2365 The Emperor's Sword (4)

At noon, the May sun is not hot, and Imperial Kyoto, which is close to the sea, is even more refreshing and refreshing.

Tyrnarant wore a black administrative uniform embroidered with a green ring, and walked steadily into the hall of the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs, there were not many people in the hall, the sunlight filtered in through the windows, falling on the ground to form patches, and several people wearing administrative uniforms sat on other seats, chatting very leisurely about what had happened in the empire recently, "I am the political officer from the Salandweco Provincial Region, Tillonte, I am ordered to report for duty!"

Tirnarant reported his name and asked at the reception desk about the time of the afternoon meeting. This is Tirnarant's new name, just last year, he has been promoted from the administrative officer of Tiha Port in the Nord region to the administrative officer of the northern province of Saland, and with the acquiescence of the fat man, he has restored the surname Tir from the new, but he can no longer call the original name, for Tirnarant, who has already died once, this is already very good, this time he was ordered to report to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the specific content is not clear

Tirnarant saw one of the people chatting, turned his head curiously, glanced at the green ring on Tirnarant's body, and saw that the other party turned out to be the four green rings at the provincial level, his face showed a second of astonishment, but soon turned his head and continued to talk to his companion, this is the Ministry of the Interior of the Empire, the most uncommon is the administrative officer, the empire is expanding rapidly, in five years, the expansion has increased three to four times, and the number of imperial provinces has exceeded a hundred, even if it is a provincial administrative officer here, it is not very rare. "Your Excellency Tillonte, Vice-Minister Burke and you will meet at four o'clock in the afternoon, or go to the dining room and wait first." The attendant at the reception desk had already consulted the roster, and pointed out to him the location of the restaurant with a respectful expression, and also said, "Although the tea is not rich, it is delicious, and the cooks are personally selected by Her Royal Highness the Princess, so that your Excellency can properly reduce some fatigue after coming from afar." Please remind me when the time is up!"

Hearing that it was still early for the meeting, Tirnaland nodded a little. Coming from the restaurant of the Ministry of Internal Affairs not far away, he chose a seat by the window to sit down, and he came immediately as soon as he got off the boat, and sure enough, it was a little early. My heart is looking forward to this meeting. This Deputy Minister of Burke is the person in charge of personnel transfer in the Ministry of the Interior, and he was only promoted once last year, and this year it should not be so fast! There are only a dozen people in the restaurant, and it seems that they have come too early like himself, but these people look at him very strangely, and a few of them are sitting together, and they are still pointing, which makes Tirnarante a little displeased

Tilnarant asked for a glass of wine. Stir gently with your hands, no longer caring about the eyes of those people. I looked out the window, in the north of the Obaro continent in May, the winter snow has melted, it is the warmest, sleepy climate, the golden sun is floating on the blue stone platform, the blue vines climb the eaves of the street, the slightest breeze blows through the wind chimes hanging at the door of the shops, alarming the sleepy air, under the sun, in the northwest corner of the huge city, there is a huge harbor, like a pale golden causeway, with a shaking cursor on the horizon,

Tyrnarant, who had been in the southern port of Nord for three years, knew that it was the reflection of the metal wind on the top mast of the large merchant ships of the Empire, and said that the Empire's maritime trade in Obaro had far exceeded that of the empire itself, and he didn't believe it at first, but this time when he entered the port of Dijing, a white sail in front of him stretched for more than ten miles like the sea, and there was no end in sight, which still shocked Tyrnarant, thinking that he had to take a ship for half a month to arrive here from the empire mainland, Tynarant had a trance

When has the empire grown to such a huge size, and what he has seen is only a tip of this huge empire, so how big is the territory of the empire?" "Hello, I'm Phipson from the Hawa region in northern Gangfei, I don't know if I can sit down?" A loud voice sounded, and Tirnerant realized that among the people who were talking just now, the middle-aged man who had glanced at him walked over with a wine glass, "Of course, I'm from ......" Tirnarant stood up Your Excellency Tirlonte from the Weike Province in the north of Salander, I just heard that!" The middle-aged administrative officer smiled at the corner of his mouth, with a distinct Salander accent in his tone, "Your Excellency is also from the Salander region?" Tilnarant was slightly surprised, he didn't remember that there were other colleagues from the Salander region coming together this time, "Me? Yes, it was, it's no longer due to some special reasons" The middle-aged administrative officer's face was a little strange, and his hearty smile revealed a hint of military flavor, "Just not from the North? Ternarante's eyes lit up, he had heard that the Gangfei Northern Army was only established last year, and before he had time to set up a political officer, he happened to collide with a large-scale invasion war of hundreds of thousands of Central European Baro, although in the end the empire took advantage of this to break the Central European Baro Alliance, but the area that had been fought was almost a blank, and as a last resort, the Ministry of Internal Affairs temporarily selected officers from within the Gangfei Army to serve as regional political officers, and the so-called government affairs were still in the most basic stage of road construction and leveling.

