Wu Xin finally agreed with Cassano for dinner, and Sazastan said that after cooking the soup, he would go to work at the highest point of the Bright Peak, that is, as a lamp.

Wu Xin then summoned Father Erlan and Kessler, the last time he had made the Muhammad priest the climate after all, this time, he decided to take precautions.

The situation is already different, compared to the strength he had at that time, Wu Xin now has much better cards in his hand, he has enough armed forces, he does not have to temporarily mobilize strong men to participate in the war, and he can react at any time.

A large number of new immigrants from the same origin cannot be left to ferment within.

Absorbing the fragments of the plane is a good thing, but only by working hard and exerting all the digestive power can a good thing not become a bad thing.

Before dinner, Wu Xin returned to his room first.

"You're back?"

"Uh, uh, uh."

"What's wrong?"

For the female knight Devreich, Wu Xin just went outside to hang around, while for Wu Xin, he and a group of friends experienced a long fight.

It's been hours since he's been back on the main plane, but he's never really sorted out his emotions.

The panic and loneliness when he finally broke up with Delia were still in his heart.

Thinking of Delia's difficult days on the island of Malta, Wu Xin felt a rare trace of shame.

Of course, Wu Xin is not a guy who wants to eat meat and have an uneasy conscience, Wu Xin can handle the relationship between the two, just as he can handle the relationship between the plane task and the main plane struggle, but he also needs a certain amount of time to make a good excuse for his conscience.

The female knight Devreich couldn't know all this, she hugged Wu Xin and gave Wu Xin a kiss with her cold lips.

Wu Xin's reaction was slow, and the female knight Deverichy quickly realized this.

"What's wrong?" She asked again, then quickly answered herself, "I know you don't like what my father has been doing lately. But please understand him, he also wants Tripoli to prosper day by day. ”

Wu Xin immediately regained his ability to think, and this remark was obviously some kind of cover-up.

The female knight of Devlich still hugged Wu Xin tightly, and continued: "My uncle and cousin have sold all the manors in their hometown, and they really sincerely surrender to you, they are all very good warriors. can help you. ”

Wu Xin didn't know all the details, but this kind of thing didn't need all the details, he knew a rough idea, but he still tried it: "But the others must be unconvinced." ”

The reaction of the female knight de Vrerich was just as he expected.

"Your Highness, don't listen to that Erlan's slander, it's just because his family is full of civilians who don't even know a word, so he didn't bring his family here." Because of the synchronization of the planes, the female knight of Deverichy did not realize that Father Erlan had not had time to "slander" their family, "We are from the Deverichy family. Not to mention that everyone has a warrior level, but more importantly, everyone is literate, and my cousin is very smart, and she has also studied magic, so she can help His Highness Sazastan. My uncle was the deputy secretary of the Elector of Saxony, and everyone said that he was dutiful and incorruptible, so would it be good for him to be the chief grain officer? ”

The cardinals of the Church of Rome were good, although they were basically nobles. But at the grassroots level there are still quite a few commoner church heads and bishops, and in the administrative apparatus. Civilian-born people are unlikely to be able to work as clerks.

Compared to the government, which does not want to enter without aristocratic blood, the church is still relatively close to the people.

Wu Xin was still digesting the content, and the female knight Deverrich continued to sell her family: "Those Hungarians recommended by Father Erlan are unreliable, how can we Germans be loyal, we Germans are loyal to the warlock royal family." ”

"The Hungarians are also my loyal subjects." Wu Xin immediately instinctively said so.

"They are all criminals and traitors, otherwise His Highness Ladislaus would not have thrown them all to the Black Continent." The words of the Lady Knight de Vrerich cannot be counted as entirely wrong. These Hungarians did have a lot of criminals, and Ladislaus threw them to Wu Xin as waste.

The rest of the people were not very supportive of the Habsburgs' possession of Hungary, and they felt that the former king's cousin in Warsaw, the King of Poland, was more qualified to inherit the Hungarian throne than the Habsburgs.

"They can't all be traitors. Otherwise, he would have been put to death a long time ago. "Wu Xin is closer to the truth, those who fully support the king of Poland have been executed, and the rest are just not firm." At most, they are the family members of traitors, and in this place full of Xingyue cultists, they have no reason not to support me, and I hope that you and your father will not discriminate against them, let alone think that German-speaking people should be superior to others because of my background, and dare to ask for such an important position as the chief commissar before they even get off the ship! ”

Wu Xin's final tone was extremely harsh, he was actually the mayor of the port of Tripoli, and the financial power he had always delegated to Father Erlan, and Kessler's sphere of influence was the propaganda and ideological department.

The elder Deverlich is nominally a judge, but because Wu Xin actually attaches great importance to judicial power, he has little power in this regard.

In fact, he was mainly responsible for the infrastructure work, and he was responsible for the construction of the houses and wells.

