Originally, the seven people thought that as long as they all refused, this matter would not have to be spread on their heads. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After all, Tai'an City has just fallen, and in this case, it is not difficult to understand what the meaning of "maintaining law and order in Tai'an City" is. This kind of drudgery, as long as a sensible person would not want to provoke him. Therefore, Wang Chengen and others can reach a consensus on this without consultation.

But these seven people obviously still think about the problem too simply.

Hearing this, Wei Xiang's face was solemn, and he said sharply: "When did I say that I invited you? This is an order! From today onwards, you are members of the Tai'an Local Council, and your main duty is to convey the Tai'an people's will to us. At the same time, you are also obliged to convey any instructions of the Executive Bureau to the residents of Tai'an. ”

Seeing that Wei Xiang's face changed drastically and his tone was stern, Wang Chengen and the others suddenly couldn't help but feel shocked!

At this moment, the seven of them realized what a mistake they had actually made!

They almost forgot, but how could they forget -- Tai'an City has changed its national flag! Now, the people who call the shots are no longer the official government of the Xia State, and they are no longer the ordinary people of the Xia Kingdom.

For a moment, none of the seven dared to speak, let alone look at Wei Xiang. But Wei Xiang stared at the seven people without saying a word, and he also didn't say a word with a cold light in his eyes.

The two sides were silent for a while, and Wang Chengen had no choice but to cautiously try to break the deadlock, and asked Wei Xiang: "My lord, what is the Administrative Bureau?"

Since you asked, it proves that you are mentally prepared. You don't need to know too much about the affairs of the Executive Bureau, you just need to do your duty and complete the tasks assigned to you. If you want to understand its functions, to put it simply, it is actually the same as the original Tai'an County Ya, and the director of the administrative bureau is equivalent to the county order. So, can you understand?" Wei Xiang did not directly explain Wang Chengen's question, but only gave an explanation briefly.

"My lord, I see. Wang Chengen nodded in response, not daring to have any more doubts.

"So do you know what to do?" Wei Xiang asked.

Wang Chengen immediately responded and said: "I know, whatever the administrative bureau tells us to do, we will do anything." ”

"Your words are summed up quite well!" Hearing Wang Chengen's words, Wei Xiang smiled meaningfully, and then continued: "However, you have forgotten one thing, the parliamentarians also have to take turns to work, listen to the opinions of the people, visit to determine the authenticity of the people's opinions, and then tell the Executive Bureau. For example, if the people think that the roads in Tai'an City are very poor and want a smooth road, then you need to pass this opinion to the Civil Affairs Bureau. At the same time, parliamentarians should also add some personal thoughts of their own. In other words, you need to be loyal to your duties, and you must be conscientious and responsible for any work within the scope of your duties. ”

Wei wanted to point out to Wang Chengen and others the scope of responsibilities they needed to be clear, that is, to let them know where they had to pay special attention in the future.

"My lord, is the councilor an official of the Xinghua Empire?" Hearing Wei Xiang's words, a strange light suddenly flashed in Wang Chengen's eyes, and he seemed to have thought of something, and asked Wei Xiang again.

"Parliament is a government agency, and members of parliament are naturally officials. Wei Xiang didn't mind telling them this, because even if they didn't say it in the moment, they would know in the future that there was nothing to hide, as long as they didn't have any wrong thoughts that they shouldn't have, worked diligently, and were loyal to the empire, the empire wouldn't treat them badly after all.

"My lord, I would like to be a councillor. Wei Xiang's words really succeeded in inspiring Wang Chengen, making Wang Chengen seem to see a bright prospect where he could start a new life and rise to the top. In contrast, it would be too irrational to remain stubborn and disobey the Xinghua Empire, which already controlled the city of Tai'an, or to think that he could be left alone under the protection of the old country.

As the saying goes, those who know the times are Junjie, and now that the facts have been decided, Wang Chengen certainly understands what he should choose.

Therefore, Wang Chengen immediately expressed his mind to Wei Xiang with a very clear attitude.

Seeing this, Wei Xiang nodded with satisfaction. Regardless of whether Wang Chengen has any small abacus of his own, as long as he can understand what he should do now, Wei Xiang is still acceptable.

Striking while the iron was hot, Wei Xiang then looked at the other six people and asked, "So, what about you?"

"I'm also willing to be a councilor!" The other six people, seeing that Wang Chengen had already made a statement, they followed one after another and made a choice.

