Chapter nine(2/2)
You can receive grain equivalent to the annual tax from the Department of the Interior. If you are not the only child in the family, you do not have to pay taxes until other brothers and sisters reach adulthood. In addition, there are other help in various villages and towns, but this will not be realized until the situation improves. "
"Madam, it's not that I doubt your words." The leader continued: "You also know that what you say now will really be seriously implemented by those village and town officials?"
"What you said is wrong! How can you question Madam's words?" I knocked on the table and criticized the leader in a gentle tone: "Even if the people below are not effective, you are still there! There are also three internal affairs supervisors! It's really not possible.
, and me as the governor!"
"Please forgive me, sir, please have mercy. This young man is ignorant. His father died in the Battle of Tucheng, so he is a little impatient." The old leader who was cleaning up the scene came out again, turned around and scolded: "You haven't apologized to my wife yet!
"
The reckless leader apologized.
"Don't be nervous. Don't look at me. I often shout and kill, but that's on the battlefield. Now is the dinner. I won't treat you like this. You are all my officials!" Seeing Wen Sili's magnanimity
After forgiving him, I didn’t want to delve deeper: "Actually! We have also considered this issue. What do you think of the comrades who led you to fight the enemy side by side in the Battle of Tucheng? Are they trustworthy?"
"Of course I can trust it. Our friendship was forged in the flames of war and with blood!"
"Okay, as long as you can trust me. Because of this, the three internal affairs supervisors opposed all the opinions at the meeting and asked thousands of wounded and disabled soldiers to become village chiefs. Just ask Xiao Jiadenan, at that time
There were so many quarrels at the meeting." I said loudly: "With these village chiefs and town chiefs here, can we still let the families of the sacrificed soldiers be bullied?"
At this moment, the leaders were not only speechless, but they also had to accept a big favor from my three ladies.
"We are all very grateful to Master Cohen for taking such good care of us." Another leader stood up: "But Master Cohen, have you ever thought that the thirty-six tribes have been scattered, and us leaders... what should we do?"
Sure enough, it is exactly what I thought. The reason why these leaders insist on not dispersing the tribes is to fight for their own interests. I get annoyed when I look at such people!
"This! Do you know?" Kelly, who was also unhappy, spoke at the side: "The son of the dignified leader of the Vampire Clan is just the construction supervisor of the Dark City. The son of the leader of the Sand People is just a member of the Logistics Department of the Interior Department.
The deputy director is only responsible for managing the workers. The son of the dwarf tribe leader is just the director of the foundry... They are all friends of my husband since childhood, brothers who have been with my husband since he was involved in politics.
"
Everyone was silent, some bowed their heads, some touched their noses, and some ate bread fiercely... It seemed that they would not give up until I made a promise.
What should I say about them? They helped me when I was fighting for my life, and they did not hold me back. According to the customs of the officialdom, it is reasonable for them to want an official, but in my home office
Here, the laws governing the appointment and dismissal of officials are publicly posted, so this approach simply won’t work!
Don't give it to me! The leader of the small tribe will have his colorful intestines twisted into a ball to make trouble for you...
Just when I was feeling angry, the chief chamberlain came over to me.
"What's the matter?" I asked in a low voice. Normally he would not do this.
"Report to the Governor." The chief chamberlain said: "His Majesty Fichet heard that the Governor invited all the leaders to have a dinner. Knowing that the current conditions in the palace are not good, he specially asked someone to send a box of fine red wine."
"That's it!" I nodded: "Let's pour wine for everyone."
While I was pouring the wine, the chief chamberlain approached me and whispered: "Your Majesty sent a message, asking the Governor to deal with it calmly. If you really can't do it, you can force it. If there is a falling out, your Majesty will personally intervene."
I nodded slightly, took a sip of wine calmly, and the head waiter stepped back.
"To thank His Majesty for his kindness." I stood up and said, "Let us drink a toast to His Majesty's health."
"For the health of His Majesty Fichet." Everyone raised their glasses and shouted in unison: "Do it!"
I drank the wine in the glass in one gulp without knowing what it tasted like, then asked everyone to sit down, and then walked to the middle of the banquet hall.
"Everyone has not been with me for long, but I have fought a lot of nasty battles. Starting from the Battle of Tucheng, our relationship has gone through various tests... Although everyone is safe now, we can look back and think about it.
, the leaders decided that it was a risky decision for the whole clan to follow me." I said emotionally: "Others don't know it, but I know it myself. I don't have a good temper, and I even threatened everyone at the time."
