Chapter 104 I Want to Be the Chief Assistant of the Cabinet
Two days later, cut the world of the red pupil, the imperial capital, the south gate.
At the huge gate of the city, all kinds of people and carriages shuttled in and out. There are coachmen driving carriages, hunters carrying wild animals into the city for sale, and nobles dressed in gorgeous clothes going out to play in the city...
Even the huge explosions and rising flames that I kept thinking about the night before did not affect the daily work of the people in the imperial capital. Instead of worrying about when those explosions will fall on your head, you might as well think about how to fill your stomach next. The explosion may fall on me, but that is in the future. If I don't work today, the whole family will starve.
"Is this the imperial capital? It's really majestic!" A man couldn't help sighing as he looked at the magnificent city wall more than 20 meters high.
Men's facial features are very correct, giving people a sense of justice. Black hair and black eyes, wearing a dark blue jacket, with a strange knife hanging from his waist. On the back is a huge cloth bag with "Fish Market" written on it. There are two holes in the cloth bag, and a huge fish head comes out of it.
My name is Will, and I was originally from the Imperial Navy. Two days ago, I was called up by the Imperial Special Security Forces. So I changed from a navy stationed in the sea area to a member of the special security force at the center of imperial power, which should be regarded as a promotion.
Will glanced down at himself, the jacket that looked old-fashioned in the eyes of others.
Although this is my first time in the imperial capital, I don't lose a lot, so I put on my coolest clothes.
Then Will looked at the sea fish in the snakeskin bag behind him.
I also brought seafood from the sea, as a gift for my new teammates, to ensure that each one is the best. But I don’t know if it’s because I’m superstitious, but I always feel that people around me are staring at me.
The people around looked at Will's attire and whispered to the people next to him.
"Dressed in good soil, you can tell that you are a country bumpkin at a glance."
"Well, redneck..."
"A hick, indeed."
Will carried a large bag of sea fish to the gate of the city, and took out his call-up order. Seeing the call-up order, the soldiers instantly became extremely enthusiastic, and the contemptuous gazes of the people around them disappeared instantly.
"The people in the imperial capital are really strange." Will felt that the eyes around him disappeared, and he said to himself. Then take out the map and follow the route indicated inside.
Along the way, Will was dazzled by the various things in the imperial capital that were different from the seaside. The elegantly dressed nobles, the bungalows carved with various patterns, the exquisite carriages, and the food exuding strange fragrances all made him feel very novel.
"This intersection is turning right." Will looked up at the map while checking the surrounding scene.
At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
"This gentleman..."
Hearing the sound, Will turned his head and saw a black-haired man dressed as an artist wearing a beret and holding an easel.
"Excuse me, can you be my model for once?" Wu Feng smiled slightly.
"Me?" Will pointed to himself, a little in disbelief.
Wu Feng nodded, and praised: "Yes, Mr. is handsome, and he is a natural model at first glance. The moment I saw you, I suddenly had a burst of inspiration. I think I can draw a painting that will be handed down from generation to generation."
Hearing this, Will's face straightened, and he added 50 favorability to this strange painter, and said, "Of course it's okay, but I have something urgent right now, can we continue this handed down work after I'm done."
"Of course." Wu Feng smiled and nodded, "I draw here every morning, noon and evening. If you finish your work, you can come here to find me. Of course, please be my model, I will give corresponding remuneration."
Sure enough, there are still people in the imperial capital who know how to appreciate me.
Afterwards, Will said goodbye to the painter who suddenly spoke to him, and then continued to walk to the location of the special security forces.
Looking at his leaving back, Wu Feng still maintained that gentle smile, took out the paintbrush in his hand, twisted it lightly, and said, "Teigu made Will enter the imperial capital."
At the same time, there are pioneers secretly observing the densely populated places in the imperial capital, such as city gates, transportation hubs, commercial streets, hotels, and hotels. Some of them disguised themselves as businessmen, some as bartenders, and some as coachmen. Even under the money offensive of the Blazers, every guard at the city gate has a Blazer.
