Chapter 350: Entering the Capital
The gunfire continued for about ten minutes, and blood soaked the carpet of the capital.
The guards and soldiers engaged in a fierce exchange of fire, but the outcome was obvious, and the difference in numbers could not be simply bridged by marksmanship.
When the gunfire stopped, all the elders were killed by the guns of the Third Legion.
The president, who was sitting above, stared blankly at what was happening in front of him, unable to say a word.
Regarding how to deal with the president, Gao Tiejun and Jiang Tao struggled.
Gao Tiejun wanted to spare the president's life, but Jiang Tao took out the pistol hidden in his pocket and killed him personally!
Seeing that the president was dead, although he was dissatisfied with Jiang Tao's approach, the high-speed rail army had no choice but to give up.
The Third Army blockaded the capital, and the president's sudden death did not send a ripple through the stormy Gree Federation.
After blocking the news, Jiang Tao immediately found Huanglongshan and conveyed the intention of surrender to Xinguo through him.
An hour later, the steel airship of the new kingdom landed in the sky above the Gree Federation.
At this moment, the people of the Gree Federation realized that they had lost!
"Is this the capital of the Gree Federation?"
Standing on the pod, Xu Yuan overlooked the park, which covers an area of more than ten square kilometers.
The center of the park is paved with concrete buildings and simple shacks, and paths that are neither wide nor narrow crisscross the complex.
"That's right," Ning Hui, who was standing next to Xu Yuan, looked at the central capital, and a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.
A lifting platform pulled by a graphene cable falls.
Bathed in the frightened eyes cast around the square, Xu Yuan stepped into the capital with more than a dozen soldiers in power armor.
The 3rd Corps of the Gree Federation has been disarmed and surrendered to the New Expeditionary Force, which was the first to log in.
The Federation's 15 survivor settlements are designated as economic zones in the new country, elected by the people. Politics. The government is managed, and the new state sends an executive officer to supervise and control the defense of the settlement.
When he saw Xu Yuan, Jiang Tao, who was waiting in the square, lit up his eyes and immediately greeted him with a flattering smile.
"Contemptible Jiang Tao, I've been waiting for my lord for a long time."
"Hmm."
Without saying anything more to him, Xu Yuan then turned his gaze to Huanglongshan, who was holding his chest up, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Very well, you have a lot of credit this time."
"It's the president who has cultivated it well." Huang Longshan said with a red face.
got such a high evaluation, the reward for promotion must not be able to run, and in addition to being excited, Huang Longshan did not forget to send a sycophant.
"Okay, don't mess with me, if there's nothing to do, go back to the airship first, your reward will be with the soldiers of the expeditionary force."
"Thank you, President!" Huanglongshan said with great joy.
was put aside by Xu Yuan, Jiang Tao's heart couldn't help but feel worried.
When Huanglongshan found him, he patted his chest and promised that if he did what the new country ordered, when the time came, the capital would be conquered, and your glory and wealth would be indispensable.
Now the Gree Federation is included in the territory of the new country, but when it comes to the new country to fulfill its promise, Jiang Tao is a little uncertain.
Just when he was hesitating to open his mouth to remind Xu Yuan not to forget himself, Xu Yuan turned his gaze to him, and the corners of his mouth hooked into a playful smile.
"It seems that you are the last elder of the Gree Federation."
"You're laughing." Jiang Tao hooked his waist and smiled awkwardly, "The Gree Federation is already prostrate at your feet, where is there any elders' house." ”
Regarding this elder's flattering attitude, Xu Yuan smiled and spoke.
"Of course this House of Elders has to have, but from now on, you are doing things for me."
"Back to the president, the other elders are dead." Jiang Tao said cautiously.
"Dead?" Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment and set his eyes on the high-speed rail army.
"Die of stubborn resistance." The high-speed rail army replied briefly.
All dead?
This was unexpected by Xu Yuan.
He had originally planned to pick out a few elders who had abandoned the darkness and turned to the light and asked them to help him continue to take care of the affairs of the park, but he didn't expect them all to die.
Xu Yuan glanced at Jiang Tao meaningfully.
The expression that seemed to be smiling made Jiang Tao dare not look up at him.
"Mr. Jiang Tao is decisive and has good means."
Cold sweat swept across his forehead, and Jiang Tao said resignedly.
"Don't dare."
"Alright, if you're dead, you'll be dead." Xu Yuan waved his hand.
Hearing Xu Yuan say this, Jiang Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Killing all the elders and the president is his careful thinking, and only when all the high-ranking officials are dead can his importance be highlighted.
The only thing he was worried about was that Xu Yuan had an opinion about his approach, but now it seemed that although the new president saw through his careful thinking, he didn't care.
After pondering for a moment, Xu Yuan asked casually.
"What is the population here?"
"There are 50,000 permanent residents and more than 6,000 floating population." Jiang Tao replied immediately.
"Last month's fiscal surplus?"
"Ninety thousand source crystals."
