Chapter 95
Luo Mo looked at these people from the Ministry of Civil Affairs.Some of them are their own old farmers, and some are newcomers to the manor within a year or two.

As ordinary people, they have neither territory nor money, nor the force and magic of knights.Such a person is actually very miserable in this world.

Sometimes they even live worse than the watchdogs of the nobles in the territory, without dignity and personality at all.

Especially those miners.Luomo once learned from Pope that miners were treated almost the same as the kobolds under the wolf man in the mine.Squeeze the labor force infinitely until the last bit of strength is squeezed out, and then die without dignity.

The laws of the kingdom could have protected these civilians, but in fact they were of no use. You only need to look at Shaker Town to understand this clearly.

In fact, sometimes Luo Mo thinks that if the Kingdom of Clay were to perish one day, it would definitely be a happy thing and a matter of universal celebration.

Now these people have the opportunity to give full play to their talents in their own manors. Not only are they well paid, but they are also respected as individuals.

Of course, after they gain power, they may bully the weak like other nobles, or indulge in enjoyment.This is also human nature.

But Lomo firmly believes that as long as there is a reasonable reward and punishment system, he can continue to maintain the purity and vitality of this team.Let them provide strong logistical support for themselves and their troops.

With this logistical support, Luo Mo can continuously cultivate magic knights and then expand his own strength.

Next, Lomo asked Barron to emphasize the issue of salary and the rules of the manor to everyone.

To sum it up, I can give you a generous treatment, but you have to be obedient.If you are disobedient, not only will all these benefits be withdrawn, but your family will also be evicted from the manor because of your behavior.At the same time, your superiors will be implicated because of you.

After drawing cakes and beating chicken blood for the people in the civil affairs department, Lomo took Baron back to the Fortress of Hunting Souls, while Pope stayed in the headquarters to continue to preside over the work.

Not only the work of civil affairs must be inspected, but of course the work of military affairs must also be inspected.

And Barron is the hub connecting the army and the civil administration, serving not only as the civil affairs chief, but also as the quartermaster.

After returning to Soul Hunting Castle, the officers of the Knights and Militia had been waiting there early.

In the conference room of the castle, there were more than a dozen knights sitting, headed by the two brothers Nicholas, Vincent and Louis.

The others are at least at the level of quasi-second-order knights.

Vader and the other four have not entered the Knights for the time being, and Lomo specially arranged for the four to attend in order to make feasible suggestions for his team.

Nicholas cleared his throat and said, "My lord, the number of knights has grown to 77. Among them, the second-level knights have reached 15 people. The militia has reached 350 people."

"There are 37 people in the Military Law Department, including 25 members of the militia; there are 12 people in the Military Intelligence Bureau, all of whom are knights above the first rank."

"Due to the large number of people, according to your proposal, we have carried out military planning. We have set up combat units such as archers, infantry, and cavalry. The relevant combat coordination is currently being trained."

"In addition, we have carried out the teaching of combat medicine and common magic skills, so that they can calmly deal with magicians. So far, three lectures have been carried out. The second-level knights have also carried out systematic explanations of magic."

"."

Nicholas was eloquent, not only telling the basic situation of the current troops, but also some recent training content and combat personnel configuration.

There were things that Nicholas didn't mention, and Vincent softly echoed and added.

Listening to Nicholas' narration, Luomo was very satisfied.The newly appointed captain of the Cavaliers.No, it should be called Knight Commander now, and he is much better than the previous Jos.

Jos doesn't think about these tactical issues, even if he thinks, it's still at a very superficial level.

All he cares about is always the growth of his own strength.

But Nicholas was different, he set up many imaginary enemies in his mind.Whether it's elemental, arcane, or natural.

Even through the contact with Vader and others these days, he is still thinking about how to fight against the evil orc army with fel magic.

This point is even ahead of Luo Mo's own thinking.

Luo Mo was very happy about this. The existence of his subordinates was to make up for his own shortcomings.If these people don't even have their own strengths, then the army will never be able to keep up with them.

The only shortcoming of Nicholas is that his path to knight promotion seems a bit slow.

However, Luo Mo thinks this is not a shortcoming. As a wise general, when the number of troops grows, he does not need to fight in person, as long as he can formulate tactics and then participate in command.

