Chapter 1501 Salty and Restoration (I, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"Councillor Wascent, welcome to the Provisional Government of the Semitic Republic, and from this day onwards you will be an honorable member of the great Semitic parliamentary system.
I hope that Your Excellency will continue to contribute to the great cause of the Semitic people in the future, hahaha......" Leo sat in his carriage and looked at the nobleman outside the window...... To be precise, it was the former aristocrat who said loudly.
Now all the Semitic areas under the Provisional Government of the Republic are equal according to the sacred Declaration of the Rights of Man.
The Semitic tribes no longer have nobles, some are just citizens.
If anyone dares to openly call himself an aristocrat and use a badge or symbol representing his or her noble status, he will be invited by the CIA to drink coffee and conduct civic education at the Blomshire Coal Mine Education Center for three months to several years.
The man bowed down, bowed his head and listened respectfully to Chairman Leo's teachings, the expression on his face was extremely serious, but there was uncontrollable ecstasy in his eyes, and he said in a humble tone: "I respect the teachings of my lord, and I must work hard to live up to my expectations." ”
"Well," Leo nodded like a big man, and encouraged, "do a good job." ”
With a wave of his hand, the carriage slowly set off and rejoined the flow of the Western Expeditionary Army.
The newly promoted Congressman Watsant bowed deeply to the carriage until a dozen seconds later, when he straightened up.
Seeing that the tax policeman's convoy had disappeared into the rolling crowd, he let out a long breath and grinned proudly.
Councillor Wazon was about forty years old, tall and thin, with slender eyes, a loose face, and thinning hair on the top of his head, and he looked like a stern elementary school principal.
Although he also has a noble status, he is not as noble as Ivan and Baron Fox. The status is not high, the property is not much, not good at management, but he likes to read and study, and he is also a well-known scholar in the province of Moronto.
But he has the common problem of all the stinky old nine, thinks very highly of himself, and looks down on those nobles who are full of fat and only know the sound of dogs and horses.
And he has a low eye, in general, he has no money and no ability, so he has always been unwilling and excluded from the circle by the nobles.
Originally, I thought that the two hundred acres of fiefdom on the ancestor of the code would not be able to eat or starve, and this life would be like this, but I didn't expect that as soon as the human army arrived, his fate would also change.
At this moment, Wazent still felt like he was in a dream, and he couldn't even imagine how this qiē could happen so quickly.
Watsant sighed as he turned back to his home.
He looked at the appointment certificate with a red ribbon on the table, and couldn't help but show a faint smile: Finally...... Finally, I have a day to get out of the way~!
He paused for a moment, and then shouted loudly, "Wife, add two more dishes today and celebrate well." ”
There was a middle-aged woman's impatient roar in the back kitchen: "Isn't it just that someone is looking for you to be some kind of bad official?"
Look at what you can, you have the ability to pee to the sky? The old lady is really blind, marry you, a broken nobleman, when will you have a good life~!"
Councillor Wascent stroked his forehead helplessly and sighed: This woman can't reason with her~!
Just now, when a large group of human soldiers dressed in black came to knock on the door, the family was still trembling with fear, but now as soon as they saw that it was safe, they immediately came to the spirit, and began to roar again.
However, this is not surprising: now that the war is in chaos, how long will this battle last? Who will win and who will lose in the end?
As a thrifty woman, she instinctively chooses to escape.
Therefore, I am very dissatisfied with my husband's rise to become an official at this time, what if the undead high priest and the dark mage kill again?
In addition, although Watsant is conceited and talented, he was born at the wrong time, and the whole world is drunk and I am alone.
But he has never come out, and he has not even found a small clerk. So when she speaks, she is also very sharp-tongued and scathing, leaving no room for it.
Hearing her sarcasm, Wason was furious, slapped the table, and shouted: "Women's family, you know a fart." Do you know who that little dead fat man is? Saying it scares you to death. ”
He paused for a moment and said in a loud voice: "That's the second master Leole, the famous Lonely Journey Lei Guangguang, the prince of the largest country on the human side, and the big boss behind the human alliance. ”
As the words fell, he was very satisfied to hear the sound of a plate breaking from the back kitchen, and for the first time, he did not feel sorry for the plate at all.
Immediately afterwards, I saw a chubby woman running out from behind like a gust of wind, looked at Wascent, and said in surprise: "What you said is true?"
Wason shook his clothes proudly and said, "Of course. ”
He stretched out his hand and pointed to the letter of appointment on the table, and said, "You just hid in the back and didn't hear it. This was personally sent by Second Master Lei, inviting me to serve as a member of the provincial government, and inviting me to the door, do you know how grand this is? Do you know how big an official this is?"
The woman lowered her head, looked at the piece of paper in a daze, then shook her head, and said, "I don't know, how big an official is this?
