In the days when the poor road was waiting for the officials to come, the Carter Kingdom was united in its unity, and the enemy was terrified, which was to give full play to their financial advantages, and the savings of the seafaring powers for many years were too huge, and the gold coins were spent like flowing water, and they purchased and built a batch of siege equipment in a short period of time, ready to be transported to the front line with grain and grass.

In addition, they also used money to hire dozens of mercenary groups, large and small, to form a division of about 100,000 mercenaries to go to the front.

The most troublesome thing for the poor Dao is that there are selected from various mercenary groups in this division, and hundreds of mages form a mage group, under the command of the electric archmage Tuketan, most of these guys are intermediate mages, and they can cast quite powerful spells. Is it really a problem for my henchmen?

And Poor Dao now only has two mages, Kerry and Mei'er, although it is not very difficult for them to drag the altar alone, but the group of mages is not so easy to deal with, and the victory or defeat is unknown. However, the arrival of Mei'er has brought a lot of fun to my always monotonous life. She and Princess Xiangxiang are beautiful beauties in the world, and as soon as the two meet, they have a good impression. It's a pity that Xiangxiang's identity can't be exposed yet, so she can only be locked up in a small house, otherwise, it would be even more beautiful to take the two of them on an outing!

Unfortunately, happy days are always short-lived, and after ten days, I have to face these troubles again. In addition to thirteen governors and forty-four lords, the king appointed officials. There are also a large number of other officials, in charge of security, administration, finance, etc., some of whom have already arrived, some of whom have not. That's all, there are already about three or four hundred people here, counting the subordinates, there are tens of thousands of moths from these big men, and the governor of the Ishihara family has brought three thousand people.

They are all not very satisfactory guys in the country. Even if they were sent here to open up the wasteland, if the feng shui here is good, they will definitely come to the guy with a more powerful background to replace them. So these people are all guys who are anxious to get a good grab and leave. If you don't manage it well, it's really a big hidden danger!

On a sunny morning, the hall of the Lord's Mansion of Qatar was full, and hundreds of officials were whispering something, and they were all nervously speculating about what tricks I, a scrupled chief, was going to play? Is something big going to happen?

When Poor Dao and his subordinates arrived at the venue with Nicholas, who had just arrived, these guys quickly stood up and applauded me to pay respect! Poor Dao also accepted their kindness with a smile. The thirteen provincial governors first took turns greeting me, then a bunch of sycophants came over, and then there were a few city lords with status. It took a long time to finish. I'm tired of being poor! Finally, all the introductions have been completed, and by the time they have all taken their seats, an hour has passed. Wasting so much time is murder, bureaucracy kills people!

"This time, please come, the main thing is to get to know everyone and get to know each other and get in touch with your feelings!"

"Your Excellency is polite, it is really an honor for Xia Guan and others to meet your lord!" said one of the oldest provincial governors in a hurry!

"Yes, yes, it's an honor to meet the legendary invincible commander!"

"Yes, my lord is wise and martial, chic and romantic~~~ (10,000 words are omitted below)!"

These guys can't do anything else, in terms of the ability to pat on the back, one top three, they are all suppressed and frustrated when they say it, and they are extremely fluent!

"Today, even if we meet, we will work together for the kingdom in the future, and we must cooperate with each other, and when the time comes, please ask your seniors to help you a lot!"

"Of course, my lord has orders, and we will definitely do our best to die to the death!"

"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll thank you for Your Majesty the King first!" Poor Dao smiled: "Tonight, I will hold a banquet to entertain everyone in the City Lord's Mansion, please be sure to enjoy it!"

"It's a great honor!"

"It's an honor!" echoed another round of approval.

Quack, we are all happy, in this case, we should talk about something unhappy! Seeing that they were almost happy, Poor Dao began to turn his face and said gloomily: "But!"

The people in the hall were stunned by my angry roar, it was fine just now, how can you say that you will change your face?

"Calling everyone here this time, there are still some things to announce!" Poor Dao coldly glanced at the trembling people below, and continued with satisfaction: "Lao Tzu is fighting for life and death on the front line, and someone dares to deduct Lao Tzu's military salary behind his back, is it tired!"

