He straightened up, felt the softness and gentleness of the warm fragrant nephrite under him, held her face, and smiled softly, "Dear Sophia, of course you can too." No one is more qualified than you. ”

"Master......" Sophia smiled sweetly, her cheeks were a little red because of Clifford's movements, but she could see that her heart was still very happy and said, "Thank you, Master." ”

The work of exterminating DuPont is being carried out in an orderly manner, and in addition to coordinating the work of suppression with von Bock and asking about the recruitment of Sophia and others, Clifford also often runs to Taylor's side to report on the work and contact feelings.

"Clifford, I heard that you made a recruitment standard, it's very interesting, how did you come up with it?" That morning, Cliffor, seeing that Governor Taylor had nothing to do, ran over to play chess with him, and the two fought for a while, and Governor Taylor pretended to ask about it unintentionally, and his tone was full of banter.

The conscription criteria were made public to the public, and Clifford didn't need to hide it, he smiled, and said, "Teacher, you have promoted me." Actually, I'm just looking for the kind of person who can do things honestly, if the people below can only put on a show, play tricks, then it is useless how hard we try. ”

"Be honest." Governor Taylor held the chess piece in one hand, held it in the air, and said thoughtfully: "These four words are easy to say, but if you really want to do it, it is very difficult, how many people in this world can really do things honestly?" If a person is honest in this matter, it is difficult to ensure that he is also honest in other things, if everyone is honest, then the three counties in the north would have been prosperous and the country would have been strong a long time ago, where would anyone bully us? ”

Cliffor's feelings were moved when he saw what Governor Taylor said, and he looked worried about the country and the people, knowing that he must have encountered something recently, so he felt that the first rule in the workplace, the leader's business is his own business, Clifford, who has lived for two lives, will not not understand this truth, and immediately put down the chess pieces and asked with a serious look: "Teacher, have you encountered any troubles recently?" Don't be afraid to say it, let the students share your worries. ”

"Hey." Governor Taylor sighed heavily, and had no intention of playing chess, pushed the chessboard away, stood up, paced a few steps, took a document from the table, handed it to Clifford, and said, "Look what this is?" ”

Collie quickly stood up, respectfully took the document, unfolded it, and quickly glanced at it, unconsciously shocked, this letter can be said to be shocking, the content of the letter is that the supervisor complained about the corruption and bribery of Heihe County, one of the three counties in the north, that is, the head county of the northernmost county.

The letter said that since the county magistrate took office, he has not done anything, and has been committed to oppressing the local nobles and wealthy families, knocking on their bamboo poles, so as to enrich his own pockets, and extorting and accepting bribes of several hundred thousand silver dollars in total, which is very serious in nature and has a very bad impact.

The reason why Clifford was frightened was not because of this corruption case, although he had no authority before, but he had seen a lot of such cases, and he would not affect his nerves because of such a thing, and the reason why he was frightened was the name of the county order - Hogg, Hogg was also Taylor's disciple and his classmate, he was kind, quite talented, and had a good relationship with himself, he was also one of Taylor's entourage who came to the three northern counties with Taylor, because he was Taylor's personal disciple, The relationship between an ordinary disciple like Collie and Taylor is even closer, and with some talent, he was appointed as the county magistrate of Heihe County, and it has only been a few days, so something happened? He knew Hogg's status in Taylor's heart, so he put on a gesture of regret and sighed: "Hogg is a benevolent person, and his conduct is very good on weekdays, I don't think he would do such a thing, is there something hidden in this?" ”

"There's nothing hidden." Taylor took the papers, threw him on the table, his face was full of unhappiness, and said lightly: "What is said above is the truth, Hogg is indeed depraved." I originally had high hopes for him, but I didn't expect him to be so uncompetitive and disrupt my plans. ”

Clifford bowed his head and was silent, thinking in his heart why Taylor told himself about this, as Taylor's cronies, he naturally knew what Taylor's plan was, and this plan was formulated by him for Taylor - suppressing bandits to stabilize the place, sorting out the finances of the three northern counties to concentrate on key construction, these are the two major plays he designed for Taylor. As long as these two points are done well, Taylor can control the three northern counties, and then engage in economic construction, support local industries, and expand local people's power, so as to resist foreign infiltration.

Since the suppression of bandits is a top priority, Taylor handed over this matter to his most capable student Colifor, and sorting out the finances of the three northern counties and controlling the money bags in his own hands is also a top priority, Taylor did not want to delay, so he sent some magistrates to various places, especially in the important areas of finance and taxation, hoping that they could collect more taxes for themselves, so that they could have more money to raise troops to engage in construction and fight against foreign countries.

Although Heihe County is not as prosperous as Chaoen County as a whole, Heihe County, the capital county of Heihe County, is no poorer than any of the three counties in the north, because it has two unique advantages: the first is a mine, and the second is a seaport.

In fact, there are quite a lot of wealthy families in Heihe County, Heihe County, and those who have millions of assets at home dare not boast of their wealth to others, otherwise they will definitely be ridiculed by people, because of this, Taylor will send his most trusted and capable disciple Hogg to be the county magistrate there, hoping that Hogg can help him control this rich place, collect more taxes, so that he can expand his strength more calmly, I didn't expect Hogg to make such a big mess just after taking office, and at this moment, I can't protect him, because Taylor knows, According to the rules of the Rhine Kingdom, the document accusing Hogg must have been sent to the royal capital Vienna and handed over to the king, although Taylor is now in full swing, but in this Rhine Kingdom is not up to him, he has no reason or courage to openly protect his student who has made such a big mistake.

Clifford, who has lived for two lives, saw at a glance that this is a cat, eighty percent of Hogg was eager to show himself to the teacher after taking office, actively implemented Taylor's ideas, and taxed those wealthy families, and then touched their core interests, and they designed a yin, and capsized, according to the laws of the Rhine Kingdom, embezzling so much money is punishable by death, and I don't know if Taylor can save the life of his student.
