Chapter 947: People Are Stupid and Have a Lot of Money (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Lorraine sat down, and observed it with some care.
Although the Grand Duke did not explain, since he was also asked to attend the meeting, the lord naturally had to cheer up the spirit of 120,000 points.
Although the lord is not the rookie of the year now, if there is a mistake, this ugliness will be thrown to the old man's house.
And when the time comes, Catherine, who will also be affected, can't raise her head, according to Catherine's temper, her life is not good, and the lord's life will definitely not be better.
I saw that the political officer sitting first on the left hand of the Grand Duke was a handsome old man at the level of Sean Connery, full of silver hair and strong spirits.
He picked up a neat stack of neatly ordered texts and said solemnly: "Your Highness, first of all, the plan for the management of the swamps in the Cialis area. Chapter 947 of the City Lord of Cialis is stupid and has a lot of money (asking for a monthly pass) has been reported. ”
As he spoke, he handed over the text.
The Grand Duke didn't look at Wen Jiàn, but put one hand on the armrest, supported his cheeks, and let out a casual "um".
"The city lord of Cialis requested an appropriation of 120,000 gold coins, which is expected to increase the arable land by 100,000 mu. The magistrate glanced at the Grand Duke and added.
"Oh," the Grand Duke replied dryly, "what is your opinion?"
The administrative officer put down the text in his hand and said cautiously: "I think it is feasible." We allocated half of it, the Governor allocated a quarter, and Cialis raised another quarter of it itself, and there was no problem with the funding. ”
The Grand Duke waved his hand and said, "Then approve it~!"
As he spoke, he casually opened the text and signed his name on the last page, and then pushed it back.
The administrative officer got the text, then picked up the pen and made a mark on the paper, and then put it aside.
Then he picked up another one and said, "The trade tax at the Hessean Pass has been paid, totaling 1,140,000 ......."
Lorraine found that the officials were very succinct in their account of each event, and after the main points were clearly explained, their own opinions were added at the end.
Some Grand Dukes casually agreed or vetoed Chapter 947 about people being stupid and having a lot of money (asking for a monthly ticket). Some of them were unclear, and the Grand Duke casually asked, "Do you have any other opinions?"
If no one spoke, the Grand Duke waved his hand and said, "Do as you say." ”
After more than 20 government affairs officers finished their work, it took less than half an hour for the Grand Duke to make a decision, which was a highly efficient mess.
In contrast, Lorraine herself in Nai'an, often has to discuss with her subordinates for a long time to understand the cause and effect and possible situations before making a decision.
Of course, this is also due to Lorraine's lack of experience in governance.
And a veteran of government affairs like Catherine doesn't need so much time at all, and many things are under the mouth, and she understands it, and then with a big stroke of the pen, the head that should be killed, and the army that should be filled. The increase in the cost of the increase is extremely efficient.
However, Catherine can't do it with such an efficiency as the Grand Duke.
When dealing with government affairs, he almost completely let go of his subordinates, and even a little rough when doing things.
Lord Luo even thought about whether he would also stuff a few documents indiscriminately when he turned around, and tricked the Grand Duke into signing it, so as to make a good subsidy for the family.
Just as he was thinking about it, he immediately heard the Grand Duke cough lightly, and then turned his head to look at the generals sitting on the other side of the long table: "What is the situation in terms of military intelligence recently?"
Lorraine realized that those government affairs had been handled by the Grand Duke. And the Grand Duke's expression also swept away the impatience just now, but his eyes lit up with seriousness.
The general at the head coughed and said, "Returning to Your Highness, in recent times, there has been an increase in cross-border theft by the Parthians. ”
Grand Duke Julius frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "What's the matter? Didn't I order to strengthen the guard?"
The general spread his hands and said helplessly: "These thieves seem to be more than one group." They operate at night, picking out places where we have few garrisons, stealing as much as they can, and fleeing quickly when discovered. ”
"Damn" the Grand Duke scolded in a low voice, "It's this set again, I've been playing for decades, aren't they annoying?
"Of course, the cubs have to teach those bastards a hard lesson. We have caught thirty thieves and cut off their heads and hung them on the border. The general's eyebrows fluttered.
