Power and Empire Chapter 2365: The Emperor’s Knife (4)
at noon, the sun in May is not hot, and the imperial Kyoto near the sea is refreshing and refreshing.
Tirnarante, wearing a black administrative officer uniform with a green embroidered ring, walked steadily into the lobby of the Empire Ministry of Internal Affairs. There were not many people in the lobby. The sunlight came in through the windows and fell on the ground to form blocks. Spot, a few people in the uniforms of administrative officials sat in other seats, chatting leisurely about what happened in the empire recently,
"I am the administrative officer from the province of Salandvík, Tirronte, I am here to report!"
Tirnarante reported his name, and asked at the reception desk about the time of the afternoon meeting, Tirsat "This is Tirnarante’s new name. Just last year, he had moved from the Nord area The administrative officer of Tihar Port, was promoted to the administrative officer of Weike Province in the northern province of Salander, and with the acquiescence of the fat man, he restored the surname of Tyre, but he can no longer call his original name. For Tirnarante, who died once, this is already very good. This time he was ordered to report to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The specific content is unclear.
Tirnarante saw one of the people chatting, turned his head curiously, glanced at the green ring on Tirnarante's body, and saw that the other party turned out to be four provincial-level green rings. , His face showed a second of astonishment, but he soon turned his head and continued to talk to his companions. This is the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Empire, and the most uncommon one is the administrative officer. The empire is expanding very quickly. In five years, it has expanded. Three to four times, the number of imperial provinces has exceeded one hundred, even provincial-level administrative officials are not very rare here,
" Your Excellency Tirronte, Secretary Burke will meet with you at four in the afternoon. Or else go to the restaurant and wait." At this time, the attendant at the reception desk has checked the roster and pointed out the restaurant respectfully to him He also said, "Although the tea is not rich, it is better than delicious. The chefs are personally selected by Her Royal Highness, so that you can properly reduce your fatigue after you come from afar."
"Okay, the time is up, please remind me!"
Hearing that the meeting was still early, Tirnaland was a little bit peculiar. Coming from the restaurant of the Ministry of Internal Affairs not far from the opposite side, he chose a seat by the window, and he rushed right after he got off the boat. It was indeed early in time, and his heart was toward this meeting. The second minister Burke is the person in charge of personnel transfer in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He was promoted only once last year, and this year should not be so fast! There are only a dozen people in the restaurant. It seems that they came too early like me. However, these people look at their eyes very strangely. Some of them are sitting together, and they also give pointers to Tirnaran. Very unpleasant
Tirnarante ordered a red wine. Stirring gently with his hands, without paying attention to the eyes of those people, he looked out the window. In the northern part of the Europa continent in May, the winter snow has melted, and it is the warmest and most sleepy climate. The golden sunlight is wafting on the shining stone platform, and the blue vines are climbing on the eaves of the street. A faint breeze blew across the wind chimes hung at the door of the shop, alarming the sleeping air. In the sun, the northwest corner of a huge city. There is a huge harbour standing in Weiran, like a long pale gold embankment, bringing a dangling cursor on the horizon,
Tirnarant, who has spent three years in the Great Port in the south of Nord, knows that it is the reflection of the popular metal on the top masts of the Empire’s large merchant ships. They all say that the empire’s maritime trade in Oubaro has far exceeded the empire itself. I didn’t believe it, but this time I entered Imperial Port, a white sail stretched like a sea for more than ten miles, and I couldn’t see the end at a glance. Tilnarante was shocked, thinking that I had been on a boat for half a month before leaving the Empire. When the native land arrives here, Tirnarante feels in a trance
When did the empire have grown to such a huge size, and what I saw was only a corner of this huge empire, how big is the territory of the empire?
