Chapter 483: Grand blueprint

Akaland's promise so happily made Renne surprised.
The eyes of the soul also saw that Akalander’s emotions were far more intense than it appeared on the surface, and he was extremely excited and high-pitched, as if his long-cherished wish that had not been obtained for many years was finally fulfilled, as if he could participate in the construction of the Augustus Principality. Supreme glory.
"what's the situation?"
　　 Reyn muttered in his heart, and said in surprise: "Can you be the master of the mechanical union? This is not a trivial matter."
　　 He meant that Akalander should at least report back to the mysterious president.
　　 Akalander was taken aback for a moment, as if he was concealing something, and explained: "You give a mechanical trade union such a big deal, the president will certainly not refuse, I promised you no problem in advance."
　　 There really is a problem!
　　 Rehn's heart is like Mingjing, but his face is calm, "You'd better communicate with the chairman, and then give me a clear answer."
　　 "Okay!" Akalander nodded repeatedly.
　　 However, the Eye of Soul could see clearly. Although Akalander seemed to have calmed down, he was actually very excited and wanted to leave and return to the Empire immediately.
　　 Next, Renn probably talked about his plan.
　　 The first item is road construction.
　　To get rich, build roads first! This is a well-known saying in the past, how many people get rid of poverty by relying on these six words, and the economic benefits generated have stimulated the development of the entire region.
　　 Rennes prepares to build the highest standard highways for the seven cities under the rule of the Principality to connect them with each other. The streets in the city will also be re-planned, centralized governance, and new urban areas will be developed outside the city to accommodate more people.
　　 At the same time, a railway will be built through the dragon forest to the port terminal of Kingsland.
　　 The second item is universal education and worker training.
　　 This requires cooperation with schools and factories to liberate labor from the land, improve personal productivity, and fully tap human resources.
　　 The third item is to establish a new governance system.
　　 The Principality of Augustus is no longer that kind of backward feudal country. Except for Rennes himself, there is no longer a noble noble, and all the land is owned by Rennes himself. He will appoint a mayor for each city, establish a city hall, and be fully responsible for the construction of a city.
　　 The mayor does not see himself, but only looks at his talents, and will review the mayor’s performance every year.
Rehn already has a set of ideas in his mind? 　 roughly copy the municipal management system of his previous life? 　 have finance, education, industry and commerce, health, public security, justice, etc., preliminary ideas have a dozen bureaus? 　 candidates for these key positions? 　 only the mayor The right to nominate, and the final appointment right is in his own hands.
　　Each director is the same as the mayor? 　 must be screened by the eyes of the soul, and the unqualified ones are immediately replaced.
　　Unpredictable hearts? 　 Especially complicated in politics.
　　 Changed in the previous life? 　 Even the most wise ruler will inevitably be deceived. Moths appear under his command, which corrupts the team's hearts, and finally ends in a tragic end.
　　But it's different in Ellen's? 　No matter how smart a mortal is, it can't resist the extraordinary.
　　Can the eye of the soul penetrate the human heart? 　It is easy to distinguish loyalty and traitor.
　　 Ren is confident that there will not be too many mistakes, and any small actions will not escape his own scrutiny.
Moreover, in the future, he will select a group of the most loyal extreme fighters as the backbone, and then supplement the manpower from the gunwing knights, and form a "trial court" that only obeys his own orders? 　 patrol the entire territory of the Principality, clean up the fallen and monsters? 　 Have monitoring at the same time. The power of officials to find out the criminals hidden among the nobles and commoners? 　You can cut it out first and play it later when necessary.
　　 Rehn’s goal is to build a strong industrial country, not a capitalist who frantically squeezes surplus value.
Most of the profits produced by the people of the duchy will be turned into welfare and fed back to them? 　The newly built factories, schools, hospitals and public facilities? 　The ownership goes to the Duke of Augustus? 　It is the individual of Rennes, but it is actually a bit like a state-owned enterprise in the previous life. Units, uniformly distribute benefits.
　　 A stable and orderly country with relatively happy people's lives, even if there are only a few million people, can provide tremendous power of faith, far surpassing the free-range missionary model.
　　 Rennes will also benefit a lot from it.
　　 One is wealth, and the other is population. This is an essential element for building a huge army.
　　The Spear Wing Knights will be vigorously expanded. In the future, the main source of troops will come from the Principality of Augustus. The group with the highest talent will be selected from millions of people and become one of its strongest backings, second only to the Extreme Wars.
　　 There is also a third advantage.
