"Congressman Watson, welcome to join the Provisional Government of the Semitic Republic. From today on, you are a glorious member of the great Semitic parliamentary system.
I hope that you will continue to contribute more and make greater contributions to the great cause of the Semitic people in the future, hahaha..." Leo sat on his carriage and shouted loudly to the nobleman outside the window... to be precise, it was the former nobleman.
road.
Now as long as it is a Semitic area under the provisional government of the Republic, according to the sacred "Declaration of Human Rights", everyone is equal.
The Semitic people no longer have nobles, but only citizens.
If anyone dares to publicly call himself a nobleman and use badges and symbols that represent noble status, then he is obsessed with the puppet government and has ulterior motives. He will be invited by the CIA to have coffee and be detained for three months at the Bruncher Coal Mine Education Center.
to a few years of civic education.
The man bowed his head and listened respectfully to Chairman Leo's teachings. The expression on his face was extremely serious, but there was unbearable ecstasy in his eyes. He said in a humble tone: "I respectfully respect your teachings.
, you must work hard and live up to adults’ expectations.”
"Well," Leo nodded slightly like a big shot and encouraged: "Do it well."
Then he waved his hand, and the carriage slowly set off, rejoining the flow of people from the Western Expedition Army.
The newly appointed Senator Watson bowed deeply to the carriage and did not stand up straight until more than ten seconds later.
Seeing that the tax police convoy had disappeared into the rolling flow of people, he took a long breath and smiled proudly.
Congressman Watson is about forty years old. He is tall and thin, has slender eyes, a slack-skinned face, and sparse hair on the top of his head. He looks quite like a serious primary school principal.
Although he also has a noble status, his noble status is not comparable to that of Baron Ivan Fox. His status is not high, his property is not much, and he is not good at management, but he likes to study and study, and he is also a famous scholar in the province of Morondo.
There is some familiarity with textual research, literature, and criticism.
However, he has the common problem of all the stinky old people, he thinks very highly of himself and looks down on those fat-minded nobles who only know how to be sensual and sensual.
Moreover, he has high ambitions and low abilities. Generally speaking, he has no money and no ability, so he has never been successful in his career and has been excluded from the periphery of the circle by the nobles.
Originally, he thought that the two hundred acres of land owned by his ancestors would be neither full nor hungry for the rest of his life, but he never expected that his fate would also change once the human army arrived.
At this moment, Watson still felt like he was in a dream. He couldn't even imagine how all of this happened so fast.
Watson sighed as he turned around and returned to his home.
He looked at the appointment certificate with a red ribbon on the table, and couldn't help but reveal a faint smile: Finally... finally he had a day to succeed~!
He paused for a moment, and then shouted angrily: "Honey, I'll add two more dishes today to celebrate."
From the kitchen came the characteristic impatient roar of a middle-aged woman: "Isn't it because someone is looking for you to be a corrupt official?
Do you think I can give you the ability to pee in the sky? I am really blind, marrying a shabby nobleman like you. When have I ever had a good life~!"
Councilor Watson stroked his forehead helplessly and sighed: There is simply no way to reason with this woman~!
When a large group of human soldiers dressed in black came knocking on the door just now, the whole family was trembling with fear. Now that they saw that they were safe, they immediately became energetic and began to roar again.
However, this is not surprising: the war is now in chaos, and there is no telling how long this battle will last? Who will win and who will lose in the end?
As a diligent and thrifty woman, she instinctively chooses to escape.
Therefore, I am a little dissatisfied with my husband becoming an official at this time. What if the undead high priest and dark mage come to kill me again? And humans must have no good intentions.
In addition, although Watson is conceited and talented, he was born at the wrong time. The whole world is drunk and I am alone.
But she has never been able to get ahead, and has not even found a job as a clerk. Therefore, when she speaks, she is extremely sharp-tongued and sarcastic, leaving no room for error.
After hearing her sarcasm, Watson flew into a rage, slammed the table, and shouted loudly: "Women, you know nothing. Do you know who that little fat guy just now is? I'll scare you to death if I tell you."
He paused for a moment and said loudly: "That is Second Master Leo Lei, the famous Wanli Lone Lei Guangguang, the prince of the largest country on the human side, and the boss behind the human coalition."
As he finished speaking, he was very satisfied to hear the sound of a plate breaking from the kitchen, and for the first time, he didn't feel sorry for the plate at all.
Immediately afterwards, a fat woman hurried out from behind like a gust of wind, looked at Watson, and said in surprise: "Are you telling the truth?"
Watson shook his clothes proudly and said, "Of course."
He pointed at the letter of appointment on the table and said: "You were hiding behind it just now and didn't hear it. This was sent by Mr. Lei personally, inviting me to serve as a member of the provincial government. A door-to-door invitation. Do you know how grand this is?"
Do you know how big an official this is?"
