Verse 169 - Non-existent dismount
Morin!
How familiar this unfamiliar name was, Qi Fei inexplicably remembered the dead ghost, and suddenly lost his mind for a moment.
The gods made a big joke at this time.
Chinese know Dao, Americans know Dao, Gemini sisters know Dao, and even Sally knows Dao, Morin is Lin Mo.
But among all of them, Qi Fei was the only one who didn't know what to do.
"Let's go, let's go have dinner first, and then we'll continue to watch when we come back!"
Alchemist Lu Mo also noticed that it was already dark outside.
"Okay, let's go to dinner first!"
The old maker, Merro, stood up and tapped his stiff waist.
"So, Mero Maker, this alchemy device"
Lu Mo looked at the second-order old cultivator with an inquiring gaze.
"It's very interesting, I happened to be free recently, so I took it, the material cost is expected to require 60,000 gold coins, and the labor cost will be charged 50,000 gold coins. ”
Mero nodded at the alchemist Lummer, since this list was introduced to him by the other party, and since the reserve price was quoted, it didn't matter much to him how much of the commission was made.
Therefore, Mero did not shake off the idea of Lu Mo and overstepping his behalf.
Labor costs close to 50% of the total cost are really low (part-time work, half work), and sometimes it is not surprising that alchemists' labor costs account for more than 90%.
Due to the talent and skill threshold of practitioners, the alchemy industry in this world is bound to be an unchangeable seller's market, and the basic pricing power has always been in the hands of alchemists and alchemy merchants.
As a scarce product with limited production, it is inevitable that alchemists will be expensive.
"Very good, Master Merro, I will tell this Mr. Morin. ”
Lu Mo owed a debt with a smile, and alchemists introduced business to each other and drew referral fees as appropriate, which can be regarded as the unspoken rules of the industry.
After finishing speaking, the old maker Mero looked at Qi Fei, his heart suddenly moved, and then said, "Fei." Come with me after dinner to study this alchemy device, well, you should be able to learn something useful, too. ”
Since he had not been an apprentice of Master Mero for a long time, Qi Fei was still learning the basic knowledge of alchemy in this world, how could he not hear the teacher's guidance, and quickly nodded in response: "Yes, Teacher Mero." ”
Envy appeared on the face of the alchemist Lu Mo on the side, just now watching the deduction and calculation of the Mero Maker had already made him gain a lot.
What a blessing it is to be able to receive the careful guidance of the status builders!-
In the "Ogmi" Alchemy Alliance, the Delan City branch did not issue a missing person notice. But at least the Elemental Conversion Device thing has settled.
When Lin Mo returned to his new home on Nuoxiang Street, he found that the reminder of Li Muxin, the sister of the twin stars, was undoubtedly correct, and there was no interruption of people outside the gate of the front yard for a whole day.
Bringing gifts to visit him and his two sisters' new home in Delan City, there were not only the second princes, but also the eldest princess Mo Dai and more than a dozen important ministers of the court, and even the three princes who guarded the northern frontier of the empire and the four princes who led the army to confront the Tessie Empire on the western border of the empire also asked someone to send a generous gift to show their goodwill.
Compared with. The military colleagues who came to congratulate and congratulate Li Muxin and Li Mubing, the two sisters, only accounted for a small number of visitors, and Lin Mo, who was deprived of the identity and glory of the dragon knight, became a sweetheart.
However, Lin Mo and the Li family sisters both knew that a dragon knight who had passed out of breath still retained a noble title. It is simply impossible for capital to attract so much attention from the general trend.
In the final analysis, the reason is that Lin Mo has severed the relationship with the Royal Dragoon Legion, and it is very taboo to openly and blatantly befriend the high-end strategic power of the empire, but it is a good thing to show favor to a warrior who is no longer a dragon knight. That's another story.
In addition to these people, the neighbors in the vicinity also prepared a small gift and a name post, and sent their own housekeepers to deliver it to the door. Welcome Lin Mo and the Gemini sisters to become the new neighbors here.
Yesterday, Lin Mo landed in his front yard from the sky under the escort of a dragon knight, but many people saw this scene with their own eyes, in addition to finding out the identity of this new neighbor, there was also more or less acquaintance.
The piles of gifts could exhaust Dundot and the nine beautiful maids half to death, and just sorting out the gift list was without a pencil, and the originally empty treasury behind the main house was stuffed to the brim, and it was estimated that those gifts were worth at least seventy or eighty thousand gold coins.
The military headquarters of the Silan Empire only gave the Li sisters two days to settle down.
On the fourth day after reporting for duty, the two freshly baked female staff officers of the fourth class came to the "Charge Horn" of the pentagonal fortress where the military headquarters was located early to start the first day's work.
The official positions of the Silan Empire can be divided into the highest first class and the lowest twelfth class according to their ranks.
In fact, the tenth to twelfth grades cannot be counted as officials, but only officials, and belong to the lowest level of executors, that is, they are specifically responsible for basic work such as running errands.
