Faced with the common occurrence of every empire such as the government forcing the people to rebel, the Russian tsarina Catherine had a very simple and effective way - wherever a peasant uprising occurs, the first thing to do is:
That is to first hang all the governors and local high-ranking officials, and then send troops over to carry out a bloody suppression of the rebels~!
This simple, practical, and highly maneuverable method has actually been used in the Ruman Empire. However, Lorraine has not heard of the unlucky guy who was hanged in recent decades.
Moreover, since Russell came to power, he has become more and more strict in local supervision. He wielded the butcher knife in his hand and cut down many corrupt officials, but no governor was dismissed for selling his official position.
Everyone in the room, except Lorraine, was stunned by Leo's talk, and listened to Leo's investigation report in stunned silence.
Lorraine suddenly realized that if the little ruffian continued to act nonsense, maybe he would really become a great politician in a few years. He couldn't help but feel a bit bitter in his mouth.
He calmed down, then stretched out his hand to grab Leo, and asked in a harsh voice: "Where did you get this quotation from?"
"Oh?" Leo raised his head and replied nonchalantly: "I got this from the guards in the palace and the small advertisement in front of the Prime Minister's Office. I guarantee it is first-hand information. It took a lot of money.
What about your skills~!”
Lorraine, Catherine, and Adele looked at each other, and then everyone in the room laughed at the same time.
Adele held her belly and huddled on the chair. She laughed so hard that she rolled back and forth on the chair. She was so charming. Catherine smiled while rubbing her forehead and said: "I mean, I have been managing the place for a few years. I didn't expect him to suddenly
When you dance this, it even scares me."
Leo looked at Lorraine and the others and felt very angry. He stamped his feet and shouted angrily: "Why are you laughing? If you laugh again, I will be angry~!"
Lorraine looked at Leo's serious look, smiled and patted his head, and said: "Okay, next time don't listen to the nonsense of those big bosses in the palace. I told you that the emperor used a golden ax to chop wood.
Do you have any stories? They are just that kind of people."
Leo understood immediately. He screamed "Ah", then shook the notebook in his hand and said, "I...I did it in vain?"
Lorraine thought for a while and said: "Not entirely, this information is still very valuable, at least the importance of those official positions is correct.
Let me give you an idea. If you want to seriously engage in these things, it is better to go through the secretaries. Their information will be well-informed and accurate."
Leo's eyes lit up immediately.
He grinned and said, "It turns out it was just the wrong direction. What the boss said was so right."
Catherine took several deep breaths before she calmed down. She looked at Lorraine and Leo and said helplessly: "You two, really... By the way, do you want Lorraine to go to Nai'an too?"
Luolina was smiling happily next to her. When she heard this, she was stunned and said, "What should I do?"
Catherine said: "Go to Nai'an to be the president of the Royal Mages Association."
Luolina said "Ah" and was stunned.
Adele thought for a moment, then came over and said, "That's right~! Our Luolina is a high-level mage. She just went to a place to train. Maybe by chance, she will break through to the great mage. Maple Leaf Danlin
The teaching assistant is of little help to you."
After hearing this, Vera hurriedly helped, saying: "That's right, senior sister, you can continue to teach me when you are here. Come and go~!"
Luolina looked at them and couldn't help but hesitate.
Leo's big eyes rolled around beside him, and he began to think in his mind.
He understands the importance of a high-level thug. Although the guards assigned to him and Catherine also include ruthless characters such as powerful battle mages, the young prince knows that with Catherine watching, he has no use for these people.
, but Luolina can bribe and help her fight.
Thinking of this, Leo immediately put on a cute face and said, "That's right, that's right. Lorena, come along too. Let's make money together and fight together when we have fights."
Lorraine also nodded to Lorena and said: "I also want you to go together. Only with you, a master who is almost at the level of the Archmage, can we control the people there."
Seeing that Luo Linna was still hesitating, Catherine immediately added fuel to the fire and said, "That's it, at worst, I will allocate more financial allocations to Luo Linna's Mage Association every year, so that you can freely conduct experiments."
Luo Linna rubbed her forehead and said: "I also know that it is important to exercise, but..."
Adele came closer, stretched out her slender hand, put an arm around Lorena's shoulders, and said, "What's the big deal? Do you think it's more important to be a teaching assistant or an archmage?"
In our magic academy, you may not be able to become a professor even if you make it to the age of forty, when no one takes it seriously. You can stay here for two years and gain experience. Just like Lorraine said, fight more monsters and do it.
Tasks and experience points increase, and you might wake up one morning and find that you are already an Archmage."
Luolina thought for a while, then sighed and said, "I'd better go back and ask the dean for his opinion~!"
Adele waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, my grandpa will definitely agree."
Luo Linna said: "Okay, I understand what you mean. I need to think about it carefully and go back to the academy."
Lorraine said: "Just in time, I still have something to ask Luo Linna to do at Maple Leaf Danlin."
Catherine asked: "What else do you have to do in Maple Leaf Danlin?"
