Transcendent Noble

"Lilia is the head of the family and is solely responsible for the internal affairs and finances of the territory. When I am not in the territory, Lilia will exercise the powers of the lord on my behalf and take charge of all the affairs of the family. The annual salary is 500 gold. Sol."

Victor first established Lilia's unique and unmatched status. While the participants were relaxed, they were also quietly observing the expressions of Sister Elina. These two beautiful ladies have strong backgrounds and noble births, which are by no means comparable to Lilia. Either emotionally or from their own interests, the Nelsons and several village chiefs are a little worried that they will challenge Lilia's position. It seems that they are overly worried now, and Sister Alina looks calm, seemingly dissatisfied with Lilia's position.

On the contrary, Lilia was quite happy at first, but when she heard that her annual salary was 500 jinsore, the complexion was greatly changed, and she looked like gnashing teeth. Based on her knowledge of Victor, everyone here will have an annual salary, and it will definitely not be less!

How much does it cost? !

Sure enough, Victor laughed towards Lilia and continued: "Alice serves as the family liaison officer, responsible for the family’s foreign trade and diplomatic matters with other families, with an annual salary of 300 kimsol."

It will be Alice's turn to be unhappy. She doesn't care how much power Lilia has, and she doesn't care about the position of the liaison officer. In fact, Sisters Elina received noble women's education since childhood, served their husbands well, educates their children, managed castles and manors, and held various banquets and celebrations are the noble women's life they pursued.

Alice looks down on the power in Lilia's hands. In her opinion, Lilia, like their sisters, is Victor's close maid in name, but is actually the steward of the Randal Family.

The responsibility of the noble lady is to breed the bloodline of the family, educate the children of the family, and enjoy the leisurely life. How can she do steward's work?

If it were not to please Victor, Alice didn't even want to be a liaison officer. She was envious of the elder sister who manages Silvermoon Manor. But Lilia's annual salary is 200 jinsore more than her own, and Alice is deeply shocked. She thinks this shows that her in mind in Victor is not as important as Lilia.

This is indeed the case.

Alice didn't dare to play tricks on Victor, so she panting with rage and looked at Lilia until her elder sister Alina kicked her quietly under the table.

Victor didn’t care about his woman Zhengyu Haishengbo, and continued: “Alina is responsible for the management of Silvermoon Manor and the family castle. In addition, children of vassal families over 7 years old and under 15 years old must accept Elena’s attendant education. Elena’s annual salary is 300 goldsore."

The nobles select outstanding heirs from vassal families, let them serve as servants of the family, teach them fighting and hunting skills, and learn Rich social etiquette, education to cultivate their good living habits, and the sense of honor of loyalty and bravery, this is the attendant education. Only the children of vassals who have received attendant education can be regarded as true High Level people. They are often reused by lords. Therefore, vassal families refer to attendant education as aristocratic education.

Don’t the vassals strive to become nobles?

The village heads were in awe, and even Linda showed a flattering smile to Alina, just like parents flattered the teacher.

Alina's authority is not high, but her influence is very large. She decides the selection and training of family servants, and the vassals of the Randal Family will try their best to welcome this lady. This will encourage the Alina Sisters to integrate into the Randal Family, and the more than two hundred vassal families will no longer be monolithic, virtually reducing the influence of the Nelson family among the vassals. The small collective consciousness clinging tightly will be pried open a crack until it collapses.

Victor's mouth turned up slightly and said: "Nelson is my captain of the guard, commanding the family guard, and concurrently as the chief of the city defense of Randal, commanding the city defense Captain of the villages and towns, with an annual salary of 2000 goldsore."

"No! 2000 Kingsall is too much! Only 1000 Kingsall."

Lilia jumped out and spoke out against her, and Linda, who was smiling, immediately rolled the eyes towards her. Lilia also stared back unceremoniously, and stared at her big brother viciously. Nelson spoiled his younger sister. He weakly said: "Then 1000..." Victor said grimly: "When this is a grocery store? Can you still bargain? Just 2000 Kingsall!"

"The salary paid by the Royal Capital Guard to Knight is 8,000 Kingsall per year, and Knight of the York family also has an annual salary of 4000 Kingsall. With your current strength, it is also It should be allocated 4000 Kinsoul. However, our Randal Family is not rich yet, so we can only give you 2000 Kinsall."

"many thanks to the generosity of your lord." Nelson sorry He touched his head, and asked: "My lord, I've heard of the city defense officer, but what does the city defense Captain do?"