"I can't see it, you're quite familiar with the situation of the Gree Federation, it's not temporary, right?" Xu Yuan glanced at him in surprise.
Jiang Tao smiled hesitantly and said in a flattering tone: "How dare I lie to you." ”
"Very well, it seems that you are not a straw bale." The corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, Xu Yuan nodded, "So in that case, are you interested in doing things for me?" ”
Hearing this, Jiang Tao was overjoyed, and regardless of the eyes of other people, he immediately kowtowed and thanked him.
"Don't be in a hurry to rejoice just yet." didn't let him get up, Xu Yuan looked down at him with a smile, "I know all your little cleverness." You should also know what happens if you use those little cleverness where you shouldn't. ”
Hearing Xu Yuan's words, Jiang Tao immediately put his forehead on the ground and expressed his loyalty.
"If Jiang Tao dares to have the slightest dissent, he will be willing to accept the punishment of Ling Chi!"
Looking at Jiang Tao, who was bowing his head, Xu Yuan said softly.
"Remember what you said today. Get up. ”
"Thanks... New Emperor! ”
Although Jiang Tao's character is debatable, he still has the talent in management.
Xu Yuan sent someone to check the household register and treasury accounts of the Gree Federation, and the data on them were not much different from what he said.
As long as the dog is kept on a leash, it doesn't hurt for such a person to use it.
After all, it's not about choosing a moral model.
On the way from the square to the capital, Jiang Tao gave full play to his dog-legged talent, nodding and following behind Xu Yuan.
However, Xu Yuan was not interested in his compliments and sycophants, and simply asked a few words about the general situation of the Gree Federation, and then told this guy to shut up.
One foot stepped into the capital, only to see that the officials inside were already crowded!
Looking at these submissive officials, Xu Yuan frowned slightly, tilted his head, and asked Jiang Tao, "How many officials are there in this Gree Federation?" ”
"Back to the president, the official positions are one to five, each grade is divided into five levels, a total of 573 officials."
So many?
Xu Yuan estimated that one out of every hundred people in the Gree Federation was an official, and not counting some minor officials.
Sensing the puzzled look on Xu Yuan's face, Jiang Tao hurriedly stepped forward and whispered closer.
"The bureaucratic system of the Gree Federation is huge, and the House of Elders has had a headache about this matter before, but these people are more or less related to the House of Elders, and everyone looks up and doesn't look down, and no one is embarrassed to mention layoffs, so there are naturally more and more officials in the Gree Federation, and many things are divided into five pieces and divided into ten people to do......"
"There are too many people, cut a batch." Xu Yuan waved his hand and said impatiently.
Unlike Jiang Tao's cautiousness, Xu Yuan did not control the volume at all when he spoke.
That's why. After hearing what he said clearly, the ministers in the presidential palace suddenly froze, and immediately wrote their dissatisfaction on their faces.
Jiang Tao secretly smiled bitterly, but Xu Yuanna would care about their careful thoughts, and walked directly towards the seat in front of the main hall.
A fart. Sitting on the chair, Xu Yuan felt the feeling of being president for a while, and then looked at the officials and spoke.
"I'm sitting here, is anyone dissatisfied?"
If there is dissatisfaction, who dares to speak out? The officials bowed their heads and did not speak.
"Very well, it seems that no one is dissatisfied." Xu Yuan leaned back in his chair and squinted his eyes as he looked at the officials in the audience.
Clearing his throat, Xu Yuan said directly.
"Jiang Tao, give me the official roster."
Jiang Tao hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully handed out the tablet in his hand.
Although the technology of the Gree Federation is backward, it has also achieved information management, and the names and ranks of all officials are registered on the server of the capital, and the person who has obtained the management authority is responsible.
Normally, this person is the president, and if the president dies, it is deferred to the second-highest elder.
The president is dead, and Jiang Tao is the only elder left, so the management authority of this server data is naturally extended to Jiang Tao's hands.
Now Xu Yuan stretched out his hand to ask for it, and Jiang Tao naturally offered it with both hands.
After taking the tablet, Xu Yuan saw that the roster had been opened on the main interface, so he flipped through it casually.
"Liu Hongtao."
"Yes." An official stood out of the queue and bowed to Xu Yuan.
"You're in charge of the city gate tax, aren't you?"
"Exactly." Liu Hongtao said resignedly.
"In the future, there will be no gate tax here, and you can go home." Xu Yuan said casually.
With a plop, Liu Hongtao knelt on the ground, and tears poured out at once.
"Your Excellency, President, do not ......"
The city gate tax is a fat shortage, and every day there are hundreds of people in and out of the city gate in the Gree Federation, and everyone who enters the city has to be scratched.
2 Although there are not many source crystals, at the end of the day, there are two or three thousand source crystals.
Scrape one or two hundred source crystals from this to subsidize the family, and no one will pay attention to it at all.
Xu Yuan was like this, it was simply cut off from his financial route.
