In this regard, Manideh also consciously took on the task of welcoming the two new urban areas in the east and west.
As what was said, this was his responsibility and obligation, and Manid also had his own unique understanding of how to build a new urban area.
At this time, Manide got the news and came to the noble mansion from the administrative residence next to it. Or it was originally the same building, just a slight detour to get here.
"Lord Shen Mu, according to my calculations, we can build the new city area larger, and in the beginning, we only need to build city walls and gates. Military defense buildings such as arrow towers and watchtowers are not needed for now. After all, the defense pressure we face now is not that great." Manide reported.
"Well, you can do whatever you want. I only care about how much faith power and dinars it will cost." Shen Mu asked the key point directly.
"In building the city walls and gates, what I mean is to extend them directly outward along the north and south walls. Then, for the area of the new east and west city areas, I think it will be based directly on the central city area." Manid reported.
"If the area of the East and West urban areas is based on the central urban area, then wouldn't that be equivalent to a new central urban area? You should know that our central urban area is about square kilometers, or about 700 acres of land. If the two new urban areas of the East and West are both square kilometers, then the total area of our Dehrim will reach square kilometers, which is nearly 2000 acres of land."
Shen Mu looked stunned.
You know, the current cultivated land in Dehrim is only about 4500 acres.
Now, if we add these two new urban areas in the east and west, the land area will be directly increased by 4000 acres.
It can be said that the overall area of Dehrim was doubled on the spot!
That's why Shen Mu was so surprised. After all, after doubling its size, the area of his main urban area of Dehrim was equivalent to the total area before, which was already quite huge.
"Master Shen Mu, there is no other way. After all, we still need to develop. If we don't reserve some stock in advance, then when our Dehrim develops faster and accepts more and more Blue Star humans, and even more and more soldiers and civilians from the Mount and Blade world, we will definitely be very crowded in the end. Instead of trying to find a solution at that time, it is better to reserve some stock in advance. In this way, when we develop more people, we will have enough space to accommodate them."
Manideh was very serious and frank at this time: "And according to my idea, when we develop to a certain extent, we can open up new space on both sides of the mountain where the Rhodok Castle area in the north of Dehrim is located, and completely surround the Rhodok Castle inside. While bringing new space, it can also make the castle's defense more three-dimensional."
"Is that so?" Shen Mu also thought of the plan that Manide mentioned. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said with great trust in Manide: "I trust you to do the work, so the construction of the town will be handed over to you, Manide, don't let me down."
"I understand, respected Lord Shen Mu." Manide bowed to Shen Mu very seriously.
Then, based on Manide’s suggestion, the construction of the East and West New Urban Districts entered the demonstration and drawing stage.
As long as the preliminary plan of the east and west urban areas is completely drawn out on parchment, Shen Mu will approve it and agree to start construction directly.
As a young man with a business background, Manide had a lot of experience in how to build a new town area. After all, although he had no experience in building towns or castles as a businessman, he had visited so many towns and castles. He certainly knew what kind of town construction would have better effects.
This is one of the advantages of being a businessman. They are knowledgeable and know a little bit about everything. Although they cannot be said to be absolutely specialized, it is enough for them to be able to seriously summarize the strengths of each company.
Looking at Manide's back as he saluted and left, Shen Mu was quite satisfied with him.
That is why he chose Manid as his chief steward.
He is very reliable.
He has the youthful vigor, and because of his previous bankruptcy he knows the severity of failure, so he has a better sense of vigilance and responsibility.
Now that he is being used by Shen Mu, these two advantages are fully magnified. At least for Shen Mu, he really likes Manide's seriousness, responsibility and ability to coordinate the overall situation.
"Master Shen Mu, the prophecy mage Zhang Bo has brought 20 Blue Star humans here again and wants to ask to see you." Just as Manide left and Shen Mu was very happy, a Holy Tree Knight walked in quickly and saluted Shen Mu respectfully before reporting: "According to Zhang Bo, he wants to ask you to confer the title again."
"Oh, I see. Let them in." Shen Mu was not surprised by this. After all, every day he would appoint 20 Blue Star humans as spirit world commanders. Of course, they were actually centurions in the Mount and Blade world.
At this time today, it is indeed time for Zhang Bo to bring those 20 humans from Blue Star to request his enthronement.
As for why Zhang Bo brought those humans from Blue Star here for the enthronement, Shen Mu had already understood from others that it was Zhang Caidong who agreed to let Zhang Bo bring those humans from Blue Star here for the enthronement.
The relationship between the two of them has always been good.
They seem to be from the same hometown.
Of course Shen Mu didn't care about this. After all, whoever brought the Blue Star humans here to be conferred the title, he would send civilian units to follow these Blue Star humans, let these Blue Star humans lead them to level up and gain more power of faith, which was more important.
As for the detailed arrangements, he didn't care at all and just let these Blue Star humans arrange it themselves. This was the benefit of decentralization, which allowed those Blue Star humans to gain power in their own hands. Then they would be loyal to Shen Mu, and would actively maintain Shen Mu's rule, and then interest circles would be formed around Shen Mu.
For example, now, since I have established contact with those middle-level managers, those middle-level managers have become quite keen to meet with me directly, as they have had some dirty dealings with me and the senior managers. This is a trend of flat management.
It is also equivalent to Shen Mu forming a circle of interests by using his own power.
At the beginning, I didn't think too much about it. I just wanted to see how many middle-level managers there were, so that I could count them and enthrone them, and then turn them into commanders of the spiritual world.
