Sir Bipp's words made Pedy's eyebrows furrow deeper and deeper, and he resisted the urge to rub his head, raised his eyelids and looked at Sir Bipp, "Just last night, the Duke of Barrett swore allegiance to me in front of everyone, and the Highland grasslands will also be incorporated into the kingdom. ”

"If I had not been the Prime Minister of the Royal Government, I would have congratulated you immediately, Your Majesty. The wrinkles on Sir Bipp's face piled up, and there was no joy on his face, "If the Highland steppes are incorporated into the kingdom at this moment, the country will be like a dog, with indigestion leading to incurable diseases or... Death. ”

Bipp's blunt words drew the attention of everyone around him, and he was so anxious that he forgot that he was facing a king.

"Your Majesty, I mean..."

"Derrick Danny has a suggestion. Pedi waved his hand to signal that Sir Bipp did not need to explain, and then beckoned to the servant beside him, who knowingly handed over the leather bag containing the document bag.

Peddy pulled out the top document from his bag and placed it in front of Sir Bipp, "Look at the plan. ”

Bipp was much more careful, and when he opened the document with doubt, Pedi turned his gaze to Don Wright, "The royal capital should have been quiet lately." ”

"Since the rebellion in the royal capital was suppressed, both the nobles and the merchants have maintained a relatively quiet state. Tang Wright replied seriously, "It's just that after the alliance captured Suke City recently, most of the nobles who stayed in the royal capital were rushing to Suke City. ”

"I don't think there's anything good about Suke City. Willie Jon couldn't help but interject from the side.

"In an emerging market, there is no one who will not be tempted by this piece of cake. ”

"Customs and Excise is doing well now, isn't it?" asked Pedi again, "you haven't reported tariff issues for nearly half a year. ”

Tang Wright was stunned, "After the smuggling case is over, there are no cases worth paying attention to at the customs." ”

"What do you think of the Queen's suggestion that I separate the Customs Department from the Police?"

Nowadays, it is obviously not reasonable for the customs to have a police station to manage it, and in the face of increasingly heavy water transportation, Peidi intends to integrate all water transportation, such as Wangdu to Seka Town and Baran Town to Byan City and Harrence City.

In the future, the Customs and Taxation Administration and Investigation Bureau will be a huge administrative body no less than the police department.

"I agree. After a moment's thought, Don Wright replied, "Smuggling cases will be investigated by the customs department alone, and it will be faster than the police department intervening." ”

A smile appeared on Pedy's face, and he was satisfied with Don Wright's answer, and then he asked, "I heard... Baron Hanina is still investigating the Marquis of Daisy-Pombo?"

"Yes, Chief Hannina has always been suspicious..."

"When you go back, ask Baron Hannina to apply to the Queen for a warrant for the arrest of the Marquis de Pombo, and the Queen will agree to it. Pedi didn't give Don Wright a chance to explain, "but only the Marquis de Pombo was allowed to be arrested." ”

"Your Majesty..."Tang Leite's face changed slightly, and Bipp's hands trembled uncontrollably slightly.

Only the Marquis de Pombo himself was arrested, and it was the will of the king himself. In other words, when Daisily Pombo is arrested and imprisoned, Hannina's political life will also end.

And that's exactly what Pedi intended!

Pedi had been looking for a delicate balance between the aristocracy and the commoners, and his plan was to dilute the aristocracy while strengthening centralization through the rise of commerce.

But the rebellion of the royal capital two years ago, and the countless nobles who were executed are upsetting this delicate balance.

The commoner aristocracy has been too aggressive in the past two years, which is not friendly to the rule of the royal power, and the treatment of Baron Hannina is a warning to them.

"Let Baron Hannina take care of this. "Pedi didn't want to dwell on it.

"Yes!" Don Wright gritted his teeth before taking the order.

