The screams lasted for no reason, but suddenly disappeared.

The people around them pricked their ears desperately, but they couldn't hear any sound.

Just when they were surprised, a muffled thunder suddenly came from a distance. These people had heard the sound of horse hooves and immediately knew that there were a large number of cavalry approaching.

I don’t know if these cavalrymen are in the same group as those who entered the Grand Governor’s Office, but I will understand if there is a fight next time.

The cheers from behind made the people sigh in their hearts.

It seems that the Shou Pavilion system has collapsed.

Many people with the level of civil status looked at their tightly clasped hands and shook their heads, took off their identity badges on their chests, and threw them aside.

When Lord Cons was still there, he would definitely fight against the enemies who invaded the Grand Governor's Mansion to improve his identity level.

Unfortunately, when Lord Cons disappeared, he chose to retreat. The reason was no different. His sacrifice could not be exchanged for the benefits he deserved. The hierarchy of the five southeastern provinces has become an institution for corrupt officials to earn benefits.

Under the indifference of the people, Okore took over the Grand Governor's Office.

Then, under the name of the Shou Pavilion, he handed over all the power of the Shou Pavilion to his own hands on the grounds that it was carrying out wars and was not suitable for dispersing powers.

Okor's first order was to comfort the old minister Cons's heart, to express that he was inheriting the will of his elder brother, and would not deny the old minister's merits, and to ask the old minister to be loyal to him as loyal as his elder brother.

Then, there were a series of commendations and promotions of official positions, and almost one-third of the old ministers on the list accounted for.

As soon as this move came out, the lambs who had lost their leader. The confused lambs immediately accepted Okol's selling well.

As for the army, not only did the military head disappear, but they also had to face the crazy attacks of bandits. Logistics and supplies all depended on the support of the rear. Now Okore has controlled the logistics and is welcomed by the new recruits. In addition, the ambitious military head is gone. Although the officers who were old ministers are a little dissatisfied, most of them still pinched their noses and accepted Okore's inclusion.

However, there are always some people who are unique.

First of all, several officers at the level of brigade commander expressed their dissatisfaction with Okol, but such a person was killed by Okol for a while, and he was regarded as the chicken that killed the chicken to warn the monkey.

This effect is very obvious, and no one dares to mutter.

A gang leader named Jiji suddenly led his troops away for some reason and was unwilling to accept Okor's incorporation.

Originally, Okore didn't care about the officer of a corps captain, but he didn't know if the corps captain named Jiji was famous or not. The troops that had already stabilized actually had a wave of running away. Dozens of officers such as the corps captain and the captain ran away, and even seven or eight thousand veterans ran away!

This number shocked Okor. After investigation, he found that this Gigi and those who ran away were all promoted from slaves by Cons.

However, I have already expressed my resignation, so what are they afraid of?

Okor, who was puzzled, did not dare to order the pursuit of such an unimportant officer. He just gave up the declaration of liberating slaves and gained the support of many slaves in the five southeastern provinces.

And this is enough to resist the impact of someone running away.

Looking at the crowds of people cheering at him outside, Okor was very satisfied.

Unexpectedly, the entire five southeastern provinces fell into their hands so easily. Not long ago, I had to suffer the bad temper of the headgear. It was their faces to act!

How long has it been? These big men who used to look at them with disdain, now they are integrated with the soil, and they are here to accept the cheers of the world. Things are really impermanent!

Seeing that Okor seemed too excited and had replaced the position of Prime Minister Bikud, Levin shook his head helplessly.

Although the members of the First Pavilion were either killed or surrendered, the most important member of the First Pavilion, Bikud disappeared early. Seeing that he took the housekeeper away and disbanded the servants, he knew that this person did not leave in a hurry, but was prepared.

The lord doesn't care at all if this dangerous person who can predict a big thing escapes?

Besides, the whole thing is not as wonderful as I imagined. It is actually ignorant and helpless.

Okor was very sensitive to discovering his subordinates' mentality and couldn't help but ask a little unhappy: "What's wrong?"

What's going on with you guys? When you were enjoying victory and you should let go of your arms and be happy, you were so idiotic that you looked like you were dead. If you were not your right-hand man and you knew you were loyal, I would have arrested you on a charge!