"We will discuss this later." Victor Instructed Nelson to don't be impatient and said: "Barriet serves as the family's military officer, responsible for the training of family soldiers and militias, and the management of armaments. The annual salary is 200 jinshor."

"Barrie Especially, I will order people to build a training camp and a warehouse for military supplies. In the future, the military training and military supplies led by Randal will be independent from the internal affairs system of Flatlake Town, and you will be solely responsible for it."

Old The mercenary Barrett got up and saluted Victor, "Yes, my lord!"

Victor nodded, turned his eyes to Linda and said, "Linda will no longer be the sheriff, she will take over the position of the inspector of the territory. Salary. 200 goldsore."

"The inspector is a new position I created. Her power is to listen to the voices of the people, inspect the government affairs of the villages and towns, and supervise the work of the village chief, the mayor, and the sheriff The village chief and sheriff shall not obstruct inspections and inquiries by the inspector in any way, and the inspector has no right to interfere in government affairs."

"Are there any questions, everyone?" Victor lightly glanced at a frustrated glance. Village head and monkey.

Mo Lin raised his hand and asked: "My lord, is the Ombudsman just like the original Vice Group Leader?"

"Yes."

At the beginning In order to prevent the village leader from using his power to cheat for personal gains and oppress his subordinates, Victor allows the members of each group to take turns to serve as Vice Group Leaders, supervising the leader’s words and deeds. Today, the members of the work-point system have a deep friendship, and it would be out of date to expect them to supervise each other. At this time, it is very necessary to establish an independent supervision system. It happened that Victor wanted to replace the sheriff, so he simply appointed Linda as the inspector, so that he could appease Nelson and allow the inspector and the sheriff to check each other.

The village chiefs have become accustomed to being supervised by the Vice Group Leader. Now they have only changed their personal supervision. They didn't think there was anything wrong with them.

"Munke, my newly appointed sheriff." Victor pointed to the monkey and said: "He is responsible for the security of the territory, and the security officers of the villages and towns are also under his jurisdiction. The annual salary is 100 goldsore."

Everyone's eyes focused on the monkey. He quickly stood up and bowed and said, "My lord, I must do it hard!"

Victor smiled and said: "The appointments of the village chiefs remain unchanged. You are responsible for leading the villagers to complete the labor arranged by Lilia, pay compensation to freelance workers, and arrange their lives. In addition, because Randal is sparsely populated and there are no dangerous wild beasts and monsters in the wild, I will control the actual scope of each village From 300 square kilometers to 400 square kilometers, you have to control the collection of natural resources."

"The village chief’s annual salary is 100 jinsore." Victor paused, then said: "In the future, you As the mayor, the annual salary is increased to 200 goldsore."

"My lord, you are so generous." The head of the second village, George, said excitedly: "This is the first time we heard that the village The head also has a salary."

"There is no salary!" Lilia said coldly with her cheeks puffed up: "The village chiefs in other territories have no salary! Only the village chief led by Randal has the salary, and also Give so much!"

Victor pays 4,200 jinsols to the top of the family every year, plus the expenses of hiring stewards and soldiers, how can we also have 6,000 jinsols every year? Lilia believes that the land has been divided and there is no need to pay them salaries, but she does not know that this expenditure is the core of the Victor system reform.

Victor did not explain to Lilia, and even if he did, no one could understand.

"This money is not so easy to take." Victor knocked on the table, stood up and said: "If you take the money, you have to do things. If any of you can't perform your duties, then I will remove his Let others take their place. Do you understand?"

The village chiefs heart shivered with cold and said in unison: "I understand."

Victor said with a slight jaw. : "Nelson, Barrett, you will deploy your own personnel and arrange 3 guards in each village. They serve as captain and militia instructors for the city defense, and are responsible for commanding the militias in each village and protecting the safety of the villages and towns."

"Munke, you mobilize personnel from the security station, and each village arranges 3 security soldiers to be responsible for the security of the villages and towns."

"From now on, professional things are left to professional people. Each The village chief is only responsible for internal affairs and production, and can coordinate but not directly interfere with the village’s security and public security work."

The village chiefs were confused, and Maureen raised his hand and asked, "My lord, how do we coordinate?" "

"In peacetime, we focus on production and construction. When encountering foreign invasion, we focus on defensive combat." Victor explained: "I divide territorial security into three levels. Green represents security. The village chief is in charge of the overall situation, and the city defense Captain and the security officers cooperate with the village chief’s work. However, the monthly militia training shall not be less than 5 days."

