Section 1654: The Wealth of the Savages

A beast is a beast, even if he turned into a human, he is not a human. The prince in front of him is basically the same as a human except for being a little taller. Hurt people, other orcs are also a little scared at this time, this is their Yunhuang Palace, everyone here is not a small person, if this prince really kills a few casually, it will be troublesome, don't say it The border trade has started, and whether they can survive is a very fatal thing. The most fearful thing now is the servant who was arrested. Just now, I said some good things to you savages. Now a He's so unreasonable, don't tell me what I did, it's a pity, if you have a brain, you will definitely think about it, but the savage in front of you has been beaten too hard by Li Cong, and he roared , This will tear the servant in his hand apart. m

But Li Cong was watching here. He definitely didn't have that chance. He immediately kicked up and kicked this guy's side. I couldn't help being thrown down with this weight. Although I was thrown in a mess, but thinking about the scene just now, it was still very bad. At least my life was taken away. I don't need to expect too much now. , said that he survived, otherwise it would be a two-half at this moment, and His Royal Highness was also kicked by Li Cong, who seemed to be a little rational, and now he can't get up. Clearly, although it looks fine from the outside, it can be seen that this guy has been crippled, and these are all internal injuries. This guy will have to cultivate for ten or eight years in the future.

"Hmph, Fanbang is Fanbang, and wild beasts are wild beasts. Come here, drive these people out for me, seize all the goods you brought, reward Li Cong, Li Fan Yuan, tell them that we are with them, these aliens. If they want to attack, let them see how powerful our imperial team is." His Majesty the emperor saw clearly the scene just now, and a lot of questions came to his mind, and he and the savages It is impossible to cooperate with the clan, and it is impossible to get some benefits from here. Li Cong has obtained such a great contribution, and he just wants to reward him. Didn't they bring a lot? It just happened to be Li Cong's reward. Anyway, it is affirmed that this word comes from the emperor's mouth. It won't be long before the war will start.

Several other veterans still want to ask His Majesty the Emperor to consider this matter. Sometimes this war can not solve everything, but now let’s forget about the emperor’s cannibalism. It's unlucky, I shouldn't have brought these people to see the emperor, but such a thing happened, if it wasn't for Li Cong's help, they would have been killed by His Majesty the Emperor, so Li Cong It can be said that going to court this time has gained a lot. First of all, it is the most important thing to show your face in front of all the courtiers and let them be very powerful, especially when His Majesty remembers this matter in his mind. It is the most important thing, followed by making friends with Li Fanyuan and the servant, and thirdly, getting such a large amount of wealth. If the savages brought it directly from the imperial capital, they could sell for billions of gold coins Well, originally they were here to do business, but this time His Majesty the Emperor directly confiscated their goods, and they lost everything.

As soon as the dozen or so savages heard about this, they would riot.

It's a pity that Ouchi's guards have already prepared. More than a dozen crossbow arrows shot directly through their chests. No matter how powerful they are, they are no match for four hands. In the enemy's base camp, you are not the home court. It's okay to bully you.

"General Li is indeed a talent of our empire. I am very relieved to entrust the Thunder God Legion to you. I have already discussed it with several senior officials in the Ministry of War. The expansion plan of the Thunder God Legion has also been sorted out. General Li's ebb tide Afterwards, you can go to the Ministry of War to discuss with some elders, and you can give me an answer within a few days. Seeing that the war between us and the savages is about to start, I hope that General Li can be so brave on the battlefield." His Majesty the Emperor glanced at Li Cong and said, His Majesty's remarks just now were actually declaring war. Originally, he didn't want to cooperate with these savages, but many of his subordinates were saying good things to them, so they wanted to meet them. It is such a result, this is of course impossible, since you want to fight, you have to hurt them. This time, His Majesty the Emperor is thinking that there will be a big one, and several major legions will go up. Otherwise, the inland is now in trouble. As for the epidemic, if the blockade is not good, they will come in and shake the foundation of the country.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En." Li Cong agreed and pushed it down. This matter is beyond Li Cong's control. Speaking of which, Li Cong is still a junior.

