Just when the highest level of the human race began to make frequent contact with the high-level of the alien race and began to negotiate peace, the original boiling tide in the Holy Cross Territory became calm in one day, no, to be precise, within an hour. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Farmers are busy going home to fight for water, and merchants are overwhelmed by the sudden dumping of goods on the market.

In the eyes of farmers and businessmen, the loss of interests in the present and the competition for interests that may occur in the future are of course the former important.

These civilians were instigated by a few ambitious people in their respective fields, and at this time, their own livelihoods were affected, who had the leisure to go to the party and demonstrate?

In Ren Nian, he withdrew from the Ministry of Government Affairs, closed his home, and indulged in sex.

The Ministry of Government existed in name only, and all local government affairs were reported to the Mocheng City Lord's Mansion from then on, and the power was silently taken into his own hands by Zhou Mo.

Of course, everything has a benefit and a disadvantage, and Zhou Mo calmed down the turmoil in the territory and took back power is advantageous.

And the sudden increase in work every day also made Zhou Mo quite distressed.

casually threw a document out, and the originally slightly noisy city lord's mansion hall became silent in an instant.

"Tell the acting administrative officer of Mocheng, whether it is his government affairs hall or the city lord's mansion of Benjue, he will not eat an egg with a gold coin or a pound of beef with ten gold coins!"

The air pressure in the chamber was instantly so low that it was impossible to breathe.

"After telling him, the weeded people went to get people, and the homes of the previous administrative officials of Mocheng were all copied!"

These government officials want to embezzle and make money, Zhou Mo understands, and he is not angry.

Greed is the root of human inferiority, which is objectively indestructible, and is an innate natural factor, so Zhou Mo is very tolerant of this.

But corruption and greed came to his head, let him Zhou Mo be teased as a fool, this is something that Zhou Mo absolutely cannot allow.

"Where's Mina, order her to come to me quickly!"

Zhou Mo's family, the diet is all in charge of Mina, the housekeeper, and all the expenses must go through her hands, others don't know about Zhou Moxin, but it's absolutely impossible for Mina not to know.

In the spacious conference hall, hundreds of Zhou Mo's retainers all lowered their heads, dealing with the work at hand.

The joy and anger of one person overrides the joy and anger of ten thousand, this is the leader of the emperor.

"Your Excellency!"

Mina came to the council chamber and bowed generously, and even Mina had a little vanity and excitement on her face.

It was the first time she had appeared on such an occasion, in the past, she had seen Zhou Mo, and she was also in the study or bedroom, but now she was able to stand as a woman, standing in the highest place of decision-making in the Holy Cross Territory, which made Mina's whole body tremble with excitement.

As for Zhou Mo calling her here, Mina was not worried, she didn't have the money she needed for daily use.

Zhou Mo didn't give Mina a good face, pointed to the property report on the ground, and said:

"You see it clearly!"

Mina took a few steps forward, picked up the report, glanced at it, and with a confused look on her face, she spoke:

"My lord, the accounts recorded in this report do not match the internal accounts, and the difference is very great, and the price of each item of material has increased dozens of times. ”

This was something that Zhou Mo didn't expect, looking at Mina for a while, suddenly Zhou Mo smiled, his face became relaxed, and said:

"This matter will be handed over to you to investigate, and after the investigation is clear, write out a report and hand it over!"

Mina was slightly stunned, but immediately reacted, took the report and retreated.

A moment later, a staff officer came in and reported:

"My lord, Miss Qianshu said that everything is ready for the Grand Theater, please go and watch it. ”

Zhou Mo nodded, put down the pen in his hand, got up and left, calculated that the time is indeed almost there, and the Grand Theater should start!

............

In the Grand Theater of Eagle New Town, it is extremely lively at this time.

On the huge stage, a huge dark red curtain more than ten meters high hung down, and I don't know how many source energy lights focused on the curtain, waiting for the curtain to open.

Around the stage, the bowl-shaped auditorium, from low to high, was already full of people, and the noise was hidden in the faint light, and everyone was looking forward to it.

I don't know if I am looking forward to the upcoming performance, or if after the performance, the Holy Cross invitation will finally be lifted.

Zhou Mo led a team of Holy Cross knights to guard and silently appeared in the nearest box around the stands.

Mina changed her clothes and appeared in the box, and the two sisters Mia and Mina, along with Lin Dai'er, were all gorgeously dressed.

