"If you are really willing to come, I can pay your salary according to the standards of the Governor of the Governor's Mansion, and also provide a certain amount of crystal sugar, fine salt and pure water as welfare subsidies every month."

"And if you have a wife who is willing to come to Qingyuan Town, you can get an additional independent house as a residence. The interior structure will not be worse than that of a guest house, and your children can also receive free education."

"Although the education in Qingyuan Town currently only provides simple literacy, I will invest more resources in the future to let them learn more knowledge, and I will not even rule out building a magic academy."

Kroger and Walsh were dumbfounded by Gudern's sincere invitation.

The previous benefits are really great. Just by the standard of Governor of the Governor's Mansion, the starting salary is ten gold standard every month.

Of course, this is only the salary standard on the surface. People who achieve this position will have more or less gray income in other aspects.

The highest salary at Kroger was only three golds per month. When it came to the tax collector, it was only a basic salary of one gold per month...

And the subsequent welfare subsidies for rare luxury goods plus houses are a big deal.

Needless to say, there are three rare luxury goods. Just water. According to the current market value, it can reach 30 gold a bottle.

Although it will be much cheaper in Qingyuan Town, it will cost fifty silver coins for a cup. If you are a local, it will cost twenty silver coins for a cup.

At the same time, the houses in Qingyuan Town are completely different from the houses in other places, and Kroger also lived in them once.

After all, he could not stay in the castle if he wanted to. Not far from the castle, Gudern had someone build a guest house.

The purpose of the guest house is to accommodate visitors from outside. It is also prepared to attract those talents and let them experience the living environment of Qingyuan Town.

The structure inside is built according to the modern standard of three bedrooms and two living rooms, and the area reaches 150 square meters. This is only one floor. If it is a single-family house, the total area can reach more than 300 square meters.

And the equipment inside is also considered the most advanced, with floor heating, heating, all-weather hot water supply, tap water pipes, etc. all arranged.

In the end, Kroger and Sterman had different reactions after hearing what Gooden said about the construction of the magic academy.

Kroger seemed a little unconvinced at first, but recalling the existence of Helisa and the development of Qingyuan Town, this suspicion gradually turned into half-belief.

As for what Walsh said about Gooden, Quan thought it was a joke.

The construction of a magic academy is not that simple. In addition to teachers, magic reserves are also very important.

And the most important thing is that the location of the academy must be supported by the elemental leyline. Otherwise, if the amount of elements in ordinary places is used to provide training for magicians, it will make people laugh to death if it spreads.

Nowadays, all the magic academies on the mainland are built on the elemental leylines. In addition to speeding up your magic practice, the more important point is to provide the entire academy with sufficient elemental power for magic research.

Otherwise, with the elemental reserves in ordinary areas, a group of magicians would have to change places after ten days and a half.

Seeing Gudern's sincere look, Kroger considered the intersection between the two and the development of Qingyuan Town, pondered for a while and then nodded.

"Master Gooden, you have invited me like this, so I won't be pretentious. You can arrange my duties as you please. I will spare no effort to fulfill any position I hold."

Seeing that Kroger agreed, Gudern smiled happily and showed a warm smile on his face.

"Welcome to join. You will never regret or be disappointed by your work development in Qingyuan Town."

"Okay, the long chat is over, Colonel Walsh, let's talk about your mission."

After successfully recruiting Kroger, Gooden stopped talking nonsense and shifted the topic to Walsh.

As for the work of the Jinyuan City Chamber of Commerce, there is no need for him to arrange it, just leave it to Old Joseph directly.

"Well, I have three tasks here. The first one you should already know is to understand the forging process of manganese steel."

"The military department does not have to worry about the reserves of manganese steel. Half of the order has been completed as promised. The required amount will be completed by the end of this month. You can go to the warehouse to have a look after the negotiation."

Gooden also followed normal procedures to answer official questions.

Regarding the issue of manganese steel, Walsh did not pay special attention to it, but this matter was a matter of official business and required routine inquiries.