"Good. Now, the parliament also needs to appoint a speaker to be responsible for coordinating the work, Wang Chengen, you are the speaker. Wei Xiang then added.

This is also a position that needs to be set today, but Wei Xiang originally had no suitable candidate in his heart to arrange for this position, but seeing that Wang Chengen's performance just now was quite good and his attitude was clear, he suddenly had an idea and directly designated Wang Chengen as the speaker of the parliament to preside over the work of the Tai'an Local Council. Moreover, Wang Chengen was familiar enough with Tai'an City, and it was naturally more appropriate to appoint him as the chairman of the Tai'an Council than to select someone from the Xinghua Empire.

Of course, this is also preliminarily determined, whether it can be used as a fixed arrangement in the future, and whether Wang Chengen's words and deeds will continue to be observed, and whether he is willing to be loyal to the Xinghua Empire as he himself has expressed.

Suddenly receiving Wei Xiang's appointment, Wang Chengen was surprised, and then his heart was overjoyed! For a while, his heart was surging, and he didn't realize that his voice had also raised a little, but his eyes lit up, and he replied firmly: "Please rest assured, Cheng'en will definitely be loyal to his duty!"

Seeing this, Wei Xiang smiled slightly, and he already had a certain number in his heart. Obviously, this Wang Chengen is really an official fan. However, Wei Xiang would not despise Wang Chengen. Wang Chengen's initiative is undoubtedly beneficial to the Xinghua Empire. Moreover, the more people like Wang Chengen, it is easier to ensure that he is loyal to the Xinghua Empire and will not produce any moths. As long as in the future, people like Wang Chengen can be safe and disciplined, loyal to their duties, and make contributions to the Xinghua Empire, they can be moderately rewarded for meritorious deeds, or promoted to an official position.

After arranging Wang Chengen, when Wei Xiang looked at the other people, he saw that the expressions on the faces of these people were very complicated, and they seemed to regret their inaction, and they seemed to feel uneasy and worried.

Wei Xiang can probably guess what they are thinking in their hearts, nothing more than that, they may regret that they did not grasp the opportunity as well as Wang Chengen, but let Wang Chengen become the speaker and rob the good errand; or they are also worried, worried that they have now accepted the appointment of the Xinghua Empire, but in case the Xia army may still counterattack back and really recapture Tai'an City, these people who have become traitors to the Xia Kingdom will be settled by the Xia Kingdom after the autumn.

If he just regretted that he didn't grab a good errand, then Wei Xiang didn't plan to pay attention to it, but he also thought from the complicated expressions and worried looks of these people that it was necessary to solemnly explain some problems to these people.

Therefore, Wei Xiang said: "The Xia army was defeated, and the Xinghua army pursued the victory, and what they wanted was the entire Jiangzhou." Therefore, you do not have to worry about your safety. Your office is in the courtyard next door to the county government...... The announcement of your appointment as a member of the parliament will be plastered all over Taean City at dawn. ”

When these people heard Wei Xiang's words, although they didn't seem more relaxed because of this, they seemed to gradually accept the facts in front of them.

Then, Wei Xiang issued a councilor card to each of Wang Chengen's seven people, and continued: "With a councilor card, you can enter and leave Tai'an City freely without restrictions. ”

Wei Xiang handed over the councilor's cards to Wang Chengen and the seven people, and told them: At 8:30 tomorrow morning, they must visit the director of the bureau in the administrative bureau, and the director will give them some tasks. With that, Wei Xiang waved them away.

Wang Chengen and the others left, and Wei wanted to sort out the brief of the councillor and order a soldier to bring it to the new director of the Tai'an Administrative Bureau, Fei Luomon.

Feromon is a businessman at the Xinghua Chamber of Commerce. Different from ordinary businessmen of the Xinghua Chamber of Commerce, in addition to running a business, Ferromon also has a special task - his business, which must always follow the Xinghua army. That is to say, no matter where the Xinghua Army hits, the goods of the Xinghua Chamber of Commerce must be laid wherever they are, and all matters are the responsibility of Ferromon. In addition, Ferromon is also responsible for helping the Xinghua Army prepare grain and grass, ensuring that the Xinghua Army has sufficient supply of grain and grass at any time, and ensuring the logistics part of the war.