A close minister who had seen Levin's status immediately jumped up and shouted, "Sir Levin, why do you look depressed? Are you not happy about Your Highness's victory?"

As soon as the close minister said this, Andak stopped doing it, and directly pushed the close minister, stared at him and shouted, "What did you say!"

As for Anda's rude guy who dares to hit people directly, his close ministers dare not provoke him, so they could only pout and hide aside.

Levin didn't care about such a villain at all, but said directly: "My lord, my subordinates accepted government affairs and found that there have been 1.8 million slaves in the five southeastern provinces. The lord's order to liberate slaves made these 1.8 million surrender to the lord. In this regard, my subordinates felt that the lord was wise."

After being scratched to the itchy area, Okol immediately waved his hand with a laugh: "This is not my credit, it is all a reminder of Sym."

That Saimen, the close minister, said with a flattering smile: "It's because your highness pity the untouchables. If it were someone like Cons, he would definitely not accept the proposal from the minister."

Seeing Okor laughing proudly, Levin couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

Please, lord, for a monarch, if you don’t understand the situation, you will be kind-hearted, which will bring disaster.

After Okor was proud for a while, Levin continued: "Lord, after counting the inventory, he found that there were 300 granaries in the five southeastern provinces, with a total of more than 3 million stones of grain stored. However, this is just the number on the book. The real number needs to be counted one granary after another before confirming."

Originally, Okor, who had a blushing face with three million stones, heard that this was just a book number, and his face couldn't help but sank.

Of course, he knew the difference between the books and the real situation, and couldn't help but say anxiously: "Send someone to count the granary immediately and you must get the accurate number! By the way, not only the granary, but other warehouses will also count it!"

"Yes." Levin didn't say anything else, and it would be more convincing when the numbers came out.

A few days later, all the important officials of Okol were staring at the inventory of the stock accounts in a daze. The Sym, who liked to cater to Okol, no longer had the mood to flatter.

Because flattery at this time is a completely temptation to die.

Okol shook the paper in his hand and asked in a somewhat dazed tone: "Did I see it wrong or did you calculate it wrong?"

Levin hurriedly whispered to the bookstore: "I took my subordinates to count it three times, and the data is true."

"It's true? Damn it! This is the jurisdiction of the richest Southeast Governor in the entire empire except the imperial capital! The food in stock is only less than 500,000 stones! The money is less than one million gold coins! Weapons and equipment can only arm 30,000 people!"

"The inventory of such a small place as Lei family is more than this. Why are there only such a small number of things in the five southeastern provinces?"

Okor was almost gone wild, and this thing could not even be supported by the 100,000 Southeast Army recruited! Not to mention the millions of people in the five Southeast provinces!

People don’t have to raise them themselves, this is better, otherwise...oh!

Okor suddenly remembered that he still had 1.8 million liberated slaves to support him!

When he thought of the terrifying figure of 1.8 million, Okol broke out in cold sweat.

If I had known that they would not have liberated them at the time, and no one dared to say anything. Now that they would have reduced their food, they would definitely rebel immediately!

That was not 18,000 people, but 1.8 million people rebelled!

There are more than 1.8 million people than all the rebel bandits outside now, and the most terrifying thing is that they are inside the territory. When they make trouble, the entire territory will be destroyed!

Okor thought of a solution very bitterly, and suddenly noticed a large amount of expenses on the account book. He was busy looking through it and found that all the warehouse books had huge expenses.

He couldn't help but roar immediately: "Damn it! Who transferred these things away? There are such greedy people!"

Levin hesitated for a moment and said cautiously: "Lord, before Xiang Wen went to sea, he transferred millions of stones of grain, and took away more than two million gold coins, and also transferred all the sharpest weapons and crossbows in the five southeastern provinces. It can be said that Xiang Wen not only took away a group of the most elite troops in the five southeastern provinces, but also took away a large amount of weapons and materials and money. In other words, Xiang Wen's departure this time was enough to make the strength of the five southeastern provinces 70% less than before!"