The Grand Duke smiled slightly, and the leader said, "Good job." ”
"But," said the general, "the problem is that the Parthians on the other side pointed at us and killed their border guards, and we had a little confrontation with them. And we verified that the thieves were indeed border guards. ”
"Cut, it's an old trick," said Archduke Julian with a look of disdain, "warn the Parthian general on the other side, just say what I said, if he can't manage his own men, we will take care of it for him." ”
"Yes, Your Highness. The general bent down and said respectfully.
Lorraine sneered, apparently the Parthian soldiers on the opposite side came here to rob, and the people here caught and killed a few, and then the conflict escalated, and the two armies fought a small fight.
In another time and space, this can be regarded as a strict diplomatic issue, enough for the protest department to protest vigorously for ten days and eight days, and when it comes to the Grand Duke Julius, it will pass with a light sound, and it seems that he is not afraid of making the conflict bigger.
Then these generals reported the recent battle situation one by one, and Lorraine saw that these guys were also human spirits, and they reported the good news before the Archduke Julian, in short, they achieved all kinds of victories.
Of course, in the midst of these victories, there are inevitably some problems, such as border crossings, diplomatic disputes, overspending, and so on.
The generals all said that these minor problems were worthless compared to the victories achieved.
The Grand Duke listened very happily and said that these problems are nothing compared to the achievements, and everyone will continue to work hard.
The generals expressed their jubilation.
But Lorraine is very ...... Seeing that the political officials opposite them were either gloomy faces, or pouted with disdain, or simply glared angrily, obviously very dissatisfied with this group of generals.
And that's a matter of course.
Those dead soldiers and ruffians went to the front line to fight wars and make military merits, promotions and fortunes. But I can only wipe their butts in the back.
Not to mention anything else, just to fight a war, this huge military expenditure is enough for the big guys to work hard for half a year.
And the tired ones on their side vomited blood, but they were "cubs selling Ye Tian, yes, they were cleaned up all of a sudden, and no one felt good on whoever put it on them."
When Lorraine saw this, he couldn't help muttering in his heart: No wonder the Grand Duke wants to push all the official affairs to Catherine, and the money in his hands is always not enough, this old guy is too heavy on martial arts and light on literature.
After everyone finished reporting, there was a moment of silence in the room.
Originally, at this time, the Grand Duke should have announced the adjournment of the meeting. Then everyone went back to their own homes and looked for their mothers. But today......
Immediately, everyone saw the thoughtful look on the Grand Duke's face, and they didn't dare to disturb, so they couldn't help but look at each other.
Then they all looked at Lorraine curiously.
The big guys all know that this little white face looks like a little white face, and he is the quasi-son-in-law of the Grand Duke. And sitting here at this time, is it possible that this guy is going to be a son-in-law?
But it can't be.
The Grand Duke himself has a son, and it is said that this little white face is very powerful in shaving the ground, and it is known as "three feet high."
Not to mention anything else, just the big diamond ring in his hand that is bright and dazzling, and his eyes ache, is almost worth hundreds of thousands. How could such a person be a son-in-law......
The crowd looked at Lorraine and couldn't stop thinking.
Lorraine saw everyone's eyes and immediately understood what these puppies were thinking. I couldn't help but be furious and glared back viciously.
But those people are all old fritters, and as soon as their eyes make contact with the lord, they immediately accompany the smiling face, nodding their heads, and smiling with a smiling face.
There is nothing the Lord can do about it.
The atmosphere in the room was a bit odd.
After a long while, the Grand Duke suddenly asked, "Where is the Tenth Legion?"
The general in the first place on the right hand said without thinking: "The Tenth Army is currently repairing in Tubourg, and the Eighteenth Army is also there.
The 10th Eastern Legion was a reinforced legion, and the elite of the Grand Duke's command was seconded to Lorraine when Lorraine pacified the southern savannah.
Grand Duke Julius glanced at Lorraine and said with a slight smile: "That Lorraine said that the place to the south of him is too big, and he has not been very peaceful recently. The 10th Army Corps and the 20th Army Corps were transferred to Port Setu and prepared to support Nai An by sea. ”
"My family is obviously very peaceful. Lorraine muttered dissatisfiedly, but he also knew that this was an excuse for the Grand Duke to mobilize his men's forces, ready to go to Haddou for trouble.
