Chapter 310: Autumn Harvest Celebration II of the Fourth Year
Any administrative system is like a basket of earth woven with rattan, and when the organization is first built, the basket is new and dense, and the sand does not leak. And after a long time, under the many situations of 'not taking an example' and 'turning a blind eye', the cracks in the soil basket are wide open, and they go all the way and scatter all the way. When it comes out, it is full, and when it comes to the urgent use of the gutter, the remaining half burns high incense.
For example, in a small office, what can a small 'tradition' of a dinner party look like? What kind of tricks can be played by buying some 'stationery' related to 'office'. The more complex and huge gameplay is more brain-burning and hidden, and it doesn't take much pen and ink, and interested students poke Baidu by themselves.
is like an interesting emotion: the central government allocated a special fund for 'wearing a hat', but even the scalp was scraped off when it fell to the ground. That is to say, all the money has been used to plug the deficits accumulated by various yamen along the way, and in the end, the things that need this money need to be posted upside down by the institutions concerned.
Thinking of the menstrual posts on the Internet, Jiao Ming probably guessed the dilemma of the ruling group of the Red Mountain Kingdom, but he had to sigh at the scheming of the silent person's personality. For these long-hungry kingdoms, the performance of the new factories in the Eventro territory is like a sweet spring, solving the dilemma of never having enough money to spend financially, and they are blind to fear being left out.
But even then, it's a matter of time. If the Red Mountain Kingdom waited for half a year to remember itself...... Thinking of this, Jiao Ming, a normal personality, shook his head, as long as he was not too big or too small to do something. Such a simple solution came to my mind, how could the guy who was tortured all day in the torture room not think of it, and the specific solution must be quite bloody and cruel: such as war.
This invitation to meet with important people probably saved the lives of many people, he smiled bitterly, comforting himself like this, Jiao Ming, a normal personality, turned his head to Dieda and asked, "What is the specific process of this Red Mountain Kingdom version of the Autumn Harvest Celebration?
Butterfly recalled for a moment and shook her head: "If it's like a crocodile collar, it's not." However, after dark, the palace holds a grand ball. β
"Unlimited food?"
"Should ......" As soon as she spat out a word, Dieda's eyes widened and she asked in disbelief, "You want to?"
"Eat back some interest. β
"This is too unseemly, please ......," Butterfly admonished in a panic to fulfill her duties as a maid.
"In your lifetime, you should be able to see the good old days of 'all about money', and things like 'aristocratic decency' will soon be swept into the garbage, so don't care. Speaking of this, Jiao Ming, a normal personality, got up, walked to the sun and spread his arms, and said with a smile: "And on such an important occasion, most of the two guys came out, and it is useless for you to tell me this." β
However, Jiao Ming, a normal personality, obviously expected it wrongly, and waited leisurely until the sunset reflected the red sand and waves, he was still not forced to 'pop out', closed his eyes and concentrated in curiosity, returned to the depths of his heart, and pushed open the door of the torture room.
"Get me a big deal today?"
"There are too many soul fragments split out of the madman's personality, so in order to cope with the next thing, I let him rest more. As for me, I'm too lazy to waste time with those important people, you just deal with it. β
"It's okay if the talk collapses?"
"You feel free. "The personality of the silent person does not wait for the normal personality to talk nonsense, and the door of mind control is suddenly closed, representing the severance of spiritual communication.
When I opened my eyes, I saw Dieda and Toniche with a concerned face, and the normal personality Jiao Ming smiled, but saw that both of them took a step back in disbelief, and Dieda hurriedly put on the rabbit ear headdress, and couldn't help but shake her head: "Don't be nervous, it's me." But I still recommend that you wear those ears, the madman can come out at any time when he wakes up, and it's really cute. β
Dieda made a bitter face, but little Toniche jumped up and snatched the headdress and put it on his head, staring at Jiao Ming with wide eyes and waiting for evaluation. Jiao Ming picked up the little guy, praised a few words, and returned to the office building to change clothes, if those two personalities were wearing beach casual clothes, they would go to see important people, and normal personalities couldn't do this kind of thing for the time being.