"Your Majesty has such lofty ambitions, and we all support it. The 100 million gold coins that I just took out are donated to the Imperial Ministry of War. I hope it can play a certain role in future wars. "Prince Gong said with a smile, and the other people also looked up at Prince Gong. If you say you donate money, you can find a place where there is no one to donate. If you talk about this matter above the hall, don't we all pay for it?" What about the money, this makes us lose less money? The emperor is not happy, because the money is too much, especially the first-class princes over there, 100 million gold coins is not a small amount, and they have to earn it for a while , one-twentieth of a year's income is gone, and such things are usually attacked by the first one, and the rest basically have no credit, and other people can only take advantage of it .

"Okay, Prince Gong's heart is attached to the empire. I'm really happy to congratulate you. Come and give Prince Gong a yellow jacket as a reward." 100 million gold coins were exchanged for a yellow jacket, and the other princes had to hurry up and say the same. Like Prince Gong, in the end the emperor collected billions of gold coins in donations before the war here, and the first batch of war funds will be available immediately. Countless people want to strangle Prince Gong to death, and stand up for nothing. It's big money.

These despised people also include Li Cong, but Li Cong doesn't need to pay too much. After all, this donation must also have an official rank. Li Cong's rank is really a little lower. He can stand alone outside, and he can be regarded as a person who can be ranked in the imperial capital, but now he doesn't look like it. Li Cong looked at the other high-ranking generals, and they only paid 8 million gold coins. , but not that big of a skill, it’s enough to say seven million yuan, but when they left the hall, many people saw Li Cong leaving with Prince Gong. I bought 7 million gold coins, which is really stingy. The goods brought by the savages are absolutely precious. Those furs alone are worth a lot of money. There are also many special products that can only be found in the northern region, which are even more valuable. Well, His Majesty the Emperor rewarded Li Cong this time, but it was useless for them to be hot-eyed. Li Cong could kill that savage guy, but they didn't have that ability.

Prince Gong showed his face today. In the past, although this guy was staring at a prince's hat, but when it comes to the power of their palace, they can only be ranked six or seven in the imperial capital, and they can't keep up with Yanping. As for the county prince's mansion, but the rate of rise is very fast today. Look at the gift from His Majesty the Emperor. It is a real deal. It's quite incredible, the prince was so happy along the way, he didn't leave the palace, and the few royal nobles who didn't deal with him before said a few words, it seems that they also feel the pressure Yes, it’s just that Long Lu has the deepest grievances with him, and Long Lu also can’t solve the matter between the two of them with a few words, and Long Lu is not so naive anymore. To be honest, he also felt uncomfortable.

Naturally, Li Cong didn't have that much time to show off with Prince Gong. What he had to do now was to ask Lao Huang to immediately take four thousand cavalry to surround the barbarian camp outside the city. There were all of them there. Li Cong rushed out of the city with dozens of cavalry first, and the cavalry of the Thunder God Legion outside the city were only about ten minutes later than them. There were quite a few of the savages this time, but it was still relatively small. To be honest, of course this has something to do with the tens of thousands of troops around them. The more than 30,000 troops in the imperial capital province watched over a thousand savages 24 hours a day. As long as they dared to walk out of the camp, they would be killed immediately. At war, it is not good for residents of one country to wander around in another country. When Li Cong arrived, the chief of the local army had already received an order from his superiors to assist the Thunder God Legion to wipe out these savages on the spot. They have not yet More than a dozen of them were killed in the main hall, and they are still enjoying themselves in the camp. Although they are blocked, the food supply for them is still very good. , Li Cong already had a battle plan when he arrived, that is to use poison, so that their casualties can be reduced to the minimum, and they will not destroy those brought by the savages. Now these are all Li Cong that's it.

"General, this is our plan. We will deliver them to foster care in half an hour. These people can really eat. They have to eat tens of thousands of catties of meat for every meal. These people eat raw meat. Seeing the smell of the cooked meat here, they used to be able to eat five catties of meat, but now they can eat ten catties per meal. If we keep them for a few days, we will go bankrupt, look at the general. Is our plan feasible?" Without skipping words. A lieutenant general of the local army stood up and said that this young lieutenant didn't have any good feelings for these savages. His uncle was eaten by a few savages on the northern battlefield. No, just In the eyes of these savages, the meat of these Central Plains people is very tender and can be eaten, and it tastes very fragrant.