Under the governance of Minister Hornest, the strongest undercover agent of the Revolutionary Army, the entire imperial capital, from the central officials to the city gate guards, all look up to "Qian". As long as the money is in place, you can become a city gate guard chief from an ordinary person.
Of course, the possibility of being exposed as the chief guard of the city gate is too great, so the pioneers only serve as some small captains inside, and these small captains are enough for the pioneers to use their powers to transport various weapons in. The neutron bomb scavengers were transported in by the pioneers using their authority, and at the same time they also established secret strongholds throughout the imperial capital.
Under the secret control of the Eastern Xia Empire, a huge stage was slowly built, and the main characters in the original plot appeared ahead of schedule.
In the next few months, unless necessary, the Eastern Xia Empire will not make any further moves, leaving this stage of the imperial capital to all parties, allowing them to perform to their heart's content. After all the main characters appear on the stage, the Eastern Xia Empire will launch the swarm battle plan, assassinate the mission targets and collect the Teigu from them.
At the same time, the Eastern Xia Empire also intends to use these few months to stabilize the cults and crypt monsters that have emerged in the ten countries of the Goblin Slayer world as soon as possible, and then allocate a legion of troops to occupy the world.
For the Eastern Xia Empire, the world of cutting the red pupil is very important. Although there are many dangerous species of the fifth class and even the sixth class in this world. But at least there is no god in this world, no dice of fate. The Eastern Xia Empire intends to build this world into a second home of the Great Xia as the way out.
…………
When he came to a white building, Will confirmed the information on the map and the shape of the building before walking inside. Come to a door on the 2nd floor.
Standing at the door, Will secretly cheered himself up and said: First impressions are very important, show your momentum to Will.
Then he reached out and grabbed the doorknob, pushed the door open and entered.
click.
"Hello everyone! I'm from the Imperial Navy..." Will's voice stopped abruptly when he saw the scene inside.
There are various exquisite decorations in the room, and there is a large rectangular table in the center of the room. At this time, there was already a strong man beside the table, sitting there upright.
The strong man's face was completely covered by a strange white turban, his upper body was naked, and there was a big scratch on his front.
Hearing the sound, the strong man slowly turned his head. Looking into the eyes of this strong man gave Will a creepy feeling.
"Sorry! I went the wrong way." Will took a step back and quickly closed the door.
Snapped!
Outside the door, Will breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Could this be the interrogator's room?"
Then he took out the map again and said, "The assembly point is the meeting room of the special security force?"
Will looked up again at the top of the door, [special security force meeting room]
"I didn't go wrong?"
Wait, that means that weird guy is my future teammate? ! Will opened his mouth wide, looking unsure of himself, and complained wildly in his heart.
As expected of the imperial capital, the clothes of the strong are different, and even the pirates' clothes are more normal than him these days!
After calming down, Will pushed open the door again, walked in cautiously, quickly came to the table, pulled out a chair and sat down.
Anyway, don't provoke him yet.
Strong man: stare at——
Why has he been staring at me since just now? !
Just when Will was in fear, the door was opened again and a girl walked in.
The girl is about 14 or 15 years old, looks very cute, wears a black pleated skirt, holds a long knife in her right hand, and a bulging small cloth bag in her left hand.
Seeing the girl, Will was refreshed, it's great, it's an ordinary girl!
Heitong glanced at the two of them, then came to the table, put the small cloth bag with [Heitong's snacks] on his left hand on the table, pulled out the chair and sat down.
"Bite, bite, bite..." Hei Tong picked up the biscuit in the cloth bag and ate it silently.
Will stood up slowly, came to the girl, and said with a smile: "Hello, you should have been recruited into the special security force, right? My name is Will, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Heitong quickly put the cloth bag into his arms, looked at Will warily with a pretty face, and said, "These snacks belong to Heitong, and I won't give them to you."
ah! It turns out that she is also a bit weird! Will didn't say anything more, took two steps back, and returned to his seat with a dejected look on his face.
