After hearing what the young officer said, Leo was stunned for a moment. He raised his head and looked at him with his domineering little nose. Then, he slapped his little chest heavily with his white and fat little hands.
, said proudly: "Then study is good? So what?"
He paused for a moment, then put his hands on his fat little bucket waist and said: "Although I have a headache after reading the book, apart from calculating money, I can only do additions within ten, let alone subtraction.
I have to do multiplication and division. And I keep hitting the teacher, skipping classes, plagiarizing, speed racing..."
If Archduke Julius and other parents were in front of him and found that Leo was so sensible, so aware of his own shortcomings, even with the cold temperament of that bloody-handed butcher, they might be moved to tears, and then sigh: Empire
There is hope for the future.
Leo kept talking about his shortcomings for a long time, then he took a long breath, and then said loudly and proudly: "But I have a good father~!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the waiting room looked at each other and became quiet and stopped talking.
People who can sneak into the capital of the empire to do things like begging grandpa and grandma and withdrawing money may not have a deep background or high official rank, but these people are all old fritters with sharp eyes and alcoholic test.
Everyone knows that a person who can confidently say such shameless words, even if he is an innocent child, has a shameless level of up to level 80, and can instantly kill all kinds of little monsters and monsters.
NPCs are not something that ordinary people can deal with.
When the young officer heard that Leo actually said such shameless words, his cheeks turned red with anger and he said, "I have been a top student every year from elementary school to graduation."
Leo blinked and said, "I have a good father."
The young officer said: "I have practiced hard since I was a child, braved the wind and snow, and was not afraid of hardships, so I have developed my martial arts skills."
Leo said: "I have a good father."
The young officer said: "In Trier City, my combat skills were outstanding and my bravery was unparalleled."
Leo said: "I have a good father~!"
The young officer stepped forward and said loudly: "I ate and lived with the soldiers, fought together, and shared the joys and sorrows. This is how I won their respect and became one with them."
Leo tilted his head, as if he was wondering why the young officer was angry, but he also seemed to deliberately want to make him angry, and said, "I have a good father."
The officer's eyes were so angry that he almost burst out with fire, and said in a trembling voice: "I...I...I have been the first in Trier City's officer assessment for three consecutive years."
Leo picked his ears and said, "I have a good father."
The officer was so angry that his whole body trembled. He pointed angrily at Leo and shouted: "You...you...you...you...the empire is full of people like you who rely on their fathers."
Taking care of people climbing up, so they become more and more decadent..."
Leo was furious immediately.
He looked at the epaulettes on his shoulders, then put his hands on his hips and said: "Boy, be careful what you say. My military rank is higher than yours. I am only a major, but you dare to run in front of me and stab me."
?Although I am young, I have accumulated many military exploits and am now a lieutenant colonel. Do you know that the rank of senior official is overwhelming?"
After finishing speaking, he took out his military rank badge from his pocket, held it in his hand, and waved it at the man. Then he continued in a demonstrative manner: "If you blow up the assassin again, young master, I will learn how to do it."
Bad guy, show your official power and ask you to empty the toilet and clean my boots~!"
The young officer looked at his military rank and took a step back in surprise. But then he realized that he was working so hard, but he was only a major. Looking at this man, he looked like he was uneducated and unskilled.
The unweaned fart saluted, his face flushed with anger, and the brown hair on his head stood up one by one, almost smoking from the top of his head.
Lorraine looked at it, smiled immediately, then stepped forward, raised his hand to the old general, gave a slight salute, and then introduced: "I am Count Lorraine, and this is His Highness Leo,
May I ask who you are?"
The room suddenly became quiet. Everyone held their breath and looked at the two of them, as if they couldn't believe their eyes.
After a while, everyone reacted.
Now the waiting room was abuzz.
His Majesty Emperor Julunde, Prime Minister Russell and others were considering cultivating successors to the empire. The Imperial Propaganda Department spread Leo's glorious deeds throughout the entire empire after a certain degree of artistic processing.
