Chapter 430: My Bread
,
Pinfelin abruptly asked Angus what he thought of Leoti. The crowd made Ange dumbfounded.
Not to mention Catherine's cronyism, whether she has the right to evaluate.
Don't say it, the object of evaluation is still not a fart, no one takes him seriously, but the future is Emperor Ruman, who holds the power of a country in the future, that scoundrel holds a grudge and retaliates, can he bear it.
The idea of contracting disaster relief and reconstruction alone is enough for Leo to break his teeth.
Because this kind of thing is so groundbreaking, there has never been a similar thing in human history.
For the first time of this "crab eating", no one can stand up and say whether it is good or bad!
But for him, who has many years of experience in governance, judging from Leo's narrative, this grandfather, who usually does not do business, does nothing, fights dogs and chickens, has a lot of "hero" deeds, and has to provoke Catherine's anger several times a day, the proposed method is very thoughtful and feasible.
What's more, the conditions given by Leo on behalf of the Flying Eagle Company are even more tempting, and they will pay the full amount in advance, and even pay the deposit in advance, which has a fatal attraction for Ney'an, who is currently in financial distress.
As a good city manager and a qualified politician, they all have and must be keenly forward-looking.
It's not that after winning a battle, then everyone can lie on the merits and eat the old book, drink wine and beauties every day, drink champagne, drive a BMW, and indulge in sensuality.
It's not for nothing that there are stupid forks that do this. But in general, they all have a common fate, to be destroyed by others.
For example, Dong Zhuo, Dong Da Fat, Bru Qing Seed, Emperor Sui Chang, Tang Xuanzong" and so on, such outstanding playboys are their representatives.
Angus, as Lorraine's deputy and the chief steward of the province of Nayan, was a very qualified politician. Otherwise, with the personality of Lord Lorraine, who has to squeeze milk out of a stone and has a toothache for a long time when he drops a copper plate, he will never allow others to get a white-collar salary from his hands.
And compared to others, Angus knows more things and sees farther than those below.
After the stormy flood that flooded the orcs beneath Nedle, Angus knew that the war was not far from over.
Although there is no clear news from the southern front, General Larry is old, and Lorraine is here. Although the governor is young, he has also been tested by the flames of war, and he is not the kind of person who can only command blindly.
Ne An has not lost a city now, not only did the orcs not take advantage, but they have already lost a lot, as long as they resist for another month, the half-orcs themselves will obediently retreat.
The orcs retreated, and Ney emerged victorious, but that didn't mean the war was over.
Everyone has suffered a lot of losses in this anti-aggression war, how can we not come back with some benefits from the middle?
And snatching things and money from the war has always been Lord Lorraine's forte. Not to mention anything else, just from the defensive battle of the Maple Leaf Danlin back then, the money made by the Maple Leaf Danlin Academy was enough for them to live an evil, corrupt and degenerate life of capitalism that everyone coveted.
I heard that those grandsons are now using paper to wipe their butts after pooping every day, isn't this just a waste of things?
Moreover, according to Lorraine's recent official documents, he has revealed several times that he will counterattack the steppe in the future. And Angus knew that Lorraine had been asking Archduke Julian for troops, and he knew that what Lorraine wanted was to at least grab a big territory
Thinking of this, Angus couldn't help but take a few quick breaths, and his eyes became eager: open up the territory and wait for it, the empire is now leaking under the greed of those dogs, and it is good to be able to hold on to his territory. How many years has it been since anyone has made such an earth-shattering feat? If Lorraine had really made such a feat, then he would have been by his side to assist himself, and maybe he would be crowned an earl or something in the future.
From the harsh Imperial Heraldic Academy, even if you get even some kind of heraldry with a dog's tail and grass and paint it on your own carriage, it will be such a glorious thing
But at the same time, Angus also knew that behind this great feat, it also meant that Ne needed to spend more military spending, to the point that he, the great butler, did not dare to think about it, because offense was more expensive than defense
Isn't war all about money and people? 991
Angus has been worrying about this matter, and he has been waiting for Lorraine to come back and plan to persuade Lorraine to dispel the idea of counterattacking the steppe in person, at least for another year, when Nell recovers.
But now, Angus, who was worried about money, was naturally very moved when he heard that Grandpa Leo was willing to pay this sum of money. How can anyone take money out of their own pockets and spend it for everyone?
Even if this kind of injustice is not unprecedented, at least it is shocking and ancient
Not to mention that it is with a lantern, it is not good with a searchlight
Angus also knew that with Lorraine and Leo in charge of the Flying Eagle Group, it was not bad money at all, and their subsidiary of Nai An Salt Industry was now a big taxpayer in Nai An Province.
Thinking that Leo's method was probably working, Angus couldn't help but bow his head and began to consider whether he could implement this method in Nedle
Angus wrinkled his eyebrows and looked down in thought, and said to himself: What would the Governor of Lorraine do if he was here?
