MTL - Heroes of Silver Moon-Chapter 619 : Another choice

The new French leader held a military and political meeting. Because of the merger of the two territories, in addition to the original people, the Gaoshan leader system also participated in the meeting.

"The topic this time is very simple. One is about the rewards I promised some people when I opened up the territory, the other is to sort out the territory system, and the third is to integrate the new army." Simon said with a yawn.

After two years of not being in the territory, plus the merger of the territories, the new legal territory is now in a mess. In order to clarify the development of the territory, he stayed up half the night last night.

There was some commotion among the people at the conference table, especially people like Galken.

They had all received promises from Simon. Although Simon had mentioned this matter after defeating the Rosen Family, it hadn't been officially announced after all.

Now, a hanging heart finally falls...

Harris and others, who had a small meeting with Simon before, seemed much calmer now.

"Quiet! I will announce the specific rewards!" Simon glanced around, and everyone quickly suppressed the excitement in their hearts and sat upright.

"Christine, Harris, Deborah, canonized as knights, and will own a village as a guard, is there a problem?" Simon looked at the crowd and asked.

"No, my lord!" The group of people replied in unison.

Needless to say, Christine, the lord's younger brother, although he didn't make much contribution, but in this era, there is no such thing as meritocracy, cronyism is the mainstream!

Harris and Deborah, one is the chief military officer and the other is the chief political officer. They have made outstanding contributions in opening up the territory, and they are also the confidants of the lord. Naturally, they will be rewarded more generously than them.

"Siegel, Bulder, Graton, Alyosha...Fourteen people, including Blood Wave, Garken, Maslan, and Wallace, will be canonized as knights and will own a manor as a guard. "

"In addition, Roguli has been executed by me, and the manor he rewarded was inherited by his grandfather, Knight Andrew. Is there a problem?" Simon looked at an old man at the conference table.

When he opened up the territory, every retainer of the Hawke family sent their descendants to help, and Roguli was one of them.

Although he was later executed for seriously violating military discipline and laws by reselling the weapons of the new army, Simon also promised that he would give his family the reward that belonged to him.

"No, thank you for your kindness and generosity, my lord." Knight Andrew replied with a flat expression, neither the sadness of his grandson being executed, nor the joy of gaining a manor for nothing.

Logically speaking, the grandson went to help open up the territory, but was executed by Simon. He should indeed be angry and angry, but Simon also fulfilled his original promise.

Therefore, he didn't know what expression to make.

"Okay, I will get someone to prepare for the award ceremony as soon as possible. The first topic is over! Now start the second topic, sorting out the new legal system!" Simon said very seriously.

The second issue, sorting out the new legal system, is the key to this military and political meeting, and even the third issue, the integration of the new army, can be included in this issue.

"Presumably everyone knows that although the two territories have been merged, the management system of the territory is in a mess. This time I will make new adjustments to the territory system."

Simon asked Harris and others to move the bracket, pointed to the map above and said: "This is a detailed map of the Alpine Territory after the merger is completed. There are a total of 14 towns and towns with a population of 120,000."

"Starting today, according to the red line I drew on the map, the territory is divided into five districts, with two to three towns in each district, and wasteland of comparable size."

"Each village has a village head and an affairs department, which are generally chosen by the villagers themselves, but they can also be appointed by the territory. The priority of the appointment of the territory is higher than that of the villagers' self-selection."

"The town has a town government department and a police office, and the district has a district government department, police bureau, militia department, and district court. All officials are directly appointed by the territory."

Everyone looked at each other, and Deborah even bluntly persuaded: "My lord, we don't have so many officials!"

These days, even being able to read and write is rare, let alone officials with administrative and judicial experience. Because of the strict implementation of the law, the new law has offended many bachelors, and there has always been a huge shortage of officials.

Even if the assistant administrator system was implemented later and talents were selected directly from the administrative examination, it was still only barely able to maintain the operation of the territory.

Now that Simon has figured it out, with so many departments, where can they find people to work?

"No one can figure out the framework first, and officials can be cultivated slowly. Are we in a hurry?" Simon replied leisurely.

Anyway, nothing has happened recently, and it is expected that there will be no troubles for a long time in the future. Deborah and the others can take it easy.

As long as a clear and clear system is established, the territory will develop very quickly.

After hearing this, Deborah breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't ask to get it out all at once.

Let me tell you earlier, it would make him a false alarm...

"The other is the third topic, the rectification of the new army!" Simon continued: "From today, the new army will implement the rank system."

"What is the military rank system?" Harris frowned, he had never heard of it.

"The so-called military rank is a status indicator, which is linked to seniority, military exploits, position and treatment, and is used to make up for the loopholes in position management." Simon Slows replied methodically.

"What's the point? Can't the normal training and combat of the army be maintained only by job management?" Boulder also expressed his own doubts.

"Of course, it's just that military ranks are used as an aid, which will make the army operate more efficiently."

Simon explained in detail: "For example, a veteran who has been in the army for ten years has not been promoted due to various reasons, but he has rich combat experience, which can benefit the recruits a lot, but the recruit who has just joined the army, and his With the same salary and treatment, will he be willing to impart experience to recruits?"

"To give another example, those soldiers who were merged into the new army from the High Mountain Territory have worked in the High Mountain Territory for many years and have made great achievements. But after being merged into the new army, everything has to start all over again. Don't they complain in their hearts?"

Hearing Simon's example, Harris and the others nodded thoughtfully, as if it did make sense.

"So I have formulated three military ranks, namely soldier rank, non-commissioned officer rank and officer rank. Among them, the treatment of officer rank is basically the same as it is now, and the change of soldier rank is not big."

