Becoming a lord in another world starts with farming

With the increase in population, it is far from enough for Maya to manage the territory alone. No matter how much the population of the territory obeys orders, the inefficient operation method completely limits the potential of the territory. Therefore, Owen decided to form an internal affairs department.

The Interior Department is located in the center of the expanded town, with Maya as the consul and Howard as the city defense officer, respectively in charge of the civil and military affairs of the territory.

Next are the grassroots managers who were transferred from citizens. They are responsible for the territory's paperwork, statistics, taxation, finance, publicity, organization, etc.

At the same time, Irving also appointed several citizens to become grassroots officers, responsible for the daily training and logistical support of the territorial soldiers, which greatly reduced Howard's burden. After all, although he was familiar with all aspects of affairs, his energy was always limited.

In addition, Owen squeezed out a few places and changed his profession to doctors, businessmen, and jewelry craftsmen. These are all talents the territory needs.

However, because they are from Western backgrounds, the doctors who have been transferred are the type who have sore feet and severe headaches. Just looking at the method of anesthesia, which relies on wearing an iron helmet and smashing it with a hammer, you can tell that these doctors' techniques have reached the level of taking things lightly. Otherwise, If the patient makes the slightest mistake and cannot be operated on, the person will die.

The only advantage is that the doctor has a wealth of surgical skills. He dares to cut anything, and he can also sew it up to make the patient look like a living person, which is very rare.

What Owen likes is the doctor's suturing skills. Bai Xian is effective, but it is only suitable for small wounds. If the wound is too big, it must be sutured first before it can heal.

As for other shortcomings, they can be replaced by potions, such as anesthesia potions, so Owen confiscated the doctor's pitted little iron pot helmet and blood-stained hammer. He felt that the doctor did not need these things.

The doctor was handed over to Dale to facilitate learning how to use potions, and Emile was also asked to teach some delivery techniques, because the territory was about to usher in the first wave of baby boom, and in case a caesarean section was needed, these doctors would be needed. .

The merchants who change jobs next can make the industry in the territory run, because there is no shortage of food, fur, wood, tools, and weapons in the territory, and they can be sold to the surrounding lords.

At the same time, they also need to take over the transactions with foreign businessmen, which these farmers and civilians cannot do.

The last jewelry craftsman obtained a lot of jewelry from the ruins. He only needed to process it briefly, and then he could sell it at a good price at the border of the empire. The money in exchange could be used to buy the population, and it could also be used as a gold reserve for the territory. After all, the town center The amount of gold required for each upgrade will be greatly increased.

The appearance of the grassroots managers made Maya relieved. She immediately made arrangements to divide the entire territory into several areas, and arranged a grassroots manager for each area, so that any of her orders could be well implemented.

The role of grassroots managers does not stop there. They are responsible for the statistics and management of hundreds of people within their jurisdiction. Their role is similar to that of neighborhood committees. They are also responsible for the formation and training of militia. When necessary, they can bring out a group of people within the jurisdiction of their management at any time. A militia team is very useful.

However, although the emergence of grassroots managers temporarily solved the problem of grassroots management, such a territory was still incomplete, so Maya took out the documents she had conceived before and went to Owen.

Monetary system? Owen was stunned. He knew all the words above, but the combination was beyond the capacity of his brain to comprehend.

In fact, the current business and currency in the territory are completely blank. Maya pointed out that the biggest problem in the territory is also an issue that Owen has always ignored.

Unless the territory is full of serfs, commerce and currency are both necessary.

But Owen is an exception here, because all the people have been transformed by the system. Although they have their own houses and farmland, they are actually just decorations. All the work is done collectively and they have never asked for personal compensation, so they do not have personal property.

This was the biggest flaw in the territory, and Owen suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

Fortunately, it was not too late. Owen immediately agreed to Maya's application and prepared to launch the financial plan for the territory.

The first is currency. Although there is not much gold reserves left in the territory due to the upgrade of the town center, the circulation of gold coins is not much, so the impact is not significant.

Placed in front of Owen was the empire's currency, gold, silver and copper. The patterns on it were a crown, a scepter and a sword and shield, representing the royal family, nobility and knights.

This is a currency minted by the royal family and has low circulation. It is mainly used for rewards and as a template.

Noble lords in various places will mint their own coins according to the style and purity of royal coins. Although the patterns are different, the value is not much different.

Occasionally, some clever people choose to mix other metals, but they soon lose their circulation due to lack of credibility. After all, they are surrounded by lords. Apart from tossing their own territories, these low-quality currencies cannot be circulated at all.

Owen thought for a moment and set the patterns to Hydra gold coins, knight silver coins, and sickle copper coins, representing the Hydra family, administrators, and citizens respectively.

Once finalized, casting is very simple, and the synthesis furnace can synthesize tons of metal currency at a time, even including distressing.

These currencies were secretly distributed to the people of the territory immediately after they were minted, and at the same time, the tax rate of the territory was stipulated.

Farmers need to hand over 50% of their farmland harvest as taxes. This ratio is quite benevolent, because the tax rate in many noble territories is as high as 60% to 70%, or even 80% to 90%, and even the seeds may not be recovered.

But it is not enough. Because of the complete water conservancy facilities, sophisticated agricultural tools and sufficient animal power, although the land in the North is a little barren, the amount of farmland is here, so the food output in Akita Town is not low. Even if there is only half of the food, the farmers Can't finish it either.

This is mainly related to the fact that most of the current farmers are families of two, and they are all strong laborers. There are no old people among them, and there are very few children. There is no burden, and there is naturally a lot of surplus.

Therefore, Owen stipulated that farmers sell excess grain to the territory in exchange for money, and then use the money to buy daily necessities and bread. This also stimulated the territory's business in disguise.

It sounds simple, but it will take at least two or three months to perfect these, because Maya also decided to build a market to facilitate transactions between the territory and outsiders.

Owen didn't plan to care about these things, because it was too time-consuming and energy-consuming, and there was no Maya who transformed into a strong woman to squeeze out toothpaste. Feeling that his strength had improved, he decided to go find Del.

The improved mental power of the Puppet Master profession allowed Owen to make great progress in magic spells.

Owen, whose abilities have greatly increased, won a victory in some aspect for the first time.

But thinking about Emile and Bella, Owen felt that he had a long way to go in this regard. He still had a long way to go. He couldn't be proud, he couldn't be proud, he couldn't be proud, he had to say important things three times, and he had to study with concentration.