Some other chores are fought over by themselves, and Wu Xin tries to balance them, whose faction did a little better last time will give more next time, and whoever is found to be corrupt will have a piece of the cake.

But on the whole, Wu Xin did not think about completely destroying Father Erlan or Old Deverrich.

Kessler's personal strength is strong, and although the responsible subordinates are important, they are relatively independent, so they are more detached.

And the conflict between old Deverrich and Father Erlan is straightforward.

But for Wu Xin, he can accept them competing for interests, but personnel power cannot be casual, and what kind of background people are allowed to hold important positions means which basic plate to choose.

Figuring out who is the enemy and who is the friend, that is, what is the composition of one's own basic plate, is the most important thing for the leader of a group.

His base cannot be limited to the Germans, this is the northern part of the Black Continent. One of the core regions of the Star Moon Cult, he must hold all the Europas.

Even with the support of Ladislaus's new Hungarians and the Knights Hospitaller's original Italians, his situation was precarious.

"Yes, yes, Your Highness." The port of Tripoli, controlled by Wu Xin, prospered, and his majesty grew. The female knight was so frightened that she almost fell to her knees. "I'm not disloyal to you."

Looking at her appearance, Wu Xin felt that he had gone a little too far.

All this is actually a side effect of the absorption of the plane, the situation of the main plane will change somewhat, the city will change, but the government departments will not change at the same time.

Wu Xin's tax and religious departments are too small and completely uncoordinated compared to the port of Tripoli at present.

This naturally creates a power vacuum, which various factions are eager to fill.

At the same time, it leads to a bit of disconnection between the hosts. Produce some of the chieftains' misdeeds that they don't even know.

Fortunately, Wu Xin, through continuous efforts, created a lot of contradictions between the old Deverlich and Father Erlan, and they were completely unable to cooperate together, so he quickly understood the situation.

Today's incident is obviously that after the great development of the port of Tripoli, some members of the Deverish family who were not satisfied with the mess in Germany came to the Black Continent to defect, and the old Deverish took the opportunity to engage in fraud. arranged some fat shortages to his family.

However, Wu Xin didn't plan to take it too seriously, after all, he really needed a group of German nobles.

So Wu Xin finally slowed down his tone: "That's it." When I meet your uncle's family, if they are really as capable as you say, there is no problem in arranging some positions, but whether you enter the army or the government must listen to me. ”

"Thank you, thank you. You're so nice, you're so nice. Wu Xin's words made the female knight Deverichy excited again, after all, she was inexperienced and was slightly frightened by Wu Xin and was confused, "I'll serve you well later, you can do whatever you like." ”

Of course, she is indeed more content. As long as she didn't start as a soldier, the knight Deverichie felt worthy of her family.

At the dinner party, as soon as the daughter and father met, the old Deverichy knew that his daughter was a little anxious, so that Wu Xin took advantage of it, but Wu Xin had just had a glass of wine with him, and he was still polite, so the matter was solved in bed.

It's obviously not a bad thing for a woman to let her man get a little cheaper.

"Uncles and brothers and sisters should still have some possessions, so they don't have to take on such a jealous position immediately, it's better to be a noble position." The female knight Dverrich also felt that she used her charm to make Wu Xin give benefits, "Even if they also brought more than a dozen tenants, I am afraid that they will have to suffer, Cesare said, we cannot speak German and be superior." ”

"He said that?" Old Devrichy was startled at first, but quickly calmed down, "Don't worry. ”

He quickly understood that there were so few German-speaking people, and Wu Xin certainly couldn't rely entirely on Germans, but he definitely didn't want Germans to increase.

"But........." said the knight de Vrerich, looking at her father, a little worried, "it seems that the chief grain collector will indeed not be able to grab it." ”

"Okay, don't worry about these things, work hard, it's serious to give me a grandchild." Old Deverich ignored her, in fact, the Deverrich family could not get mixed up in Germany to come south, they suffered a great defeat in the power field of the Saxony electorate, lost most of their property, and were very eager to come to the port of Tripoli to make a fortune. "Okay, don't eat vegetables, eat more meat, eat meat to have strength."

The dishes at the banquet were very rich, and the land was fertile, so it was natural to have a variety of things that could not be made into nutrients, but tasted very good.

The dining environment is good as a whole, and the dishes are not coarse, but the light is very dim.

The port of Tripoli does not produce candles, and although it is not very expensive to buy candles from Venice, Wu Xin is a little reluctant after all.

"It's not something I work on, and that Princess Serafi is so annoying, Cesare doesn't see him, and he begs to see him all day long, it's so shameless." The lady Knight Devreich has a good relationship with her cousin, but she is still worried about her, "My intelligence department must also be expanded, or arrange a good position for her." ”

"Don't worry about it, you can't do intelligence work." Old Deverichy knew that his daughter was not intelligence material at all, and he was already in a high position, so it was impossible to give such an important position to his daughter. "If you can keep the position of the guards, you can keep them."