In fact, what Pheromon did is not a precedent. Because of the lack of administrative personnel in the Xinghua Empire, there had been a corresponding practice before, and the merchants of the Xinghua Chamber of Commerce also had to help the Xinghua Army manage the occupied areas in the occupied areas. Of course, correspondingly, the Xinghua Army also has the obligation to protect the personal safety of the Xinghua Chamber of Commerce personnel and ensure that all the business operations of the Xinghua Chamber of Commerce personnel in the occupied areas will not be attacked and sabotaged by the enemy.

The county government was shelled, and it was almost in ruins, and it must not be used for office.

Therefore, the Tai'an Administrative Bureau of the Xinghua Empire was set up in a large mansion less than 20 meters away from the county office. The Taean Local Council is right next door to the Executive Bureau.

"These are the seven councillors? It doesn't feel good, can they cooperate with our work? After all, we are aggressors. "Feromon has some feelings of distrust of the local council formed by the Imperial Intelligence Service.

"Don't worry, they are all people with families and businesses in Tai'an City. They don't dare not cooperate with the Executive Bureau, what are you going to do next?" Wei Xiang said.

"Tai'an City cannot completely rely on the Xinghua Army to maintain law and order, and the Administrative Bureau must recruit a group of local joint defense teams to specifically maintain law and order in the city and crack down on petty thieves and gangsters. Feromon said.

"It's not a simple matter to form a local joint defense team! How can you ensure that there are no people in the joint defense team who are hostile to the Empire?" Wei thought to himself.

"Originally, I didn't think of any way, but the criteria for forming a council and selecting members made me feel uncomfortable. The selection criteria for joint defense team members are naturally to have a family and a job, so they will not make mistakes easily. As long as they don't make mistakes and their hearts are on the old country, it doesn't matter. As long as the empire continues to win, the joint defense team will gradually return to their hearts. In order to keep their hard-won jobs, they will work harder. Ferromon said.

Wei Xiang smiled and said, "Okay, I'll give you a list." Or, you give me a list and we'll investigate. ”

"Okay, that's it. Ferromon said.

Wei Xiang smiled and left the administrative bureau.

The next day, at nine o'clock in the morning, the Xinghua Army held a grand ceremony to enter the city.

Early in the morning, all the residents of the city were shouted by Xinghua soldiers, informing every household that a person must appear on both sides of the street to watch the ceremony of entering the city.

The Xinghua Army's move is obviously not for the sake of looking good on the surface, let alone self-hypnosis, but to show the residents of Tai'an the military appearance of the Xinghua Army. As the saying goes, there is contrast, and there will be harm. If the performance of the Xia army is not as good as that of the Xinghua army, the people will definitely have confidence in the Xinghua army. Conversely, the effect will be reversed. However, Lyon believed that the Xinghua army was definitely stronger than the Xia army, and would leave a deep impression on the hearts of the residents of Tai'an.

Bang, bang...... After the nine cannon salutes, Leon led 10,000 soldiers of the Xinghua Army and began to enter the city.

Ten thousand soldiers, in a column of six, walked from the main gate in unison.

Although there was no military band, the neat steps of the Xinghua soldiers still trampled firmly and powerfully, and made rhythmic clattering sounds.

Every sound is knocking on the residents of Tai'an City.

Peaceful, very quiet.

Thousands of residents, silently watching the soldiers of the Xinghua Army, had mixed feelings in their hearts.

In the First World War of Tai'an, the townsmen of Tai'an died the most.

However, their defeat meant that Tai'an City lost the courage to continue to resist. Now, the expectation of most residents is that the king will come and regain the land.

The entry ceremony of the Xinghua army greatly shocked the people of Tai'an City. In particular, some landlords and gentry have restrained some of their ambitions.

The most touching and contradictory are the seven members of the Taean Local Council. Now, they are forced to serve as parliamentarians, and they are considered to be on a thief ship.

If the Xinghua Army fails, Wang Chengen and they will inevitably be sacrificed by their families, come out to take the blame, and become traitors. Therefore, they are very conflicted, and some do not want the Xinghua army to fail.

Leon walked into Tai'an City, climbed the city gate tower, and felt relieved to see the Xinghua soldiers enter the city. As a commander-in-chief, Leon would not easily appear in public to avoid becoming a target for the Xia Assassins. However, he didn't want to miss the ceremony of entering the city, so he watched the Xinghua army enter the city and the reaction of the residents of Tai'an City from the tower of the city gate.

Fortunately, although the expressions of the residents of Tai'an City were a little complicated, most of them still calmly accepted the fact that the Xinghua Army ruled Tai'an City. Lyon is still more than happy to see this situation. (To be continued.) )
