Chapter 833 The Limitations of History

"Ready Player One in Time and Space ()"

In the next few days, all relevant procedures were completed, and Luo Jie set off in a car escorted by a group of soldiers.

"Esdeath" personally led the hunters to the city gate and solemnly handed the gold family crest to Luo Jie's hand as a token.

"Tazmi, when you get to the fiefdom, just do whatever you want to do. You don't need to take into account anyone's opinion. If there is anyone who goes against you, whether it is a noble or an official, just kill him. Here in the imperial capital I will settle the matter for you."

Lowering his head for a deep kiss, "Esdeath" turned around and mounted his horse, shook the reins and led all the hunters back to the city, walking neatly.

"Chelsea", who had transformed herself into an inconspicuous person, sighed with a strange expression on her face: "Although we are enemies, I have to admit that Esdeath, this woman is really handsome! If you are a man, just say hello to her just now." With what you said, I guess I will probably fall in love with her..."

Luo Jie turned to look at her strangely: "You have only been back in the team for a few days, and you were betrayed by Maillard so quickly?"

"No!" "Chelsea" blushed and argued, "I'm the most normal person in the association, okay! It's not normal for a girl to be attracted to a strong, handsome and affectionate man. ?"

"According to your standards...then you should be attracted to me first, right?"

"You're so thick-skinned. Why are you so handsome?"

"Chelsea" made a face at Luo Jie and stuck out her tongue naughtily.

Luo Jie suddenly grabbed the protruding tongue of "Chelsea" with quick eyes and hands. The girl's eyes widened instantly, and she squatted on the ground and kept spitting.

"Sorry, I suddenly realized that your tongue is quite long. I couldn't help it for a moment..." Luo Jie took out his handkerchief and wiped his wet fingers, and said with a smile: "So, all the powerful and affectionate things are just a cover. You admit it directly. That’s it for you if you’re a Yangou.”

Unlike other members of the Oberg Killer Society, "Chelsea" is not religious and has little respect for Luo Jie, the incarnation of the Oberg god. Coupled with her cheerful and outgoing personality, it is difficult to talk to him at ordinary times. No worries.

Luo Jie also liked this relaxed atmosphere and did not deliberately change anything.

"Don't just put such a dirty thing into my mouth!" "Chelsea" bared her teeth frantically, like an angry little wild cat, "It's not normal for a girl my age to like handsome guys. It’s only one time in girlhood, at least let me keep some beautiful fantasies, right, Taeko?”

"Taeko" was stunned, then suddenly blushed and whispered: "I... think Lord Nightmare is very handsome."

"Chelsea" was speechless and held her forehead. She realized that she had made a mistake and actually forgot that her best friend was the little fan girl in front of her who claimed to be a god.

"It turns out that Taeko's vision is much better than yours." Luo Jie raised his eyebrows at "Chelsea" proudly, then took out a long black sheath knife from the storage space and stuffed it into "Taeko's" hand , reached out and rubbed the long black hair on her head, and said softly: "Here, take it, this is your reward for telling the truth."

"Chelsea" felt a stomachache, her head was pressed against the velvet interior of the car, and she didn't even have the energy to complain.

I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people... Do all so-called "gods" look like this?

With the long knife in her hand, "Taeko" couldn't help but be stunned.

"Lord Nightmare, this...is the Teigu?"

"Yes, this is [March of the Dead: Eight Rooms]. The Teigu originally belonged to the hunter member "Black Eyes", the little girl with short black neck-length hair that I captured last time. "

"Well, thank you, I'll put it to good use for you."

"Taeko" carefully held the long knife to her chest. It was obvious that this [March of the Dead: Eight Rooms] did not repel her.

This is what Luo Jie expected.

[March of the Dead·Eight Rooms] This knife has a strong sense of death, and it is difficult for ordinary people to psychologically accept such an evil knife that controls corpses.

"Taeko" has believed in the god Oberg who is in charge of death since she was a child. Her understanding of corpses and death is fundamentally different from ordinary people. The more lifeless something is, it is equivalent to a sacred object for Oberg's believers. .

Of course, in fact, [March of the Dead, Eight Rooms] is not the most suitable Teigu for "Taeko". What really suits her is an Teigu called "Moonlight Reimai, Wind Blade Sword".

