，

Rabaol also knows the impact of the news on Lorraine. So just check the head and speak, leaving Lorraine there to be cranky.

When Lorraine heard the news, he was very confused, and said secretly in his heart: Governor, Governor, he is the king of the land in this era.

If you become a governor, you can rob whoever you want, you can rob whoever you want, you can smash whomever you want, and you don't have to pay for Lao Tzu to go to the restaurant, and you will go to the next one when the time comes. The main street should also be closed in advance, and the next grassroots should also be hugged before and after. No matter if it is a cold winter, there are still people beating gongs and drums next to it, warmly welcomed. And then a whole bunch of subordinates surrounded the big fart."

That's really whatever you want

No wonder Lorraine was shocked. He knows the old saying, the county order that raids the house, the prefect who destroys the door, and the officials below are all so birdish, not to mention this governor in charge of the military and political power of a province.

I think that at the beginning, the Jia Mansion, a family known as loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, among them, the boss of the Jia family, the uncle of Baoyu's brother, and Jia Yu's classmates, although it is a rice bucket, "farts are not counted." can only drink and marry a wife, in the Nuo Dajia Mansion, let alone a person, even a dog looks down on him.

But even so, Uncle Jia wanted to play with it in his hands for a few days because he fell in love with a few ancestral fans from other people's families. With a wave of his hand, the people were ruined.

Isn't it amazing? It's those poor people on the street who shoot and kill people for a pair of shoes. At the very least, that's for survival. But Uncle Jia played elegantly by himself, and he made people ruined

And this is just an ordinary magnate. Not to mention a governor

And in this era, due to the lack of transportation. The power of the governor can even be said to be absolute, and there is only one superior above the governor, the emperor, and no one else hangs him.

Locally not only money and food. Taxes and criminal names are all under the management of the governor, and all the following officials can be appointed, which can be called the establishment of the government and the opening of the government.

In addition to the five-year term of office, he can be said to be a local king, even the prime minister Russell sometimes has no problem with those governors, after all, people only listen to the emperor's orders.

Lorraine couldn't wait to roar in his heart, and secretly exclaimed: This time, I have reached the lord!

But at this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Russell's wrinkled old face flashed a very imperceptible smile.

Lorraine's heart suddenly froze, and when he looked closely, he saw that the Prime Minister of the empire was calmly looking at his gaze, and he couldn't see any flaws at all.

Lorraine made up his mind for a moment, and then thought about it: No, when will Russell be so kind? Will he dig a pit again, let me jump into it, well, very good

This old guy has always been scheming, and he is still the fox of the empire, so don't be blinded by sugar-coated shells.

But "this is the governor of a province."

The Governor of Great Power.

The governor of the feudal officials.

He can be a governor who is three feet high in the sky and seven points thin in the earth.

If you like something, you don't have to make a move yourself, you can casually play with other people's unspoken rules with one look,

Russell crossed his hands and propped them under his chin, and by the light, he looked at Lorraine opposite with interest, usually only seeing the old god there. Or Lorraine, who has a hippie smile, can now see Lorraine's face change once in a while, which is rare.

After thinking about it, Lorraine thought about it for a long time, and then looked up at Russell and asked anxiously: "That, Lord Xiang, nothing happened in Neyan Province, right?"

Russell smiled and waved his hand. "As always, just some questions. However, which province has no problems?

Although Lorraine also knew that bandits were everywhere in this era, and there were as many thieves as dogs, she couldn't help but be stunned when she heard him say it so bluntly.

However, he saw Russell's disapproving look, and then he also understood, let you be the governor, and not let you do the salary stealing, just eat and not do things, you are doing this job.

If it is really good, there are many benefits, and the work is easy. He still has to arrange it for his brother-in-law, where will he get his turn?

Although his brother-in-law is the future emperor, it is the future after all. And now the farts are not topped, and the farts are annoying everywhere all day long. Except for the cook in the house, no one cared about him.

Lorraine thought of this, and also accompanied him, "Hehe, laughed dryly." said: "That's what the adults said. ”

He groaned slightly. Then he continued: "But why me? Lord Xiang, I am still very clear about my achievements, although the credit is not yet enough to be directly appointed as the governor

Russell saw that Lorraine was not carried away by this surprise under such a heavy appointment, and eagerly agreed, but with a cautious face, and his heart was very praised: clear-headed, alert and sharp. Sure enough, he is a young man who is worthy of a great responsibility.

At that moment, he nodded subconsciously, and then said in a deep voice: "There is naturally a reason for this. The Marquis of Marleton, the current governor of Naian, has always been known for his ability to fight.

Therefore, the Empire needs him to sit on the northern front and command the Delen barbarian crusade this time. This back and forth, so the position of the governor of Naian was vacant, and His Majesty the emperor was more interested in you and proposed to let you be the governor of Nai'an

Lorraine was stunned for a moment and said, "His Majesty the Emperor personally ordered my name?"

Russell frowned and said, "Earl, you can't even believe my words?"

"Where, where. Lorraine laughed dryly, and hurriedly waved his hand, but said secretly in his heart: It seems that the dead old man is also one. The guy who folded the re-rule. After taking my diamond ring!. It's also a good fist training!