Then, Luo Mo asked Vincent about the practice of fire magic.

Vincent seemed very excited about this, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, just look at it!"

He stood up, opened the window on the right side of the conference room, swung the cat sword forward, and a burst of flames burst into flames, and a bird's nest not far from the window burst into flames.

"Ouch~ what are you doing~"

Calcifer, who was in a daze in the corner, couldn't help covering her mouth and exclaimed.

There is a pair of sparrows living in this bird's nest. Calcife likes them very much and often interacts with them.

Fortunately, the pair of sparrows did not stay in their nest now.But how depressing would it be when they came back from foraging and found that their nests had been burned?

Vincent was just on a whim, seeing Calcieff's resentful and depressed gaze, he was a little embarrassed for a while.

He knew that Kassif was the lord's favorite woman, so he didn't dare to offend easily.

Luo Mo watched the fire on the tree outside the window getting bigger and bigger, destroying all the beautiful scenery, and looked at Vincent helplessly.

It's fine to talk about it, but it's a bit unreasonable to do it.

Wen Sen realized that he was in trouble, his face turned red, he hurriedly turned and walked to the door, and said, "I'll go and put it out."

"Forget it." Luo Mo waved his hand, walked to the side of the bed, and with a wave of his hand, a burst of cold air shot out, instantly extinguishing the fire.

At the same time, the branches of the tree couldn't bear it, broke with a 'click', and fell downstairs.

Vincent stayed there, feeling a little uneasy.

Luo Mo motioned Vincent to sit down and said with a kind look on his face: "Vinson has been training well these days. He has mastered the flame blast to such an extent."

As he said that, he turned to Marlowe and said with a smile, "It seems that Marlowe, your teacher, teaches very well."

Marlowe was indeed very satisfied with Vincent, and when he heard Luo Mo mentioning himself, he immediately stood up and thanked him, feeling a little proud in his heart.

Luomo turned his head and said to Vincent again: "It's just that when you practice on weekdays, you must have a sense of safety and don't set fires indiscriminately. According to the manor's rules, there is a crime of arson." "Yes, yes, my lord, I Be sure to pay attention." Seeing Luo Mo's pleasant expression, Vincent breathed a sigh of relief, and said immediately.

Then, he turned to Kassif and said, "Miss Kassif, I'm sorry, I will make another bird's nest myself later."

Calcifer was unwilling to intervene in the meeting, and did not dare to say such trivial things in this kind of meeting, but seeing Vincent apologize, the anger in his heart suddenly subsided a lot.

After Luomo instructed Vincent, he asked the rest of the knights in the seat to be promoted to the third rank, and I will personally promote you and give you a magic weapon. "

When everyone saw the magic displayed by Vincent and Luomo, they had long felt itchy. They knew about such a policy, but when they heard Luomo say it personally, they all made up their minds that they must hurry up and train to obtain the qualification to become a magician. Chance.

After talking about the training, Lomo and Barron discussed military spending and military facilities.

Now that the boundaries of the manor have expanded a lot, the infiltration of spies has become easier.

Lomo decided to set up guard towers and arrow towers on the border, and to warn each other with fireworks and military drums.

This matter requires the cooperation of the Civil Affairs Bureau and the Military Intelligence Bureau to establish a strict sentry system.

At the same time, he is also planning to ask Barron to set up another wall around the Soul Breaker Fortress.

This place will become a restricted area of ​​Sardin Manor, and all valuables and taboos will be stored within the walls.

Another problem is the preferential treatment of the families of the Knights and Militia.

In order to encourage farmers to actively train, join the militia and knights.Romo asked Barron to come up with a plan to give preferential treatment to the families of these officers.

Their family members can give priority to working in the shops and various shops opened by Baron. The shop assistants or shop managers in these places do not need to participate in farming, and the treatment is better.

This kind of preferential treatment will give these people a sense of superiority.This is also the sense of superiority that Lomo needs.After all, he is actually a military group in essence.

Although these soldiers are restricted by the manor's code, they cannot enjoy privileges.But their status must be reflected in actual life.