When the poor road was talking, my subordinates came out with swords one after another, one by one, glaring angrily, overflowing with murderous aura, and the people below were scared and began to tremble, at this time, I didn't know what I was going to do, anyway, this posture didn't look like I was going to do a good thing, so I didn't dare to speak!

"Marshal Nicholas, who withheld your military pay?" asked the poor Dao angrily!

"That's him!" Nicholas complained in his heart, he was dragged onto the thief ship by me, but now that he can't not give me face in public, right?

Gaga, the poor road is to meet Nicholas to make a choice between our dragon family and the king, this kid is ostensibly my retainer, but in fact no one knows what he thinks. I've long been resentful of him for hiding Varner's plot against Kasia, and this is my chance. As long as he helps me pit the people appointed by the king today, then he will have no way out, and he will go to the dark with the poor road!

"What else do you have to say!" Poor Dao roared at that guy: "Lao Tzu's subordinates have fought bloodily to fight for their lives, and you still dare to deduct Lao Tzu's military salary, are you still not human?"

"I~I~ I am the governor appointed by the king, and the finances of my land must be raised by the king. Should you go to the king if you want a military salary?" the guy was so frightened that he couldn't make a speech, but he still defended it stiffly!

"Did the king appoint you to rob the daughters of the people, and did he appoint you to play with the children of the nobles to death?"

"You~ you're spewing blood!" he still wanted to argue!

"Spray you bastard! Grab it and give me two hundred military sticks!" Poor Dao shouted to his subordinates: "Then send me a prisoner cart, load a wooden cage, and send it back to the royal capital!"

"I am an official personally appointed by His Majesty the King. You have no right to punish me!" The boy still wants to bring out the king to press me, it's so naïve, it's not finished yet. was put over and tied up by a group of wolf-like subordinates and pulled down.

As soon as this punishment was taken, the rest of the people were almost frightened and stupid! Two hundred military sticks? If they don't die after the fight, they will be crippled, and beating the prisoner cart and loading the wooden cage are even more tricks used to deal with heavy guessers. Such a heavy punishment makes it clear that it is not for that woman. It's for the sake of military pay, and I just want to declare personal vendettas. In terms of military salary, that guy was reasonable, so I found another excuse to punish him, and under my fierce gaze, none of the hundreds of people in the hall dared to stand up and plead!

"Ahh Spare me!" The voice of the poor child of the Ishihara family came from afar, and everyone who listened to it was furious!

"Everyone, do you think this matter is fairly handled by the general?" asked the poor Dao in a friendly manner!

"Notarization! Notarization!" Everyone at the bottom watched such a performance, how could anyone dare to blow up the stab?

"Very good!" Poor Dao suddenly smiled and said: "You listen, I didn't want to be like this, who told him to be so ignorant? I think that the green dragon iron horse of my Ni family, there are nearly a million people here, and he openly contradicts me like this, so I really can't get off the stage? If I don't punish him severely, how will I serve the public in the future?"

"Yes, yes, your lord is wise!" they began to say nice things again. Poor Dao's words just now are to wake them up, there is a million army of the Blue Dragon Legion, and the king's words are not as good as my words, now looking at their cooperation, they must have understood!

"Very well, in that case, I will announce a few things now, and I hope everyone will abide by them, okay?" asked Poor Dao with a smile!

"Of course, of course, the words of the lord are orders, and the officials should obey them!" They immediately expressed their willingness to obey my orders!

"Good! good!" said with a smile: "Since everyone is here to contribute to the country, naturally they don't want the country's interests to be lost?"

"Yes, yes!

"That's good!" I straightened my face again, and said solemnly: "From now on, the tax should be as much as it is, and no one is allowed to charge an extra copper plate at this juncture when I am fighting with Carter's army! If we meet the original people of these thirteen provinces, it will always make more than 20 million people, and Lao Tzu will not be able to suppress it even if he has a million-strong army? Don't forget the experience of Vanna's invasion of Kasia!"

The people below were silent this time, each bowing their heads and saying nothing, as if they were all thoughtful.

"I also know that it's not easy for everyone to come once, maybe it took a lot of money from the family to get through the relationship, isn't it?"

"Yes, my lord, Mingjian, we all had a lot of connections to get here, huh?"

"Besides, we have so many subordinates with us. You have to take care of their meals, huh?"

"In order to be a city lord, my family still borrowed a lot of usury?"