"Damn it! Damn Xiangwen! Why are you, a slut, taking so many things away? You are looking for someone instead of going to war! You are so angry!"

Okor roared in anger.

Saimen hurriedly comforted him: "Your Highness should not be so angry. Didn't you say that the five Southeast provinces will receive a monthly assistance? It is said that this monthly assistance is almost the same as our current inventory, so your Highness does not have to worry about insufficient supplies at all."

Hearing this, Okol's anger immediately subsided. After calming down, he said with a reserved smile: "Well, when it comes to this assistance, I think of my third brother whom I haven't met for a long time. In order to get him to start, we also contributed a lot when we were in the Lei family. I didn't expect that in just a few years, we not only did not need us to supplement, but we could give us blood transfusions. My third brothers' business ability is really one of the best in the world!"

"Yes, I've heard about the power of the Third Master for a long time, but unfortunately I didn't meet him once. It really made Xiaochen a little regretful. It was only a person like Your Highness who had such brothers. Xiaochen really admired him."

Saimen's flattery made Okol very satisfied. You can tell by seeing his exaggerated description of his friendship with An Zaikang's brothers.

Seeing Okor performing there, Levin sluggishly, hesitated for a while before saying, "Lord, as usual, this assistance should have arrived three days ago, but there is no movement yet."

"Hmm?" Okor's face changed, but he quickly waved his hand unconsciously: "I guess it was delayed because of something. Please send someone to urge me."

"Yes." Seeing that Okor was indifferent, Levin had to take the order.

He originally wanted to remind Okol that An Zaiying had no obligation to assist Okol, but now he dared not say it.

A few days later, the stock of the granary dropped sharply, and Okor paced back and forth anxiously: "Damn it! Why haven't this aid been sent yet? Do you really want a food shortage here? What the hell is you fighting against?"

Suddenly seeing Levin running in quickly, Okol immediately asked: "Is the assistance coming?"

Levin said in panic: "Master! There was news from there that An Zai Kang took people to sea to do business. Because An Zai Kang was not there, they could not allocate supplies without authorization. Therefore, the material assistance was temporarily suspended from now on. We have to wait until An Zai Kang comes back before the supply could be restored!"

"What?"

This news hit Okol's forehead like a bolt from the blue, making him confused.

However, Okor immediately burst into tears and cursed: "What are you going to do business? He hasn't left Wilter for so many years, and he actually went to do business at this joint? Isn't this damn An Zai Kang just searching for news about the dead ghost Cons like Xiangwen?"

"This damn An Zaikang, but he actually cut off my aid for the sake of Cons, who had long been dead? I'm XXXXXXX!"

Seeing Okol lose his temper, he didn't even dare to say anything in the flattery, let alone Levin and others.

In fact, everyone present knew that Okor was so angry. One was that the lack of food forced him to get angry. The other was that he found that he could not compare with Cons in any case. The jealousy that had been suppressed for a long time was finally detonated, so it started to explode.

After a while, Okor finally collapsed on the chair without any strength. Levin took the opportunity to propose: "Lord, since there is a shortage of food, we should not raise so many strong men in vain. We will form an army and start to attack and plunder externally. This will not only prevent the huge number of strong men from causing trouble, but also reduce the population burden, and expand the territory and increase wealth."

Saimen, who had been singing opposite Levin, finally responded: "Yes, Your Highness, Lord Levin's proposal is a big solution. Since we can't support them, let them snatch out from outside to support themselves. With this one.8 million strong man, you may not be able to unify the entire empire!"

As soon as he heard that he would unify the empire, Okol immediately became excited.

He jumped up with a blush and waved his hand with a vigorous face and said, "Okay! Immediately order the formation of a legion, send our tribe members to be grassroots officers, and disperse the officers and soldiers of the Southeast Army into the legion and rebuild the organization with the strong men!"

"Dive away all the weapons, cut bamboo into guns if they are not enough! I will notify the entire army that I don't want the spoils and reward them all to the officers and soldiers participating in the war!"

Levin was also excited. Although his personality was a bit strange and flawed in his personality, he was really a wise monarch once he became serious.

Thinking that if the empire is lost, he will not be able to escape the position of a founding hereditary duke!
