anwhile, Zhou Bai in the Lord Mansion was indeed making plans.
First on the list were the newly added buildings from yesterday.
Most of them had been sorted out last night, either operating autonomously or with assigned managers, so she barely had to worry about them anymore; her current concern was only the market.
The market’s sole advantage was its direct connection to personal backpacks, allowing for imdiate resupply of goods, which definitely saved a lot of hassle in business.
But with the market exceeding a hundred stalls, it would be impossible for Zhou Bai to set prices for each one.
Leave specialist tasks to the specialists, Zhou Bai hastened to make a note of it, and got ready to hand it over to the Comrcial Managent Office.
Next was the school, which had already been built, and teachers were found; the only thing left was recruitnt. The plan had been delayed due to the Territory War, but now, with the conflict’s end, it was high ti to proceed.
The current four departnts were not quite suitable to manage this, so she had to add an Education Managent Office and corresponding staff, thereby completing the organizational structure.
As for recruitnt, an advanced notice would also be issued to reassure the parents who ca for the sake of the school and let them know that the promises made by Hope Village were genuine.
Then there was Bayer’s suggestion—special entertainnt venues aid at Nobles and major rchants to encourage them to spend and stay in Hope Village. Without spare building slots in the territory or corresponding architectural drawings, she would have to build them herself.
Building them herself allowed for creative freedom.
Fortunately, the construction team had recently completed the factory and could spare so workers to start building, which should not take too much ti. As for the remaining builders, they could work on roads, constructing the route from Hope Village to Djibouti Village.
It seed likely that Djibouti Village had already started their part, so they couldn’t afford to fall behind.
Both tasks were delegated to Tures and Bi Jiamu; Tures had the technical expertise and Bi Jiamu the creativity. They managed the factory construction well together, so she believed they would cooperate just as efficiently on new buildings.
Road construction brought up the need for cent production. The last catch of Shell had been almost entirely used up for building the walls, and the remaining few had already been processed into cent, not enough for paving roads. Therefore, securing more Listone was urgent.
So, it was necessary to send Soldiers to mine with Mills and Denglop, as only Soldiers could ensure the goblin’s safety outside.
Speaking of Soldiers, Zhou Bai’s gaze turned back to the barracks.
Initially, the forces in the barracks had only consisted of eight Soldier types. Although positions had been filled from the start and many personnel had crafted the required weapons Equipnt through soldier packages, in reality, the composition remained primarily infantry, Shield Soldiers, and Archers due to nurical limitations.
But now that the territory had advanced to a Level 3 village, the number of Soldiers continued to increase, especially after the Territory War and the Beast Tide, with a large amount of Contribution Value rewards being distributed. These rewards led to the developnt of a large number of Professionals with Contribution levels above 500. So of them accompanied rcenaries in freelance activities, but many joined the barracks directly.
Among these, there were many Professionals who had co from outside—while Blue Star residents preferred freedom, they favoured power, and thus were keener on joining the barracks as Soldiers. For instance, the eligible Beastman almost all enlisted as Soldiers.
As a result, the number of Soldiers in the territory swiftly escalated from a few hundred to over a thousand. The rapid expansion in numbers allowed for the formation of more distinct military units.
However, this growth also presented a new problem—the number of troops under the command of the small-team captains had suddenly expanded to over a hundred. Although control was still manageable, leading such numbers proved inconvenient.
More importantly, the troop numbers were inevitably going to increase, with more reinforcents on the way. It was better to establish clear standards sooner rather than later.
Considering this, Zhou Bai imdiately opened the Contribution managent panel and started adding positions.
Soldier: 500 Contribution.
Sergeant: 1000 Contribution, commanding 10 Soldiers.
Junior Officer: 2000 Contribution, commanding 10 Sergeants (100 people) (covering 8 Soldier types).
Captain: 5000 Contribution, commanding 10 Junior Officers (1000 people).
General: 10000 Contribution, commanding 10 Captains (10000 people).
Marshal: 50000 Contribution, commanding the entire army.
Beyond the Soldier role, each position was divided into three ranks—low, dium, and high, based on the progression of Contribution levels. The positions were awarded on a first-co, first-served basis, which ant as long as the army’s numbers didn’t scale up significantly, there would be no new openings even if Contribution levels were t.
