Power and Empire Chapter 78: Great cleaning (2)
Sent away Lidastorf who came to inform the informant, the fat man’s head was chaotically filled with a mass of paste, and a sense of exhaustion flooded like a tide
"Why is this? Is this my destiny?"
Fatty finds himself being pushed around by a pair of invisible big hands, he is always inadvertently overwhelmed by sudden incidents,
Independence of Vadin, Djerber Castle goes south, the intervention of the Dardanelles
Anything here is comparable to inserting a knife in the back of oneself, and being unintentionally resolved one by one by one's own good luck, all the way to the present, it is definitely the result of character luck.
But the favorite Kurondi Enya disappeared without a trace under his nose, and this had to make the fat man ask himself
"How long can my good luck last?"
If it weren’t for the accidental thought of coming to Japan, the army of Djerber Fort would have settled in their back garden long ago. What else can I do besides jumping in the fortress of Samor? "
A dark arrow is always harder to hide than an open gun,
How many prominent figures in history have conquered their opponents, but they were shot over by the dark arrows coming from behind
Now that my power is getting bigger and bigger, there will be more and more conspiracy eyes staring at me
"Can I avoid this time, can I avoid the next time?"
Fatty thinks of this, his body is chilly, and his heart feels horrified.
For complex and difficult problems, fat people never want to spend time and energy thinking too much,
But this time, the fat man had to consider an important question
"I can't catch it like this anymore, I have to build an intelligence network that can protect myself"
That night, the fat man found Caesar Sauron who had just returned to Zivadin
"My lord, do you want to build an intelligence network covering the south?"
Caesar Sauron heard the fat man’s proposal, his eyebrows frowned, and he saw his hopeful look. It seemed that the fat man didn’t know what it meant to build such a huge intelligence network, so he had to warn carefully
" My lord, building a complex and huge intelligence network is a very costly task. Not only does it cost millions of gold coins to buy the confidants of lords from all over the world, but it also cannot guarantee that the information we get is absolutely reliable and true, even if we find out. The other party betrayed us, and we can’t do anything about it. It’s easy to buy a person, but it’s difficult to buy someone from the South. It’s really not a wise thing to do so!"
"It costs millions of gold coins every year! Such a large sum of money, I can’t get it even if I smash the pot and sell the iron"
The number in Caesar Sauron’s mouth made the fat man tremble in fright,
Some time ago, the fat man made a lot of savings by looting the Khugit’s treasures and scraping the property of the Riwadin nobles. However, except for military rewards, land development, and weapon forging, there are now only two hundred left. Lai million,
The money is said to be not too much, and it is said that it is not too much, and it is all used to build an intelligence network, and it can last for up to three years.
"This is simply killing chickens and getting eggs! Three years later, I am a pauper who can't pay for the army"
The fat man calculated his family background with his fingers, the more he calculated his face, the whiter his face, and his mouth muttered to himself
"I thought it was a big rich man, he was about the same as a small country landlord! I can't live this day"
This year’s tax will not be collected until the autumn, and there are still four months left. For this year’s tax fat man, I don’t expect this year. In order to relocate a large number of refugees, Samor has adopted the method of paying grain deduction tax
This year, there has been a turmoil. Even the big smugglers like Lidastorf have been arrested. Who dares to run around doing business, can predict that the income of the three counties will never exceed 300,000 gold coins.
Except for the wealthy Fort Djerber that was just occupied, the other two counties are okay if they want to get some food. They want gold coins. That is a dream. If you want to pretend to be a robber and grab a nobleman, you can’t find the target
"300,000? Even if I don’t eat or drink, I can’t afford it for three months!"
I don’t know, the world is amazing
The financial constraints of the territorial finances made the fat man bow his head in frustration,
My own whimsy was rejected by the demon Caesar Sauron, which made the fat man very depressed
"Caesar Sauron, to be honest, can't we just do nothing?"
Caesar Sauron shook his head helplessly, hesitated in his mouth
"Unless we have a high reputation and reputation, or can attract the support of some local lords! This way we can build an alliance and form a regional information network"
"Fame, prestige? This thing is almost ignorable to myself, it is good to be a warlord without being scolded"
Fatty blinked his eyes, his face sighed helplessly, and waved his hand at Caesar Sauron
"Go down first, I want to think about it again!"
The fat man who sent Caesar Sauron out of the hall inadvertently raised his head, and saw that the outside half of the sky was red with bright light, and his face turned pale,
"When did the city catch fire? Why didn't I receive the report!"
