Chapter 704: The Pit Man's Auction

In the end, Prime Minister Makarin got up and left, although he didn't say anything, but the few bigwigs present were old fritters who had been rolling in the officialdom for decades, and they didn't need to say anything, and they understood as much as Spiegel in their hearts.

Prime Minister Makarin originally wanted to put a little pressure on the Janissaries in this matter, and he came directly to Admiral Hawkes, which was the purpose.

Unexpectedly, the chief blocked him in one bite and used the prestige of the Praetorian Guard to suppress him.

No matter how good the prime minister is, he can't always say in front of the chief and the commander of the Praetorian Guard, "The prestige of your Praetorian Guard is a fart~"

After all, the Semitic people established the country by force, and those soldiers and ruffians were originally temperamental. After being suppressed by the civilian clique over the years, the temper is even worse.

If he really said this, the soldiers and ruffians would have had a seizure, and they might have been beaten. Moreover, even if the lawsuit reaches the Dark Council, he has nowhere to reason, and he may take advantage of this to be ousted.

Therefore, he had no choice but to swallow it back.

Although the three old men said goodbye politely, everyone knew clearly in their hearts that the gap between the civilian system and the military general group was getting bigger and bigger, and the two sides only didn't tear their faces in person.

But these soldiers are not worried at all, because the contradictions and grievances between the two sides have not been a day or two for a long time.

As long as it wasn't during the Great War of the Nations, it was too normal for civilian officials to suppress military forces. They are also afraid that the soldiers and ruffians will have nothing to do when they are full, so they will play a management buyout with the guys, and the emperor will take turns to do it, and he will come to my house this year. (At the end of the Roman era, the Praetorian Guard did not fail to put the emperor's position up for auction.) ）

The civil and military disputes have not been ten or twenty years, but a hundred years and two hundred years.

In the history of the Semitic people, this struggle has not stopped. In fact, the civil and military disputes have never been interrupted in the history of that country.

Originally, the Praetorian Guards were trapped in the hands of those civilian officials, and all kinds of unspoken methods tossed these stupid soldiers so badly that they would never be fed, and the Praetorian Guards could only get a little leftovers.

Not to mention anything else, it has been two or three hundred years since the barracks of the Praetorian Guard were built, not to mention the new construction, and even the funds for ordinary maintenance are tight, and even the headquarters of the Admiral is not in the eyes of Lorraine.

Even if the prime minister is suspicious, so what? Do they dare not give a penny?

Grandma's, at that time, everyone just opened their faces and had a good time. Let's see who can't fucking stand it in the end~

On the other hand, what if he is satisfied? He will immediately give the Praetorian Guard a large amount of money? That is simply impossible.

And now, with the help of Lorraine, they have found a way to make a fortune and make a good profit, this is the right way, maybe in the future, everyone can rely on this, and they can get rid of the clamps of the civil officials.

Relying on the reputation of the Praetorian Guard, Lorraine slaughtered another guy who was not long-eyed, and it is foreseeable that this business will become bigger and bigger in the future, and it will be smooth sailing.

The chief stood at the doorway, smiling and leaving in the carriage. scolded in my heart: When I finally had your grandson deflated, it was really happy.

The commander-in-chief couldn't wait to look up to the sky and laugh twice, and he felt aggrieved every time he went to ask for military expenses.

At that moment, Hawkes reached out and pointedly to the back window of the Makarin carriage.

The chief couldn't help but squint his eyes, and keenly noticed that under the back eaves of the prime minister's carriage, there was a steel seal of a flying eagle, and the car was still brand new.

He couldn't help but sneer, he had never paid attention to this aspect before, and he had never paid attention to it, but he didn't expect that you, a grandson, would also use smuggled goods.

When he saw this, he beckoned his hand and called his carriage, and when he boarded the car, he shouted to Hawkes, "Do it well." Angry at those dead civil officials. If someone dares to come looking for trouble, let him come to me. ”

After saying that, he sat in the carriage, and the chief looked around and walked into the old carriage, and suddenly poked his head out of the window, and whispered to Hawkes: "My car is a little old, isn't it? Well, you know ......."

Hawkes smiled and said, "Yes, my lord, I understand. ”

The chief smiled, then patted his head and said, "The horse pulling the cart is also old, I heard...... You have two famous horses?"

Hawkes said categorically: "No way, don't even want your granddaughter to buy it for you." ”

The chief gave Hawkes a blank look and scolded stupidly, "Hawkes, you damn stingy ghost. ”

Then he patted the carriage, and with a flick of the reins, the coachman drove the carriage away from the Admiral's headquarters.

