Chapter 318: Maintaining the Status Quo

Although Wallace's words were extremely unwilling, the current situation did not allow him to have a second choice.

Zhang Tianjiu still had a calm face, and he didn't see any joy at all, taking back the jurisdiction of Nolei City was a matter of reversal for him, no matter whether Wallace surrendered or resisted to the end, the result would not change anything.

Hearing Wallace's softening, the rest of the dozen or so officials all showed a look of mourning on their faces, one by one like frosted eggplants, with a calm face and their heads bowed.

The luxurious life of a good end with an income of more than one billion Galaxy coins per month was completely disrupted by Zhang Tianjiu as soon as he came, and it was strange that he didn't hate this bald guy in his heart.

Of course, no matter how big this hatred is, they only dare to hide it in the depths of their hearts and will not reveal it at all.

Zhang Tianjiu's force is actually so strong that even Tsukasa Tiger is not his opponent, who else in the entire Noray City can suppress him?

Even if the armed guards were transferred over to encircle and suppress them, it would be useless.

Unless we shoot a missile directly at the city hall now, everyone will die together.

Zhang Tianjiu took a cigarette in his mouth, sat down on the main seat of the conference table with a big grin, looked up at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Two things, first, how much money you have made in the past few months, all of them will be spit out, one point less, Lao Tzu will smash his head, do you hear clearly?"

This sentence is categorical, and there is no room for negotiation at all.

Everyone present looked gloomy, but they were helpless.

Even his own life is in the hands of others, what is the point of still holding on to the money, it is estimated that as long as someone dares to shake his head, he will be regarded as a prestigious object on the spot.

This group of people has been in officialdom all year round, where can they not understand this truth.

To put it seriously, their behavior is treason, if it really falls into the hands of the Weixi royal family, even if they surrender, the entire family will have to be connected, and at the moment, Zhang Tianjiu at least seems to have no intention of killing.

"Heard ......"

"Hear me clearly. ”

After a long time, under Zhang Tianjiu's fierce gaze, a sparse answer sounded in the conference room.

Zhang Tianjiu didn't bother to delve into it, whether they were willing to answer this answer, whether they would turn their heads and change their hexagrams, anyway, he had already put his words down, and he was not afraid of death, even if he did it against him.

After saying the cruel words, Zhang Jiuye changed his face and said with a smile: "Now the second thing, everyone, are there any people who are willing to stay here?" ”

Can you stay in office?

Everyone present couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

As the so-called son of heaven and a courtier, since Zhang Tianjiu has taken over the management of Nolei City, shouldn't he immediately arrange his henchmen to take the position, how can he still be willing to keep their positions?

Of course, this group of people didn't know that Zhang Jiuye, who seemed to be majestic, was actually a bare-bones commander, and there was not even a single available person under his command except for Sandrina and the more than a hundred monks.

Keeping the current positions of this group of people is also the best choice out of desperation.

After all, they are all serious officials of the Weixi Empire, and they are very familiar with everything in Norley City, unlike the promotion of new officials, who have to go through a period of running-in to be competent.

At present, the Noray Star, after experiencing the baptism of war, has already been riddled with holes, and at a time when a hundred ruins are waiting to be rebuilt, the most important key is to restore the city's vitality as soon as possible while maintaining stability.

Zhang Tianjiu may not be a competent high-ranking official, but he can at least guarantee that under his personal supervision, these government officials with evil intentions will not have the ability to make trouble even if they want to.

"I, I...... Willing"

Soon, a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses raised his hand tremblingly.

Zhang Tianjiu glanced at him, didn't ask more, just nodded with a smile, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

With the first person taking the lead, everyone's enthusiasm suddenly soared, and one by one they scrambled to raise their hands to express their wishes, as if they had completely forgotten what had happened just a few minutes ago.

Although there may not be the luxurious life of lying down and making money like before, it is better to be able to stay in the city hall than to be an ordinary citizen of Noray City.

Wallace's face sank and he was dripping.

In fact, he didn't want to raise his hand, but he really couldn't pull it off, and in his opinion, Zhang Tianjiu might not care about other official positions, but the important position of mayor must be held by the most trusted henchman, even if he is willing to stay, it is impossible for people to agree, so why bring humiliation on himself.

Not surprisingly, five minutes later, a dozen or so people, except for Wallace, raised their hands and expressed their willingness to remain in office.

Zhang Tianjiu nodded with satisfaction, at least that way, he didn't have to think about how to fill the official vacancy.

Taking a puff of his cigar, Zhang Tianjiu looked at Wallace with a smile and said with a smile: "Mr. Mayor, it seems that you have other arrangements for yourself?"

