Chapter 494 New

After Guli stood up, he immediately pretended to drive these guys away, cursing: "Which bastard wanted to kick my crotch just now? Stand up and let me see.

You are so presumptuous when His Majesty is here. Everyone will double the amount of training tomorrow."

After a tug, Guli easily suppressed the group of boys.

As for being energetic, then practice more.

Derrick did not intervene. As the chief military officer, Guli's authority can be guaranteed, and he can also manage these boys obediently, which is already an excellent standard.

The times make heroes. How can you know if you are a dragon or a worm if you don't try?

Derrick had a meal before leaving the Royal Guard.

For the successor to the Commissioner of Customs, he already has a candidate.

The next day, Viscount Yaneslari went to the palace to meet with the emperor.

As a noble of the Kingdom of the Holy Cross, he surrendered very early and made some contributions.

After the establishment of the empire, Yanes has been an official in the center.

Derek chose him because, firstly, his foundation was average and he was not one of the top nobles.

Second, he had enough experience and his promotion would not cause controversy.

Third, his loyalty was guaranteed. After all, his foundation was in the nobles who surrendered from the Holy Cross Kingdom.

Derek considered comprehensively and decided to give him a chance.

Today's summons was to see if Yanes could seize the opportunity.

Derek was never stingy with merit.

Viscount Yanes himself entered the palace in confusion.

He was considered a senior official of the central government, but he was only a senior official, a goalkeeper.

In terms of power, he was ranked among the top in the entire Daxia Empire.

But as for how much power he had, it seemed that it was just that.

Viscount Yanes himself still had his own ideas, so he was usually very attentive in his work.

It was just that the situation was so treacherous recently that he couldn't see clearly, so he didn't know whether His Majesty's summons was good or bad.

It can be said that he spent the whole night thinking about whether he had made any mistakes.

Until he came before His Majesty the Emperor, he did not realize that he had made any mistakes.

Derek did not beat around the bush with him and directly pointed out his intentions: "Andrew, the head of the Imperial Customs, is old and begged me to resign. Yanes... I want you to be the head of the Customs. Do you have any ideas?"

Yanes was hit by the pie that suddenly came. This is a very lucrative position. Even if you don't embezzle, there are still ways to make a fortune.

Of course, he immediately realized that His Majesty asked him to go there not to embezzle. If he said it out, he would be dragged out and chopped off immediately.

His brain thought quickly, not thinking about why Andrew resigned, but thinking about what he should do when he took office?

He really thought about this question, but at this time he couldn't figure out the emperor's mind.

So, he had an idea and tentatively answered: "I will do whatever His Majesty tells me to do."

This is the empire's money bag, of course, it must be in accordance with His Majesty's ideas.

Derek thought he would say something constructive, or at least a stable one that could be seen through, but he didn't expect to get such an answer.

"Slippery," His Majesty the Emperor gave an evaluation, but he also said: "It's you, get ready to take office."

Yes, this is not an ideal answer, but the attitude is enough.

And such a customs commissioner can definitely carry out his will to the end.

If things are done well, other things are not important.

Otherwise... do you really think the emperor's bullets are expensive? Give you a bullet worth eight copper coins to try.

When Viscount Yanes walked out of the palace, he was dizzy.

He never dreamed that such a good thing would fall on him.

One day later, Andrew formally begged to resign and retire.

After the emperor approved it, he quickly appointed Yanes as the new customs commissioner without waiting for the people to show their magic.

Viscount Yanes, who had packed his luggage long ago, took the train to take office without saying a word.

……

Director Smith and his team have had a colorful life recently. After arriving at Port Deegan, they heard about the assassination case before they even started work, and then the sensational tax case.

The place where they live happens to be a wealthy area. Every day, people’s homes are broken into by agents from the Eighth Investigation Department, and there are miserable cries day and night.

For those who have never experienced it, it is simply a mental torture.

After two months, after arranging the local power bureau, they returned home in a hurry.

Fortunately, this matter did not implicate the newly established Power Bureau. A few months ago, Director Smith was still teaching in school, and it was not his turn to embezzle.

However, half a year later, the construction of infrastructure such as power stations was completed, and he took the train again to Port Deegan.

I don’t know if he was scared, but this time there were half fewer people willing to go.

Director Smith took his secretary on the train, and this time he was very calm.

In the past year, he has become accustomed to the change of status, and he has not changed his face when enjoying privileges.

However, this time, the room he lived in was a little worse.

Director Smith was no rookie, and he immediately realized that there were other imperial officials on the same train.

He sent his secretary out to inquire, and the latter came back excitedly a short while later.

"Teacher, do you know who else is on the same train with us?

The new Commissioner of Customs, Viscount Yanes, I didn't expect that we have such a good relationship with the Customs, but I think Commissioner Andrew is also good."

Smith glared at his student, that is, his student, otherwise, if he had such a mouth as a secretary, he would have been killed long ago.

"Shut up, don't say that again, we will go visit the new Commissioner later."

The position of the customs is still very important. Smith wants to get to know more, maybe one day he will have to deal with him.

For example, the last time with the care of Commissioner Andrew, the preparations for the Port Degen Power Bureau were much simpler.

It is not easy to contact such a powerful person at ordinary times.

So during the meal, Director Smith, who had accurately grasped the world, happened to meet Commissioner Yanes.

Although the latter saw through this encounter, he still chatted very decently.

Strictly speaking, the two are somewhat similar.

Both have a shallow foundation in the center of the empire, and both hold key positions. They are real imperial parties.

So they talked to each other, left their contact information, and separated after getting off the train.

The last time they came to Port Degen, Director Smith and his party took the customs car.

This time, it was the people of the power bureau who picked them up outside the train station.

The difference in treatment during the two visits also shows the power of the Customs Commissioner.

However, Director Smith was a little surprised to see Yanes leave quietly on his own.

On the other side, Yanes led his entourage and went straight to the Customs.

Recently, Commissioner Andrew has not been in charge of the affairs, and he is waiting for him to come back to finish the handover and then go home to retire.
