With a wordless wry smile, Coolford patted her on the head and said, "Do you think I'm that stupid?" I've just been pretending to be confused with him, the county guard is my immediate boss in the end, and we are still working together, can I offend him casually? ”

Winnie breathed a long sigh of relief, smiled sweetly, and began to sell cuteness again: "People are just worried about the master." ”

Immediately afterwards, Clifford said something that made her messy for a while, and said: "However, I can also see today that this guy of the county guard is inextricably linked with those big tax evaders. If only he had been at peace with me, but if he had made me a stumbling block, I would have brought him down. ”

Seeing his decisive appearance, Winnie tightened her body, grabbed Clifford's arm, and said faintly: "Master, the slave believes in your strength, but please be careful, even if it is not for anything else, please consider it for the sake of our three sisters." ”

Collieford's heart warmed, to be honest, he has gone from a hostage step by step to today, the three sisters and those who are related to him can be said to be his closest people, he didn't have the courage to face the scene of their accident, hugged Wei Ni's little waist, and said, "Don't worry, Winnie." I'm going to be measured, we're going to be okay all the time, and nothing happens to anyone. Okay, don't talk about it outside, let's go back quickly, everyone is still waiting for us. ”

"Yes, sir." Winnie nodded lightly and followed Clifford back to the inn.

In the post house, all the core personnel gathered in the lobby, and the fate of Clifford was closely related to them, so they were eager to know everything about Clifford as soon as possible, and when they saw him come back, they hurriedly surrounded him and asked, "Master, how is the situation?" ”

Clifford didn't answer them directly, walked to the middle seat in the room and sat down, and said lightly: "Lord County Keeper asked me to eat the 100,000 yuan, and I promised him." ”

"What?" Yasan was the first to quit, he was the Chancellor of the Exchequer appointed by Clifford, he didn't know that firewood and rice were expensive, and others didn't know how difficult it was to get money, but he had a personal experience, 100,000 ah, even if their team saved money for several years, they couldn't save this money, walked up to Clifford, bowed, and said a little excitedly: "Master, how can you promise them?" This is obviously a trap they have set for you. ”

The grumpy Elkeson was also angry, and his cheeks puffed out and said, "That's it! Master, they are bullying you young, we can't just promise them, go to them early tomorrow morning to theorize! ”

"That's right! Find them theories! "There was a lot of emotion in the hall, and they were all very upset that Collie Fu had been plotted by the county guard and Sanji for no reason, and they were in danger of going to them to settle accounts now.

Collie was speechless, this group of subordinates used to be so grumpy, I didn't see it before, he wanted to explain to them, but he was blocked by their noise.

In the end, Sophia was attentive, and saw that Clifford had something to say, so she immediately stood up to stop everyone and said: "Don't get excited, the master must have his reasons for doing this, we might as well listen to the master's opinion first." ”

Sophia is the leader of the Shadow Group, and the chief of guard of Clifford, coupled with the grace of being accepted into the room by Clifford, it is still very powerful to speak in this group of teams with the Shadow Organization as the main force, and everyone heard her words, and they all closed their mouths in unison, and the hall was silent for a while.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Collie had a chance to speak, and said with a smile: "Don't be impatient, you guys, I didn't bear the debt of 100,000 yuan in vain." The county keeper has promised me to give me the wasteland in the south of the city, and I will build a large weaving mill there in the future, and the money will be earned back in a short time. What's more, this 100,000 yuan was not given to others for free, it was borrowed by Bruce, and with an IOU in hand, we can ask him to come back, how can it be regarded as a loss? ”

Coming back? When the subordinates heard Clifford say this, they were all confused, they still knew who Bruce was, that was the dignified former Minister of Personnel, and his protégés were all over the world, asking him for money? him off, and he can unleash a bunch of officials to impeach you.

After hearing Coolford's words, Olivia, who is also old, couldn't help but worry secretly, secretly glanced at Winnie, who was standing next to Clifford, and after getting her daughter's confirmation nod, she immediately stepped forward and admonished: "Master, we have just come to Heihe County to take office, and our foothold is not stable. Bruce used to be a member of the kingdom, and his protégés were all over the world, so I don't think we should provoke them. Let's find a way to spend the 100,000 yuan during our tenure. With your winemaking skills and Winnie's weaving skills, the days when that money will be paid off are not far away. ”

"yes, yes. Master, we have finally come to this point, it is better to be a little more stable, not to be too aggressive, and lose all the things that we won before. All his men echoed Olivia's opinion, and the hall resounded with a burst of admonition.

Collie smiled faintly, he actually understood the mood of this group of subordinates, when they were in the royal capital before, they lived a precarious life, at that time, if they said that they would fight hard to survive, they would definitely enthusiastically support it, anyway, they have nothing, so why pity?

However, now it is different, their little master Clifford slowly mixed up, and became a red man in front of Lord Taylor, the governor of the three counties in the north, and now he has begun to rule the party again, and it can be regarded as a place where he has the final say, and their worth is naturally rising, and now it is not what it used to be, once people are rich, they are reluctant to die, at this time, they are reluctant to take any risks, and they are afraid that they will lose all the money they got before.

It was difficult to disobey the will of the people, and Clifford naturally would not refute the face of so many brothers in public, smiled lightly, and said: "Okay, I promise everyone, this matter will be talked about later." Now the priority is to open my weaving mill and winery, and the affairs of the winery will be entrusted to Yasan. The preparation of the weaving mill is entrusted to Olivia and Winnie, in particular, the affairs of the weaving factory must be taken care of, I have the strength now, I don't want to make a fuss like before, I want to build a large-scale weaving factory, you have to plan well. ”

"Yes, master." When everyone in the room saw that their master was so proud, they were deeply moved by it, and they all replied in a loud voice.

