Chapter 700 Autumn Harvest (Part 2)
"Knight Owenna, are you here?" In the lobby of the office. While processing the documents, Romon casually turned to the butler who was standing in front of the desk.
"Your Excellency, you are already here." The butler said.
"En! Let her in!" Romon thought for a moment, and then ordered.
"As you order, my lord." The butler answered loudly.
After a while, Owenna walked through the gate and into the hall.
She didn't disturb Romon immediately, but just stared quietly.
The twenty-five-year-old Romon is gradually maturing, even if he is not a magician, and Owenna who has reached the seventh level can still feel the aura lingering on Romon.
These forces already have a deep feeling.
This man has become stronger and stronger.
"Oh! Owenna, you're here." Romon put down a document in his hand and said, "I heard that your deputy head is a thief?"
"...Yes, Lu Wen, he is a fifth-level thief, but he has made great achievements in the evil disaster. And he is loyal to our territory."
"You misunderstood me, you know, I have to make another adjustment to the army in the territory!"
"Yes, already know."
"Very well. I have divided the army into three major systems. The first is the village guard team and the town guard team. The upper limit of the village guard team is 30 people, usually ten people."
"The minimum number of town guards is thirty, and the maximum is one hundred."
"The above are the first level. All soldiers above the first level can apply to join and enjoy the rank of regular sergeant, but the salary is paid by the villages and towns."
This treatment is to grant a small piece of land, arrange a wooden house, and enjoy a certain salary.
"To upgrade Yuanfan Port into a city, a city guard must be established. In view of the growing size of the city, the security and defense that need to be maintained are getting higher and higher. I have appointed Farfer as the first city guard of Yuanfan Port. One-term commander, this is an army belonging to the second class."
Owenna listened intently, she knew that Romon would not explain this to her.
"In the future, the City Guards,
The first-level fighters are recruited as reserve soldiers, the second-level fighters are regular soldiers, and the third-level fighters serve as squad leaders. Your original team members can go and join them. "
"Understood!" Owenna showed a hint of joy.
Owenna brought back 300 soldiers, while the Rose Knights only kept 100 people, and the remaining 200 people were scattered among the village guards and town guards. , the salary is better.
"The three major knights remain unchanged. The Rose Knights have 100 members, and the Goshawk Knights are far away in other countries. Let's not talk about it. The Tattershaw Knights have 300 members, with Warwick as the leader."
"The standard of the knight order is that the second-level warrior is the reserve cavalry, the third-level warrior is the official cavalry, and the fourth-level warrior is the squad leader."
"However, I also want to form an elite guard, which is composed of personnel who are proficient in assassination and anti-assassination. It needs to have both the nature of the army and the assassination, so that it can be effectively protected. I heard that your deputy head. Lu Wen is A fifth-level thief, I hope he and you can train this guard for me at the same time, and I hope you can be the captain of the guard."
"The number of guards should be around 30. I have already purchased a batch of magic leather armor through the mage union, which can make the wearer walk lightly and not be affected by general charm spells. These are all guards. Standard equipment, my safety is in your hands."
"...My lord, I understand. Don't worry, I will do it." Owenna's eyes lit up slightly, and she promised.
"Okay, go down and get ready!" Romon said, watching her retreat, he couldn't help showing a wry smile.
At night, a sea.
At the beginning of night, the stars of the gods are shining in the sky, the sea waves are undulating, and the waves are rolling.
The pier seemed very quiet, only the faint sound of the tide beating could be heard from afar.
A three-masted sailing ship, and a man came aboard.
The pier is very quiet, but the living area past the pier is a lively place.
Warrior, adventurer. All kinds of businessmen gathered together, and even people from the Thieves Union mixed in the crowd.
And, from time to time, I saw teams of soldiers patrolling.
Even after a while, the matter of killing the Grand Master is still the focus of discussion in the city.
Rolek's pupils were dark, feeling a trace of magic fluctuations, he took a deep breath.
At the age of twenty-five, he became an eighth-level mage. In the blink of an eye, Romon had reached this point.
Walking through the bustling crowd, Rollek looked at the city, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.
As night falls, hotels and bars are the most lively places.
Spirits, barbecues, a circus show, and women everywhere.
A hotel is located at a three-way intersection, and there is a lot of people inside.
Gently pushed open the door of the hotel, went in, sure enough, the inside was 70% full.
"Guest, welcome, what do you want?" The guy was very discerning. He said respectfully.
"Bring me a glass of fine wine, serve some dishes, and give me a quiet table." Rollek said.