Hawkes returns to the office and calls back Lorraine and Thors.

He stared at Lorraine fiercely, looked at it for a long time, and finally slapped the table, and shouted angrily: "Give me a good job." Angry at those dead civil officials. Something happened, I'll give you a top~"

With this Shang Fang sword in hand, Lorraine was overjoyed at the moment.

With the Admiral and the Commander behind him, Lorraine swayed back to the camp in style.

This is not just to show off, but more importantly, to make a gesture, to let the other ill-intentioned dogs know that although Captain Lei Luo was called by the Admiral, he returned safely, and he came back majestically and highly.

The mere implication is enough to silence the disgruntled.

At this time, the soldiers and ruffians who had followed him on a trip to the goods also returned to the camp.

One by one, they were nervous, crouching in the corner of the wall, waiting for the final result.

If Lorraine was punished, then even if they were innocent, the door to wealth that had just been opened was shut. In the future, I can only continue to live honestly and live a hopeless life.

Either way, they were deeply grateful to Lorraine. Because he gave himself a glimmer of hope for these ruffians. And take the lead and do everything yourself. This style of work makes those soldiers and ruffians admire from the bottom of their hearts, and this is the quality that an excellent officer should have.

Some of the puppies have already planned that if Lorraine is sent to the army, they will take a knife and kill one halfway, save Lorraine, and pull the boss to be a smuggler together.

That's not going to lie here, there's a future for the Praetorian Guard.

Anyway, his mother's days of gnawing on the nest are tired, so it's better to learn from those heroes, go up the mountain to be robbers, drink wine and eat meat, and live happily.

These soldiers and ruffians are all from families, they are used to seeing that kind of rich life, if they are allowed to live that kind of hard life again, it is better to have a vigorous mother~

Didn't the ancients say it?

A manly husband can't live for a hundred years, he has to leave a stench for 10,000 years.

No matter what, you have to leave your name in this world, so that you can come to this world in vain~

Just when they were thinking about all the possible and worst outcomes, they were secretly ruthless. At this time, I saw Uncle Lorraine walking back with his hands behind his back, as if he had just come back from a neighbor's house.

When the soldiers saw Lorraine's safe return, they immediately jumped up from the ground excitedly, pulled their throats like vicious dogs, and let out a penetrating cheer, shouting loudly and rushing to Lorraine to ask for warmth.

They knew that Lorraine had returned safely this time, which meant that the authorities had acquiesced in their smuggling. In the future, everyone will also make money every day, and the flowers will be poor, and the beautiful and happy days are also beckoning to everyone.

When the time comes, you can also wrap * milk and raise a junior. Live in a villa and take a famous car.

Some ruffians who want to be famous have even planned it, and when the time comes, they can also invite a few painters to paint a few ** for themselves, and then send them all over the world, and finally enter the showbiz and live the addiction of sleeping stars......

Lorraine couldn't help but be a little moved when he looked at everyone's excited appearance, and in the barracks, the other soldiers and officers also rushed over after receiving the news.

Immediately, the entire barracks burst into a burst of enthusiastic cheers, and the cheers resounded like a tide between heaven and earth, enveloping the entire barracks and never dispersing for a long time.

Tors did not expect that the soldiers would welcome Lorraine so warmly. When I heard that voice, I was immediately a little shocked, and the people's desire must not be violated.

Vaguely, he remembered the evaluation of the Admiral when Lorraine first arrived, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: Could it be that the young soldier ruffian is really a peerless hero?

Hawkes, who was at the Admiral's Palace, heard the cheers.

He listened attentively, and then understood what was going on, shook his head, his heart was full of bitterness, and secretly thought: I am high, although I often go down to explore the lives of the soldiers, but I did not expect that they have been so poor, alas...... What a dereliction of duty......

Lorraine saw the joy of everyone, and immediately climbed up to a stone statue next to him, and then announced loudly, "Brothers, our great plan for the benefit of the country and the people has been supported by the Prime Minister, the Commander-in-Chief, and the Admiral~"

When Tors and a few other sober-minded and sensible guys heard this, they immediately grinned and cursed in their hearts: This damn soldier ruffian is so capable of bullshitting. The prime minister and the general minister dared to criticize the tiger skin, and they really didn't want to have any face at all.

At this time, Lorraine also glanced at it, and found that Commander Thor was standing at the door of the hall, looking at this side intently, and then his eyes rolled, and he added loudly: "Several adults have all said that we want us to be under the leadership of the commander, not arrogant or impatient, continue to explore, and move forward bravely~"

The crowd burst into cheers again.

