Belder stepped forward and placed the half-meter-high piece on the floor.

"Lord, this is a recent task, and my time is limited."

The meaning is very obvious, I Grand Steward came to protest against me.

Looking at such a high-level case, if I were to handle it myself, it would take at least three or four days.

"No, there are so many, we must not die from exhaustion."

Velin shook his head subconsciously, and Belder suggested. "I think one person has limited energy to manage Star Prayer Town, so do you have a suitable person to help you handle the tasks?"

"Raimondo's subordinate Duke is diligent, conscientious, and strictly follows rules and regulations. He is a very good candidate." Belder raised the corners of his mouth slightly and answered.

"Duke, no, I still have use for him, so I can't give it to you." Velin said, shaking his head.

Belder pondered for a while and then said, "Then Iden, he has been with me for a year and is very good at handling government affairs."

"Well, I can't promise you this either." Velin spread his hands and refused again.

As Standing Army Third Battalion Deputy Battalion Commander, I set a benchmark for ordinary soldiers and cannot be transferred away easily.

"Then Silier, I was Knight Squire before."

Hearing this name, Velin quickly found relevant information in his mind.

Silier, Mid-Bronze Tier Knight, are twenty-four years old and were born as serfs. Two years ago they were transferred to serve as patrol officers under Orlando. They are good young men.

"Okay, it's just him. Do you have any other requirements?" Velin looked at Belder and asked with a smile.

"I hope to establish a small town in the north and south of Star Prayer Town, upgrade Star Prayer Town to Star Prayer City, and take on the responsibility for regional government affairs."

"So far, there are more than 10,000 people under the jurisdiction of Star Prayer Town. In addition to the more than 10,000 people in Star Prayer Town, there are as many as forty-seven villages under it. Countless tasks are sent to Star Prayer Town every day, and it is difficult to handle them in the first time."

Are there so many villages?

At that time, Velin only focused on the development and important affairs of the country. He really didn't know that there were so many villages in the area of 1,300 square meters under the jurisdiction of Star Prayer Town.

"According to your wishes, Star Prayer Town will be upgraded to Star Prayer City, and a small town will be established in the north and south as subordinate administrative units of Star Prayer City."

"As for the regional planning, I'll leave this to you. Just leave it to me to sign when the time comes."

Before Belder could react, Velin had already pushed him out of his study room and closed the door.

Standing at the door of the study, Belder looked a little dull.

He came here to ask for a reduction in his burden, but somehow he got a lot more things to do.

"Forget it, it should be easy after this busy month." Belder patted his face to wake himself up and muttered to himself.

He sat down on the chair and Velin was in a good mood.

"No, why are these things still here?"

The items placed on the floor made Velin suddenly react and hurried to the window, only to find that Belder had already left.

"Oh, let's take a look first."

Sitting on the ground without any image, Velin held a pen in his right hand and a task in his left hand, and began to review.

There are only a dozen or so real documents, and the rest are all letters of visit from nobles.

"Of course, my dear Grand Steward will not cheat me."

Velin touched his chin and began to think about how to deal with these nobles.

Through these invitations, coupled with the information Kyle reported to him a few days ago, Velin easily knew that these little nobles came for the academy he founded.

His intention was just to improve his military strength. The occurrence of this situation gave him some plans in mind.

There is no difference between hundreds of schools and thousands of schools for Velin. Anyway, it is just to expand Knight Academy and Mage Academy.

In addition to this, tuition fees can also be collected through the college model.

Later, Velin asked someone to bring Kyle over.

After a while, Kyle entered Velin's study, leaned down to salute, and said respectfully, "Lord."

Velin raised his head and said, "Knight Academy has two hundred places, Mage Academy has fifty places, and a total of two hundred and fifty places are being recruited from outside. The teachers in the college are all experienced teaching masters. After four years of study, we need to recommend a talent to Qixing Territory in order to get a place."

"By the way, you still need to pay tuition, which is one thousand Gold Coin per person per year."

"Spread this news and let the nobles who come here know it."

"Lord, you mean to let the territory of the small nobles become our talent pool." Kyle suddenly reacted and said.

"That's it." Velin responded with a smile, "They have no resources to cultivate civilian geniuses who have been buried, so why don't they give them to me."

"My subordinate is confused."

In the afternoon of that day, the news about the recruitment of the Knight Academy and Mage Academy was known to most of the small nobles.

In a Inn, several nobles in plain clothes gathered in the room.

"Father, are you saying this news is true or false?" A young nobleman was a little worried and asked a middle-aged nobleman with neatly trimmed hair and a clean face.

"It should be true." The middle-aged noble said in a deep voice.

He spent one Gold Coin to learn this from the mouth of "Castle Guard", and it is absolutely not false.

"Second Uncle, what should we do next?" A young man asked his elders, his immature face showing worry.

The middle-aged noble gritted his teeth and said, "Elvin, you are now setting off to return to the territory. Tell your uncle to look for talented civilian youths, or even collateral children. No matter what, we must obtain a quota."

"Yes, father."

The noble young man bowed to salute, then left Inn, taking three followers with him and riding ordinary horses, and quickly left the place.

Almost all the lower-level nobles reacted immediately, spending money to buy first-hand information, and then sent their children back to their territories to recruit civilian geniuses or talented collateral children, just to get a place in school.

In the afternoon of the first day, a guard came to Kyle and handed him a money bag.

"Sir, there are thirteen Gold Coin in total. Please accept it."

"Yeah."

Kyle took a brief look at it, and then took out three Gold Coin coins and gave them to the guards.

"For your reward."

"Thank you, sir." The guard excitedly took the three Gold Coin with a very excited expression.

Excluding two acres of tax land, his military salary is only three Silver Coin per month. Even if he divides it with the other four people in his team, he still has one Silver Coin, which is worth two months of military salary.

Kyle nodded, waved him down, turned to the castle warehouse, and asked the management staff to register this Gold Coin into the warehouse.