"Hehe, no, I didn't even think of this plan. What I thought was to directly bring so many people in. Now it seems that your method is not good. Tell your people to prepare immediately. You have worked hard these days." Yes, it’s a little hard work.” Li Cong looked at the people around him, who were dumbfounded to see Li Cong being so polite, and it’s really rare that the general of the emperor’s army was polite to them. People usually have their eyes above the top. When they see the local army, they always have disdainful eyes. At this moment, they actually say that they have worked hard. No matter what, this general is to their taste.

"Thank you for the reward, General." It took a while for the deputy general to understand, and he quickly thanked him. At this time, Li Cong had already gone to the front to observe these savages. The golden ticket of the gold coin has a sudden brain, my God, this is. This is 300,000 gold coins. This general is indeed an extraordinary shot, but he immediately figured it out, this general will have more money soon, and the savages definitely brought a lot of money. The carts of the barbarians came one by one, and their carts were much larger than the carts of the Central Plains people. Although they didn't know how much of this property they had, they definitely had hundreds of millions of gold coins.

Here Li Cong is happy to wait for the money, but His Majesty the Emperor is not so happy after he retired. Just now he saw that the wildlings despised Tianwei and ordered them to be executed. Now he thinks that if the war comes It's not that simple. According to the intelligence agency's report, the savages have gathered millions of troops from more than a dozen races. Although the Guangming City in the northern border area has been fortified and reinforced, the mountain pass dozens of miles away The line of defense requires millions of troops to defend together. From now on, we have to transport combat equipment and troops there, otherwise we will be in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, this is a simple plan that I have drawn up. If Your Majesty has no objections, I think I will prepare according to this plan first?" Minister of the Ministry of War Hua Mingxiong and several cabinet scholars took a plan and said, The few of them are really the ministers of the humerus of the empire. In such a short period of less than two hours, they already have a plan. This is not a simple plan. They are not the highest, but they have a status in the imperial capital, and they are not necessarily used at ordinary times, but they come out when His Majesty needs them, just like now.

"Well, it's difficult for a few of you. Sit down and serve tea. I'll take a look." His Majesty the Emperor asked them to sit around after a few polite words. The etiquette here is not as serious as that on Earth. Some ministers can still sit on an equal footing with His Majesty the Emperor. Of course, this is only possible when His Majesty agrees. Others are not allowed. They have been with the Emperor for decades. They all understand that these people in the north It would be best if the savages could solve it once and for all. Every year when the savages invaded the border, they would suffer heavy losses. The reason why the two empires in the north and the south did not dare to use large-scale troops was also because there were savages in the north and murlocs in the south. If the Northern Empire has no wildlings, then it is not impossible to completely suppress and defeat the Southern Empire, but this matter can only be thought about in the mind. It is not so easy to achieve it, and the situation does not allow it Ah, you can see how difficult it is for them to resist an attack from the wildlings.

According to the plan, the frontier legion on the northern frontier of the empire has 1.5 million people stationed around the city of light. They are the barrier in the northern part of the empire, and they have always been stationed there. The northern legion that is changing defenses, the northern legion is currently resting at a place 200 kilometers away from Guangming City. They have 1.2 million people. In the past, these two legions were able to withstand their attacks, but this year's attack Obviously, it will be different from before. This year's attack will definitely be more violent than before. These two legions alone should not be able to resist, and the strategists of the Ministry of War have also predicted it, so they implore His Majesty the Emperor to dispatch Some elite troops, including the Thunder God Legion newly formed by Li Cong, should also let Li Cong go to the front line to experience it.

In addition to the two old troops stationed in the north, the deployment of the Ministry of War also involved two million troops in several provinces, of which there were 500,000 troops of His Majesty's pro-army alone, and the rest were from the administrative area. The elite troops needed to use more than 500 million gold coins in the early stage. This is still not a war, but the treasury is still good now, and it can support it. Otherwise, if those savages rush to the inland, the loss will be huge It's even bigger. His Majesty the Emperor looked at this plan and still felt that there were some things that needed to be revised. For example, which general was out of shape and was not suitable for leading the team, or that person was suitable for exchanging with someone on the list. How many people? After discussing until dark, the discussion was considered to be over, and His Majesty the Emperor left them here for dinner before leaving.

Although it is the time of the epidemic, these people have taken special medicines, and there will be no such problems at all, and they all sat down with the emperor.

