Chapter 81: The truth is announced, and the layout begins
For the taste of 'pure water' vodka, the four of them still look nostalgic.
It's a pity that this kind of wine must be precious and scarce in their cognition, and they drank a lot last night, so they felt that it was a little inappropriate to speak again, so they tacitly did not mention it at the luncheon.
But it's also a luncheon that gives them a good taste of the 'otherworldly' cuisine.
I was so drunk last night that the taste of the dishes in my mouth was vague, which made them feel sorry for themselves.
After a cheerful end to the luncheon, Goodern suggested to Reynas the idea of a conversation.
"Lord Renus, before I leave, I have something I want to talk to you about."
It wasn't clear what Gooden wanted to talk about, and Renus didn't refuse to agree.
"No problem."
"Your Excellency Kroger should also come to my study, you are half a witness to this matter."
Seeing that Goodern was even calling Kroger along with him, Renus subconsciously thought that Goodern wanted to talk to him about taxes.
After all, he also learned about this from his old classmate Kroger, so he began to think about the ins and outs of this matter and the solution in his heart.
After all, it is normal to drink a lot of precious 'pure water', and it is normal to do a favor.
Castle, inside the study.
Erin expertly served tea and some dessert before leaving the place.
As the wooden door closed, Goodern opened the topic directly, without making a twist and turn.
"Lord Renus, before discussing the matter, I took the liberty to ask three questions, first, do you know the tax problem in my Qingyuan Town?"
Glancing at Kroger, Renus nodded slightly.
"Well, I heard Kroger say that."
"I won't say too much about that...... Do you know how to get my barony? ”
Listening to Goodern suddenly jump the topic to the position of baron, Reynas, who had been brewing for a long time, was stunned.
Not knowing what Goodern was trying to say, Rainus took back what he wanted to say, recalled Goodern's title file, and responded according to the above rhetoric.
"Personally kill a large number of orc scout troops, help the troops complete important tasks, and issue knighthoods if they meet the military merit standards."
Gooden saw that the other party was very clear about these questions, so he stopped asking and pointed out directly.
"That's right, in this case, the last question, you should also know, is where the orcs are killed."
"A hundred-level orc scout appeared in the territory of Qingyuan Snow Ridge, and I happened to encounter Captain Dedalo who was ambushed and helped rescue him."
"But just seven or eight days before the long battle, I had already been attacked by orc scouts, and their number was about forty to sixty."
Hearing this, Renas and Kroger looked at each other in surprise, and then Renas said in a slightly flat tone.
"Young Master Gooden, do you mean that you want to add a military exploit to the file?"
"Not really," Goodern continued, shaking his head slightly.
"When I rescued Captain Dedalo before, he had something that made me wonder, how did a huge orc army, eating and drinking in the empire, not be noticed by the residents living in the surrounding area?"
"You must know that the location of the battle at that time was only thirty kilometers away from Qingyuan Town in a straight line, which can be regarded as entering the core hinterland."
"If the orc troops at that time attacked Qingyuan Town, the consequences would ......"
The more he spoke, the more serious Gudern's tone became.
The two of them, who had no specific experience, felt a chill down their backs when Gooden's words were spoken.
If you think about it carefully, if the orcs did not besiege Dedalo at that time, but attacked Qingyuan Town, I am afraid that the current Qingyuan Town would already be a dead town......
"But fortunately, this situation did not happen, and the Berner City Lord organized troops to patrol the border, which can be regarded as a temporary stable environment."
"But it wasn't until I accidentally discovered this letter some time ago that the danger of Qingyuan Town, which originally existed only in Qingyuan Town, expanded to the entire imperial border."
With that, Goodern took out the last letter of Lord Secht and gave it to Reynas to read.
Reynas, who frowned slightly, still didn't know what Goodern was going to say, took the letter and glanced at it hurriedly.
And the content above is to make his forehead wrinkle again, and he looks at it word by word again, for fear of missing any information.
After checking three or five times in a row, Renus suddenly looked up sharply and asked Goodern in a deep voice.