Only since the time when Corondinya appeared, the fat man was particularly upset about the slowness of the news report, and angrily asked the guard at the door
The guard was made inexplicably by the fat man’s anger, and hesitated and didn’t know how to answer
Caesar Sauron by his side raised his head, followed the fat man’s eyes, saw the red light in the distant sky, smiled
"My lord has misunderstood, it wasn't that there was a fire somewhere, did my lord forgot Shili Changhong Street, have you changed the night? It's just the lights of Shili Changhong Street!"
Fatty raised his head and carefully looked at the sky that was dyed red by the flames in the distance. He found that it was indeed the direction of the southeast business district of Jivadin, and touched his head with embarrassment.
"There have been too many things recently, I am so busy, as the lord of Zivadin, I haven’t even seen the night of the legendary city that never sleeps. It’s really a shame. It’s so nice to have you as a guide today, let’s go , Accompany me to see the night in Rivadin"
In addition to Caesar Sauron this time, the fat man only asked the captain of the guard, Saran, to select four sturdy and capable guards to follow with him, all dressed in casual clothes.
The Southeast Business District was originally not very far from the city lord’s mansion that Fatty set up on Noble South Street. With the Southeast Business Street as the dividing line, the dark night was divided into two halves here.
Fatty’s carriage cannot pass at the intersection of Commercial Street, and the crowd in front of it blocked the intersection strictly
Tonight is the traditional midnight festival in Jivadin. The flow of people is three times more than before, so the fat man was frightened by the sudden red sky.
Hundreds of thousands of residents of Vadin City seem to have all come out tonight, densely crowded in the streets, and the wide streets where four horse-drawn carriages were used in the past are also narrow and crowded
The hustle and bustle can be heard even by a fat man who is still a street away
"My lord, let's get out of the wagon! If you want to see the city that never sleeps, you still have to go"
Caesar Sauron first opened the carriage door, and the fat man stepped out of the carriage, and the noise from all around came like a tide
The lively and noisy scenes let the fat man watch it.
The young woman holding the child on the street, the pretty girl walking hand in hand, the brightly lit shops on both sides stretched out to the distance, like a little bit of stars, the endless stream of people shuttled in and out, without seeing the end,
On the high platform by the roadside, funny clowns with white faces are shouting vigorously. In the melodious and lively sound of Satis Huqin, the dancing girls are like dancing butterflies, attracting cheers from below
The brightly-paced notes in the roadside pub teases the nerves of passers-by. There is no summary here at night. Tonight, the citizens of Vardin will have a carnival until dawn.
"The ten-mile long red street, don’t set the sun at Vardin!"
Looking at the bustling downtown around him, the fat man feels like a dream
All this is so familiar and so strange
It’s just modernity replaced by ancient times~ IndoMTL.com~ I am no longer myself
I don’t know how long I have been walking, Caesar Sauron suddenly pointed to a fork not far away, and smiled with a warm face
"Master, follow this road to Shili Changhong Street, which is the essence of the entire Riwading! It would be a shame if you don't go to see it."
Fatty's face hesitated for a while, the red light at the fork was obviously much dimmer than here, but it was also more beautiful, and occasionally I could hear the voice of enchanting and charming women over there, and the delicate and charming people's hearts were itchy
"Shili Long Red Street?"
Fatty is not stupid, such a distinctive name, as long as a man can guess it, but nobody picks it out, it is probably the same as the ancient Chinese Shili Qinhuai night.
"Go or not? This is a problem"
Any virgin will hesitate when facing this temptation,
Fortunately, Fatty is a virgin in this life, but not in his previous life. He quickly made a decision that any man would make
"Let’s go, let’s go and see, as the owner of Zivadin, we should pay more attention to people’s livelihood"
Fatty nodded firmly, the monkey anxiously walked to the dark red place first
"Focus on people's livelihood! Whoring brothels is about people's livelihood"
Hearing what the fat guy said, Caesar Sauron was speechless
"People can't be shameless to this point!"
This is definitely the first time the fat man has visited a brothel in this world (the author guarantees). For what the brothel in this world looks like, the fat man is really looking forward to it,
Meng Sao’s character is undoubtedly revealed, and the fat and trembling body walks and runs, there is no such thing as the hesitant appearance just now
"Come on, come on, Fat Master, I have a gun, I am not afraid of anything, let me be caught by the beautiful legs!"
