Just when Mo Yan was still in hell, using his wisdom to fight for his position. Emily, who has temporarily replaced Mo Yan, has also begun to deal with various issues like a person in power. Emily has a deep knowledge and understanding of the problems that often arise from Thunder Cliff, Mo Yan arranged for her to copy documents at the beginning, and later after Thunder Cliff's organization expanded. Although she doesn't copy by hand, she checks a lot of documents in her office.

Almost most of the important documents that Mo Yan handled, Emily had seen with her own eyes, and when she reviewed them, she also thought about how she would deal with them if it was her. After Mo Yan decided how to deal with it, Emily would also compare her thoughts to Mo Yan's, and learn some experience and Mo Yan's handling habits. For other aspects of Mo Yan, Emily may still need to deepen her understanding, but for Mo Yan's habits of handling government affairs, Emily can say that Thunder Cliff has no better understanding than her.

For Mo Yan's decision-making in government affairs, Emily never thought that anyone could surpass him, although sometimes he also likes to mess around and set up some strange festivals to give workers a holiday, but in the general direction he does a good job. On the first day of Mo Yan's departure, Emily sat on the large chair in Mo Yan's office, using the quill pen she had brought with her to wait for the documents to arrive.

Emily was still a little excited to be given such a heavy responsibility, she never thought that she would one day manage such a large area, and Elland now has nearly a third of the land, and has joined this growing and prosperous federation. And any decision she makes can have a huge impact, for better or for worse.

Claude, who was Mo Yan's close attendant outside the door, did not leave his post because of Mo Yan's departure. At the same time, he also had a companion next to him, Mo Yan, who had left, did not give Aruba anything to do, and he himself did not hold any position in the Thunder Cliff, so he came to the door of the office and started the work of guarding his own sister. Although Aruba had studied with Claude in private and knew that his skills were very high, there were some things that he had to do himself.

After the loss of two succubius in the secretarial department, the speed of processing documents has slowed down significantly, although more people have taken their place. But the first day of delivery of documents to the office was still a few minutes slower than usual. Emily couldn't do anything better about it, she couldn't have gotten more people to help. Because that would make the whole secretariat even more confusing, there are similar words in the Sartic language.

Now all the industries of Thunder Cliff are expanding and developing, the number of workers in the factory is always insufficient, and there is no need to fight against the monsters in the past three years, the population of the Salts has increased greatly, but those are still mostly children, and there is no use now. Joining the monsters in various industries as a new labor force will also produce all kinds of problems, and the current big wave of exclusion has subsided because of Mo Yan's suppression, but small frictions are happening every day.

The monsters followed Mo Yan's orders, and most of the time they would tolerate some minor insults, but occasionally a few vicious thugs would attack them. The forbearance of the monsters has given others a false impression that these guys who used to eat human flesh have weakened.

Emily's decision on this issue is very iron-blooded, because the troublemakers are often some Salte youths, and she can't have the slightest weakness as a Salt, otherwise she will be said to be partial. As a result, in the square where the execution was carried out in Thunder Cliff, the screams of the captured young men could often be heard, and anyone who made trouble was immediately flogged.

On the third day, according to Mo Yan's usual encouraging attitude towards business, Emily lowered the already small business tax to encourage more people to join the business. Because Thunder Cliff did not rely on taxes in the first place, most of the most profitable industries in the entire federation were Mo Yan, and encouraging commerce would allow his factories to sell more products.

"Clean up, there's a guest coming. Just as Emily was thinking about what to do, Aruba knocked on the door and said, "They should be from Marlowe's side." Hearing Aruba's words, Emily quickly put away the papers on the table, tidied up her somewhat messy clothes, and sat up straight waiting for the arrival of the so-called guest.

When Emily had done all this, there was a knock on the door of the office, and after receiving Emily's promise, the group pushed the door open and walked in. The leader was Regel, the leader of the SS, and behind him was a richly dressed middle-aged man with a goatee, who was supposed to be what Aruba called a "guest."

