super star lord

Chapter 23 Intelligence System
Return to the Lord's Mansion.

Before Lin Xiao's butt was hot, the political officer Boyan walked into the study with a lot of files and began to report on the recent week's government affairs.

He had no choice but to collect his thoughts and listen to his story with concentration.

"In terms of maritime trade, the fleet size has expanded to fifteen large sea-going ships. The export of orichanite mines is stable. The export of Seven Star Valley has been completely stopped, and all of them are digested internally. As for the star wood, after mining, part of it is imported into the dock to build sea-going ships. , and the rest are all exported.”

"Until now, the profit generated by star wood and orichanite ore has reached 30 gold coins per month. In addition to purchasing various materials and materials, we have also gradually expanded the amount of auxiliary cultivation potions, precious metals, and runes. Alchemy materials and various medicinal materials are imported to fill the gap in the production of rune alchemy equipment in the territory and the continuous expansion of the scale of professionals."

"In addition, with the completion of the dock, the speed of shipbuilding in the territory is also increasing. From one ship in two months at the beginning, it has increased to two ships in January. As for weapons and armor, star bows, rune cannons and ammunition, etc. , as the manpower becomes more and more sufficient, the output is constantly increasing."

"There is also the Territory Academy that you are paying special attention to. Now the number of students has reached more than 300, and the size of various vocational classes is constantly expanding."

Overall, the development of the territory is good.

All aspects basically met Lin Xiao's expectations.

The territorial officials who were determined by the meeting at the beginning were also conscientious and strictly implemented the development plan.

Reports in this area are submitted to his desk every week.

He still knows his own territory very well.

After thinking about it, he asked a question that he was more concerned about recently: "Has the fleet encountered pirates recently?"

Since the sea trade has become more and more busy, the leading fleet of Xianhe has also been intercepted by pirate groups several times, but because each ship is equipped with rune cannons, some small pirate ships can be smashed by a single shot, so they have not suffered any damage. Too much loss.

In addition, the Cavaliers led by Carter attacked several times and wiped out several small pirate groups, which was enough to make the pirates in the nearby waters terrified.

But the coral sea area is not small, and there are many pirate groups.

If it encounters one of the top ten pirate groups, it will be difficult for the fleet to resist.

"The fleet has been going well recently. Basically, the nearby pirate groups know that our merchant ships are not easy to eat." Boyan said with a smile, "Plus, the performance of the knights several times, we will not trouble them That's good, how dare they come to provoke us."

"Don't be careless." Lin Xiao tapped at the right time, "The pirate groups are strong and weak, not all are so vulnerable."

As the strength of the territory increases, not only the citizens are more confident, but even the management of the territory has a tendency to despise other forces.

This kind of thinking must be snuffed out at the first sign.

Boyan immediately restrained his smile, and said seriously: "Please rest assured, my lord."

Lin Xiao nodded, he still recognized Boyan's ability.

During this period of time, he has basically handed over all the daily affairs of the territory to the government affairs department led by Boyan.And Boyan didn't let him down, not only did he manage all affairs in an orderly manner, he also actively made suggestions for the territory.Many ideas, even from his decades of experience as a lord, are very useful.

After chatting for a few more words, Lin Xiao suddenly asked a seemingly irrelevant question: "Have all the first batch of rats in training been thrown out?"

"Yes." Boyan lowered his voice, "There are 15 people in total, and all of them have been assigned to the territories you designated. Some of them even climbed to the middle level. In addition, the second batch of training is coming to an end, and they can be deployed at any time .”

"No need to wait, let it out immediately." Lin Xiao made a decisive decision, "The third batch of training plans has been postponed, we need to free up our hands to deal with the next test with all our strength."

"As you wish."

Boyan nodded, but with a hint of hesitation on his face, he finally said, "My lord, I don't understand. The establishment of an intelligence system is very important..."

He considered the words for a while, and then continued: "However, according to the news from the mice, those territories were basically established recently, and none of them are stronger than the Xianhe Territory. Shouldn't we use limited resources in In other more powerful territories?"

"For example, the top ten pirate regiments, old village-level territories, and even powerful town-level territories..."

After Lin Xiao listened patiently, she glanced at him approvingly.

One thing Boyan admired was that even if he had doubts about his order, he would take it first and then remind him tactfully.

Instead of raising objections as soon as he came, so that he could not step down.

As a follower, that's quite competent.

Not only did he take care of the lord's feelings, but he also dutifully put forward pertinent opinions, instead of just obeying orders and not having any ideas of his own.

But how to explain his decision still made Lin Xiao scratch his head.

As for his political officer, he still hopes that the other party will know more, which will help the other party grasp the overall situation and avoid wrong decisions due to unequal information.

The establishment of an intelligence system was planned long ago, and related work has been carried out step by step.

But when he finally cast the net, what Boyan got was an unfamiliar list, not even any powerful territory in the Coral Sea Region he had imagined.Therefore, he felt that it was necessary for him to do his duty - to remind the lord.

"Let's put it this way." Lin Xiao thought for a while, and finally said, "Although the territories I chose may look insignificant individually, there are powerful forces standing behind them. Therefore, we need to be more vigilant against them On the contrary, the indigenous territories in the coral sea area have been fighting each other for a long time, and the threat is limited."

"But the territories I chose are different. They look inconspicuous alone, but as long as they are united, their strength will far exceed other indigenous territories. In the future, the Xianhe Territory will continue to grow, and it is bound to collide with them. What I am doing now, Just plan ahead."

Such an explanation was enough for Boyan to understand.

The actual situation is naturally different from his explanation. The territories he chose are all the top territories that he knows, descended in the coral sea area in his previous life.

And standing behind those territories are all big groups, big consortiums and transnational organizations on the earth.

Even, there is a big country behind it.

If he wants to catch up with those big forces after the selection period is over, or even surpass them, he must do every step well.

And intelligence comes first.

This kind of thing should be done sooner rather than later.

Those lords, no one would have thought that before the end of the selection period, when everyone was still waiting for the next test with trepidation, there would be other earth lords planting spies in their territories.

Maybe those people were entrusted with reuse by them.

You know, those selected by Lin Xiao are first of all those with excellent aptitude, coupled with the best training, and even trained by him himself, everyone is extremely good.It is not difficult to stand out.

Maybe someone who knew the inside story would feel that Lin Xiao was making a fuss out of a molehill.

But only he himself knows how terrifying it will be when those big forces, even big countries, start to exert their strength.

You must plan ahead.

If the Xianhe Territory wants to rise, it will inevitably seize the space and resources of other territories.Since the collision is sooner or later, it must be prepared in advance.
