In the Age of Heroes, I am a background noble

"Yes! Lord Green."

A soldier nodded. He knew the whole process.

"Take him out and give him fifty lashes. This rabbit man will be lashed thirty times. Everything will be punished like this after that. If anyone does something wrong, everyone will be punished."

Fifty?

What the hell!

These humans showed no mercy, and they whipped the rabbits and werewolves to death with twenty lashes. They cried for their parents and really couldn't bear it.

In front of all the demi-humans, the soldiers beat the group of unlucky guys mercilessly, watching them being beaten bloody and then tied to wooden stakes to bask in the sun.

"Do you understand? This is how you will manage them from now on." Green said to several people next to him who had made contributions in the sub-human suppression campaign. They will become management officials of the sub-human park.

His idea was to let subhumans manage subhumans. He promoted the weaker races to be team leaders, gave them some power, and at the same time, he appropriately punished them, thus stirring up conflicts among different races.

"I understand, my Lord Earl!"

"Easy, I'm experienced!"

A group of people echoed, their faces full of joy at being promoted. Originally, they were just low- and middle-level military officers, and now they only needed to be trained by the scholars invited by Green before they could try to go online urgently.

Then Green looked at the demi-humans who were standing aside with their heads down and wearing human clothes. Compared to the other demi-humans who were working hard and getting beaten every day, these demi-humans looked much better.

These are the spies that Kaiyal found during the subhuman riot. They were the ones who betrayed the subhuman riot. Green intends to try to let them take on roles such as managing the subhuman team leader.

"And you..." He glanced at these guys with a threatening look. These demihumans could be used, but they couldn't be used with confidence. "Work hard. If you do well, I will grant you a surname and make you an honorary knight of our Medici family."

The Honorary Knights of the Medici Family, commonly known as Honorary Medici, are positions set up by Green for these subhumans. They will receive higher treatment than subhuman slaves, and even ordinary humans cannot do anything to them.

"yes!!!!!!"

"I understand, sir."

"We will definitely work hard!"

The demihumans shouted loudly, completely ignoring the resentful looks of their fellow men who were still working in the mines. They had become traitors, so there was only one way forward: to go all the way.

At this moment, a voice sounded in Green's ears, and his deep blue golden finger awakened the territory module.

Enables the territory template.

Evaluation: The demihuman incentive system has initially increased the prosperity of the territory, and the reform of the military militia and military service system has reduced fiscal expenditure.

However, many problems such as population shortage, lack of craftsmen, and lack of management still exist. The advantage is that after the release of troops, your border will be more stable.

I believe that this demonic flag, built on the flesh and blood of subhumans, will continue to fly.

Security Hazard: Goblin King Riot

"Goblin? Aren't those guys dead yet? It's really troublesome. I'll ask Goblin Slayer to take charge of this matter later."

Chapter 54 The Eve of the Meeting

After completing the new personnel adjustments, the Medici Territory is now divided into several types of officials.

The first type is officers who are still serving in the front-line legions. Most of them are now guarding the border with the subhumans. After all, the Tiger Royal Court still wants to make a comeback from time to time. They are the most powerful and best-equipped and are responsible for defending against the subhumans.

The second type is today's second-line soldiers, officers stationed in the interior, mainly used to guard against sub-humans and intimidate surrounding lords.

The third type is militia officers. Most of these soldiers have low combat effectiveness. In order to reduce military expenditure, Green uses them for farming. Every year during the rest season, they will be pulled out for two months of training to maintain their combat effectiveness. If the sub-humans make a comeback, they can mobilize a large number of soldiers without worrying about lack of combat effectiveness.

The fourth type is park officials, among which middle and senior levels are held by human soldiers, while team leaders or slightly higher positions are mostly held by sub-humans, whose task is to supervise production and development projects.

The newly developed land in the territory, the castles, bridges, and roads under construction all require the dedication of subhuman laborers and the supervision of officials.

Most of the above four types of officials are former members of Green's mercenary group. Their abilities are uneven, and many times their personal abilities do not match their original positions. But fortunately, except for the subhuman soldiers, their loyalty is reliable. In the entire Bema Kingdom, there is basically no one who can raise the treatment of sergeants as much as Green.

And the last type, the center of the Medici territory. There are currently very few officials in the City Lord's Mansion, including Green, Kaiar, the Shield Hero, Freellian, Sebastian, etc., as well as some officers with slightly better brains who were urgently promoted from the military officers to serve as the hub.