Her tone couldn't help but be full of expectation,
Although she didn't know what this 'councilor' was, since it was sent by the famous Lei Er personally, this official designation was not trivial. As long as you are enough to be an official at the level of a sheriff, you don't have to worry about breaking through the house without gifts.
"I ......," Wason paused for a moment, then said rather breathlessly, "I don't know." ”
The letter of appointment did not say anything about the salary, and he did not know what kind of official the councilor was.
Seeing the look of disdain flashing in his wife's eyes again, he hurriedly said: "However, Lei Er said, this councilor is in charge of a lot of things, from the officials to the people.
The power is very great, and the governor of the province must be polite when he sees it, and if the councillors are displeased, we can remove the governor from office. ”
The woman couldn't help but be taken aback: the governor of the province also has to be polite? The governor is a prince, like a king, how big an official does this councilor have? Isn't it going to be on an equal footing with the governor of the province?
At that moment, the excited light in his eyes couldn't help but flicker a few times.
At this time, Wason continued: "You bastard, I sue you that the current law allows divorce." Be careful, Lao Tzu will divorce you and marry a young and beautiful one. ”
"You old thing~!" The woman was furious at the moment, and she was about to go up and beat Wacent, but after raising her hand a few times, she finally swallowed her anger and said with a smile: "Okay, Master Watcent, I'll go and fry a few dishes for you." ”
But when he turned his head, he scolded in a low voice: "What a bullshit law." Which bastard is determined, it's really a conscience-losing ......"
Then Wason called out again, "You'd better hurry, and I'll go to see the Governor in a moment, and discuss the affairs of the government." ”
The woman hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly replied, "Got it." ”

Lorraine led his army with a thunderous force and swept all the way west across the continent.
The artillery opened the way, the ground and air were integrated, and there was not even a slight enemy in the front.
Wherever the army went, a new government was formed, a new government was formed, the powerful were cracked down, the serfs were freed, and the land was distributed, which immediately won the warm welcome and support of the people.
And for the vast majority of nobles, this is not a bad thing.
Because few people, except for large landowners, have more than three hundred acres of land. Even if it is exceeded, it is not too much, for the sake of his life, he will sell it.
These people were all small and medium-sized nobles, who accounted for the vast majority of the Semitic aristocracy, but they were often limited to their status, disdaining to serve as low-level officials in the local area, and in the company of ordinary people.
However, the positions of officials are limited, and the real power of high-ranking officials is not their turn, and the vast majority of people just stay at home and live on the land inherited from their ancestors.
Therefore, Lord Luo made a big killer move - inviting them to become officials in the government.
As long as those nobles who have been verified and have no problems, and well-known local people, they can get an invitation from Second Master Lei and invite them to serve as members of the new government.
As soon as this policy was introduced, it was very well received by everyone.
When it's usually fine, he points fingers at government officials, commands indiscriminately, and once something happens, he can pat his ass and leave, and he doesn't have to bear the responsibility of being a big fart.
This is still a salary, benefits, bonuses. The best thing is that as long as you become this councilor, you still have a lot of privileges.
Although it can't be compared with when I was a nobleman before. But no one dares to investigate and deal with those who usually drive a car while drunk, run a red light casually, park indiscriminately or something.
And the High Priest of the Dead has to collect a tax of 200 million gold coins from Spirit Flash a year, and once this matter is announced, it also greatly shakes all walks of life in the Semitic race. It also won the support of public opinion for the Semitic provisional government.
Even if the High Priest is a die-hard supporter, he has to hesitate when he hears this news.
Heaven and earth are large, and the High Priest of the Undead is the largest, but the High Priest of the Undead is not as big as a gold coin.
After all, the high priest is not his wife, even if you like and love him again, but when you find that he is taking money from his pocket, and most of your money, you can't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
And in the attack of the army, for the sake of calming people's hearts. As long as there is no resistance, under normal circumstances, the positions of government officials are basically unchanged, but the government is reorganized, the army is reorganized, and part of the army is left to watch them and wait for the new government to be reorganized.
This naturally won the popularity of officials, although the dynasty has changed, as long as everyone can still be officials, there is nothing unacceptable, just change the official name.
Although before the arrival of the Lorraine army, everyone was still holding on, and they kept saying that they would fight the human race to the end.
But as soon as the banner of the human army appeared on the horizon, and the huge shadow of the fortress of war was about to fly overhead, these people all came to their senses at once, and sent a bundle of secret police sent by Prime Minister Madorins to the human army, weeping bitterly like lost lambs, and changed their banners one after another, and threw themselves into the arms of the great demon god.
In just over ten days, the Lorraine army has advanced wildly, like wings, and has captured half of the Lingshan~!

"It's a republic now...... "Dris, the tax collector, squinted at the sky outside the window, then took a hard sip from his glass and burped.
Flying Eagle Wine's high spirits stabbed his stomach as if it were burning, and his whole face was all pinched, full of wrinkles, and after a while, he sighed and said, "Walter coffee, Walter coffee, good wine, good wine~!"