For example, he no longer leaves his name behind when he does good deeds. He helps the old lady cross the road every day, and gives every coin he picks up to the city guard. He even makes up a song to praise this man who represents the future of the Ruman Empire, which is full of light and hope.
Young father-in-law.
All he had to do was hang his portrait together with the famous portrait of His Majesty the Emperor in equestrian uniform, so that everyone could ask for instructions in the morning and report to him in the evening.
The Count of Lorraine is also the hottest topic in Rumain City recently. His reputation has spread throughout the entire land through the mouths of the Almohads.
Everyone knows that despite his young age, this lord is very skilled in scraping the earth. It can be said that the sky is three feet high and the earth is seven times thin. The palace of Lord Hades was exposed even when he scraped the earth.
Some people even wrote many gorgeous poems to praise this lordship, such as "swallow's mouth grabs mud", "gold is scratched on the face of the statue", "fur is peeled off the body of ants" and so on. It shows that Lorraine
Sir Alex has a great spirit of diligence, thrift, hard work and simplicity.
But at the same time, everyone also knows how powerful this prince is.
Not to mention, he is still the youngest governor of the empire. Although the province is a little poorer, the folk customs are a little more fierce, the people are a little more fierce, and there are more orcs outside... But no matter what, he is now
After all, he is the governor of the empire~!
Everyone in the waiting room quickly stood up, saluted Leo and Lorraine, and said one after another: "Your Highness, I have met the Governor."
The young officer was also dumbfounded at that time, and stood there at a loss.
The old general who came with him next to him stood up. After saluting Leo, he said to Lorraine embarrassedly: "The deputy commander of Lower Trier City, Kru and Linde, has such a reckless temper. It's my fault that I didn't discipline him properly."
, please forgive me. Don’t get along with this young man."
Lorraine nodded to General Crewe, and then said: "Is he your adjutant?"
"Yes, sir." General Crewe replied respectfully.
Lorraine smiled and said: "A very good young man."
General Crewe was stunned and said: "Sir?"
Lorraine smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have no other intentions."
He paused, glanced at the young officer with admiration, and said: "Full of passion, this is what the youth of the empire should be like."
The young officer also understood at this time, and immediately bowed to him and said: "I have met you, sir. Just now I..."
Lorraine looked at it and couldn't help but smile to herself: In terms of actual age, she was not much older than the young officer, but even when she praised him, she still looked old-fashioned.
It’s true as the ‘First Law of the Office’ says – the bigger the official, the more he knows~!
Lorraine thought of this and said: "It's okay, Leo is a little naughty, don't take it to heart."
The man didn't even dare to say that.
Lorraine didn't say much, said hello to everyone, then stretched out his hand to pull Leo and said: "Okay, don't be embarrassed here, come in with me."
Leo felt extremely bored when he saw everyone looking respectful and flattering. He immediately agreed and followed Lorraine obediently.
The two of them followed the secretary, left the waiting room, and walked forward along the corridor.
Lorraine looked around and saw no one around, and whispered to Leo: "Don't let your sister know what happened today. If she knew you were acting like a gangster outside, it wouldn't be as simple as a beating. I would have to suffer too."
If you get involved, please keep it secret when you go back."
Leo waved his little hand nonchalantly and said: "Okay, I got it. Got it. Do you think I'm a pervert? Are you looking for a beating after I'm full?"
Lorraine couldn't help but hesitated. He looked at the little boy with pink makeup and thought secretly in his heart: Do you think you are not a pervert? You have been controlled by Catherine all day, and you haven't escaped from the clutches yet.
I have found a strong girlfriend who is said to be the fifth gentlest person in the world. If you are not a pervert, what are you?
But what a scumbag of a hooligan Sir Luo is. In order to see Leo's jokes in the future, Leo only needs to be right a little bit to make the iron-blooded emperor understand. He did not say it out loud. He never said it.
