The journey of more than ten days made Victor feel a little tired, and what happened yesterday made him realize that he was not ready to be a lord.

The migration of more than 400 people is not just about keeping these civilians fed, clothed and protected from the threat of monsters. In addition to these most basic guarantees, these people will also have more needs, such as spouses, rights, etc.

status in the group, etc.

Nelson is an experienced mercenary leader. Along the way, not a single citizen of the territory died at the hands of monsters, which is enough to prove his ability. However, it is obvious that he is not good at managing these civilians.

A few militiamen, without restraint and a little bit of status advantage, quickly transformed into bullies who oppressed the weak. So, what changes will happen to the official members of War Bear?

Victor believes that the members of the War Bear Mercenary Group have not become as vicious as those militiamen, not because they are kind in nature, but because the mercenaries have not realized the change in their roles, and they still regard this as

This migration was regarded as a mercenary protection mission, and mercenary ethics were strictly observed.

But what happened this time will make some people realize that everything is different.

Speaking of which, Victor would also like to thank that wretched Mouss. If he hadn't made the matter public immediately, it is conceivable that Nelson would have silenced these people in private in order to protect his members, and Victor

Many people will be kept in the dark.

Nelson is a moral mercenary, but this does not mean that he is a kind person. In fact, a mercenary who licks blood on the edge of a knife has no chance of being kind anyway. If, once he starts using this kind of

If he handles the problem in a different way, then he will continue to prey on humans like a beast that tastes human flesh for the first time, and Victor will completely lose control of this group.

Thinking of this, Victor felt very heavy.

"You need a housekeeper!" the old scholar pointedly pointed out.

Regarding what happened yesterday, both Edwin, Bruce, and even Nicole and several other trainee knights were very indifferent. They didn't care about the coerced peasant woman or the killed Logan, and they didn't care.

What happened to the expelled militiamen.

This made Victor realize that the aristocracy and the civilian world in this world are separated, and what connects the two are the managers promoted by the aristocracy: housekeepers, mayors, sheriffs, village chiefs, etc. These people

They are the eyes, ears and minions of the aristocracy ruling the common people.

"How should I choose a butler?" Victor had to ask Master Edwin for advice.

In Victor's mind, most of them were memories about aristocratic etiquette and techniques on how to please women, but there was no strategy for becoming a qualified lord. These were all due to Marquise Sophia.

"Not just anyone can serve as the lord's steward. Not only does he need to be proficient in the affairs of the territory, he must also be proficient in noble etiquette. The most important thing is that he must be absolutely loyal to the lord. Before that, he must first

You need to be literate." Edwin gently blew away the heat rising from the pine nut tea in his hand and said to Victor.

Victor was very discouraged because he could not pick out a few people among his subjects who were literate.

"In fact, the vast majority of housekeepers from lord families have been trained since childhood. They are often blood descendants of the family. Only in this way can we ensure that they are absolutely loyal to the family, and their descendants will continue to serve the family. These people

He is also a candidate to serve as the village mayor, town mayor, sheriff, and tax collector of the nobles." Edwin saw Victor's discouraged look and smiled and made up for it.

Victor knew that what Edwin said was true. The Wimbledon family was a thousand-year-old noble, and their family history was older than the Kingdom of Cambis. When he came to Centaur Hills to serve as lord, Sophia sent a family housekeeper to him.

Efficiency. The butler was a blood descendant of the Wimbledon family. He took care of everything in an orderly manner along the way. However, when attacked by bandits, the butler was the first to be massacred.

Now it seems that this is most likely a way for the York family to take advantage of themselves, Victor thought to himself.

"It seems that I can only let it go for a while." Victor said helplessly.

"You should consider adopting Captain Nelson's sister as your personal maid. If she gives birth to your offspring in the future, that child will become a natural candidate for your family's housekeeper." Edwin said teasingly and formally.

Said to Victor.