Wallace snorted and said, "Why should the Governor make fun of me, since you are here, does the town hall still have a place for me?" ”

Zhang Tianjiu showed a playful smile on his face and said, "It's true that I'm the governor of Nolei Star, but Noray City still needs a mayor, what do you think?"

Wallace rolled his eyes and sneered, "What does the Governor mean, are you willing to let me stay in office, so that you are not afraid that I will make trouble for you behind my back?"

Anyway, he has nothing now, so he simply breaks the jar and breaks it, and he is not afraid of offending Zhang Tianjiu.

Zhang Tianjiu looked at Wallace and said indifferently: "Of course I'm not afraid, it depends on whether you have the courage to do so." ”

Wallace suddenly raised his head, his face showing a hint of surprise.

He thought that Zhang Tianjiu was deliberately ridiculing himself just now, so he ridiculed him, but now it seems that he really has the intention of letting him stay as mayor?

"Your Excellency the Governor, are you really at ease that I will continue to govern Norley City?"

Wallace repeated his previous words, but this time his tone was less sarcastic than the original, but more cautious.

Zhang Tianjiu smiled and said bluntly: "I have long known what you have been doing in Nolei City these days, except for the 20% tax rate, you are quite competent in other aspects, otherwise you think you can still stand and talk to me now?"

This is the truth, after unilaterally announcing his separation from the Weixi Empire, although Wallace also took his subordinates to make a lot of money, he finally retained the bottom line of being a man, and did not make Noray City to the point of miasma and misery like the other two forces, on the contrary, he also managed the city in an orderly manner, and everything was on the right track of development.

If it weren't for this reason, Zhang Tianjiu didn't bother to waste so much time in the conference room, and directly treated the city hall like a gangster organization in Uma City.

Wallace's expression changed several times in a row, obviously not expecting Zhang Tianjiu to say such a thing.

The evaluation of the word "competent" made him feel inexplicably excited.

For a moment, Wallace's lips squirmed for a long time, but he never said a word.

"Okay, you issue a city-wide announcement, spread the news of my appointment, and then return the money you and your subordinates have earned, and the tax policy will be restored to ......the previous state, so be it!

Zhang Tianjiu didn't wait for Wallace's reply, stood up straight, gave a few simple and clear instructions, and left the conference room without looking back.

I believe that after today's scene, this group of people will know how to judge the situation and honestly manage Nolei City for him.

If someone still doesn't know what to do, then he can't live because of his own sin, and he can't complain that he is a killer.

Zhang Tianjiu had just walked on his front foot, and Tsukasa Hu, who was standing in place in a daze, only hesitated slightly, and immediately strode after him.

Wallace sat down, sighed with a complicated expression, and said, "Let's draft an announcement." ”

……

In just two days, the cities of Uma and Norre were reclaimed by the new governor in one fell swoop, which made the pirates of Mali feel more and more uneasy.

In the conference room, the three pirate leaders gathered again to discuss countermeasures.

"Damn! I can't wait any longer, what is the static braking, I think it's better to attack automatically, and now send a fleet to sweep those two cities to see what that guy named Zhang Tianjiu is capable of"

Abdul-Jabbar, who was hot-tempered, slapped the table hard and stood up.

"Sick Tiger" didn't say anything about Jesse's still gloomy look, but glanced at the red-haired man and asked, "Jason, what is your opinion?"

Jason seemed to have long been accustomed to Jesse's style, and said calmly: "With the strength of our current fleet, it is of course not a problem to break through the anti-aircraft fire of Uma City and Noray City, but what if Zhang Tianjiu takes advantage of our attack and the interior is empty, what if Zhang Tianjiu occupies Mali City?"

Jabal suddenly sneered: "Jason, what nonsense are you talking about, did you see Zhang Tianjiu taking office with the fleet? Why did he occupy Mali City." ”

Jason looked at him and asked, "What about the coup d'Γ©tat in Uma City and Noray City?"

"This ......"

Abdul-Jabbar was dumbfounded.

After holding it for a long time, he retorted angrily: "Didn't you still say yesterday that someone inside them was bribed?"

Jason shook his head and said, "Now I have changed my opinion, the situation in Noray City is different from Uma, the people who control the city government are originally some local officials, I have not heard of any internal contradictions, and there is no shortage of money, and there is almost no possibility of being bought." ”

Abdul-Jabbar sneered as he snorted as a cigar, "Then you mean to say that they found out in their conscience that they surrendered to the royal family of Vesy on their own initiative?"

Although the city of NorrΓ© announced that it would accept the administration of the new governor, and the city government also refunded all the hundreds of billions of dollars in taxes looted in the past few months, the strange thing is that there has been no change in the position of officials, and it remains the same.

This is also where the pirates are completely confused.