Old Devrichy saw it very accurately, Wu Xin just let his daughter take charge of the intelligence department because he didn't have the right people for the time being.

But the intelligence services can't keep it, and the police can't.

In the past, the port of Tripoli was extremely poor, not only did there be no dedicated law enforcement team, but Wu Xin was basically free of taxes. Father Erlan's target is some large landowners and big businessmen, and it is carried out in a de facto tax system, which has many disadvantages, but at least it does not require too many manpower and resources, and it can be used quickly.

It meets Wu Xin's needs, but now the situation is different, the port of Tripoli has become self-sufficient, and the tax department must be expanded.

Old Devleich knew that he had a daughter to rely on, so he was not in a hurry to squeeze to Wu Xin's side. Others aren't so confident.

"These are all gentry of considerable prestige, and it is acceptable for them to be in charge of collecting taxes." Most of Kessler's first recommendations are Hungarians.

"These people are deeply rooted in the local area, and it is easy to get caught in the township, so it is better to give a little opportunity to local young people with no background, and let everyone see that we also treat Xingyue believers equally." The Italians had run out of the lineage of Father Erlan, so they began to bring up local youth.

"These people don't have connections. To be deceived, it must be someone like Pastor Yarra who is acceptable in every way. in order to serve as the chief grain officer. "Yara is not Hungarian, but of course Kessler is from Kessler's faction.

Father Ayran and Kessler are fighting for ownership of both the grain and the port.

They all introduced their own agents, and because of the dim lighting, although the restaurant was not large, everyone felt that the conversation was quite private, so it was not so hypocritical and polite.

Some direct bayonet words also began to be spoken.

"Most of the young people in the area are disgusted by our rule. It is dangerous to let them hold any official position, Father Erlan, don't let you waste the public for your own sake. ”

"Hungarians get preferential treatment everywhere, in fact, everyone has an opinion, I think Kessler first you have to be realistic, not just faith. I don't have any ability to look at it. ”

Of course, this is also because the interests involved are important.

Wu Xin stopped the argument before they could pour out the truth further.

"I have to think about the position of the chief grain collector again, but the burden of port taxation will be picked up by Yara first." Wu Xin's words made Kessler's face red, this is as important as the chief grain officer, and in the long run, even more important, the Tripoli group is based on Hong Kong after all.

Yara's biggest asset is her Flame Lord priest rank, as well as her Zuwara immigration background, of course, because she is a reincarnation, even if she makes some money, it will always be beneficial to the reincarnation mission.

Father Erlan was very disappointed, but Wu Xin also comforted him: "These people you recommended are also very good, and the position of tax collector can still be held." ”

Wu Xin can't let the person who manages the finance be directly responsible for the taxation of a certain field, otherwise his inclination on the issue of investment will be too great, if the port tax is directly managed by him, then Father Erlan will instinctively get stuck in the investment in other fields when investing.

Although the port is indeed the most important department in Tripoli, it is not wise from a management point of view, not to mention that although Wu Xin values the port, he does not have a fleet after all, so he still has to try to balance the development.

"I hope you can report the specific number of port taxes to me as soon as possible." Wu Xin nodded to Yara, and the female pastor was also excited.

She hurriedly promised: "I will not let you down." ”

"Okay." Wu Xin responded simply and seriously, he intended to make her rich, but of course he wouldn't tell her directly.

"Alright, Father Ellan, don't be too disappointed, the taxes are collected, and they are not going to your coffers?" Wu Xin's words are comforting, handling is a very important thing, but his later words are really weighty, "Now there are still more than 20,000 thalers in the treasury, and when this batch of grain is sold, I will allocate 20,000 talers to you, and you can build a church." ”

"Praise you, and God will bless you." Father Erlan was really overjoyed.

Wu Xin had been asking the Roman side to send a cardinal archbishop to negotiate with him, and then send several promising young priests to the port of Tripoli as a condition for him to build the cathedral.

In this case, Father Aylan can only be the treasurer, and he will not be able to touch the executives of the Shirek Church.

In that case, Father Erlan would most likely be able to get the bishop position.

"Alright, let's go to the study, it's not over tonight."

Then Wu Xin brought the father and daughter of Devreich and his daughter, Father Erlan, Pastor Yara, and Kessler to the study, and after dividing the fruit, he naturally still had some strength to do.

"I'm going to catch all the leading figures of Egyptian immigration." Wu Xin was murderous, if he wanted to really get the plane to absorb this fat girl's steak, he had to remove the bones in the meat first.

"Don't rush this matter." Father Erlan immediately objected, "These Egyptians have been very suspicious of us since they migrated, and we haven't found a breakthrough for a while. ”

"Indeed, it's better to be careful." The Knight of Cassano also felt that it should not be rushed, "It is most dangerous to act hastily without knowing the information. ”

Kessler didn't speak, he felt that Wu Xin should be sure. (To be continued.) )