As soon as the three maids appeared, they naturally began to be busy with refreshments and serve Zhou Molai.

Mina handed over the list of performances, while Zhou Mo didn't look at it, just tilted his head and closed his eyes, taking advantage of the rare period of time to recuperate.

"Your Excellency, you've been working so hard these days. ”

Lin Daier stood behind Zhou Mo, massaged Zhou Mo's head, and spoke softly.

Zhou Mo shook his head slightly and said:

"I just took over the government affairs, and there are a lot of things, and those government officials are disgruntled, and they can't wait to even report the paper and pen expenses for me to deal with, but it's not hard, it's just that they're tired. ”

Zhou Mo is telling the truth, dealing with government affairs is indeed not hard for a source energy state life, but he needs to make decisions on big and small things, and his mental strength is extremely tiring.

"Let them be proud for a few days, it's a pity, if it weren't for what happened a few days ago, Ren Nian wouldn't have gone down so early. ”

Zhou Mo said with some pity.

Lin Dai'er was silent, and at this time, Mina glanced back, and a little maid gestured to her.

"My lord, can you start?"

Zhou Mo opened his eyes and asked:

"Although the previous performance is inconsequential, just to set off the atmosphere, but in the end, it is the first time that my Holy Cross territory has been established, and it is the first time that such a big event has been officially held, so I can't be careless. ”

"The troupe invited is top-notch?"

Mina replied with a smile:

"Look at what you asked, my lord, how could it not be a top-notch theater company, the most prestigious Platinum Jade Theater Company that had performed in Otto's palace dozens of times before the fall of the Otto Empire. ”

"The finale singer is the most valuable singer in recent years, I heard that Emperor Otto also had a mind to include this jade singer in the palace!"

This made Zhou Mo interested and asked:

"Oh, Emperor Otto's tempted singer, I'm afraid it's a lie, otherwise how can this singer still perform on stage?"

Mina explained with a smile:

"What the lord said, it may also be a rumor spread to coax his family, after all, what a character Emperor Otto is, even if the woman he fancies is famous, no matter how famous the Platinum Jade Troupe is, it can't be saved!"

Mina knew that since Emperor Otto had won a glimmer of life for most of the people around the imperial capital at the cost of his own life and royal inheritance, his own lord had a lot of respect for the last emperor, so he picked up good words at this time.

Zhou Mo smiled when he heard this, stretched out his hand and nodded Mina, and said:

"Your mind is getting more and more lively, and your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter, and you are in charge of Benjue's housekeeping expenses, and you don't know what is greasy? Although you didn't let Benjue suffer, but you didn't come forward to tell Benjue, although there are extenuating circumstances, but if Benjue investigates it, you can't escape the crime of negligence and concealment. ”

Mina was not afraid when she heard this, since Zhou Mo handed over this matter to her to deal with, she had no intention of blaming, and said with a smile at the moment:

"My lord, there was Lord Ren's face there before, although Mina is not afraid of him, but since we have not suffered, we must always give Lord Ren Nian some face. ”

Zhou Mo nodded, the previous head of Ren Nian's government affairs in the Holy Cross Territory was reported by Mina, and he couldn't dispose of Ren Nian because of this trivial matter, and he ruined the friendship between each other.

Mina concealed this matter, but it was for his sake, so as not to have a gap with Ren Nian in his heart.

"Well, since this matter has been left to you to deal with, I will not talk about it anymore. ”

Zhou Mo didn't want to say it, but Mina couldn't help but say it.

"My lord, don't talk about it, the people who handle it, Mina knows it in her heart, but there are many people involved, and there are no less than a thousand people involved in related interests, how to deal with it, you have to take the idea!"

Zhou Mo frowned, he didn't think that it would be so extensive, he looked at Mina and asked:

"You said that we did not suffer a loss in this matter, and the accounts of the Ministry of Government Affairs are dozens of times different from our internal accounts, so that means that the extra money in the accounts is taken from the government procurement expenses?"

Mina nodded.

"My lord Mingjian, it's true, in the territory, almost all government procurement departments are involved, everyone does this, it has almost become an unspoken rule, to deal with it, without your order, Mina can't deal with it. ”

Zhou Mo thought for a while and said:

"Find a few leaders to deal with it first, and you can record the rest into the roster and give it to me directly, and this will be another crime when calculating the general ledger!"

Mina breathed a sigh of relief, then asked:

"My lord, after that, can you start watching the show?"

............