After the meeting was dismissed, Clifford returned to his bedroom. There were fewer rooms in the inn, and even fewer of the best ones, so Clifford couldn't bear to let his three little beauties sleep in ordinary rooms, so he left them all.

In the evening, Clifford sat in front of the bed and picked up a document to read carefully, three beauties performed their duties, one washed his feet, one beat his legs, and the last knelt on the bed to rub his shoulders, this life is simply not too corrupt.

While stroking Winnie's head, who was kneeling on the ground and beating his legs, Collie asked with a smile: "Winnie, you told me last time that you wanted me to invest in a million-dollar weaving factory, so according to your estimates, how long will it take me to return to my capital?" ”

Winnie smiled, and while gently beating his legs, she said softly: "Although our Rhine Kingdom can't catch up with foreign countries in other things, this weaving industry is still the best in the Hill Continent, and other countries import a large number of textiles from us every year. Heihe County has a natural large port with convenient transportation, and if it is managed properly, I think it will be able to return to its original cost within a year or two. ”

Can you pay for it in a year or two? I went, this profit can be said to be too rich, no wonder the local people are unwilling to farm, digging in the land to eat and only dig a few dollars.

After hearing this, Clifford couldn't help but smile, with such a large income, how many soldiers can he raise, although he doesn't have the right to recruit too many soldiers now, but he is a nobleman, according to the rules of the kingdom, if he makes a great contribution, he can regain a fief, and with his own fiefdom, isn't it up to him to decide how many soldiers and horses to recruit?

However, it is not too early to be happy, because Clifford does not have so much capital, and if you want to spread the stall, you must find someone to partner with, who to find? Clifford immediately remembered the deputy county guard of Heihe County, this thing clearly expressed his favor to himself today, but he immediately vetoed it, although the deputy county guard does not have much power, but he is still his superior, and he is in partnership, in case he is greedy for his own money with his conscience, then who should he talk to to reason?

It seems that the business of partners can only be found slowly, and the top priority at the moment is to select the address of the factory first, and then make a rough budget.

That night, after hugging the three beauties for a while, Coolford sweetly entered the dream.

The next day, when everything was ready, Clifford began to take up his post. As soon as he got out of the post station, a small official from Heihe County drove a carriage to pick him up.

The carriage was extremely luxuriously decorated, which was enough to see the prosperity of Heihe County. Collieford's heart is very refreshing, when he was a staff member before, he always watched Taylor enjoy this kind of treatment, and today he made a county order, and he really realized the wonder of being a leader.

I saw that the little official in charge of the guide was a middle-aged man, with two mustaches, and a trace of greed and murder in his eyes.

Collie did not reject him, but had some understanding, there are not so many legal principles to talk about in this era, everyone only recognizes strength, as a grassroots official, if you are not shrewd and cruel, you will not be able to deter this group of people below.

The little official recognized at a glance that Colliford, who was surrounded by everyone, and immediately walked forward, bowed deeply, and said with a flattering smile: "Lord County Order, the villain was ordered to come to pick up the driver, and asked Lord County Order to get into the car." ”

Collie nodded with a slight smile, and with the support of the servant, he slowly boarded the carriage, but, out of caution in his nature, and his subconscious vigilance against this slippery little official, he still said: "Sophia, you come up and follow me into the same carriage into the city." ”

"Yes, master." Sophia smiled faintly, her heart was as sweet as pouring honey, she was the chief of the guard of Clifford, and it was her duty to protect her master closely, not to mention that it was a great honor to be in the same car with her master into the city. She enjoyed the privilege.

The little official in charge of the reception bent down slightly, and invited Clifford and Sophia into the carriage very flatteringly, and said with a smile: "Lord County, madam." Sit down, and we're off to go. ”

"Let's go?" Clifford instinctively sensed that something was wrong, that no one else was ready, so what was the matter with this carriage?

The next scene made him angry. The little officer did not speak to Collie again, sat down in the carriage, waved the whip with his right hand, and shouted loudly: "Drive! And he drove the carriage away.

Cleifer was shocked, how could this Nima be in such a hurry? One didn't sit still and almost fell on his back, but fortunately Sophia helped him.

Collie Fu was not a good-tempered person, coupled with his own dignified county order, when he encountered this kind of treatment, he was even more angry, and after sitting firmly, he scolded: "Bastard thing! What the are you going to do?! ”

The little official did not slow down at all, and while waving the horsewhip proudly, he turned his head away, and said with a sneer: "The county magistrate doesn't need to panic, this is the old rule, let you take a fast train, I wish you a prosperous career!" With that, he waved his whip proudly to make the carriage run faster.

Collifer understood that this cargo drove the carriage so fast, and picked the difficult road to walk, and made him so uncomfortable, that he obviously wanted to fix him. There is no need to guess, it must have been the idea of the big families in the city, they knew that the purpose of Clifford's trip was to collect taxes, so they thought of such a bad trick to cure him, and give him a dismount, so that he could be honest when he arrived in the city.

Clifford was a man in two lives, and he was a cultural person, how could he stand this kind of bump? After a while, the whole body was hurt by the bumps, as if the bones of the body were about to fall apart, and the internal organs in the abdomen were also turned upside down, and I couldn't help but want to vomit.

The little official turned his head and saw this scene, and his heart was even more proud, with his lowly status, he could abuse this dignified county order, and the feeling in his heart was simply extremely cool.

Sophia was very distressed when she saw Clifford's appearance, and when she saw the little official's sassy face, she was even more angry, and shouted, "Stop me!" ”

The little official snorted coldly in his heart, and didn't even bother to turn back, in his opinion, Sophia, a weak woman, has no effect at all except for being beautiful, but unfortunately, she can't be a pet for herself.