The woman lowered her head, looked at the piece of paper blankly, then shook her head and said, "I don't know, how big of an official is this? Is it as big as the Sheriff?"
Her tone couldn't help but be full of expectation,
Although she didn't know what this 'Congressman' was, since it was sent by the famous Lei Er himself, this official designation was not a big deal. As long as he could reach the level of the Sheriff, he would have no worries.
Entering the house without giving any gifts.
"I..." Watson hesitated for a moment, and then said rather exasperatedly: "I don't know either."
The appointment letter didn't mention salary, and he didn't know what kind of official this congressman was.
Seeing the look of disdain in his wife's eyes again, he immediately said hurriedly: "However, Lei Er said that this congressman is in charge of many things, ranging from official corruption to common people throwing chickens.
The power is so great that even the provincial governor has to be polite when meeting him, which makes the legislators unhappy. We can remove the governor from office."
The woman couldn't help but be surprised: The governor of a province also has to be polite? The governor is a prince, just like a king. How big an official does this councilor have to be? Could it be that he has to be on an equal footing with the governor of a province?
The excitement in his eyes flashed a few times.
At this time, Watson continued: "You bastard, let me tell you, the current law allows divorce. Be careful, I will divorce you later and marry a young and beautiful woman."
"You old thing~!" The woman was furious at that moment. She was about to go up and beat Watson, but after raising her hand several times, she finally swallowed her anger and said with a smile: "Okay. Mr. Watson, I
I’m going to cook some vegetables for you.”
But he turned around and cursed in a low voice: "What a bullshit law. What bastard made it? It's really heartless..."
At this time, I heard Watson shouting again: "You'd better hurry up. I'm going to see the Governor later to discuss important government matters."
The woman hesitated for a moment and replied hurriedly: "I know."

Lorraine led his army to sweep across the mainland westward with thunderous momentum.
Artillery opened the way. The ground and air coordinated together, and there was no enemy that could even slightly block the front.
Wherever the army went, it established a new government, attacked the powerful, freed serfs, and distributed land, which immediately won the warm welcome and support of the people.
And for the vast majority of nobles, this is not a bad thing.
Because except for big landowners, very few people own more than 300 acres of land. Even if it is more than 300 acres, it is not too much. For the sake of wealth and life, it is sold.
These people are all small and medium-sized nobles. They account for the vast majority of Semitic nobles, but they are often limited by their status and disdain to serve as low-level officials in the local area. They do not associate with ordinary people.
However, official positions are limited, and the real power of high-ranking officials is not their turn. The vast majority of people just stay at home and live off the land inherited from their ancestors.
Therefore, Lord Luo made a big move - inviting them to serve as government officials.
As long as those nobles and local celebrities who are verified to have no problems can get invitations from Mr. Lei, inviting them to serve as members of the new government.
Once this policy was launched, it was extremely popular with everyone.
When things are fine, they point fingers at government officials and give random orders. And if something goes wrong, they can just walk away without taking any bigger responsibilities.
There are still salaries, benefits, and bonuses. The best thing is that as long as you become a member of the parliament, you will also have quite a few privileges.
Although it can't be compared with when I was a noble. But when I usually drive drunk, run through red lights, park randomly and so on, no one dares to investigate and deal with it.
The High Priest of the Undead collected a tax of 200 million gold coins from Lingshan every year. Once this was announced, it greatly shocked all Semitic people. It also won public support for the Semitic Provisional Government.
Even if you are a die-hard supporter of the high priest, you have to hesitate when you hear this news.
The world is vast, and the High Priest of the Undead is the largest, but the High Priest of the Undead is not as big as gold coins.
After all, the high priest is not your wife. No matter how much you like and love him, when you find that he takes money from his own pocket, and he takes most of your money, you will feel a little uncomfortable.
During the army's attack, in order to calm people's hearts, as long as there is no resistance, under normal circumstances, the positions of government officials are basically unchanged. They just reorganize the government and reorganize the army, leaving some troops to watch them and wait for new ones.
Government reorganization.
This naturally won the welcome of the officials. Although the dynasty has changed, as long as everyone can still be officials, there is nothing unacceptable. Just change the official name.
Although before the arrival of the Lorraine army, everyone was still holding on, saying that they would fight to the end with humanity.
But as soon as the flag of the human army appears on the horizon and the huge shadow of the war fortress is about to fly overhead, these people all wake up and send a bundle of secret police sent by Prime Minister Madolins to the human army.
In the middle, they cried bitterly like lost lambs, changed their banners one after another, and fell into the arms of the great devil.
In just over ten days, Lorraine's army advanced rapidly, as if it had wings, and had captured less than half of Lingshan~!

"Now there is a republic..." Tax Collector Driss squinted at the sky outside the window, then took a deep sip from the wine glass, and then burped.