　　 Augustus’s development model is like a test field. If the results are gratifying and the goddess’s approval, he decides to expand the scale, then...
　　 The corners of Ren's mouth raised, as if light flashed in his eyes.
　　 Akalander listened to his plan, and became more surprised as he listened, but he became more excited as he listened. He couldn't wait to say: "Rene, I will go back to contact the president now, you wait for my good news."
　　Ryan had already seen that he couldn't sit still, so he nodded.
　　 personally sent Akaland into the teleportation formation, Ren turned and entered the main hall of Dragonspine Fort, where many people had been waiting for a long time.
　　 "Meet the Lord Duke."
　　 Rehn took the main seat of the hall, and the group of people below saluted in black.
　　 These people are the upper echelons of Longji City. Nobles, merchants, and transcendents, as well as representatives of all walks of life, are all well-known and famous people in the city. During this period of time, the power in Longji City was empty, and it was they who jointly organized an extraordinary guard to maintain order in the city.
　　 Of course, by taking advantage of the good opportunity to control the city, these people have not forgotten to take advantage of their own hands.
　　 They were suddenly summoned by the Gunwing Knights. They didn't know what the new duke had planned, and they were all uncertain and nervous.
　　 Ren's gaze swept over everyone, read the thoughts of more than a hundred people, and said quietly:
　　 "No need to be polite, everyone sit down."
　　 After the sound of clattering, Ren continued to say: "I invite you to Longji Fort today. There are a few things to announce."
　　 People are all refreshed, knowing that the next words will affect their future.
"The first piece."
Ren stretched out a finger, "Dragon's Back City will become the capital of the Principality of Augustus," he stretched out a second finger, "The Principality of Augustus will have no real lord except me. ."
　　 As soon as the words were over, there was a sound of surprise in the hall.
Dragon Spine City was originally the domain of Viscount Felton. This family has been uprooted, but there are still several vassal lords living under Felton. There are a total of six people, each with a knight collar, and the population is no more than A town belongs to the lowest class of little nobles.
　　 But even a piece of knight collar is an unavailable land that countless people dream of.
　　 The six lords reacted most intensely. They are all extraordinary, and they are also the only real nobles in Dragonspine City. They had been loyal to Viscount Felton, and did not follow when Viscount Felton abandoned the city, and did not participate in the war of usurpation that year, so they escaped Emily's vengeance purge.
　　 As soon as one of the lord was about to speak out, Ren's gaze looked over, and his face turned pale, and he couldn't say a word.
　　 The other five noble lords were also shivering.
"I allow you to keep your title of lord and the castle where the family lives." Rennes said in an unquestionable tone: "Apart from this, all land ownership, tax collection rights and law enforcement rights in the territory will be returned to Austria. The Gusto family."
　　 "After depriving the fiefdom, your family private army must be dissolved on the spot, with the family as a unit, no more than ten extraordinary guards can be recruited."
　　 "Whoever has different opinions, you can raise them now."
　　Every word of Rennes is like a knife, inserted into the hearts of the six noble lords. This is depriving them of their fiefdom and glory. Without the land, how can the family be maintained?
　　 However, facing an extraordinary man at the pinnacle of the legend, he personally killed Mark's Kingslayer, and there were two teams of extreme fighters around him staring at him. No matter how much opposition, no one dared to speak out.
　　 Everyone was silent, and the hall was silent for half a minute.
　　 In the end, no one dared to stand up against it.
　　 "Very good." Renn smiled and said to the six noble lords: "I will give you three days to hand over the jurisdiction in the territory."
Then, he stretched out his third finger, "Longji City will appoint a mayor to manage the city for me. The mayor is not limited by birth, age, or gender, as long as he is confident and competent for the position. All can sign up."
　　 "I can consider granting the title of nobility if I have an excellent performance evaluation during my tenure as mayor."
　　 "There are more than a dozen positions second only to the mayor, each in charge of one aspect, with different rights and benefits."
　　 Many people's eyes lit up.
　　 They are very new to the name mayor. Only a few people have heard of a mayor in many cities in the empire. Although I listened to Lord Duke, the mayor was only a position and had no fief, but the power in his hands was no less than that of the city lord.
　　Managing hundreds of thousands of people inside and outside of Longji City is by no means an easy task.
　　 But compared to the power that can be obtained, what is this?
　　 Someone immediately got up and asked, "My lord, are there any requirements for being mayor? What are the criteria for assessing excellence?"
　　 This is what everyone wants to ask.
