Chapter 63

John continued to ask more questions to him, "What about George and Ron? Have they given any reports on the order which I gave them previously?"

"Currently both of them have faced difficulties in making precise parts of the blueprints you had given them, They are even contemplating on hiring Magician Blacksmiths from Imperial Capital but since it was one of the top-secret of our projects, they asked our permission if they can hire them .

George was able to make precise machines for barrels of the guns you provided and Ron was only able to make some parts of the flintlocks . "

John gave his orders as he listened to the reports, "Hmm . . . Ok tell them to suspend the current operations, pay them for their current labor, Its good that the New Forge is already built, We will ask Tornwall to make the machines for the guns, and tell them to provide the parts they already made . Tell them we will compensate them with other projects since we didn’t accurately gauge their current production capabilities . "

"They will be notified at the earliest . On your orders, we have started to encourage all the people in the Village to go to schools prepared by us regardless of their status . At first, they were quite skeptical but they are slowly starting to show positive reactions after the changes Lord has carried out in the whole village . Villagers are particularly happy about the reduction of taxes and the Farming solutions which you had provided in the previous incident . This is one of the reasons why there is a positive reaction from people when they heard that you were the one who proposed the education of all the masses . However, I think we will face the problem of shortage of manpower in the universities . We need to aggressively hire more people for our schools and universities so we can be prepared for a time when a lot of people start recognizing the importance of learning . "

"As for the farming administration, we have already gathered data on people and their farming practices in the town . we have also carried out a census a few days back and the population of the town has recently increased to 6833 people and it will continue to do so . "

"That’s true, If needed I will need to personally look for people for our universities . What is the situation of the dramas in theaters which I mentioned earlier?"

"We have already made preparations regarding the dramas but we need to be fully prepared before we launch it . However, there is one thing which has been concerning us these days I hope you can give us the solution for it . "

John furrowed his brows as he heard this report, "What is it?"

Hearing John’s tone Taylor immediately reported, "Because of the increasing population, there has been a rise of crime from people arriving from other cities, So I hoped we can resolve this problem early if it escalates to higher levels . Those same people are also causing a ruckus near our factories these days but Vlad’s men are handling this matter smoothly so it is not be worried however I thought there was a need to report about this situation . I hoped we can make an internal policy and deploy some knights . "

John then realized he had ignored one of the basic problems which came with an increase in population, he was glad that Taylor noticed this problem earlier and reported him while giving him solutions which also met his directions,

John seriously thought and finally, he made a decision, "Call Jay immediately . "

***

After some time Jay arrived and met with John and Taylor, " I think you already know about the problem of crimes which increased recently, I am going to make a department which is especially dedicated to internal matters, it’s going to be called Ministry of Internal Security, under it we are going to create a homeland police security force . The men don’t need to be trained a lot but they need to be disciplined and carry out orders perfectly . As you have a lot of influence in the Town, people will not resist it and actively join the team . I want you to be head of the Ministry of Internal Security and find a suitable man to head over Homeland Police security force . "

"Taylor will provide you with the funds and if you have any problems you can come to me, So what do you think? you wanna join something different? the security of the North-Frontier town is very important to all of us and that is also one of the reasons I choose you . "

Jay thought about John’s proposition and replied, "I think this would be a challenging position to handle however I like the idea of keeping the internal security of the town . Okay, it’s decided I will immediately choose people who fit the profile for this position . However, we would need a set of laws to handle unexpected situations so it doesn’t get awkward when something unexpected happens . As you know a lot of nobles have recently started visiting our town because of the popularity of Hope Restaurant so I don’t want my men to face situations where they don’t know what to do . And yeah I want a discount whenever I visit Hope for a year from now on . " Jay Joked a bit and said to John

John smiled as both of them had the same line of thinking when laws were mentioned and said, "I had already decided to make a set of laws when I decided to make this ministry . As for Restaurant Hope, you don’t have to worry, Taylor will immediately inform Miss Martha that you will get free food for a year . Try recruiting more people from the village who you can trust at the earlier stages so it won’t be a problem managing them . "

Taylor then interrupted him as he was a lot more familiar with law in Aelius, "Master, I think there will be conflicts of laws if we don’t follow the laws of Royal Families when it comes to nobles, We can only make laws for those who aren’t aristocrats, for other cases we would have to toe the line of Imperial Capital, However we can reduce the problems of aristocratic behavior if we deploy some of our guards whenever a noble visits our town, and If we are strong enough to become duke later on then only can we make certain laws to suit our interests and ideologies . "

John thought a bit and ordered Taylor, "It is good that you reminded me of this grave matter or else I would have certainly made a big political blunder and become a laughing stock . "

Bring me all the latest books regarding the laws of the Imperial city . I might as well go through these books and find loopholes to make laws suiting our interests"

John looked at Jay after this reminder and asked him, "So, that’s how it is Jay, It will take time but we will certainly achieve our dreams . Do you still want to accept this position after hearing about those laws?"

Jay sighed and said in a nostalgic tone as he remembered a thing from his past, "It’s okay, every work has it’s own hardships and this one will have its own hardships as well, at least remaining in this position will at least help me reduce the incidents which occur regularly in other cities . "

Jay ended this with a determined tone as if he was prepared to endure and work on this for a long time .

John smiled as he saw Jay’s determined face and said to him,

"As for the training of warriors, you can always train them during the specified time, maybe they can help you later on if required . you should teacher’s have a respected position in the hearts of their students unless you are an awfully bad and cruel teacher . "