"Okay, please sit down." The clerk immediately arranged a table near the corner, and gave the others a wink, indicating that there should be no conflict.
Just sat down on the table, and saw a notice on the opposite wall of the hotel, with a glass lamp next to it, which was brightly illuminated, and there were several people watching it.
"Oh! Govi. What announcement did the lord make again?"
"There is no new announcement, just the qualifications of citizens." This Gove replied.
"Govy, you can read, read and listen, and I'll buy you a glass of ale."
"Okay, the lord said that anyone who wants to become a citizen must be a soldier of the three extremes, and join the army to be a citizen." A citizen is a free citizen and enjoys many rights.
"anything else?"
"Soldiers who have reached the fourth level, if they don't want to join the army, as long as they can buy a house in the city, they will be given the status of free citizens."
"Mages, druids, and knights, if you are willing to migrate, you will automatically get the status of a free citizen. After serving as an apprentice for three years, you will get the status of a free citizen."
"The nobles of all countries, within three generations, proved to be correct and granted the status of free people."
"Those who have crafts, pass the certificate, reach the second level, and serve the city for five years, and obtain the status of free citizens."
"Crafts have a level?"
"I heard that it was the lord who officially approved the establishment of various handicraft guilds, such as leather guilds, shoe guilds, knife makers guilds, saddle guilds, garment guilds, carpenters guilds, blacksmiths guilds, etc."
"Isn't there a guild in the past?"
"It used to be, but the lord officially approved and established it. It will be a legal guild in the future, and has the power to help the lord collect taxes!"
Guild Organizations Organizations that unite people in the same industry for common interests are called guilds, and they have also been formed early in this world.
In fact, many guilds have been infiltrated by relevant churches and have gained legitimacy.
But this is the first time that Romon has admitted on such a large scale.
"The guild has a president and officers who specialize in managing the internal affairs of the guild. The technical level mentioned above is also under the order of the lord, and they assess it themselves."
"Apprentices, helpers, so-and-so craftsmen, master craftsmen, and masters, as long as they are determined to have qualified skills in their respective guilds, they can become helpers, become pre-citizens, and serve the guild or lord for another five years. Freedmen and formal craftsmen, open their own shops, or be hired as craftsmen."
"Hiss...it's so easy. I have a relative who is a blacksmith. It seems that I can come to the assessment."
"If you are a person from another territory, there are still some troubles. However, it is said that the lord has interfered with various nobles, and they have reached a compensation or buy body gold, and they can be free. This is a one-time payment by themselves, or a loan from the lord."
"Is anyone coming?"
"Yes, there are many craftsmen of various kinds coming!"
"There are so many craftsmen in the city, how is the business? Doesn't everyone have nothing to eat?"
"You don't understand. It is said that the lord selects qualified craftsmen to enter the lord's industry. The master craftsman leads them to make high-quality goods and sell them. Now there are many jobs, especially shipbuilders. The lord attaches great importance to them."
"Except for these?"
"In addition to these, it is money. As long as there is money, we welcome it in our city. In short, the lord said that money, skills, knowledge, or status are all welcome."
"Well, the rich are always welcome, only the poor are not, come, let's have a toast!"
Rollek listened silently, if he did not understand the meaning a few years ago, but now, he understands.
"Are people with skills or money absorbed? In this case, the city has indeed developed rapidly. But, he is a druid, how does he understand this?" Rollek's expression became strange.
Of course, if it was modern times, Romon would probably put on a label of discrimination, but this is indeed the case.
Yuanfan Port generally does not accept poor people, because the city is for consumption and manufacturing, people who can only work hard, and do not need outsiders.
These laboring workers are all welfare within the territory.
At this moment, suddenly, a person appeared, and he stepped forward and sat down: "Mr. Muni."
The name was the code, Rolek looked up.
"The family sent me a letter, please go back quickly, and say, you have worked hard these days." This person is from the Iron Throne, said.
"Understood." Luo Laike said clearly: "I will go back tomorrow."
This time, it was just a transit, so I stopped by to see Romon.
At the eighth level, he has calmed down. Although he is still far behind Romon, he will no longer have mood swings easily.
It's early, and the future is long.
The man nodded and said again: "There are too many people talking here, it's not a place to talk."
As he spoke, he gestured to indicate that it was not safe here.
Yuanfan Port was built on flat ground. From the very beginning, there were various secret passages and copper pipes. This was originally a secret, but there is nothing in the world that cannot be leaked. People on the Iron Throne gradually realized this.
Seeing that Rolake understood, this person stopped talking and withdrew. (!)
