Chapter 374: Combat Readiness (1)

…Ying tossed down, Di Lin found sadly that he had never been so busy.
Even in the siege of Xie Ye Danlin, facing Almohad’s 70,000 elite environment, every day I worked hard, and I could only face the cold wind, surrounded by the big cloak, lying in the simple command post and sleeping for two or three. Hours, but Lorraine didn't feel as hard as he is now.
Tax matters are not only important, but also extremely cumbersome.
Lorraine had to spend a lot of energy on this every day, because it was related to whether his annual allocation of one million yuan could be properly put in place.
Only the tax was completed beautifully, and Ruman City Finance Department successfully signed for it. Lorraine's appropriation for the next year can be successfully written off on time.
You know, no matter what era. The level of corruption and perverting the law among the civil servants is extremely high. In the brilliant Ming Dynasty, there was even a professional term to specifically refer to this situation.
Drift off. Corruption is not called corruption. In another word, it changes from black income to normal income. For those officials who are proficient in Confucianism, I have to sincerely admire them.
If it weren’t for the good relationship between Baron Rokund and Lorraine, even though he was the adulterer of the eldest princess, the stinking officials below could still use all kinds of fair and honest excuses The appropriation is the last one, more than half a year.
Those excuses, even if Catherine went to check it personally, it was impossible to find any problems.
Therefore, Lorraine had to sit down in person. Center command.
Generally speaking, humans around cities are better.
As long as the tax collector comes to the door, although everyone keeps crying poorly, they are more or less paid back. A little further away. Where the government has weaker control, it will be even worse.
The most troublesome are those elves and dwarves who have opened a few acres of barren fields by themselves.
Those buns only recognize one. The simple truth: I drove the unowned wasteland by myself, and I worked hard with the loess and the back to the sky. I dig mountains and rocks, mine and strike iron. A drop of sweat fell on the ground and threw eight petals. Earn hard by my own labor. Why should I pay you?
It was the tax collectors who had pierced their mouths and said, "All the world, could it be the king's soil, and the lord of the land, could it be the king's minister." But these guys just don't know what to do.
And once they are in a hurry, their spoilers will still grab the tax collectors, and they will be judged righteously.
It's like a father god, mother god, ancestor god, earth or something, and so on. A series of big gods who don't know where to hide before cool off have made their debut.
These great gods are merciful and noble. Invincible or something. The most important thing is that they will not jump from the atmosphere and ask people on the ground to collect taxes.
Anyway, no matter what god, the earth was not created by your Ruman Empire, so why do you collect money for yourself with things made by others? Just one sentence to you: do you want a tax, you have to die, if it doesn't work, let's go to the Governor's Mansion to judge?
Even though they are all the stuffed buns, but at this time, they are all transformed into highly knowledgeable theologians. Talking about the past and the present refers to the world. Taotao's endless debate came down.
Not to mention those tax collectors, even though Lorraine's subordinates are known to be the most outstanding and the most loud, the screaming brick family beast can only be tucked in the teeth and grinning.
Lorraine is not the same as Marquess of Marleyton. Marquis of Marleyton is a standard soldier. Those who dare to resist tax evasion will fight them head-on, and will not tell them if it makes sense.
If you don’t take the initiative to pay taxes patriotically, then we will let you be proactive. All right.
Therefore, those aliens often go to the Governor's Mansion to discuss with the Governor.
And in full view, even though the Marquis of Marleyton was shameless, he couldn't clean them up, he had to be in harmony with them. To be reasonable, the Marquis of Marleyton would be annoying two or three times. Otherwise, he would not ask the emperor for soldiers, and move all those guys to the central area.
Lorraine was before the taxation work began. There was also a special meeting to emphasize to Gretan and other tax officials, "We have to reason with them."
At the meeting, the future head of the empire, Leo Young Master. Leo jumped on the chair and made a profound statement. Wielding his gun, shouting, "This mountain is mine, and this tree is mine. If you want to live in the Ruman Empire, you will leave the tax money. The half-orcs do not pay taxes, so why don't they go to any place? Turn them upside down"
This is full of thinker Jean. Jacques, Rousseau’s great "Social Contract Theory" central idea, and the concise and profound words, immediately won the unanimous praise of the tax workers attending the meeting.
Everyone was excited with tears. Everyone stood up and slapped for five minutes. Then they said that they must carry on the speech of Lei Ou Xiao Duke, and encourage taxpayers and taxpayers to carry out study and practice work, and carry out in-depth implementation. They also praised the hope that Lei Ou Xiao Duke does not lose for the Ruman Empire. It represents The empire keeps advancing, the glorious prospect of constant victory.
%, ten thousand
After Leo conveyed the spirit of taxation, a large number of workers were fighting on the front line of the taxation system. It can be said that I heard the gospel.
You know, in the past, when collecting taxes every year, everyone was extremely hard. It has to be painstakingly popularizing legal knowledge for those buns.
As a glorious imperial tax officer. Everyone strictly abides by the tax officer's instruction manual. One reminder, two scolding, three snatching, four not giving. This leads to the steak house.
