Chapter 422 After the Scourge (Part 1)
Qingyue City Tianshou Pavilion, the top balcony that Cons could only come up later, now occupied these senior Lei family retainers. They looked at the ship away. After a while, Guan Zuo Guocai smiled and said, "This guy Okole has finally left."
"Let's go. This guy relies on his lord's second brother, and he does whatever he wants all day long. The intelligence chief appointed by my lord himself was scolded and ordered by him like a servant." Weijie said with a sneer.
This Cons's confidant was not single, and he was not restricted by intelligence, and he had no one to restrain him. Over the years, he had long since become the teenager who was originally a slave.
"Haha, I was so delusional to think that this guy wanted to become the new Lei family leader with the identity of Lord Gongyi. I didn't think about what kind of material I was. Even we are inferior to our subordinates, and I dared to compete with the Third Master." Neil smiled.
"I don't understand why these two fools, Retreka, listened to Okol's words and led the soldiers to the empire with the ship? If you stay, how could you be more difficult than going to the empire?" said a retainer.
"Hmph, don't laugh and invite this guy Oker. He is an ambitious person. Have you seen most of the middle and lower-level retainers of our Lei family seduced by him? But it's okay if Retree drives away. If these two people who don't understand the change will stay, they will not be able to stand us." Guan Zuoguo sneered.
"Let me say it again. In this Lei family, except for the lord and the descendants of the lord and the lord, no outsider can become the head of the Lei family. We retainers are just to temporarily manage the Lei family for the lord. Do you think so?" Weijie glanced at everyone and said threateningly.
Of course, the retainers present understood that this was to remind them not to be independent. This was of course aligned with everyone's request.
They are not fools. They understand very well that after leaving the Lei family, they will not let the light of the Lei family disappear, and they will become a small prince. Anyone can take a bite and cannot live a leisurely life under the big tree of the Lei family like they are now.
In addition, I still maintain my respect for my lord, but everyone knows that the Lord’s Reward has taken away the tornado, and the temporary care of these people is permanent, which means that I am the leader of the Lei family.
Whoever is independent in this state is an idiot.
Although he was dissatisfied with Weijie's appearance as a chief retainer, this guy is full of dark power, so he should not offend him, so he seems to have accused Weijie's status.
Weijie knew what these people wanted to write, and he understood that he was really bluffing, because the secret guards and training institutions of the Lei family were selected as early as when Cons occupied a land in the empire, making the local rice in the Fit Peninsula weak.
The strongest military rose group was also transferred to the third master of the Vettelte League, so that the only force he could mobilize was only a little.
Especially when news of Cons being taken away by the tornado came, all the remaining secret guards ran to Xiangwen, making his strength even weaker. So now, while everyone is unaware, they will stand more resources to determine their status.
Cons was taken away by a tornado, and Weijie was just a little sad.
Although Cons rescued him from his slave and taught him his ability to give him status, after not following Cons for many years and having too much energy to flatter others, Weijie has long been the ignorant slave. He has become a powerful minister with his own desires and pursuits. It is quite conscientious to be able to express grief for Cons' misfortune.
Thinking of this, Weijie couldn't help but feel deeply moved. When he was following Cons, he had experienced all kinds of thrilling and brilliant things, and his status was also improving. However, without following Cons, he had declined.
Oak was pretty good at the five major thrones at that time. Anyway, he was old and was very at ease in front of the general manager of the Southeast Governor's Office. He and Retreka were young, but they were trapped in the Fit Peninsula as a small official. Speaking of which, the most promising of the five people was Xiangwen.
The Chief of the Inner Guard and Chief of the Secret Guard of the Southeast Governor are now said to be the most powerful figure in the Southeast Governor's Office. After Cons disappeared, he was the most powerful person in the entire Cons system. If he had not been with Cons, he would have been such a person, right?
Although Okore has a good relationship with him, he doesn't believe that with the identity of a brother of Cons, he can snatch the power from Xiangwen. Even his own brother cannot, let alone the brother of Cons. You must know that Xiangwen controls the secret guard system, so that he will not offend Xiangwen for this guy of Cons, otherwise he will not know how he died. Alas, but Cons has no descendants. Otherwise, with the support of Xiangwen, the system of Cons will definitely flourish as before, and it will not look like it is now.
Weijie shook his head with emotion.
Not to mention Weijie and other Lei family members, in a certain east residence in Qingyue Port, the leader of the Secretariat, Okol's adoptive father, was squinting his eyes and asking a subordinate, "How are the Pope prepared?"
"The Pope should be prepared. After this God-slaughter, it is the best time for religion to develop rapidly. However, the Pope requires us to support 200,000 stones of food. Look at this..." the subordinate said carefully.
"Twenty-hundred thousand stones?! Humph, I know this is for our Tantric Buddhism. With this grain, we can definitely absorb a large number of outstanding people to join religion during this period of shortage of food. But the religion is too big, right? I really think we are the granary, I really think we have controlled the entire Fit Peninsula, 200,000 stones. You must know that the harvest of ordinary princes on the Fit Peninsula is not so much in a year!" The bishop stood up in anger and paced back and forth.