"Hello, I’m Phipson from the Hawa region in the north of Congo, don’t you know if I can sit down?" A loud voice sounded, and Tirnarante discovered the person who was talking just now, that name The middle-aged man who glanced at himself came over with a wine glass,
" Of course, I am from... "Tirnarante stood up
" Your Excellency Tyrronte from Weike province in the northern part of Salander, what I just heard! "The middle-aged administrative officer smiled, with a clear Salander accent in his tone
"Your Excellency is also from the Salander area?" Tirnarante was slightly surprised, he did not remember that other colleagues from the Salander area came with me this time
"Is it me? It used to be, because some special reasons are gone." The middle-aged administrative officer has a weird face, and his hearty smile reveals the smell of a soldier.
"Gang is not in the north? Gang is not in the northern legion?" Turnernarante's eyes flashed. He had heard that the Gang Fei northern legion was formed last year, and it hadn’t had time to set up an administrative officer. It happened to hit a large-scale invasion of hundreds of thousands of Central Europe and Baro. Although the Empire finally used this to defeat the Central Europe Allied Forces, the area where the battle was almost completely blank. As a last resort, the Ministry of Internal Affairs temporarily selected officers from the Congolese Army Corps. Serving as a district administrative officer, the so-called government affairs are still in the most basic stage of road construction and leveling.
Some of the soldiers are said to be born in the Salander Expeditionary Force, which was a big trouble in the past, and the middle-aged man in front of him is probably from such a background. It’s no wonder that the other side’s look is so weird, because the expeditionary force Defined by the empire as a rebel army, so the emperors who came from the expeditionary army at the beginning evaded that they were Salanders. This mentality did not matter betrayed their own race, but made changes for their own development. The empire ruled Saran. The fact of Germany has been accepted by most Salanders,
"You know?"
The middle-aged administrative officer who claimed to be Phelps smiled awkwardly, took a sip of the wine in his hand, looked at Tirnarant, smiled bitterly and said, "It's rare to see an administrative officer from Salander, just It would be rude to come here to ask about the current situation of Salander, but not to cause trouble to your Excellency. If there is any inconvenience, I will leave immediately. It is really rude!"
"Why then, everyone is an administrative officer, and proper communication can lead to better development!"
After several years of tempering, the water chestnuts of Tyre’s Patriarch had already been smoothed a lot. Tirnarante smiled slightly and stayed here for a long time. I don’t know the situation of Europa at all, but I can understand some, calmly said, "Sarand’s current situation is still very good. There is no war, and the imperial taxes are not high. The coastal areas have opened ports and there are trade. The place will not starve people to death. Princess Niya is very friendly to civilians, and the north is stable. I dare not say that they are all living well, at least better than during the war! But I am a little surprised. Why do they look at me with weird eyes? "
" It’s nothing, it’s just that the empire’s local government officials are rare, so... Haha! "Phipson grinned with white teeth
"How did they know that I am a local administrative officer?" Tirnarante looked confused, and he signed up at the reception. Could it be that everyone knew so soon?
" The black cuffs on your body are inverted arrow sleeves. This is the uniform of the empire's local administrative officer three years ago. This year’s new uniforms have been removed from the arrow sleeves! "Phipson hit him One was a wink, and continued to say in a slow voice. "Just like when the empire just started to conquer Obaro, the local administrative officials looked down on the administrative officials of the Obaro region and thought they were pioneers. They are now part of the Obaro administrative officials. , There are some political officials who look down on the empire’s homeland"
" Oh? Why? Tirnarante looked surprised. He has always been in the empire, and everyone is a local government official, but he really didn’t realize this.
"Administrative officials of the empire. They called them "Turtles". Phipson's voice paused and said with a calm expression. According to them, the Turtles would not understand the empire's vertical and horizontal movement in the Obaro region. , I don’t understand the greatness of the Empire’s war of conquest"
"You must know that the empire has been calmed down, and the administrative officials are in charge of regional government affairs. Development, agriculture, etc.. They are the guardians of the empire and are not very powerful in terms of power." . He lowered his voice and said, "In Oubaro, most of the administrative officials are half soldiers. The administrative officials have a certain regional army, are the conquerors of the occupied territories, and are the swords and swords of the empire. How can the spirits of both sides be possible? Similarly, if the local officials of the empire are guard dogs, they are the wolves guarding the spoils."
