Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

Hobert noticed that after registering the household registration for three consecutive days, he was kind and powerful, but only one-sixth to one-fifth of the potion was digested.

This is after every subject has seen him and received food in front of him.

Hobert sighed in his heart: Giving favors is indeed not the best way to establish rule. Most of the time, this method is just the icing on the cake.

Only by showing one's own strength can it be easiest to establish a rule that is recognized by people.

Of course, this does not mean that giving favors is useless, and it is not a good thing if the "martial virtue" is excessive. It is just that there is no need to give favors frequently. Giving favors occasionally can show the kindness of the lord.

Thinking of this, Hobert suddenly smiled: If it were someone else, without anyone's guidance, it would take constant trial and error to master how to be a lord. But I am different. I only need to combine the actual situation and recall the actions of emperors in the past dynasties, and I can often find references.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, under the guidance of three teachers, the clerks finished counting.

Hobert was sitting in the study, watching carefully. The three teachers who had come to submit statistics stood nervously in front of Hobert's desk, like students who had failed the exam.

Hobert flipped back page after page. Although the final statistical report was a bit messy, the information he needed was still clearly presented in front of him.

There are currently 3,367 people in the territory, which is seven to eight hundred more than Hobert expected.

On the last day, some clerks were registering in front, and some went to the room to make forms, so that the forms were always sufficient.

There are more than 1,000 young and middle-aged people among them. Hobert roughly estimated that during non-farming periods, his limit is that he can mobilize 1,200 young and middle-aged people to work, and he can also mobilize 300 women to provide logistical support.

The manpower that can be mobilized has far exceeded Hobert's expectations.

Then you can start the preliminary preparation work. As soon as the design drawings come out, construction will begin!

Hobert said to the three teachers: "It basically met my requirements."

The three teachers finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Hobert said to the male teacher who has been the most active and contributed the most in the past week or so: "Your name is Conrad, right? Do you want to stay and work in the Lord's Mansion? I am going to create a 'Residence Knight' position." , manage household registration work for me.

"In the future, if a new baby is born or the household registration changes, it will be under the control of the household registration knight, and he will enjoy the relevant treatment of the knight, but there will be no fiefdom, he will only receive a salary from the lord's mansion, and he will be equipped with four subordinates.

"In the future, any projects that need to be carried out in the territory will require registered knights to mobilize the young adults in the town and villages."

Conrad immediately agreed excitedly. Even if there was no fiefdom, this was considered a political career and he was directly serving the lord.

Although the other male teacher was a little unconvinced, he did not dare to show it in front of the lord, and Conrad did do more than him and was more responsible.

Then, Hobert appointed the female teacher as the principal, which made the male teacher even more unconvinced, but he found that under the gaze of the lord, he did not dare to object at all.

Not only that, Hobert also reprimanded the male teacher for his procrastination and extremely improper attitude.

The male teacher broke into a cold sweat and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy.

However, Hobert did not punish him. He only asked him to go back to calm down and become a teacher. When there is still a need for clerks in the future, he will be asked to come to the Lord's Mansion. As long as he behaves well, he will be given a job.

After a lot of kindness and power, Hobert ended his work for the day.

During dinner, Hobert said at the dining table: "There may be a few guests coming tonight. You'd better not go out."

Since Thursday afternoon, Hobert has spotted three disguised villagers doing registration.

They thought they were well hidden, even smearing their faces, and their clothes were a little ragged, but Hobert still noticed that their necks were relatively clean, and they were obviously not used to the local Feneport clothing.

Helen was stunned for a moment, chewing on Hobert's words carefully.

Forsi frowned, wondering why a guest would come at night. Then she realized that this "guest" was an adjective and was meant for Helen.

Forsi asked: "Do you need me to find help?"

You can call Hugh to help.

Hobert shook his head: "I can handle it myself."

Helen was stunned: Can she summon helpers?

Hobert then told Philip and Scheer: "No matter what noise you hear, don't go to my yard."

After dinner, when he returned to the study, Hobert said to Fors: "I guess Backlund's mercenaries have arrived. You'd better go back to Backlund for a while."

Forsi smiled: "This may also be one of my tests."

Hobert knew this was the result, and he handed Forsi a revolver: "Its ability is to fire bullets that make it difficult for the opponent to concentrate. The negative effect is that it is easy to hear some crazy gibbering.

"Be careful yourself."

He knew that the main target of the mercenaries was him, and even if Forsi stayed, there would not be much danger.

Forsi took the pistol and nodded seriously.

At night, Hobert turned off the lights as usual, but he did not sleep. Instead, he held the Tang Dao and sat cross-legged on the bed to wait.

In the second half of the night, his spirit noticed that someone had climbed into the yard.

Boom~

Almost as soon as Hobert noticed it, the door was immediately knocked open, and two men wearing Loen-style knight uniforms immediately raised their guns in the direction of Hobert's bed.

The entire tactical movement from entering the hospital to entering the door to attacking was very clean and neat.

But the moment they raised their guns, they were attracted by the murals on the wall. They almost exclaimed at the same time: "What a wonderful scenery!"

The monster immediately appeared and cursed.

The mercenary who came in first said immediately: "Twisted!"

He twisted the curse onto the nearby chair, which immediately shattered.

Hobert judged that this should be a "corrupted baron".

The two men fired repeatedly and killed the monster, but they had completely lost their previous advantage.

The monster disappeared, and Hobert's knife came closer.

Fortunately, the two forwards were very skilled and immediately separated to avoid Hobert's attack.

However, Hobert reached out to grab him while attacking. The second mercenary who entered the door immediately stayed there, as if he had forgotten to dodge.

"Twist..." Before the "Twist" of "Corrupted Baron" was used, Hobert had already neatly chopped off the mercenary's head.

"Corrupted Baron" was secretly shocked, his comrade was a Sequence 7! He was killed like this! Hobert is much more powerful than the intelligence they collected.