In those stubbornly stubbornly look at the body. Wasted a lot of public administrative resources. Six seriously delayed the training of the fox. And it is a great opportunity to go to the sauna, observe the people’s sentiments personally, and mingle with the people.
And now, just convey the words of His Highness Leo intact, and then shake the iron chain in his hand. Most taxpayers will pay taxes obediently. Then he added a grumbling sentence: "Isn't it just collecting protection fees? If you had spoken so thoroughly, it would be over soon?"
What's more, at the same time, Lorraine also fully learned the advanced experience of the US Federal Taxation Department and promulgated the "Land Development Incentive Regulations."
Through the earnest preaching of tax officials, those soil buns knew that if they did not pay taxes, not only would they not be able to get the bonus, but also the land they had just opened would be taken away. So on. It can only be paid obediently.
Therefore, after everyone worked together. teamwork. Although the taxation work this year was trivial, it went smoothly. At least there were no anti-tax demonstrations.
In the final analysis, it was actually the Naian people who had learned well, and they all knew that our governor of Lorraine. Be brave and hard to provoke.
Moreover, there have been rumors that the Governor of Lorraine used his tongue to pick up the land, but he has always been "three feet high in the sky and seven cents thin.
Everyone is also ready to amplify the blood. Now he didn't expect his old man to search, and it didn't seem to be too powerful. On the contrary, everyone secretly rejoiced, so they did not dare to provoke him again. For fear of causing him to get angry, he really started to scrape the ground seriously.
At the same time, the integration of the half-orc tribe is underway.
The Aquitaine completely took refuge in Lorraine and unconditionally chose to attach it, which made Lord Lorraine determined to solve the problem of the half-orcs on the border at one time.
Now that the two parties have reached an agreement. The next important thing is the execution work. When the net starts to execute, the two sides don’t understand each other, and the big people who can make up their minds are all in the city of Nydel. The humans have to ask Lorraine for help in any situation, the half-orcs. Bian also had to ask Gailba to come forward.
In the first two days of the net, there were several conflicts between the two sides, and several cannon fodder died.
Lorraine in order to stabilize the overall situation. Had to throw the messy work at Catherine and Adele. Bringing Gailba and a group of people, the starry night set off, changing horses and not changing people all the way to the southern city of Krony.
Lorraine hurried south, not just to take in the Orcs. General Larry has reminded Lorraine. Originally at this time, the border was full of smoke, and the "autumn hunt" of the half-orcs had already officially started, when the two sides were fighting in full swing.
And this year until now, there hasn't been any movement, only a few dozen orcs-scale harassment, not a team of hundreds of people.
This tranquility before the war further confirmed the news that "half orcs will make big moves."
And the rumors are getting more and more outrageous, like the low pressure before the storm, people can't breathe.
The people in the south are already a little worried, and some wealthy and powerful families have begun to transfer their families to Nydal City. And "Let the leader's mistress go first. Such words have also been shouted.
Lorraine now needs to go down and stabilize the hearts of the people.
In two nights and two days, Lorraine and his party came to the city of Krony as a god. They were such elites as the Imperial Guard. They ran all the way in this way without shock.
Not to mention the other people, Lorraine and the others had been on the carriage for two days. Rao is that the carriage is made with precision, but the whole person is also crisp. The big shaman Gailba's old bones were so suspended, he collapsed weakly on the chair, and kept groaning.
It was Leo, who ate and slept all the way with a large bag of snacks, and he was still very comfortable. Lorraine looked at Leo who was alive and kicking, and for a moment he wondered if he had a kidney problem recently. But only for a moment. Lorraine soon firmly believed that the child must have a high quality of sleep.
General Larry saw Lorraine and the others in the dust. I was shocked, thinking that something serious had happened, and was about to engage in an emergency mobilization of the city.
Fortunately, Lorraine immediately said: "Prepare the room, we want to sleep, if there is nothing big, don’t wake me up. The Guards also all go to sleep, and the following tasks are more important. Get enough energy.
When Kroni City Lord Nosdak gave up all the rooms in his residence, Lorraine did not take off his clothes. When I fell on the bed, I fell asleep to the throne of God Seal.
The cold breath of autumn floated into the room, although it was dawn, there was still a gray mist floating outside like a sarong.
When he woke up, Lorraine felt sore all over his body, so he got up to wash up with strong fighting spirit, and called a meeting early in the morning.
The captains of the Nian Army and the officers of the city defense army quickly gathered together. Looking at the people in the room with armor and swords, and the stubble faces and sweaty people, Lorraine trancefully returned to the board. Ye Danlin's feeling when he joined forces.
General Larry worriedly said to Lorraine: "Our investigative team has penetrated as far as nearly three hundred miles into the grassland, and there is still no trace of large-scale orcs, not only that. Even a slightly larger scale. Of the tribes haven’t met. It seems that the news is true, and the half-orcs have indeed assembled
The officers below also nodded worriedly. The border guards were most afraid of this kind of unknown enemy situation. Too passive.