He thought about it for a moment. Then he continued: "It's as simple as that, but I'm old, and I'm going to be out of the governor's office, and it's inevitable that no one else will have an opinion. ”

Russell spread his hands. He smiled and said, "Otherwise, what else can you do? After all, you and Your Majesty are also a family." Of course Majesty wants to take care of you. ”

He saw that Lorraine's face was hesitant, and waved his hand very straightforwardly at the moment, and said, "Forget it, I can see that you have doubts in your heart." Let me explain it to you. ”

Lorraine immediately pricked up his ears.

Russell thought for a moment. Then he said slowly: "In terms of age, you are definitely not qualified.

The governor-general is in high power. Commanding one side can be said to be the cornerstone of maintaining the stability of the empire, and the importance of the position is far greater than that of the commander of the empire.

It requires all of them to be both civil and military, and experienced and capable personnel. They must not only have rich experience in internal affairs, but also have the ability to lead troops in combat.

In each province, there is at least one standing army of legions, which is responsible for tasks such as suppressing bandits and counterinsurgency.

So, you also saw that there was not a single Imperial Governor under the age of forty. Because all of these things have to be tempered at the grassroots level for many years, they can accumulate rich experience and handle things correctly, and they will not be reported by the officials below, and they will look festive, and the so-called "all the forms are all good; not good, but very good, and the official articles will be deceived

Lorraine listened and immediately grinned.

Russell also smiled at the moment, and then continued: "If you take office, as soon as this news is released, I think it will definitely cause a boil."

Lorraine also knows the importance of officialdom in terms of seniority, why did Chen Shimei hide his marriage and marry a princess, is he going to cut off his head after reading the crime of bullying the monarch for so many years?

It's not because he knows the overall strength

Don't look at this girl, she has taken the top prize, there is no one inside, it is possible to turn around and put a poor mountain and bad water magistrate outside him, and it is related to the last place in the exam, as long as it is a relationship with guò, draw a "outstanding ability, the assessment, still climb his head, and become a big official."

When the time comes, we will meet. He still had to lie on the ground and "bow down" to others. The ground kowtows.

That's where Lorraine thought. I didn't object at the moment, just nodded. Didn't speak.

Russell continued: "Lorraine, leading the army, I believe in your skills, but when it comes to internal affairs experience, you can say that you basically have no experience, right?"

Lorraine shrugged. said: "I still have this self-knowledge, even if I have only fought two battles, I have experience in leading the army, and I have also passed the reputation."

Russell nodded. Approvingly, he said: "With the honor of being an Almohad conqueror, and still being able to keep a clear mind, it is very rare among young people." However, in terms of internal affairs, you can also learn slowly, not to mention that you also have the world's first female governor by your side. ”

Speaking of which, here. Russell laughed.

Lorraine looked at him expressionlessly, and could only slander in his heart: You are also saying that I am white-faced, hmph, for the sake of being a "governor, for the sake of being a "governor, I don't care about you."

Russell is also a good person, and he knew what he was thinking at a glance after Lorraine, shook his head and said, "Lorraine, I'm not sarcastic about you. Can be favored by Catherine. It means that you can be favored by the Ruman royal family. Ability is a description of ability.

Catherine is not only beautiful, but also in a high position, and there are many people who have pursued her in the first two years

Almost all the countries on this continent have come to propose relatives, and here they are in front of a momentary hero or a future emperor or king, but "

Russell shrugged. said: "But that Nizi is also worthy of being the daughter of the Grand Duke Julian, and after overturning a few people who pestered her under the fire, no one dared to shake in front of her." The Grand Duke Julian felt sorry for his daughter, and in a hurry, he even let out the words that he wanted to marry Catherine, and let him pass that level first

Lorraine let out an "ah", and felt her heart and liver tremble as soon as she wanted to be cut raw pork by the old butcher. But when I think about it, it's not right, why was Russell so bold last time to marry Almohad.

At this time, I listened to Russell continue: "What happened last time. The reasons for each situation are extremely complex. The implications are extensive. And it's confidential, and I can't tell you about it. But I'm sure you'll know more about it later. Naturally, you'll understand

Lorraine couldn't help but snort. I feel that these guys are the same as the dead eunuchs in the Qing Palace, all of them are this stinky virtue, I know a lot of what, but I just don't tell you, so I do mystery.

Russell didn't explain, pretending not to see the displeasure on his face. He continued: "Your Majesty later felt that what he had done was a little inappropriate, and appointed you as the governor to compensate Her Highness Catherine. ”

Lorraine "cut in his heart, and secretly thought: You give it to the old guy." Blame the emperor for abandonment, and dare to say that it is not your idea to take Catherine to make peace.

Seeing Lorraine smiling ill-willedly, Rao is an old politician, and let the emperor carry the black pot for him, Russell is also a little embarrassed.

He laughed dryly, hurriedly forked the conversation, and continued: "That's how the whole thing happened, you know, right?