"It's mainly the rank of non-commissioned officer. According to the service time, it is divided into three grades, one grade for three to five years, one grade for five years to eight years, and one grade for eight years and above."

Simon took out the plan he had prepared long ago and handed it to Harris and other military attaches for circulation. The main thing was to rank each member of the new army according to their position and military age.

In addition, those soldiers who were merged into the new army from the high mountains, after completing the recruit training, the soldiers of the standing army were awarded the rank of junior sergeant, the militiamen were awarded the rank of upper soldier, and the officers were also awarded the rank of a basically equivalent officer.

In this way, the grievances of these people can be calmed down, and the new army can be completed as soon as possible.

"Also, the new army has another militia department, which has jurisdiction over the district militia departments of each district, which is at the same level as the original combat command and logistics department. It is responsible for recruiting recruits, relocating veterans, and training militia."

"And...responsible for the compensation for soldiers killed in action."

"My father will serve as the minister, Knight Sewell will serve as the deputy minister, and Knight Andrew will serve as the minister of the militia in each district."

In the past, among the seven retainers of the Hawke family, except for Xi Weier, who served as the chief guard of the Alpine Castle all the year round, the other six were idle at home.

Only when the High Mountain Territory needs to fight, Valéry will call them to fight.

Adhering to the principle of re-employment for the elderly, Simon has arranged positions for all the old retainers of the Hawke family.

No way, the new law now lacks people...

"Master Marquis, what about me?" Knight Wally became anxious when he heard that his name was not pronounced. This is the lord who is re-dividing the cake. How could it be possible without him?

"Oh, there are only so many positions in the militia department, so you can go to the logistics department!" Simon replied indifferently.

"Oh, no problem!" Knight Wally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he had been assigned a job, but suddenly felt something was wrong.

Um? Isn't his youngest son the head of the logistics regiment of the new army? As the central command organization of the new army, the logistics department should be in charge of the logistics regiment, right?

"In addition to these, there is also the upgrading of armaments. I made a kind of compressed biscuits, which will be used as dry food for soldiers in the future. Military uniforms must also be improved, so that some people can't make people call them ugly all day long." Simon Ruofei He glanced at Siegel.

This guy, after defeating the Rosen family, kept buzzing about the ugly military uniform in his ears, which made him design the suit and military uniform.

Ma De, compared with the original Turkish military uniform, the cost of the suit military uniform is several times higher!

Siegel laughed a few times, and quickly turned his head away guiltily. Isn't this Miss Olenna from the Rosen family who keeps nagging in his ears all day long.

"By the way, there is one last thing. It's just a suggestion, not mandatory. It's up to you to choose whether to implement it or not."

At the end of the meeting, Simon made another choice: "I want the territory to operate your minions, and you will get a share every year."

As soon as the words came out, the entire conference room fell silent instantly. Caihu is the lifeblood of their retainers, how can they be handed over to others?

Even if this person is the lord!

"Can you tell me more about it?" Graton, who was sober in the world again, asked expressionlessly.

Simon needs his retainers to help him run the territory. How could such a shrewd person be so stupid as to harm the interests of his retainers.

"It's just the opposite of the people. You have the ownership of the Caihu, but you don't have the right to use it. The Caihu is fully operated by the territory. Except for the operating costs, all the income belongs to you every year." Simon said nonchalantly.

According to the tradition, the lord is the king of his own fief, and the retainers are also the kings of his own retinue. As long as he does not betray his lord, no matter what he does, no one else can control him.

Three villages and twenty manors' retainer fiefdoms are completely insignificant to the new French leader, but Simon doesn't like to have uncontrollable places in his own territory.

The laws of the new law must be implemented unimpeded.

"Then, Lord Simon, how can we ensure that Cai Hu will always belong to us, and how can we guarantee our income?" As the representative of the retainers of the Hawke family, Xi Weier raised his eyebrows and asked~www.novelbuddy.com~ These are the two most core questions ! If these two problems cannot be resolved, they can rest assured that it is impossible for them to hand over Caihu to Simon.

"You can sign a divine contract. If you deprive your cavalry without reason, or withhold the revenue from cavalry, I or my successor lord will be severely punished by the gods." Simon raised his eyebrows and looked at Xi Weier, somewhat surprised.

Judging from the address he was given, the old man's anger hasn't gone away, has he?

"Then what if the operator of Caihu has embezzled the proceeds of our Caihu, or the poor management of Caihu has resulted in almost no income for us?" Boulder thought more comprehensively.

After pondering for a moment, Simon slowly said: "The territory can give you a guaranteed income. The village cavalry has 300 gold coins per year, and the manor cavalry has 100 gold coins per year. You or your descendants must get it. This can also be added to the Within the divine contract."

"So tall?" The group of people were surprised and looked at each other.

Especially Xi Weier, these old retainers of the Hawke family, their manor income over the years is about fifty or sixty gold coins, which almost doubles the guaranteed bottom line.

"Master Marquis, can you give us some time to think about it?" Knight Wally asked out of breath.

Although it is very exciting, this matter is related to the future and foundation of the family, and a decision must not be made lightly.

"Of course, I will hold the canonization ceremony in three days. During this period, you can think about it carefully. You can give me the answer after the canonization ceremony is over."

Simon knew the hesitation of these people, and thoughtfully gave them time to think about it.

After the military and political meeting ended, everyone dispersed. There was a lot of content in this meeting, and they will be quite busy for a long time to come.

Especially the choice given by Simon in the end must be carefully considered.
