Chapter 228 Promotion
Although Roland was in poor condition and weak, his sea of ​​soul was also in a dormant state.

However, this does not hinder Roland's promotion. At most it just takes a little more time, which is not a big problem.

Under Roland's command, the silent Sea of ​​Souls began to move slowly like a rusty gear, and began to slowly wash the edge of the Sea of ​​Souls, expanding the area of ​​the Sea of ​​Souls.

Although the Silent Sea of ​​Souls moves a little slowly, but as mentioned before, the spellcaster's promotion is a natural process.

When the first ray of sunlight shone on the earth, the slowly rotating sea of ​​souls finally broke through the limit area of ​​the fourth-ring caster.

Although it has only exceeded the original limit area a little bit, it can only be said that there is one more bucket of water in a lake, and there is no big change.

But, although the addition is not much, the significance is significant.

This means that Roland has broken through the limit of the fourth ring, and his sea of ​​soul can then expand unhindered until it reaches the limit of the fifth ring.

After completing the breakthrough, Roland also opened his eyes.

Hela, who was standing by, looked at him and asked.

"Did you make it?"

"Ah."

Roland nodded, then he looked in the direction of Jiuqi and spoke.

"Let's go, I've rested enough. Let's go back to Jiuqi. There's still a lot of work I need to deal with."

Since Roland had made a breakthrough, his original plan to rest for ten days or half a month to adjust his condition was naturally thrown out of his mind.

The breakthrough has already been made, why do I need to adjust my status? Wait until Roland reaches the limit of the fifth ring, and then talk about it if he can't break through the sixth ring.

Hela nodded somewhat helplessly, packed up all her things, and followed Roland out of the Golden Forest.

After returning to Old Qi City, Roland did not immediately interfere with the operation of the territory.

After all, he was in remote command before and could only perform certain micro-management in the general direction. Therefore, he needed time to understand the specific development of his territory.

Therefore, while reading through various data reports, he also silently patrolled various parts of the territory, recording what he saw and heard. At the same time, he also inspected military camps in various places and confirmed the training situation of the soldiers in the camps.

Except for Hela who took the initiative to follow Roland, he did not bring anyone else.

After a month of quick inspection, Roland was quite satisfied with the overall development of the territory.

Although there are some minor problems here and there, the territory is generally thriving, and the situation in various places is similar to what is written in the data reports.

However, although he was quite satisfied, Roland was still not satisfied and was ready to carry out another drastic reform of the territory.

As the population under its jurisdiction grew, in order to accommodate the population, the territory not only built three new cities, but also an increasing number of various villages and towns.

With the rapid development of the territory, the simple administrative system that Roland had previously established was already somewhat overwhelmed.

Moreover, the administrative system that has expanded wildly now not only appears a bit bloated, but also has exposed many problems in its operation.

There are mixed positions, unclear levels and responsibilities, lack of supervision, almost no sense of confidentiality, and a poor and chaotic recruitment and promotion system.

Only because it can still function, based on the idea that as long as it can function, this simple administrative system can continue to operate.

Although some people, such as Julius, have thought about reforming and optimizing the administrative system, due to the lack of clear hierarchical division of positions, even Julius has no way to implement the reforms.

Although she was the Archon of the Old Qi Dynasty and the highest Archon by default, due to the overexpansion of the administrative system and the unclear internal levels, the control of the Archons of the Old Qi Dynasty over the local Archons has begun to decline.

Before, other places needed the input of materials from Jiuqi, so the governors of Jiuqi were able to ensure control over the local areas. However, with the development of local cities and the growth of local forces, they were no longer particularly dependent on the supply of materials from Jiuqi.

Jiuqi's control over the local area began to decline, especially because Jiuqi's special status was only because it was the first city under Roland's command, and Roland did not establish Jiuqi as the capital.

Therefore, not only did the control of the old Qi Dynasty over the local areas decline, but its tacit central status was also impacted by the development of local cities.

Fortunately, Julius was strong enough to immediately seize the financial power that had not been completely lost after discovering the problem, thus slowing down the decline of local control.

However, this was only a slowdown. Without Roland's authorization and support, Julius, who had walked up to the current position of consul from the rules, could only do this much.

If Roland had left it alone and allowed them to continue to grow wildly, within two years, the entire new order of the Old Qi would have collapsed.

And if Roland could bring more land under his rule, this period might be extended by another year or two.

However, this is only a temporary solution and not a permanent solution.

So, now that he knew the problem, Roland naturally had to solve it.

However, reform is definitely necessary, but how to reform is a problem.

First of all, the central government must be established. Considering the situation in Donnar, if the central government of the capital needs to be stable, the best option is Jiuqi.

Jiuqi originally had a default central status. Even if its status has been weakened now, it is reasonable to establish it as the capital and it will not cause much problem.

As for the rest, although Roland had some ideas, he planned to meet Julius first and combine his ideas with that of this administrative genius who had worked his way up from a messenger to a consul.

Although Roland had communicated with Julius remotely before when they were marching and fighting.

However, due to the limited conditions during the march and battle, although Roland and Julius discussed ideas about administrative reform, they spent more time communicating and handling various government affairs.

Therefore, Roland planned to meet her formally to meet this outstanding consul.

However, before calling her over to discuss the matter, Roland had to first understand the situation and appearance of the consul, otherwise it would be embarrassing if he recognized the wrong person.

"Is this Julius?"

Sitting by the window, Roland looked at Julius who was inspecting the construction project in the square and said in surprise.

"Correct."

Hela nodded and said.

After hearing Hela's answer, Roland was silent for a while, then looked at her and said.

"She's an adult, right? She just looks younger?"

Hela shook her head and spoke.

"If the records are correct, she just turned ten today."

After listening to Hela's words, Roland looked at Julius again and remained silent.

Is this ten years old?
