In the territory of the Holy Cross, the administrative halls of the fifty administrative cities were surrounded by all kinds of civilians in one morning, and the things that these administrative officials had done and had not done were all turned over, and the noise was boiling. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The weeds watched coldly, and the military headquarters symbolically sent some soldiers to maintain law and order, but they just didn't let these civilians rush to the government hall.

The government affairs personnel in and out of the administrative hall are all escorted back and forth by some security squads, and the efficiency of the administrative affairs of the entire Holy Cross Territory is like a horse-drawn carriage driving into a swamp, muddy and difficult to walk.

Ren Nian kept walking back and forth in Zhou Mo's study, asking Mina when the lord would see him at an average rate of once every half an hour.

Mina sat in the corner of the study, looking at the old tree in the courtyard through the wide open window, and every time Ren Nian asked her, Mina just pursed her lips and smiled, without saying a word.

"Yo, Lao Ren, what are you making of, you've been in the City Lord's Mansion all morning, when did the Ministry of Government move here?"

But the fat man walked in with his arms shaken, and when he saw that Zhou Mo was not in the study, he found a chair by himself, sat against the window, enjoyed the cool breeze, and said to Mina:

"Lord Inside, pity the poor fat man, give me a drink!"

Mina smiled slightly, got up and left the study, she knew that the fat man had something to say to Ren Nian.

Seeing Mina leaving, and closed the door of the study, Ren Nian stopped, leaned over to the fat man, and asked in a low voice:

"Why don't you see me, fatty, do you know anything? ”

The fat man rolled his eyes and said:

"You haven't been here all morning, I just came, what do you know?"

Ren Nian was stunned by the fat man's chest, took a deep breath, and then asked:

"You only saw the adults in the morning, what are you doing here?"

The fat man shook his head and said:

"Military affairs, you want to know, ask the boss, and the boss will tell you that you will naturally know.

Ren Nian was stunned again, his face was a little annoyed, and his voice was raised, and he said:

"Fatty, don't embarrass me here, do you know that now the administrative halls in various places have been in difficulty, they have just experienced the Holy Cross invitation, and they are surrounded by those civilians, merchants and landlords, once there is a change, the territory will immediately change greatly, have you ever reported this matter to the adults?"

The fat man still looked indifferent, and said casually:

"With the army and weeds, the Holy Cross territory will not be in chaos, don't worry about it!"

Ren Nian was furious and shouted:

"Fatty, do you know how much money is allocated to various projects, factories, and departments in the Holy Cross Territory every day, and how much taxes, finances and trades have to be collected through the Administration Department, as well as civil lawsuits and transactions, and how much is delayed in this morning's work?"

"Do you think this Holy Cross territory only needs to be suppressed by the army and monitored by weeds?"

"Once the government affairs are chaotic, the army's military expenses, equipment, and logistics supplies cannot be supplied in time, and who will do the salaries of your weeds, logistics deployment, and accommodation arrangements?"

Ren Nianba The fat man was stunned, his eyes straightened, and after a while, he seemed to realize the seriousness of the problem, and asked with some hesitation on his face:

"Is it really as serious as you say?"

Ren Nian didn't say anything, just glanced at the fat man coldly.

The fat man was a little anxious, circled around Ren Nian, and then whispered:

"I've already reported the matter of the administrative halls of each city, but the adults don't seem to be in a hurry, and we we're only watching from the sidelines. ”

At this moment, Ren Nian frowned, the lord had already gotten the news, he was not surprised, such a big thing, it would be strange if the fat man didn't let the adults know about it for the first time.

With the wisdom of adults, it is impossible not to be aware of the consequences of the chaos in government affairs, but why did they not see themselves, and did not send someone to deal with it?

What Ren Nian and the fat man didn't know was that Zhou Mo was no longer in Mocheng at this time.

In the central region, the main city on the western edge, and in the military camp of Xileng City, Zhou Mo was reviewing the first regular legion under the escort of the Punishment Knights led by the Punishment Order.

Degerst rode a white fox with drooping ears and no energy, following Zhou Mo's Holy Light Unicorn.

Zhou Mo walked around the heavy party formation of the First Conventional Legion, and was very satisfied with the neat military appearance and exquisite source energy equipment, and the military source energy workshop was very effective.

