Chapter 506 Farewell

The New Year has just passed, and the north is still very cold.

This is especially true in Melgen Province, where the cold wind is howling non-stop.

Dagu's relatives live a pretty good life, and they are considered a middle-class family.

After all, there is a relative who is a senior official in the central government. Even if he has no power, local officials dare not neglect him.

With reasonable care, you can live very comfortably.

Especially Dagu's own family, which has built a three-span yard, which is considered grand in Walter City.

After all, it is a new city, and the land price is far less than that of the imperial capital. Dagu's salary here is also an ordinary small rich man.

Apart from this, there is nothing special.

Even in the imperial capital, Dagu can't receive filial piety, let alone here in his hometown?

Dagu's parents opened the door as usual. Although they are also considered officials' families, they live with their brothers and sisters and old parents, and there is not even a servant.

Dagu's father gets up early every morning to open the door and sweep the snow at the door. Everyone will go out later.

He held the broom in one hand and opened the bolt with the other.

The only thing that was better than ordinary people was probably a pair of deerskin gloves, while ordinary people used cotton gloves.

Even these deerskin gloves were made by Dagu himself from wild deer hunted by himself, and then made by his wife.

But today, when he opened the door, Dagu's father was shocked.

There were two teams standing on the left and right of his door, standing there quietly.

Looking at the snow on the carriage, it was obvious that they were not just here.

"Oh, what are you doing? You are so scared?" The old man complained. He was not afraid of offending people. No matter how low-key his son was, he was still an officer and had enough confidence.

The visitor was even more polite. The left and right were obviously not from the same family. They stepped forward and looked at each other. The man on the left said, "Old man, please inform the head of the family and say that an old friend is visiting."

The old man laughed, looked at the left and the right, and sneered, "What old friend? Why don't I know any of them?"

Good guy, this is treating Dagu's father as a gatekeeper.

It is estimated that neither of them expected that a high-ranking official of the empire would not even have a door at home.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, especially when the lie was exposed on the spot.

Fortunately, the people who came were people who did dirty work, so they were very thick-skinned.

The man on the right immediately said: "It turns out to be the father-in-law. It just so happens that... I have a gift to present. Please tell Angel Dagu that we have been here."

The old man had guessed their intentions. Hearing this, he rolled his eyes and said: "Don't send it. My Dagu said that he would not accept gifts. It is useless for you to give it to me. You have to send it to Dagu."

The old man was very sober and knew that there was nothing that was being plotted against in his family, except Dagu.

The two people on the left and right looked at each other again, and suddenly stepped forward together, sandwiched the old man, and whispered: "I'm sorry."

Then he turned around and ordered: "Send the gift in."

The guys who came with them were all hired temporarily in Walter City.

But the commission was enough. As long as it was not murder or arson, what could not be done?

Although this gift-giving method was somewhat special, they didn't care about that. They just rushed in carrying large and small boxes.

The old man was so anxious that he shouted loudly: "What do you want to do? Don't you know who my son is? Someone come! Someone come quickly! Someone is forcing gifts in broad daylight!"

The two people who held the old man hostage also laughed. Look at what you are shouting. Can forcing gifts attract security guards?

The brothers and sisters of Dagu's family in the yard were all alarmed. They went to the front yard and saw that the yard was full of things. Their old man was shouting at the door.

When they rushed over, the things were moved. The two of them took a gift list and ran away.

The old man sat on the ground with a sigh: "It's really eye-opening. I have lived a lifetime and this is the first time I have encountered such a new thing."

Seeing that everyone had run away, he picked up the gift list and looked at it. Wow... I can't read.

"Come, little grandson, come and read to grandpa."

"Gold coupons worth 100,000 yuan, a six-foot coral..."

Good boy, these are all good things, but... you didn't leave a name!

The old man's face was twisted together, he was really open-minded. Not only did he force the gift, but he didn't even know who gave it. There are so many strange things in this world, it's really well-deserved.

Official... Bah! !

Even the agent of the Eighth Investigation Department squatting in the snow felt that he had opened his eyes.

They have monitored so many people, but giving gifts like this is also very innovative, which can be regarded as a precedent.

In the distance, there are agents trying to track the gift givers, but except for the hired people who swarmed away, the two leaders were well prepared and disappeared quickly.

These nobles and businessmen obviously know something about the empire's secret service, and they are very well prepared.

However, there are smart ones and there are also failures. In the past few days, there has been an endless stream of people giving gifts, and the house of Dagu's family will soon be full of them.

Many people were targeted by the Eighth Investigation Department, and they were secretly recorded in a small notebook.

…

Far away in the imperial capital, Dagu soon received a telegram from home, and sure enough, his hometown did not hide.

The more gifts he received, the more cautious he became.

People were willing to give expensive gifts, which showed that the New World was very involved.

At least a thousand times the profit, otherwise it would not make sense to take out so much money at will.

I resign before you!

Dagu sighed: "The wealth of the New World is indeed well-deserved."

In response, Derek told him the truth: "Half of the empire's gold and silver now flows in from the New World. The customs account for one-fifth of the tax revenue this year. The resources plundered by the people from the New World every year are probably more than 200 million gold coins."

Dagu was terrified. How much wealth is this?

Theoretically, it is enough to support tens of millions of soldiers, and it can fill up the rivers when piled together.

No wonder he still swooped in like a fly even though he knew there were risks overseas.

Derek saw his look and knew that he understood the importance of the New World.

The last instruction: "This time, you should watch more and do less, and kill another group of people who are very angry to establish your authority.

The New World is not like the mainland. It is too far away and the empire cannot rule it effectively. The law should always be more lenient. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Dagu thanked him.

"Don't be afraid. If you have any problems, please contact me by telegram. I will cover you. Even if you cause trouble, the worst that can happen is to dispatch troops to suppress it. It's no big deal." Derek was very domineering.

This is the confidence of holding a gun. At worst, I will overturn the table and start over.

No matter how many tricks and ingenuity you have, you can't beat this most primitive technology... violence.

Dagu smiled, feeling relieved.

Yes, I am a northern barbarian, the worst that can happen is that I will overturn the table.

After the audience with the emperor, Dagu began to prepare to set off.