Thinking of this, Angus's mind lit up, and Huo Ran was cheerful: for such an unprecedented but extremely feasible solution, how could it not be Leo who came up with it alone.
At first glance, this method obviously has a very strong personal color of Lorraine, thoughtful, complete means of restraint, putting everything under his control, completely bypassing the group of people who may reach out, and being strong and not allowing others to interfere.
Completely Lorraine-style!
Since it was Lorraine, the governor, who proposed it, and the two proprietresses were quite moved, Angus naturally made a decision immediately.
Isn't the golden rule of survival in officialdom to satisfy your superiors?
Angus looked up at Catherine and Adele, smiled and said: "Grandpa proposed this method, which is very feasible and beneficial to our Ney. ”
Angus turned to Leo and bowed deeply, "On behalf of the tens of thousands of people affected by Nedel, I thank Grandpa for your kindness. You've come up with a brilliant idea!"
Leo scratched the back of his head with one hand, held his head high and laughed, and said modestly while waving his chubby hand: "It's nothing, hahaha"
Catherine watched Leo keep hitting the ground with one foot, looking so carried away, that she couldn't wait to go up and grab him and ravage him.
"Seeing that you rarely do something serious, this time I will make you proud Catherine pouted, thinking with hatred in her heart.
"Okay, then let's say so first Catherine nodded and agreed to Leo's plan, and then a sneer appeared on the corner of her red lips, and she changed her words and said, "But?"
Leo listened to Catherine's "But. I just chuckled in my heart and said secretly: It's bad.
Catherine crossed her fingers, leaned on the table with her chin propped up, like a big sister of the red wolf, looked at Leo with a smile, and said, "You are not allowed to make money from the disaster relief this time, I will only pay you." Leo cried out: "How can it be done without profit? There is no motivation without profit, and you are discouraged by the enthusiasm of the businessman." ”
Catherine looked at Leo and said leisurely: "If you dare to ask for profits, I will collect your taxes."
"Huh?" Leo grew up and froze for a minute, then lowered his head and let out a helpless "oh", Leo knew that he and Catherine had never had good fruit to eat. Even a character as powerful as Lorraine, who was yelled at by Catherine, had to be obedient.
Leo muttered in a low voice: "Good men don't fight with women, I'll let you this time." ”
Catherine heard Leo's thoughts, and said angrily: "The future of the empire is yours, whether it is Nedel City or Ruman City, it will all be your stuff in the future, how can there be a reason to earn your own money."
Also, if you let the people know that you, the heir, earn money, what will they say about you.
I just don't let you make money, it's good that I don't let you put money in it. ”
Leo scratched his head and thought for a while, then finally sighed, nodded resignedly, and said, "I see."
Catherine let out a satisfied "um" and said, "Ugly words are ahead, I also know those bends and bends that you and Lorraine made, what kind of hidden profits." Even if there is no profit, you have to give me a guarantee of quality, and if something goes wrong, I will raise your tax rate of 300 percent. ”
Leo said angrily: "I know, don't worry, you have said that the future of the empire is mine, will I dig my own corner? Besides, our Flying Eagle Company has always regarded quality as life, even if I lose money, I will not smash my own signboard. ”
Seeing Leo's categorical words, he looked like a successful entrepreneur making a report, but Catherine was still a little uneasy, because Lorraine and Leo were really bad and had a lot of criminal records, and the two of them had not been cheated for so long.
Although Lorraine and Leo are greedy and want to take advantage of them, Catherine and Adele both know that Lorraine and Leo, a pair of living treasures, must not be completely trusted.
Catherine wrinkled her eyebrows in thought, and then saw Melina sitting next to Leo, and the girl was looking at Leo with a smile on her face.
Catherine's heart lit up, she thought of a way, and said immediately: "Melina."
Melina looked up and said, "What's the matter?" ”
Catherine smiled: "Disaster relief and reconstruction are big things, although it is handed over to Leo, there has to be something." I will leave it to you to supervise the person who will supervise his execution, and you will supervise Leo instead of me, and you must follow him all the time, and don't let him take advantage of any loopholes, which is very important. ”
Leo clenched his fists angrily and protested loudly: "You don't trust me as a success,." o Reputation. ”
Catherine gave Leo a blank look and said, "I just don't believe you, look at the good things you and Lorraine have done." ”
Hearing that she was entrusted with a heavy task, Melina was no longer able to help when everyone was busy, and she was very satisfied, jumped up from the sand, clenched her pink fist, and said solemnly: "Sister Nicole, don't worry, I will definitely be optimistic about Leo, I promise."
Leo looked at Catherine and then at Melina, and secretly screamed in his heart: Oh no, these two women are united, so is there a way to live on their own?
At the moment, I am holding my head and thinking hard about countermeasures.
