Heroes of Silver Moon Chapter 495

At the end of the military and political meeting, Simon stood by the window, watching the crowd leave condescendingly, wondering what he was thinking.

Harris came to the side quietly, and said silently: "Siegel, it seems to be very angry!"

"Huh!" Looking at the scene outside the window, Simon snorted coldly, and replied, "Just after being demoted, he was promoted again. What is the discipline of being a new army?"

Harris nodded silently, and he knew that Simon would emphasize the discipline of the new army again.

"Go and run the Military Affairs Department. I know it will be very busy." Simon said slowly, still looking out the window.

He knew in his heart that no matter how much he said, he would not be able to change Simon's decision, so Harris didn't say anything, and left in silence.

Simon looked out the window, which was a thriving territory under the blessing of the law. He murmured: "If human feelings are above the rules, how can we convince the public?"

In the castle of the Cochrane family, Fritz handed a secret letter to the Viscount Cochrane, and said excitedly: "Father, there is a letter from the capital, saying that we are required to cooperate."

Viscount Cochrane raised his eyebrows, opened the letter and read it carefully, his brows were sometimes gloomy and sometimes relieved, Fritz was scratching his heart while reading.

Because of jealousy, and even more because of humiliation, he hated Simon to the core. Now that he finally got a chance to kill Simon, how could he not be tempted.

However, he couldn't figure out why his father seemed so unhappy when faced with such a good opportunity.

"Hmph, these guys in the royal capital really think of themselves as characters. They are just a group of court nobles who are attached to the royal family. How dare they speak like this to a real lord like me!"

Clutching the letter full of arrogance, Viscount Cochrane said with a sullen face.

Fritz was a little stunned, and then suddenly realized, he said such a good opportunity, how could his father be reluctant? It turned out that the royal capital was too arrogant.

"Then father, do we want to cooperate?" Fritz asked Viscount Cochrane's expression.

"Yes, why not, let our Anzi buried in the new law collar fully cooperate, hmph, I want to see how this Lord Simon will deal with this assassin from the Shadow Church?" Viscount Cochrane sneered.

Fritz was overjoyed, and quickly nodded in response: "Understood, I'll make arrangements."

…

A caravan came to Xinfaling. Looking at the prosperous town in front of him, Wallace couldn't help being a little happy, and secretly sighed: "Ah, I didn't expect the rumors to be true. There is such a place in such a place where the birds don't shit. A vibrant town."

The most important thing is that this territory has just been developed, and there is no caravan yet to settle in. It is completely a virgin land, and their products are also very special, which will definitely make the new lord's heart flutter.

Looking at the middle of the convoy, a carriage covered in black cloth, a trace of distress flashed in Wallace's eyes. If their products hadn't been unsalable recently, he would never have given away this treasure to others!

The convoy was driving slowly, and a guard accompanying him lowered his eyes. If he wasn't still walking, he might have been thought to be asleep, appearing silent and with a low sense of presence.

If a master observes carefully, he will find a terrible fact. Not only did this person walk on the dirt road, he didn't make a sound, but he didn't even have a shoe print.

But unfortunately, no one noticed that such a person came to Xinfaling.

Coming to the edge of the town, looking at the town without city walls or gates, a trace of suspicion flashed in Wallace's eyes. Even if the city walls are not needed to protect the people, city taxes must be collected after all.

Why not close and surround the town, so that it can prevent someone from sneaking in in order not to pay the city tax?

Although he was puzzled, Wallace did not stop. As long as there are enough benefits, even if it is a fatal danger, it is not enough to stop a businessman, let alone mere doubts.

A group of soldiers in khaki uniforms and with strange weapons on their shoulders walked towards each other in neat steps. Wallace felt a pang in his heart and hurriedly directed the convoy to get out of the way.

In this world, soldiers can be equated with bandits and robbers, but what caravans are most afraid of encountering is not robbers, but these soldiers. At the very least, the robbers will give them a chance to pay tolls.

In most cases, as long as the tolls are paid, the robbers generally don't make things difficult for them. After all, when they go out to do business, they will be equipped with certain guards in the team. It's not worth it.

