Finally, Prime Minister Macarin stood up and left. Although he didn't say anything, the several big guys present were veterans who had been in the officialdom for decades.
Prime Minister Macarin originally wanted to put some pressure on the Guards on this matter, so he came directly to Admiral Hawks for this purpose.
Unexpectedly, the commander-in-chief blocked him with one mouthful and used the reputation of the Imperial Guard to overwhelm him.
No matter how good the prime minister is, he can never say in front of the commander-in-chief and the admiral of the guards, "The reputation of your guards is nothing!"
After all, the Semitic people built their country by force, and those soldiers and gangsters were inherently bad-tempered. After being suppressed by the civil service group over the years, their tempers became even worse.
If he really said this, those soldiers and gangsters got angry, and he might be beaten. Moreover, even if the lawsuit reached the Dark Council, he would not be able to deal with it, and he might take advantage of it.
Was kicked off the stage.
Therefore, he could only swallow the matter back.
Although the three old men said goodbye politely, everyone knew clearly that the gap between the civil service system and the general group was getting wider and wider.
But these soldiers and gangsters were not worried at all, because the conflicts and grievances between the two sides had not lasted for a day or two.
As long as it is not a period of national war, it is normal for civil servants to suppress Wu Bian. They are also afraid that the gang of soldiers are full and have nothing to do. They will copy them and play a management buyout. The emperor takes turns to do it. This year he came to my house.
The civil-military war is no longer ten or twenty years, but one hundred or two hundred years.
In the history of the Semitic people, this kind of struggle has never stopped. In fact, the civil and military disputes have never stopped in the history of that country.
Originally, the Imperial Guard was trapped in the hands of the civil servants. Various hidden rules were used to torture these stupid soldiers. Normally, they would never be fed. The Imperial Guard could only get some scraps.
.
Not to mention anything else, the barracks of the Guards have been built for two to three hundred years, let alone new ones. Even the funds for normal maintenance are tight, and even the admiral's headquarters is not in Lorraine's eyes.
Even if the Prime Minister has a grudge, so what? Do they still dare not to pay a penny?
Damn it, by that time, everyone will just open up and have a good fight. Let’s see who can’t stand it in the end~!
On the other hand, what if it satisfies him? Will he immediately give a large sum of money to the Guards? That is simply impossible.
But now, with the help of Lorraine, they have found a way to make a fortune and make a good fortune. This is the right way. Maybe in the future, everyone can rely on this to get rid of the control of civil servants.
Relying on the reputation of the Imperial Guard, Lorraine killed another unsighted guy. It is foreseeable that this business will become bigger and bigger in the future, and it will go smoothly.
The chief stood at the door, watching Macarin leave in the carriage with a smile on his face. He cursed in his heart: It is so satisfying to finally have a grandson like you.
The commander-in-chief wished he could look up to the sky and laugh twice, feeling relieved from the aggrieved feelings he felt every time he went to ask for military expenses.
At this moment, Hawkes stretched out his hand and pointed implicitly at the rear window of Macarin's carriage.
The commander couldn't help but squint his eyes and keenly noticed that under the rear eaves of the Prime Minister's carriage, there was a steel seal of a flying eagle. This car was still brand new.
He couldn't help but sneered. He had never paid attention to this aspect before, but he didn't expect that your grandson would also use smuggled goods.
When he saw what was going on here, he immediately waved and called his carriage. When he boarded the carriage, he sternly shouted at Hawks: "Do it well. Make those damn civil servants angry. If anyone dares to cause trouble, let them go."
He went to find me."
After saying that, he sat in the carriage. The chief looked around and walked into the old carriage. Suddenly he stuck his head out of the window and whispered to Hawks: "My car is a bit old, isn't it? Well, you
I understand…”
Hawks smiled and said: "Yes, sir, I understand."
The commander chuckled, then slapped his forehead and said: "The horses pulling the cart are also old. I heard... you have two famous horses?"
Hawkes said decisively: "No way, don't even think about it! Let your granddaughter buy it for you."
The president rolled his eyes at Hawkes and cursed angrily: "Hawkes, you damn stingy guy."
Then he patted the carriage, the driver shook the reins, drove the carriage, and left the admiral's headquarters.
Hawkes returned to the office and called back Lorraine and Toles.
He stared at Lorraine fiercely for a long time, and finally slapped the table and shouted angrily: "Do it for me. I'll make those damn civil servants mad. If something happens, I'll take care of you~!"
With this Shang Fang sword in hand, Lorraine was overjoyed.
