightenment and stupidity is not unsolvable. Jointly running schools with the church can solve this problem. However, there must be many obstacles and difficulties, and Victor has no concrete ideas yet. Although the breakthrough has not been found yet, it cannot hinder Victor's pace. heaven knows, when will the crisis come.

Victor shook his head and set aside the anxiety in his heart. "Send an emissary to inform the Kingdom Elder's Council and the church about the establishment of the Randal Family."