Some of the soldiers are said to have been born in the Salander Expeditionary Force, which made a lot of trouble back then, and the middle-aged man in front of him is likely to be such a background, no wonder, the other party's expression will be so strange, because the expeditionary force is defined as a rebel by the empire, so the imperial officers who were born in the expeditionary force at the beginning avoided that they were Salander people, this mentality does not matter about betraying their own race, but making changes for their own development, the fact that the empire rules Salander has been accepted by most Salander people, "You know?"

The middle-aged political officer who called himself Phipson smiled awkwardly, took a sip of the wine in his hand, looked at Tirnarant, and said with a wry smile, "It's rare to see the political officer from Salander, so I came over to ask about the current situation in Salander, I didn't want to cause trouble for Your Excellency, if there is anything inconvenient, I will leave immediately, it's really rude!"

"Then how can it be, everyone is a political officer, and proper communication can have better development!"

After a few years of grinding, the water chestnut of the head of the Tyre family has already smoothed a lot. The corners of Tirnarant's mouth smiled slightly, he had been in the country for a long time, and he didn't know the situation on the Obaro side at all. Just to understand something, he said calmly, "Salander's current situation is still very good, there is no war, the empire's taxes are not high, the coastal areas have opened ports, there will be no starvation where there is trade, and Princess Nia is very friendly to civilians." The north is stable, and I dare not say that life is very good, at least much better than during the war! Why do they look at me so strangely?" "It's nothing, it's just that it's rare to see a government official in the Empire, so ...... Haha!" Phipson grinned at the corners of his mouth

"How would they know I'm a native magistrate?" said Tirnarante, whose face was confused, and he signed up at the reception area. Is it going to be known to everyone so soon?" This is the uniform of the Empire's native political officials three years ago, and this year's new uniforms have all been canceled arrow sleeves!" Phipson gave him a look of certainty and continued in a slow voice, "Just as when the Empire first began to conquer Obarro, the local magistrates looked down on the Obaro Governors and thought they were pioneers, and now some of the Aubaro Governors look down on the Empire's native magistrates" "Oh? Why" Tynarante looked surprised. He has always been in the empire, and everyone is a native political officer. I really didn't notice that

"The local government officials of the empire, in their mouths called "turtles" Phipson's voice paused, and said indifferently, "According to them, turtles will not understand the empire's crisscrossing in the Obaro region, and they will not understand the greatness of the empire's conquest wars."

"You know, the empire itself has been pacified, and the administrative officials are in charge of regional government affairs, development, agriculture, etc., and they are the defenders of the empire, and they are not big in terms of power" Phipson looked around, lowered his voice and said, "And in Obarro, most of the administrative officers are half soldiers, and the political officials have a certain regional army, they are the conquerors of the occupied territory, and they are the swords and swords of the empire, how can the spirit of the two sides be the same, if the local administrative officials of the empire are guard dogs, they are the wolves guarding the spoils of war"" Do you know what the reason for this meeting is?" Phipson was from the Second Legion, and obviously knew some inside information in advance, "It should be about personnel transfers!" Tynarant hesitated and said, "You're only half right?" Phipson shrugged his shoulders and said with a sparkling gaze The empire is about to conquer Fessan, I heard that it has reached the eastern coast of the inland sea, in the north, beyond the long wall, and in a winter it has expanded out for thousands of miles, how big the empire is now, even we government officials may not be able to explain clearly, because many places are still occupied by the army, and the government officials will wait until the second wave after the war subsides" "There is an internal source that this time the Ministry of the Interior has transferred 150 administrative officers from the 100 provinces of the empire, which is to agree to give these new Pingding areas" "One hundred and fifty people! there are so many!" Tyrnaland's inner excitement was swept away, and he thought that there might be another promotion, it seemed that there was a greater possibility of transfer, "Among the hundred and fifty people, there should be half left!" Phipson asked the restaurant waiter for another steak, and he seemed to have a good appetite, "I heard that there are eight gaps in the province alone, and there are seventy or eighty at the regional level, of course, there is a difference in fatness"" The area near the northern wall is naturally the most barren area, most of them are just opened up of the wilderness, and the population is not large, the area in the south of the empire is the best, and the area near the coast is the best, the entire northern part of the inland sea is the control area of the empire, and the prosperous maritime trade drives the vigorous development of the entire coastline, and these areas are much easier to develop, and the population and resources will naturally be concentrated. Your Excellency is from Salander, and it is most likely to be placed in the south!"

Phipson blinked his eyes, and said a little mysteriously, "And I heard that among the locations released this time, there is also the province of the southern Lisbento region, which is the richest place in the empire, and the person who goes must be the henchmen of His Majesty the Emperor, so everyone is looking forward to seeing who can get the emperor's trust so much!"

"Lisbonto!"