It was owned by a pirate named "Fire Heart" in the "Wild Hound" organization that appeared later. The effect is a vacuum blade that can emit a sword-like effect, and its power will change with the age of the moon. The effect of the full moon reaches The strongest.

However, the organization "Wild Hounds" has not yet appeared, and the pirate leader "Yanxin" probably does not know where he is floating in the sea. For the time being, he can only use "March of the Dead - Eight Rooms" to make a transition for "Taeko".

Even if it is not used to summon corpse puppets, this imperial tool itself is a very sharp sword. Except for the fact that it does not have the instant death curse poison, the other properties are exactly the same as the "Red Eye" [Kill with One Slash·Murasame].

…

The book is short. After more than half a month of long journey, Luo Jie finally arrived at the destination of this trip-Haiqing City.

This is the capital of Taidong Province, the fiefdom of "Esdeath". Judging from the map, it is approximately the location of Qingdao in the real world.

With plains on three sides, the sea on one side, and a natural deep-water port, the geographical location is very advantageous.

It stands to reason that with such good geographical conditions, even if the local governor does nothing to govern, well, that means just living and waiting to die, the lives of the people should not be much different.

But this is not the case.

Along the way, you can see half-clothed children and skinny farmers everywhere. In sharp contrast are the endless green wheat fields, the luxurious mansions of wealthy households in the villages and towns along the way, and the piles of barns.

"I can't stand it anymore!" "Chelsea" angrily pulled up the curtains of the carriage and gritted her teeth: "Master Nightmare, can you allow me to kill a few wealthy businessmen who are unkind to their wealth? They obviously give a little charity casually. You can save a lot of people, but you would rather use the food to feed chickens and pigs. Isn’t human life worth less than livestock?”

Luo Jie, who had been closing his eyes to rest his mind, slowly opened his eyes and said calmly: "Can you change anything by killing them? The family heads you killed, as well as their children, the wealth and food are still not yours to decide. "

"Aren't you the acting lord now? You can deprive them of their property on any charge, and then distribute it to these people! This is what the people at the headquarters did when I was still in the Dove Life Army!"

oh? Are you going to divide the land among the local tycoons? The thoughts of the rebels in this world seem to be very advanced...

"The land is also divided?"

"That's not true. The land is all distributed to the soldiers who have meritorious service in the battle. The property is discounted and used as military expenses. Part of the food is used to support the people, and the other part is used as military rations."

Speaking of what Dove Mingjun did, "Chelsea" didn't think there was anything wrong and acted as if it was natural.

Luo Jie couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Fortunately, he still didn't put aside the limitations of history...

If he really resorted to the idea of ​​dividing the land among local tycoons, he would have no choice but to give up all unrealistic fantasies, immediately terminate the mission and escape from this illusion.

The revolutionary theory of the great teacher is invincible, and all clowns will be shattered to pieces under the iron fist of the people.

"Chelsea, you have to remember that I am here to be a lord, not a rebel... It is not that these nobles and wealthy businessmen cannot be moved, but if they want to be moved, they must have a good reputation."

"Chelsea" had been an auxiliary officer for a period of time, and was familiar with the various rules and constraints in the officialdom. She sighed and sat back in her seat, muttering unwillingly: "That's why I gave up the generous salary and remunerated. Empire, I originally thought about marrying into a wealthy family and becoming a noble lady, but now that I think about it, this naive idea is really ridiculous..."

"Did you learn makeup skills for this purpose?" Luo Jie changed the subject.

"Of course, for a girl like me who comes from a small family, if she wants to marry into a wealthy family, she can't just rely on a pretty face. She also needs arithmetic, riding, social etiquette, cooking, living in the house... Well, in short, she must There’s a lot to learn.”

"Well, I don't believe it. Why don't you demonstrate all of this to me?"

"Bah! Shameless!"

Teasing the angry and beautiful maid, the gorgeous carriage, escorted by more than a hundred private soldiers of the general's palace, gradually approached the towering city wall.

On the road outside the city gate, local prefects and squire representatives were lining up to welcome the arrival of Luo Jie's chariot. The official road, which was spacious enough for several carriages to pass parallelly, was blocked by this welcoming procession with noisy gongs and drums.

"parking."

Luo Jie, being served by "Chelsea" and "Taeko", stepped out of the carriage with great posture. The fat-headed and big-eared squire representatives in front of him all knelt down, and everything in his field of vision was black and white. The top of his head and his high butt.

