Chapter 538: The Great Frost is Approaching
After Falcon Karl left, Li Wei summoned all the generals above the rank of Centurion and the management level in the territory—a total of several hundred people.
He announced that from now on, the Blazing Territory would hold shares in Falcon Karl's territory, and even in the future kingdom.
Yes, this 5% of founding shares meant exactly this. Perhaps there wouldn't be dividends for decades, but once dividends were paid, this would be the jurisprudential foundation of the Blazing Province.
"The assassins have a high probability of not coming again, and even if they do, we are not afraid. There shouldn't be any major changes in the next ten years either. These will be ten years for us to recuperate, develop, and strengthen our foundation. However, we cannot slack off during these ten years either. All legions must formulate a rotating patrol and alert system. There must not be the slightest bit of carelessness."
"Additionally, in a little over a month, it will be time for the half-yearly supplies again. The Blazing Territory is easy to deal with, but on Ah Qing's Territory's side, there are over two hundred thousand ordinary commoners who need to be relocated here in succession. So, Zhao Qingshan, you all must find a way to build suitable resettlement housing within the valley of Liwei Keep."
"There is also the issue of how to arrange the commoners once they migrate over. When there are many people, various affairs will also become very numerous. This requires us to establish completely new departments. Or, following Will City's lead, although we cannot set up nine departments, these five departments—the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Logistics Engineering Department, the Strategic Readiness Department, the Spellcaster Association, and the Resource Management Department for farming, forestry, livestock, side-occupations, and fisheries—must be established!"
"Everyone, do you have any ideas, or suitable candidates to recommend?"
Li Wei threw the question out. The establishment of these departments was all about crossing the river by feeling for Will City, but the candidates were very important. This was because once these five departments were established, everything would become formalized. Everything, or rather the vast majority of people in the territory, including the legions, would have to act according to the rules.
Previously, when there were fewer people, everyone was like eating from the same big pot. Although everyone was eating very well temporarily, it couldn't last long term.