The backstage of the stage is in a special position, because the huge stage is in the middle of the whole theater, and all this backstage is not behind the stage, but under the stage.

The light of the source energy lamp was bright, and hundreds of actors in exaggerated battle armor were ready, and a middle-aged man holding a replica of the Aquaman's scepter, wearing a Aquaman costume, was adjusting his state.

A singer with long platinum-blond hair and a bright red butterfly wing mask on her face is closing her eyes and concentrating.

After waiting for a while, the singer seemed to be a little impatient, and asked:

"What's going on, don't you start yet?"

A little playboy who had been looking down beside the singer hurriedly went out, found the person in charge of the backstage, a little maid in the castle of the Holy Cross, and asked:

"Girl, my singer asked, why don't you start yet? everyone's makeup has been completed, and the state has been brewed to fullness, if you don't start again, the mood is over, I'm afraid I won't be able to act today." ”

The little maid was only thirteen or fourteen years old, but her face was shrewd and capable, and when she heard this, she glanced at this little drama and said coldly:

"Nearly 50,000 spectators outside have been waiting for an hour, do you hear a voice saying impatient?"

The little drama suddenly reacted when he heard this, there was indeed something wrong, if it was said that on weekdays, the performance was delayed for even a quarter of an hour, and the audience would have already made a fuss, but at this time, the performance time had been pushed back and forth for nearly an hour, and there was no noise from the outside world.

"I heard that you also performed in the Otto Palace, could it be that you were so impatient when you performed for Emperor Otto?"

The little drama went back with a sneer.

The singer who played the princess of Aquaman opened her eyes when she heard this, and a trace of anger flashed in her jade-like eyes.

"It's too much of a deception, remove your makeup, and don't act!"

As soon as he said this, it didn't matter if he played a little trick, so he really wanted to take off the mask for the singer, but as soon as his hand was halfway out, he was hit aside by the singer's hand.

"What did you just say? Say it again. ”

The little drama trembled and repeated again:

"The maid said, you also performed in Otto's palace, aren't you so impatient when you perform for Emperor Otto?"

The singer took a deep breath and suddenly realized that among the audience outside, there was a lord whose status and power were no less than that of Emperor Otto.

In a few years, I am afraid that the Holy Cross Lord will become the Holy Cross Emperor!

"But I'm impetuous, you go and tell everyone, keep your mind in shape, this performance must achieve the best effect!"

Xiao Xizi doesn't understand why Singer-sama has two attitudes before and after, but the best thing about her is to be obedient.

At that moment, the words of the platinum jade singer were passed down one by one, and the whole troupe waited quietly.

............

In the box, Zhou Mo fell into silence and did not answer Mina's words for a long time.

A performance, now it is not within the scope of Zhou Mo's thinking, they are waiting, Zhou Mo suddenly remembered a question, how many businessmen and peasants made trouble the day before yesterday, and now there are many people in this big theater?

Thinking like this, Zhou Mo suddenly remembered a sentence: "The people can make it, but they can't know it!"

There have been many explanations of the wise words of the sage in his hometown, but standing in the position of the ruler, Zhou Mo suddenly understood this sentence.

This sentence is a wise saying for governing the country, some things, just tell everyone how to do it, let them know the reason for doing this, but it will give rise to many incidents.

It's not about human rights and freedoms, it's about differences in perspective.

Standing at the height of Zhou Mo, he sees the major events in the world and the future direction of the human race, while the ordinary people look at their own interests and losses every day.

The two visions can easily cause contradictions between the upper and lower levels.

If the king is not secret, he will lose his minister, and if he is not secret, he will lose his body.

This sentence also has the same effect.

Sometimes, even if ordinary people know that a policy may be good for society as a whole and good for their future, if the policy harms their immediate interests, they are dissatisfied and oppose it.

In this case, if you force them to accept it directly, without telling them why, the resistance is much smaller. And when the policy is implemented and the civilians enjoy the benefits of the policy, and then tell them why they did it back then, what they will gain is a piece of praise!

Thinking of this, Zhou Mo shook his head helplessly, thinking that the truth he realized was a fact that he could think of in his hometown.

The ruling class has always done this, but what is propagated is a different set of things.

This may be another form of inner and outer king!

Zhou Mo ordered a little tiredly:

"Let them do it!"

Mina saw Zhou Mo's exhaustion and leaned out, and after a while, the huge dark red curtain that wrapped the stage was pulled up, revealing the huge stage shrouded in lights.
