Because Tia is good at negotiation, she is currently serving as the "Secretary General" of the Business Alliance, and is doing some coordination work as Dick's spokesperson. At first, local merchants thought that this young girl was the Governor's mistress because she was young and beautiful, and did not take her seriously, but after several contacts, they were all impressed by her ability. She could mediate and reconcile conflicts, and she could always see through people's tricks. Kasumi from the Ninja Team serves as a bodyguard, responsible for protecting Tia, whose combat power is not very strong, and will not show up unless there is danger. Ayane and Momiji were sent out by Dick to investigate the local banditry, mainly to re-survey the local map and mark the nests of the bandits and threatening monsters. Dick is temporarily unable to deal with them this year, so he will wait until next spring to deal with them. The two maids are currently training the newly recruited servants in the castle. All the old servants from David's time have been dismissed by him. Being overly cautious by nature, he really doesn't trust these guys. And to be honest, the business capabilities of the people under David are really not that good. As for the Black and White Guns, Dick gave them thirty cavalrymen and asked them to go and support the supply team. Dick was always worried about accidents, so he sent out the two strongest fighters around him and repeatedly reminded them to protect the safety of the supplies. As a result, because Dick kept muttering too much, Hei Qiangdai became a little impatient. He used his height advantage to hug Dick and blocked his mouth with an irresistible attack of facial cleanser. This scene, which shocked Bai Qiang who was standing by, was so shocking that she felt shocked for the whole year!
"How, how can you be so disrespectful to the Master!?" "Huh? Isn't my respect (pointing to his chest) big enough?" Bai Qiangdai:! ? In short, after sending out all the reliable and seemingly reliable people, Dick looked at Joel, the only one left in the study. He always felt that something was missing, and after pondering for a moment, he suddenly realized something. "Fuck! Where is that daredevil Lily?" 018. I need treatment What’s scarier than a naughty kid… is a naughty kid that’s out of sight! Lily is not a stupid girl with a poor brain. On the contrary, her IQ is not low at all. Her occasional flash of inspiration can lead to many eye-opening and cool moves. However, the problem is that her high IQ is not always online. Compared with the occasional flash of inspiration, her brain is more often off the line most of the time. What's even more frightening is that Lily is a poison expert (self-proclaimed). Relying on her special "poison-immune" physique, after crossing into the other world, she often uses materials from this world to conduct experiments, and from time to time, she causes some pretty dramatic experimental accidents. Because of this, when Lily and Tia were first summoned, Dick did not dare to hide them in the Duke's Mansion at all, but instead found a house in the suburbs of the imperial capital to "hide his beauties". Now that Dick has brought his entire team to Laguge, he intends to let some girls with management skills gradually come to the fore, but this does not include Lily, who often gets into trouble. So when Dick found out that Lily was missing, he immediately took Joel out to look for her! Then they saw Lily returning with a sack at the castle gate. "Master, I found a lot... Ouch!" Lily was hit on the head by Dick's telekinesis. In his eyes, she was just a fool who needed to be punished. As a spy, although Lily is very good at using poison, her own combat ability is not strong, basically at the level of an ordinary person, so Dick gave her the identity of an "alchemist". With such a chubby little body, he dared to go into the dangerous forest without any guards, and he was not taken away by any ferocious beast. It was purely because of good luck. Looking at her silly face, as if she didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at all, Dick's concern and the desire to beat her up subtly overlapped.