Thors listened to his words, but he couldn't help but secretly complain, although he also took a bribe in it, but Lorraine's words were completely tied to the thief ship.

He wanted to step forward to say a few words, but when he saw those simple soldiers turning their heads one by one, their eyes all shining with a little starlight, and looking at him with admiration, he couldn't help but stagnate, and finally he could only beckon, and laughed twice without smiling.

Lorraine clapped her hands again, drawing everyone's attention. He said, "Brothers, if anyone is not on duty, go back and give notice." ”

In order to show the importance of his voice, he deliberately raised a finger and said in a loud voice: "Attention, what I say is quite important.

Tonight, tonight.

In order to carry out the wise instructions and important speeches of the Prime Minister, the Commander-in-Chief, the Admiral, the Commander-in-Chief, etc., the first Sotheby's auction was successfully held in the camp of the Praetorian Guard~"

He paused deliberately, raised his hands in the air, and waited for the crowd to cheer and applaud. But after waiting for a while, I saw that everyone was looking at each other and hesitating.

Lorraine couldn't help but be a little surprised, and said curiously: "What's wrong with you?"

Someone dared to ask, "My lord, I ...... We people who don't know much about it, may I ask, what is this Sotheby's auction for?"

Luo Lin was stunned for a moment, and then scolded: "A bunch of uninformed hillbillies~ I don't even know about the Sotheby's auction." ”

Immediately, the crowd bowed their heads in shame.

Lorraine sighed, and then said, "This Sotheby's auction is an auction that lets those rich people come in and spend money to buy things." First, there is a quota limit, and second, in order to ensure that the auction is carried out smoothly, an entry deposit must be paid. A minimum of 100 gold coins. ”

When everyone heard this, they all gasped. Someone whispered below, "A hundred gold coins? That's a lot of money." ”

Lorraine said angrily: "Waste." Our auction is only for the rich, and if you don't have a hundred gold coins, can you call it a rich man?"

Everyone looked at Lorraine, and couldn't help but feel weak for a while, and only agreed to it.

Lorraine snorted coldly and continued: "Then when you invite people, you should also pay attention to a little bit, like those dignitaries who have enmity with each other......"

Someone shouted loudly, "Don't worry, my lord, like that kind of person, we will definitely pay attention to not letting them in, disturbing the order of the venue." “

Lorraine was furious at the moment and scolded loudly: "Bastard~ Whoever dares to do this, I will kill him." “

Everyone was stunned.

Lorraine said: "Grandma's, a bunch of fools. The more that kind of person, the more you have to be invited in. Let them look at each other unpleasantly, and then maliciously raise the price. At that time, a pig's head can be sold for the price of a diamond. “

When everyone heard this, they all gave a thumbs up and praised in unison: "My lord, you are still ruthless enough~"

Lorraine laughed and scolded a few times, then relieved, and asked again: "Did everyone understand?"

Everyone replied one after another: "My lord, don't you worry, isn't it just a big cheat?" Although we are not as skilled as you, we have practiced this trick since childhood. ”

After saying that, there was a burst of laughter.

Lorraine was stunned for a moment, and said: "By the way, anyone who brings guests must report their names to the etiquette at the door." Looking back, there are also a few rebates of gold coins. “

Everyone shouted at the moment: "My lord, don't worry, you are not here for a few days, Lei Xiao...... Uh, no. Chairman Lei Da has already taught us all this, and it is absolutely impossible to be wrong, just look at it. ”

Lorraine was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Leo to grow up so fast, she had been prepared in advance, and she didn't look like a playful child at all.

But then I remembered that Leo was not greedy for fun, but regarded this kind of money-cheating thing as the best game, and was most interested in the pit man.

Kong Lao 2's sentence 'Those who know are not as good as those who know, and those who know well are not as good as those who are happy to know', can be reflected in him to the greatest extent.

Lorraine thought about it again and made sure that there was nothing missing, then she clapped her hands and said, "Okay, that's it, let's disperse." Hurry back and prepare. Time waits for no one. If it's late, you'll lose a day's worth of money. ”

Everyone agreed, stamped their feet in unison, and then raised their hands and saluted, and then they whispered and scattered in all directions.

Lorraine let out a long breath as she saw the crowd disperse, feeling the fatigue of the long journey rush over her. But then I thought about it for a while, but I was still relieved, and I insisted on coming to the camp of my squadron.

I saw that the camp had been renovated, and the playground had been re-mated, and it had been pressed many times with stones, and it was solid and level.

