David Mo went back home and read the letter that Father Mo left behind again. The love between the lines was beyond words. In the end, he finally calmed down and went straight to the urban management army to report with the appointment letter.
The headquarters of the Urban Management Army is an extremely majestic three-story building. Located in the most prosperous place in Yanjing, it still looks extremely dazzling, as if telling all passers-by that this is the most direct law enforcement department in Yanjing.
There are two huge lion statues in front of the building. Staff members are coming and going through the building. However, many of them are not wearing official uniforms, but a kind of clothing made by the urban management army. After all, this is a temporary building for the whole city.
The organization with the most workers.
Two days had passed since the imperial court originally requested that he take up his post immediately, but he refused the request on the grounds that his official uniform had not been issued.
The official originally wanted to scold him, but he didn't expect that he didn't care at all. However, thinking of the debt he owed to him, he didn't say anything more, and finally sent him a set of official uniforms from the sixth grade two days later.
at home.
The official uniform of the Holy Empire is mainly black and looks like a formal dress, but it has more swallowtails than the ordinary dress. It also has an official medal of the Holy Empire on the right chest and various birds and animals embroidered with gold thread on the collar.
David Mo's collar from the sixth rank is embroidered with a goshawk, and the six bronze stars on the officer's badge represent his rank.
He was originally in great shape, and he looked even more handsome in official uniform. The leather shoes under his feet were shiny, and he looked majestic and majestic.
He appeared at the door of the Urban Management Army with a stern face. The guards on both sides saw that he was wearing official uniform, so they did not stop him. After entering the hall, two staff members finally asked him what he was doing.
One of the temporary workers without official uniform said with some flattery: "May I ask, sir, what can I do for you in this humble position?"
David Mo glanced at him and said calmly: "I'm here to see Mr. Fu Yede."
Another temporary worker couldn't help but asked: "I wonder what you have to do with Mr. Fuyede? He is busy right now."
Although David Mo is a sixth-grade official, to the urban management army, an ordinary sixth-grade official is really nothing in their eyes. Because of the special surname of the urban management army, the people responsible for reception are all
The eyes are higher than the top.
David Mo stared at the man and said in a cold tone: "Please tell me that Nancheng Commander David Mo will come to take office today!" After saying that, he took out the appointment letter from his arms and handed it over.
The temporary worker just now didn't expect that the man in front of him turned out to be the future commander of Nancheng who had been rumored for a long time. He quickly complained: "The villain has eyesight but cannot see Mount Tai! I hope you will understand!"
Taking the appointment letter from David Mo, he quickly went to find Rusko, Foyed's adjutant. The remaining temporary worker was even more frightened. How dare he let the new commander stand at the door waiting, so he quickly introduced him.
living room.
David Mo followed him all the way to the living room. His eyes were filled with splendor and splendor. The urban management army looked vaguely like a small palace, which showed how rich the errands of this yamen were.
He was not kept waiting for long. Rusco rushed to the living room after a while and said with an apologetic expression: "I came a little late, I hope you will forgive me."
David Mo glanced at the official medal on Rusko's chest. He was an eighth-grade junior official, with a slightly strange look in his eyes.
Rusco quickly introduced: "My humble name is Rusco. He is the adjutant of Lord Fuyede. Now he is specially here to take you to see the governor."
David Mo nodded and followed him to Fuyede's office. Fuyede was the fifth-grade governor, and as a junior officer, he could only go to see him.
Originally, David Mo should have come to report two days ago, but Fuyed led three other commanders and a group of officials from the urban management army to wait for a long time, but there was no sign of David Mo at all.
Later, when someone came from the Ministry of Personnel, we found out that this gold-level superpower never came, and actually refused to take office on the grounds that his official uniform was not done properly.
However, all officials of the Holy Empire must wait until they take office before wearing official uniforms. This is obviously an extremely unreasonable requirement.
But even this rude request was finally acquiesced by the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, which made many officials in the urban management army complain. The newly promoted commander of Nancheng was a little too trusting.
The other three commanders left on the spot and said that there was no need to notify them next time the commander came back.
Fuyede did not dissuade him at that time, because he just took this opportunity to give this gold-level genius boy a showdown. Therefore, no one except himself will attend the reception today.
After entering the door, Rusco quickly introduced: "This is Fu Yede, the commander of our urban management army, Mr. Fu." He then introduced to Fu Yede: "This is David Mo, the commander of Nancheng appointed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Mr. Mo."
After speaking, he handed David Mo's appointment letter into Fuyed's hands.
The moment he saw David Mo, Fuyed's first impression was that he was handsome, too handsome! The second impression was that he was young, very young! The last impression was that he was cold, because David Mo had no expression on his face.
David Mo also had a very intuitive feeling about Fuyede. The boss's face was very warm, just like all the older officials he had seen so far. Fuyede also maintained this unique officialdom attitude.
smile.