Lorraine said: "I want Luo Linna to help me recruit some powerful ones from the mages in Maple Leaf Danlin. The names of local mages are very famous. I have thought about it. I am going to pay three thousand to five thousand for each person."
With an annuity of one thousand gold coins and hiring about thirty mages, it will be much easier to deal with the foreigners in Naian."
Leo said loudly on the side: "Boss, are you crazy? Three thousand gold coins a year? You might as well give me the money directly. If you want to kill anyone, just tell them and I will guarantee your service for a year."
Catherine grabbed Leo's ears, and Leo was dragged to Catherine's side, and then he was beaten.
Luo Linna looked at Lorraine and smiled and said: "You are really willing to spend money. If you tell us the price, how many people will break their heads and grab it."
Lorraine said: "I have very strict requirements, but if Luo Linna goes to Naian to become the president of the Mages Guild, she will just put these people in the Royal Mages Guild, and they will all be under your control."
Luolina smiled and said: "Kid, I'm a little tempted. How much salary can you give me?"
Lorraine shrugged and said, "Are you short of money?"
"I'm not short of money, but I have to know my value." Luo Linna said.
"You are also in the core management, so I will directly give you shares in Naian Province." Lorraine said cheerfully.
Luo Linna snapped her fingers and said: "Deal."
Vera jumped up and hugged Lorena, smiling happily and saying, "That's great."
The chair Luolina was sitting on was almost knocked over by Vera. Luolina patted Vera and said: "Okay, okay, even for you, a silly girl, I can't go back alone. Without me to teach you, you might be killed.
Dai'er and Lorraine were taken into the ditch."
Adele spat at Lorena and said, "Humph, you are looking down on me. I am a regular graduate of the Magic Academy. I have a diploma."
Lorraine also went through the departments that should be run. The procedures were completed, and the appropriation documents were sent from the Finance Department to the tax officer of Nai An Province in advance.
Catherine and Adele themselves thought that they had almost purchased the things they needed in Naian.
Milena's father also sent someone to deliver the news, agreeing that Milena should be Adele's student, and solemnly sent a thick thank you gift.
Melina finally got rid of the name of elopement and officially became a member of Lorraine's family.
Leo still doesn't know what kind of dire straits he will be in in the future, and he is so happy all day long~!
Forget it, all the official business is done. Lorraine and the others have just begun their private business, and there are quite a few people they need to visit before leaving the capital.
The first place Lorraine went to was Lorena's house, because Lorraine's relationship with Lorena's family was the closest.
Baron Rocund and his family entertained Lorraine warmly. At the dinner table, Baron Rocund held a wine glass and said to Lorraine: "Now many young people in Ruman City who don't know the heights of the world are jealous of you and say stupid things.
They are all there. Lorraine, you don’t have to worry about them."
Lorraine shrugged and said, "It's nothing more than saying I'm a pretty boy, so I won't pay attention to them."
Baron Roquande said: "Yes, that's the attitude. They know everything. Your Majesty and those of us in the cabinet know that your honor is earned bit by bit with your own blood and sweat.
And Luo Linna, when we heard that she was injured in Maple Leaf Danlin, his mother and I were worried to death.
You young people have created the world for you. When you get to the local level, just go ahead and do it, and we old guys can still speak in front of His Majesty."
Lorraine nodded and said, "Thank you, uncle and aunt."
Baron Rocund waved his hand and said: "There, I have to thank you~! Lorena told us that she also planned to go to Nai'an, which made us two old people extremely happy.
Lorraine, you don’t know, Lorraine has been staying in that maple leaf forest for so many years, and her mother and I are really worried that she will turn into that kind of eccentric mage."
Luolina said "Ah" on the side, and couldn't help but protest loudly, saying: "What are you talking about? I go home every year, and it's normal~!"
Baron Rocund waved his hand and said to Lorena: "Look at the children who grew up with you. They have all gotten married. Some of them even have children. You are not worried at all?"
Luo Linna hesitated and said: "I... my pursuits are different from theirs. I am now the youngest high-level mage in the empire."
Luolina's mother said next to her: "Your father and I would rather you are just an ordinary person. What's the point of being a mage? You don't have to go to war. You almost died last time. The lesson is not enough."
After hearing her nagging, Luo Linna immediately shuddered, knowing that once the lesson started, it would not be over within half an hour, so she quickly put up a show of surrender and blocked her mother's mouth.
Baron Roquande smiled and said: "It's better now. This silly girl of ours finally knows how to go outside for a walk."
Luolina smiled and said: "You are too happy too early. I will go to Nai'an to take care of the mage this time."
"A place like Nai'an is different from Maple Leaf Danlin. You will know if you go out into the society." Baron Rocund looked at Lorraine and said solemnly: "Lorraine, I will entrust Lorena to you.
Yes, my precious daughter is smart, but she has a bad temper and can't pull ten cows away. If something goes wrong, you have to persuade her more."
Lorraine said: "Uncle, aunt, don't worry, I promise to take good care of Luolina."
"Tch," Luo Linna gave Lorraine a very blank look and said, "It's not certain who will take care of whom~!"