Just when a few people were about to eat, there was a burst of silver bells immediately, and a smile appeared on the face of His Majesty the Emperor, no need to ask, this is the arrival of His Majesty's youngest daughter, Princess Shengping, and the other ministers also said: Not an outsider, watching the princess come in from the outside, she is really a beautiful and generous lady, it is really rare that a young man has such good luck to marry Princess Shengping into his home, Princess Shengping's pink dress makes him The beautiful face is even more outstanding, and the walk is also generous and decent. If the lady in the book has a living agent, then this person in front of her is it.

"Father, this is a little snack I made. I see that you are always busy with state affairs recently. You must not eat well. All adults should also try Shengping's craftsmanship together." Princess Shengping said with a smile, that The smiles are as warm as the sunshine in spring. The emperor and the ministers were all overwhelmed just now, but they are gone now, and everyone’s hearts seem to be blooming. This princess really came at the right time. In fact, there is another reason why His Majesty the Emperor wants to kill a few savages. The savages dared to set their minds on Princess Shengping. They were all like beasts, and they still missed my daughter. Don't kill you, I am worthy of your heart. Thinking of the scene where Li Cong killed the savage prince just now, His Majesty the Emperor felt more confident. It would be a pity if such a general was not used, this kid On the battlefield, I hope I can perform the same as today.

"Hehe, the princess's craftsmanship has improved again. Speaking of which, the princess's wedding is almost here. Whose kid does your majesty favor? My family is waiting for your majesty to open his mouth. I am a grandson." The old general Su He said with a smile, Su He was a loyal follower of His Majesty the Emperor when he was not the Emperor, after so many years, at least the friendship between the two must have lasted fifty years , when they first met, they were still children, now they are half-old men, Su He also has a very good relationship with the royal family, otherwise such jokes cannot be made casually, the others The adults also looked at Su He enviously. Although they are also His Majesty's confidantes, they can't ask such things casually. Otherwise, His Majesty the Emperor will start to worry about their intentions. The Yan family is not a small force. Yes, they are now in power. With the help of the Yan family, it is difficult to imagine that their power will expand to a certain level. His Majesty's trust in them has not yet reached that level, so they dare not speak easily.

"Grandpa Su will cancel the family. Father, my daughter will go down first." Princess Shengping is a very shy girl. Now that everyone is leading things to her marriage, this thin-skinned girl can't sit down immediately. It's human nature to live, and now everyone will think about it when she goes anywhere.

"Haha, Lao Su, I think you don't have to think about this matter. Shengping has always treated your good grandson as an older brother. Aren't they both unwilling? I know the details of your grandson very well. The ability is not small, it has the demeanor of yours back then, but the nickname is similar to yours back then, my daughter can't go to your place." The emperor said with a smile, he was too familiar with Su He, and Su He beside him He shook his head helplessly. In fact, he also knew that it was impossible for his grandson to get married with Princess Shengping. It was just to adjust the atmosphere. He married one of His Majesty's emperors. Is there no one else? The daughters of the royal family have all gone to their old Su's house, which is not bad.

"Hehe, Your Majesty, since you've said that, I'll hurry home and tell my kid that this princess doesn't need to worry about it anymore, and she should go to his lover honestly, alas, Your Majesty, you Really don't think about it for a while? Although my kid is a little bit put-together, he is still not capable in all aspects. What are you doing? This is, Your Majesty, we can't do anything if we can't negotiate. Let me go. "Su He saw that His Majesty was about to smash it with his hands, and quickly jumped and ran away. He didn't look like an old man at all. The other ministers also hurriedly left after Su He went out. Since the Su family boy is gone. Hope, this news is very precious. Now the epidemic is the first major issue at that time, the second is the war with the savages, and the third is who is Princess Shengping's in-laws.

The emperor also said that Princess Shengping's marriage made the entire imperial capital and even the entire empire a little restless, but up to now, there is really no goal. The princess also said that her father and emperor can make the decision. Such a blind marriage Dumb marriage has been an old tradition for tens of thousands of years, but as a father who loves his daughter, His Majesty the Emperor still hopes to make a good choice so that his daughter will have a good home in the future. When His Majesty looked through the list, Li Cong's name Guo made His Majesty the Emperor's eyes, this Li Cong? It seems that there is someone in his twenties, and he is also unmarried. This is a bad candidate, but this kid's previous history is simply unclear. This is what His Majesty is most worried about. Although today He is a big showman, and it is okay to give him the right to give him money, but asking His Majesty the Emperor to give his beloved daughter to this guy still makes me feel a little uncomfortable, and I still feel a little bit offended.