After hearing what I said, the atmosphere in the banquet hall relaxed a little, and the leaders also chuckled.
"Although we didn't encounter any big trouble along the way, it's not easy for your whole family to keep up with the marching speed! Needless to say, you're scared when you sleep in the open air." As I walked, I patted everyone on the shoulder: "Besides,
You still have to appease and control the tribesmen. There has been no trouble among the thirty-six tribes along the way. You—you have a good understanding of the general situation and you have contributed a lot!"
"I, Cohen Keda, will remember every bit of this in my heart." When the head waiter filled the wine for me again, I raised my glass and said, "I thank you for this glass of wine. Thank you for your efforts."
The hardships!”
They may feel that they are being entertained and drink the wine in one gulp.
"But now, it is imperative that the thirty-six tribes are dispersed and resettled, and I don't want to lie to you." In order to express my regret, I knitted my brows: "If the tribes are to be dispersed to various villages and towns, of course they cannot be dispersed again.
The leader of the clan, as the clan leader of a clan, our clan leader... is the end of the line."
"is this real?"
"Master, is the matter really irreversible?"
"Master...we..." Some people were already crying.
I said to the chief chamberlain: "Pour more wine for everyone."
"Now, let's put aside the discussion of how to arrange the arrangements. I just want to tell everyone that if you still recognize me as the governor, just drink this glass of wine." Holding the wine glass in my hand, I said solemnly: "For everyone, this is
It’s another difficult choice, but this time I don’t want to intimidate you. If you trust me, please drink this glass of wine. I believe I will not treat you badly. Please drink this glass of wine. Believe me, I will drink a bowl of water evenly.
Yes, please drink this glass of wine too."
I drank it first and looked at the people present with broad eyes, then the three ladies, and then little Jiadenan.
Although they were reluctant, seeing that things had come to this, most of the leaders still drank. The remaining die-hard leaders couldn't resist my gaze and couldn't stand it, so they had no choice but to drink.
They all understand that if they don't drink this glass of wine, they won't be able to trust me or recognize me, and the outcome will be unpredictable...
Facts have proved that the governor's intimidation was successful once again.
Looking at these frustrated former leaders, I smiled slightly and began to appease them.
"Don't be so depressed, everyone. I am very pleased that you can trust me." I said, "In fact, you will never suffer any loss by following me."
My eyes stayed on little Jiadenan's face for a moment longer.
"Mr. Cohen!" Little Gardenan said loudly, "I have a few requests!"
"you say."
"Master also knows that the name of our leader is inherited from generation to generation. Please allow us to continue to use it."
I nodded: "Yes!"
"We leaders, we really can't let go of our feelings for our clansmen. Please have mercy on me... don't let us leave our clansmen."
I nodded: "Yes!"
"We leaders...we are no longer leaders..." Little Jiadnan began to wipe away tears.
"Husband." At this moment, Feilin stood up at the right time: "I have an idea."
"you say."
"Everyone here is a wise man who understands the general situation and takes the overall situation into consideration. They have been tribal leaders for a long time." Feilin said: "They have rich experience and experience, and more importantly, they are very loyal. Can they continue to lead?"
Where are your own people?"
The dim eyes of all the wealthy people in the banquet hall lit up.
"What good ideas do you have?" I asked: "If they are allowed to continue to lead the tribe, how will the Ministry of the Interior get through?"
"It depends on people! I suggest that we set up a position in the management agencies at all levels for everyone to take charge of helping the people of the thirty-six tribes better integrate into the provincial family and coordinate and resolve disputes." Feilin came over and said: "
Of course, if you continue to call them clan leaders, it will make people doubt the management ability of the province, and it will not be conducive to unity... I think it is better to call you councilors. The official position is the same as the highest local chief. If you have outstanding abilities,
They can also hold multiple positions and directly participate in the management of various ministries and departments. As for Xiao Jiadenan! He is at the same level as the director of the Provincial Department of Interior."
"What do you think? Is this possible?" I looked surprised: "How come I didn't think of such a good idea! And I made everyone worry in vain..."
What else can the leaders say? From the time they were little Jiadnan, all of them have been grateful to Feilin.
"Then it's settled." I said, "Everyone should be busy now, help settle these 1.6 million people, and then take office! Cheers!"
"cheers!"
The fact is that they were fooled again. After they help the Ministry of Internal Affairs to settle the people of the Thirty-Six Tribes, I will let them study in the academy and let that old guy Lorenzo help me deal with them...