After visiting Baron Roquande, Lorraine and Catherine went to the home of the Chief of Military Affairs, as well as some relatives of Catherine's family, and some of their own distant relatives.
When he was in Lorraine Castle, no one cared about him. Now that he has become the governor, everyone is here. Even relatives who are within reach of eight poles come to visit. Lord Lorraine is very tired.
A few days later, at the dinner table, Hilmeria announced to everyone that she was planning to return to Maple Leaf Danlin the next day.
Lorraine couldn't help being stunned when she heard Hilmeria suddenly say this.
He thought for a moment and said solemnly to Hilmeria: "That's fine, you should be more careful on the road."
Catherine and Adele looked at each other. The two of them were communicating with their eyes in a way that only they could understand.
Melina looked at her, her big blue eyes suddenly misty, and she was about to cry, and said: "Sister, when can I see you again?"
Hilmeria smiled and touched her head and said: "I'll try my best to see you and study hard with Sister Adele and Sister Catherine. When Adele was in Maple Leaf Danlin, whether it was studying or singing and dancing,
Always the best, sister Catherine is wise and generous, and is a role model for all Maple Leaf Danlin Girls' College. You must cherish the opportunity."
The little girl who aimed to be the fifth most gentle and virtuous girl in the world rubbed her little nose sadly, then nodded heavily and said, "I will definitely do it."
Catherine and Adele were both a little surprised to hear Hilmeria praising themselves so much, but the look on their pretty faces flashed over, and it immediately became a natural expression.
Leo said courteously on the side: "Sister Hilmeria, I will prepare snacks for you later to eat on the road."
Hilmeria smiled and said, "Oh, thank you. The things Leo prepared must be the best."
Adele looked at Hilmeria's bright smile, leaned into Catherine's ear and said, "She looks like a great beauty when she smiles like this."
Catherine, Adele and Hilmeria have been dealing with each other for many years. They are all very familiar with each other. They don’t say many polite words. They just ask Hilmeria to pay more attention on the road. Catherine even helps Hilmeria.
Ya prepared some gifts for the people in Maple Leaf Danlin.
Knowing that Hilmeria was about to leave, Lorraine felt a little heavy. At the small party where everyone bid farewell to Hilmeria in the evening, they didn't say much.
When it was time to go to bed at night, Lorraine went upstairs and opened her door, only to see Catherine and Adele wrapped in quilts and half lying on pillows under the ambiguous light.
The thin quilt only reached the waists of the two girls. Catherine and Adele were lying on their sides facing each other, with their pajamas sliding off their shoulders and waist, revealing all kinds of charm.
Catherine and Adele were talking, and they didn't know what interesting things they were talking about. The two girls covered their stomachs and burst out laughing.
Lorraine was stunned at the door.
Lorraine knew that such good things would not fall from the sky, and Catherine and Adele must have had nothing good happen to them.
Seeing the dazed look of Lorraine's supervisors, Catherine snorted dissatisfied and turned her head away from Lorraine. Adele pointed at Lorraine and smiled sweetly: "Silly Goose, we will pardon you tonight and go to accompany Xi."
Ermelia for one night, but I’m warning you first, if you dare to eat secretly again, we will cut you into pieces.”
As he spoke, he made a cutting gesture with his slender hands like a knife.
Lorraine screamed "Ah" in shock.
Catherine picked up a pillow and threw it on Lorraine, saying, "Ah, what? She keeps flirting with her all day long, pretending that Del and I can't see it."
Lorraine suddenly discovered that her adultery was exposed, and she was very nervous at the moment, saying: "I...I..."
Adele snorted and said: "I have known for a long time that we are also women. No matter how noble she usually pretends to be, she will still show her bottom when she is in front of you. If she had not been a special status and was not a threat to the two of us, Ni and I would
But I have locked you in the basement a long time ago, and you still want to flirt with women outside, huh~ huh~"
Lorraine said: "There is a reason for this, I can explain it."
Catherine said: "The devil only listens to your sweet talk. Go quickly. If it were later, we would regret it. If she hadn't helped your future, would I have been able to tolerate her? We can warn you first. If you do something like this in the future,
Dare you bring back those shabby women again... or you told me that your hometown is a master at dealing with these people, so I've wanted to try it for a long time."
Lorraine was so frightened by the threats from the two girls that her heart trembled and she was speechless.
Adele jumped off the bed, walked to Lorraine, kept kicking his calves and said: "Let's go, I will reward you this time."
Then, he pushed Lorraine out and slammed the door.
Adele jumped to the bed in two steps, picked up Catherine and hugged her, giggling and rolling together with Catherine. Catherine couldn't help laughing.
Adele said with a smile: "Look at the way he looked just now, he was so scared. He always looks like a rogue, but he turns out to be so cowardly."
Catherine managed to hold back her laughter and said: "Tomorrow morning I want to see how that noble lady of the Holy See still pretends to be noble in front of me. Huh, now, she will never be able to stand up in front of us in the future. After so many years