But soldiers are different. Soldiers have higher combat effectiveness and more sophisticated weapons and equipment. The most important thing is that in order to prevent the incident from leaking, they will definitely kill everyone to silence them. The level of ferocity is outrageous.

The officer leading the team seemed to have spotted them and led the team directly to the caravan.

Wallace's heart tightened, and he quickly took out a money bag from his arms, greeted him with a smile on his face, and said, "Master, I'm really sorry, it's the first time we've come here, and we don't know where to pay the city tax. This is the tax paid by the villain, and the rest is to honor the military lords."

Wallace could see clearly that the officer in charge had greed in his eyes for the money bag he handed over, but for some reason, he just refused to take it.

"Could it be that the money given is less?" Wallace inevitably had this thought in his mind.

Just as he was distressed and was about to take out another purse, a thick voice came from the side.

"What's the matter?" The blood wolf came from a distance with a few [sheriffs] selected from the new army.

The leading officer, the greed in his eyes dissipated in an instant, and he replied with a smile: "It's Lord Blood Wolf! It's okay, I just saw a caravan coming, and according to Lord Simon's instructions, we have to guide it. And check them out."

"Hmph." Blood Wolf snorted coldly, and replied: "You don't know that these things have been handed over to our Public Security Department?"

He has been in the gray area all year round. In the capital, he has dealt with the greedy guards a lot. Of course he knows what these people want to do just now. If the new army has clear discipline rules, I am afraid that these people would have taken their money bags long ago. up.

"Yes, yes, you are right, let's go now." The squad leader led the team away with a smile.

"You are?" Looking at the blood wolf and others in black uniforms, Wallace was a little puzzled. It was the first time he saw that someone could drive away soldiers who were about to accept bribes.

"I am the director of the Public Security Department of Xinfaling. Of course, this title is a bit weird. You can understand it as the Chief of Security. You are the new caravan?" Blood Wolf tried hard to be gentle, but unfortunately his face was covered with scars. No matter how much she smiled, her face would only become more ferocious.

Sheriff? Wallace was shocked, and quickly handed over two money bags, and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Sheriff, we didn't find out where to pay the city tax, so we just came in. This is the tax paid and respect for you."

Looking at the businessman who was humiliating and trying to build a good relationship with himself as a [powerful person], Xuelang sighed in his heart.

The concept of class in this world is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the concept of corruption has not only taken root in the hearts of officials, but also deeply affected all the people. This is the atmosphere of the whole world, and it is very difficult to change it.

Lord Simon, you really chose a [good path]!

Seeing that the blood wolf didn't take the money bag, Wallace almost went crazy. He never thought that the officials and soldiers in this territory would be so greedy, and the bribes they wanted to collect were far higher than other places.

Ma De, it really is a remote place, after this trip, I will never come again! Wallace scolded in his heart.

The blood wolf came back to his senses, looked at Wallace who was about to take out more money bags, and said with a wry smile: "Don't take it out, in this territory, the lord has orders to cancel the city entrance tax and prohibit the collection of bribes, even if you take a We will never have the guts to collect the golden mountain in front of us!"

Wallace's body froze, and he looked at the blood wolf with a face full of astonishment, no city tax and no bribes, is there such an idiot lord in this world?

Regardless of his surprise, Blood Wolf went on to say: "According to the regulations, all caravans entering the new law must be inspected by the Public Security Department. Shall I check your merchandise?"

Wallace's body trembled, and he suddenly recovered from the shock, hung the purse back on his waist, and said with a smile: "Of course, of course, please, my lord."

The blood wolf brought three magistrates, that is, the police established in the new law, to the convoy to check, tea, tobacco, porcelain, silk...

They have to travel here and there to trade in various places, so the goods in the caravan are very miscellaneous, but they are all valuable things.

After checking all the goods, the blood wolf came to the carriage covered with black cloth, and asked Wallace beside him, "What's in it?"

Wallace had a weird expression on his face, and he leaned into the blood wolf's ear and whispered, "It's a gift for the lord, and I hope to gain his friendship."

The blood wolf nodded, but still insisted on checking. Wallace had no choice but to allow the blood wolf to lift a corner of the cloth to check secretly.

Lifting a corner of the mask, the blood wolf glanced in his eyes, his eyes straightened suddenly, and a hot feeling rushed into his heart, so he quickly looked back and put down the mask again.