The only person still standing was the little old man in official uniform at the front of the team.

Luo Jie had read the local official information before coming here and knew that this was the prefect of Hai Qingcheng. He stepped forward and said a few official greetings, then raised his hand to signal the squire representatives to stand up and speak.

Next was the reception banquet arranged by the local government for the arrival of the acting lord. The venue was located at the largest restaurant in the city. Luo Jie smiled and did not refuse. He looked like he was in harmony and allowed the Haiqingcheng prefect to enthusiastically join his hands. .

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, it’s time to relax and unwind for business... Well, it’s a serious kind of big sword. Not even a female fly can be found in the entire bathhouse.

Now almost the entire empire knows that the acting lord is the man of General "Esdeath". Who dares to put a woman next to this man at the risk of his life?

Fortunately, the acting lord put his identity upright and did not make any unrealistic demands on them. The meal was a feast for both the guests and the host.

The following week, Luo Jie and his entourage moved into the newly renovated Lord's Mansion, and lived in seclusion every day. He had no intention of interfering in political affairs, and behaved like the rumored pretty boy who relies on his talents to make ends meet.

This made the officials and squires in Haiqing City who were worried that the acting lord would do the "three things to do when he takes office" really relieved. All kinds of rare treasures were sent to the lord's mansion in trucks, which was quite exciting. I intend to raise Luo Jie as a child.

Luo Jie also accepted all orders.

After lunch that day, "Taeko" dressed in a maid outfit brought after-dinner fruits and news about "Maillard"'s team.

"Lord Nightmare, Sister Maillard and the others have arrived in Haiqing City and are currently staying in the hotel, waiting for your next arrangements."

Calculating the time, it was estimated that they should have arrived. Luo Jie thought for a while and ordered: "Well, let them buy a more remote property in Haiqing City to settle down. I am not sure whether there is "Ace" among the guards outside. Des' eyeliner, it is not suitable to meet directly for the time being... By the way, where is Chelsea? "

"Chelsea is still counting the gifts delivered today in the backyard warehouse. Do you need me to call her over?"

"Well, please ask her to come over. The gifts can be piled there wherever you like."

Not long after, "Chelsea" followed "Taeko" and appeared in the study. Before she could say anything, she gave her an angry look.

"Lord Nightmare, you are so at ease... You are so merciless when accepting gifts, and I am cramping when I point out money. How about changing the world as you promised?"

"Taeko" secretly poked the resentful "Chelsea" beside her, telling her not to complain, but Luo Jie smiled and raised his hand to stop her.

"Changing the world doesn't just happen. UU read www.uukanshu.net" Luo Jie reached out and patted a stack of half-person-high documents on the desktop, "I have been reading the local chronicles of Hai Qingcheng these past few days, and at the same time I’m also thinking about how to change the bleak status quo in the city.”

"Chelsea" rolled her eyes angrily, grabbed the kettle and poured herself a glass of water. While drinking, she said: "Get rid of all those corrupt officials, profiteers and evil gentry. The whole Haiqing City will be He Qing Haiyan—— The question is, do you dare to do this?”

"Of course I dare, but this is meaningless." Luo Jie threw a stack of ledgers in front of "Chelsea", "This is the property register of Taitung Province. Even if concealment is included, this amount of output is It is not enough to feed the people of a province, so Taidong Province needs to purchase a large amount of grain from surrounding grain-producing provinces every year... It is easy to kill the officials and nobles of a province, but without these people, who will transport the grain produced by the salt farm? Who will sell the salt? I bet you that the scene you will see by then will be a hundred times more terrifying than it is now.”

After a pause, Luo Jie suddenly smiled and said, "If you lose, perform your skills in front of me. Do you dare to bet?"

"Bah, shameless!"

"Chelsea" said this and it has almost become a mantra. Fortunately, she has long discovered that the new leader just likes to joke about it and does not really mean to do anything to her. On the contrary, bickering with him like this makes her quite happy. There is a very intimate sense of relaxation.

"Taeko" listened quietly to the conversation between the two, with a hint of envy in her eyes. She mustered up the courage to join the conversation and said: "Then... Lord Nightmare, what are you going to do? ?”

"Increase revenue and reduce expenditure, two-pronged approach."

"Bah, shameless!"

"???"

Is this girl's brain so strange? How come you are like a friend of this book, able to open any broken road?
