"Palling Trading Company was the first network I spread. Now that they have a firm foothold, it means we can continue to arrange new intelligence agencies and departments along these networks."

Roddy was very satisfied with Camilla's ideas and pointed to Nora and said: "I am going to establish the 'Elson CIA' to incorporate the original information collection work of Palling Trading into this department, and then train intelligence personnel who are loyal to me to specialize in intelligence collection and exploration activities, and the specific tasks will be carried out by operational members like her."

This is actually a copy of the "East Factory", "FBI" or "National Security Agency". Since Roddy became the Prime Minister of the Cabinet and was about to stand on the stage to develop the entire Iversa, he must have first-hand intelligence rights - if the leader becomes "blind"... you will know what the outcome of Charles II will be.

The political structure of this world is still very primitive, and overall, there has not been a truly comprehensive and systematic intelligence agency. Roddy has a clear understanding of this point, so he immediately planned to build an intelligence department that is loyal to him. Whether it is farming and developing, making a fortune in silence or starting a full-scale war, intelligence is always the top priority.

"But the staff in Elson City are not very enough now."

"Didn't I start to find talents long ago? There will be some things in the future. Now you will take the lead in establishing a department first, and I will tell you the direction and program. I remember that there should be a few candidates suitable for this job in Tifflin, but they didn't come?"

Roddy looked at Luther, who nodded embarrassedly: "There are always people who are unwilling to work..."

"It's okay, they will know what to do if they are hungry for a few days. Remember, in Elson City, there will never be a pie falling from the sky. If I don't work hard, I won't care if I starve to death. Do you understand?"

Luther nodded respectfully and Roddy turned to the question: "Add to the intelligence department, you need to sign an agreement. The salary is currently 60 silver coins per month. There will be subsidies for going out on the field in the future, and there will be rewards for completing special tasks, only more or less. If you agree, sign now and I will pay the first month's salary in advance."

Nora naturally nodded and agreed to this. She now knew how high Roddy's status was - the other party was not only the master of such a big city, but also had a powerful army... Even if Roddy didn't ask, she didn't feel that she had room to refuse - but when Roddy thought that Roddy had asked her specifically about her wishes, Nora felt that this feeling of being respected made her dizzy.

Roddy asked Luther to translate the agreement. Nora entered the intelligence department, which was directly a lifetime contract and also included a "disclosure agreement". However, behind so many boxes are preferential treatments that others cannot achieve - salary, benefits, vacations and housing. Nora doesn't understand what this means now, but it will probably not take long for her to know what kind of department she entered.

Even though this department is still in the theoretical stage, it has not even been included in an office space.

Then Roddy signaled Luther to take Nora back first. Before leaving, he did not forget to add: "By the way, all Tifflins have a Bolinga course to learn at night, and I will let you know the time and place. No one can be missing by then. Do you understand?"

"Please ensure that the task is completed, Lord City."

The door of the laboratory was closed, and Roddy sat back on the armchair. He found that Camilla looked at him in a daze, so he asked, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Camilla realized that she had been staring at Roddy just now, and turned her face embarrassedly: "I'm just curious... You said you were just a scout, but now it seems that your cognition and vision are much broader than those nobles. The whole nation opened classes to popularize text education, which is impossible for other nobles to do..."

Elson City has currently opened two schools, one is the "Elson Elementary School" for civilians' "basic education", which teaches writing and simple mathematics. The other is the "Elson Magic Academy", which is used to cultivate talented magicians.

The former is not only free, but also provides free dinner after each class - but only those who pass the classroom assessment can eat it. At the same time, notices were posted around the classroom, and those who write text in the job fair entered the newly established "City Hall" as clerks, and their salary was much higher than farming.

There are foods that can fill your stomach and find jobs with higher salaries, so there have been many people coming to the "Elson Elementary School". Although more than half of the people chose to give up after three classes for various reasons, in the end, a large number of people gradually learned the text and had basic mathematical knowledge.

"Because most nobles are not very good at brains, think about it, they monopolized the spread of knowledge, which resulted in a group of illiterate people in the territory. What else can illiterate people do besides farming?" Roddy said it briefly. Of course, the actual situation is not only that, but the feudal system and low productivity are the main problems facing him at present. He did not talk to Camilla about his views on the system, but emphasized: "It is foreseeable that Elson lacks the most in the future. One is a coolie like orcs, who will build our foundation for development, and the other is a talent with knowledge..."

"So what should I do next? I feel that if your idea is to be realized, I can't manage it alone." As the manager of the entire city, Camilla is now extremely curious about the changes Roddy brought to the city. She feels that Elson City will definitely become the core of the entire kingdom in the future, not only because it is the most dazzling civilizational legacy of the high elves, but because of Roddy's increasingly subversive ideas.

As smart as she is, she has already felt the tip of the iceberg of great influence from the current government decrees.

"Next... production will be resumed first after the war is over, and at the same time - do you remember the 'newspaper' I mentioned to you?"

*******

"Impossible? Moore, did you tell me this is impossible?"

Charles II almost slapped the table with a few letters in his hand.

Thanks to his study, this was his out-of-compliance performance that he had not been seen by other nobles. Charles II has always regarded himself as a cunning person, but when he heard Moore rejecting his proposal to launch a war against Everta, he finally couldn't help but say a few heavy words:

"Averta's troops were greatly reduced after being attacked by orcs. Now their main forces are gathered on the northwest side, and the eastern defense line is empty. Why can't we attack now? Muir, are you scared by orcs?"

"His Majesty…"
