Chapter 236: Chapter 163: Good Grief, the Protagonist Invited Them—and Got Rejected??_2

Once appointed as Chief Civil Servant, the base Merit Points every month is thirty. After three years of governance, if the affairs are stabilized and Eagle Territory develops well, corresponding Merit Points will be awarded. If development is poor, corresponding Merit Points will be deducted.

This is akin to the existence of a Prime Minister or Premier from the previous life, but with significantly weakened authority.

For instance, the Knight Order and the Merit System are areas the Chief Civil Servant cannot interfere with.

Without these two, all interpretative rights ultimately lie with Thor.

This is an inevitable outcome.

After all, this is a feudal era where extraordinary powers exist; it is naturally impossible for Thor to adopt a modern civilized system.

That would be unrealistic and akin to digging his own grave.

However, even so, the allure of the position of Chief Civil Servant remains immense.

As soon as this manuscript is released, over ten Civil Servants in Eagle Territory will be wide-eyed.

Because becoming a Civil Servant is truly a leap for one’s entire family.

If one can serve as Chief Civil Servant for three consecutive years, there’s even a way to elevate their family’s status to a level they never dared to imagine.

"We still need to refine some details."

"Let’s announce it after this term!"

A soft voice spoke, and Thor’s tapping fingers stopped on the desk.

He then placed the manuscript back in the drawer.

This document is currently just a manuscript.

Everything still needs further refinement; he certainly wouldn’t release it immediately.

Just as Thor put the document back in the drawer,

there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Thor spoke and looked over.

"My Lord!"

Christine spoke respectfully.

"How’s the situation?"

Thor asked, looking at the girl in front of him.

"My Lord, the preparation of Low-Level Life Potion can now reach one bottle per day. In at most another month, it should be enough to ensure two bottles per day."

Christine reported respectfully to Thor.

"One bottle, not bad."

Thor nodded satisfied; he was pleased with the progress made, improving from one bottle every two days to one per day within a month, translating to an output of two to three hundred Gold Coins a day at Northern Province prices.

From Life Potions alone, his monthly income exceeded 6,000 Gold Coins.

This income surpassed most Lords in Northern Province.

However, after hearing Christine’s subsequent words, Thor was somewhat puzzled.

"Umm, My Lord!"

Seeing Thor’s satisfied expression, Christine sighed in relief but then felt somewhat conflicted.

"What is it?"

Thor was a bit surprised and looked at Christine.

"Umm, My Lord, the letter I sent, my friend currently doesn’t intend to come to Northern Province. They asked me to thank you for your kindness." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Christine awkwardly said.

Previously, she had promised, only to be directly refused, making her feel embarrassed.

"Hahaha, this!"

"No worries!"

"Christine, this isn’t something to fret over. Everyone has their own choices."

Thor was taken aback, then realized what was going on.

A month ago, Christine had mentioned she had a friend, a very powerful Pharmacist, whom she intended to invite over through a letter.

Now it seemed she was likely rejected.

Thor certainly wouldn’t mind much.

Having a Pharmacist was something he wasn’t particularly lacking now.

Besides Christine, there were now three Pharmacists, plus an Elf Maiden. Every Elf is a born Mage, and Mages are also natural Pharmacists.

In fact, Life Potions initially originated from the Natural Forest.

Ivira, as a Mage at the Tier Three Peak, might not have significant combat prowess, but her pharmaceutical skills were undoubtedly reliable.

He indeed wasn’t missing a Pharmacist.

Not wanting to come wasn’t his loss but the other party’s loss.

The conditions Thor could offer a Pharmacist were unmatched elsewhere.

A continuous supply of materials to practice with, along with guidance from Mages.

Even the top Nobility might not provide their Pharmacists with such opportunities.

"Thank you, My Lord!"

Hearing Thor’s hearty voice, Christine sighed in relief and hurriedly thanked him.

"No need to thank me; it’s nothing really."

"More importantly, how’s your progress with meditation?"

Thor waved it off, then asked thoughtfully.

"Pretty good, I’ve already sensed the Sea of Consciousness."

Upon hearing Thor’s inquiry, Christine couldn’t help but smile, her expression a bit excited.

She hadn’t expected her Mage talent to be quite decent; in less than two months, she managed to sense the Sea of Consciousness.

With the current progress, she wouldn’t take too long to open the Sea of Consciousness and become a qualified Mage.

"Not bad!"

"Keep practicing!"

"In the meantime, have them pay extra attention to Low-Level Life Potions."

"The current success rate is still too low."

Thor nodded and instructed Christine.

"Yes, my Lord!"

Christine nodded respectfully and then withdrew.

After Thor learned about the pharmaceutical results,

he continued handling related affairs.

The next ten days passed quickly.

No unexpected events occurred; Joseph became the first Chief Civil Servant of Eagle Territory.

The Baron Valmy’s Territory, under his governance, showed no trace of its past state and was indistinguishable from Eagle Town and Falcon Town within less than two months.

Meanwhile, the arable land in Baron Valmy’s Territory increased from over three thousand acres to five thousand acres.

The population of Baron Valmy’s Territory exceeded thirteen thousand, with slaves originally accounting for ninety-nine percent, and Free People less than five hundred. Yet, in two months of governance, even strictly following Thor’s Merit System, the number of Free People in Baron Valmy’s Territory surpassed two thousand, and overall living standards were significantly improved.

In contrast, neither Raymond’s Baron Gladon’s Territory nor Mongken’s Saki Territory fared as well.

In the heart of Eagle Town,

Thor handed the badge representing the Chief Civil Servant to Joseph, announcing him as the first Chief Civil Servant.

He also briefly outlined the responsibilities and duties of the Chief Civil Servant.

When this news was disseminated,

all Civil Servants were thrilled.

Some even breathed heavily.

"Three years!"

A Civil Servant murmured to themselves, clearly looking forward to the re-election three years later.

Soon, other Civil Servants realized the same and began to anticipate it as well.

This was undoubtedly what Thor intended to see.

On one hand, it offered these Civil Servants more hope, and on the other, it applied pressure to the Chief Civil Servant.

With enough hope and pressure, these Civil Servants could perform better.

In Thor’s vision, his territory wasn’t like those of other Noble Lords, left to its fate; he genuinely aimed to develop the entire territory to its fullest potential.