Pedi liked the firmness of his police chief, and the stern expression on his face slowly softened, "There is another matter to recruit you...", he looked at the dense jungle next to him, "I plan to expand the police station, establish an inspection section within the police station, and start to investigate all corruption and crimes within the police station." ”

The king's words made Don Wright's scalp tingle, and the establishment of the inspection department was his previous report, but he did not expect that this plan would start with the fall of the mentor. This means that in the king's mind, the most disturbing thing within the police department is from the top.

"Your Majesty, if the Customs Department were to be separated from the Police Department and an Inspection Section was set up at the same time, the police officers would surely think that there was a connection between the two. It may affect the morale of the officers. "Don Wright wants to fight for his mentor one last time.

"In the past two years, the number of officials in the various administrative bodies of the kingdom has nearly tripled, and the number of police officers has likewise increased. "We need a large team of police officers to uphold the laws of the kingdom, and we also need an elite investigation team to clean up the corruption within the police force. ”

"I submitted the report on the establishment of the Inspection Division a year ago, so I am not opposed to the establishment of the Inspection Division. "The separation of the Customs Department from the police and the establishment of the Inspection Section should be done separately, not together. ”

"We don't have time. Pedi also strengthened his tone, "For a long time to come, we will all fight against the undead legions, and the police department is the key to ensuring the stability of our rear, I am not worried about the war on the frontal battlefield, the only thing that makes me uneasy is our rear, especially the Suker Plains and the Iruk Territory." ”

"Five years ago, the orcs and goblins, werewolves, and Baloo failed to defeat the Empire, but in the end, the Empire was destroyed in a civil war, and Emperor Laubert died an unknown death. Pedi's face gradually became serious, "During the battle against the Undead Legion, almost all of the forces in our hands were concentrated on the front line, and the war was the most uncontrollable. ”

"So... My request to the police department is simple: if there is an accident on the front line, there is absolutely no confusion in the rear. Pedi said and took out another document from his skin, "The inside of the police station must be kept clean, and the violations of law enforcement personnel cannot be spared, this is an authorization document, and in the future, unless there are special circumstances, the police department can deal with the chief of town-level affairs without going through the national situation analysis office." ”

Tang Wright instinctively stood up, he looked at the power of attorney handed over by the king, was silent for a moment, and then respectfully accepted it, and involuntarily recalled the king's words just now in his mind.

"I will set up an inspection bureau as soon as possible and complete the vetting of all full members of the police within six months. Don Wright didn't hesitate any longer.

"Yes!" Pei Di Ying looked at Don Wright with a happy smile on his face, and then fell on Bipp on the other side, who had roughly finished reading the plan in his hand at the moment.

"A good plan, Sir Denny has a unique idea. Feeling the king's gaze, Bipp immediately responded: "Now the kingdom has the Kru Domain, the Iruk Territory and the Suke Plain, and according to the plan of the Prime Minister's government, the three major territories will be divided into twenty territories in the next five years, and they will be managed by the government. ”

"In ten years, we can't consume more land. "The creation of a more detailed Dominion Bill is indeed a good proposal, but the key is how to govern?"

Sir Bipp's words made Pedi subconsciously nod his head, how to 'self-govern' the Dominion Territory is indeed a very big difficulty, and this is his biggest headache. If we follow the method of autonomy during the imperial period, it is better to do away with the highland steppes and the snow-capped mountains in the north.

Pedi's ideal idea was to retain only the political independence of the highland steppes. In other words, he could admit that the Highlands Prairie was the Barrett family's private 'land' and not a territory.

However, such an idea is impossible to realize in a short period of time, but it can be guided by law.

"For a long time to come, we will need to negotiate with the highland steppes and the northern snow, and I need the Prime Minister's government to be well prepared, and you must first determine the negotiation goals..."

For a long time to come, Pedi and Sir Bipp exchanged three hours about the imminent negotiations with Twak Heights, and the main topic of conversation was to determine the main objectives of the negotiations. Over the course of three hours, the conversation between the two men was recorded on a hundred pages.

"Your Majesty, has this negotiation brought Collar Covinde in as well?" said Sir Bipp, at the end of his conversation, suddenly bringing up a more sensitive topic.