"What about the evidence left by Lord Secht?"
"Here." Gooden's face did not change, and he took the copy of the copy from the drawer under the desk and handed it to the other party.
Taking the copy, Renus quickly flipped through it, looking at the bill for chapter by chapter, and the expression on his face became a little gloomy.
After a while, Rainus handed the ledger to Kroger.
"You've been in charge of the military investigation, come and see."
I don't know how bad the old classmate's expression will become after reading the note, but from this ledger, Kroger also keenly found a clue.
"If the materials in this ledger are converted into military supplies, except for the horse equipment, which may only be enough for half of the cavalry corps, the remaining materials are enough to arm three legions."
"And according to the amount of food in reserve, it is enough for these people to supply for about half a year."
"But...... There's something wrong with the price accounts on this, they were all five or six years ago. ”
As a prosecutor in the army, in order to prevent officers from reselling materials, Kroger still has a hand in these prices and the inventory of various warehouses.
When it comes to price fluctuations of all kinds of items, Kroger's memory is no worse than that of some reselling merchants.
Hearing Kroger's analysis, Renus's face became even more embarrassed.
After a long silence, he exhaled and said to Gooden.
"Young Master Gooden, your news is very important, I will personally relay this matter to the Governor, I have to take this letter and account book with me, is it no problem?"
"No problem, I'm still a little worried about these things in my place."
"Well, when the Doge verifies the facts, the Charleson family's actions will definitely be punished by the Empire, and you will be rewarded with a large sum, maybe it won't be a problem to jump to the viscount."
Listening to Reynas's assurances, Goodern didn't particularly care about it.
At the moment, he was paying attention to Renas's favorability on the panel.
From 68 when the news was not announced at the beginning, it has risen all the way to 79, and this alone shows that what Renas said can be trusted.
At least he was angry at what the Charleson family was doing, and the chances of him wanting to have hidden evidence were very low.
After a moment's silence, Goodern decided to add another fire.
Regg's betrayal, his assassination, and Charlison's actions against him are then recounted.
"Damn Charleson ......"
After hearing what happened to Goodern, Kroger on the side couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
He was born to be fair, and he hated Charlison's practice to the extreme.
"Young Master Goodern, if allowed, please let me take the guard who betrayed you with me, having a witness will be more useful than a suicide note and a ledger to prove it."
"No problem, this guy has been imprisoned in the dungeon, and I've been thinking about what to do with him, it seems that now the empire will give him a righteous relief."
Now for Renas's request, Goodern is responsive.
After continuing to pay attention to the fixation of the Reynas panel, I saw that I jumped from 79 to 80, so I wondered if I should add another handful of oil?
Once the recording content is released, it will inevitably reveal his identity as a mage, so is it worth it to put all the bets on Feroz?
The meaning of the words that can be fed back from Reinas's mouth just now shows that relying on these circumstantial evidences alone may not necessarily lead to direct punishment for Charleson.
Thinking of this, Gooden was no longer entangled and decided to stud all the evidence.
"Lord Reynas, I will come up with a more important piece of evidence next, I will not give this evidence to you, if the high-level of the empire wants to verify it, you have to send someone or come to Qingyuan Town in person to verify it."
Hearing Gooden say so seriously, there was a trace of solemnity in the eyes of the two.
The previous evidence could casually put the Charlison family in trouble, and even the danger of being destroyed, and these Gooden were handed over to Renas casually.
And now this Gudern has chosen to keep it, and has also proposed that the high-level personnel need to send someone or come to verify it again.
Gudeen didn't wait for Renas to speak, and directly used a magic hand to activate the bookcase mechanism, open the dark grid, and briefly explain to the two of them.
"Since I was attacked last time, I inadvertently broke through and awakened to become a mage, and at yesterday's dinner, I also purposefully asked Lord Renus about your use of the gramophone recorder."
"I also have a gramophone in my hand, which is also an item left by the previous lord, if the content is ...... Hear for yourselves. ”
As he spoke, Gooden had already taken out the tape recorder and recharged it for playback.
