Chapter 229 Preparatory Reform
As a being with memories of his previous life, Roland had seen all kinds of weird things in the Internet era of his previous life.

He thought he had seen all sorts of scenes.

But now, Roland recalled the text exchanges he had with Julius during the march and the battle, and her current fearless and skilled performance.

He could only say that he had never seen such a scene before.

Ten years old? At the age of ten, he defeated all competitors and became the Archon of the Old Qi, managing the entire territory and the fate of millions of people.

After a long silence, Roland still said nothing.

Actually, age doesn’t matter. In this world, child labor is not a rare thing.

Since she had reached this position with her own abilities, Roland couldn't just kick her out because of her age.

So, although Roland was a little surprised by Julius' age, he quickly calmed down and continued with his own arrangements. Together with Hela, he silently observed Julius' activities throughout the day.

That afternoon, when Julius returned to her room after a busy day, she received Roland's order.

Of course, Roland is not the kind of person who would exploit anyone he finds useful. At least, Roland would not exploit Julius, a ten-year-old girl, maybe?
In short, Roland did not let Julius come to see her immediately. He set the time for three days later.

Sitting in his seat, Julius, whose face was stiff from laughing all day, opened his mouth expressionlessly and ate a large piece of bread that could meet the nutritional needs of an adult for a day in just a few bites, while in his other hand he held the order given by Roland.

As someone who had communicated with Roland and had been silently observing his existence, although Roland's order did not say anything and only asked her to go there in three days, she still knew what Roland was thinking.

Based on the information revealed in her previous text exchanges with Roland, as well as Roland's whereabouts during this period of time, it is clear that Roland, who has returned to Old Qi, has finally found the time and energy to carry out drastic reforms to the current chaotic administrative system.

Julius thought silently for a while.

Although Julius had enormous power after becoming the Archon of Old Qi, especially in the wild and almost unrestrained situation, Julius was not blinded by power. Although Roland had been marching and fighting outside for several months, the real power of Old Qi was still firmly in Roland's hands.

Those bureaucrats who thought that no one would care about them after Roland left and tried to cause trouble would either be discovered by their superiors, removed from their positions and expelled from the country.

Or a legionnaire in golden armor would rush up to him and chop his head off with one blow.

This kind of thing is rare, but it does happen.

Although the first batch of administrative bureaucrats selected by Roland were personally selected by him using magic, they were of good character, and because of Roland's life-saving grace, they were relatively reliable and basically loyal to Roland.

However, after the brutal expansion, some garbage was bound to be mixed into the administrative system.

Therefore, senior bureaucrats such as Julius were more in favor of regularly cleaning up the mixed-in garbage.

Perhaps they might be corrupted in the future, but now it has been less than a year, and they are busy as hell with government affairs every day, eating, drinking and staying in fixed official places, and they all come from the lower class, but they have not shown any signs of corruption.

Generally speaking, the senior officials of the entire administrative system were loyal to Roland. However, although they were loyal to Roland, it did not mean that there was no competition between them. The gradually declining control of Julius, the old consul, over the local areas proved this.

Every local governor was loyal to Roland, but also wanted to make progress.

In addition to administration, Roland also controlled the military.

You know, all the military power of the Old Qi is concentrated in the hands of one person, Roland.

Even Julius only had the power to mobilize the city defense forces. As for the legionnaires, she couldn't mobilize a single soldier unless Roland gave the order. Therefore, although Roland had been away fighting for several months, he still firmly controlled the entire territory.

As long as Roland is willing, the entire territory will obey his will.

Therefore, the resistance Roland faced in promoting administrative reforms was much less than that faced by Julius.

The only question is how Roland intends to change it and how much he wants to change.

Although Julius believed that Roland should have a reform plan, this order was most likely intended to hear her ideas.

Otherwise, Roland could have just issued the reform plan directly, there would be no need to go through so much trouble.

Perhaps, her meeting with Roland three days later will affect the reform plan that Roland finally formulates.

Julius felt a little excited when he thought about this.

So she took a bath, dried her hair with magic, and went straight to bed.

No matter how excited she is, that will be three days later. If she doesn't go to bed yet, her sleep time today may not be enough, as she has to get up early tomorrow.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

Julius walked into the agreed room carrying a box full of information.

After Julius entered the room, a layer of elemental shield enveloped the room. At the same time, several first-order knights outside the room also silently patrolled the surroundings.

After entering the room, Julius immediately saw Roland sitting at the conference table and Hela beside him.

Julius carried the box and bowed to Roland and Hela.

"No need to be polite, just sit down."

Roland pointed to the empty seat in front of him and said.

"Yes."

Julius nodded, walked to Roland and sat down. At the same time, she placed the box in her hand on the conference table.

Roland glanced at the box, smiled at her and said.

"It seems that you know why I am looking for you?"

"As the Archon of the Old Qi, I think no one knows the entire administrative system better than you, so I would like to hear your thoughts on the next administrative reform."

Julius, who was well prepared, nodded, opened the box, and took out the prepared information.

During these three days, Julius postponed some important government affairs that were not particularly urgent in order to organize the data in the box.

She took the time to collect materials for these arguments, and compiled and summarized the various administrative problems she had encountered during this period, as well as the corresponding solutions and reform suggestions.