Didn't say it out loud.
The secretary opened the door and led Lorraine and Leo into Baron Rocund's office.
Baron Rocund happened to be talking to a few people across from him. When they saw Lorraine and Leo coming in, Baron Rocund and others quickly stood up, bowed slightly to Leo, and bent down to greet him.
Seeing that they had something important to discuss, those few people bowed and hurried out.
Baron Roquand looked at him and said, "Your Highness, why are you here too?"
Leo waved his hands and said, "I just came to take a look. You said what you said."
As he said that, he ran to the side, crouched, sat down on the table that was serving guests, and then rummaged around in the fruit bowl next to him, peeling bananas, nibbling apples, and eating the juice.
Splashing everywhere, it’s a joy.
Lorraine also smiled and said to Baron Roquande: "Hello, Baron."
Baron Roquand gestured to Lorraine and said: "Sit down~!"
Baron Roquand waited for Lorraine to sit down across from him, took out a document from the desk, handed it over, and then said: "Okay, the director-general and I have already discussed it. Without you having to trouble, the appropriation will be made from
Let’s deduct it directly from the taxes Nai’an pays every year, so as not to waste public funds and time by going back and forth.”
Lorraine was stunned and thought that this was a great thing. It not only made it easier to walk in and do things, but also saved the need to run around in the relevant departments.
Lorraine took the document, flipped through it, and then said with a smile: "I won't be polite to you, uncle."
Baron Rocund said helplessly: "You have also seen those people outside. Every year when the tax settlement period comes, they are like this. They cry and shout all day long, saying that they are missing this and that. They stretch out their hands.
It's eight feet long, and they all cost money. It seems like they will starve to death in the next minute. But as long as you take the money, just watch~!
As soon as they turn around, they go to a brothel, drink wine, buy a nice car, keep a mistress, build a villa and become corrupt. I hope you won't do this.
Once the Imperial Supervision Department investigates, don’t say I didn’t warn you~!”
Lorraine could only smile dryly.
Leo said on the side: "What's the matter? Have they given gifts? Are they heavy? You can just accept the gifts and kick them out. As long as you do it twice, you will be sure that no one will give them again.
You gave me a gift."
Baron Roquande was startled and wanted to explain it to the child seriously, but then he thought about it, he was still young and he didn't understand even if he told him. There was no need to argue with him. He burst into laughter immediately.
Said: "Then I will do this according to His Highness's order. By the way, Lorraine, are you ready for everything before taking office?"
Lorraine thought about it with her fingers and said, "That's almost it. I've covered all the places I should run here. I'll be free soon."
Baron Rocund said: "Okay, then I will just wait for you to come."
"must."
Lorraine and Leo were about to say goodbye and leave. Baron Roquand sent the two of them to the door of the office. People in the waiting room hurriedly got up and saluted, and at the same time they all wailed in their hearts. Having a good father is indeed better than anything else.
Strong.
Lorraine and Leo returned to the Grand Duke's Mansion, and the entire family stayed in the lounge.
Seeing the two of them coming in, Catherine looked up and asked: "Is the matter done? Nothing went wrong?"
Lorraine just shook his head and said nothing happened. Leo said loudly: "Of course it's done. With me here, nothing can go wrong."
Catherine said: "I'm scared only if you take action."
Leo snorted and jumped to Melina's side. The two of them secretly didn't know what to say.
Lorraine asked: "Are everything ready? When can we set off?"
Catherine said: "It's probably 7788, but you don't have to worry. Many people have received appointments and haven't set off for two months. Your Majesty has never said anything?"
Luo Linqi asked: "Why didn't you take office for two months?"
Catherine shrugged and said: "We've collected the money. The appointments of officials in a province are all in the hands of the governor. There are always more people waiting to be officials than there are official positions. There are ways to go. Those people don't care about spending money. They can still plunder in the end anyway."
return."
Lorraine said in confusion: "Why didn't you come to join me? What's the price of an official position now?"