Looking at these two strange teammates, Will felt that his future work would be very difficult.
A few minutes later, the door opened again, and a woman with brown hair tied into a long ponytail, with very regular features and a white puppet walked in.
"Hi, everyone! I'm Sailiu Ubiquitas." Sailiu straightened his back, raised his right hand and placed it next to his temple, and gave a military salute with a bright smile on his face.
Before everyone could react, they stepped aside and spilled the roses in their hands.
"Fashion Doctor, I'm ready!"
As soon as the words fell, a man in a white coat walked in with roses.
"Pay attention to the first impression, this is the cultivation that fashionable men should have." The fashion doctor pinched an orchid finger in his right hand, and glanced around the room.
ah ah! I always feel that this teammate is sissy, maybe it's a human monster? !
As if hearing Will's inner complaints, Dr. Fashion fixed his eyes on him, and said, "Oh, this little guy looks like a bumpkin, but his face is so handsome, I really want to fuck him, Please teach me more in the future."
"Ah..." Will opened his mouth wide, and now he wants to give this ladyboy a noble chariot.
This ladyboy seems to have taken a fancy to me, so it's provocative, right? If I beat him into a cake now, it shouldn't be a problem, right? !
Before Dr. Fashion and Seleu Ubiquitas sat down, another person walked into the room, this time a very handsome blond man.
The blond man held a thick book and said with a gentle smile on his face: "It seems that I am the last one. Hello everyone, my name is Lan."
This should, maybe, be a normal person, right?
Afterwards, the burly man who hadn't spoken just now, Porus from the Empire's burning army, made tea for everyone. After introducing themselves to each other, the atmosphere was no longer as stiff as before.
Fashion glanced at himself, and beside him was the black-haired girl who kept eating small biscuits.
Drugs that suppress potentiating agents? If this continues, the girl's body should not last a year. This kind of strengthening potion is really old-fashioned, and it doesn't fit my aesthetics.
Fashion just took a look and guessed the girl's physical condition and the medicine contained in these biscuits. He had heard a little about the assassination troop in the imperial capital, but he didn't expect that the assassination troop's method of strengthening the human body was so crude.
If this girl is transformed by him, he can guarantee that the girl's body will be strengthened to the extreme, and it will not be as powerful as this strengthening potion, causing the user to suffer unbearable pain for ordinary people.
At this time, everyone looked up at the door at the same time, and a terrifying coercion came from outside the door.
Estes pushed the door open, looked at the assembled six Teigu envoys, and said, "It seems that everyone is here."
All the six Teigu envoys recruited from various departments of the empire were assembled, and the special security force was established.
Next, under the guidance of the Eastern Xia Empire, they will soon fight against the night attack.
The trajectory of the world has returned to its original position again, but the actors of all parties have exchanged positions.
Tazmi, who was supposed to be a hero against the Empire, has instead become the Sword of the Empire. Joining the night raid are two supposedly dead hometown pals who will soon swing their weapons at their erstwhile childhood playmates for their stand.
………………
Goblin Slayer World, Intelligence Department, Office of the Head of Intelligence Department.
The head of intelligence, Zhuoma Santana, used the computer to look through the information on various recent major events, such as the residence of the high elves, the location of the monster cave, and the annihilation of the cult.
At this time, a window popped out suddenly, and Dolma Santana clicked in. This was the latest information sent to the military.
Although this is the data of the military department, the intelligence department is connected to the databases of other departments, and can view the databases of other departments at any time.
This also gave Dolma Santana, the head of intelligence, the right to view all intelligence except for the Trailblazers, except for special intelligence. Generally, he can see all the information transmitted back at the first time.