After talking about these things, Luomo poured chicken soup to everyone again: "Everyone, Sardin Manor doesn't care about anyone's origin, nor does it look at any nepotism, you don't need to send your daughter or wife. I will give you all Everyone is a fair stage, as long as you have the ability, you can get everything you want. There is only one thing, loyalty, which I value most. The second is strength."

The people sitting on the field are all people of humble origin. They are grateful for the opportunity that Lomo has given them, and at the same time they are all yearning for more powerful power.Luo Mo's words ignited a stronger desire in their hearts.

So everyone shouted loudly: "Follow your lord's order!"

After arranging his plans for the coming year, Lomo set out for Volo City in mid-to-late December.

In the past, he was just a lord, and he only needed cats in his own territory in winter.

But now he has an official position.According to the usual practice, he needs to go to Volo City to report on his duties before the year, and at the same time visit his superior, Lord Viscount Alex.

At the same time, he also needs to inspect the Sardin House in Volo City.

After arriving in Volo City, Luomo immediately moved into the Sardin House and began to check the accounts.

Over the past few months, House of Sardin has brought him a steady stream of huge profits.

Every time Barron's son George returned from Volo City to report to Lomo, he brought back more than a hundred gold coins.It is currently the most stable income of the manor.

Due to the cooperation with other nobles, George has now become the favorite of the nobles.Every time they go back and forth on the road, they will be escorted by convoys from other estates.

These convoys all followed George and then left carrying alchemy products.Due to the existence of these people, Lomo did not even need to equip George with guards.

And George is also a duck to water in Wallow City.Although he did not dare to embezzle trade proceeds under his father's orders, it is also reasonable to accept the buyer's banquet occasionally.

After the banquet, of course there must be some entertainment activities.It can be said that almost half of the girls in the brothels in Volo City have been slept with by him.

Lomo didn't have any opinion on this.After all, this is the ethos of Clay Kingdom.

He once saw with his own eyes two knights from his manor openly launching a multi-person sports event, and after the event they even exchanged feelings about each other's wives.

Lomo couldn't understand what they were doing, but he was really shocked.

As for himself, the maid Jaina has also become a little restless recently, often asking Nina some more intimate questions, and then seducing himself in various ways.Some of the seductions are just a little too bold and passionate.

In this regard, Luo Mo plans to take care of her in the next year.She is really too young this year, and Luo Mo is a little bit reluctant to do it.

But age is not the main reason.The key point is that Luomo is deliberately restraining his behavior to avoid being too loose and causing his will to be depressed.

Wine and sex have always been gut-piercing poisons and bone-scraping steel knives. You must not let yourself go and take it lightly.

After checking the bill, Lomo also expressed his satisfaction with the work of Elliott and George.

So on the second day of Davolo City, Lomo brought his knights and battle potions as gifts, and formally visited Lord Viscount Alexis.

As soon as he arrived at the reserve camp, Luo Mo was stunned by the sight in front of him.

I saw rows of jackal heads hanging on the beams at the gate of the camp, like a show.

The heads of the four wolf man leaders that Luo Mo killed were also impressively listed.This was sent by Luo Mo more than a month ago.

Job Alexis personally greeted him at the door, took Luo Mo by the hand and led him in together.

"Lord Saldin, your combat potion has been of great help to everyone in the past few months. The gnolls in the Woro Valley have suffered a devastating blow. Now the Woro Valley is simply purified. , There are no more gnolls blocking the road to rob, and a large number of gnolls have begun to flee the Volo Valley." Job said kindly.

"This is all the result of your father, Viscount Alexis' planning, and it has nothing to do with me." Luomo said humbly.

He was telling the truth, without the lead of Viscount Alexis, the gnolls in the Volo Valley would never have been liquidated so quickly.After all, they have an inexplicable relationship with the nobles of some large territories.

Romo even thought that it might be because of the trade relationship between the North and the evil orcs that these nobles made disguised compromises with Viscount Alex in order to appease his heart?
Thinking of the evil orcs, Luo Mo felt a little tangled in his heart. Should he tell him the deal between the nobles and the evil orcs?

However, it was useless to think about this kind of thing, so Romo decided to explore Viscount Alex's words first.

In his opinion, even if this kind of thing is told to him, he is powerless to stop it, and it will cause turmoil instead.

Luo Mo doesn't want to be in turmoil now, he still needs a certain amount of time to develop properly.