Looking back at Degst, just as he wanted to praise a few words, he saw a white fox with his ears and eyelids hanging down, and even his steps were lazy.

"Degst, what's wrong with Xiaobai? ”

Degerst was wearing a full-body armor at this time, and when he heard this, he hurriedly pushed up his face armor, showed an embarrassed smile, and said:

"My lord, Xiaobai secretly entered his subordinate's wine cellar last night and drank most of his subordinate's wine, and he hasn't sobered up yet!"

Zhou Mo couldn't help laughing, and said to Xiaobai:

"Xiaobai, your master is reluctant to give you a drink on weekdays, next time you are hungry, don't sneak into the wine cellar, come to me, let's drink whatever wine we want!"

Xiao Bai was shocked when he heard this, and despite the fact that Ren Nian was still sitting on his body, he jumped forward to Zhou Mo's side, and his hairy head rubbed Zhou Mo's body affectionately.

Reaching out and rubbing the soft fur of the white fox, Zhou Mo glanced at Degerst teasingly, and then patted the white fox's head.

Xiaobai retreated with interest, and his spirit improved a lot.

Zhou Mo finished reviewing the army and took Ren Nian to the legion headquarters.

"This is the first time that the army has left the government system, and businessmen are responsible for logistics transportation and deployment, are you sure?"

Zhou Mo asked, and Degerst swallowed a mouthful of saliva, to be honest, this kind of logistics mode, Degerst's first use, really has no bottom in his heart.

"What, not sure?"

Zhou Mo turned his back to Degest, playing with a stone carving ornament placed on the main hall, an eagle at that time, extremely exquisite, especially a pair of eagle eyes inlaid with sky blue transparent gemstones, which was very valuable.

Degerst said truthfully:

"My lord, if you talk about conquering the western region, then Degerst is absolutely sure, the five major legions in the west are now all in the north, with those noble private armies, they are definitely not our opponents, but in terms of logistics, it has always been arranged and dispatched by the old man, and this is the first time that his subordinates are responsible for themselves, and they are still dealing with those merchants, to be honest, Degerst has no bottom in his heart!"

Zhou Mo groped the eyes of the gem of the eagle ornament with his thumb and fingertips, it was a little angular in his hand, but with a sharp lubrication, this gem was the best, I don't know where the first regular army commander got it.

sighed in my heart, saying that corruption will be rampant in the middle and late stages of an empire, but I don't know that when the country is founded, it is where the biggest dividends lie.

Thinking of this, the love for this ornament in my heart was a little less, and I threw it on the top of the case with a bang.

This sound startled Degerst, and he immediately fell to one knee on the ground, and said in a sonorous voice:

"Your Excellency is angry, and your subordinates will do their best to handle the logistics properly. ”

Zhou Mo turned around and said with a smile:

"It's none of your business, sit down and talk!"

Degerst breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at the ornaments that Zhou Mo threw on the case, two sky-blue gems carved into eagle eyes were shining in the sun, Degerst didn't know why Zhou Mo was angry, and scolded the commander of the first legion in his heart.

I silently wrote down this in my heart, and planned to wear small shoes for the commander of the first army a few more times in the future.

Sitting on the side, Degerst heard Zhou Mo say:

"This war is not fast, only slow and stable, how to fight the war is your business, but when to fight and when not to fight, you must obey my orders!"

Degst's face was bitter, this order was like a rope tied to his waist, Zhou Mo could only fight if he let go, and as soon as Zhou Mo pulled, he had to stop, this was too uncomfortable.

"Your Excellency, you also know that once a war starts, sometimes it is up to you to fight or stop. ”

Zhou Mo smiled, pointed at Degst, and said:

"You just have to listen to orders, and I have my own sense of other things, and I won't make you too embarrassed. ”

When Zhou Mo said this, Degerst naturally didn't say anything more, and bowed slightly.

"You should prepare quickly, remember that all the businessmen who cooperate with them must let them control their mouths, and try to be as secretive as possible before the start of this war, at least until the start of peace talks. ”

Degerst was in debt again.

Zhou Mo saw that he agreed happily, and his aggrieved mood in the government affairs system these days was relieved, and there was a real smile in his eyes.