At this moment, Li Cong was already standing on the corpses of those savages. He increased the dosage of the medicine, and these people could not die anymore. Li Cong was dumbfounded when he saw the goods in front of him. If His Majesty the Emperor had If there are so many, it is estimated that Li Cong will not be rewarded. Li Cong does not pay the price of these furs, but Lao Huang next to him knows this very well, just like the one in Li Cong's hand now. It is said that this fur will cost three thousand gold coins if it is sold alone. If you find a few tailors to trim it well, you can make several large fur clothes. It is no problem to exceed five thousand gold coins. Li Cong looked at it There are more than a thousand furs like this on this car alone. It is said that they are all on the next few cars. Damn, such a car can cost several million gold coins. This time it can be regarded as developed, no need I asked, and all of these were transported to the mansion in the imperial capital.

"Haha, General, take a look quickly, these are the real precious ones." A Fu general pulled Li Cong and ran towards a car behind him, and opened the box at once, Li Cong was all caught Those in front of me dazzled my eyes. These blue ones are so beautiful, just like the sapphires on the earth, but they look brighter than the sapphires. No need to ask, Li Cong must be from the savage side A gem in abundance.

"General, other people would pay tens of thousands of gold coins to buy a piece of jewelry like this, but it is only as big as a grain of rice. It's good for you. It's worth two carts. If you pull it out and sell it for hundreds of millions of gold coins, you won't be able to beat it." Living here, two cars are worth a billion gold coins, these savages are really rich." The lieutenant said with a smile, Li Cong was also very happy, he thought those furs were valuable, but he didn't expect them to be so rich. It is the most valuable, and of course these people cannot be treated badly.

"Okay, the ones who come out today will be counted one by one. Each person will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins. Tonight, I will go to the Sleeping Moon Tower. I will treat you. I have agreed. If you can still walk out at night Yes, then I won’t give out bonuses, this girl is enough, I will reward one thousand gold coins to whoever spends the most in one night.” Li Cong said loudly, and all the soldiers of the Thunder God Legion here began to shout the general It's mighty, the local army over there is watching outside, how much they wish their generals can say that, but unfortunately their generals just come out to see what's going on and then they're done, yes, their generals are just one Sir, if you can get hundreds of thousands of gold coins all year round, it's nothing. How can you compare with others, Sleeping Moon Tower? Let's take a look when you are dreaming. Others can walk in front of the door and smell the smell of makeup. This is a comfort in my heart. At that time, these people will also be able to enter the Eighth Legion. Let's see if they are here tonight. Just a reward of one thousand gold coins.

"General, you still have to pay attention to those local troops outside." Although Lao Huang also looked down on those troops, the gap between the two armies should not be too big. Li Cong can't forget about them, and they will help you A lot of busy, Li Cong looked at it, nodded, asked his subordinates to clean up quickly, and then Li Cong walked out.

"Great general." Several local troops at the door saw Li Cong come out and saluted quickly. They still admired Li Cong very much. Just now, a savage still had fighting power because he didn't eat. Now the two were killed by that savage The guy who was beaten was severely injured, and this guy was dealt with by Li Cong up and down.

Li Cong nodded to the two of them, and then walked into their general's camp. The general was wiping the saber, and when he saw Li Cong coming in, he hurriedly saluted. At the beginning, Li Cong gave them 300,000 gold coins. It took a lot of hard work, but the average amount of money is not much. Li Cong’s people paid 1,000 gold coins each. People who have no reason to eat are so full. Their soldiers are here to watch, but Li Cong also gave It's useless to have more money, and the soldiers don't get much.

"It's okay. Mianyue Building will definitely not be able to receive so many people tonight. Tomorrow night, call everyone. One counts as one. Go." Li Cong said with a smile. The generals are also happy, this General Li Cong is really a different person from other generals, especially the generals who are close to the emperor's army, he is so kind, and he is so kind to the local troops like them Attitudes, everyone seems to have seen the New World.