Edwin's suggestion made Victor's heart beat. Nelson is the main force that Victor can rely on at present. If we can strengthen the connection with Nelson in this way, it is indeed a good choice, and Lilia

She is youthful, charming and pretty, with a vitality that is different from that of a noble woman, and she herself has a great liking for Victor.

In the next period of time, Nelson and his men will become an important force in maintaining Victor's dominance, and winning over Nelson becomes what Victor must do. This is probably what old scholars suggest.

The real reason why Victor took Lilia as his personal maid.

Victor knew that Nelson did not want Lilia to get too close to him because he was afraid that his only sister would not end up with a good home.

However, the personal maids of the nobles are the legal partners recognized by the nobles and have a higher status in the territory. Although the children they give birth to cannot inherit the nobles' surnames, they may awaken the blood of knights. Once these descendants are successfully promoted to knights, they

She will be recognized as a noble immediately. Therefore, becoming a personal maid of a noble is a common destination that common women long for.

Victor glanced at Nicole secretly and found that the female trainee knight had a natural look on her face.

"Although Captain Nelson does not have noble blood, he is a powerful and ferocious warrior and deserves Xiang Ying's respect."

Victor's silence made Knight Bruce think that Victor was dissing Lilia's identity and couldn't help but express his grievances for Nelson. After spending so many days together, this proud knight admired Nelson's abilities very much.

and strength.

Taking someone else's sister as his personal maid is actually a sign of respect for him! This is indeed the most evil aristocratic logic.

"This is indeed a way, but I need to ask Nelson and Lilia for their opinions first. I will respect their choices." The values ​​of modern society made Victor very hesitant, but he had to admit that this might be his choice.

the best choice.

"However, until there is no qualified manager, I will personally take charge of these internal affairs. Although this is unworthy of the nobility, it is my responsibility after all." Victor said loudly, and his confident and high-spirited posture made Nicole

The young lady's eyes lit up.

"Then what are you going to do?" Edwin touched his beard, he was very interested in Victor's thoughts.

"I plan to divide these people into six groups and let them elect their own group leaders. These group leaders will lead the members to complete the tasks assigned by me. If they encounter problems, the group leaders can report directly to me, and I will

Deal with it according to the situation." Victor replied.

"However, you can't guarantee their loyalty. Maybe these people will soon become like that Logan. They will join forces to deceive you and use your name to exploit those subordinates. Don't underestimate these people.

The cleverness and daring of low-class people, these people will have no bottom line once they commit evil!" The old scholar was not optimistic about Victor's method.

"You are right. For people without moral beliefs, absolute power will lead to absolute corruption. So I also plan to assign a deputy leader to each group. These deputy leaders cannot interfere with the work of the group leader, but

They will be able to report directly to me what they see and hear every ten days, and the position of deputy team leader will be held by adult citizens in turn."

Supervision and reporting are effective means of restricting rights. As a time traveler, Victor certainly understands this truth.

"Absolute power leads to absolute corruption!? Very insightful, I must admit, Victor, you surprised me!" Edwin said to Victor in amazement.

"Not a bad idea. But Victor, I think I have to remind you, don't forget to use the whip!"

Bruce Knight's sincere teachings left Victor speechless.

Just as Victor was exchanging opinions with everyone, cheers came from the team in front.

After nearly twenty days of trekking, they finally arrived at the new territory.

When Victor climbed up the hillside, he saw an endless ocean of purple. When he looked closely, he saw purple plants as tall as a person. The stems of these plants were straight, with no branches but a piece of purple growing out of the top.

There are purple leaves, they are next to each other, one by one, and connected in layers. A breeze passes by, and the purple leaves flutter like waves, which is spectacular.

Looking at the majestic purple sea and listening to the vibrant chirping of birds and insects, Victor has mixed feelings in his heart. He will bid farewell to his past self, whether it is the previous life with a bumpy fate or the little nobleman who was always surrounded by crises.
