When Aaron and Vereesa came out to greet the new administrative officer, Illucia had already got off the carriage and was standing at the door carefully carving Alliance New Covenant Stone Tablet, she was accompanied by a middle-aged woman in her thirties, but the woman looked respectful when facing Illucia, presumably she was a servant sent by her family to take care of her.
"Aaron, is she your administrative officer?" The moment Vereesa saw Illucia, he immediately became vigilant. This woman who seemed to be a political officer looked not much older than Aaron. Vereesa suspected that this woman came to be a political officer only secondarily, and actually had other purposes.
"I don't know either. The letter only said it was Barov Family." Aaron was also surprised. He thought Terenas would send Barov Family The patriarch of, Alexei, was sent, but what he didn't expect was the young woman who looked like Illucia: "Looking at the mark on the carriage, it should be her, or is there someone else on the carriage?"
Aaron said and glanced at the luxurious carriage parked at the door. Barov Family is indeed a wealthy family. Even now that it has been deprived of most of its territory, it can still use such an expensive carriage.
Not to mention other things, even the coachman who drove the coach looked very impressive. He was about forty years old and looked very capable. If it weren't for the fact that the coachman looked weathered and didn't look like he was born into a noble family, Aaron might have believed it if he said that this man was here to serve as a political officer for Aaron.
After noticing that Aaron came out, Illucia walked slowly towards Aaron, bowed to Aaron politely, and said respectfully, "You are the lord. Sir? I am Illucia, Illucia·Barov, and I came to Covenant City as a political officer under the order of His Majesty Terenas."
Seeing Illucia's very polite behavior, Aaron felt like his head was pounding. In the short half year since he came to Azeroth, he still wasn't very polite to these nobles. After Vereesa got used to it and barely followed the etiquette he had learned before, Aaron hurriedly introduced Illucia to Covenant City.
From the time Aaron laid the foundation for Covenant City and officially began to serve as the lord to the day Illucia arrived, Covenant City was only established in just a few days. Before that, this place had just experienced a war that lasted for several days, and the city was full of traces of battle.
Although the Paladin teaching team sent by Silvermoon City and Lordaeron will help clean up the ruins in the city after training, their combined manpower is less than 200 people. In just a few days, they have just cleaned up the road from the gate to the Hex Lord's Hall.
Walking with Illucia in Covenant City, Aaron was quite worried whether the other party would dislike the environment here. Although the other party accepted Terenas's fate, if the other party was determined not to stay here anymore, Aaron would have no place to hire a political officer to help him manage his territory.
Fortunately, Illucia seems to have been prepared for the situation here. Facing this territory that is in need of development, her mood is relatively stable. After Aaron placed her in the Hex Lord's Hall's temporarily renovated city lord's palace, this noble lady also said that she would come up with a plan to clean up the ruins and develop the territory within a few days.
Seeing Illucia getting into work so quickly, Aaron also breathed a sigh of relief. After these days of practice, he has discovered that he knows nothing about running a territory. Just how to receive taxes from those shrewd and cunning businessmen makes Aaron feel exhausted.
In addition, Aaron found that he really needed to help mediate the disputes between merchants. Fortunately, Paladin didn't make much trouble, otherwise Aaron wouldn't be able to do it even if he cut himself into three pieces.
It was precisely because of being so overwhelmed by these things that Aaron had no time to implement the plan he had previously thought of. Even Ya-Mei Trading Company's relocation plan was hindered.
Now that a professional has arrived, Aaron can free up his hands to implement his own plan.
However, it turns out that Aaron simply thought too much.
When Illucia saw the thick stack of plans that Illucia brought to him, Aaron even felt suffocated. However, his experience as a social worker before time travel allowed Aaron to quickly adjust his emotions and start to carefully read the plan, which even felt like a squeeze in his hand.
In this plan, Illucia listed in detail the problems that Covenant City had. Aaron had a vague understanding of these problems before, but they were not as detailed as those listed by Illucia.
From Illucia's point of view, Covenant City, as an independent territory, has no merit except for its large area. The internal terrain is rugged, it is only connected to the outside world by a small road, and it is not close to trade routes... These disadvantages have limited the development of Covenant City.
However, Illucia did not come here to be a critic. She also proposed specific solutions to these problems. The transportation problem cannot be solved in a short time. Therefore, according to Illucia's plan, the first step for Covenant City's development is to develop its own agriculture.
Although the terrain in this area is very bad, at least the climate here is very good, and there are streams from the nearby mountains. You only need to hire a group of farmers to cultivate it here, and at least achieving self-sufficiency is not a problem.
"Miss Barov, I have a question." When Aaron saw this, he gently pressed his temples, frowned and looked at the confident-looking administrative officer, and said, "Where should we hire farmers?"
"Lord, please teach Illucia. Regarding the farmers, I also have a plan. We can hire a group of people from Alterac... oh, the old Kingdom of Alterac territory."
According to Illucia's explanation, although Lordaeron has now officially taken over most of Alterac's land, Lordaeron has not yet been able to fully restore The order within Alterac, especially the Alterac Mountains area that was once directly under the royal family, has now almost become a paradise for thugs and criminals, and there are even Orcs and Ogre.
"I only need you to provide a certain amount of funds. I can ask my family to help recruit a group of people. If you don't have enough money, I can use my pocket money to help you advance."
Looking at Illucia's energetic look, Aaron thought for a moment. There is nothing wrong with this plan. It would be good to ensure the food security of his territory.
But before that, Aaron has another question, "It seems, Miss Illucia, that you are very enthusiastic about being a political officer?"
Illucia heard Aaron's question, bit his lip slightly, and said, "I just want to prove that I am fully qualified for the position of political officer, not... Well, Lord, if you have no objection to my plan, I will prepare to implement it."
"It's nothing, just finish what you said." Aaron scratched his head, but seeing Illucia's energetic look, he felt very relieved. As for the sentence that the other party didn't finish, since the other party didn't want to say it, he didn't ask, and he was busy himself.