In fact, if you want to play badly, you don't need too many people to become a lord. It's not impossible to just live a life of idleness and wait for death without caring about the development of the territory. But it is obvious that Green has a lot of ideas, but the abilities of his subordinates are limited, which leads to the need to plan and do things personally in many cases.

However, in order to gather ideas and demonstrate fairness, justice and openness as a lord, Green recalled most officials to the City Lord's Mansion for a meeting to jointly offer suggestions for the development of the territory.

There is no need to worry about time. After two years of hard work by the demi-humans, a road that meets the standards of the Middle World was finally built. With the help of the wargs, the officers can travel back and forth to the lord's mansion quickly, which also strengthens Green's management of the surrounding counties.

In the former royal court, sunlight shone through the windows, filling the empty hall. The warm light made people take a deep breath and feel a tingling sensation.

It has started snowing in the northern regions. When walking on the roadside, every breath you exhale will produce water mist. People have put on thick clothes and the sub-humans are shivering and warming themselves by the fire. In order to prevent the sub-human death rate from being too high, the park administrators have had to reduce their workload to a certain extent.

The bonfire in the fireplace was burning with sparks. The officers who entered the hall felt the temperature rise by several degrees. They could not help but take off their coats and lay lazily in the chairs to chat with their friends.

The last time we met was two months ago during the subhuman suppression period.

Green sat on the Iron Throne, looking at his biggest worries in the audience, and couldn't help but sigh.

Why are they all dressed like bandits? Aren't there any scholars here?

He really couldn't hold it in any longer. Few of the high-ranking officials of the territories sitting at the conference table looked like highly educated people. No one would believe you if you said they looked like nobles in charge of management. It would be more credible if you said they were mercenaries who liked to drink and fight.

Let these people come up with some advice for him. To be honest, Green suspected that they might come up with all kinds of weird regulations. Planning? What planning for territory development? They didn't have such a concept in their eyes.

But there was no way. These were the only people Green had under his command for the time being. Most people from outside were unwilling to go here when they heard that it was a wild land. Moreover, because he was short of money before, he did not have the ability to hire too many capable people.

Well, it depends on yourself.

Boom!

"I've called everyone here to discuss the future development of the Earldom." Green knocked on the table solemnly and began to reminisce today. "You are all important members of the Medici family. Before formulating a development plan, I would like to hear your opinions."

Wow, that's awesome, so can you let us go?

A group of street-slick officers were scratching their heads. They only knew how to chop people, but how could they know how to manage territory development? It's okay to let them eat, drink and do PD, but you let them do these?

forget it.

Most of them had an impatient expression on their faces, some subconsciously picked their noses, or crossed their legs, or chatted with their friends. Today's content touched on their blind spots in knowledge.

"How long will this take? Let's go back and have a drink later."

"Who knew the boss liked to hold such boring meetings? Why don't we just make a decision quickly and then execute it?"

"Oh my god! I heard the boss wants to give each of us two maids? One human and one demihuman. Is that true?"

"I heard it's true. You're worthy of being the boss. We're considered noble lords now, right? We even have maids to serve us. Wouldn't it kill us if we used this?"

The scene was very awkward for a while. The cross-shaped blood vessels on Green's forehead were throbbing. He really wanted to drag these bastards out and beat them up. When others heard that they could enter the core leadership and decide the development of the territory, they were all very excited. Why are you the only ones acting like nothing happened?

He probably knew what the people below were thinking. They had actually come out of the village and seen the world, but their lifelong wish was to make money, marry a few women and become a small landlord.

And now this goal has almost been achieved, and they are not interested in planning the development of the territory. Of course, it’s not that no one has ideas, but they don’t understand, right?

As for becoming a noble, to be honest, most people don't have this idea. It is too difficult. At one point, some people even thought that nobles and ordinary people were two different species. Even Green and his group of people didn't think so.

Bang bang bang!

"Fuck! Shut up!!!" The Earl slammed the table fiercely. "Do you think this is a market? This is a conference room. If you keep making noise, I'll run laps outside!"

It’s the opposite!

Damn, you don't want to make progress in this day and age? Can you be more ambitious?

Forget it, he didn't count on these guys anyway. He looked at the intellectual in his heart, Furlian who just wanted to read the magic book, the genius magician with a broken arm, the overly brutal Kaiar, and the Shield Hero Naofumi Iwamine.

No! He felt this group of people was unreliable. The Earl was a little irritated. He had been dreaming about the intermittent system notification sound recently, but the rubbish system kept talking about something like "Sword God" in a disjointed manner. In short, he didn't understand anything at all, and his temper was bad because of his insomnia.