Although you are inexperienced and not qualified, but with the support of His Majesty the Emperor, to serve as the governor of Nai'an, I believe you can still be competent

Although Russell said the truth, Lorraine was still a little bottomless in his heart, this pie that fell from the sky was too big.

Lorraine is very abandoning the principle of being cheap and not greedy, and the more it looks like a good thing. In the end, maybe you will only suffer more losses. Lorraine said worriedly, "If, I mean if, something is wrong with Nell

Russell froze.

He looked Lorraine up and down for a while, and saw that Lorraine's heart began to grow, and said, "Is there something wrong?"

Russell let out a long sigh.

He shook his head, and said secretly in his heart: You, what is the brain, you think too well.

Russell said, "Lorraine. You're too cunning

Lorraine said: "Otherwise, as the adults said, I have no experience in politics, and my own qualifications are not enough, so I rashly become the governor of a province and deal with those complicated things, and there is the greatest possibility of problems."

Russell said, "If all the young people are like you now, it will be much easier for us old guys." Okay, I'll tell you the original words: if you can handle it well, of course it's better, if you can't handle it well, you should be taught a lesson, that is, if you are really in big trouble, let Archduke Julius wipe your ass. ”

Lorraine raised an eyebrow. I thought to myself: Is there really such a good thing?

"But," Russell said, "Lorraine, have you seen His Majesty?"

"Well, just" Lorraine nodded, immediately came to his senses, and hurriedly changed his words, "Eh, coincidence, coincidence." ”

He secretly said in his heart: It's dangerous. It's so dangerous, I almost told the truth, if I really said that I had seen the emperor in my brothel, and I was blocked by Catherine in a room, if it was spread. The dead old man did not transfer himself to Gugra in Siberia and was imprisoned for the rest of his life

Russell looked at Lorraine's changing expression, and secretly laughed in his heart, it seemed that it was really that. It's no wonder that Jouronde treats Lorraine so favorably

Russell looked at Lorraine as if he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle, and said, "Okay, in order to give you complete peace of mind, let's tell you some unspoken rules." ”

"Unspoken rules?" Luo Lin's eyes lit up immediately, and then he said very dissatisfiedly: "Lord Xiang, you should have said these words a long time ago, but I have been guessing for a long time." Always worried about what conspiracy was going on. ”

Russell immediately choked on his saliva.

He smiled wryly. Then he rested his hands on the table and leaned forward a little. "Do you know the principles governing the appointment of governors?"

Lorraine shook her head honestly.

Russell said, "Actually. His Majesty and I were considering the choice of Governor. The first thing to look at is the background, and then the talent.

If the background is too good, it will not be considered

Lorraine let out an "oh" in realization.

Rajir said, "Looks like you understand. ”

Lorraine nodded and said, "As soon as the adults say this, I understand." ”

Russell said, "Alas. Many of those people from big families are very talented, but it's a pity. But for the sake of the stability of the empire, none of these people can be reused. Because the family consciousness of those people is too strong, sometimes the loyalty to the empire is overdone.

If there are really outstanding ones, you will even invite them to a cup of coffee, go to the Bastille for free sightseeing for thirty or fifty years, or something. ”

Lorraine nodded, then said, "yes, yes." If it is not restricted, the greater the power, the more destructive it is. If they rebel, it will be very troublesome for everyone

Russell clapped his hands at the moment. Appreciative: "You said no"

He continued: "Putting aside your other identities, just say that you are the only seedling of the Lorraine family, and the Lorraine family is just a family in a ravine, you won't be angry when I say that Lorraine, right?"

Lorraine smiled and said, "There, you are very right. ”

Russell nodded and said, "So, I can take the liberty of saying that with your relationship with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, you will not rebel no matter what, and Your Majesty and I can rest assured of you." ”

Uncle Lorraine blushed a little in great difficulty, and Russell was very happy when he saw it. It's rare that you shameless bastard has embarrassing times.

But Russell still didn't let go, and said: "Alas, looking at the fiery love of your young people, we old people can only envy it. Okay, I say so, you should also understand, go back and discuss with Catherine, if you have any requests, I will try to get you from your majesty. ”

Lorraine stood up and said, "Thank you for your advice."

Russell waved his hand. said: "Don't thank me, after so many years, this time it is the most pleasant to talk to you." Okay, I won't send you away, if you have any questions, you can come and find them at any time

Lorraine bowed. "Well, then, I take my leave, my lord." ”

After Lorraine walked out of Russell's office, he saw Viscount Friedrich waiting for him outside, and Viscount Friedrich smiled and said to Lorraine: "Is it so good to see Lord Xiang talk about sex, it seems that the Count and Lord Xiang are very compatible." ”

Lorraine said in her heart, "It's a good fit, Russell doesn't bother me a lot, but tonight he's a rare good person."

Lorraine said: "If you can listen to the teachings of Lord Xiang, of course you have to cherish the opportunity." ”

Viscount Friedrich sighed and said, "I really envy His Excellency the Count

"There," Lorraine said, "you just praised me for your cleverness." ”

Viscount Friedrich's eyes narrowed again, and said: "Lord Xiang really said so, Lorraine, please come with me, I promised Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and Sister Adele to send you home on time." (To be continued)