Carrying the harvest collected from the mountains, Lily ran to the exclusive laboratory arranged for her by Dick. There was an exaggerated warning sign hanging at the door, prohibiting the staff in the castle from approaching at will. A few days later, Hongye and Ayane, who had been out on reconnaissance, returned, and they had gained a lot from their trip. The task Dick gave them was to investigate banditry and monster nests within 30 kilometers of the castle. As a result, they found more than a dozen thieves' dens of varying sizes, and eight monster nests of different types. It is worth mentioning that some bandit dens are located near residential villages, which are very close to each other, making people doubt the relationship between them. In addition, they also found some "wild man villages" hidden in the mountains and forests, which are hidden villages that hide because they can't bear the harsh rule of the empire. During this time, Ayane wanted to sneak into the village to check, but was stopped by Hongye in time. Because Dick's order was to only conduct reconnaissance and not allow any contact with the target, and those who violated it would be punished by "house law". Looking at the red dots on the map that almost surrounded the castle, Dick frowned, but he really didn't have the time to deal with them at the moment. "Thank you for your hard work. You have completed the task very well. Go and have a good rest." "It is our duty as ninjas to share the young master's worries." "Since you are going to share my worries, you should rest well. If you tire yourself out, I, as the young master, will be worried about you." After receiving some compliments from Dick, Hongye and Ayane left first. Rita was outside the door taking them to take a shower and change clothes, and then to the hot spring bath for a good bath. Although the finances of the Governor's Office are indeed a bit tight at the moment, Dick is frugal in his own consumption and will not reduce the treatment of his girls. Besides, Hongye and Ayane have really made great contributions, and just a verbal reward is far from enough, so bonuses and vacations have also been arranged. The only requirement is that the ninja team must remain secretive and can go out shopping, but they must disguise themselves before going out. Apart from this restriction, there are no other requirements. Ayane knew that the reward from the young master was a way for the superior to control the subordinates, but she had a good impression of Dick, at least much better than her hometown ninja village. And just as Miss Hongye said, the young master was not only cute, but also kind-hearted. His malicious side was only directed at bad people, so even after understanding Dick's ambitions, Hongye was willing to assist him. On the way to the bathroom, Ayane keenly discovered that Sister Hongye really kept talking about the young master. When she mentioned that person, her eyes were always filled with a different look, and she couldn't help but joked. "Sister Hongye, you really like the young master." "Hey! Like the young master or something, a ninja like me…." "If Miss Hongye feels inferior because she is a ninja, then I don't think that's necessary. The master actually likes female ninjas, especially plump older sisters like Miss Hongye. He likes them so much that he can't let go!" Rita, who was walking in front, smiled without turning her head, and especially emphasized the pronunciation of the two words "voluptuous figure" and "can't let go". Hongye subconsciously lowered her head to take a look, and her face turned red. Ayane curled her lips and muttered something under her breath. "He's really a little pervert!" On the other side, after telling Hongye and Ayane to have a good rest, Dick went out on horseback to inspect the road construction site. Although the weather is already a bit cold at this time, and a light snow last night covered the mountains and woods with a layer of silver-white gauze, the construction site is still crowded with people, and it is a scene of bustling activity. Dick recruited 5,000 road construction workers in less than two days. Many of them were former miners who had just come out of the mining area. They thought they were doing nothing at home anyway, so they came out to do some division of labor and earn some money. Dick divided the 5,000 workers into 100 construction teams, each with a soldier from his private army as foreman. But Dick warned these soldiers in advance that their mission was to supervise and that they were allowed to reprimand those who deliberately cheated, but they were absolutely not allowed to hit anyone. Each construction team works in sections at the same time and has engineering targets that must be achieved every day, otherwise they will not receive full compensation. However, the three teams with the most outstanding daily engineering progress will be selected as excellent worker groups, and the reward is an additional half-day pay for the entire team. In addition, if the project can be completed ahead of schedule while ensuring quality and quantity, everyone can still get the equivalent of thirty days' compensation, which is thirty kilograms of food.
Then Dick saw that these "dirty mud legs" who were lazy, stupid and needed insults and whips to make them work hard in the eyes of many noble masters, were like squid tentacles on a hot iron plate. They rolled up! Dick, who had been a corporate slave in his previous life, knows very well that what young people hate is never the 996 work schedule, but the stupid bosses who make high-sounding promises to you to work hard but don’t raise your salary in order to trick you into working more. As long as you can pay them enough, young people will be so hardworking and persevering that you will be scared! Of course! The technical difficulty of Dick's road construction is not very high. It mainly involves leveling the road surface, compacting the bottom layer to make it hard, paving the surface with crushed gravel from the mining area, and digging drainage ditches on both sides of the road to prevent water accumulation on the road. However, after this road is repaired, it will probably not be long before it snows. I just hope the snowfall will not cause any damage to the surface. Dick consulted local elders and based on past experience, he concluded that this year would be an extremely cold winter, or a particularly cold winter, which happens every ten years or so north of the mountains. Dick thought to himself that he was extremely lucky as he was given a big job right after taking office. Laguge doesn’t want to keep idle people, right? After inspecting the construction site, Dick estimated that with the current enthusiasm, as long as the weather was good and there were no unexpected situations, the repairs would be completed in about 