"Degest, remember, under the attack of the army, other things are naturally bound by military discipline, and you, as a commander, naturally know what to do, only one thing, those noble retainers, one counts as one, and I have protected them all, but now the political officials in the territory can no longer be used!"

Degerst's expression was shocked, and he immediately noticed the hidden benefits in it, looked up at Zhou Mo, and just saw Zhou Mo looking at him with a smile in his eyes, and immediately understood that this was the benefit that the adults allowed him.

Standing up, Degerst bowed and said respectfully:

"Thank you, sir. ”

Seeing that Degerst understood his kindness, Zhou Mo smiled with relief and said:

"You are from a noble background, you should understand that the commander of this army, no one can do it all the time, and there will be no good end if you stay in this position for a long time, and the candidates for the future government will definitely be among the retainers of these nobles. ”

While Degerst was more and more moved, he was also worried about Ren Nian's situation, and at the same time, Degerst asked in a low voice:

"My lord, after all, Lao Ren has a great merit, is it ......?"

Zhou Mo stretched out his hand to stop Degst's words and said:

"Don't worry, you, fat man, Ren Nian, are all old people who started with me, Benjue will not let Ren Nian not have a good end, he naturally has his arrangement, the stall of the government affairs of the Holy Cross Territory, without him staring, I don't feel at ease, but, recently he is going to lie dormant for a while, after all, such a big turmoil, to the following, Benjue must always have an explanation!"

Saying this, Degerst felt a little relieved.

Zhou Mo frowned, stretched out his hand and beckoned Degerst to him, and commanded in a low voice:

"Ben Jue asked you to protect those noble retainers, not only for the war, but also for our interior!"

Degerst was slightly stunned, then understood what Zhou Mo meant, and said in surprise:

"My lord, do those political officials have this power?"

Zhou Mo sneered and said:

"Naturally, they don't have this power, but the people behind them are not an opponent to be underestimated, so it's better to guard against it. ”

After this matter is ordered, all the key matters have been explained.

Zhou Mo sat on the captain's big chair, leaned back on the back of the chair, and then folded his legs together on top of the case, and the whole person relaxed.

Seeing this, Degerst's whole person also relaxed, reached out and picked up the black tea from the coffee table, leaned back on the chair and took a sip, and said:

"My lord, you have arranged for the families of those girls in your castle and some related households to be in charge of the military supplies of this war, do you want to peel off a layer of skin from them, or do you want to give them some benefits?"

Zhou Mo nodded Dergerst with a smile and said:

It depends on whether they are obedient or not, and obedient people will naturally be rewarded with benefits, and those who are disobedient will be stripped off a layer of skin. ”

Degerst nodded, with Zhou Mo's words, he knew it in his heart.

"My lord, then you see, if the fat man asks for me, will I give him a chance to make a fortune?"

Zhou Mo thought about it, the fat man hadn't made any mistakes recently, and he was able to do things well, so he said:

"If the fat man wants to come, it's okay, but if you come openly, he has to do what others do, and you two are not allowed to manipulate it secretly. ”

Hearing this, Degerst smiled, looked at Zhou Mo and said:

"My lord, you're not fair, those of your related households will be directly arranged, and the fat man will have to compete clearly, let the fat man know, and he will definitely talk to you for a long time. ”

Waving his hand, Zhou Mo said playfully:

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'll tell Mina Qianshu about this when I go back, and when the time comes, the fat man will have them to deal with. ”

Degerst laughed even louder, and the group of aunts and grandmothers knew that the fat man and their mother's family were grabbing food, and the fat man was afraid that it would be difficult.

"Adults have unparalleled wisdom, in this way, the fat man will not dare to come to see you for a long time, let alone talk to you. ”

At this time, the miniature teleportation array in Zhou Mo's arms suddenly lit up, which made Zhou Mo's face become gloomy in an instant.

took out a note from his arms and glanced at its contents, Zhou Mo stood up directly in anger and shouted:

"Daring!"

Degerst stood up at the same time, his hand on the cross-shaped greatsword placed aside, and said murderously:

"My lord, the Holy Cross Knights Legion outside the city is on standby at any time, and you can enter the city immediately after you give the order!"

Zhou Mo looked at Degerst and said:

"What's the use of entering the city, who can they kill?"
