Benny himself hadn't expected to receive such a warm welcome, and what he was doing in Kalimdor should mean nothing to most people aside. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"How's Stratholm doing?" Benny walked down the street with Gavinrad and Fordin, saluting the people around him.

"Everything is going according to plan, it's just -----" Folding muttered. "The resettlement program in Tirisfa and Andohar districts is progressing quite slowly. ”

"Expected. Benny nodded. "When Your Excellency the Prophet and His Majesty Kael'thas return from the Western Wilderness, things will be fine. ”

"Then it's just a matter of the Chaplaincy College. Foding laughed. "It's been two months since the college was built, and the first batch of students have all been stationed there, so there's no shortage of your 'textbooks'. ”

"It's not something you can do in a day or two. Benny shook his head helplessly.

"It's time for you to get out of the way. Gavinrad said with a serious face. "The generals of the army have issued a serious protest against your charging behavior----- that is their duty!"

"Okay. Benny laughed. "I'll be idle for a while. "If you're not idle, you can't help him.

"Count Leah?" Fordin suddenly called out to the paladin who was leading the way, with some confusion. "It doesn't seem like the way to Smith's house. ”

"That's what I meant. Benny said. "It just so happens that all the officials are here, so let's go directly to the council hall. ”

"But ---- you should rest. "Of course Fordin got the news of Benny's injury, he just didn't know what the situation was like with Benny's injury.

"It doesn't matter. Benny smiled and raised his hand at Liadrin, and the countess nodded and walked on.

Fordin and Gavinrad glanced at each other, and both shook their heads helplessly and followed.

The conference hall was not far away, and everyone quickly arrived there, and looked up at the door of the council hall, which was the same as when they left, except that it was much larger than the surrounding houses, there was no essential difference.

"Sit down. Benny looked at the people standing.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and they sat down in their seats one after another.

"Count Agamande. ”

"Your Excellency, Great Lord!" Agamande stood up and saluted.

"I see that the military zone has been demolished, right?"

"Yes. Count Agamand nodded. "Construction of the new commercial building has also begun, and it is expected to be completed in two months, and the interior decoration will be borne by the purchaser of the shop. ”

"Not bad. Benny nodded. "Has the auction of the shops started?"

"Not yet. Agamand said. "We plan to start the auction in a week. ”

"Is the price set?"

"The preliminary decision is to start at 1,000 gold coins, and the closer you are to the dock, the higher the price increases, up to no more than 1,500 gold coins. "This is a preliminary plan based on the price of the shop last time, and the reason why the auction needs to be held a week later is to wait for the big lord to make a final decision, and in the land sale, no one except the big lord, including Fodin and Gavin Rad, dare to make a decision privately.

"On top of the original price, increase by 50%!"

Benny's words made Gavin Rad smack.

"Your Excellency, isn't this ------ too high?"

"I have signed a comprehensive trade agreement with the tribe in Kalimdor. Banny raised his hand, and the guards behind him handed out the information that Benny had just given him to each of the officers.

"Throw this news out, and tell the merchants by the way, that I need several agents, who will act for the trade of daily necessities with the tribe and the trade in timber and furs, and that the ships, personnel, and so on shall be provided by the agents, and the remuneration shall be ten percent of the amount of profits. ”

"Ten percent?!" Agamande was startled. "Isn't that too much, Your Excellency, Great Lord?" Trade between countries, one thousandth is a terrifying number, ten percent----- that is a figure that most people can't imagine in their lifetime!

"This is not a very generous reward, Earl Agamande. Benny said. "Just as I said, pass the news to the Chamber of Commerce, let them distribute the trade volume themselves, and then have their chosen agent come to see me in a week's time. "Ten percent is a lot, but it's also to make those businessmen 'self-conscious', and if something really goes wrong in the future, they won't have anything to say when dealing with them.

"Yes!" Agamande bowed his head, what the Great Lord decided, he only needed to carry it out, he could make suggestions, but he could not have opinions. At this point, Agamande was quite self-conscious.

Benny nodded, and Agamand slowly sat back in his seat.

"Baron Boone!"

"Your Excellency!" the lean tax officer saluted with the neatness of a soldier, he was also a soldier of Lordaeron before he became a merchant, but he had forgotten about those things for a long time, but he knew that His Excellency the Great Lord liked soldiers very much.

"Has the most recent tax audit been completed?"