Looking at Leo's appearance, the two of them slacked straight and said to Angus, "Then let's be all the same, Mingin... "A few officials from the heart are here, and I asked the manager of the Flying Eagle Company to talk to you." I'll also prepare a sum of money for emergency relief expenses for the victims. ”
Angus knew that the matter was almost settled, and he answered the "yes" and bowed slightly and exited the study.
After Angus went out, Adele said "ouch" and lazily lay on the table, one side of her face pressed against the table.
"This costs money, and it costs money," he said. In the past, Lorraine went out to fight to earn money, but now this war is spending money non-stop, and it has only been two months, and more than two million have gone out. The house has been blown up again, and it has to be renovated, and I don't know what Lorraine will say about that?"
That expression is like a girl who complains that her pocket money has been spent.
Catherine was also stunned, thinking that a few months ago, she spent nearly 100,000 gold coins on the net to renovate her house, although Lorraine paid for it happily, but she also lost herself that time, and she would blush when she thought about it.
This time, even the walls were cracked, and the entire floor was blown up. I don't know how much it will take to fix it.
Aunt Cather, like Adele, said pitifully: "It seems that this time we can only use our own private money." ”
When Adele saw it, she was also very distressed: how much silk from Ceris was enough to buy how much perfume from Balins, how many mirrors from Venice, and how much fur from Willy,"
The more she thought about it, the more heartache she felt, she could barely speak, and finally she only said "um" in an inaudible voice.
At this time, everyone in the study heard a crisp and loud cry of "Ang Humm".
When Adele heard the voice, she immediately felt a chill.
She straightened up from the table and asked suspiciously, "What sound?"
Catherine also heard it, this voice was rarely familiar to them, Catherine said: "It seems to be a half-orc war beast, how can there be here?"
The battle is over, and the soldiers who went out to reconnoiter have already reported that there is no more orc army nearby, and they have captured a hundred and ten prisoners, so there is such a possibility that there will be a half-orc war beast in the governor's palace?
It was the crisp sound of "Ang Humm" again, and this time everyone in the study heard it clearly, it was indeed the cry of a war beast of the half-orcs.
Catherine and Adele's hearts tightened, Huo stood up, and shouted in surprise: "Something happened outside?"
Could it be that there is still a hidden enemy? who want to use that huge war beast to do another trick?
At this moment, Leo and Melina glanced at each other.
Leo grinned and shouted happily, "I ordered the sandwich bread and sent it." ”
With that, he picked up Melina, turned around and ran outside.
Catherine and Adele also hurried away from the desk, and the two grabbed their own weapons next to them, and Catherine shouted, "Leo, don't run around." ”
and Adele hurriedly chased Leo out, and when he arrived at the door, he shouted to the Praetorian Guard soldiers guarding outside: "There is a situation, gather people, you follow Leo." ”
The Praetorian Guard soldier pressed the sword at his waist and hurriedly ran after Leo.
This cry also alarmed all the people in the Governor's Palace, and the Praetorian Guards stationed in the Governor's Mansion and the orcs fought for several days in a row, and they were very familiar with this thick-skinned beast.
Catherine and Adele ran downstairs in a few steps, and when they walked into the courtyard, they saw hundreds of Praetorian Guards standing there stunned with weapons in their hands, and in the middle of the crowd of Praetorian Guards, there were crisp and loud shouts one after another.
There seemed to be no danger, and Catherine and Adele breathed a sigh of relief.
Then they heard Leo's "ahaha" laughter from the crowd.
Don't think about it, Leo made it again.
Catherine rolled up her sleeves and said angrily: "This ruffian, after a few minutes of being serious, he made trouble for me again." ”
Adele rubbed her eyebrows, burst out laughing, and whispered to Catherine: "This, son, is really more and more like Lorraine." ”
Catherine and Dale walked inside in a crowd and laughed triumphantly at the sight of Leo standing in front of one of the behemoths.
Melina hugged Leo's arm tightly, leaning on Leo's body, looking at the nearly human-tall beast in front of her with a nervous and excited expression. Catherine's face darkened, and when she walked up to Leo, she knocked on the door of his head, pointed at the beast, and said, "What's going on? ”
Leo grinned and rubbed his head hard. Staring at Catherine and shouting: "Less war beasts, war beasts, it seems that you are very cultured, alas, this animal is called elephants, and it is a unique animal on the grassland." ”
Catherine pinched her fingers, made a clatter, spat out a voice from between her teeth, and said coldly, "It's the other way around." ”
When General Philip saw that the two sisters and brothers were about to fight again, he immediately snorted and said loudly: "What's there to see, I haven't seen enough after a few days of fighting, and they're all gone, so why should I go." ”
The Praetorian Guard soldiers stiffened their faces and quickly turned to leave, for fear that they would be too late to suffer from the disaster of the pond fish.
Leo stiffened his neck and said loudly: "Originally, this animal has a good temper and is very obedient, and they still eat grass? (To be continued)