"Do you know the reason for this meeting? "Philson was born out of the Second Army, so he obviously knew some inside information in advance
"It should be about personnel transfer!" Tirnarante said hesitantly
" Are you only half right?" Phipson shrugged his shoulders, his eyes gleaming and said, "The empire is about to conquer Fei Shan. I heard that it has reached the eastern coast of the Inland Sea. In the north, the long wall In addition, it expanded thousands of miles in one winter. How big is the empire now? Even we political officials may not be able to tell, because many places are still occupied by the army, and political officials wait until the war. After calming down, I went in for the second wave"
" According to internal sources, this time the Ministry of Internal Affairs transferred 150 administrative officials from the 100 provinces of the empire, and it was agreed to give these new Pingding districts."
"One hundred and fifty people! There are so many!" Tirnarante’s excitement was swept away, and he thought there might be another promotion. It seems that the possibility of transfer is relatively high
" Among the one hundred and fifty people, half of them should be left! "Philson asked the waiter for another steak. It looks like a good appetite." I heard that there are only eight gaps in the province. There are more than 70 or 80 at the regional level. Of course, there are differences in hypertrophy."
" The area close to the northern long wall is naturally the most barren area. Most of the wild land has just been opened up. The population is not large. The area in the south of the empire is the best, and the area close to the coast is the best. The northern part of the Inland Sea is the control area of the empire. The prosperous maritime trade drives the vigorous development of the entire coastline. These areas are much easier to develop. The population and resources will naturally be concentrated. As an administrative officer, use a little bit of power to protect yourself. Family business is also enough to bring a lot of dividends"
"Your Excellency is from Salander, it is most likely to be placed in the south!"
Phipson blinked, and said mysteriously, "And I heard that in the location of this release, there is also the southern province of Lisbon, which is the richest place in the empire. People who go there, It must be the confidant of His Majesty the Emperor, so everyone is eagerly waiting to see who can get such trust from the Emperor!"
"Lisboa!"
Tirnarante is already a little bit astonished. Even if you are on the mainland of the empire, the largest trading port in the southern part of the empire is still very relevant. I heard about the taxation of a region in Lisbon. It’s enough to feed the 500,000 Emperor* team. What is the concept... The last person in charge of the Lisbonto region was the military general Varisian who had been promoted to the governor of the Feshan region. Indulge in Lisbon? No way! This is too ridiculous, even though Tirnarante has unlimited illusions about this meeting. But I didn’t imagine it to be so outrageous.
" There is another news. I don’t know if you know." Phipson looked serious this time. He looked around before whispering, "The emperor has entered the northern wall, our boss, also It is Miss Berrant Bonnie, the commander of the Second Army of Congo. It has already passed! I heard that the emperor returned to Beijing this time to prepare for negotiations with the six southern countries!"
"Six Nations Negotiations!" Taking a sip of the red wine, Tirnarante's heart is really like 10,000 horses trampled over. From the bottom of his heart, his resentment towards the Vecchia Falcon is gone. Vicia Falcon did not retaliate against the Tyre family after occupying Tyre. The two sides are not immortal enemies. Although there is a little jealousy, Tirnarant has to admit that he is compared with the Vicia Falcon. , The gap is so big that the distance between the torch and the sun
My own war with the Vickia Falcons, now looks like a joke, my biggest thought is to cheer up the Tyre family. In the troubled times, it's just to win the guardian of the south of Vicia. Let's take a look at what the Vicia Falcon has done, the Vicia united war. The united war in Iskava is now a war of conquest against the entire Obaro.
