What? As a manager, can't you collect taxes?

Of course, you can, but in a place like sarin, which is a poor country and can't even grow well, how much tax can be charged?

If you really rely on taxes to support yourself, you may only be able to live in a fortress full of sewage for the rest of your life, and you can't hold a banquet for a few years, and you can't even eat white bread and barbecue every day.

As a manager, as a minor aristocrat, who wants this?

If you don't want to, you naturally want to make some quick money.

And now, it may be that retribution is coming, and many of the ways they come to make quick money have been investigated by the new lord in the last few days.

So are they confessing and lenient, or are they resisting being severe?

Resistance is not advisable, and Maier is the end.

But being frank and lenient is not necessarily a bright road.

This new lord is so eccentric, what should have been a ceremony to swear allegiance, but it was made into such a meeting, who knows what he wants to do?

Maybe you want them all to take the initiative to say their crimes, and then clean them up in one go, so that they can install their cronies.

If so, they won't be fooled, at least not the first to be fooled.

In short, in any case, it is safest not to stand up and be a turtle with a shrunken head at the moment, and let's see what happens next.

In this way, several powerful managers, while trying to keep their heads down, looked around with their peripheral eyes to see if there were any brave pathfinders.

One second, two seconds, three seconds......

Time passed quickly, and after a few minutes, Richard repeated his previous words, and no one stood up, and Richard's face could be seen to change slightly.

"Doesn't anyone want to try it and become the deputy minister of efficiency?" asked Richard for the third time, his voice a little heavy.

Everyone in the audience felt the subtle change in the atmosphere in the words, and they hesitated, and several powerful managers began to consider whether to send a subordinate to stand up.

Whether it succeeds or not, at least it can prevent Richard from getting angry and save everyone from being unlucky in the end.

Thinking like this, I "brushed" and stood up alone.

As he stood up, he was still a little shaky, hesitant and nervous, but at the moment when he stood up completely, he was completely calm, and his legs were nailed to the ground as if they had taken root, motionless. With a straight body and eyes looking directly at Richard, he said word by word: "Lord Lord, I am willing to give it a try." ”

I saw that this man was in his fifties, his face was full of vicissitudes, his skin was rough, his hair was half a hundred, and he had obviously suffered a lot. Among them, there is a scar on the left side of his face, his nose is high, and his eyes are sharp, which is the person who stood up during the roll call just now, and is more like a bad person than a bad person.

Richard looked at the other party, but there was no surprise, and smiled: "Lynn Kate, huh?"

"Yes, my lord, Lynn Kate greets you, and I will definitely serve you with my whole life if I apply to become the deputy director of the efficiency department. Lynn said seriously.

"It's kind of interesting. Richard raised his eyebrows, "Originally, I thought you wouldn't dare to stand up, but I didn't expect you to make a decision anyway." ”

"So, have you considered me?" asked Lynn keenly grasping the information in his words.

Richard did not deny it: "Yes, I have considered you. But I've also considered a lot of people, and Maier was one of them, so ...... Whether you really become a deputy minister, or be the same as Mr. Mayr, depends on your performance. ”

"I see. Lynn nodded, grinned, showed some cold teeth, and said loudly, "I can accept this challenge, I am willing to answer all the questions of the adults, and if I am not satisfied with the answers, I am willing to be executed by the adults in any way." ”

"Very well, then we don't need to do any support survey, let's just start the Q&A. Richard said, "First of all, the first question, do you think that your wisdom is higher than that of Mr. Maier just now, and that you are suitable to be my subordinate?"

"I think so, my lord. ”

"Why?" asked Richard, "as far as I know, you and Mr. Meyer have been in close proximity to each other, and there have been armed skirmishes, and not only have your wife been snatched by the other side, but you have also been taken prisoner by the other side. After seven years in the other party's dungeon, he was released under the coordination of the rest of the managers, right?"

"Yes. Lynn nodded seriously, "This is indeed my experience, it is humiliating, but I am willing to admit it." I was defeated and taken prisoner, for reasons I didn't want to find, but Mel kept me in prison for seven years and didn't dare to kill me, and finally released me, to at least prove that I wasn't a completely useless fool.

The most important thing is that my jurisdiction is near his jurisdiction, which is much smaller than his, and my lord has been captured by him for seven years, but the territory has never been annexed by him, which shows that I still have some skills in governance. Of course, this is all about the former Sika Kingdom, and I don't think it makes sense to talk too much to the lord. I would like to talk about some of the changes since the league won and this place became 'sarin'.

In the course of this time, I have been in 'contact' with Mr. Meyer many times, and have eaten up almost one-twentieth of his area of administration by some small means. Moreover, I have been recruiting caravans and caravans that have fled from other areas because of the problem of the thieves. ”

"It's kind of interesting, I wonder how you did it?" asked Richard.

"Back to my lordship, in fact, I'm the same as Maier in this regard, and I use the thieves. ”

When the rest of the audience heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned and looked at Lynn in surprise.

Lynn said with an unchanged face: "But the difference between me and Mr. Maier is that he uses the thieves in his own territory and robs his own people, while I use the thieves in other people's territory and robs other people's territory, of course, mainly in Mr. Mayer's jurisdiction.

I just used the thieves to encroach on some areas he didn't care about but actually had a certain defensive value, and transferred the source of wealth, the caravan, to the plan. ”

Taking a deep breath, Lynn clenched his hands into fists, looked directly at Richard, and said, "I know that the Lord hates to use the Bandit to disrupt the caravan trade, but I did it before I met the Lord of Lords. At that time, I was not loyal to my lord, I was not loyal to anyone, I only thought about myself, so I did everything.

However, when the adults come, it is different, if the adults are willing to accept me, then I am the loyal slave of the adults. I will definitely consider the whole sarin, and I will no longer use low-level means such as the thieves group, and I will try to make sarin what adults want!"

"But whatever!" Lynn's teeth gritted and her eyes widened, "I won't deny that I'm a bad person—I'm just as bad as a lot of people sitting here, if not worse than them. And, most likely, I will remain a bad person in the future—I am a loyal servant of adults, but at the same time a bad person—it is my nature.

As you have said before, loyalty and wisdom are important as subordinates. But it is not said where justice stands. If the adults feel that justice trumps everything, then kill me, and I have no complaints.

And if the adults think that justice is nothing more than bullshit, then please let me be the deputy minister directly, and don't think about the support of a bunch of cowards in this hall. In that case, I will definitely use all my strength to be efficient for adults, and if I can't complete the tasks assigned by adults, I don't need to do anything with adults, and I'd rather commit suicide to apologize. ”

In the end, Lynn's eyes were red, like an angry lion looking at Richard.

No, it's more like a hyena that has been hungry for many days, old and injured, but refuses to admit defeat.
