Chapter 568: Happe goes out for training
The cabinet was formed very quickly. After many communications, most importantly between Russell and Marquis Merlin, the candidates were finally determined.
There are seven cabinet ministers in total.
Chief Executive - Marquis Merlin Yujiuhua;
General Manager of Internal Affairs - Lord Kumbe, Dragon Knight;
Chief Justice - Baron Black Court Kulis Tian Zicao;
Minister of Seals - Lord Kunqiao;
Minister of Finance - Baron Horn - Gevidas Baimaigen;
Minister of Industry - Lord Roland Fluorescent Mushroom;
Minister of Foreign Affairs - Earl Fuqiang Meier Yujiuhua, Dragon Knight.
Among the positions, the Minister of Volcano was abolished and replaced by the newly established Minister of Industry.
The reason is also very simple. In the future, Russell can make decisions on national affairs, so there is no need for the Minister of Volcano to communicate with the Shadow Flame Dragon. The establishment of the Minister of Industry is naturally to enable the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy to achieve industrialization.
Among the seven cabinet ministers, there are only two Dragon Knights.
Lord Quinbe is too old, so he doesn't need to shine in the snowfield. He can just stay in the Red Castle. Cousin Mel needs a dragon knight as the Minister of Foreign Affairs to communicate with the Kingdom of the Fiery Torrent and travel back and forth in the snowfield.
In the future, we may have to go deep into the snowfield to communicate with more countries. Without a dragon, it is difficult to guarantee the safety of the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Moreover, with the title of Earl of Floating Rose, Cousin Mel's identity as the Minister of Foreign Affairs will be more solid.
After the cabinet was formed, the Dragon Military Advisory Group was also established, referred to as the "Dragon Group".
The Dragon Military Advisory Group is not only composed of dragon knights, but also has the authority to dispatch all the wyverns in the Grand Duchy, and is responsible for leading large-scale snowfield battles, including the annual knight group operations to clear the snowfield.
Baron Dusk and Clay Dragon Knight-Roman Fluorescent Mushroom serve as the group leader, and Footprint Dragon Knight-Lord Welch serves as the deputy group leader.
Silver Dragon Knight-Lord Sandra, Ruby Dragon Knight-Lord Gerard, Gold Dragon Knight-Lord Robert, Steel Dragon Knight-Lord Croa, Black Coal Dragon Knight-Lord Hancock, Green Crystal Dragon Knight-Lord Drela, were selected to join the Dragon Corps.
In addition, Baron Swan and Bronze Dragon Knight-Quanbifu Shadowflame were also invited to join the Dragon Military Advisory Group.
However, Baron Quanbifu refused to accept the invitation, citing the recurrence of his old injury and the fact that he was running out of time.
Russell did not force it.
"Father, from now on, all the flying dragons in the Grand Duchy will be handed over to you and the Dragon Corps for unified dispatch." Russell met Baron Roman in the Red Castle Hall, "You should take good care of the three-headed dragon in the Stone Crusher Territory."
"I understand." Baron Roman was in high spirits.
Although he did not enter the cabinet, after Russell was elected as the Grand Duke, he clearly separated the military and politics. Marquis Merlin became the head of the political affairs, and he became the head of the military affairs. Their status was equal, which made him very satisfied.
He smiled and said: "These three two-legged flying dragons interfered in the internal affairs of other territories in the past, and they had committed many sins. They should serve in the snowfield for a few more years!"
At the beginning of the establishment of the cabinet.
The first agenda was to redefine the regional map of the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame.
"Your Highness, after the cabinet's discussion, the region of the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame was officially divided into seven enclave provinces and eleven oasis provinces." Lord Quinbe, the chief steward of the interior, reported the results of the cabinet's discussion to Russell.
The seven enclave provinces are the seven warm enclaves before, but now they have changed their names.
They are the Gravel Province, the Three-Channel Estuary Province, the Fire Ant Swamp Province, the Golden Plains Province, the Phantom Light Province, the Poplar Gobi Province, and the Black Court Mountain Province.
Among the eleven oasis provinces, eight were originally volcanic oasis provinces.
They are the Wrath of Wind Province, the Plains Province, the Woodland Province, the Sandy Province, the Fog Marsh Province, the Mountain Province and the Thousand Lakes Province. The Fog Marsh Province was originally called the Yun Marsh Province, but Russell changed its name to prevent it from having the same name as the Yunmeng Marsh Oasis.
The remaining three provinces are small oasis provinces.