Not only are the playgrounds surrounded by colorful flags, but they are also planted with green trees, and it is not known where they were moved, and there is no consideration for whether the trees will survive during the season. I have done enough face engineering.

The playground was surrounded by a curtain, and workers could be seen setting up a platform inside.

From time to time, people moved tables, chairs and benches in and out, apparently setting up the venue. It's almost done.

Lorraine couldn't help but sigh, she didn't expect her hands and feet to be quite fast.

He walked to the window of Leo's office, and saw that the window was wide open, and Leo was sitting inside, and without saying much, he leaned over and jumped in through the window.

Leo was overjoyed.

He shouted, jumped up, ran over in a few steps, and said, "Boss, you are back." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pulled Lorraine to the sofa next to him, and then spread out the table full of account books next to him, and said proudly: "Look, I'm doing a good job, right? ”

Lorraine looked at his arrogant little tail that was about to be cocked, and couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, where did he have to correct himself, and he obviously had to praise him by himself. It's just that I didn't say it explicitly: If you have any compliments, just let the horse come over, I can resist it~

Therefore, Lorraine also laughed and praised him very much, after all, during the period of time he left, he planned and implemented these tasks in the middle.

Lorraine praised that the Yellow River had always been overflowing, and it was uncontrollable. belongs to the extremely heavy character, and it is not easy to deal with a little fat man. Leo was praised at the moment, and his big eyes narrowed into a slit. It's almost impossible to find the north of the music.

After Lorraine finished boasting, she looked at it and asked, "By the way, what about Vera?"

Leo raised his hand and pointed to the room next to him, and said, "Working over there~ She is also a busy person now, holding both the positions of accountant and cashier, and she is also the financial director, so she is very busy." ”

Lorraine couldn't help but be stunned, and sighed in his heart: this little rascal is really courageous, and he actually let a dragon control all the gold coins.

But when I think about it, I feel that it is right. Vera usually looks silly, but as long as it involves gold coins, she suddenly becomes much smarter, and she is extremely vigilant, and no one has ever cheated a gold coin from her. Not even yourself.

Leo reached out and picked up the water glass on the table, glanced at it, and then shouted, "Secretary Fei, bring me a cup of tea." ”

Lorraine couldn't help but be stunned, glanced at the office, and saw the sofa in front of him, as well as the large and luxurious desk, the grand and soft swivel chair, and the huge portrait hanging on the wall.

This was already enough, but I didn't expect him to have a secretary. Thinking of this, he lost his voice and said, "You still have a secretary now?"

Leo gave him a blank look and said, "What's wrong with me having a secretary?

As the words fell, I saw a beautiful girl with a slender figure walking in.

None other than Fiona.

She looked at Lorraine, exclaimed, and then pounced like a whirlwind, and plunged headlong into Lorraine's arms.

Leo saw it, and couldn't help but shout dissatisfiedly next to him: "Hey, you're my secretary now, why don't you have any professionalism at all?"

But then I saw Fiona turn her head viciously, her jade face was frosty, and she said in a coquettish voice: "Shut up~"

Leo shuddered at once, then laughed dryly, and obediently walked out the door at Fiona's gaze, and finally closed the door from the outside.

Although he was young, he grew up under Catherine's hand and knew very well how terrible an endocrine girl was.

After he closed the door, he thought about it, but he still felt unwilling, and waved his fist demonstratively towards the room.

At night, when the lights were on, the entrance to the camp of the 1st Division of the Royal Janissary Army was already bustling with people.

Countless richly dressed red men and green women came to the gate of the forbidden army camp in carriages.

Before they could reach the door, they were greeted by soldiers. Then he said a few words of courtesy, and finally got out of the car with a small bag containing gold coins, and registered his name at the ceremonial office at the door. I received a number plate.

Moreover, when the soldiers handed over the number plates, they also made a few special instructions to tell the visitors. In order to conceal it, everyone has to put away the signs, and when the time comes, when the auction is held, all the cards will be raised. Don't go out of your way to call out your name.

When those people galloped into the auction hall in a horse-drawn carriage, they would see that the auction items were already in a pile on the playground next to them, and everyone could watch and enjoy them to their heart's content. In order to choose your favorite items. When it comes to the auction, you can also know what to expect.

As the carriages galloped in, the barracks were already crowded with dignitaries who had come to participate in the auction.

Immediately, a loud gong sounded, and the entire auction hall was suddenly silent.

Immediately afterwards, a neutral voice sounded: The auction starts now~