"The special security force of the imperial capital was established? That means the next owner of the Teigu: Dimensional Phalanx (Shangri-La) will soon return to the imperial capital."
Zhuoma Santana crossed out the information, and then clicked on the special talent file.
[Fashion]: Age: about 28 years old, height: 190cm, interest: research.
A genius scientist with homosexual tendencies, his dream is to be able to manufacture equipment like Teigu.
Teigu: God's Hand (Perfect) "Student Emperor, Pocket, and 6 Kinds of Wood" Song Min Na So Beer
"This is a genius who is equal to Dr. Bell Kevin in terms of the human body. The knowledge in his mind is likely to allow the empire to break through the existing technological bottleneck."
Dolma Santana clicked on another person's file, 【Doteya】.
"This alchemist's method of prolonging life is also very important to our country. I hope that the swarm operation plan will go smoothly, or that the night attack will be like the information given by the system, and the palace will be stormed to kill Minister Ernest."
After closing these two special files, Dolma Santana turned his gaze back to the files he had read just now.
[Resource Distribution File]: Huge Mine Cave
Located in the Iron Furnace Kingdom of the dwarves, there are countless earth-type monsters living in the giant mine cave, and there are also huge mineral resources that cannot be counted.
A month ago, a resource exploration team from the Eastern Xia Empire came here, intending to count the types and reserves of minerals contained in this cave.
However, this statistic directly frightened the intelligence department and the logistics department responsible for collecting various resources. Except that no oil has been found, it contains all the minerals needed by human industrial civilization, such as iron, gold, silver, platinum, vanadium, manganese and so on. Not only the variety is complete, but also the quantity is concentrated and the quality is excellent.
It is an exaggeration to say that it is like a periodic table of elements is buried here. If you draw a circle within 100 kilometers, you will have everything if you tap on the next step.
With the help of many magicians from the Ten Kingdoms of Order, most of the construction of roads and railways in the Eastern Xia Empire has been completed. Now that the major detected mines have started construction, countless people from the ten countries have been attracted by the richness of the Eastern Xia Empire. Became a glorious miner of the Eastern Xia Empire and contributed to the resource development of the empire.
At the same time, as the Eastern Xia Empire continued to import a large amount of grain to the ten countries, the market was saturated or even overflowing, and the crops of the bottom farmers could not be sold. A large number of farmers were unemployed. Before these farmers could make trouble, the Eastern Xia Empire quickly stood up and provided jobs for these farmers as the suzerain state.
Until today, in the three human kingdoms alone, nearly 5 million people have joined the resource development project of the Eastern Xia Empire. These 5 million people accounted for 80% of the population of the three major human kingdoms, and even as the adventurers lost their jobs, the proportion would rise to 90%.
Most of them have joined two departments respectively, mineral resource development and transportation network construction. In the future, the Eastern Xia Empire plans to send a large number of personnel to carry out professional education. While importing Daxia culture to them, it will also teach them some basic industrial knowledge so that they can truly become cheap industrial labor.
At this time, the Eastern Xia Empire has firmly held the Ten Kingdoms in its palms. Even if the upper echelon of the Ten Kingdoms wakes up, they will still be unable to break free from the control of the Eastern Xia Empire.
At the same time, the ten kings also knew that their country would be slowly eroded, but they did not rise up to resist. The ten kings did not resist, mainly because they realized two things.
The first thing is that the absolute force displayed by the Eastern Xia Empire made them despair. During this period of time, the missiles of the Eastern Xia Empire kept rising, coming out of the ground like sharp swords, strangling all the monsters like a tide. When seeing this scene, the ten kings knew that even if the whole country supported him to rise up and rebel against the Eastern Xia Empire, they had no chance of winning.
The second thing: everyone is tired, which is the main reason. The ten countries don't know how long they have been fighting, it may be 10,000 years, or it may be 20,000 years. The long war finally came to an end, and peace finally came to the Ten Kingdoms. For all the people of the Ten Kingdoms, all they want now is a peaceful life, no matter who rules them.