Lorraine only sighed helplessly. "Although Pinshajin also followed Lorraine to Jingluoni City, he was about to go south from Fangluohoucheng to the Orc Tribe to inquire about the news, but what can he do for him, the goblin Shajin I can't guarantee it myself.
Although Gailba’s official Goblin Shajin is indeed a goblin, there is no doubt about his loyalty. Goblin Shajin once said that
loyalty is also a commodity.
And he thinks Lorraine can still afford it.
Lorraine looked at the people below looking at him with expectant eyes, shrugged, and said: "I can't judge either. My staff, the Great Shaman, Gelba, thinks there are about 120,000 orcs."
"Hiss." There was a sound of air-conditioning in the meeting room. Everyone, including General Larry, looked at each other in disbelief.
"The pile can level the city wall." The officer below muttered with laughter.
Lorraine frowned, staring at the man and sternly said: "What? Are you scared?"
The officer stood up neatly with a huff, and said loudly, "No, my lord, but I have to prepare two more knives. The half-orc skin is too thick and the blade is too thick, otherwise it won't be able to kill."
The officer below coaxed a laugh. The Dongfang Dang Ten Years Regiment has always been arrogant, and the heavenly king and Lao Tzu are all" but they are chased every time.
Whether the Nyan Legion has defeated or wiped out the most powerful warriors of the Orcs several times, teams like the first warrior of the Horde will naturally have a sense of self-confidence when they have won more battles, plus they are familiar with Orcs, even if they hear There are as many as 120,000 people, but they just find it troublesome, not to mention fear.
What's more, they are guarding their homeland and their relatives. They have no reason to retreat. In order to defend all of this, the Nian's Legion will fight bravely regardless of sacrifice, but they are half-orcs. Often when encountering resistance, he hurriedly retreated, and was chased by the Nian's army by his tail.
The officers had such arrogance, of course Lorraine was very satisfied. Nodded solemnly and said, "Very good."
Then Lorraine took off the saber on his waist and slapped it on the conference table. He said loudly: "This sword is my personal gift. This time I fight half-orcs, who kills the most half-orcs? This sword Who belongs to
The sitting officer stared scorchingly at the gorgeous saber on the table. This was the sword Lorraine knocked out in Freetown." Even Catherine would judge it as good, showing the quality of the sword. Lorraine After changing the scabbard, I kept it with me.
Lorraine glanced at the officer below, and said loudly: "Everyone, step up investigations and be on guard. This time is different. The reinforcements are expected to arrive within 20 days, regardless of whether the half-orcs come by 120,000 or 200,000. Old rules, kill them all.
Not only that, after defeating the Orcs coalition this time, we will take the initiative to attack the grasslands. The empire does not hesitate to grant rewards to the empire. This is the time for you to make your achievements, don't let me down. "
The officers' eyes turned red, and it was the dream of every soldier to open up the border and expand the land. As Lorraine said, the Ruman Empire did not hesitate to award rewards, especially these officers, to lay down territory. Fief money. Promoting officials is naturally a matter of course. If it is done well, there will be an honorary title. If it is a legion commander, no matter how beautiful it is, hereditary is also possible.
But this kind of opportunity is not easy to come by. Nian's border has not moved south for two hundred years.
Even General Larry was excited. He knows more than the officers below, knowing that this time he will really get these half-orcs, and according to his position and merit, a hereditary baron can almost get it.
The officer panted heavily and stood up with a loud roar, "Serving the Empire."
Lorraine nodded in satisfaction. He wanted this kind of effect. Lorraine said loudly, "If you go back and tell you, as long as you get rid of this group of half-orcs, we will kill his mother's past God Seal Throne, and there will be meat. For eating, there are girls’ picks, money to get, and land for free. If you’re doing well, you’ll have two shares for the girl and land."
Don't look at people's instability now, as long as the officers pass on the words, the soldiers will feel that these half-orcs are nothing terrible. There was still a site in the back waiting for us to grab it, so we hurriedly beat them to death and robbed them.
Humans are such animals~EbookFREE.me~ It's good to walk into the heart. It is good to talk about greed, but human beings can dominate the mainland and drive other races to the edge of the world. It is the driving force of this greed.
Gelba picked out a few clever half-orcs from the Abendan tribe, and washed off their tattoos. Follow the goblin Shajin back to the grassland.
The goblin Shajin didn't bring anything on this trip, except for a whole ship of salt and gold coins. It is useless on the prairie, but food and salt are the most in demand.
Especially salt, merchants with salt are the only ones on the prairie that can be protected by the tribes.
The goblin Shajin is now like a gambler who "puts all his wealth on the gambling table. Either he will die or be rich and prosperous. He will look like heaven and on his face. Lorraine is secretly worried about whether this guy will work. what?
The goblin did not forget to remind Lorraine several times that he had promised him: if he could bring news from the grassland, Lorraine appointed him as the deputy general manager of the venture capital company.
Then with a stern and determined expression, he said goodbye to Lorraine step by step. Leading a group of armed guards to the vast grassland.
