The day after New Year's Day in 1526 was a weekend rest day, and most people could continue to take a day off.

However, the citizens of Vienna and the farmers in the suburbs were pleasantly surprised to find that the normally arrogant civil servants seemed to have become more diligent in the new year. They could be seen singing and shouting in front of various warehouses early in the morning on their holidays.

The shouting figure.

In order to replenish military reserves, Ladislaus took advantage of the autumn harvest to purchase supplies from several northern vassal states that had not fought this year, including Brandenburg and Pomerania. Of course, the most important import sources were Poland and Hungary.

Kingdoms and large countries are ultimately much more resilient than small countries.

Most of the German princes have not yet recovered from last year's uprising, and the Wittelsbach and Witting families are busy fighting among themselves.

Although Austria's vassal, the Imperial City of Nuremberg, was also in difficulty, it still provided 15,000 talegons under pressure from Ladislaus.

In order to handle the procurement work well, civil servants in various departments in Austria were voluntarily given up their New Year's holidays and worked overtime to count grains and oils and put them into storage.

In fact, Ladislaus had planned to use his now rising prestige to torture these civil servants even more severely. However, due to the delay of the foreign caravan, Ladislaus finally left the Christmas holiday to the panicked people.

Civil servants.

Of course, this is still a painful new year for all Viennese civil servants.

"The thirty-ninth car of Pressburg, four hundred and fifty pounds of third-class wheat flour." Although he was in a bad mood, the civil servant's singing ability was quite clear. After all, Ladislaus was less than fifty steps away.

Patrolling from a distance.

A Slovak businessman from Bratislava, later known as Bratislava, became anxious when he heard these words: "I have packed a full 500 kilograms in the car, and I also put an extra ten kilograms. How can I lose less?"

It’s 10%. And how can I be a third-rate fan with such a good product?! Don’t get it wrong.”

While arguing, the businessman took out a small bag and thrust it into the examiner's hand.

"Don't harm me. The Cardinal Archbishop is right there. Do you want me to be transferred to the mountains of Switzerland?" Austria does not have territory in the Black Continent or the New World. The most terrifying area for civil servants in Vienna is Switzerland. In the future,

The world's super-rich countries are still truly backwaters.

In fact, Swiss cities are quite good, and some financial industries known for their secrecy have begun to sprout. What is scary for civil servants is to work in mountain villages.

It's a real chore to patrol a village that only has steep mountain roads. Walking the hunter's trail is a baptism and challenge to the soul.

At this time, Ladislaus was wandering around in the newly arrived grain bags and oil cans under the protection of Margarita. He had already sent two late civil servants to Switzerland early this morning. Although from the perspective of administrative efficiency,

It is said that this newly acquired area should actually mobilize elite soldiers and generals, and should not be used as a place of exile for civil servants, but those barren mountain villages with strong folk customs really have no economic value. These exiled guys can always show Ladislaus

sense of presence.

Of course, if there are civil servants who voluntarily work there for three years, they will get an important record in the evaluation, and they will benefit from promotions throughout their lives.

The supplies shipped today are not many. After all, most businessmen also want to take a break after a busy year during Christmas and New Year, and only a few of the most enterprising businessmen do this business.

Therefore, the inventory and storage work was basically completed before noon.

"Thank you all for giving up your vacation to work today. I want to say that this was an amazing weekend. History will remember that Austria has a voluntary overtime weekend that will go down in history. Please bring lunch and go home." Margarita led.

Then the maids dragged out several pickled pigs and distributed them to the civil servants who were working overtime.

Bacon is an excellent benefit. Some families can eat bacon for several months if one person is given it. In these months, they will remember the goodness of Ladislaus, and the pain of overtime will be remembered in a few weeks.

It will definitely disappear.

Ladislaus, Treasurer Machiavelli and Chancellor Hohenzollern worked together to hand out benefits to the civil servants who lined up.

"Thank you for your hard work. Do you like thigh bones or hindquarters? Hooves? OK, hoofs." Machiavelli's strength has indeed recovered. When he struck down with the ax, the entire pig's trotters were broken off, and then a palace maid quickly packed and delivered them.

Gave it to the guy who likes to eat pig's trotters.

"Why are you here, Mr. Judge Nell?" Although he has not entered the Supreme Court, this gray-haired district judge is highly respected in his position. Although Ladislaus arrested him, it was impossible to arrest him.

Such a prestigious and senior civil servant was brought in by force.

"My assistant told me about this. I think I'm fine on the weekend, not to mention that if I don't come, I'll miss out on such good bacon. I like tongue, is there anything else?" Although salty tongue is delicious,

, but because it is equivalent to several kilograms of pork, not many people choose it. Civil servants also have to support their families, and their tongues can only hold two meals of wine. A few kilograms of meat can make the children happy for a long time.

"Thank you very much. Do you like salty tongues? Haha, there are two more. Niccolò, give me your pig's tongue too." Of course, Ladislaus would pick senior officials who really volunteered to work overtime.

Give them the sought-after parts.

"Okay, are there any more tomorrow? Haha, then I will come again. I also like pig ears."

Although "voluntary overtime weekends" may be false propaganda, civil servants full of patriotic enthusiasm and passion for work do not exist.

Ladislaus cut off the bacon until it was even connected to the bones, which was very incompetent compared to Machiavelli's sharp knife skills. However, the civil servants who were lucky enough to have him cut off the bacon and distribute it were in a good mood, and they obviously didn't mind going back.

Let my wife process it a little more.

Because Ladislaus had not announced that he would come in advance, only a few of the most enlightened middle- and high-level civil servants came to work overtime. Naturally, these people would be more concerned about it in the future.

Although he was "volunteered" to work overtime, the unexpected benefits greatly alleviated the dissatisfaction of the civil servants. Ladislaus knew very clearly that he could not simply use pressure to drive his subordinates.

.

After finishing his work, Ladislaus invited several big businessmen from far away to have dinner with him, and Machiavelli and Chancellor Hohenzollern also accompanied him.

Austria provided a pretty good purchase price, which was the main reason why they sent the supplies at this time. However, this time Austria's warehousing inspection was unexpectedly serious, which made the big businessmen make a lot less than expected. Although

There is nothing to say if it is found out that the goods are shoddy and the goods are short of goods.

However, there is still some room for ambiguity in the classification of products. At the lunch meeting, the businessmen were a little nervous at first, but in the relaxed atmosphere of Ladislaus, they all expressed their feelings to Ladislaus.

Ladislaus couldn't give them more money because of their real or false dissatisfaction, but it was still okay to appease them and show their goodwill.

At any time, what people pursue is not just money, respect is always valuable.

Although politeness cannot be used as money, the toast made by the majestic red archbishop in person still gave several big businessmen a lot of satisfaction. The few percentage points they just lost were covered. After all, they still made a profit on this business.

Got the money.

Ladislaus was doing his best to fill the military and civilian warehouses in Vienna with supplies. Only when the tree holes were full of nuts could the squirrels be sure that they could survive the winter.

The threat of the Ottomans has always been lingering in Ladislaus's mind.

Oded Kessler suddenly appeared in Ladislaus's field of vision. His brows were furrowed and he seemed to be in a bad mood, and he was holding a note.

His hand holding the note was trembling slightly.

"Sir Kessler, why are you here? Didn't you say that His Majesty the Knight of Vision has a special sermon this morning? Is there any bad news?"

"No, Your Highness, this is good news."