"Well, as long as you complete the manganese steel order within the deadline, I am here to inquire on a routine basis."

After giving a brief response, Walsh moved on to the next task.

"The next mission is related to the arrest of the task force. Apart from such a big deal, the military attaches great importance to the safety of Qingyuan Town."

"So this time I came to ask Baron Gudern, does your territory need the military to send troops to protect it?"

"Military protection?" Gooden seemed a little surprised by Walsh's second mission.

Does the military have to ask for his opinion now when it comes to moving in for protection?

"Well, the military protection this time is a little different from the small team stationed in Jinyuan City. The troops stationed in Jinyuan City are directly led by you and the military department, and the protection troops sent this time are directly controlled by the military department. "

"You have no right to interfere with the mobilization, but their duty is very simple. They only protect Qingyuan Town from foreign enemies. Only then do they need to consult with you on whether they need to introduce troops."

After Walsh's explanation, Gudern's expression did not change much, but in his heart he began to speculate on the military's intentions.

An army directly under the leadership of the military headquarters was stationed in Qingyuan Town, and he was unable to command it. Isn't this kind of behavior an act of luring a wolf into the house?

There are all kinds of different technologies in Qingyuan Town, and any one of them can shock the mainland.

Letting an uncontrolled army move in is like installing someone else's monitor next to your pillow, isn't it?

"I'm glad that the military attaches such great importance to Qingyuan Town. However, the current situation in Qingyuan Town has not reached the point where the imperial army needs to move in. I accept the kindness."

Regarding the military garrison arrangement, Gudern declined it without any change in his expression.

Want to send someone? There are no doors.

Seeing Gooden's refusal, Walsh didn't care at all. This matter was just for consultation, and it was normal for the other party to refuse.

"Well, it's okay. The military department is just asking. If you don't want to, forget it. I'll tell you about the third mission. This will be a good thing for you."

As he spoke, Walsh took out two documents from the round box where documents were stored on his waist and said with a smile.

"This prosecution revealed the treason evidence of the Charleson family, and found the cause of Lord Sehit's death and the murderer. You played an extremely important role in the entire incident."

"The rewards for the follow-up arrangements at the Northern Governor's Mansion have also been distributed. This time, I will help carry and announce them."

"I won't say much more about the official words. Let me just give you the general idea. You are responsible for solving the problem of the Charleson family. You should also take over the agency function of Xuegu Mountain. From the moment we receive the document, you are the one responsible for Qingyuan Xueling and Qingyuan Xueling. The official lord of the Snow Valley and Mountains."

"At the same time, to a certain extent, you have also succeeded in breaking and delaying the conspiracy of the Orc Empire. The upper management originally planned to upgrade you to a title, but your qualifications are still a bit too low, so they simply changed the title of baron to a hereditary inheritance system."

"There is also an imperial reward of one thousand gold, which will be distributed to you soon."

The third task brought by Walsh surprised Gudern a little.

The official takeover of Xuegu Mountain Ridge was faster than he expected. Originally, he thought that he would have to wait until at least next spring before he could be appointed or replaced, but it became a formal position in just one week.

The most important thing was that his title was promoted to the hereditary inheritance system, which made him a little surprised and dumbfounded.

For him, as long as he does not leave Qingyuan Town, it makes no difference whether he has this title or not, even if it is changed to a hereditary system.

But when I glanced at Kroger, I saw that he was promoted, promoted, and rewarded, while he was raped, suspended, and investigated.

This different treatment made Gudern sigh slightly in his heart. It seems that the internal unrest within the empire is still very serious...

Chapter 114 Asphalt saltpeter, military industry completed

After accepting the reward from the empire, Gudern and Sterman continued to chat for a while and then asked someone to take him to the manganese steel warehouse for inspection.

When the other party didn't mention the brick issue mentioned before, Gooden already knew in his mind that the order was probably gone.

