Artimer began to explain that the postal code is a fantastic idea but the code in particular of the provinces can be a real pain for bureaucrats and users because the A1000 code to represent province 10 is not complicated but for province 11 B1000 will start to generate problems.

So the solution I found was to occupy the letter with a value of 10, therefore province 10 will be A0000, 11 A1000, 12 A2000 and if so on, when you reach province 20 this will be B0000, that way you can have a code that works in the near future without generating bureaucratic chaos.

Flavio had to admit that the forecast of Artimer with the postal code saved in the future the bureaucrats and mail users, two things destroy an efficient society corruption and mismanagement if you can avoid both the empire can grow strong and able to survive the future.

Flavio knew that Artimer could be a great minister, he had the qualities and the ability to do so and he did not want him to waste himself being only a mayor who, after serving his term, would once again be a citizen, losing his potential somewhere.

"I would like to invite you to be part of my cabinet of ministers mainly in charge or as the supervision of the management of the bureaucracy in the empire, how do you know today we only have three provinces.

If we do not have efficient control as of now that there is little bureaucracy in the future it can be dangerous for the empire, because the foundations that will sustain it in the future are badly made and that can cause the empire to fall and everything done is lost forever. "

Flavio said as he looked seriously at Artimer, who seemed to have sweat on his forehead.

Artimer never thought that the emperor asked him to be a minister, he was born in a family whose father was Roman and his mother was from Gaul, they met in the campaigns of Julius Caesar, they got married and they had a child who they called Artimer, his life It was quite simple, he did not go hungry but he did not receive luxuries, just as his father entered the legion to serve Rome.

He was in charge of the supply where he learned the use of mathematics and other skills that helped him to be a great administrator, he met Flavio when the emperor Augustus commanded the legions against corocotta the king of the Cantabrians, Artimer had to admit that the grandson of Emperor Augustus He was extremely intelligent and perhaps with him he could advance even more than just being a soldier.

He decided to join the invasion army where he met Lucio the stepfather of Flavio, his life in the legion was quite simple, when they arrived in America he was sent as a sailor until he joined in the invasion made by the emperor to Insulae Canibalium.

When Flavio retired to take charge of the southern zone, it was left to h.e.l.lena who, together with Azalea, conquered the island from the dirty hands of the cannibals.

After this the calm was relative for him until in the meetings for the selection process of the mayor of Magna Caribe he was lucky that he was randomly selected, thanks to this he could show his worth as administrator and be able to get to know the Emperor Flavio himself and receive an invitation to your cabinet of ministers.

For Azalea it is the best option because with Artimer as direct contact with Flavio you can ensure that your province will not be left helpless by the empire, they continued talking for some time and Artimer agreed to be a minister once his term as mayor ends.

The next day the tour of the province began the first part to review was the Romulus wall because although the island was already conquered the wall was still in operation as a preventive measure in case at some point the Caribs want to return, something that surprised Flavio It was to see what a statue of h.e.l.lena was building on the Caribbean at the main entrance of the wall.

Flavio loved that the statue was so well detailed that he decided to donate his own money to build a fountain at the base of it to make it look even better, he also toured the fallen monolith where the hundreds of thousands of bodies of the Caribs were buried, with a simple but forceful message "Dust you are and dust you will become if you harm the Nova Roman Empire."

When Flavio just toured the wall began to review the rest of the island, Flavio could see that although only a few months had pa.s.sed since his capture the new citizens who arrived in town began to work hard, in some places you could see slaves rented by the government of the province to their owners building roads, there are others who build houses and drains but wherever they pa.s.s there is a trace of people working.

This made Flavio happy because the development of the empire is important, it is good to conquer but if the land obtained cannot be developed then it is a waste because it will only be a burden that will cost valuable resources.

Azalea explained to Flavio as they toured the province the need for animals such as cows and goats for grazing, such as the increase of resources for the construction of a large road that will go from end to end on the island is an important artery of commerce and communication within from the province.

Flavio knew that this mega project could benefit this province a lot because joining the island with a large road the development would detonate in the region "Very well Azalea will order that they bring s.h.i.+ps full of cement and asphalt for the construction of the road.

I will also send 5 out of 10 migrants to the province to increase the population, I hope Azalea to encourage the birth of more infants, the empire will support the new parents with food and pensions, you have to build hospitals and schools in the munic.i.p.al capitals to ensure the efficiency of services "

Azalea nodded "If Emperor Flavio, with extra resources and population we can quickly transform this province into the best place in the empire"

"I know that you are going to be a great job but remember that there are also other provinces, it is good to have confidence just avoid becoming arrogance because that can destroy growth by not wanting to accept reality," Flavio said while riding his beautiful jet black horse.

Azalea knew that he had achieved his goal although his responsibilities increased, he was happy because if he continued that way he could leave his mark on the province as the best governor of the empire ...