"Sir, the Lei family should be able to meet our requirements. You must know that the Lei family has never stopped purchasing grain since its establishment. Now, it can be said that the Lei family has the most food on the Fit Peninsula. If Master Okole comes forward, 200,000 stones will not count."
"Hmph, stop dreaming, Okore is a useless waste. Although he left the Fit Peninsula this time, although he was going to compete for the position of the Southeast Governor, he was actually just a stray dog driven away. Let him come forward to ask for food? Don't even think about it." The Bishop said without a good voice.
"What should I do? This is the order of the religious master. If the person is not completed, it may reduce your impression in the religious mind, right?" The subordinate reminded him directly.
"Hmph, what kind of person do I have? Do you still care about what the Pope's impression of me?"
The bishop said proudly, but after saying these words, the bishop frowned and muttered, "What should I do? Without this batch of food, religion should not take the opportunity to flourish."
The subordinates laughed in their hearts that they were qualified as senior bosses. They were not a person who was a dissatisfied person if they didn't take the Pope seriously, but everyone knew that he was quite loyal to Tantric Buddhism. In other words, religion is a religion and the Pope is a pope, which is completely different.
So when I saw the adults being distressed, I couldn't help but reminded me, "Sir, now I can't buy food if I have money this year and every month. If I want to raise all the 200,000 stones of food, we have to snatch it."
"Give it? This is a solution, but it may cause hostility from other esoteric religions. After all, we have just stopped arguing," the bishop pondered.
"Sir, because of God's punishment, everyone knows that this year's food crops have been completely harvested. If the esoteric religions want to expand and grow, they can only grab this path. If we don't do this, others will do it." The subordinate said hurriedly.
The bishop pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Send our inventory and target plunder the food and grass!"
"Yes" his subordinates were very excited. Finally, they had the opportunity to command the Immortal Legion again. They were so excited when they thought about it.
Although the provinces under the southeastern Grand Governor's Office of the Empire, that is, the provinces controlled by Cons, have been everywhere due to the divine punishment, the Grand Governor's Office of the Empire controlled by Xiangwen subdivided the responsibility to individuals, so there are fewer chaos in food shortages.
For example, if you want to settle the score with one hundred victims, you will have to settle the score without completing it. In addition, the Fit Peninsula transported a large amount of food, so the victims in other places fled and robbed were common, but they rarely occurred in the southeastern provinces, which also caused the victims in the surrounding provinces to come to the southeastern provinces.
The Southeast Governor's Office, which is full of food, certainly accepted the victims without any reservation, and quickly wrote this in the beginning of working to support themselves. It can be said that these victims were absorbed into the Southeast system very quickly.
However, the behavior of the Southeast Governor's Office is a completely act of causing trouble.
Not to mention that the population of surrounding provinces has been sucked away in large quantities, the high surrounding provinces are sparsely populated, and the news of food-free food alone is enough to attract countless warlords, thieves and bandits who have started to rob everywhere due to shortage of food.
In the Southeast Grand Governor's Office, the military and political personnel of the Grand Governor's Office gathered here in the hall that had been rebuilt like a meeting hall.
An officer spoke loudly, "According to the intelligence department's intelligence, the garrisons in the surrounding provinces, bandits from all over the country, as well as the Shanyue people on the border, are eyeing our five southeastern provinces due to food problems. Therefore, all our military members asked you to take the initiative to eliminate these enemies first and expand our territory."
The officers present were very excited because when the God of Condemnation was just over, they demanded to fight externally, first, to alleviate internal conflicts, second, to expand military rights, and third, to take advantage of the situation to rob.
Unfortunately, these plans were rejected by the power organ of the Southeast Governor's Office... the head palace.
Although the rights of soldiers will become greater and greater in troubled times, the southeastern province is completely opposite. The combat troops cannot do something extraordinary when they are not fighting.
Because the rights to distribute training, equipment, supplies, military pay and other materials are not in the hands of the chief officer. On the contrary, the chief officer of the army has the right to military power, but when there is no war, he can only have the right to go out to inspect the army. Therefore, the chief officer of the army is most eager to send troops to fight. However, this right must be agreed to by the head palace, otherwise he would be arrested by his subordinates before he could summon the troops.
From the beginning that he was extremely unaccustomed to the inability to use force, and now he has known how to win over, compromise and guide, so that his opponents can recognize and agree with their own requirements, almost all the officers of the Southeast Governor's Office have some political abilities.
Although Qu Duo officers extremely despised these officers who got up by verbal and relationship, they wanted their troops not to become orphans who had to eat without medicine and wear clothes, so the officers had to frown and join such a political struggle for the lives of pirates.
The heads of the head pavilion started discussions, and the Xiangwen who sat in the corner without saying a word, saw these heads being so passionate that they couldn't help but laugh in their hearts. They had not been in vain for so many years with the master. They just came up with a system so that they could be the most capable, most prestigious, and most likely to rebel independently, and stayed within the scope they had determined.