The appointment of officials usually needs to be carried out by full-time officials of the seventh rank or above to accept centralized registration and local recommendation, and only after passing the examination can they be given the status of the lowest twelfth-class officials, which is regarded as half a foot and finally stepping into the public gate, and such personnel power is owned by the four major departments of civil affairs, military administration, law and finance.
Although nepotism and favors are inevitable, there are also supervision and reporting institutions in the four self-contained departments, and black sheep and outfits will also be strictly controlled.
These junior officials, who resembled grassroots civil servants, were active in the imperial capital and various local departments, and were promoted or dismissed from public office according to their abilities and annual evaluations.
Officials of the fifth to ninth ranks were responsible for local work, and they were distributed in various provinces, and were delegated to provincial and ordinary cities according to their rank, while the town-level administrative units were in charge of officials, and the other level of the mayor's status was often that of officials, but not necessarily nobles.
The officials in charge of the work at the local level were also relative to the civil, military, legal and financial affairs, and did not conflict with the rights of the local nobles who owned fiefs, but rather a complementary coexistence relationship, which did not lead to confrontation and fierce conflicts.
The fourth-class official rank of the Li sisters is the bottom line of their official positions in the imperial capital, which is also because they performed quite well in the war of the Eastern Military Region of the empire to repel the Portlanders and played an extremely important role, so they were favored by Lord Adelaide, the Minister of War, and stayed in the military department.
Of course, this aroused the strong dissatisfaction of the boss of the Eastern Military Region, General Bijiao, the Duke of Theron, and the Minister of Military Affairs Adelaide also paid a certain price for this as a pacification to transfer the two sisters from the Eastern Military Region to the imperial capital.
However, after the two sisters reported in the imperial capital, all this has just begun, and whether they can continue to be promoted and reused in the future depends on their actual work ability and achievements.
Intelligence work involves the lifeblood of the empire, not only a matter of trust, but also the work run-in relationship between superiors and subordinates and colleagues, and the appointment of the twin sisters is not the right one, but this arrangement will not affect the two of them to play their own strengths.
The staff officers are responsible for intelligence processing, planning formulation and evaluation, and the fourth-class staff officers of the military department are responsible for the docking work of the five major military regions of the empire, and the staff group that Li Muxin and Li Mubing joined happens to be connected with the Eastern Military Region of the empire, which is also the entry point that they are most familiar with and the easiest to start.
"Staff Officer 'Heart', Staff Officer 'Bing', I am the leader of the Eastern Group, Third Class Staff Officer Foss, and welcome the two of you to officially join our Eastern Group. ”
A civilian officer wearing gold-rimmed monocles and 14 staff officers gave a warm welcome to the two sisters.
"Hello, Master Foss!"
The two sisters saluted each other as if they were one and the same, as they looked at the extremely spacious office space of the staff group and the colleagues with warm smiles.
According to past experience, newcomers often have a meal before they are accepted by the old group.
The twin sisters are an alternative pair, and the third-class staff officer Foss and all the staff officers of the former eastern group are now sincerely welcoming the two black-haired and black-eyed girls to join, and they have no intention of selling their qualifications.
In fact, before the two sisters arrived at the military headquarters to report for duty, this disintegration had already begun, but it fell on all the staff officers of the eastern group.
The situation is stronger than people, and the twin sisters will not come again, I am afraid that the staff officers of the Eastern Group of the Imperial Capital Military Headquarters will be seriously out of touch with the Eastern Military Region of the Empire.
It is hard to imagine that the two young girls have single-handedly made the docking work of the Eastern Military Region more difficult, but instead gave these veteran staff officers a neat and neat dismissal.
No matter how hard they racked their brains and even tried their best, these staff officers in the imperial capital who thought they were experienced could not keep up with the changes in the way they worked in the Eastern Military Region, and they almost had a terrible feeling that they were about to get out of control, and they found that they could no longer adapt to the work at hand.
While the command and combat efficiency of the Eastern Military Region have improved linearly, Li Muxin and Li Mubing have easily controlled the rhythm of the war, but the military work processes and methods from another world have also brought great trouble to the staff officers of the Imperial Military Department.
Either keep up or be eliminated, although the internal personnel power is exercised by the military department itself, it does not mean that these old staff officers can continue to eat and wait for death, the minister of military affairs must report the war zone in a timely and accurate manner, and His Majesty the emperor also needs to know what the battle situation is on the eastern front of the Dao, which is not something that can be easily fooled.
The bell still needs to be tied to the bell, and the two initiators of "Heart" and "Bing" joined the eastern group, which made the whole group breathe a sigh of relief, as for suppressing newcomers or something, it is something that no one dares to think of.
Seeing the neat attitude and reaction of these staff officers, the faint smiles on the faces of the Li family sisters, who are well versed in people's hearts, became more and more calm.