It was not surprising that bricks and cement could not be ordered in favor of the empire, and he had no intention of relying on this thing to make money for himself.

After arranging to beat Sterman, Gooden took Kroger to the General Affairs Department office in Qingyuan Town.

A three-story building with a zigzag structure, covering an area of ​​nearly 1,500 square meters and a total area of ​​4,500 square meters, the General Affairs Building is the future government office location of Qingyuan Town.

The construction of this building started at the same time as the first phase of Eqingyuan Town construction and was completed and delivered just three days ago.

The first floor of the General Affairs Building is a public office responsible for processing identity registration, document reissue, municipal feedback processing, etc. counter department.

The second floor is where the functional personnel of Qingyuan Town work. In addition to being responsible for registering and verifying information, they also coordinate with the engineering team and the research institute to arrange the subsequent construction and development planning of Qingyuan Town.

The third floor was originally planned to be used for data storage, but now it is found that the office space on the second floor for data storage is sufficient, so it is temporarily unused and left vacant.

Taking Kroger to the Bursar's Office on the second floor, Gooden explained to Kroger.

"You will directly serve as the general chief of the Qingyuan Town General Affairs Department. Of course, this is not official. You have a two-month inspection period. If you are not suitable for this task, I will consider transferring to other departments."

"Of course, during the inspection period, all your benefits and wages will be paid according to normal standards. Don't worry, I won't let anyone work in vain."

Kroger was also very surprised by this arrangement. He originally thought that he would take over the work from a small department, but he did not expect that Gooden would be directly assigned to the position of person in charge without joking, and it seemed that he really had a position of real power.

Gudern didn't know what Kroger was thinking at this moment, but at this moment he really needed help from professional imperial government affairs talents like him.

As for whether it's suitable or not, we'll talk about it later, but let's try it now.

"I will ask my butler, Old Joseph, to transfer your work assignments to you. If you have any questions, you can discuss it with him."

"If there are any difficulties in government affairs, just send a report directly and I will discuss arrangements with you directly."

"But I hope there will be fewer reports like this. As long as it does not delay or endanger the development progress of Qingyuan Town, you can make your own decision and I will not interfere."

Regarding this kind of issue, Gooden handed over power to the other party very directly. He was not a manager in this area, and neither was Old Joseph.

The management of a population of nearly 5,000 people is a big problem. In the past, Gudern's knowledge "plagiarized" from modern times was used to support it, so there was no big trouble.

But there will always be trouble if this continues, so for such an experienced person with a good personality and goodwill, Gooden is still very confident in handing over the big responsibility to the other party.

"Um."

Kroger nodded heavily at Gudern's trust.

As an outsider, she had criticized Gudern when she first arrived in Qingyuan Town, but the other party didn't seem to care, and now he still assigned her such an important position.

This confidence and the development of Qingyuan Town during this period made Kroger more and more curious about Gudern.

"Okay, let's get to work now, Heiwick. This is the newly appointed chief bursar. You can replace old Joseph and explain some work issues to him."

Gooden looked at the old assistant Joseph who was walking by the door, and grabbed him directly to serve as Kroger's temporary assistant.

"Okay, Master."

Regarding the order from the biggest BOSS, Haivik put down the documents in his hands and began to explain the work issues to him.

After arranging the task, Gudern returned to the castle and prepared to visit the storage room of the bounty order.

Since the previous discovery of limestone and rock salt stones, residents have become more and more enthusiastic about finding the bounty 'treasure'.

So much so that the storage room was filled with all kinds of strange items from time to time.

Later, Gooden was forced to set up a team to identify items to help screen out the repetitive and useless items, leaving only the ones they had not seen and recognized.

But even with this arrangement, the storage room is still often filled with various items. This is due to the help of identification entries among the screeners.

That's why every time I come to the storage room to check items, it's as exciting as opening a blind box.

He was delighted with the quartz sand and natural soda he discovered some time ago. This provided him with the materials needed for making glass.