As for things like differentiating between senior managers and these middle-level managers, Shen Mu didn't even consider it.
The current situation was caused completely by accident.
"Lord Shen Mu, these humans have been brought in." Just after Shen Mu waved his hand to signal the Holy Tree Knight to bring in all the humans from Blue Star, the Holy Tree Knight soon came over with Zhang Bo and the others.
Led by Zhang Bo, followed by 20 middle-level managers with extremely excited expressions.
"Hello, generous and kind Lord Shen Mu." These middle-level managers came to Shen Mu and stood in the conference room. Without waiting for Zhang Bo to speak, they immediately put their hands on their chests and bowed their waists to salute, and shouted to Shen Mu respectfully. Zhang Bo was used to this behavior. He also bowed his head respectfully, put his hands on his chests and bowed his waist to salute, and said to Shen Mu: "Hello, respected Lord Shen Mu."
"Well, everyone stand up." Shen Mu nodded, stretched out his hand, and signaled Zhang Bo and these Blue Star humans to stand up.
These empty formalities are simply a formality.
He did not like this time-wasting etiquette, even though he knew that this etiquette itself represented a kind of hierarchical order.
"Master Shen Mu, these are today's 20 very qualified middle-level managers." Zhang Bo spoke first, bowing respectfully to Shen Mu and saying, "They are all very outstanding. They are the Blue Star humans I recognize and are willing to accept your generous gift. They are also some loyal people who are willing to devote all their strength to you and Dehrim."
"Yes, Lord Shen Mu, we are willing to give all our strength for you and Dehrim, and even our lives if necessary." These middle-level managers of the Blue Star humans spoke excitedly.
"Well, very good." Shen Mu just nodded, but he didn't care at all about what Zhang Bo and these middle-level managers said about being willing to sacrifice their lives.
How can something like life be sacrificed so casually?
I don't have any absolute beliefs, nor do I have any place that they absolutely like. I'm just at the highest point of power, and these people say some decent words about power in front of me.
What they believe in is power, not themselves, let alone their own ideas and beliefs.
Not to mention anything like faith.
At most, it was out of respect for Dehrim, and then when praying, because of the powerful strength displayed by Shen Mu now, he became a pan-believer, and the power of faith condensed by some spiritual fluctuations that followed.
Ultimately, these people only have faith in themselves because of their power, status and the comfortable life they currently enjoy.
Only then will you respect yourself.
If I lose these and cannot bring them a better life, then they will soon turn from general believers into pseudo-believers, and eventually become Blue Star humans without any faith.
Shen Mu knows these humans from Blue Star quite well.
Therefore, he did not have much to say about their words. He just looked at Zhang Bo, who was so respectful to him, and felt satisfied with the loyalty of this prophecy wizard.
Then he raised his hand, communicated with the system through his mind, and used the Land of Faith and dinar to directly complete the enthronement of these 20 Blue Star humans as centurions.
Giving them the template for Swadian recruits.
“This power is really strong.”
"Is this the legendary power that belongs to the rules of the spirit world?"
"I can feel the powerful force bestowed upon me by the rules of the spiritual world within my body."
"So this is the power possessed by the commander of the spirit world. It is so powerful."
These Blue Star humans who have completed the canonization of centurions all exclaimed with wide eyes, looking directly at each other, feeling the power bestowed by the rules of Mount and Blade, and were quite surprised.
However, in their opinion, this was not the power bestowed by the Mount and Blade rules, but the power bestowed by the Spirit World rules. Because they only knew the Spirit World rules, they had no idea about the Mount and Blade rules.
After all, Shen Mu is now consciously moving his Mount and Blade rules towards the rules of the spiritual world. After all, these humans on Blue Star don't understand what the Mount and Blade rules are and what the spiritual world rules are.
They only knew the rules of the spiritual world from the mouths of its followers. The rules were similar to those of the cold weapon era in the Middle Ages, with a legacy of magic and powerful professionals, and they were more keen on legion-style combat.
The Mount and Blade rules happen to meet these characteristics.
Therefore, mistaking the Mount and Blade rules for the rules of the spirit world is like looking at high-grade glass and diamonds for the Blue Star humans who have only been exposed to the rules of the spirit world for three years. It is impossible to identify them without professional identification methods. At least for ordinary people, it is impossible to see.
Of course, this is also a little trick that Shen Mu consciously used to hide the rules of Mount and Blade behind the rules of the spiritual world to avoid conflicts with the forces of the spiritual world.
"Okay, now that you have all completed the transformation, you can lead your followers to become stronger."
Shen Mu looked at these very excited middle-level managers at this time, and said lightly: "But you must remember that those human followers are your very important partners. If they suffer unnecessary casualties, I will decide whether to replenish you or whether you are qualified to continue to lead these human followers based on your performance. If you are not qualified, I will also deprive you of all qualifications to lead human followers. I hope you can understand."
"We understand, respected Lord Shen Mu, we will try our best to become stronger together with our human followers and partners." These middle-level managers immediately became serious and answered Shen Mu seriously.
It was as if he was taking an oath.
Seeing this scene, Shen Mu nodded with satisfaction. After all, this was the effect he wanted.
He didn't say much, but just waved his hand, indicating that the middle-level managers who had completed the enthronement of 10 captains and arranged for 10 Swadian civilians to follow them could go out.
These middle-level managers once again respectfully placed their hands on their chests and bowed to Shen Mu, then left the aristocratic mansion.
Then he looked at the Swadian civilians behind him and saw their faces becoming more and more excited. (End of this chapter)