With the support of the admiral and the commander behind him, Lorraine swayed three times and returned to the camp in a grand manner.
This is not just to show off, but more importantly, to make a gesture to let other bastards with evil intentions know that although Captain Lei Luo was called away by the Admiral, he returned safely, and came back with great vigor and high spirits.
Already.
The implication alone is enough to shut up those dissatisfied guys.
At this time, all the soldiers who had followed him on a cargo trip returned to the camp.
They were all anxious and squatting in the corner, eagerly waiting for the final result.
If Lorraine is punished, then even if they are not guilty, the door to wealth that they just opened will be slammed shut. From now on, they can only continue to live an honest life of munching on cornbread and living that kind of life.
A hopeless life.
But no matter what, they were deeply grateful to Lorraine because he gave them soldiers and ruffians a glimmer of hope. He also took the lead and did everything personally. This style made the soldiers and ruffians admire him from the bottom of their hearts.
, this is the quality that an excellent officer should have.
Some of the bastards had already planned that if Lorraine was sent to the army, they would grab a knife and kill him on the way, rescue Lorraine, and drag the boss along with them to become smugglers.
There is no future in being a praetorian guard but lying here.
Anyway, you are tired of this kind of life of eating cornbread, why not imitate those heroes and go up to the mountains to be robbers, still drink and eat meat, and be happy in life.
These soldiers and gangsters all come from aristocratic families. They are used to the kind of wealthy life. If they are allowed to live that kind of hard life again, it would be better to have a vigorous fucking~!
Didn’t the ancients say that?
A manly man who cannot be remembered for eternity will have to be infamous for eternity.
No matter what, you must leave your name in this world, so that your trip to this world is not in vain~!
Just when they were thinking about all the possible and worst outcomes, and secretly getting angry, they saw Uncle Lorraine walking back with his hands behind his back, as if he had just returned from a neighbor's house.
It's like coming back through the door.
When the soldiers saw Lorraine's safe return, they immediately jumped up from the ground in excitement, roared like vicious dogs and shouted loudly, rushing to greet Lorraine.
Do they know that Lorraine returned safely this time, which means that the higher-ups have tacitly allowed them to engage in smuggling like this. From now on, everyone will make money every day, and spend time and money, and beautiful and happy days are waving to everyone.
When the time comes, you can also have a mistress, raise a mistress, live in a villa, and ride in a luxury car.
Some ruffians who want to be famous have even made plans. When they have money, they can also hire a few painters to draw a few nude photos of themselves, then send them all over the world, and finally enter the entertainment industry and live a life of sleeping with celebrities.
addiction……
Lorraine couldn't help but be moved when she saw everyone's excitement. In the military camp, other soldiers and officers also rushed over after receiving the news.
Immediately, the entire military camp emitted a burst of warm cheers. The cheers were like a tide, resounding across the sky and earth, shrouding the entire military camp, and never dissipated for a long time.
Thors did not expect that the soldiers welcomed Lorraine so warmly. Hearing that voice, he was immediately a little shocked. The will of the people cannot be violated.
Vaguely, he recalled the admiral's evaluation of Lorraine when he first arrived, and he couldn't help but secretly wonder: Is that young soldier really a peerless hero?
Hawkes, who was in the Admiral's Mansion, also heard the cheers.
He listened for a moment, and then he understood what was going on. He shook his head, his heart full of bitterness, and thought to himself: He was aloof. Although he often went down to explore the lives of the soldiers, he never thought that they were actually so poor.
In such a situation, alas... I have neglected my duty...
Lorraine saw everyone's excitement and excitement, and immediately climbed up a stone statue nearby, and then announced loudly: "Brothers, our big plan to benefit the country and the people has been approved by the Prime Minister, the President,
And the admiral’s full support~!”
Thors and the other guys who were clear-headed and sensible heard this, immediately grinned, and cursed in their hearts: This damn soldier is so capable. The prime minister and the commander-in-chief dare to criticize him. It's really not a bit of a joke.
No face left.
At this time, Lorraine also glanced and found that Commander Thors was standing at the entrance of the hall, looking at this side intently. He rolled his eyes and added loudly: "Several adults have all said that they want us to
Under the leadership of the commander-in-chief, we will not be arrogant or impatient, continue to pioneer and move forward bravely~!"
The crowd immediately cheered again.
After hearing what he said, Thors couldn't help but secretly complain. Although he also took a bribe, Lorraine's words completely tied him to the pirate ship.