The high-strength liquor from Feiying Liquor stung his stomach and intestines as if it was on fire, and his whole face was pinched and covered with wrinkles. After a while, he sighed and said: "Water Ka, Wo
Special coffee, good wine, good wine~!”
As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the roasted lamb leg on the table. He took a big bite, then tore off a piece of meat and chewed it in his mouth.
Big drops of grease kept flowing down the corners of my mouth. After a while, my mouth was already covered with shiny oil.
He straightened his neck, swallowed the mutton, took another gulp of strong wine, then picked up a toothpick and picked out the yellow teeth in his mouth.
Then he reached out and pulled out a few shreds of meat from his mouth, looked at them twice, and then stuffed them into his mouth again.
"It's a republic now..." He muttered to himself, staring at the table in front of him for a while, and his mind kept spinning. He was thinking about how to get more money to spend. He had already bought this bottle of wine.
He spent all the coins in his pocket.
As a tax collector in his original place, although he had a lot of salary and more extra money, he also had a lot of money. Like other tax collectors, he was prone to eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling, and all kinds of problems.
Therefore, no matter how much money you get, you can spend it cleanly.
However, for people like them who have the ability, this money is never in short supply. When they have no money, they can just go to the countryside for a walk and have it casually.
So, after taking another sip of wine, Driss shook the half-empty bottle and decided to go for a walk in the countryside.
He put on his hat drunkenly. Then he called two more subordinates, got into the carriage and went out.
After leaving the city gate and walking for more than ten miles, we came to a village.
Along the way, the fields are full of people working the fields. After all, spring is the key to a year.
Originally, this group of ordinary people would not be so hard-working. They had to be whipped by the landlord's housekeeper and nurse.
But now that these lands have been allocated to their own hands, these guys can't help but work hard. Some even built a shack and lived on the land, as if they were afraid that their land would suddenly disappear.
Seeing their appearance, Driss couldn't help but flash a sneer in his eyes: These unscrupulous people really thought that things had changed.
As an old tax collector, he has always insisted that the common people are like sheep. No matter when, no matter how loud the slogans are, these sheep will be slaughtered and their wool will be shaved~!
If you don't kill them, what will the officials eat, drink, and play?
He came to the town and went directly to the mayor's house. He was not polite and said directly to the mayor Batty: "Mayor, although it is a republic now, you still have to pay the tax."
The mayor's heart was filled with excitement when he saw him, but after hearing these words, he grinned even more.
Since the land was now divided, the people were very motivated. For their future life, they dug out some money from their teeth and bought farm tools and the like.
In addition, it is spring now, and every family's tank has bottomed out during this period of drought. At this time, even the common people can't squeeze any oil out of their bones, so naturally they don't have much money to pay.
Tax.
Driss looked at the mayor's blue face, but he smiled secretly in his heart: The more difficult the situation is, the best time for them to go to the countryside to extort money.
At this time, because the common people couldn't pay any money, so as long as they were threatened a few more times, they would all be honest and had to bribe themselves in order to delay paying taxes.
While he was thinking, he winked at the two men next to him.
The two people immediately started shouting and threatening.
"Pay the tax quickly, or we will take you to jail."
"You unscrupulous people are really ignorant. The government has just given you ten acres of land each. Is this how you repay the government?"
"Do you believe I can take back all your land now?"
“Pay the money quickly~!”
"If you dare to resist taxes and refuse to pay them, it is tantamount to rebellion~!"
"The human army's soul-hunting and life-killing thunderbolt lightning guns are not just for free."
"Be careful if you offend Sir Luo, he will send people to use machine guns to kill all of you unruly people~!"
"..."
Under their wild intimidation, the mayor turned pale with fright and said with a smile: "You three adults, don't be angry yet. Sit here for now, drink a cup of tea and eat something. I'll go and talk to you right now."
The people in the town discussed..."
Driss didn't express his position, he just said a faint 'hmm' and sat down in the mayor's seat with his feet on the table.
But the two people next to him still refused to give up and shouted loudly: "You'd better hurry up."
"This is an extremely serious political task."
"If it delays Lord Luo's military plan, your entire village will not be able to afford it."
"If it affects the Western Expedition, you will be the sinners of history."
The mayor had never seen this before. He was just a small village. Why couldn't he collect taxes? He was about to become a criminal in history. He was so frightened that he was sweating profusely. After giving him a dry smile, he hurriedly turned around and left.
go out.
One of the tax collectors asked the other: "Wall, what do you mean by an 'extremely serious political task'?"
Wall bared his teeth and said with a smile: "Actually, I don't know either, but it sounded pretty powerful, so I took it and used it to scare that common man. You didn't look at him, and you were so scared that you almost peed?"
"
At this moment, I heard the mayor shouting outside: "Old woman, hurry up, the tax collectors are here. Kill a few more chickens and take out the good wine I have hidden for ten years."
After listening to his words, the three people in the room looked at each other, and then they all grinned. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support.
