The gem equipment was just the first gift that Krober gave to Mr. Foster.
Other gifts will be presented at the first official meeting of the Amethyst Islands held in Krobo.
This official conference was of great significance to Kroeber, as it was a means to consolidate and maintain his own ruling position.
The official conference system is one of the three major systems that Krober intends to apply in the Amethyst Islands this time, but it is ranked last in order.
The first of these three systems is the island aristocracy system.
The island aristocracy system is also known as the honorary title system.
Now Krobe has become an earl and has the right to enfeoff nobles.
For nobles like Foster and Hyer who have always followed him diligently and hardworkingly, Krober must also fulfill his responsibilities as a lord and grant them titles and fiefs.
But his territory is made up of islands, which further strengthens the independence of each island.
Therefore, Kroeber planned to innovate the existing political system. It was impossible to implement the feudal system as before, so a brand new island aristocracy system was created.
This island aristocracy system retained the original title system, but changed the management of each noble's fiefdom to officials sent by Kroeber.
In general, the ownership of the entire island still belongs to Krober, and the nobles who were granted fiefs here only obtained the right to dividends and corresponding titles.
The owner of the island is still Kroeber, and only officials sent by Kroeber have management rights.
The island aristocracy system is completed, and the next system is the "governor system".
The governor system is actually very simple. These dispatched officials are "governors" and their task is to be responsible for the economic and livelihood development of the island.
Each Governor-General was rewarded with the title of Knight.
The Governor's term of office is five years, after which his knighthood will be revoked and he will be transferred to another island or return to Amethyst Island to take up other positions.
In addition, the island's annual revenue will be divided into two parts:
Sixty percent belongs to the nobles who are granted titles here, and forty percent is handed over to Amethyst Island for the normal operation and maintenance of the island.
In this way, the nobles could still enjoy the benefits of their fiefdoms while also ensuring the prosperity and stability of the island.
Moreover, for undeveloped islands like these, the nobles who were granted fiefdoms there did not need to make any initial investment. From the initial pioneering to town construction, all expenses in this regard were borne by Amethyst Island.
Overall, this system will cause the nobles to lose a considerable amount of their interests, and the power of officials will increase to a certain extent.
But Krober was confident that he could suppress them with his own strength.
If they don't know what's good for them, there are plenty of people willing to fill their gaps.
After the island aristocracy system and the governor system were implemented, the third important system came next - the annual officials' conference system.
Different from the first island aristocracy system, this system was mainly established to check and balance the officials responsible for managing the various islands.
After the implementation of the island aristocracy system, the power of the nobles had been suppressed to a certain extent, and Kroeber naturally did not want the power of officials to expand accordingly.
Therefore, the official conference system came into being.
Every official holding an administrative position on other islands must go to Amethyst Island within the specified time to report their work to Krober.
This system of gathering all officials together for unified reporting is called the official conference system.
At this performance review meeting, each official had to summarize in detail the work results of the past year.
If their reports disagreed with the information obtained by the intelligence agencies dispatched by Kroeber, these officials' political careers would likely be over.
In this way, it can be ensured that officials dare not slack off and work wholeheartedly for the development of the island.
At the same time, it can also prevent some officials from abusing their power for personal gain and safeguard the interests of the island residents.
In short, the main purpose of these three systems is to reduce the power of the aristocracy, support officials to check and balance the aristocracy, and strengthen centralization.
Moreover, since the personal military power in this world can be very strong, Krober does not have to worry about rebellion or the like.
So this can definitely be called the most advanced political system in the world.
During this period, Krober does not plan to go out, but instead plans to focus all his energy on managing the territory.
Only after the three major systems are fully implemented will he consider how to improve his own strength and strive to become a Sky Knight as soon as possible.
After all, only by improving one's own strength can one have more say.
Kroeber said to Foster:
"Mr. Foster, take care of your current affairs for the next few days, then take the management of Black Feather Island to Amethyst Island. I will be holding an important meeting there and announcing some good news to everyone."
He did not reveal too much information to the old man because he knew that some surprises had to be kept until the last moment to shock people.
"As you command, sir. I will arrange all the work as soon as possible and will not delay the progress of the meeting."
Foster did not ask about the content of the meeting. Although he was curious about what was about to happen, he knew that the most important thing was to complete the task ordered by Krober.
"Okay, old man, you go ahead and do your work. I still have to go to Amethyst Island to see how my castle is going.
That guy Hyer said it's already in the final stages, and if possible, I'd like this meeting to be held in the newly completed castle."
Krober stood up. As a lord, he had too many things to take care of.
Even though he has handed over most of the tasks to others, some important matters still need to be handled by him personally.
For example, holding an important meeting like this still requires Krober to put in a little effort.
As he thought about it, he walked towards the door and saw the servant he had questioned when he landed on Griffin.
The servant was holding a large tray with various delicacies placed on it, arranged in an orderly manner and emitting an enticing aroma.
The deliciousness of seafood, the sweetness of bread and the rich aroma of monster meat are intertwined together, making people salivate.
Krober looked at the food and his stomach started to growl.
Um.....
Only then did he remember that he had not eaten since he walked out of Veronica's room.
Thinking of this, he returned to his original position and instructed the servant:
"Prepare me another lunch of the same style, but with a larger portion, maybe...three times the size of this tray."