He wanted to step forward to argue a few words, but when he saw those simple soldiers turning their heads one by one, with stars shining in their eyes, looking at him with admiration, he couldn't help but hesitate, and finally could only
He waved and smiled twice, with a smile on his face.
Lorraine clapped his hands again, attracting everyone's attention. He said: "Brothers, anyone who is not on duty should go back and notify them."
In order to show the importance of his voice, he raised a finger and said loudly: "Pay attention, what I say is very important.
Tonight, tonight is the night.
In order to smoothly implement the wise instructions and important speeches of the Prime Minister, the Governor, the Admiral, the Commander-in-Chief and others, the first Sotheby's auction was successfully held in the camp of the Guards~!"
He paused deliberately, raised his hands, and waited for everyone to cheer and applaud. But after waiting for a while, he saw that everyone was looking at each other with hesitation on their faces.
Lorraine couldn't help but feel a little confused, and asked curiously: "What's wrong with you?"
Someone boldly asked: "Sir, I...we people like us have little experience. May I ask, what is this Sotheby's auction for?"
Lorraine hesitated immediately, and then cursed: "A bunch of ignorant country bumpkins~! They don't even know about the Sotheby's auction."
Everyone immediately lowered their heads in shame.
Lorraine sighed, and then said: "This Sotheby's auction is an auction that allows rich people to come in and spend money to buy things. First, there is a quota limit, and second, in order to ensure that the auction proceeds smoothly
, you also need to pay an entry deposit. The minimum is one hundred gold coins."
Everyone gasped after hearing this. Someone whispered from below: "One hundred gold coins? That's a huge sum of money."
Lorraine said angrily: "Trash. Our auction is only for rich people. Can someone who doesn't even have a hundred gold coins be called a rich person?"
Everyone looked at Lorraine and couldn't help but feel guilty, and they only agreed.
Lorraine snorted coldly and continued: "Then when you invite people, you should also be careful. For example, among the dignitaries, there are enemies with each other..."
Someone thought they were smart and shouted loudly: "Don't worry, sir, we will definitely take care of people like that and not let them in and disturb the order of the venue."
Lorraine was furious and cursed loudly: "Asshole~! Whoever dares to do this, I will kill him."
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Lorraine said: "Grandma, they are a bunch of idiots. The more people like that, the more we have to invite them in. Let them dislike each other, and then maliciously raise the price. By then, a pig's head can be sold for the price of a diamond."
When everyone heard this, they all gave a thumbs up and praised in unison: "Sir, you are still ruthless~!"
Lorraine laughed angrily and cursed a few times, then felt uneasy and asked again: "Does everyone understand?"
Everyone replied: "Sir, don't worry. Isn't it just a trick? Although we are not as skilled as you in this move, we have practiced it since we were young."
After saying that, a burst of laughter broke out.
Lorraine paused for a moment and said: "By the way, anyone who brings guests must report their name to the etiquette at the door. If you look back, there will be a kickback of a few gold coins."
Everyone immediately shouted: "Sir, don't worry. If you are not here these days, Lei Xiao... uh, no. Chairman Lei Da has already taught us all these things. There is absolutely no mistake. You can see."
All right."
Lorraine was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Leo to grow up so fast. He had already made preparations in advance and no longer looked like a playful child.
But then he remembered that it was not that Leo was not playful, but that he regarded this money-frauding thing as the best game and was most interested in deceiving people.
Confucius Laoer's saying, "Those who know well are not as good as those who love to know, and those who love to know are not as good as those who enjoy knowing" can be reflected in him to the greatest extent.
Lorraine thought for a moment and made sure there was nothing missing. Then she clapped her hands and said, "Okay, that's it. Let's go. Go back and prepare. Time waits for no one. If you are late, you will make less money."
A day’s worth of money.”
Everyone agreed in agreement, stamped their feet in unison, then raised their hands in a salute, and then dispersed in all directions while discussing in low voices.
When Lorraine saw the crowd dispersing, he let out a long breath and felt the fatigue of the long journey welling up in his heart. But then he thought about it, but still couldn't feel relieved, and insisted on arriving at his squadron's camp.
I saw that the camp had been renovated, the playground had been re-padded, and it had been pressed repeatedly with stone rollers many times to make it solid and smooth.
The playground is not only filled with colorful flags, but also planted with green trees. I don’t know where the trees were moved from, and I don’t even consider whether these trees will survive if they are transplanted during this season. It’s a good deal.
project.
The playground was surrounded by cloth curtains, and workers could be seen inside setting up a platform.