"Damn, what are you? Lao Tzu even gave away his sister!"

Dizzy, the poor road just said casually, they knew that they would get off the donkey, and together they went to the poor road to open the bitter meeting?

"Shut up!" Poor Dao glared, and they immediately realized that now was not the time to complain, and I was not the object of their complaints, so they hurriedly stopped talking.

"I mean, you can collect a little less tax, but the population base here is larger, and the total amount is very small. In addition, there are abundant mineral resources here, and almost everywhere there are some of them. There are no minerals, and there are other resources, so you can't be poor. I know everything about you, so I won't close my eyes when it's time to close my eyes. But don't go too far!" Poor Dao woke them up, "Besides, I haven't been here very long. After defeating Prince Sisil on the other side, I will return to the royal capital, and when the time comes, nothing will be my responsibility here!"

"We promise to do what your lord wants!" I mean that they don't care if they corrupt the country's minerals, but they can't force the people here, and besides, this situation only lasts as long as I am here. How many more days can I stay? So, they're definitely going to give it to the land! But God knows how much to give.

"What's more, you have to manage my subordinates and yourself well, and no one is allowed to harm the people to me, if I hear anyone dare to rob a woman on the street again, the idiots of the Ishihara family will be doomed!

"Understood!" they quickly replied!

"Finally, I want to invite everyone, take a look at some good things!" Poor Dao smiled and said, "Come on!"

Immediately, the guards below brought dozens of people who were tied up sturdily, and there was an exclamation in the hall, because there were many people who were tied up, they all knew each other, and they were good friends!

"Many of you may know these guys, and some of them are even good friends of theirs, but do you know that they are all spies sent by Prince Sisil of Carter!" said the poor Dao angrily!

Suddenly a thousand waves were stirred, and as soon as the poor Dao's words fell, the hall exploded.

"Impossible?"

"Well, how is that possible? We're good friends, aren't we?"

"He's a Han man, and a Han man can be Carter's spy?"

The people below just don't believe it, in fact, I already knew that if they knew that these people were spies, and guaranteed that no one would dare to contact them, then they would be sentenced to the crime of treason, and they would be able to destroy the nine clans?

"Let them speak for themselves!" said Poor Dao sneered!

So, under the arrangement of the guards, these people told their identities and purposes one by one. They had all been cared for by Kerry's necromancy in advance, and in front of the top-level terrification technique, they had long been scared to the point of incontinence, and now as long as they were not subject to the test of that fear, they could do anything!

After listening to their narration, the fellows all began to break out in a cold sweat, and they all turned pale and trembled, and looked at my face nervously. Now, even if their lives are in my hands, as long as their looks are on, Poor Dao understands that the matter is done, and waves his hand to ask his subordinates to take these bound people away.

"Ladies and gentlemen, these people are all spies of Prince Sisil, and now the evidence is conclusive, right?" said with a sneer, "Are you and them, Carter's spies, colluding with each other to plot against each other?"

"No, my lord, we have been wronged!"

"We are all deceived by them!

Almost all the officials below knelt down, those who didn't know, those who had a relationship didn't matter, and none of them dared to slack off, all of them knelt down to me to complain and plead. These guys are really frightened by me now, after all, no one can save from the crime of treason, and even the king will not pity it in the slightest. They can already imagine that the unlucky guy from Ishihara just now will definitely be detained for the great crime of treason and collaboration with the enemy, and after he returns, even his family will be severely punished, but I will definitely be fine, not only will I have no fault, but I will have merit! No one knows what I want, if I take credit from them, they will be considered dead!

"I know that everyone has difficulties, maybe they are all wronged!" said slyly: "That's it, what about the matter, I need to continue to investigate, everyone go back to do business with peace of mind, as long as the things that His Majesty the King and I have explained are done, I firmly believe that there will be no misunderstanding!

"Yes, yes!" They understood that this was to catch them by the pigtails? As long as the things I explained were done well, then it would be fine, but if it could not be done, then wait for An to be punished for treason! Although he was absolutely reluctant in his heart, how could he not bow his head under the roof? Now he can only admit it!

Hehe, with these spies in hand, Poor Dao thinks they shouldn't do stupid things anymore. After successfully putting these guys in order, Poor Dao has already begun to carefully prepare the next plan!