They are the Black Fire Land Province, the Thunder Marsh Province and the Qingqiu Province.
"Instruct the cabinet to nominate the governors of the eleven oasis provinces." Russell issued an order, "The governor's duties are to be in charge of the general affairs of the province in peacetime and accept the leadership of the cabinet; to lead the Knights in battle during wartime and accept the jurisdiction of the Flying Dragon Corps."
After being nominated by the cabinet and approved by Russell.
The governors of the eleven oasis provinces were quickly replaced. Of course, they are still only acting governors for the time being.
Among them, the governor of the province of agitation is Lord Rosen Fluorescent Mushroom; the governor of the province of Blackfire Land is Lord Eric...
The provinces of Lei Ze and Qing Qiu only have administrative divisions, and no governor's office has been established for the time being - this is the carrot pit that Russell has left, ready to support his followers Gronttan Baimaigen and Grove, and leave it for the future.
In addition.
In the Red Castle, Russell also made some personnel changes of guards and servants.
Katie served as the chief of the Red Castle palace guards, and her contracted fantasy beast-the red-eyed rat king Jerry, was also appointed as the Red Castle Rat Officer-specially responsible for the management of the rats in the Red Castle, and established treasure hunting rat squads, sentinel rat squads, pest control rat squads, etc., several rat squads.
Originally, Russell planned to let Butler Morris come to preside over the stewardship of the Red Castle, but Butler Morris cried to Russell at night with a bottle of red wine.
His ability was limited, and he really couldn't afford such a large family business as the Red Castle.
So Russell could only let him go back to the Cigar Palace with regret, and continue to serve as the chief steward of the Cigar Palace.
He selected an older servant from among the old men in the Red Castle to be the housekeeper, and assigned Leona to be the housekeeper.
"Maurice was frightened by the magnificence of the Red Castle. Leona, what about you?" Russell asked.
Leona is nearly thirty years old, with a confident smile on her pretty face: "Master, during the past few years of experience at the Cigar Palace, I feel that I have made great progress. I will learn a few lessons from the old housekeeper of the Red Castle. Years later, I can take care of all the chores in this castle for you!”
"Haha, very good!" Russell was very happy, "You are more responsible than Maurice. Study hard for a few years. When Princess Anxia and her daughter leave the inner fort, I will leave the entire management of the Red Fort to you. Burden!"
"Thank you for your trust and respect, Master. Leona will not disappoint you!" Leona said solemnly.
"Do your job well. In addition, I hope you will observe the servants of the Red Castle more and cultivate a group of trustworthy servants."
"Yes, sir."
"Okay, you go down and do your work." Russell waved his hand. Although he gave the inner castle to Princess Anxia to live in, it did not mean that he would give up control of the inner castle. He sent Katie and Leona over just to prepare. Take over everything here slowly.
This Red Castle has and can only implement one person's will, and that is him.
fine.
He is a truly powerful prince. His will can be carried out easily and no one can stop him.
"Russell." At this moment, the voice of the harpy Hape suddenly sounded in his heart.
"What's wrong, Happy?"
"I want to go out for a while." Hape manifested the figure of the harpy from the Storm Lord's mark, "I have completely digested the original dragon flame of His Highness Shadow Flame. This power makes me powerful, but I still have not enough!"
It glanced at Russell's forehead.
There, the double-folded lightning-shaped mark of the God of Thunder shines brightly.
"Before, I thought that the dragon domain lord was the end of the knight's path, and the pseudo-dragon was the ceiling for fantasy beasts like us. But... Her Highness Baoli proved that there is still a road ahead of the pseudo-dragon, so... I want to try it. Break!"
"There is no need to go out alone. We are partners and should go out together." Russell said.
"Following you, I won't get any experience." Happy said the fact that Russell and Paulie's strength squeezed out its room for play, "Just like Ouroboros and Sembra, they stay with you. , can’t get any experience.”
So Ouroboros, the ouroboros, and Sembula, the nightmare-like dragon, went to the snowy fields to practice fighting together.
Russell is rarely followed.
Hearing this, Russell sighed: "The truth is indeed such a truth. Although I am reluctant to give up, for the sake of your progress, I can only agree to you."
"Thank you, Russell, I will succeed!" Happy took a deep look at Russell, "I am no weaker than Your Highness Pauly!"
"Of course, of course, I've always thought so."
"Then I'm leaving." Happy nodded, then took off into the air, and flew out of the Red Castle hall, dissipating into the horizon like a gust of wind.
