I'm working on infrastructure in Xihuan

The night in the forest is synonymous with darkness and horror. Nocturnal monsters come and go for food, and in the cold winter, you can hear the sound of insects and ants under the white snow.

A bait full of bloody smell was thrown in the open space, and the monster, which was frantically hungry in winter, could not resist this temptation at all.

The tiger appeared first. It was different from the striped tiger that Lucien was familiar with in his last life. This was a tiger with black fur that melted into the night, breathing a cold mist.

The common name on the mainland is Black Tiger, which is a mid-level monster that can spit out icicles to attack.

Izzy breathed silently, his body temperature dropped to be close to that of the surrounding environment, and the white snow wouldn't even melt in the breath.

He guessed that the first one to appear would be the black tiger, an old friend of the Hall clan.This kind of monster is widely distributed on the outskirts of the forest in the Moon Mountains. They must hunt regularly, otherwise groups of black tigers will attack their village in turn.

Especially in this premature winter, from time to time, black tigers can be found near the village, one or two lingering, and a piece of meat from two chickens was lost—this means that the lack of food makes the wild beasts hungry and about to take risks.

As a result, Yixi and the others, young and middle-aged people who rarely come back, have become ready-made labor forces. Under the organization of the old people in the village, they strengthened the fortifications around the village, patrolled and defended in shifts, and killed one by one when they had the opportunity.

——The fur and bones of the black tiger are all purchased at a good price. A black tiger with hundreds of catties of meat will not lose money whether it is eaten by itself or processed and sold. Blood and urine sprinkled around the village can deter small monsters. If you are lucky enough to dig out a magic crystal in your head, it is a good deal that will make you a lot of money.

But this time it's a mission, he can't do it.

The bait thrown in the open area was still alive, with the residual warmth of flesh and blood uttering a dying "ho ho" moan.This used to be the high-ranking Consul Lord. It's interesting to say that the last time Izzy saw him, it was the other party who came to tell the Hall family that they would pay [-]% more employment tax.

The high-spirited face in memory was replaced by the ugly face of dying and weak under the sharp teeth of the black tiger. Izzy realized that before "this is a big bad thing", he was genuinely happy with what happened to this gentleman .

Ah, is this something more serious?

Izzy couldn't tell.

The man who brought this gentleman was the lord's butler, and they also brought a letter of mission, asking them to throw the half-dead lord consul into the forest, and confirm with their own eyes that every part of this man was eaten dry by wild beasts Two clean.

The power of attorney was signed with the name of the lord, and the cursive signature with round and smooth handwriting. Issie saw Lucien sign it several times with his own eyes. In principle, he should seal up and destroy the information belonging to the completed mission and completely forget it, but he recalled The innocent and innocent eyes of the young man made his heart feel agitated like grass growing.

What will the teenager look like when he signs this power of attorney?

Are those overly clean eyes stained with blood?

Or whether the mood when executing the traitor was as relaxed and happy as he is at the moment, and even a little uncontrollable...

Want to add some fresh and gorgeous blood color?

Izzy couldn't help but let her imagination run wild.

The black tiger sniffed around. It was so hungry that its four legs were limp. It was more eager to supplement the food than to confirm the safety of the environment. It ended in a hasty vigilance work. Prey that tantalizes the scent of flesh.

Izzy watched quietly, motionless.

The night covered everything that happened, and the snowflakes fell, and before the sun rose, death and blood would be buried deep under the white snow.

……

And when the sky is getting brighter, the morning light is faint, and after the snow stops, it will be a rare good weather in winter.

Lucien only felt a headache.

He didn't sleep well, and he didn't have a beautiful Hall mercenary as a sleeping doll. His sleep quality was even worse because of his poor health.

Gee.

The quality of sleep was poor, and when Lucien woke up, he felt more and more exhausted from being hollowed out from the inside out, and he could hear the murmur in his lungs every time he took a breath.

As a result, it was difficult for him to feel better. He had a gloomy face early in the morning, telling the officials who rushed over from the Wilvelde County Government overnight not to breathe, standing under Lucien's nose, wishing he could disappear in place , Shame eyebrow drooping eyes like frost beaten eggplant.

The sudden death of the immediate boss by the boss's boss really caught them off guard, and it was even more unexpected that they would be called by the lord's order overnight.After all, their identities are said to be "officials", but their actual status is more similar to that of Lucien's "little official" or "master" in ancient times in the previous world. Being able to read and write has some talents, so he took refuge in the name of the consul and sought promotion as an "official".

There is no establishment and no guarantee. The efficiency of a corresponding regional government depends entirely on the ability of the consul, whether the division of responsibilities of various departments can be arranged and whether they can be used according to their aptitude.

It's a pity that Mr. Levin Furner doesn't have that talent, which caused the internal chaos of the Wilvelde County Government. One person can manage more than a dozen important businesses such as taxation, civil affairs, road construction, etc., and four or five people can only watch the warehouse gate. , sounds like nothing to do.

It is also conceivable how many dirty deeds are hidden here.

After listening to the officials' introduction of his department's functions with a tingling head, Lucien only felt that the chaos was useless and that he had wasted precious time.

My head hurts even more.

"Shut up when it's done, your boss is dead anyway, listen to me now." Lucien resolutely exercised his power as a lord, and drastically re-divided the functional departments.