Tirnarant was already a little shocked, even if he was on Imperial soil. For the largest trading seaport in the south of the empire, it is also thunderous, and I heard that the tax revenue of one area of Lisbonto is enough to feed the imperial army of half a million. What is that concept...... And the last person in charge of the Lisbanto region was the military general Varisian, who had been promoted to the governor of the Phessan region, and the Vicchia Falcon wanted to let himself go to Lisbonto? Only then did he whisper, "The emperor has entered the northern wall, and our boss, that is, Miss Bellant Bonnie, the commander of the second legion, is not the second. I heard that the emperor's return to Beijing this time was to prepare for negotiations with the six southern countries!"

"Six Nations Negotiation!" took a sip of the red wine in the glass, and Tirnarant's heart was really like 10,000 horses trampling past, from the heart. Gone is his own grudge against the Falcon of Vechia. The Vekia Falcon did not retaliate against the Tyre family after occupying Tyre, the two sides were not undying enemies, although there was a little jealousy, but Tirnarant had to admit that compared to the Vekia Falcon, the gap was as big as the distance between the torch and the sun

The war with the Falcon of Vekia now seems like a joke, and his biggest concern is to cheer up the Tyre family. It's just a matter of winning a southern guardian of Vekia in troubled times, and then see what the Falcon of Vikia has done. The Unification War of Vecchia, the Unification War of Iscava and now the War of Conquest against the whole of Obaro,

Although people have been staying in the empire itself, Tirnarant still knows the scale of some imperial conquest wars, hundreds of thousands of general battles, the empire has launched no less than ten times in a few years, and there are even millions of troops, millions of troops have been swept away by the Vekia Falcon, the two empires have been defeated, and now they are casually suppressing the six countries to ask for negotiations, although I don't know which six countries, but it sounds quite weighty, compared to it, a small Tyr of his own, what is it!

At this time, the door of the restaurant was pushed open, and a middle-aged man dressed in the costume of an official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs walked in with a panicked expression, his hair was a little bald, and his face was ruddy and shiny, and the whole restaurant suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on this middle-aged man, but this middle-aged man's eyes fell on Tirnarant, and he hurriedly walked over and asked, "Is it Lord Tirlonte?"

"Yes, I'm Tillonte!" Tirnarant looked at the middle-aged man in confusion and nodded, the silence around him indicating that the middle-aged man should be an official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs

"Well, isn't the meeting with Deputy Secretary Burke scheduled for four o'clock in the afternoon?" Tilnarant, thinking that the other party might be the lieutenant of the big man in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, straightened his collar and glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, at 1:40 p.m., the red arrow on the pendulum stubbornly reminded the time, this time...... Did the undersecretary Burke want to see him? and Phipson, who was opposite him, also stood up at this time, with a nervous expression on his face, and was tearing off the napkin in a panic, and the middle-aged man's gaze swept like a knife, completely ignoring him

"Undersecretary Burke's meeting?

The middle-aged man's eyes under his eyebrows had an indescribable luster, which seemed to be a little surprised and shocked, and even made Ternarant feel flattering, the middle-aged man took out a document from his arms, handed it to Ternarant, and said with a very kind smile on his face

"The meeting has been cancelled, this is a new appointment given to you by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the carriage is ready, don't delay, let's go immediately!" The restaurant was full of the sound of broken glass, who had ever seen Deputy Chief Burke, who had always had a cold face and was known as an iron-faced ruthless, could still have such a kind smile "God, this dream is too terrifying, let's wake up immediately!" Phipson next to him looked stupid, and his fingers pinched his thighs fiercely

Tirnerant was inexplicably sent into the carriage, sitting in the speeding carriage towards the north gate of the imperial capital, Tirnarant opened the appointment letter in his hand, his eyes swept over, and he suddenly felt dizzy, and the most unlikely name was written on it, Lisbento, it turned out to be the regional administrative officer of Lisbento! Why! Tirnarant still wanted to ask in his heart, just by virtue of his unclear relationship with the Vekia Falcon, it was absolutely impossible to get such an important position, was the Vekia Falcon crazy, or was he crazy?

At the north gate of Dijing, the tall city gate, the carriage finally stopped, and a person pulled the car door and walked in and sat opposite Tirnarante, stretching his waist without hesitation, the whole person was like a hibernating bear curled up on the leather sofa "I'm really tired, if there's any problem, just wait for me to wake up."

'Why did you appoint me?'

Tirnarant looked at this uninvited guest, his eyes were full of blood, and he knew that this guy must have a conspiracy, "I didn't answer anything, it's really a lot to talk about taking you on a ride to the south!" The fat man on the opposite side shrugged his shoulders and lay on the sofa regardless of it,

The news that the emperor was going back to Beijing came back yesterday, and many people thought that the emperor had just entered the northern wall, but no one thought that the emperor had already arrived in the imperial capital, and he also took a shower and changed into comfortable clothes.

It's really because the emperor's side is covering up too well, this morning, Princess Mao Monazing, who is in charge of the internal affairs of the empire, personally took the crown prince to the northern long wall, Princess Ruierdian and Princess Nord also rushed to hurry, and even the emperor's lover Berant Bonnie also went, who dares to say that the emperor is not in the direction of the long wall (to be continued......
