This city is different, the people here are more confident, and although they are still busy, they are more like they are busy for themselves.

And compared to other places, life here seems to be more dynamic.

While Ethan was thinking about this, he entered the Truth Academy, came to a small courtyard in the middle of nowhere, and knocked on the courtyard door.

Soon after, the door opened, and an old man with a white beard and kind eyes appeared behind it.

"The next time I come in directly, I don't have anything unsightly here."

"That's so offensive, knocking is still needed, and...... Hehe, so you can move a little more, right? ”

After coming to the house and sitting down, the two joked with each other.

Essen's expression was also much more relaxed, he respected the old man in front of him from the bottom of his heart, and because the old man was always not shy to talk to him, he could get along with the old man more like a young man than usual.

"Look, I don't know who it is, when I first saw me, I was a Honorable Annan."

Annan shook his head and said with a slight amusement: "I know that you spoke ill of me to His Highness Seris a few days ago. ”

"I thought it was just a minor issue......"

The young knight's face was a little embarrassed, and his voice was much quieter, and he said embarrassedly and a little puzzled: "Speaking of which, after the handover, why did you say that you shouldn't ask you about the Chamber of Commerce again?" And also ran to other places, traveled for a while? ”

"We didn't see each other well in those days."

Annan shook his head, and then sighed: "The responsibility for this matter and the follow-up plan need to be placed on me, with me as a shield, your pressure will be less, and it will be easier to cooperate." ”

He looked at the young knight, who had become ashamed after being stunned, waved his hand, then took out a book and handed it over.

"This is the tax book, and all the accounts in the future must be recorded on it, and this is a copy of the general ledger, and the original is in His Highness, and after that, a large number of copies will be handed over to you, which will be distributed to the people below."

"From now on, all the accounts of all localities must be written in the book."

"If that account is marked red, you need to send an inspection team to solve it, of course, my personal opinion is that you must lead troops every time, otherwise the students trained by the academy will be wiped out."

Ethan looked at the large book in his hand, which had a silver-gray shell and exuded a metallic luster, and gradually understood its effect.

It's an alchemical artifact that doesn't have attack power, but it's still magical.

Each tax book has a biography function, and the accounts in it are written down on the tax book and then uploaded to the higher tax book.

Each of these accounts, if there is a red, it means that there is a problem with this account, but the red will only appear in the general ledger in his hand, and the authority of the other sub-specimens to be marked in red needs to be given by him.

"It's so convenient!"

Esen couldn't help but say excitedly: "No wonder Your Highness will let you be a Silver Sage!" ”

Bronze, Silver Radiance, and Radiance, these are the three levels of sages in the jurisdiction, the most basic bronze sages, all have the authority to serve as officials, and most importantly, according to different ranks, sages have different research funding authority.

For example, at the level of the Silver Sage, you can set up your own laboratory and then approve research funds.

Mages, alchemists, craftsmen...... If you need to study things, you need to apply to the sages of Yinhui, if you have achievements and become a bronze sage, then you don't need to apply, as long as there is a project, a certain amount of research funds will be issued.

The highest-level Radiant Sage is in charge of all the research funds in the jurisdiction, and can directly draw all available manpower, and there is currently only Seris alone.

Therefore, the position of the Yinhui Sage in the jurisdiction of the municipality can be said to be quite lofty.

Originally, Essen was still a little puzzled, and even felt that some of the destruction of the sage rank was based on the approval criteria of research ability, but because of his relationship with Annan and the fact that this was a direct decision of His Royal Highness, he did not raise any objections.

But now he has figured it out.

This is not a silver sage, so who can be? Essen even felt that His Royal Highness should give the old Mr. Annan in front of him a glorious sage!

As soon as the tax book comes out, I don't know how much the mathematical talents needed at the grassroots level can be reduced, and it can also reduce the problem of corruption in people's hearts!

"I didn't just participate in the development of this thing...... The technical idea of this is related to an important plan, and you are not yet ready to know, but you will know later. ”

Annan smiled gently.

As a puppet clone of Seris, at this time, he naturally needs to give Essen, who is considered a confidant, a hint in advance.

The tax book is actually the product of his ontology's research on soul technology, which is initially mature.

Today's Seris has reached the point where he can decompose souls and create pure soul particles, and the means of soul reorganization have also matured.

After having the idea of the tax book, after Siris's scourge on a bunch of demons, and after inscribed mechanical thinking on these reconstituted souls, he asked the reconstituted souls to learn math with him through the bug of the card crown of truth, and then mass-produced souls with mathematical knowledge.

The soul is then fused with a book-shaped alchemy that can carry the soul, and it becomes the tax book.

Of course, this is the first version of the tax book.

The soul that now possesses mathematical knowledge is contained in a soul stone tablet made of precious materials in the underground hall, in which the souls are arranged in a fixed form and connected to each other, which has the function of transmission.

Each tax book has a solidified ritual that allows you to communicate with a soul in the soul tablet, and then display the results of the calculations on the tax book.

The specific effect can be understood as artificial intelligence regulatory check.

After Essen's mood calmed down a little, he said, "Mr. Annan, after the accounts are sorted out, where should I start first?" Although I have some guesses about what His Highness means, I am not sure for sure. ”

"Now that you have an idea, you have an action, and you have the answer in your heart, you don't need to ask me again." Annan reminded, "Essen, you are the current president of the Winter Chamber of Commerce. ”

“…… I understand. ”

Essen was silent for a while, then suddenly said firmly.

He has already decided that the direction of the first audit is the people of the Oinke family who participate in the Chamber of Commerce!

……

It's snowing again......

Seris walked out of the castle and watched the snowflakes fall from the sky, his gray eyes faintly turning into the vertical pupils of a dragon, and his cold gaze looked at the sky.

"I said I would check the accounts, don't you take this as tolerance?"

The knight of the gods murmured.

He knew that there would always be people who felt that he would be afraid of the crime of slaughtering blood relatives.

In the name of his generosity, he really fooled a group of fools.

He reached out and caught a snowflake, and the majestic magic poured into the snowflake in his hand.

Letting go, the snowflakes flew forward for some distance, and then suddenly burst out with a strong suction.

And the snow from heaven and on earth poured out to it.

A white snow horse appeared in the snow.

Turning over on the horse, with a long neigh, the knight's figure became farther and farther away from the castle.
