Chapter 440: The process of regression and progress(2/2)
It is much better than His Majesty Varian, who is kind but unable to control his own kingdom.
Howson has never forgotten the scene where he escorted the tax collectors to pay taxes, and then was forced to stay in Stormwind City for a month, causing countless grains to rot and having to pay taxes out of his own pocket.
As for Li Ke, although more than half of the officials formed an expeditionary force to attack Alsace's fleet, the system of Li Ke's entire territory did not collapse like that of Stormwind City, although the efficiency was more than ten times slower than before.
Yes, but even so, it is hundreds of times faster than Stormwind City's efficiency.
He wasn't kidding.
In the past, it only took about ten minutes to process certificates and documents at Li Ke's place. Now, due to lack of manpower, it takes about three to five hours.
But in Stormwind City, it will take at least ten days, and this is after finding a relationship, inviting people to eat and drink, and giving money.
Because everyone has to get some money from it, and the wages in Stormwind City really can't support people.
"Friends?"
Li Ke looked at Howlson and used the Holy Light to sense the other person's heart, only to find that the other person's soul was extremely attracted to the Holy Light, but like himself, he resisted the Holy Light.
This made him a little curious, so he asked.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "So what do you think of the Holy Light? Do you think you are worthy of possessing the Holy Light?"
Howson still didn't understand what Li Ke meant, so he spoke cautiously.
"The Holy Light is the symbol of all good things. Mr. Li Ke, only those who truly think about others deserve to have the Holy Light. As for me, I don't deserve it because my words and deeds are just to keep my family fed and clothed. I
The people around me will not suffer bad luck because they break the law, so I am not worthy of having the Holy Light."
His answer was very sincere, and he indeed thought so, and therefore, he did not have the Holy Light.
Li Ke couldn't help but scolded Shengguang for being blind in his heart, and then handed a letter of appointment to Howson.
"So, are you willing to be my secretary? Howson? And when I am satisfied, you will take on a more important position. Moreover, I need you to recruit some people you trust to take charge of some government projects that are currently short of manpower.
.”
His words directly shocked Hao Ersen. He knew that Li Ke wanted to recruit him when he called him. Therefore, he carefully expressed his views, but he never expected that Li Ke would recruit him.
Be your own secretary and take charge of a department in the future?
The huge impact made him a little overwhelmed. He stiffly panicked his hands and feet, and then pointed at himself tremblingly.
"You mean, me?"
"Of course, but if you are willing, your wife can also come to work for me. In this era, women with this kind of thinking ability are rare. I need some female officials..."
Li Ke nodded and then looked at Howlson.
He didn't mind that Howson took this opportunity to cultivate his own forces. After all, it was a helpless move, but as a leader, if he really wanted to, crushing these forces would only be a matter of words.
"Yes, Master Li Ke, of course I am willing, but..."
Howson hesitated for a moment, and Li Ke accepted his doubts.
"What?"
"Will you always do this to your people?"
The more he saw, the more he thought. Howson was very curious about this matter. Li Ke chuckled lightly and looked at Howson, a man who thought he was not worthy of receiving the Holy Light.
"The people have given me all the rights, Howson, and I know that very well."
Although it is ironic to say such a thing in this world, Li Ke still said it.
After all, if he doesn’t say it himself, who else will?
Some things must be said.
Howlson felt a burst of happiness and shock, and his brain was a little dizzy, but he still knelt down on one knee and put his palm on his chest.
"Then, Your Majesty, please accept my allegiance."
But Li Ke just chuckled.
"I'm not a king, Howson, I'm the son of farmers and workers, besides."
Li Ke raised his hand, and the invisible force made Howlson stand up suddenly from the ground.
"Stand up, don't kneel!"