Adele giggled next to her and said: "You silly guy, that blind guy dares to bribe the eldest princess, aren't you going to jail yourself?"
Lorraine slapped her forehead and thought that she had forgotten about this.
Catherine glanced at Lorraine and said angrily: "What? Do you want to sell a few of them too?"
Lorraine quickly expressed her innocence and said: "How could it be? We are not short of money. I just want to understand the current market situation. The more lucrative the position, the higher the price. Can I prevent them from committing crimes in advance?"
Leo shouted: "I know this, I know."
Everyone in the room looked at Leo in surprise.
Leo lowered his head and took out his small notepad again, opened a few pages and said: "Well, the tax officer is directly under the tax officer, so I won't talk about that. In fact, this position has the most oil and grease. Alas, it's a pity."
Leo was startled when he looked up and saw a room full of people staring at him.
Milena sighed, sat up from Leo, and sat next to Adele.
Leo felt good about himself and said: "Okay, okay, I know you all admire me, so there's no need to show it, hahahaha."
Lorraine shook her head and sighed.
Catherine grabbed the pillow in her hand, threw it at Leo, and yelled angrily: "Here you are, you big-headed idiot, come here, are you the one who wants to tear down your own walls like this?"
Seeing that Catherine was angry, Leo sneaked behind Lorraine, stuck out his head and flattered Catherine and said, "I'm not just trying to find out in advance, I can also prevent them from committing crimes."
Adele, Lorena, Melina and others looked at the pair of teachers and students, shook their heads and sighed.
Lorraine took Leo away from him and asked him: "If you know it, let's talk about it carefully. This will be very useful for us to understand the importance of the various subordinates. After all, there is no way to prevent those guys from taking advantage of loopholes and exploiting corners."
Yes, we have to take the initiative."
Leo's expression changed, and he looked at Catherine seriously and said, "That's right. This is a serious matter. I'd like to hit someone whenever I see you. It's not mature at all."
"I'm not mature enough to show you today." Catherine snorted coldly, then she slapped the armrest and was about to jump up to deal with Leo, but Lorraine quickly held her down.
Leo turned his nose upward, snorted in victory, and continued: "These are the latest quotes that I have obtained from various places, and there is a dedicated person responsible for updating them in real time, which is very authoritative.
Below the governor, the most valuable person is the public works officer, who is in charge of land acquisition, development and all infrastructure construction. There is a lot of money to be made from it. You all know this.
Then there is the financial officer. Needless to say, this one is cheaper, about 120,000 yuan in five years, and it can be negotiated depending on the size of the province.
Next, there are the warehouse officers who are in charge of the storage and distribution of public supplies. These guys have always been called royal rats. They deliberately destroy inventory and resell supplies on the black market. These are their usual methods of making money and tearing down corners of the empire.
The most disgusting thing is that if I catch him, I will definitely get rid of him. The price of this position is between 80,000 and 100,000.
Then there are the housing administrators and grain depot officials, which are probably within 50,000.
There are also some small official positions among the officials in the Governor's Mansion, ranging from 8,000 to 10,000 yuan. Oh, by the way, the position of president of the Royal Mages Association in each province is also worth 20,000 to 30,000 yuan."
Luolina interjected and asked: "Wait a minute, why are the mages doing this too? Isn't it embarrassing?"
Leo looked like he was a good teacher and explained to Lorena: "The local Royal Mage Association has tens of thousands of allocations every year, and those guys who have been junior mages all their lives just eat from this.
"
Lorraine listened to Leo's introduction and felt that something was wrong. The governors of the Ruman Empire were not outstanding people. Since these people spent money to buy officials, they naturally wanted to make them back several times or dozens of times in office, so they would do it directly.
It is common for locals to become angry and resentful, and even an uprising to break out.
As for dealing with the common situation of government forcing people to rebel, the Russian tsarina Catherine had a very simple and effective way.