Pulling on the butterfly and the roseflower on the faΓ§ade, and waiting to change back into formal clothes, the three of them entered the half-grown exclusive vine teleportation room in the corner of the office building, and teleported to Qinghe City, the capital of the Red Mountain Kingdom, a tropical city built in a river network.
Outside the gate of the vine teleportation town in the artisan district, there were already Yisi's servants waiting, and after a few respectful and polite greetings, several people first took a carriage and then changed boats to the door of a grocery store in the main city. Jiao Ming's body is the second time to come to this 'foreign goods mall' under the name of Yisi, but it is the first time for his normal personality, and then he exclaimed something similar to that of a madman's personality: 'Really mother's broken', the difference is that this time it didn't shout.
When I saw Ms. Yisi herself, the normal personality performed very perfunctorily according to the aristocratic etiquette she had learned, and then got straight to the point in the surprised eyes of the other party: "There are many things to talk about in tonight's meeting, and by the way, don't waste time." β
"Mr. Jiao Ming, you have something special tonight. β
"There is no doubt that no one will pretend to be me. Jiao Ming, a normal personality, probably guessed the other party's thoughts, and continued: "And the important thing is not my identity, but those industrial solutions." As for the difference in speech and behavior, you can understand that I am in a good mood today, or I have taken some medication for mental illness. β
This way of speaking with unclear words made Yi Si regain some familiarity, and smiled dignifiedly, "Please come with me, sir, this is not the place where we will meet." β
"Neither the reluctance of this important person to condescend, nor the secrecy of this meeting, is not a good thing. β
"Just to show you respect. Yisi answered without stumbling.
I believe that you are a ghost, thinking so, Jiao Ming, a normal personality, followed Yi Si out the back door, changed to a small boat twice, and came to the Qing River, which runs through the entire city and is the origin of the name of this city. Then board a large ship, the dark red earth-based magic condensation on the surface of the hull indicates the ship's royal background and, of course, the important people inside.
Needless to say, the appearance of the many male and female servants who served as vase decorations was carefully selected. The flower still stands out among them, but the butterfly is already below the average. However, as a visitor to the earth, Jiao Ming still has basic resistance to these things, and he will not be three points shorter.
When you enter the cabin and walk through the short corridor, it is a small hall, with a low table in front and two low tables on both sides, which is quite in the style of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The hall was empty, except for the smell of an unknown scent.
Jiao Ming pouted, he didn't like the taste, and he didn't like this kind of hospitality etiquette. Under the guidance of Yisi, he sat cross-legged on the cushion behind the low table on the side, and was not polite, reaching out to take the fruit that looked like grapes on the plate, but the back of his waist was pressed against the knee of the flower standing behind him.
Jiao Ming, a normal personality, of course understood the meaning, but he had a heart to be narrow, turned his head and asked straightly, "What are you doing?" Luohua suddenly blushed, and under the etiquette of the maid, she had no choice but to stare gently and fiercely with a pair of beautiful eyes.
"Okay, okay, just don't eat it. Jiao Ming's purpose was achieved, he smiled slightly, turned his head to Ms. Yisi, who was sitting opposite, and asked, "Time is limited, the effect of the medicine that suppressed my mental state for a while has passed, and you will bear the consequences." β
Ms. Yi Si didn't understand this hint, but the apparent urging still understood, but she said, "I don't know what Mr. has of our impression of our Red Mountain Kingdom?"
Jiao Ming was stunned for a moment, this was small talk, but he recalled the experience of the interview in his sense of dΓ©jΓ vu, and suddenly cried and laughed, "This question is too general." The biggest impression is that the weather is so hot, and the mosquitoes are bold and big, and the common insect repellent herbs are completely ineffective. β
Lady Eath smiled stiffly and corrected, "Sorry, I mean, to this country. β
"Is it different from the question just now?"
"To our people. β
"The skin is a little dark. Jiao Ming smiled and looked around again, "I won't go around in circles with you." I have the impression that the kingdom, like all the big organizations, is unresponsive. And when you start asking questions like this, do you want to see where my 'important person' is hiding and eavesdropping? Why? If you don't answer well, you won't come out?"
This is a kind of condescending meaning of setting audit conditions, but after being directly broken, there is a bit of a small family, in this case, if someone is really eavesdropping, it can no longer be hidden.
