Now that the Hand of the King has been appointed, it would be a good idea to appoint some other officials as well.
Yan was originally the steward of Rose Castle, and Krober directly appointed him as the royal steward to oversee all matters related to the Yangliu Island Palace.
Slaves, supplies, elves, dragon gardens, etc.
The position of Minister of Finance is held by Vashj. Maybe it's because the Naga people have been accustomed to hard times in recent years, but whenever Vashj needs money, she wants to break a gold coin into two halves.
Kroeber admires people who are stingy but well versed in the ways of wealth.
Being stingy is just one of the reasons. Vashj's way of making money also opened the door to a new world for Krobo.
She traded a large amount of common marine specialties at low prices from the mermaid clan's territory in the northern part of the Blue Sea, and then sold them to a group of middle and low-end human nobles at high prices.
After deducting the costs, the Amethyst Caravan probably made a profit of over one million gold coins from this business trip.
The cheapest marine specialty costs a dozen or so gold coins, while the most expensive ones are only a few hundred gold coins.
But it is precisely because of its low price that it has attracted a large number of middle and low-end aristocrats.
Today, the marine specialties sold by Ocean Flow Island have occupied most of the low- and mid-end markets in the four major kingdoms: the Emerald Kingdom, the Blazing Steel Kingdom, the Azure Tide Kingdom, and the Mountain Copper Kingdom.
As for the high-end ones, Vashj doesn't consider them.
The weakest among that group were the Fantasy Beast Knights. Although they were rich, they were also knowledgeable and not as easily deceived as those petty nobles.
The position of Interior Minister that Orchi had originally retired from was eventually handed over by Krober to the Golden Dragon Knight Sk.
This is one of the few smart guys among the dragon knights under Krober.
Kroeber had no other choice but to do so.
Kroeber offered the position of Foreign Minister to Ansel because he knew that Ansel hated trouble.
The sinecure of Foreign Secretary suits him perfectly.
This position doesn't even require any work, at most it involves receiving foreign guests.
Under normal circumstances, you just need to slack off at work every day and don’t have to worry about anything.
However, regarding this position, Kroeber has a principle that he must adhere to:
That means it must be given to human dragon knights.
If these three positions were all held by the sea dragon knights, it would not sound good if the news got out.
After all, these three positions are the three most important and the three with the highest status among the officials of the kingdom.
Therefore, there must be a human dragon knight to take on this role.
As for those other minor positions, there is no need to select them from among the dragon knights.
For example, positions such as Minister of Agriculture, Minister of Trade, and Magic Advisor.
Kroeber assigned them to Hyer, Foster and Ronald respectively.
In the crowd, old man Foster stood aside, recalling the past days. For a moment, he couldn't help but feel mixed emotions and tears streamed down his face.
When it comes to time spent together, Foster is the best choice.
He has been by Krober's side since he was born, witnessing his growth and success all the way.
Originally, he thought that his young master's contract with the Tin Dragon and becoming a White Tin Dragon Knight was already a great honor for the family.
Unexpectedly, only a few years later, the young master contracted an ocean dragon and became a high-ranking dragon knight.
That's a high-ranking dragon knight!
King of a country!
There are only seven people of the same level in the entire continent!
The highest-ranking and most powerful person Foster had ever met when he was young was Daniel Golden Rose, who was an earl at the time.
When I followed Lord Lilith to Deepwater Territory, the strongest man in that shabby place was just a formal knight.
The young master back then even had to rely on his protection to grow up in Deepwater Territory.
Now, in just a few years, the dragon knight who was once high and mighty and ruled an entire country alone would bow respectfully when he saw his young master.
"Old man, why are you crying? Our good days are still ahead."
When Kroeber saw Foster crying, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.
It is true that he had a smooth journey and did not suffer any setbacks.
But he still remembered who was willing to stay by his side when the war was approaching and he couldn't even afford a set of leather armor.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but walk forward and hug the old man.
"Old man, after becoming the Minister of Trade, remember to get yourself some good things. Becoming a Great Knight is not the end of the road for you."
"Earth Knight, Sky Knight, Fantasy Beast Knight, and even Dragon Knight!"
"I will prepare the mythical beasts for you, and you can choose any of the dragons in the Dragon Breeding Garden."
"But there's only one thing. I want you to stay with me for thousands, or even tens of thousands of years."
After hearing what Krober said, Foster quickly wiped away his tears and nodded vigorously.
Starting today, he will practice harder and try not to hold the young master back.
Seeing Mr. Foster nod in agreement, Krober also showed a happy smile on his face.
"Pass the order! Promote Foster Woodshield to Earl immediately! Grant him the island of Cloud Sea as his fiefdom. Also, select a Water Daphne Sprite and a Cloud Dream Grass Sprite from my insect room as rewards and send them along."
Since he conquered the Kul and Naga tribes, all the elves in the treasure houses of the two tribes fell into Krober's hands.
The Naga people are relatively poor and don't have much good stuff.
There are more than ten elves and one big elf in the Kuer tribe alone.
These elves greatly filled the vacancies in Krobe's insect room.
The Yunmeng Grass Elf is one of the spoils of the Kul tribe.
The water calendula elf was a gift from the Naga tribe when they asked him for help.
Now, Krober has been given to Mr. Foster.
The Cloud Sea Island is a circular island located in the middle of the blue sea, with a total area of about one thousand square kilometers.
It may be slightly inferior to a normal earldom, but if you take into account the area of the sea in the middle, it is almost as big as a marquisate.
From the very beginning, Krober intended to give this island to old man Foster.
After the territories and titles were divided, Krober also granted titles to others.
Anyway, the founding ceremony of this world does not have the concept of enthroning ministers, so the sooner you enthroned them, the more at ease you would be.
Kroeber stopped Foster from refusing.
"Old man, there's no need to refuse. This is what you deserve. When you become an Earth Knight, I will give you another great gift."
Logically speaking, a Grand Knight cannot be granted the title of Earl.
But Kroeber doesn't care about that. He has the final say in his country.
He even thinks the title of Earl is too low!
As for the others, except for Haier who was awarded the title of Viscount for his hard work and meritorious service as a formal knight, the others were awarded titles and territories according to the commonly known rules.
