Chapter XXV. Third meeting

After a while, he restrained the fanatical expression on his face, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. Becoming a god is not just a matter of words, but also through one's own efforts.

He straightened his clothes, regained his usual calm and grace, and said, "Lisa, you are outside! ”

"Yes, sir. Lisa paused for a moment before replying in a trill.

Her heart was pounding, her expression was dazed, and she almost hit the pillar in the hallway. There is only one thought in my heart, how did the adults find out?

Listening to the panicked footsteps leaving, Lei Ming sighed helplessly, the door was too close to the desk, not even six meters. Lisa's self-thought low voice was no different from speaking loudly in his ear.

He put away his messy thoughts, looked at the empty table, and his heart moved, and the Book of Destiny appeared in his hand. The pages of the book automatically opened, revealing a red energy mark that had reached 30%.

"It's a 20% increase in energy, and it's progressing well. Lei Ming nodded in satisfaction and put away the Book of Destiny.

After dealing with so many official duties, he roughly figured out which types of documents brought more energy and which types of documents brought less energy. Energy absorption comes from changing the predetermined fate, and it is the Book of Destiny that determines everything, and it will extract energy according to the change situation.

Some people are destined to be kings, and if they are killed by his instructions, they will gain a lot of energy. And vice versa, some people are destined to be slaves, and if he puts the other party on the throne, he will also gain an extra amount of energy. In general, it is still determined by changing the size of an individual's future achievements.

"My lord, the Territory Officials are already waiting in the Council Hall, would you like to come over now?" Lisa said as she knocked lightly on the door.

Lei Ming came to his senses from his contemplation, straightened his clothes, opened the door and walked out. "Lisa, you are the Financial Secretary, let's go over together!"

"Yes, sir. Lisa replied calmly and quietly followed. She had fully regained her usual shrewdness and ability, and only occasionally when she looked up at Lei Ming's back, a hint of frenzy flashed in her eyes.

In the council hall, more than two dozen administrative officials sat in their seats and talked in low voices with the officials they knew next to them, each with obvious worry on their faces.

They were really a little scared, the viscount had been in office for more than two months and had only held two meetings, and each meeting was still fresh in their memory. For the first time, the surname was dismissed and more than 40 territorial officials were appointed, which put everyone in danger in the territory. The second time he didn't deal with the officials, but it was even more terrifying, and he directly announced the locust plague. This time is more terrifying, and now it's the third time, what will be announced?

More than twenty people shuddered in unison, looked at each other, and didn't dare to think about it anymore. Some timid officials are even considering whether to resign voluntarily, anyway, they are free people, educated, and can eat anywhere, so why be afraid here?

"Your Excellency. Seeing Lei Ming come in, all the officials got up and bent down to salute, and only after he sat down did they sit back in their seats.

Lei Ming looked at these restrained officials, like a hungry wolf seeing fat, and a red light appeared in his eyes. If you change all of these guys, you can get 5% of your energy, to say the least! If you change them for twenty rounds in a row, maybe you can advance to level 14 Earth Knight?

All the officials were uncomfortable by him, instinctively moved their bodies, and asked stubbornly, "Lord Lord, what are you doing with summoning us this time?"

Lei Ming thought about it for a while, and finally rejected this tempting idea. Not to mention changing twenty rounds, even two rounds, it is estimated that the territory will be a mess, and the gains outweigh the losses. He sighed regretfully, withdrew his gaze, and said, "This Viscount intends to build Port Vale into a city, a veritable port, so as not to continue to be the laughing stock of the nobles, and you can discuss how to build it." ”

Most of the cities built by the sea are named after the mainland, and they are generally small cities with tens of thousands of permanent residents, and occasionally medium-sized cities with more than 30,000 people.

With only 500 permanent residents, Port Vale could only be regarded as a small village technically, but it was changed to Port Vale by the 10th Viscount. For this reason, the Grant family became the laughing stock of the aristocracy, and was ridiculed by the aristocracy for 500 years, and it is still the talk of the nobility.

There are many things like this to put gold on their faces, such as Grant City, where the lord's mansion is located, which is obviously only a small city with more than 10,000 lords, and the thirteenth viscount applied to the kingdom to be a medium-sized city. What's even more ridiculous is that the king really agreed at that time.

"It seems that some things are really hereditary. Lei Ming rubbed his aching forehead, too lazy to continue to think about the rotten things of his nominal ancestor. He was afraid that if he recalled too much, he would lower his IQ. "Did the discussion come to a conclusion?"

"My lord, this is a city construction map that I drew based on everyone's opinions, so you can take a look at it. The Secretary for Civil Affairs stood up and respectfully handed it over.

Lei Ming stretched out his hand to take it, spread out the paper and looked at it. Although he doesn't understand these, he still has basic aesthetics, and this construction drawing is at least very well drawn, regardless of the specific implementation. It seems that I really underestimated these officials before, these people are not all waste, and they are still somewhat capable.

He looked up at the other party and joked, "Dale, if one day you don't want to work in the territory and you can't starve to death selling paintings, I promise." ”

Dale was shocked, and cold sweat ran down his face. Reflexively looked at Lei Ming's expression, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said with a weak heart: "Lord Lord, you have a good reputation, as long as you still have the time to use Dyers, I will not take the initiative to leave." ”

Lei Ming nodded with satisfaction, people have the ability to make sycophants, which is very good. "Dale, please tell me what's inside! To be honest, I don't understand. ”

All the officials were stunned for a moment, with a hint of sincere admiration in their fearful expressions. Everyone knew that Lei Ming didn't understand this, but admitting it to his face was indeed a bit unexpected. The aristocracy likes to brag about himself, and he wants to boast that he is omnipotent, and no one will take the initiative to admit that he has something that he can't.

"Yes, sir. Dale came back to his senses, straightened his face, and began to explain seriously.

He had planned to completely replace what was said in it if Lei Ming boasted that he knew how to build maps. Once he agreed to build, when the time came, something happened, and it was this viscount who was ashamed. He wasn't going to do it anyway, but now he had completely changed his mind.

Lei Ming sat on the chair and listened carefully, and occasionally asked a question, he still has more respect for people who have the ability. "Dale, why isn't there a magic tower on it?"

"My lord, are you going to keep the Magic Tower alive in Port Vale?" a hint of surprise flashed across Dale's face, and then he seemed to understand something, and admired, "I'll revise it right away." ”

The Magic Tower was built on Port Vale, and the Thunder was carefully considered. Once built, it will be able to detect not only assassins, but also ships. If there is a pirate attack, you can notify in advance. One of the most important reasons is to warn and deter Sayles from acting rashly.

He listened to Dell's revised explanation, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Just build it according to this drawing! ”
