System: Build My Own Territory-Chapter 720 - 246: [Daily Sign-In] Unlocked (10,000)

Chapter 720: Chapter 246: [Daily Sign-In] Unlocked (10,000)

"Because as long as they keep working diligently and living steadily, the Territorial Law will never affect them."

"The reason for having Scholar Erin draft the Territorial Law is for those who intend to break the rules and disrupt the land’s stability."

Listening to Lynn’s calm voice, Erin fell silent.

She felt that the Lord’s words made sense!

As the Lord mentioned, if no one violates the rules and everyone works diligently,

then, even this territory would not need the existence of Territorial Law.

Just like before she arrived at the Lord’s territory and before she drafted this Territorial Law,

the Lord’s territory was still developing rapidly and orderly!

Thinking of this,

Erin nodded heavily, looking at Lynn with admiration, and said, "I understand, Lord."

Lynn acknowledged with a sound and continued, "It’s good you understand the rationale."

"By the way, since you just came over, it saves me the time to find you."

"Scholar Erin, I need to build a Territory Court and plan to appoint you as the acting judge; are you willing?"

Seeing Lynn’s direct gaze and listening to his inquiry, Erin’s face showed some surprise.

She initially thought the Lord only wanted her to draft a set of territorial laws and regulations.

She didn’t expect to also be appointed as a territorial judge?

Without much thought, Erin replied, "Of course, Master Lynn!"

"As long as you trust me, I will certainly do my utmost!"

Lynn nodded and said, "Very well, Lady Erin."

"You can tell me what assistance you need."

When he learned that Erin Mills was a scholar studying law, he had already considered it.

Appointing her as the judge of the Territory Court.

However,

because the Territorial Law had not been completed, it had to be postponed.

Now it’s different.

With a suitable candidate and the territorial regulatory documents,

he naturally had to put the construction of the Territory Court on the agenda.

Erin thought for a few seconds and explained.

"Master Lynn, to have a Territory Court, first we need a venue."

"It can be within your castle, for your convenience in listening and making final judgments."

"Or, we could construct a courthouse building in the town."

Lynn nodded in response.

Seeing that Lynn did not interrupt her, Erin continued.

"Next, there are the personnel needed in the court."

"Hmm... besides me as a judge, we also need a clerk, jurors, and a defense attorney..."

"The clerk is responsible for recording the trial process, case details, witness testimonies, and the final verdict, etc."

"Jurors can be selected from the townspeople of the territory to assist the judge in hearing cases."

"A defense attorney can be invited, one with relevant experience, to defend or present viewpoints for the case parties."

Lynn nodded again.

Erin’s words continued.

"Then, there are the materials and facilities."

"I may need the Woodworker Workshop to assist with making some seats and gavels needed in the court."

"Also needed are paper, ink, quills, etc., for recording tools."

"There are also the means to temporarily detain the accused criminals or those awaiting sentencing execution."

"And the law enforcement officers to ensure the judgment is effectively executed!"

After speaking all the assistance needed from her mind, confirming there were no omissions,

Erin concluded, "Master Lynn, these are roughly what’s needed."

"There may be some issues in the future that I might still need your help with."

Lynn nodded and said, "No problem."

"I will quickly arrange for a new building to be constructed for the Territory Court, to handle cases on the territory."

"It will have more solemnity and authority, and can even deter the townsmen who wish to violate the Territorial Law."

"For the lack of personnel, you may select someone from within the territory, as long as they can do the job."

"For the lack of items, you can go to Steward Kuisi and have her provide them for you."

"As for law enforcement officers..."

At this point,

Lynn turned his gaze to Red behind him.

"Captain Red, select twenty guards from your Guard Team and assign them to Scholar Erin’s Territory Court."

"From now on, they will be at her command."

"However, if there is any idleness or disobedience, I will hold you accountable!"

Red’s face became serious and he said solemnly, "Yes, Master."

With the arrangements completed, Lynn turned his gaze back to Erin, "Then, I will issue a lord’s decree."

"Even though the Territory Court has not yet started construction, from this moment, you are the acting judge!" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"To handle judicial judgment and maintain order and administrative management on my behalf on the territory."

Listening to Lynn’s resounding words, Erin was immediately inspired.

She responded firmly, "Yes, Master Lynn."

Lynn nodded and let Erin depart to prepare for the Territory Court’s affairs.

He walked toward the wharf by the Aladia River.

As he walked, Lynn was still pondering in his mind.

Drafting a Territorial Law is to regulate the future behavior of the townsmen on the territory.

Building a Territory Court is naturally to severely punish the townsmen who violate the territorial regulations.

Appointing Erin as the acting judge indeed involves decentralizing power, impacting his control over the entire territory.