Therefore, Lorraine could only smile and swallow the bitter fruit.
He sighed very much in his heart: It is estimated that this year's performance evaluation of the governors of various places will be at the bottom again~!
The generals around the Grand Duke glanced at each other at this time, and they all looked happy.
The general at the head smiled and turned into a huā'er.
He asked very enthusiastically, "Are two legions enough?" The matter of the lord's family, is that still not our own business?
Everybody is looking forward to a good deal from the lord, uh, no. Everyone is looking forward to working well for the lord and working hard~!hahaha......
Lorraine was so angry that she grinded her teeth secretly, "You like to work with me?" she said, pouting her tongue. Don't you just think I'm a big family and want to make money?
In the original war of attacking the grassland, for the sake of those reinforcements, Lorraine himself did not spend less money to reinforce Lorraine's three legions, and he made a lot of money up and down.
Lorraine knew that when these puppies mentioned themselves now, they gave them a thumbs up and praised them in unison, "Kaizi, Da Kaizi, people are stupid and have a lot of money, and they deserve to be the super Kaizi that the eldest lady fancies." ”
As a result, these guys now see the benefits, and they all want to pull some points out of their hands, what's the matter?
Seeing the crying and laughing expressions on Lorraine's face, Grand Duke Julian was also a little embarrassed, he was used to slaughtering big households, and his younger brothers were also used to it, and the first thing he thought of when he saw Lorraine was to draw some funds, which made him a boss very faceless.
Grand Duke Julius hurriedly said: "This, let's talk about it when I come back, I can't lose them." Haha, hahaha..............."
"All right, everybody. Grand Duke Julius waved his hand and raised his voice: "I will also be away for a while, and during this time, the affairs of the eastern provinces will be entrusted to you.
When I get back, I'll give you a raise. ”
Grand Duke Julius smiled brightly and said meaningfully.
"You said that last time. The political officer on the left frowned and muttered in a low voice, "May I ask, Your Highness, where are you going, and how long are you going?"
Grand Duke Julius touched his nose in embarrassment and said, "This time it will definitely rise, it will definitely rise." I'm going to the Maple Leaf Danlin for a meeting, maybe I'll have to go to the palace, and I don't know how long it will take to come back. Anyway, it's business as usual. ”
The administrative officer nodded and said, "What we can't decide, is whether we still have to ask Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
Grand Duke Julius spread his hands and said, "Nicole is probably not available, you can decide for yourself." ”
Everyone couldn't help but smile bitterly and glanced at each other.
It is rare for the two giants of Julian and Princess Catherine to be absent at the same time, and in the absence of a responsible decision-maker, the officials below suddenly feel a little overwhelmed.
The last time Archduke Julius and Catherine were both on the job, they were no less offended.
Archduke Julian didn't care about that, anyway, he paid these people, and these people had to work for him.
After announcing it, he complained to himself while the people under his command did not react. Immediately shouted "adjournment", then shook his hand, pulled Lorraine and left.
For a whole day after that, Archduke Julius pulled Lorraine and Lester and them, and asked Lorraine in detail about his experience in the Demon Clan, as well as all aspects of the Demon Continent.
It can be seen that the Grand Duke is very enthusiastic about the upcoming High Priest of the Undead, and even does not care about it, saying that Haddou is just a minor trouble.
Before you know it, several people are already talking about the evening.
The attendants next to him also lit up all the lights.
Only then did everyone react and couldn't help but smile at each other.
At this moment, hearing the sound of horse-drawn carriages outside the window, and the crisp and pleasant laughter, Lorraine knew that Catherine and the others had finally returned.
Lorraine and Archduke Julius stood up at the same time, and looked down through the window, while Catherine and the others were chattering with each other as they walked inside, while behind them the servants were carrying all sorts of boxes down from four full carriages.
Lorraine gasped, they went out to rob, right?
Julian Grandduke shook his head, seven points of sympathy, three points of envy glanced at Lorraine, and said secretly in his heart: I used to shave this kid for a long time, and I was a little embarrassed, but now it seems that I have taken less! This kid is so generous for his girlfriend......
Envy, jealousy and hatred, all kinds of thoughts swept through the Grand Duke's heart for a while, and finally the Grand Duke sighed and patted Lorraine on the shoulder.