"General, you are too polite. To be honest, we have not cooperated with people from your eight major legions before. Those people have their eyes above the top, and they don't look at us honestly at all. Now the big The general really gave us too much face." What the general said was true. In the past, they had a lot of friction with the emperor's pro-army, but in the end, who would dare to offend the emperor's pro-army? In the end, they are the ones who bear the bitter fruit, and if there is a disturbance, they are also the ones who suffer.

"Everyone is in the army, but the army we belong to is different. The rest is the same. I have something to do here, so I won't talk too much. I will call everyone tomorrow night. If you don't go, you won't go." Give me face." Li Cong smiled and pressed a gold ticket of 200,000 gold coins on the table, "This is for several generals, you must accept it." Li Cong said with a smile, they were all sighing How many golden tickets does Li Cong have on his body? Millions of them have been thrown out this day. It is really too much to take so many golden tickets to the streets every day...but if they see Prince Gong directly donate 100 million Gold coins are so generous to the prince.

It took all night for this batch of goods to be transported back to Li Cong's mansion. Although Li Cong's mansion is very large, the arrival of these things still made the whole mansion feel a bit backlogged, "It's so beautiful. Yes, this is mine, I will take it to the tailor to make beautiful coats for the two of us, this is for you, you also need to get some decent clothes, otherwise it will be very cold in the northern region." Seeing these furs, Xue Lier almost went crazy. Sure enough, there is no one who doesn't like fur coats. Li Cong shook his head helplessly. This seems to be the case. Which one is the clothes they don't like most in their entire lives? The next piece of clothing that everyone may look forward to the most is the next one. These two clothes are too much for them to wear one by one every day. They even have to make a few more at the moment, but Li Cong doesn't have that many. With so many assets now, it seems inappropriate to tell them to be frugal.

"Hehe, you can just pick whatever you want. I have so much money that I can't even count it. I don't mind if you help me spend some." Li Cong said with a smile. The relationship between the three people is like a family. , although the final relationship has not yet been reached, both of them already regard Li Cong as their family member, and they also rest together at night, but if they are not for Li Cong, they will not do the last thing. Those who have some ideas will become invaders on this planet in the future. Besides, the girls of the Mengbei tribe will all give birth. Will there be wars if there are too many? This is also a very important issue for Li Cong to consider , it was very easy to solve the two problems, but if there are more in the future, besides, the two cooperate very well now, it is impossible for them to be so good to their younger brother, if they keep giving birth like the emperor , There are too many of them, and it will cause such competition in the future. Maybe in the end, a Sui Yang emperor will be born, who killed his father and brother and won the emperor's seat, so Li Cong is also unwilling.

"General, Hua Mingxiong, Minister of the Ministry of War, is here." Li Cong was looking at the beautiful stones with the two maids when the butler came in and said. By the way, Li Cong had forgotten about this matter. I wanted to go to the Ministry of War to discuss the issue of expansion, and I was immediately stumped by the money. I didn't expect that the old Shangshu was such a responsible person, and it all came to their home. Such a thing is really rare Yes, Li Cong hurriedly asked the housekeeper to send him to the living room, and then changed into more formal clothes. He said that he was also the boss, but he was still the reserve servant of the Ministry of War.

"I'm really sorry for keeping Master Shangshu waiting for so long. Some trivial matters today have delayed important matters. It's really my fault. I'll pay it back to Master Shangshu." Hua Mingxiong's psychology was originally very atmospheric. , even if the emperor is giving you face, you can't help but take the wardens of the Ministry of War seriously. See if you have done something. This is to increase your strength by asking you to go to the Ministry of War. These people are here The Ministry of War has been waiting for you for several hours, otherwise it would have been long ago, you boy will be fine, now it's his night, and I haven't seen you coming, this old man came here with a belly full of anger, right now Li Since the important minister of the emperor put his posture down so low, it would be wrong to make any noise.

"No, the general has been busy with military affairs recently. We all have this. Let the general take a look at this first. We'd better get down to business first. This is the expansion plan for your Thunder God Legion. If the general allows us, we will follow it. This is for the Thunder God Legion to recruit soldiers. If the general still has objections, we can still discuss it. Of course, major changes must be decided by His Majesty, after all, your supreme commander belongs to His Majesty." Hua Mingxiong also To put it politely, this also told Li Cong that you can be in charge of small-scale things, let alone you in large-scale things, even I am not in charge.