In just four sentences, even the needle drop in the study can be heard clearly.
Suddenly, Reynas staggered to his feet.
"Young Master Gooden, you should be afraid that this copy will be lost after the evidence is handed in, right? You wait for me, I still have two unburned phonographs in my hand, wait for you to play them again, and I'll bring a copy of the same. ”
Ah......h It turns out that there is a spare?
Goodern scratched his head a little embarrassed, he had thought that this thing was more precious, and it would be nice to have one on his knighthood oath.
But now it seems that this thing is a must-have item for civil servants to go out?
Reynas, who had rushed out of the door, quickly returned to his study, with two more gramophone recorders in his hand.
Gooden was not stingy with the appearance of a copy, and directly activated the magic to record the content for the copy.
"With this evidence, I can guarantee that within a month, the Charleson family will disappear from the Snow Valley Ridge."
Such important and solid news was handed over to the Governor's Palace, and the Charleson family asked to face the wrath of the empire in the future.
With the assurance of the person, Goodern's face also softened a little.
After the two of them continued to learn some details, Renus prepared to return immediately.
For the safety of Renus, Gooden asked Feroz to return to Jinyuan City with the caravan, making a guarantee on the way.
After all, just in case, he set up a kill plan on the way back.
However, now that Renas does not have any major problems, he will no longer find an excuse to stay in Ferroz.
When he came, there were hundreds of people, but when he returned to Jinyuan City, there were only two loaded carriages and horses and dozens of people left, and it looked really miserable.
But for Feroz, just these seemingly inconspicuous two truckloads of supplies are packed with thousands of gold coins.
At the same time, what surprised him the most was that before Gu Deen entered, he took out ten bottles of pure water, one bottle was given to him, one bottle was given to the Jinyuan City Lord, and the rest were all sold at the auction house.
On the Rainas side, Goodern also gave him three bottles.
Taking other people's short hands and eating other people's soft mouths, this time he also took three bottles of pure water, Renas solemnly said that he would definitely wash away his shame and solve the Charleson family.
As the team moved away, Goodern returned to the castle and began to work on the follow-up arrangements for the deal.
There is nothing to manage in the distribution of materials, all iron ore is given to research institutes, grain storage, and livestock are kept in captivity.
The focus of this transaction is the distribution of population arrangements, and after yesterday afternoon's registration records, Gooden has already learned a little.
346 people, a total of 80 families, 100 children and teenagers, of whom 63 were men and 37 were women.
In addition, the remaining eighty-six people, fifty men and thirty-six women, were single.
The age of these adult workers is between 20 and 40 years old, which is the main group that Goodern needs to recruit.
According to Gooden's plan, 30 people will be selected to join the army to participate in recruit training, 50 people will join the construction team, another 30 people will be selected to join the research institute to do miscellaneous studies as apprentices, and the remaining adult workers will join the mine and become miners.
In the case of minors, all of them are transferred to schools, while women who have not yet been assigned to work participate in pre-study and half-day literacy classes in factories.
With nearly 100 people joining, the development rate of the town will quickly double.
At the same time, new residents joined, and social management tasks such as territory management and identity certificates were also put on the date.
In order to have an effective management verification, Gooden decided to put the ID card system in place.
At present, the number of urban residents in the entire Qingyuan Town has reached 1,425, and the number will increase in the future.
Fortunately, in this aspect of knowledge, he does not need to rack his brains to design arrangements, and can directly copy the design ideas of modern ID cards.
Area code, date of birth, random four-digit check code, including odd and even numbers to distinguish between men and women.
At the same time, in order to make it easier to remember, Goodern, the six-digit area code, was reduced to three digits, from the original eighteen digits to fifteen digits.
At the same time, Gooden also used magic and manganese steel to make ten templates, which were used to make samples of the security logo.
But the work here has only just begun, and Joseph Sr. has come here to inform him.
"Young Master, Irene's knight training is about to begin, do you want to go and observe?"