"Yo, is the harvest good?" Lester leaned over with his head poked his head and rubbed his hands together and smiled, "I don't know if Dai'er has brought any good things back to his grandfather." It's good to have a daughter, don't you think Julius is it?"
Grand Duke Julius agreed.
Catherine walked in first, and said, "Huh," and said, "You're all here." ”
Archduke Julian asked ill-intentionedly, "Good daughter, are you having fun?"
"Oops," said Catherine, stretching widely, "my feet are swollen from running." But...... It's been a long time since I've had such a good time~!"
Grand Duke Julian glanced at Lorraine, but finally couldn't help it, and asked, "That, good daughter, how much money did you make a day today?"
"Is this" Catherine's eyes rolled, 1 small hand covered her mouth, and said in a slurred voice: "It's not much." ”
"How much?" asked Archduke Julius.
Catherine stretched out her hand and gestured a little, and said cautiously, "Probably, like, almost............... 120,000, or a little more. ”
Archduke Julian took a breath, and then glanced at Lorraine next to him with some sympathy.

Lorraine and they stayed in Constantine for another day, and under the leadership of the local snake Leo, Vera experienced the exotic food in an all-round way, and the little face she ate became more and more bright and ruddy, like a ripe apple, which made people can't help but want to kiss it.
Catherine and the others had a great time playing for two days, and they were addicted to shopping.
Early in the morning of the third day, the fortress of war set sail again to pick up Pope Shilme Lìa, who had been preaching for several days, at Nidel.
After that, they replenished the energy and took the maple leaf danlin directly, where there was a joint meeting of the highest level in the whole continent, which was waiting for them.
In the war fortress flying at full speed, everyone was crammed into a small room.
Archduke Julian and Lorraine, Lester and Obakhim, Sirmea and St. Paul, they represent the tripartite of the Juman Empire, the Maple Leaf Danlin and the Holy See.
Lorraine and the others gathered together to first unify the positions of the three giants before negotiating with the countries.
Although everyone is their own person, it is a matter of responsibility and interests, and none of these people are not old foxes, and they are all cautiously waiting for others to speak first.
Although Lorraine has a heart, he is the youngest in his generation, he is just a young hooligan, and there is a young hooligan sitting next to him, but there are old hooligans all around. Just a Shirmì lìa or their own child.
St. Paul's Dolu looked at the appearance of the old god Lester there, and secretly said in his heart, old children, like to compete with people.
Then he broke the silence and said, "Julius, Lorraine, you are experts, with your eyes, how long do we have before the demon people attack?"
Lorraine and Grand Duke Julius glanced at each other, thought for a moment, and said seriously: "Before we left, in fact, the construction of the war fortress of the demon clan had not been completely completed.
I've heard that the High Priest of the Dead has been stockpiling supplies, but the mass conscription has not yet begun.
Nor did any army build-up move.
In my judgment, the operation of the High Priest of the Dead is still in the stage of logistical preparation. Good news, at least we didn't wait for them to come to the door before we knew the war had broken out. ”
St. Paulo smiled slightly, leaned back in his chair, and said with a relieved expression: "Although the expedition to the Demon Continent ended in failure, thanks to the background at that time, our intelligence work in the Demon Clan was still very successful.
Although it was a huge loss to deliver this news, it was worth it. ”
The Holy See has a tradition of engaging in intelligence work, and their churches and clergy all over the mainland are the most professional intelligence gatherers.
Therefore, the Holy See has always been the most sensitive in its grasp of the situation on the mainland, but it is only the bloated institutions and bureaucratic style that they think have lowered their efficiency.
Lorraine knows that although the SB movies about Jinyiwei have been made one after another, Jinyiwei has been synonymous with bad guys and perverts.
However, the Ming Jinyi Guard, however, put his own intelligence agent into the "Japan" book, but later it was abolished because of people.
Sun Tzu has said that intelligence work is very important at all times.
Grand Duke Julius nodded approvingly, there are some things, and I have to go to the people of the Holy See to inquire.
"But what I know for sure," Lorraine continued, "After all this fuss we have made, the Undead High Priest will definitely speed up the war preparations of the entire demon race.
As far as I know, the demon officials have always spared their lives in order to complete the task.