Forced to ignore these distracting thoughts, Green thought for a moment and took out his previous plan and a rough map and placed them on the table.

“Right now we need to formulate a short-term development plan, which is about the development goals for the next three years.

The author has something to say: I wonder what you guys think of Sword Art Online? Because the characters in it are basically physical combat modes, such as Kirito's black swordsman, and there is basically no magic, what if you travel to the territory in the flesh? From the perspective of painting style, it is more consistent. In any case, modern people can replace some management positions with a little training, and they will learn technology faster. SAO itself is set in a fantasy medieval background and is an isekai-style game made by Maoba Akira. That's why I considered stitching the plot of Sword Art Online into it in the form of a dream copy, which will occupy about a few chapters.

Chapter 55 One Wife and Multiple Concubines

Overall, the three-year plan can be summarized in a rather conservative assessment.

Green did not directly use the half-baked knowledge in his memory to create a bunch of seemingly advanced but actually completely useless things. Being half a step ahead is an immortal, and being a few steps ahead is Wang Mang. As a man suspected of being a time traveler, his final outcome is needless to say.

Generally speaking, the main contents include two aspects: economy and military.

In terms of military affairs, the corresponding rules have been set before, dividing the army into first-line border guards, second-line militias, and third-line reserve soldiers. In this way, the financial burden is reduced. The pressure of 100,000 armaments is too terrifying. Even the huge profits from the trade with the Riyans almost made Green unable to make ends meet.

Some people bet that Green, who made a fortune from the war, can only last for four to five years at most. However, in fact, Green will not be able to hold on next year, and the reform of the force structure is also a last resort.

This is also thanks to the reduced management pressure after the demi-human riots. He had previously invested a large number of troops in managing the demi-humans, and now he has finally freed up his troops.

The areas of innovation are mostly in the area of ​​military weapons. In the future, the military weapons will be repaired and updated. Due to the lack of craftsmen, many soldiers' weapons are now strictly speaking in a semi-scrap state.

The economy is even more conservative. In the countryside, the subhumans are asked to farm and farm again, and most of them grow potatoes and wheat. At most, one or two parks are established to grow economic crops such as cotton and flax, or to graze.

We should be thankful that the increased production in the countryside can meet the needs of the territory. However, economic development still depends on the city, strictly speaking, Gushan Town is the development center.

Of course, there are some more detailed aspects. These are considered to be private tasks assigned by Green.

Return to the present.

conference hall

"Boss, I understand everything else, but what do you mean by encouraging childbirth? Is polygamy acceptable? Is that really okay?"

"Are there really that many women in the territory? And is it necessary to reward women who give birth?"

A man who was only 1.6 meters tall but looked as ferocious as a wolf with a hideous scar on his face suddenly stood up. The kingdom's official law did not allow polygamy, which was a privilege of the nobility.

In fact, his belief advocates monogamy, so he is a little resistant to this.

"Hey! Shut up, you bastard! I asked you to marry more wives, but you're not happy about it, right?"

"That's right, if you ask me, the boss is right! He should marry more women so that he can have sons and continue to kill subhumans!"

"Shut up! If you want to fuck, go find a prostitute. You should have only one wife after you get married! Several wives? Are you a noble?"

"I think having more wives is fine, but giving them money is unnecessary. I'd rather use the money to make more weapons."

The audience immediately became noisy and Green frowned slightly. This was something unexpected.

He had originally thought that with a core group like his, 99% of them being men, this date would be easy to pass. He hadn't expected these guys, who were just knocking on widows' doors for no reason, to have such a mindset. You know, these guys were well-off, so supporting two or three wives wouldn't be a problem.

A rough estimate shows that the ratio of those who agree to and oppose the polygamous policy is about four to six, while less than ten percent agree to give rewards for childbirth.

The issue that has been shelved for many years has surfaced again. Faith can actually go to this extent.

And he had an idea he couldn't even express.

Regarding whether it is possible to intermarry with demi-humans, even illegitimate children should remain pure from an emotional perspective, but from a ritual perspective, if demi-human women are allowed to become pregnant, this can greatly alleviate some of the population imbalance problems in the territory.

This idea was difficult to say out loud, because intermarriage with subhumans would definitely cause some instability in the territory, which would be a source of unrest, but the benefits it would bring would be enormous. However, seeing his subordinates arguing over polygamy today, he readily accepted the idea and kept it to himself.

"You guys, weren't you just talking about adjourning the meeting early? Why are you all complaining now? Aren't you happy that Lord Green is finding you a few more wives?" The silent Kaiar suddenly pushed away the stool and stood up. He was a brainless supporter.