After Fuyede confirmed the appointment letter, he checked David Mo's official medal. These were all routine matters to prevent anyone from pretending to be an official.
A moment later, before David Mo could speak, he already had a smile on his face and said kindly: "The commander is indeed a young and talented man. From now on, you will be the one to help me share the work in Nancheng."
His shrewd eyes flickered slightly, showing no trace of resentment from the previous two days, as if he was extremely welcoming David Mo's arrival.
The coldness on David Mo's face finally disappeared, and he squeezed out a smile and said: "Sir, you're welcome, you are always strong and strong. I still need to ask you for more advice on the work in Nancheng in the future."
He doesn't have to look down on those temporary workers, but for his boss Fuyede, necessary courtesy and respect are essential, because this is the most basic etiquette for a nobleman.
Fuyede also relaxed a little. He was most afraid that this young and energetic commander would be an unsophisticated person. Now that he is willing to show goodwill, his future work will be relatively easy.
He nodded and said with some emotion: "Our urban management and military management have many matters, ranging from the security and stability of Yanjing to the construction and protection of every plant and tree. Many times it is extremely complicated."
Having said this, he glanced at David Mo and smiled: "But this shouldn't trouble you. I'm old, and I still need to rely on you young people for many things."
His words were a bit cynical, implying that David Mo should not act rashly. The affairs of the urban management army are very complicated, and it is not something you, a young boy, can change.
David Mo thought for a moment and understood what he meant, and replied with a faint smile: "Since the imperial court has asked me to serve as the commander of Nancheng, I will do my best and will not bring disgrace on your face."
His words told Fuyede without leaving any trace, I won't care about things outside Nancheng, but I will take charge of things inside Nancheng. If you put any obstacles in your way for me, your face will not look good when the time comes.
Fu Yede stared at David Mo for a while. He didn't expect that David Mo was also familiar with this. The smile on his face became thicker and thicker, and after a moment he said: "I met a young hero today."
Then he said to Rusko who was standing aside: "You go and get ready. The commander and I will go to Nancheng together later."
After Rusco took the order and went out, Fuyede smiled at David Mo and said: "Before you came, I was the commander of Nancheng. I have to go there personally for this handover task."
The meaning in his words was very obvious, almost telling David Mo directly that Nancheng District has always been my territory in the past, and I have to hand over your tasks.
David Mo smiled and nodded, with a noncommittal expression on his face: "Thank you for your generous help, sir. I will never forget my humble position."
Fu Yede finally nodded with satisfaction. In the confrontation with David Mo, he thought he had the upper hand, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud: "No matter how high your cultivation level is, in this urban management army, you still have to look at my face.
."
Rusco moved quickly, and Fuyede's special carriage was ready at the door. In order to show intimacy, Fuyede did not let David Mo get into another carriage, but let him ride together.
Fuyed's carriage was very exquisite. Judging from the ceremonial guard of a fifth-grade official, this formation was undoubtedly a bit out of line. But fortunately, he still had the status of a first-class earl, and the Ministry of Supervision had no reason to impeach him.
A large number of urban management army guards surrounded the carriage to clear the way for them. The people around them quickly got out of the way. Those who couldn't get out of the way were immediately whipped, but no one dared to have any doubts.
This is the urban management army. They run rampant in Yanjing and oppressing the people is their specialty. As the most powerful eagle dogs in politics, they are the nemesis of almost all businessmen and people, and are the subjects of submission to all evil forces.
But when facing dignitaries, they always have a pleasing face, and flattery has become their specialty, so the nobles are particularly fond of them.
Looking at the people around him whose eyes were filled with fear, David Mo sighed softly in his heart. This is what this inferior army did. They were almost a disgrace to the army, even worse than the local garrison.
But Fuyede's face was somewhat smug. He enjoyed the fear of the people very much, and his power was based on these fears.
Although he only holds an official position from the fifth rank, in terms of actual power, he lives a more prosperous life than many officials of the third rank.
An hour or two later, they finally arrived at the commander's residence. It was located in the best location in the south city. It was a two-story building with a dedicated office residence in front. Maybe it was because Fuyede had worked here.
The decoration is extremely gorgeous.
Behind the commander's residence is the main camp of the urban management army in the southern city. According to Fuyede's introduction, there are nearly 3,000 soldiers here. However, David Mo did not hear any sounds of training at all.
Nancheng Urban Management Army officials, who had already received the news, lined up neatly on both sides of the road, waiting for their arrival.
David Mo and Fu Yede got off the car together, and saw people on both sides of the road suddenly knelt down on one knee and shouted: "The God of Light shines on all things! The Holy Empire will be immortal! The lowly ranks welcome the Governor!"
The movements were neat and uniform, obviously this was not the first time. David Mo was slightly shocked. He did not expect that Fu Yede's official authority would reach such a level.