"Yellow stands for vigilance, indicating that monsters or bandits have appeared in the wild. This At that time, the village chief must cooperate with the city’s prevention and security work, and under the premise of ensuring safety, lead the villagers out to work."

"red stands for danger. The village chief and sheriff must unconditionally obey the orders of the city defense Captain and cooperate with the army. Defend against foreign enemies, mobilize supplies, hold on to villages and towns, and evacuate the people!"

As soon as Victor finished speaking, the village chiefs began to whisper, "This method is good!"

"My wise man!"

"I am relaxed!"

Seeing this situation, Victor couldn't help but laughed. He didn't expect that the system reform would be so smooth, and the village chief didn't realize it at all. What did they gain and what they lost.

As early as when designing water conservancy projects, Victor began to study a new system, not because he disliked the vassal system, but because he simply had no vassals.

The vassal system is based on such an objective reality: the ruler is beyond the reach of the place, and expands the ruling area through layers of feuding, forming a political pattern of all the stars cup themselves around the moon. But Victor has no such problem. Randal covers a size of 9,000 square kilometers. It is 121 kilometers long from south to north and 75 kilometers wide from west to east. The seven villages and towns in the territory are located on the banks of the black river and the village farthest from Flatlake Town. It only takes a walk. Three days. If it is riding a horse, Victor's orders can be conveyed to any place in the territory in just one day, not to mention that he still trains the Golden Crow.

Victor sits on Alchemy Tower, with thousands of alchemy creatures under his command, and has the ability to completely control the territory. Since there are no loyal and capable vassals under his men, and the vassal system itself is an inefficient political system, then simply promote centralism!

If the centralized system is an iron-fighting yamen and flowing officials, then the vassal system is an iron-fighting yamen and iron officials.

Although the lord has the power to appoint and dismiss the village and town chiefs, few lords will intervene in the affairs of villages and towns. The duties of the village chief are almost passed down by the vassal family from generation to generation. They are the real local tyrant.

Victor first separated the military power, political power, and legal power of each village and town, and then concentrated it in his own hands, and then changed the government's military system to a recruiting system.

Vassal soldiers do not need military pay, they are loyal and capable. Not to mention the cost of recruiting soldiers for Victor, loyalty is hard to guarantee, and the battle strength is even worse. But the problem came back again, Victor has no vassals! He had no other choice but to hire soldiers.

Actually, recruiting soldiers among the freedmen is just to deal with the current situation. Victor’s real source of troops comes from Shanmin mercenaries. Through actual combat, they are able to tap the weak and stay strong, and then select loyal and brave backbones. Form an army.

The choice of recruiting soldiers was forced by helplessness, but it did shake the foundation of the vassal system. Since it is possible to spend money to recruit soldiers and talents, why bother to hand over the rights completely?

So far, the new system designed by Victor has taken shape, which is a centralized system under the cloak of vassal system. Victor refers to it as a leased employment system.

The rental employment system has the characteristics of both the vassal system and the centralized system. It is a combination of the vassal system and the civilian employment system. Victor rejected the concepts of vassals, leaders, and free people, and promoted supporters, facilitators, supporters and refugees. The core of this system is to convert refugees into supporters, select talents from supporters, and make them helpers through employment. After a period of investigation, the outstanding and loyal helpers are turned into supporters by way of canonization of land.

On the surface, this is still a vassal system, but it is not.

First of all, Fiefdom is no longer linked to rights and positions, but a permanent land lease agreement. If the vassals have no talents, then they can only cultivate obediently and honestly to cultivate the next generation before they are qualified to return to the core of power. In the face of external competitors, vassal families must study hard and continuously improve their own abilities, and never dare to slacken in the slightest.

Secondly, the rental employment system is quite flexible, not limited to the development of the territory, but can also be integrated with the Freedmen Business Group, and finally form an invisible centralized empire.

Finally, it takes hundreds of years for the lord to train a qualified vassal family, and the rental employment system is directly open to a large group of free people, and it can promote the available talents. Its development speed is far faster than that of the vassal system. . Due to the concentration of power, its efficiency is several times that of the vassal system.

The rental employment system also has a drawback, it requires money, a lot of money!

In the entire human kingdom, only Victor can implement the rental employment system at present, because his pioneering collar does not have traditional vassal forces, and he has the world’s most basic martial power and advanced production technology-Alchemy Tower!

"Do you have anything to add?" Victor asked slowly, seeing no one raised his hand, and then said: "Then let it go."

Victor bowed and saluted, mixed with the village chief as he was about to go out, but was stopped.

"Lilia, Nelson and Linda stay. Monkey, you stay too!"