The Eastern Xia Empire provided them with a large amount of food, making the famine that had become the norm a thing of the past. The Eastern Xia Empire provided them with all kinds of exquisite clothes and all kinds of interesting story books, which enriched their boring lives. Under the deliberate creation of the Eastern Xia Empire, the people of the ten countries lived a life full of food and clothing, which was a life that was unimaginable before.
Faced with this situation, the ten kings stood up and said that resisting the Eastern Xia Empire was tantamount to destroying the interests of everyone in the entire country, and no one would support them.
The current situation in the Ten Kingdoms is roughly like this: the upper class began to take pride in the various luxury goods produced by the Eastern Xia Empire. The vast majority of the bottom class worked for the Eastern Xia Empire, received wages from the empire, and relied on the empire to support their families.
Everyone eats food produced by the Eastern Xia Empire; wears clothes that say "I love Da Xia"; all kinds of daily necessities also slowly become produced by the Eastern Xia Empire;
Even their currency system began to slowly change, from the original metal currency to the [Xiayuan from another world] printed by the Eastern Xia Empire.
…………
The Eastern Xia Empire, the imperial capital, and the Tianque Building.
Li Zhiguo is thinking about how to make the most of this incident, to slash these capitalists, and at the same time fulfill his political aspirations.
At this time, an electronically synthesized female voice sounded.
[His Excellency the Prime Minister, a communication from the Labor Party's Chao Kede]
What does the leader of the Labor Party, Zhao Kede, want me to do?
"Connected." Li Zhiguo said.
The next moment, a virtual screen appeared in front of him. On the screen was a middle-aged man with gray temples and meticulously dressed.
Seeing that the communication was connected, Zhao Kede took the lead and said, "Your Excellency, what exactly do you want to do? His Majesty gave you special investigative powers, just asking you to beat those capitalists and congressmen who have crossed the line."
"Don't you think what you've been doing lately has gone a little too far?"
During this period, Li Zhiguo took advantage of the special investigative powers given to him by the emperor. A thorough investigation of all officials, congressmen, and capitalists was conducted like crazy. Especially officials, batch after batch were arrested and thrown into prisons, and young and promising officials replaced them one after another.
The outside world can only see the determination and strength of the Eastern Xia Empire's anti-corruption campaign, but all the upper-level personnel in the system can see that Li Zhiguo is using this incident to eliminate dissidents!
As long as a little investigation is done, it can be found that almost all of the newly appointed officials are the 100,000 babies raised by the royal family back then. Those congressmen who were arrested were also those who voted against and abstained during the second trial of the "Amendment Act on the Emperor's Powers".
Although Zhao Kede knew that Li Zhiguo was the prime minister introduced by the previous emperor, he would definitely use this incident to seize power for the royal party. But he didn't expect that Li Zhiguo's methods would be so strong that he directly changed the entire middle-level government staff in a short period of 5 days.
After the Labor Party and the Democratic Party reacted, nearly 80% of the middle-level managers of the entire government became the New Royal Party!
Members broke the rules, government personnel were corrupted, government credibility was lost, and the emperor's special investigative power, all of these were used to the limit by Li Zhiguo.
In other words, Li Zhiguo had premeditated all this, and it is very likely that he had already secretly investigated the corruption evidence of various officials and congressmen.
Zhao Kede suddenly realized that he had underestimated the first civilian prime minister in the history of the Eastern Xia Empire.
Faced with Zhao Kede's straightforward question, this time Li Zhiguo did not practice Tai Chi with him as usual. Showing a gentle smile, he replied: "Over the years, my various policies have been blocked by your parliament. This made me understand one thing, the cabinet prime minister sometimes has limits, so I want to be the cabinet prime minister. auxiliary."
Wow!
"You!" Zhao Kede's original calm expression disappeared instantly, and he looked at Li Zhiguo in amazement.