Although people have been staying in the empire, Tirnarante still knows the scale of some empire conquest wars. The empire has launched no less than ten times in a few years. There are even millions of troops, millions of troops have been swept away by the Vicia Falcon. The two empires were beaten and collapsed, and now they are simply suppressing the six nations' demands for negotiation. Although I don't know which six countries are, but it sounds like it is quite enough. Compared with that, I am a small Tyre, what is it!
At this time, the door of the restaurant was pushed open, and a middle-aged man dressed in the costume of an official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs walked in panic. His hair was a little bald and his face was ruddy and shiny. The entire restaurant suddenly fell silent. Gathered on this middle-aged man, but the middle-aged man’s eyes fell on Tirnarante, and he hurriedly walked over and asked, "Your Excellency Tirronte?"
"Yes, I am Tyrronte!" Tirnarante looked at the middle-aged man in confusion, nodded, and the surrounding silence indicated that this middle-aged man should be an official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs
"Well, isn't the meeting with Undersecretary Burke at four o'clock in the afternoon?" Tilnarante thought that the other party might be the adjutant of the great figure in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and so on. He tidied his collar and looked at Glancing at the clock hanging on the wall, at 1:40 in the afternoon, the red arrow on the pendulum stubbornly reminded the time. This time...Does the second Secretary Burke want to see himself? And Phipson, who was opposite him, also stood up at this time, with an extremely nervous expression on his face. He was torn off the napkin in a panic. The middle-aged man's gaze swept across like a knife, completely ignoring him
"Meeting with Deputy Chief Burke? No need!"
The eyes under the eyebrows of the middle-aged man have an indescribable luster, which seems to be a bit surprised, shocked, and even makes Ternarant feel a kind of flattery. The middle-aged man took out a document from his arms and handed it over. To Tirnarante, with a very kind smile, said
"The meeting has been cancelled. This is a new appointment given to you by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The carriage is ready, don’t delay, let’s go right away!" The restaurant is full of the sound of glass shattering. No one has ever seen it. It’s a cold face, the undersecretary Burke, who is said to be ruthless, can still have such a kind smile
" Oh my god, this dream is so horrible, let's wake up right away! "Philson next to him looked stupid, and he squeezed his thigh with his fingers.
Tirnarante was sent to the carriage for no apparent reason, sitting in the speeding carriage towards the north gate of the Imperial Palace, Tirnarante opened the appointment book in his hand, and his gaze swept over, suddenly feeling dizzy. , With the most unlikely name written on it, Lisboa, turned out to be Lisboa's district administrative officer! why! Tirnarante still wants to ask like this in his heart~IndoMTL.com~ It is absolutely impossible to get such an important position just by relying on his unclear relationship with the Wikiah Falcon. It is the Wikia Falcon crazy. Are you crazy?
Emperor Beijing’s north gate, the tall gate, the carriage finally stopped, and a man pulled the car door and walked in and sat on the opposite side of Tirnarant. He stretched his waist without evasiveness. The whole person was like It is a hibernating bear curled up on the leather sofa "It's really tired. If there is any problem, wait until I wake up."
"Why did you appoint me?
Tirnarante looked at this uninvited guest, with blood in his eyes, he knew that this guy must have a conspiracy,
" I said and didn’t answer, it’s too much to take your ride to the south! "The fat man on the other side shrugged his shoulders and lay on the sofa regardless,
The news that the emperor is going back to Beijing came back yesterday. Many people think that the emperor has just entered the northern long wall, but no one thought that the emperor had already arrived in the capital and took a bath and changed it. A comfortable suit,
It’s really because the Imperial Palace’s cover up is so good. This morning, Princess Maomao Naqing, who was in charge of the internal affairs of the empire, personally took the crown prince towards the northern wall. Princess Swadian and Princess Nord also scrambled. I hurried to go, even the emperor’s lover Berant Bonnie also went, who dare to say, the emperor is not in the direction of the long wall
