"That's not necessarily, there are dozens of young good players at this start, you don't look at that big man, a general-level war division, he can easily kill a general war division of the same level, and it doesn't look too hard, you look at those people and it seems that the three people are a team, almost like a meat grinder, which may be what backers there are behind. ”

"Yes, look at those beautiful girls, so fierce, they make my liver tremble just thinking about them. ”

"yes, yes, it's scary. ”

"But haven't you noticed? This new city lord seems to be a person who can't cultivate. ”

"I've paid attention, I can't cultivate, but this person is too cruel to mess with. ”

"By the way, the Black Sand Mercenary Group outside the city was wiped out a few days ago, it seems to be so cruel, it can't be done by this city lord, right?"

"Don't say it, it's kind of like. ”

"It's a bit like, right? If the Black Sand Mercenary Group was also done by him, then he is really not easy to mess with, so pay attention in the future, don't accidentally provoke this demon, I don't know how to die." ”

"It's not terrible to die if you don't know how to die, it's terrible to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and no one will take revenge. ”

"It's been two days, and it seems that no one has jumped out to do anything with him, right?"

"No, I guess they are all watching the excitement, to see who comes out first, and to touch his strength before he can do it, and now they are all waiting and seeing. ”

There was a commotion in the crowd, saying everything, but the perpetrator at this time was sitting peacefully in the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion, drinking tea, while looking at some of the subordinates below who came to report, there were garrison officers, law enforcement guards, finance, civil officials, military generals, and it was chaotic and bustling.

Xu Lang was not in a hurry, just waiting for the official Weng Leyi next to him to take a roll call, if he arrived, Weng Leyi would inform himself.

After waiting for a long time, Weng Leyi looked at the list in his hand indifferently, and looked at the time, he had no choice about these functional departments in the city, since he had no way, he didn't bother to care, I don't care if you come or not, in the end, the city lord will decide.

When the time came, Weng Leyi turned around and bowed to Xu Lang, and then stood up straight.

"Lord City Lord, except for the financial executive Browns, the other departments of the city officials have arrived, and I hope that the city lord will show you. ”

Xu Lang was stunned for a moment, Browns? That's the Boone family, right? Hehe, interesting, the Boone family, the Earth Demon Spirit Master family, good group battles, protecting the shortcomings, unity.

After pondering for a while, Xu Lang said to the following: "Stand in line and say, talk about the current situation, say what you think, don't hide it." ”

As soon as the words fell, Kent in charge of the army was heard standing up, this was a somewhat upright soldier, he bowed and bowed to Xu Lang.

"Lord Castle, I don't have much to say. ”

Xu Lang was angry when he heard this, there is nothing to say, what do you say when you get up? Unexpectedly, Kent continued.

"My lord, the soldiers of our army have not been paid for a year, I wonder when my lord will be paid?"

Xu Lang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "General Kent, isn't the army's salary issued by the imperial court?

Kent was a little anxious when he heard this, and felt that this military salary was going to be in vain, can this not be in a hurry? If this is not out, how can he explain to the soldiers when he goes back? The lord of the city did not come, so it is better to say. Meng Yimeng is over. However, now that the city lord has taken office, it's not easy to be blinded anymore.

"That lord, that's right, isn't this the king's order at the beginning, saying that since the city of death belongs to the trade zone, it is not easy to station troops in the name of the state, so we are divided into the name of the lord of the city of death. The military salary was also paid by the lord of the city. ”

When Xu Lang heard this, his heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "Don't you know that the army still has an establishment in the country?"

Kent's face was bitter, then an angry expression.

"There is no preparation, the last time we entangled with Hu Chiguo again, we did not succeed in driving them back, so that the two countries finally negotiated and negotiated. But this also made the king angry with us, so after the negotiation, the king left us here. To put it bluntly, it is exile, which is why my soldiers do not dare to leave without permission, although they are not paid. Have you heard of an army that has not been paid for more than a year, even the last two city lords also deducted our salary. ”

Oh, Xu Lang suddenly felt in his heart, he looked at the burly general in front of him, and felt a little pitiful, a person can be forced to this point, or insist, this is a righteous person. For the sake of their own soldiers in the insistence.

Xu Lang stretched out a finger to him: "One month, tell the soldiers that it only takes one month, and I will pay all the deducted salaries." How?"

When Kent heard this, he didn't say anything, gave a deep bow, turned and stood aside, and said nothing more.

After listening to everyone's accounts one after another, Xu Lang finally felt a headache, these people only want money but money, but fortunately, all the institutions are running well without the city lord. Of course, only finance is a big problem, and he can't collect taxes from the outside world, and he doesn't dare to mess with those people, and Browns has not come for a long time, so that the tax link is about to be paralyzed.

"Weng Leyi, you go and inform Browns, and let him collect all the taxes within half a month, including those that have not been collected and those that have not been collected before. If you can't collect it, don't do it again. ”

After Xu Lang finished speaking, he looked at everyone and pointed at the green dragon with his hand.

"In the future, some routine things, everyone will report to Qinglong, she can take me to exercise all the rights, and all departments will run as usual, and all the missing funds will be released in a month. Kent, you go back and mobilize the army now, tell them, I'm going to start using them, damn, soldiers don't fight, they're fart soldiers. ”

After speaking, Xu Lang turned around and left, everyone was stunned, only Qinglong looked at everyone with a smile, quite speechless for this handshaker shopkeeper, he still gave everything to himself from the beginning. Weng Leyi and Kent's eyes lit up, straightened their waists, turned around and left.

Back in the back hall, Ruoshui came over, she was still covered with white veil, taking care of all Xu Lang's life in every detail, and now Xu Lang has gradually become accustomed to Ruoshui by his side, serving tea and pouring water, dressing and combing hair, the two are like a tacit combination.

"Childe, Su Dai'er outside the door asks to see you. ”

I thought to myself, what is she doing here, but immediately motioned to my subordinates.

"Oh, let her in. ”

After a while, Su Dai'er hired Tingting and walked in, and she glanced at Xu Lang resentfully. Xu Lang felt a chill on his back, what kind of expression was this? It's too intimate, right?

"Xu Gongzi is really hidden deep enough, the slave family doesn't know that the benefactor who helped him turned out to be the lord of a city. ”