20 days. It was almost the same as Dick estimated. The official road was repaired in 21 days, and the black and white gunman who was sent out to pick up people also led the material transport team from the Marquis of Uren and a group of dwarf engineers to Laguge smoothly. Bai Qiangdai reported that they encountered two waves of bandits on their way back. One group had a large number of people and tried to rob in broad daylight, while the other group had a relatively small number of people and launched a night attack. However, they were easily repelled by their troops and the heads of the leaders of both groups of bandits were brought back. The captain of the Uren family transport team also took the initiative to step forward and expressed his gratitude to Dick for sending people to pick them up. However, Dick noticed that this guy had a subtle look on his face, as if he was feeling guilty, especially when being stared at by Black Gun with a half-smile, he would turn his head away awkwardly. Later, Dick learned from Hei Qiangdai that when the "transport captain" sent by the Uren family met up with Hei Qiangdai's team halfway, he saw that both of them were female knights and both were very beautiful, so he couldn't help but approach them in a frivolous tone to chat with them. As a result, Bai Qiangdai ignored him at all, which made the other party feel embarrassed, so she changed her attitude and contemptuously ridiculed the female knights for being fancy. Hei Qiangdai didn't tolerate his foul mouth at all. He challenged him to a duel on the spot and then beat him to the ground with his bare hands. There were two more bandit attacks later, and Hei Bai Qiang Dai killed everyone in sight, winning the respect of everyone with his strength... including the heads of the enemies. At this time, the Foul-Mouthed Knight finally did something that was consistent with his knighthood. He apologized to the Black and White Gun Dai in public, highlighting his good attitude of admitting his mistakes. But this was at most a harmless episode. What was really nonsensical was the two hitchhikers in the team. One was a former servant of a Saxon family, who was sent to a big city in the south to invite a priest. He was a miserable and unlucky guy. The other was a junior priest of the Guangyao Church, who was invited to treat Hansen who had fallen to the ground and was seriously injured. He was a complete bastard. It was not until they arrived at Laguge that they found out that the Saxon family had been ransacked and the entire family had been wiped out, with the eldest young master still hanging on the shelf! The servants were dumbfounded, and the priest looked bewildered. "Damn it! Did I come here for nothing?" "If you don't want to leave, you can stay here for the winter. I can provide you with food and lodging." Faced with the olive branch thrown by the local governor, the priest did not hesitate for a second and followed the Uren family's transport team back. Are you kidding me? Spending the winter in Lagoge? Am I dying?
Looking at the priest's fleeing back, Dick couldn't help but sigh. He was still thinking of tricking the priest into staying to provide an extra layer of protection against the cold this winter. Of course! Dick can also choose to spend money and hire him with shiny gold coins. But Dick thought about it and gave up the idea. Although the priest's healing skills are powerful, there is a limit on the number of times they can be used per day. With only one priest like him, it is useless to rely on his two or three divine skills slots per day. "It seems... what we need more now is a doctor!" In the castle's study, at a meeting attended only by core internal staff, Dick expressed his views on the type of talent needed for the next summoning. Dick's recruitment tendencies were different in different periods. In the early years, he was hiding in the imperial capital and needed intelligence support, so he recruited spies and ninjas, as well as maids to serve as good helpers. Later, when Lagug became governor, Dick recruited assassins and knights to strengthen his fighting power. Now that they have successfully established themselves in Laguge, they have also resolved their opponents on a physical level and won the hearts of the people in the territory. The next step is to let the territory enter the development stage, which will require technical and management talents. But considering that winter is about to come locally, the territory will be in a hibernation-like state for more than four months, and most people can only hide at home with nothing to do. At this time, there is no need to rush to recruit technical and management talents into the team. In contrast, since this year is likely to be the so-called "super cold winter", in order to deal with cold syndrome and other diseases, they need doctors more... reliable doctors! It just so happened that during the previous house search, although most of the gold coins were spent, some high-quality magic stones were all kept. This thing can be used by Dick in his own magic practice, and it is also one of the necessary materials for the summoning circle. You know, theoretically there is no upper limit to the number of summons a single person can have. The real upper limit is personal financial resources. What's more, top-grade materials like advanced magic stones are sometimes not available even if you have money, which makes them even more precious. None of the teammates present objected to Dick's idea of recruiting a doctor. In fact, they really needed a team doctor now. You have to know that they had won all the games before, and it was easy for them to defeat a few landlord bullies without even messing up their hair. But what happens next? Encountering large-scale military conflicts, encountering Saint-level or even Sub-God-level masters... How can a healthy team be without a nanny? Dick even felt that recruiting only one group of two doctors would not be enough, and he would have to recruit one or two more groups of medical personnel in the future to directly set up a "trauma team"! "In that case, it's decided. The sixth group to be recruited will be doctors!" 019. The Doctor Sister is Here The imperial capital, the Duke of Best's Palace, is a prosperous metropolis located in the heart of the country. The climate at this time is just at the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is a good time for clear skies and abundant harvests. Duke Rune was in his study, elegantly sipping black tea while reading the recent report sent back by his youngest son from the northern border. The eldest son, Reinhard, sat stiffly opposite the old Duke, also holding a document in his hand, but he had already finished reading it and was now secretly observing his father's reaction. After a long while, the Duke spoke lightly.