As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the roast leg of lamb on the table, took a big bite, and then tore off a piece of meat fiercely, chewing it in his mouth.
Big drops of grease flowed down the corners of the mouth. It didn't take much time, and his mouth was already full of shiny oil.
He straightened his neck, swallowed the mutton, poured a large sip of spirits, and then picked up a toothpick and picked out the yellow teeth in his mouth.
Then he reached out and pulled out a few strands of meat from his mouth, looked at them twice, and then stuffed them into his mouth again.
"Now it's a republic...... "He muttered to himself, staring at the table in front of him for a moment, his mind spinning as he could get some more money to spend, for the bottle had already drained his pocket.
As a tax collector in the original place, although he has a lot of salary and more money, he also has a large hand, and he eats, drinks, prostitutes, and gambles like other tax collectors.
Therefore, no matter how much money you get, you can spend a clean one.
However, for those of them who have the ability, there is never a shortage of money, and when they don't have money, they just go to the countryside and have it casually.
Therefore, after taking another sip of wine, Driss shook the half-empty bottle and decided to go out into the countryside for a walk.
He put on his hat drunkenly, then called two more subordinates, got into the carriage, and went out.
After leaving the city gate and walking more than ten miles, he came to a village and town.
Along the way, the fields everywhere are full of people ploughing, after all, the plan of the year lies in spring.
Originally, these ordinary people would not have been so industrious, and they had to be whipped by the landlord's caretaker.
But now that the land has been distributed to their own hands, these fellows have involuntarily become industrious, and some even build a shack and live on the ground, as if they are afraid that their land will suddenly run away with long legs.
Seeing their appearance, a sneer flashed in Dris's eyes: these people really thought that they had changed the sky.
As an old tax collector, he has always insisted that this common man is a sheep, no matter when, no matter how loud the slogan is, this sheep must be slaughtered and shaved~!
If you don't slaughter them, what do the officials eat, drink, and play?
He came to the town, and then went directly to the mayor's house, and he was not polite, and said to the mayor Barty: "Mayor of the town, although it is a republic now, this tax should be paid or must be paid." ”
The mayor of the town was already beating a drum in his heart when he saw him, and when he heard this, he grinned even more.
Since the land is now divided. The people are very motivated, and for the sake of their future life, they forcibly pulled out some money from between their teeth and bought farm tools and the like.
In addition, it is spring now, and this green and yellow is not connected, and every family's tank has seen the bottom. At this time, even the common people can't squeeze oil out of their bones, and naturally they don't have any money left over to pay taxes.
Driss looked at the mayor's blue face, but there was a dark smile in his heart: the more green and yellow this kind of green and yellow, but the best time for them to go to the countryside to extort money.
At this time, because the common people can't pay any money, as long as they scare a few more words, they are all honest, and they have to pay bribes to themselves in order to postpone the payment of taxes.
He thought as he winked at the two men next to him.
The two men immediately screamed and threatened.
"Hurry up and pay your taxes, or I'll get you in jail or I'll get you in jail." ”
"You Diao people, you really don't know what to do, the government just gave each of you ten acres of land, do you just report back to the government like this?"
"Believe it or not, take back all your land now?"
"Hurry up and pay the money~!"
"If you dare to resist taxes and not pay, it is like rebellion~!"
"The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths of the Human Army's Soul Chasing Thunderbolt Gun is not vegetarian. ”
"Be careful to annoy Lord Luo, he sent someone to use machine guns to surprise all of you Diao people~!"
“......”
Under their wanton intimidation, the mayor turned pale with fright, and said with a smile: "Three adults, don't be angry first. Sit here, have a cup of tea, and have a bite to eat. I'm going to talk to the people of the town......"
Driss didn't say anything, just let out a faint 'um' and sat down in the mayor's place, his feet on the table.
But the two people next to him still didn't give up, and shouted, "You'd better hurry." ”
"This is an extremely strict political task. ”
"If Lord Luo's military plan is delayed, your whole village can't afford to bear it. ”
"If it affects the Western Expedition, you are the sinners of history. ”
Where has the mayor seen this, he is a small village by himself, how can he not collect taxes, he will become a sinner of history. Frightened, he was sweating profusely, and after laughing dryly, he hurriedly turned around and walked out.
One of the tax collectors turned to the other and asked, "Wall, what do you mean by an extremely strict political task?"
Wall gritted his teeth and smiled: "Actually, I don't know, but it sounds pretty powerful, so I used it to scare the dead people, you didn't look at him, he was scared and almost peed out?"
At this moment, I heard the mayor shouting loudly outside: "Old woman, quick, the old tax collectors are here, kill a few more chickens, and bring out the good wine that I have hidden for ten years." ”
Hearing his words, the three people in the room looked at each other, and then they all grinned with their teeth bared. (To be continued.) )