This is the first time he has done this, but he has watched several historical dramas in his previous life, and he is familiar with the Ministry of Households, Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Industry, and the imperial family education also includes courses related to the division of imperial government departments and historical evolution. No matter how bad the drawing according to the gourd painting is, it is worse than Velveer's bad partial plan.

In view of the fact that there are only a handful of good and credible cards available to him, Lucien first divided the department into three categories: "people", "finance" and "law" according to the actual situation.

"People" includes agriculture and animal husbandry, engineering construction, and people's livelihood construction.

The most fundamental agricultural and animal husbandry industry is unshakable at any time. In the final analysis, the world is still an agricultural standard system. Even if there are channels to import food from abroad, Lucien cannot completely abandon the local agricultural and animal husbandry industry.

He even wants to encourage the development of the agricultural and animal husbandry industry, reduce taxes to open up wasteland and upgrade technology, and only places with land and enough food can attract more population inflow.

After food comes engineering construction and people’s livelihood construction. On the one hand, if you want to get rich, you must build roads first. There are roads, bridges, and docks. If the transportation is convenient, there is no reason why you can’t make money. On the other hand, you focus on education, charity, business promotion, industry upgrades, etc. business, and maximize the commercial value of the Moon Mountains according to local conditions.

Restricted by natural geographical conditions, it is really difficult for Velvet to make a fortune through industry and agriculture. Even though Lucien, a traveler, can indeed burn a glass to make a soap, there are advanced three-acid and two-alkali steelmaking in the system exchange For iron smelting, the local hardware facilities can't keep up and it's hard to promote full-scale industrialization. It's more practical to think about how to make money from the mercenary merchant adventurers attracted by the Moon Mountains.

Lucien handed over this department to Lawrence.Mr. Steward is a native of Velvet, so he will be more familiar with Velvet's situation, and his role has not changed much in a sense after being upgraded from a manor house steward to a territory's chief steward.

After that, there are related "laws" such as law and public security. Thankfully, there are ready-made leeks in the officials for Lucien to harvest, which made Lucien smile brightly at the dull middle-aged man named Sheld among the officials.

Although Shelder's card looks like an R card, it is an R card with a buff by a legal expert who brought the young Bao Qingtian, the detective Di Renjie, and the criminal officer (?) to the Song Dynasty. The item is so weak that it is not as good as the data of the N card.

Hexagonal fighters like Lawrence are good, but professionals with special skills are also very attractive!

The lord's amiable face flattered Shelder, he lowered his head and stammered, becoming more and more speechless. He is not a flexible and smooth character. He has been guarding old documents in the archives all year round. At this age, he has long accepted that he will end up with nothing. Suddenly he got some blue eyes but panicked.

This kind of person is suitable for hard work but not suitable for leadership and management. Lucien looked and looked in his small vegetable garden with mixed good and bad, and let William, the most professional guard, go there.

In this way, William also took care of security matters, which just happened to transfer the redundant guards around Lucien to the government department to digest part of it.Lucien brought more than 200 guards from the imperial capital, and the cheap second brother gave him a lot of slaves. Given his body and the frequency of travel, he would not need so many people.

Of course, no matter what Lucien wants to do, he cannot do without the word "money". Lucien has a deep understanding of the importance of the ability to make money.

So he separated "wealth" and divided it into two parts, one in and one out.The incoming part is mainly taxes and possible foreign investment in the future, while the outgoing part is the essential part of spending money for construction, people's livelihood and development.

For the time being, Lucien will also be in charge of this department, but he actually wants Mr. Dalton East to do this job, but that also belongs to the little beet in the big brother's vegetable field. He is on the way I tried twice with a hoe, but I still don't know if I can dig it into my bowl smoothly.

Well, let’s try to dig it first. Anyway, Lawrence’s SSR has unlimited potential to be squeezed out, and the cheap R card is not necessarily useless. Besides, the fish pond of the cheap big brother is as wide as the sea, and this one can’t catch the next fish. It's more fragrant.

Lucien made clear the arrangements for the leaders in charge of the department. As for the grassroots employees...he looked at the quail-like officials below him, and except for Sheard, he waved his hand and let Lawrence and William make arrangements for themselves. How to distribute, just discuss and submit to him a distribution plan.

If the selection is not good, if there is a problem, the boss will be implicated and work overtime. Lucien only cares about the results that are finally handed over to him.

After arranging the Velvet County government in such a way, Lucien was finally able to enter the official topic of today's meeting - Velvet's construction plan for this winter.

At this moment, it showed the benefits of Lucien dividing the functions of the departments first. After determining what each department will do, he only needs to ask questions, and the corresponding departments will naturally come to solve the problems for him.

Lawrence was already thinking about how to operate while listening to Lucien's thoughts.

He was in charge of two of the three departments in total, and correspondingly at least two-thirds of the problems were on his head.

How to use the food that Lucien bought, how to help the poor, and how to coordinate with the church to resettle the old, the weak, and the widowed. The "I have a little idea" of the dock and so on, together with the joy of being valued, there is also a chill in the scalp as if the hairline is about to leave him.

Lawrence took a deep breath and suppressed the raised corners of his mouth: "I will do my best to live up to your trust."

He can do it, he can do it, given the opportunity in front of him, even if he is exhausted, he will not let it go in vain.

"I believe in your ability." Lucien encouraged him with trusting eyes.

The social animal experience in his previous life told Lucien that human potential is like water in a sponge, as long as you work overtime and overtime, there is no KPI that cannot be achieved.

The Only Misfit William looks left, then right...

excuse me.