"It's done. Boone pulled out a document, and the guards took it and handed it to Benny.

"There's also a financial audit. ”

Agamande hurriedly took out a document and handed it over.

"Taxes have increased by seventeen percent in two months, and yet ----- balance is still less than fifty thousand gold coins a month?" Benny's brow furrowed, and Agamande's heart tightened.

"This is because the funds used by the Ministry of Research and the Ministry of Education have also been increasing, Your Excellency!" Agamande explained with a straight face. "You said that funding for the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Research must not be delayed for any reason. ”

"That's true. Foding on the side said. "Most of the funds of the Ministry of Education are spent on the construction of the college, and the research department -----" Fordin looked at the dwarf who was sitting not far away.

"We're working on the latest type of flying machine, Your Excellency, Great Lord!" the gnome stood in his chair and saluted like a nobleman. "According to your request, our flying machine uses the latest alloy that the dwarven craftsmen have just researched!Most of the funds are spent here, and the alloy used to forge the energy transmission pipeline is very, very, very expensive, Your Excellency, Great Lord!" the dwarf used three times in a row to increase his persuasiveness.

"Looks like you're making progress?" Benny asked, he didn't know where the gnomes had come in their research, but judging from the fact that they had already begun to study energy transmission, it wasn't necessarily a small progress.

"It will surprise you, Your Excellency!" the dwarf waved his hands, his face excited and proud.

"If it's already flying, then I will. Benny laughed.

"No, no, no. The gnome shook his head. "That's not just flying!"

"I can't wait for what you say!" Benny pressed his hand. "But we'll have to wait to see the craft. ”

"Of course, Your Excellency, Great Lord. The dwarf jumped out of his chair and sat back in his seat.

"As for the rest-----" Benny looked around at the crowd. "You're all busy, so we won't waste time here!"

Benny stood up, and the crowd followed suit.

"The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Research, the Ministry of Education, and other military departments will send all the materials you have recently collected to my office!"

"Yes!"

"Adjournment!"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Outside Stratholme, the new military district.

The existence of the Intelligence Department was no secret in Dawn of Light, and everyone, including civilians, knew that such a department existed, however, when they were asked to describe what the personnel of this department were like, they could not say anything, and most of the gossip circulating in the tavern was nothing more than the drunks who made it up for someone to treat them.

In fact, the Intelligence Department has a very clear division of labor and division in the 'Dawn Light', and the external intelligence and internal inventory are two completely different departments in charge, and those so-called Zero and No. 1 are actually only external intelligence officers. The real intelligence agents are more secretive----- usually, they're actually someone close to you.

"How's the progress of Ravenhold Manor?" Benny was sitting in the headquarters of the Ministry of Intelligence----- a place in the 'New Military District', located in the deepest part of the barracks, hidden in a cave dug by the dwarves, it was no different from other barracks, only when you entered this barracks, you could know that there was a hole in the interior of the Ministry of Intelligence.

"Very slowly, Your Excellency!" Six was the informant in charge of the Ravenhod infiltration. "The organization is tight, but at the same time loose, and after months of contact, we have been able to determine that they are not a 'linear' organization, but a 'reticulated' organization!"

The so-called mesh, hence the name, the existence of this organization is like a huge spider web, one by one by countless points connected to form this organization, each line is independent, only through this point, the line will be connected with each other!

That is to say, this so-called organization does not have a tight, bottom-up management system, and the affairs of this organization are decided by the local leaders of the organization, and the higher affairs------ as far as Benny knows, Ravenhold has a council of seventy-two people to decide these, and the real leaders ----- not at all!

"Will anyone be able to get into the upper echelons of this organization?"

"It's already touched!" Six nodded, his pale blue eyes lit up under his mask. "Forty-Five suddenly came out of our field of vision two weeks ago under the guise of a mission, but he left a secret message ------ he was chosen by the higher-ups of the 'League of Assassins'!"

"Very well!" Benny nodded, knowing that the so-called 'League of Assassins' was this Ravenhold, and that their ability to enter its hierarchy was a testament to the fact that they had trained intelligence officers who were not bad!

"Don't be in a hurry about this matter, try to get more people into the upper echelons!"

The mesh organizational structure gives Benny the best loophole----- he can master all of Ravenhold by mastering every point, thanks to the 'Brian Adventure Notes' that Zero sent back from Silisus! )