From time to time, people would move in and out with tables, chairs and benches, obviously setting up the venue. It was completed immediately.
Lorraine couldn't help but sigh, she didn't expect the hands and feet here to be very fast.
He strolled to the window of Leo's office and saw that the window was wide open and Leo was sitting inside. Without saying anything, he leaned forward and jumped in from the window.
Leo was immediately overjoyed.
He shouted, jumped up, ran over in a few steps, and said: "Boss, you are finally back."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and pulled Lorraine to the sofa next to him, then spread the account book and plan next to him on the table, and said with a proud face: "Look, I did a good job, right? If there is any problem, it must be
You need to correct me properly."
Lorraine looked at his arrogant little tail and couldn't help laughing secretly in her heart. She didn't want to correct herself. She obviously wanted to praise him. She just didn't say clearly: If you have any praise, please come over as soon as possible.
, I can resist it~!
Therefore, Lorraine also laughed and praised him very much. After all, during the period of his absence, he was the one who planned and implemented these tasks.
When Lorraine praised her, she always said that the Yellow River was overflowing and was irresistible. He was a very heavy person, and it was hard to deal with a little fat man. Leo was so happy that he was praised, and his big eyes narrowed into slits. He was so happy.
It's almost impossible to find north.
After Lorraine finished her praise, she looked at it and then asked: "By the way, where is Vera?"
Leo raised his hand and pointed to the room next to him and said: "She works over there~! She is also a busy person now. She holds the positions of accountant and cashier, and is also the financial director. She is very busy."
Lorraine couldn't help being startled, and sighed inwardly: This little gangster is really courageous, and he actually let a dragon take care of all the gold coins.
But after thinking about it, I realized that it was right. Vera usually looks stupid, but as long as gold coins are involved, she suddenly becomes much smarter and is extremely vigilant. No one has ever been able to deceive her.
Not even myself can pass a gold coin.
Leo reached out and picked up the water glass on the table, took a look at it, and then shouted loudly: "Secretary Fei, bring me a cup of tea."
Lorraine couldn't help but was startled. She glanced at the office and saw only the sofa in front of her, a large and luxurious desk, a large and soft swivel chair, and a huge portrait hanging on the wall. On the portrait, Lei
Ou was sitting upright with a serious look on his face, which fully demonstrated the peerless style of a generation of business elites who commanded the world.
This was enough to see, but he didn't expect that he actually had a secretary. Thinking of this, he lost his voice and said, "You have a secretary now?"
Leo rolled his eyes at him and said, "What's wrong with me having a secretary? Is it weird?"
As the words fell, a girl with beautiful appearance and slim figure walked in.
It's Fiona.
She looked at Lorraine and immediately exclaimed, then rushed over like a whirlwind and plunged into Lorraine's arms.
Leo looked at it and couldn't help shouting dissatisfiedly: "Hey, you are my secretary now, why don't you have any professionalism at all?
But then I saw Fiona turning her head viciously, with a frosty face, and said in a sweet voice: "Shut up~!"
Leo immediately trembled in fright, then laughed dryly, and under Fiona's eyes, he obediently walked out of the door, and finally closed the door from the outside.
Although he is young, he has grown up under the hands of Catherine and knows very well how terrifying a girl with endocrine disorders can be.
After he closed the door, he thought about it, but still felt unwilling to do so, and waved his fist demonstratively towards the room.
In the evening, when the lanterns came on, the entrance to the camp of the First Division of the Royal Guards was already bustling with people.
Countless men and women dressed in luxurious clothes rode in carriages and arrived at the gate of the Forbidden Army's camp.
Before they arrived at the door, soldiers had already greeted them. They then asked a few questions politely, and finally got out of the car with a small bag containing gold coins, registered their names at the ceremonial office at the door, and received one.
Number plate.
Moreover, when the soldiers handed over the number plates, they also gave a few special instructions to tell the visitors that in order to be concealed, everyone had to put the signs away. When the time comes, during the auction, everyone will just hold up the placards. Don't go out of your way.
Say your name.
When those people drive into the auction venue in carriages, they will see that the auction items have been placed in piles on the playground next to them. Everyone can watch and enjoy them in order to choose the items they like.
.When it comes to the auction, you can also be well aware of it.
As carriages drove in, the military camp was already crowded with dignitaries who came to attend the auction.
Immediately, a loud gong was heard, and the entire auction venue fell silent.
Immediately afterwards, a confident voice sounded: The auction begins now~!