Although Yi Si knew that Jiao Ming's personality was a little peculiar, he didn't expect that he would push the situation into such an embarrassing situation, and just wanted to open his mouth to turn around, but he heard the sound of the door behind the big table, so he had to swallow his words.
Mr. Jean smiled. An old voice sounded, and after pulling the door, an old man in a short mage robe came out, with a slightly hunched back and a full head of white hair and a full face of folds, and the most intuitive impression was that half of his body was buried in the loess.
"Don't have time to laugh, let's get to the point, okay?" The reason why Jiao Ming, a normal personality, was so anxious was because the sound of a madman yawning sounded in his heart.
The old man nodded, sat down, and asked: "The so-called industrialization plan given by Mr. has opened the eyes of the old man, but there is one thing that is not clear, I don't know why Mr. is so helpful to our country." β
... Who is this damn old man? The way he hangs makes me feel the urge to cut him...
... I don't know yet...
... , let's talk directly without introducing myself, this old man is a little interesting, it's really a clear stream among these grinding nobles, I don't want to cut him...
"I don't think it matters, the important thing is that the information is all genuine. β
"So what if we encounter a problem in the middle of our factory construction, and you offer a sky-high price for further and more detailed information?" The old man's face and tone did not change, he did not see through the conspiracy with pride, nor did he stand on the moral high ground to question, just talking about an ordinary matter.
"I don't talk about 'trust' as nonsense. The normal personality Jiao Ming shrugged his shoulders, picked a grape and ate it, covering up the pause in the struggle for control with the madman's personality, "And the answer to this question is very simple, wait until this happens." β
The old man laughed three times, as if he was very satisfied with this answer, and asked again: "I heard that more than half a year ago, Tro led the beheading of a nine-ring fire magician for homicide, is it true?"
Even within the Tro Domain, there are endless theories of stand-ins faking death, and it is not surprising that outsiders are puzzled. As an eyewitness to the incident, Jiao Ming certainly knew the truth and nodded, "It's really dead." β
"Why?"
"If you have to make money, you will kill it. β
"Please sir elaborate. β
"Kill or not kill are two simple options, and then you can anticipate a series of possible consequences and impacts, list the terms and conditions, and then measure the positive and negative returns. After a pause, Jiao Ming spread his hands and repeated: "If you calculate that you have to make money, you will kill it." β
Such a strange argument was obviously beyond Ms. Yisi's expectations, and her eyes were completely caught in a state of restarting the three views, but the old man was much calmer, and asked: "But in the eyes of the old man, no matter how you calculate it, it is a big loss?"
"On the inescapable battlefield, how many eight-ring magicians can a nine-ring magician beat, ten, twenty, how many seven-ring magicians, a hundred, two hundred?"
The purpose of killing the nine rings and buying people's hearts can be understood by everyone, but it is only worth it. The old man finally frowned slightly in the face of this problem, and quickly got the result by substituting the scene, the strong man of the Nine Rings really had no chance of winning in the face of such a death match. After pondering for a moment to figure out the key to the so-called measurement, he questioned: "How can it be compared like this?"
"Why not?"
After a moment of silence, the old man changed the subject. "The Red Mountain Kingdom will win every battle, I don't know what Mr. thinks about this?"
"Omen of the country!" Jiao Ming was ready to use some common tactics of strategists, of course, there were still some dry goods.
The kingdom of the Red Mountains existed before the beginning of the Age of Magic, and after the revival of the Age of Saint Coson, it gradually expanded into a vast empire with a flawed administrative system that was probably stronger than a sieve. And these continuous border frictions and internal wars, large and small, are like wounds, sucking the blood of the empire.
Regardless of the advanced gameplay of the arms dealer, just take the lying of military exploits as an example, how will the centurion report it to the centurion after a short exchange of fire with the enemy, how will the centurion report it, how will the legion commander report it, what should the military officers at all levels do, and what data will finally fall on the emperor's desk?
"How?"
"There is a saying in my hometown, 'Although the country is big, the warlike will perish', and in the final analysis, this war is still a matter of money, and claiming to have won but losing money on the books is only a victory to fool people, and it has no effect except to arouse the patriotic sentiment of the people and the small gains generated by this sentiment. β
"How do you know if you're losing money or not?"
Jiao Ming smiled, "Guess." β
