Warlord: King of All Clans

Savinting was sitting quietly by the side. Upon hearing this, she skillfully called a secretary from the big house office and said, "Go find all the files of Wu Jin."

"yes."

After the secretary found Wu Jin's family file, Savinting flipped through it and copied down his criminal history one by one. Then he drafted an official document and gave it to Wu Liyang for review.

Because the kobolds' fingers are short and have sharp claws, they are not actually suitable for holding a pen, but Savinting has already trained himself to be very skilled.

The hanging notice, which consisted of several hundred words, had precise wording and neat paragraphs, without a single correction in the entire document.

The elegant handwriting seemed to be written by a lady from a noble family.

Uliyan took a look and signed.

This newly issued official document from the Lord's Mansion was quickly sent to the Civil Affairs Hall outside the big house.

The deputy mayor of Hewan Town glanced at the contents of the document, confirmed that it was correct, and handed it to the clerk in his hand, "Good guy, it's finally cut. Put it on the front page of the official newspaper, make the title as big as possible, and then send it to the printing house, print 100 copies, and distribute them to the four towns."

"yes."

The small courtyard next to the Civil Affairs Hall is the newly built printing house of the lord's mansion. All the books, picture albums, test papers, announcements, etc. in the entire Hewan come from here.

There are not only the commonly used lead type printing presses, but also temporary manual mimeograph presses, and now there is also a mechanical printing press.

The movable type printing press can print Hewan's brochures, simple books, popular science books and other cheap books.

Manual mimeograph machines can print temporary paper pages such as test papers and notices.

As for the latest mechanical printing presses, using the highest-grade inks and paper, they are already capable of printing official documents, court bulletins, and formal books, with quality comparable to that of professional scribes in manor houses and churches.

The papermaking technology of the Orlantis Empire had been developed to maturity long ago. There were papermaking workshops and printing workshops in the earl's main city in the north, and books were not rare among the ruling class.

However, the rural areas in the north do not need much paper, so there is only one small papermaking workshop in the whole of Isenpol that produces some low-quality straw paper.

After Leo took control of the city of Isenbol, he directly moved the entire property of the lord's mansion to Hekou Town.

He also spent his own money to improve the quality of paper at the paper mill, ensuring that Hewan had sufficient paper.

Nowadays, paper, which was rarely touched by ordinary people, has become common in Hewan.

Although it is the printing house of the lord's mansion, now private merchants and guilds can also print the documents they want here.

The next day, Savinting's handwritten document was placed on the front page of the Riverbend Gazette, and the original was sent back to the big house office for filing.

This pile of printed bulletins, along with other new regulations of Hewan, supplementary provisions, employment notices, and reward notices, were divided into four bundles and then delivered to the coachman of the Hewan public carriage.

Of course, these are all regular written materials. If they are urgent documents or secret documents, they will be sent through the lord's mansion channel and delivered by Pegasus to avoid any mistakes in the river carriages that carry people and goods.

Freya's Pegasus Knights increase their number of members every month. They have not yet completed their training and can hardly participate in combat, but they are already able to perform aerial reconnaissance, postal express delivery, and manned services.

Several public carriages set out from Hewan Town and headed towards the other three towns in Hewan.

One of the carriages was heading to Gravel Castle. Halfway through the journey, it passed a nature village. The driver stopped the carriage and let off several passengers.

The village chief had been waiting nearby, rubbing his hands as he stepped forward to say politely, "Lord Eugene, have a safe trip."

The driver found a few letters and two official bulletins and handed them to the headman, "You are the only one in Hewan who calls me Sir. Here, these are letters from your son and nephew, and the latest official bulletin from the Lord's Mansion."

"Thank you for your hard work!" The headman happily took the report, and with a flick of his wrist, two silver coins fell into the driver's hand.

The driver Eugene stroked the silver coin and reluctantly threw it back to the headman, "It's not that I don't want to take it, but I really don't dare. If someone reports me, I don't have Wu Jin's three lives."

Two silver coins were already his three days' salary, but it was hard to get this money in Hewan.

The village chief tried to squeeze in, but the driver had already got on the carriage and continued to drive the public carriage towards the Gravel Castle.

The headman, who received the letter and the report, returned to his village with the passengers who got off the bus.

This is a mixed village of refugees and savages, with a population of nearly five hundred.

Mud and wooden houses of all sizes are scattered along a small river, surrounded by newly reclaimed farmland and logging sites.

When the population here was less than 300, Hewan built a mill for them free of charge and opened up a road from the village to the gravel road.

Because the imperial people and the wild people have had grievances for a long time, this village is very difficult to manage, but the fact that the chief can become the chief also proves that this chief has sufficient ability.

Last year there were frequent bloodsheds here, but this year there are almost none.

Most of the young and strong people among the wild folks and refugees joined the lord's army and militia. At least they followed the River Bend Engineering Corps to the neighboring United Knights Territory.

Among the remaining people there were some who were reckless and cruel, but after being beaten a few times according to the lord's decree and forced to do hard labor for a few days, they all became obedient.

This natural village does not have enough economic strength to build a lord's house, but the headman has his own brick house.

Last month, the reeds on the roof were replaced with tiles, and the villagers were treated to a banquet to celebrate the occasion.

In order to prevent children from destroying the bulletin board, the headman moved the bulletin board at the entrance of the village to the gate of his own yard.

The first thing he did after returning was to nail a copy of the official newspaper on the bulletin board.

Two villagers passing by stopped and looked at it for a long time. They didn't understand a word, so they asked the headman, "What's written on it? What happened?"

The headman himself was illiterate, so how could he know the content? He could only say, "Why are you just reading this? You will know it sooner or later. Teacher Buzz will read it to you after class."

One village man was not convinced, or rather took the opportunity to show off: "Why should I be in such a hurry? When my child comes home, he can read to me too!"

The villagers standing by were extremely envious. This villager himself had no talent, but he had a smart son who was noticed by Mr. Buz who came to teach there. He was sent to Hewan Primary School and the son already knew quite a few words.

Although he had only been in school for one year, he was already considered an educated person in this small mountain village where everyone was illiterate.

As for Mr. Buzz, as they call him, he was a crier sent by the Civil Affairs Department of Hewan Town. Last year, he was only responsible for reading out the lord's decrees, recording the villagers' various illegal and criminal acts, and being responsible for communication between the village and the lord's mansion.

But after getting familiar with the place, he decided to open a literacy class here and teach the children in the village to read and write.

A village with a population of over 500 is already at the level of a Corner Flag Knight Territory in the North.

In the past, the Earl of the North would appoint a knight lord to rule, but in the River Bend, there is only one crier for the time being.

All the grassroots cadres that were saved were put into the large-scale development of the United Knights Territory.