"Gui'an, beautiful lady. "There was no formal etiquette, a goatee was just a noble etiquette. This is really not a very polite act for a person in power to meet a country, even if he is not facing Mo Yan, but also the spokesman of the plenipotentiary Mo Yan.

"Please leave. Emily frowned at the nobleman with a flirtatious smile on his face, and ordered the guests off without giving them any chance to speak. Aruba and the others, who were waiting on the side after hearing Emily's words, walked up to Goatee and asked him to leave, and it was only then that Goatee became serious.

"I'm sorry for the rudeness. The goatee fell on one knee and said with the courtesy of an audience with the king of another country: "I am Dirac, the envoy of Julius Caesar of the great Maro Empire, and I have come to negotiate an armistice with the rulers of the New Elamite Federation, and to bring gifts for the late inauguration of the president. ”

Several members of the entourage behind the goatee opened the gift box they were holding, revealing the brilliant gems and jewelry inside. In the long box, a gorgeous decorative sword flashed with several rare powerful enchantments, a minotaur statue made of mythril and jewels, which was as delicate as a work of art, and the furious face was vividly expressed, and a black dragon statue polished by a black magic stone surrendered to its feet, these gifts were sincere enough.

"Thank you very much for the gift. Seeing that Dirac had corrected his attitude, Emily asked Aruba to step aside and look at Dirac and said, "But we need to talk about the truce, we are currently employed by the Carthaginian side, not only have we received their commission in the last month, but we have also received the bonus for the defeat of the Maro army and the capture of the city in the previous few days, and Thunder Bluff will not do anything to turn its back on the employer." ”

"According to the words of the Carthaginians, everything has a price. Dirac stood up and said, "If they knew what we were offering, I am sure the merchants would have understood your decision." Julius Caesar, the mighty and generous, is willing to hand over three Carthaginian cities to you, and there are 100,000 gold olives to pay. Of course, at the moment we can only pay half, and after we occupy Carthage, we have to pay the other half. ”

"Even so, please forgive us for refusing. Emily didn't even listen carefully to the so-called conditions, and directly said the answer she had already thought of, and there would be no concessions in this regard. The Lightning Legion had just broken Maro's defenses, and had not yet been able to show its ability to attack, but the Maro people were already unable to sit still.

Emily knew how to choose allies, as their neighbor Carthage had never attacked Elam, and these merchants had fought a war with the Maroes hundreds of years ago. Compared to the Maro, who have twice succeeded in Elamite in history, the Carthaginians are clearly more likely to get along with.

And at the moment, the cooperation of the Maro people is quite unreliable, although the conditions they offer are extremely rich, but in fact they do not pay anything. The three cities are still under the control of the Carthaginians, and the so-called 100,000 gold coins were also stripped from the Carthaginians, and if the Maro people repented after the battle, it would be equivalent to Thunder Bluff only getting 50,000 gold coins and selling their employers.

What's more, if the Carthaginians were really defeated, then there was a risk that Elam would be caught in a battle with Maro. With the wealth of Carthage, Maro would become the most powerful nation in history, and even if Thunder Cliff could withstand Marlo's attack, it would have to pay a lot of price.

"Julius Caesar was a monarch who kept his promises. Dirac, who could see Emily's concerns at a glance, continued: "He has never broken any of the vows he has made, and even now he has not taken a wife and had children because of the promises made in his youth, and the concerns of your country do not exist. ”

"The monarch of your country keeps his promise, and we should learn from it. Emily shook her head and said, "I believe that Caesar will not trust a person who has broken his oath, since we have made a pact with Carthage, then we must carry it out to the end." Legel, take them to a hotel in the city to rest, and we will pay for all the expenses they incur here. ”

Goatee bowed to Emily and withdrew, but apparently he didn't have any intention of giving up. Emily may have to deal with the goatee-bearded Dirac during the rainy season, the truce of the rainy season allowed Carthage to withstand Maro's attack last year, and it was also the rainy season that thwarted Carthage's counterattack, and sometimes things are always subtle.