Ren took out a pile of materials and sent it down. This was the process he had written before, and said: "Every one of you take a copy and read it back. I will also have someone post a notice in the city. Everyone has the same. One week later, everyone who participated in the registration will be arranged for an exam, and the content of the exam is up to me."
　　 "Different positions have different exam content, and each person can only apply for one position."
　　 "Rank the top five and get the qualification for the second interview. I will choose the final winner from these five people and take the corresponding position."
　　 "Oh, that's right." Renn smiled at the crowd below, "All the right to interpret this process and the results of the appointment belongs to me."
　　 Everyone in the hall looked at each other.
　　Examination?
　　 They had never heard of this method of recruiting officials for most of their lives. Congatro didn't even have a decent school, let alone exams.
　　 This novel mode made some secretly shook their heads, thinking that the new Lord Duke was just a fool.
　　 But there are also people who are eager to try, as if they have seen the hope of getting ahead.
　　 Ren didn't have the patience to explain more and let everyone disband and go home.
　　 Within half a day, it spread throughout Longji City. Almost everyone had heard that Lord Duke had to pass an exam to appoint the mayor and be responsible for the management of the entire Longji City.
　　 For a while, both the upper-class nobles and the lower-class civilians were all talking about it.
　　 Streets and alleys, pubs and hotels are everywhere, people are discussing it, and the notice boards in the city are crowded with people, and it is crowded.
　　 And Ren, the initiator of all this, has taken Bolki and the Ultimate Warrior to Stream City. He spent three days traveling throughout the Principality of Augustus, repeating the same process seven times, depriving the remaining nobles of the fief, and announcing his own policy plan.
　　 Under powerful suppression, no one dared to object.
　　 At the same time, Renn used the eyes of soul to screen loyal people in each city, recruited a group of extraordinary people to form a temporary security team to execute his own will.
　　 There are seven territories in the Principality, two of which are in the northern part of the Dragon Forest, namely Dragon's Back City and Xiliu City.
　　 These two territories have the largest populations, occupying two-thirds of the entire principality. The terrain is flat and will become the economic center of the principality in the future.
　　 The five territories south of the Dragon Forest originally belonged to the Duchy of Lauberdill. Although larger, the terrain is rugged, dominated by hills and mountains, and the population is scattered and difficult to manage. However, this area is rich in mineral resources, including many gray coal mines and iron ore. As long as the transportation problem is solved, a large amount of industrial raw materials can be provided.
　　 Lane gradually had a blueprint for development.
　　 After returning to Dragonspine City on the fourth day, he embarked on the teleportation array and returned to Glamorgan. Akaland brought back good news. The chairman of the mechanical union had agreed to cooperate and gave a preliminary plan.
Rennes looked through the plan of the Mechanic Union, manpower, material resources, machinery and equipment, and various preparations. The amount was huge. Most of them were transported from the Empire to the Principality of Augustus through ships and airships, and even prepared to take off and land at the airship in Glamorgan. Build a long-distance teleportation array.
　　 This large-scale work shows that the Mechanic Guild spares no effort to support ~EbookFREE.me~ Rennes pondered for a long time, and the Eye of Soul observes Akalander from time to time, and has noticed some clues from his urgent attitude.
　　 It seems that the mechanical trade union is more concerned about the construction of the duchy than it is.
　　 This is a bit unusual.
　　 He hesitated for a moment, and asked, "I wonder if I will have the honor to meet the chairman?"
"Sorry." Akalander smiled bitterly. "The president is uncertain, and I finally contacted him. He asked me to tell the Lord Duke that the Mechanic Guild is not malicious. On the contrary, the Mechanic Guild is willing to reach a better agreement with Lord Duke. In-depth and comprehensive cooperation."
　　 "In order to show the sincerity of the mechanical trade union, the three million gold shields invested in the motorcycle factory came from the trade union, and Lord Duke still owns 10% of the shares."
　　 "The president also said that when the time is right, he will meet with the duke."
　　 Ren became more curious.
　　 The Eye of Soul confirmed that Akalander had not lied, and the conditions offered by the Mechanic Guild were incredibly good, giving away money, things and people. There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. Obviously, the mysterious president either asked for himself or had another plan. This great favor would not be repaid in the future.
　　 But it's not easy to refuse.
　　 Not to mention, the mechanical trade union is a huge force in the empire, especially in terms of financial resources, it is unmatched, and it needs their support.
　　 Rein thought about it for a long time, and finally nodded: "Thank you, the chairman, for me, and wish us a happy cooperation."
