Chapter 74 Manor Meeting (Part )

"The duty of the Clerk is... the duty of the Sheriff is... the duty of the President of the Court is... bala bala..."

Compared with Russell's conciseness, Charles, the first clerk of the Black-rumped Snake Manor, seemed too verbose.

Fortunately, it has something to say and does not deviate from the topic.

"Bara Bala... So next, we will elect several territorial officials under the jurisdiction of the Chief Clerk, namely tax officer, agricultural and animal husbandry officer, education officer, diplomat and health officer... By the way, the three officers can also serve concurrently. The above-mentioned positions.”

Wait for Charles to finish.

Russell saw the serf technician in the crowd, who was also the director of the potion village, Rudy with a red nose. He suddenly thought of something and interjected: "Charles, add a technical officer to be responsible for the cultivation technology of potions and magic materials." R&D and promotion.”

"As you wish." Charles responded calmly.

Next, the election began. Charles, as the chief clerk, first recommended a candidate, then Eric, the chief of security, and Hans, the elder of the court, recommended a candidate in turn.

And everyone sitting in the small market, including serf representatives, can raise their hands to recommend candidates, or recommend themselves.

The final selection will be determined by a show of hands.

of course.

If Russell has the right person, all it takes is one word, and it can be the final result - because Russell's word is the law of the land.

The lively selection process lasted for a full hour, and finally several officials under the Chief Clerk were selected.

Katie, the tax officer, Old Hans, the agricultural and animal husbandry officer, and Charles, the education officer, also serve as the diplomat, Catherine, the health officer, and Rudy, the technical officer. The list was approved by Russell and the officials took up their posts at once.

Then began the selection of officials under the chief of security, that is, the commanders (chief knights) and adjutants (deputy knights) of the knights, rangers, and patrols.

Half an hour later, it was confirmed that Eric would serve as the knight commander of the Manor Knights and Katie would serve as the ranger commander of the Crypt Rangers.

A security patrol was established under the Manor Knights, and the captain was the deputy knight, and was served by Russell's knight squire Tom; the Crypt Patrol was established under the Crypt Rangers, and the captain was also the deputy knight, and was served by Catherine.

Finally, officials under the command of the president of the court began to be elected again, and only three official quotas were established.

The judge was concurrently served by Old Hans, the defense officer was designated by Russell as Ranger Howles, which was a kind of win over the free people of the underground cave, and the escort officer was served by Russell's knight guard John.

"Sir, all officials in the territory have been elected. There are three chiefs and six ordinary officials in total, a total of nine officials." After Charles compiled the candidates, he reported to Russell, and also announced it to all serfs in the territory.

Charles, Eric, Old Hans, Katie, Catherine, Rudy the Red Nose, Tom the Squire, John the Squire, and Howles the Ranger.

There are not many people, and most of the positions are part-time, but it is enough.

The Black-waisted Snake Manor is so big and has so many people. Nine officials are enough to manage all the affairs of the territory in every detail.

"Let's start the next process, Charles," Russell said.

"of course."

This was a comprehensive and far-reaching manor meeting, and the process that followed was the adjustment of the village chief, the serf stewards, and the selection of twenty clerical officials - after all, officials had to have subordinates to run errands.

Currently, there are seven villages in Wuyao Snake Manor.

"Rename Doumai Village to Market Village." Russell changed the name of a village to be auspicious for welcoming the new atmosphere.

So the seven villages are Market Village, Potion Village, Diggao Village, Damai Village, Wheat Village, Alfalfa Village and Lentil Village.

"There are currently 854 people and 143 farmers in the market village, which is divided into fourteen ridges. The original village leader was Iron Arm Dunn, the owner of the blacksmith shop." Charles looked at Dunn in the crowd and asked, "Deng Well, will you continue to run for the position of mayor of the market village?" Dunn is about fifty years old, with a thick beard, a long-term blacksmith, and a pair of arms thicker than a normal person's thighs.

"Of course, sir." Dunn stood up and said angrily, "I still want to continue to serve you."

"Okay, Dunn is running for election, who else is running for village chief?"

"I, I want to run for office." The owner of the bakery stood up. "Sir, gentlemen, please allow me to introduce myself. I am the owner of the bakery. Everyone calls me Top Hat Posey. I think I am better than Iron Arms. Dunn is more suitable to be the chief of the market village."

Immediately afterwards, several more serfs from the market village came forward and expressed their desire to run for the position of village chief.

Although the village chief is not an official, he does not receive a salary.

However, compared with ordinary serfs, the village chief could pay less taxes. This alone was enough for the serfs to actively run for election.

The serfs of Market Village have already assembled on the streets.

Under the auspices of Charles, the group of serfs voted enthusiastically. After several noisy rounds of voting, Iron Arm Dunn successfully defended his position as the village chief and continued to serve as the market chief.

"Deng En, after you return, you must organize the farmers in the fourteen ridges of the village as soon as possible and elect new serfs to take charge."

"Please rest assured, Chief Clerk, I, Dunn, promise to complete it properly!" Iron-armed Dunn used his thigh-thick arms to continuously beat his chest, making it bang.

Russell doubted if he would kill himself if he patted him a few more times.

"Next is the Potion Village. Although it is newly established, all the farmers are already there, with a total of 581 people and 97 households, divided into eight ridges. The original village leader was Rudy the Red Nose, a serf technician who planted fluorescent mushrooms. He has rich work experience. Has assumed the position of Technical Officer.”

After Charles' introduction, Red-Nosed Rudy expressed that he would continue to run for the position of Tuan Governor, and then only two serf technicians with the same status expressed their intention to participate in the election.

The result was not surprising, and Rudy the Red Nose was elected with a high vote.

"Now it is the newly established Dikutun. After adjustment, there are 358 people and 121 households. One household has fewer people, so the plan is to divide it into six ridges. There is currently no village chief, and there are no serfs to manage the Dikutun. Farmers can actively participate in the election."

The serfs in Youguang Valley lived in family units, with basically six people in a household.

However, in an environment like the Xiangshui River Cave, the population is sparse. There may be only two couples in one household, so there are many households but a small population.

After some campaigning, Drucker, one of the original three cave rangers, defeated the other two rangers, Halls and Barr, by a slim vote.

This made Howles' face darken because he had previously been supported by Russell and was elected as a defense officer under the president of the court. I thought that I would be able to successfully serve as the commander of Cataclysm Village by virtue of the lord's appreciation, but I didn't expect to be defeated by Druk.

"If you don't want me to stay here, I'll have my own place to stay!"

For a time, Halls felt a lot of dissatisfaction and was already planning to imitate the Wildcat Sisters, leave Cave Village, and settle in other villages.

"It's the turn of Damai Village, with 612 people and 105 households, divided into nine ridges. The original village leader was Black Pete..." Charles said as he took out the pocket watch in his arms and looked at it, "Well, it's already twelve noon. It’s time, then the manor meeting will come to an end and everyone will go back to eat and continue at one o’clock in the afternoon.”

This time, Russell, as the lord, did not take care of the food.

After all, there were 3,500 people, and the kitchen in the manor's courtyard was too busy, so the serfs could only go back to their homes to find their mothers.

However, the newly elected officials were invited by Russell to the manor courtyard to enjoy a sumptuous lunch.

"Cheers, I wish you all great achievements in your new positions." Russell raised his red wine glass.

The officials responded one after another: "I will serve you with all my heart!"