Then there was the hospital. Daniel had submitted through Bayer a proposal for large-scale production of Potions—planning to establish a potion factory. A nearby factory to the hospital was conveniently designated for this project, and they had to continue hiring Professional Doctors; this could be done directly through the Task Center with favorable conditions.
Last on the list was the Prison. The task of maintaining order was previously entrusted to Soldiers, but realistically, functions were separate. Besides preserving order, there had to be soone to judge and sentence cris. Such personnel would be selected from individuals who had previously helped establish territory rules, supplented by a Security Managent Office.
Looking through all the tasks, Zhou Bai felt her territory was now preliminarily embracing the five aspects of politics, economy, culture, military, and social structure.
In ti, all that was necessary would be to build upon these five foundations.
After setting her plans, Zhou Bai pushed ahead to activate the operations and to publish the job listings without delay.
Beyond these actions, she also employed the task system to distribute various tasks to different departnts and personnel—herself included.
With this, there was no need for her to give directions face-to-face; the entire territory could run smoothly according to each departnt’s established procedures.
True to form, after wrapping everything up and stepping out of her office, Zhou Bai saw that the offices of different departnts had imdiately beco bustling with activity.
Comrcial Managent Office.
"Let’s go check out the market and ascertain the number of stalls."
"Bring paper and a pen to sketch."
"Also, bring the forms and assign a number to each stall."
"At the sa ti, issue a call for external rchants to register their interest."
"..."
*
Human Resources Office.
"We’ve suddenly added a lot of positions, we need to quickly determine the content of the examinations."
"For the newly established Security Managent Office, go find the original responsible Captain Heidi! Ask her to help with the transition for now, as she commands respect. Once we find suitable staff mbers, let them start working. After a while, let them elect their own acting officials."
"We also need to recruit for the Education Managent Office, we need to find soone with experience in education work."
"Let’s start with the recruitnts that don’t require examinations! For the construction team, let Tures and Bi Jiamu take charge themselves, get in touch with them."
"..."
Finance Managent Office.
"Hurry up and coordinate with the other departnts, be ready to register the new staff list at any ti, then prepare the budget."
"I’ll go talk to the Comrcial Managent Office."
"I’ll go talk to the Human Resources Office."
"I’ll go talk to the Military Managent Office."
"..."
Watching this scene, Zhou Bai felt extrely satisfied inside.
With more tool n in the territory, her role as the Lord had indeed beco a lot easier than before.
Indeed, many hands make light work!
Only the Military Managent Office was still busy, with Bayer and other staff reviewing the new exchange system.
Clearly, his workload was also quite heavy, involving many people, and it couldn’t be handled just with paperwork.
However, implenting this way, the soldiers’ team cohesion would be stronger, and the overall strength would also be enhanced.
Not only the departnt he managed now, but the other asures being implented would benefit Hope Village.
The consideration was truly comprehensive and well-suited to the current pace of developnt of Hope Village.
The Lord is really amazing!
Bayer couldn’t help but praise in his mind.
Because he knew that with such developnt, the strength of Hope Village would only grow stronger.
Thinking this, Bayer seed to sense sothing and looked up, only to see Zhou Bai watching them with satisfaction, giving off a vibe of "no worries, no burdens".
Bayer was silent for a mont.
He really started to wonder, had their Lord delegated all the tasks?
He understood the Lord, she was diligent but would take shortcuts when possible, especially regarding the affairs of the territory that didn’t require her to handle.
Of course, on regular days, he was willing to indulge her in this.
But the military camp was sothing he couldn’t manage alone, nor was it appropriate.
Thinking, Bayer reminded, "village chief, what tasks are you responsible for? Have you also taken on the military camp task?"
Zhou Bai was asked, paused for a mont, she seed to have chosen the school affairs as she had been in charge of them before, and only she could persuade those teachers, and she could also hold authority over them going forward.
As for the military camp issue, she thought with Bayer and her father around, they should be able to handle it.
But now it seed, she indeed needed to establish her authority, even if it was just for show, unless she chose to reveal her Lord Identity.
Thinking, Zhou Bai nodded, "Yes, I’ve also taken on the military camp task, and additionally, I’m responsible for the relevant work of the school."
"Let’s do it together!" Bayer declared conclusively.
Afterward, the two of them went downstairs.
And by the ti they ca down, the grand hall of the Lord Mansion had already been taken over by a dense crowd of people.
Because the residents of the territory had been stirred up by the series of bold moves made by Zhou Bai.