After the failure of the last rebellion in the royal capital, Viscount Zerodin-Marne gradually withdrew from the political arena of the Covinde Domain, and then the investigation team set up by the Northern General Bureau was stationed in the Corvinde Territory to investigate and punish many nobles who violated the laws of the kingdom.

Half a year ago, Zerodine Marne was seriously ill and bedridden, transferring the title of viscount to Benedict Marne, who was less than four years old, and leaving his mother, Kunna Marne, in charge of the territory.

"Is the Covinde Territory a Dominion?" Pedi laughed, and laughed merrily.

"Yes. But Sir Bipp did not dare to laugh, nor could he laugh.

That's my answer. Pedi retracted his smile as he began to flip through the transcript of their conversation for the past three hours, with Sir Bipp and everyone around him silent.

"The regulations governing the Dominion Army," Pedi said, referring to their previous conversation, "I suddenly feel that the Dominion should be directly stripped of its recruiting privileges. ”

"This is a condition that even the Kingdom of Balu will not agree to, let alone the Duchy of Twak. Bill's face was serious, "Your Majesty, this condition will make people think that we are insincere. ”

"We can send troops directly to keep their territory safe. Pedi explained.

"The kingdom of Balu may agree that they now hate to have to fight every soldier and do their best to develop the country's economy. Bipp thought and analyzed, "But the Duke of Barrett will definitely refuse, and... Your Majesty, in the future we will have a grand war against the undead legions, we need more troops, and we will save a lot of money by maintaining the current armies of the Twak Heights and the Balu Kingdom. ”

"Okay. Peddy had a headache, he had been persuaded by Bipp just now, and now he remembered the financial problems that the kingdom was facing now.

"Your Majesty, you don't really care too much about the army, after we defeat the undead legion, the continent will usher in a long peace. Bipp said firmly: "When the time comes, even if you don't make restrictions, the Duchy of Twak will cut off most of their army, because they can't support that many soldiers on their own." ”

Pedi nodded thoughtfully, and he decisively skipped this point of discussion and continued to look at the other points.

After more than ten minutes, Pedy closed the file of their discussion and handed it to Sir Bipp, "According to what we have agreed before, give us a negotiation outline as soon as possible." ”

"Yes. ”

As Bipp sorted out his papers, Pedi stood up and moved his arms and other joints, which had been stiff from sitting for a long time, and sat down abruptly when he saw the sunset looming over the horizon.

"In the next six months, I need to establish a smooth logistics supply line within the kingdom, which can support the war supply of 300,000 troops. Pedi pulled out the report submitted by the staff office of the King's Office two days ago, "At the same time, the Northern Defense Bureau and the training camp of the Iruk Collar must ensure that there are enough reserve soldiers at all times. ”

Bipp recorded the king's request, calculated the cost of all this, and asked, "Your Majesty, how long do I need to know how long this will last?"

"Let's plan for three years. Pedi said a conservative time.

Bipp frowned, "With our national strength, there is indeed no problem in continuing the high-intensity war for another three years, but... Your Majesty, we also need to continue to invest in the Eluk Territory and the Suker Plains, and the teleportation array you planned earlier needs to be trimmed, which will cost no less than the war. ”

Pedi stared at Bipp's old little eyes, "You didn't say that before, you told me before that as long as there are no problems in our big rear, there can be no problems with the logistics of the army!"

"We're in charge of the mess on the Suke Plains right now..."

"The City Council has been fighting us for two years on the Suke Plain, is our situation worse than the City Council?" said Pei Di with a little sternness.

"Your Majesty, the City Council had the gratuitous help of the orcs at that time, as well as the covert assistance of the undead legions. "It's because of the city council's plundering of the Suke Plains over the past two years that it's the mess it has left behind. ”

"If we continue to follow the approach of the city councils, it will not take two years to make the plain completely irretrievable. Bipp did not compromise on the pressure of the king.
