In this way, after breakfast, Vared took a carriage to the lord's residence in the city. Alice and the maid Maya were accompanied by Anne and Lilia, while Anne and Lilia stayed at home.

Of course, it is not correct to just stay at home. Lilia also has to work with the staff of the underground arsenal and the researchers to study and create new machinery, arms and production lines according to the theory given by Valed.

And Anne needs training.

Training various techniques of how to fight, how to kill people, and how to kill faster. Whether it is single, multiplayer, squad, legion, or play-off level. This guy even understood a truth through analogy: "In addition to war, there are other ways to kill many enemies." It is rare to say.

You will become an excellent military strategist, warrior and murderer.

perhaps.

However, these have no direct connection with Vared. How long is the life of a vampire? It is not a big deal to appear a little bit of a wife or two who become a murderer. Because he obtained the official qualification of the Blood Dragon Knight at Earl Aberhrasin, Vared believes that even if Anne really becomes a murderer, she must be a cute and morally upholding murderer.

Just like now.

"What... I obviously have an honest and bullying face." Even when I was alone with Lilia, I didn't do much, just complained a little.

"Then, that... Sister Anne, if you block the way like this, I can't walk over."

Then Annie snorted softly, "Our relationship is not good enough to call each other sisters, right?" and left.

If it is only this level, it is not considered bullying.

perhaps.

At the same time, Valed von Castein was busy with another thing.

Perhaps because of the fact that he started a family and a career, after a night, the officials in the lord's residence all felt the same, and the young count became more calm and respectable.

Speaking of which, although Valed was running around in the past few months, the contact with the territory was not interrupted. The officials solved the matters that were not anxious but not important. The matters that were not anxious but important were transmitted through letters, and the information that was very anxious was contacted by the communication crystal. Therefore, a few months after Valed left the Count Castein, the political machines in the territory could barely maintain operation.

In fact, in a sense, this is also why Valed found the trick. Those who work hard to control others, while those who work hard to control others.

His mother, Madame Windsor, was busy managing the Earl Castein, and she had to go out to work at four or five o'clock during the day. She came back very late at night. Sometimes in order to inspect and solve the problems of a certain town and a certain farm, she had to go out for a few days and days and would not come. However, in this way, the Earl Castein under her control still had a certain degree of desolation and decline.

So before that, when Valed was still very young, he made an assertion that his mother, Madame Windsor, was a "mean ruler". She had mediocre abilities, but she was willing to work hard and spend time. So she could barely handle the errands.

What about a "wise ruler" or even an "outstanding ruler"? Han Xin once commented on Emperor Gaozu of Han that he said that the commander of soldiers is only 100,000. However, he is not good at commanding soldiers and is good at commanding generals. This principle is also very correct when governing a country. A person has his limits. The bigger the country he manages, the more things he has, the less he can't use it. Even if a person grows three heads and six arms, he can't finish the chores of a country.

Therefore, a wise ruler must learn to use people. People should make full use of their talents and things. Select professional and outstanding talents, and arrange those talents in the position that suits them the most. As long as this is done, he will be considered a wise ruler.

Of course, in addition to this, there is another thing to be mentioned. Generally speaking, outstanding talents have strong ambitions and superior arrogance. How to control them and let them truly work for you. This is also a means required by a "wise ruler".

And is Valed considered a clever? It’s almost the same, it’s considered.

On his trip to visit the other three counts, the most he did was to read the information of the entire family, collected through the Blood Brotherhood, and the information of the entire family. Fortunately, the vampires in Sylvania were all qualified education talents. There was no problem with loyalty and enthusiasm. This saved Vared a large part of the time and energy of Vared.

He doesn't need to work hard to select talents, nor does he need to spend time ensuring their loyalty and enthusiasm. He just needs to assign them to the right positions according to their personality, talents and habits.

This way of employing people is much better than the political system of "asking out officials after something happens" that has been passed down from the Middle Ages and even with the taste of clan communes. In the past few months of Valed's business trip, the appointment letters were passed down from snowflakes to Dekenhof County. In the end, a total of more than 300 Castein people were appointed.

The most talented group of them were filled by Valed into the lord's residence of the Castein Center, as his team and officials of various departments who took charge of everything. Those with slightly less ability were appointed by Valed as officials of three counties and more than a dozen towns.

Vared wrote a handwritten letter to the appointed tribes, each of whom explained to them the content of their post, what he needed to do, and the importance of it, allowing them to get used to their new profession as quickly as possible.

In this way, in a few months, the Earl Castein could be described as a new look. Despite the serious lack of grassroots officials, many things had to be done by these people themselves. The efficiency of the administrative system was far from as high as Vared expected.

But this also needs to be compared with what. If it is compared with the previous Earl of Castein, then the efficiency of the new administrative system is higher than that of the previous one, which is more efficient than the level that cannot be calculated by reason.

This is the difference between the loose and messy administrative system in the Middle Ages and the modern professional system.

At the same time, this is also the difference between a wise ruler and an outstanding ruler. An outstanding ruler also needs to have an important ability, that is, the ability to reform and create new and more efficient systems.

What he expected was to become such a ruler.

"At present, the biggest problem we face is still the problem of insufficient staff. Although we have appointed more than 300 officials to the three counties and sixteen towns in our territory. However, we have no reserves for the deputy officers needed by these officials. In fact, we cannot reserve them. According to our previous calculations, it is necessary to completely complete your planned administrative system, at least 4,000 trained low-level officials are required. This number is basically the same as the number of vampires in the entire Silvania."

Next to Valed, one of his deputy appointed during his business trip, and his most familiar friend and comrade-in-arms reported to him without expression. His current identity is Valed's adjutant in the army, Valed's clerk in the government, and Valed's confidential intelligence officer. He has only received a subsidy for several jobs. Such a good sucker - I mean, it's hard to find a subordinate with a lantern.

"I have a solution to this problem. In fact, although there is no order from me, there are still many people in my tribe. Is it right that I hired local humans as his staff and subordinates? Then please please secretary."

With Valed's order, Ram immediately took out a notebook and a magic quill from his subspace. As Valed's voice fell, he recorded all the contents.

"In the name of Earl Castein, I declare that all the officials of the three counties and sixteen towns under my jurisdiction to use local Aboriginal people as subordinates in a way that increases administrative efficiency is legal. These activated subordinates, as private staff of the officials themselves, do not count as official officials in the territory. At the same time, I announce that a special expense will be spent as a allowance for this purpose."

"Remember them all, count." Ram nodded, still looking expressionless.

"Yes." Vared nodded, but saw that Ram did not leave.

"Is there anything else?" Vared asked.

"I have some opinions on this. Earl." Ram said: "It's fine in Dekenhof County. But in New County and South County, the border princely residents of these two places are still very unstable. Will there be problems when we allow them to be supplemented as lower-level officials and add them to our government system?"

"Of course, how could there be no problem?" Vared chuckled, "But, what can happen if the problem occurs?"

"People's uneasiness, economic turmoil, and declining public security will eventually affect our rule," Ram replied.

"That's indeed one aspect." Vared nodded: "But why does it affect our rule? I admit that this may have a certain negative impact on our government agencies...but if it is done properly..."

“So what if it is done properly?”

"That's the next order." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support are my greatest motivation.)
