Chapter 641 - The Work Never Stops

'Ping!'

"The time is now 10:00 A.M.

The meeting has now officially begun."

'Ping!'

The tiny bell was struck again, and everyone jumped into the matter like crazy.

Landon listened keenly to them because in truth, many of their worries were Also his worries too.

.

"Your majesty... Undoubtedly, this is a great gift for Baymard.

But, these gifts could also be seen as damaging if care is not taken." Said a tall burly man, whose words made everyone nod in agreement.

"I agree with Minister Gonovich from the Ministry of Innovation, Science and Industry.

Your majesty, since this territory is ours, we need to provide its people with basic needs like education, good running water, electricity and many more.

But as you've said many-a`-times, we mustn't allow our technology to get in the hands of wicked hungry power people.

As this could cause more harm than good for many ordinary folks outside our territories."

"He's right your majesty.

Even though we are convinced about Prince William's morals, some of his people... Particularly the nobles, could send their spies to steal or obtain technology within these new territories.

Take for example the textbooks that will need to be accessible to the children within these new regions.

Even if we build a proper school and library for these children, if we can't even protect the territory well, then wouldn't that be detrimental in the long run?

Your majesty, that's why I think that before we make any major changes, we first need to eradicate all bad in these areas... As well as build up a wall to prevent nobles and those from other empires from targeting these regions." Said Minister Devin, from the ministry of National Defence.

.

Landon listened to everyone's complaints and knew that they were right.

Even though it was a blessing that they had gained these new territories, it was also a curse too.

And if things weren't properly handled with care, then other empires might decide to start attacking them from there instead.

On top of that, these regions had bandits and gangs that bullied the villagers and collected all their crops season by season.

So ensuring their safety was definitely a must!

As for the new cities that they had acquired, in truth, 3 of those cities and a couple of villages put together would make up Baymard's current landmass.

And now with the addition of these new regions, roads, forest areas and even hill ranges... one could almost say that Baymard had tripled in size.

So with how big the territory was, they needed to first secure the people's safety before anything else.

Additionally, they needed to provide these people with a constant source of income and so on.

But this in itself wasn't a problem, as most of these territories had particular unique items or goods that were only grown in their territories.

And from the system's notification, a few of them had some caves that could be mined too.

Although the people outside Baymard generally thought that the things in those caves were trash, as they weren't gold, solver and whatnot.

But those in Baynard knew otherwise.

So hiring miners and even timber workers would make their economy go up and increase these people's earnings.

Again, before this was done, another wall and another military battle station had to be built along the borders.

Because unless these were built, Landon would never allow Baymard's technology or knowledge to reach these new territories.

After all, a slip-up from him and the system would kill him on the spot.

(-_-)

.

"Your majesty, as for the matter of entry into Baymard's overall territory, I propose that we follow the normal system within most empires.

For example, if one were to leave from one big city to the next within the same empire, they would still need to pay the entrance fee and be checked.

Likewise, I propose that we still have another Landport built by the new walls there.

This newly built Landport will strictly focus on allowing people into the empire of Baymard, while the Landport here will focus on letting people into the main City." One of the ministers said while stroking his chin thoughtfully.

Maynard was now an empire, so these new territories were on the borders of the empire.

So entrance into the empire would have to begin from there.

"Minister Gordon is right, your majesty.

And while we are at it, I also propose that the current region that we are in should be called the Capital.

So the Landport here will check those getting into the Capital.

While the other one gives entry into the empire as a whole."

"Your majesty!"

"Your majesty!"

"Your majesty!"

The meeting went on with everyone throwing in their worries in an organized manner.

here

And before they knew it, the meeting was soon coming to an end.

.

In truth, they felt like they should just go ahead and reschedule another meeting again.

Because they hadn't even expressed half of their ideas to his majesty.

Landon looked at them and smiled wryly as well.

In fact, he too knew how important this matter was since they wouldn't be able to move forward until they had listed down all their suggestions, checked the pros and cons of each and vote on each suggestion.

Because they had to tackle everything involving these new territories... Be it death rates, health, hunger, income, safety, and so on.

Even the new Landport that they suggested, would need to have an office that would allow those coming in to register for their Visas after they had successfully been accepted into Baymard.

So it would also need to have a photo studio in it as well.

And every day, the forms would be sent to the Capital for approval and manufacturing.

At that point, the visitors could choose whether to collect their visas in the Capital or at the Landport within the new territory.

Of course just like the current Landport, visitors would also be given temporal entry I.Ds until they git their Visas.

In short, they had to properly talk about these matters in detail, before they drew up contracts for the construction workers and all those involved in developing the newly acquired territories.

One thing that Landon was truly happy with, was the fact that he had built his hydro plants and main industries to deal with territorial expansion.

Back on earth, one should know that most provinces had just one main hydro company that provided to the entire province and whatnot.

And even with the addition of these new territories, Baymard wasn't as big as most provinces back on earth.

So they were good.

But even though it was okay, Landon still wanted to build more tanks within these industries... As well as some sub-industries along 2 major locations within the new territories.

Those sub-industries would focus on monitoring and ensuring that everything got supplied from the Main industries in the Capital to these new territories and vice versa.

So even the massive pipes in charge of carrying poop needed to be monitored as well.

Sigh... When Landon thought of all the work that these new territories brought, he couldn't help but shed some tears for the busy workers.

Well, it looked like they would have to hire more Baymardians again.

And in truth, he wouldn't feel bad if he also rescued some more slaves right about now.

.

'Ping!'

"It's now 12 Mid-Day.

Meeting Adjourned."

With that, Landon left the hall and headed straight for the Swimming Pools.

With the Aquarium under construction, of course, he had to properly train the newly hired Aquarists.