"It's interesting, brother, you are very good!" The blood wolf looked weird, and patted Wallace on the shoulder with a smile that men could understand.

Wallace smiled wryly, and then asked expectantly: "I wonder if you can introduce me to the lord, and I want to talk about business cooperation with the lord."

The blood wolf agreed to Wallace's request without any hesitation, because the gift on the carriage was indeed very expensive, and he also guessed what the businessman was doing. Simon had explained before that this is exactly Goods required by the new legislation.

Leading the caravan, the blood wolf walked towards the lord's mansion, completely unaware that the guard in the caravan was blindfolded.

Simon is working in his study, but he has nothing to do. The military affairs are handed over to Harris, and the government affairs are all handed over to Deborah. He only needs to set aside one day every ten days to deal with the backlog of civil disputes and criminal cases .

The first thing to deal with must be criminal cases, not many, just three things, two theft incidents, and one wounding incident that evolved from a quarrel. The facts of the case are clear and undisputed.

If the thief returns the property, he will be forced to work for half a year. Those who are unwilling or unable to return it will be given one year of hard labor. If the amount stolen is huge, another calculation will be made.

For the wounded, the first attacking party and the self-defense party are separated. The first attacking party bears the responsibility, and the compensation and labor time are determined according to the injury of the self-defending party.

After handling the criminal case, Simon opened up the backlog of civil disputes. This is also the most numerous category. It is all trivial matters. There are hundreds of them.

"It seems that we have to quickly train judicial officials." He scratched his hair in distress.

In military affairs, he has Harris and his confidants, so he can let go completely. In terms of government affairs, with Deborah as the leader, he can basically rest assured.

Only the Ministry of Justice, he can't rest assured that the new law is the foundation of the territory, and the loyalty and integrity of the officials of the Ministry of Justice must be ensured so that there will be no trouble in the new law.

However, there are tens of thousands of talents in the world, but loyal and honest talents are hard to find. You may not be able to find such talents in the Silver Moon Kingdom, and you must rely on Simon to cultivate them.

Because in the outside world, there is no soil for such talents to take root and sprout, only Xinfa has it!

boom! boom! boom! Just as Simon was in distress, there was a knock on the door, followed by the voice of the blood wolf: "Master Simon, I am the blood wolf. There is a businessman who wants to see you."

Simon took back the file, put on a solemn look, and said with a straight face, "Come in!"

Blood Wolf and Wallace pushed the door in, and Wallace saw the young boy who was facing the door at a glance.

"Who is this?" Although he had some guesses in his mind, he still couldn't believe that this boy, who might not even be twenty years old, would be the lord who opened up this new territory.

"This is the lord of our new law collar, the distinguished master mage, the builder Simon." The blood wolf gave Wallace a wink, and Wallace understood it, and quickly knelt down on one knee to salute.

"Master Simon, this is Wallace, a businessman from Dano Port, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com He has a deal to discuss with you, and he also brought you a gift." The blood wolf bowed humbly Said.

"Okay, I see, you step back first!" Simon replied with a straight face.

"Yes." Blood Wolf turned and left without any sloppiness, he knew that Simon was very practical.

If you do a good job, even if you don't have any praise, Simon will reward you. If you do a mess, even if you praise the young lord, he won't get close to you.

"Tell me, what business is it?" After the blood wolf left, Simon asked with great interest. The blood wolf is not a fool, and he would definitely not recommend an ordinary businessman. This person must be doing something special.

"Master Simon, I have prepared a gift. I don't know if it will be able to catch your eye?" With permission, Wallace stood up and said.

"Oh, what, take it up and have a look." Simon said nonchalantly. As a traveler who has seen the world on Blue Star, except for some things related to extraordinary power, this world really doesn't have anything, which can surprise him s things.

Seeing the indifference of the young lord, Wallace smiled and asked someone to bring in a thing that was covered by a black cloth and looked like a big box.

"What makes it so mysterious?" Simon felt a little pained in his heart.

"See if you stay calm for a while!" Wallace was also full of smiles, and he was very satisfied that he could destroy the mood of such a lord, so you can pretend to be aggressive!

Let people go out, close the door, and Wallace jerked the cloth away.

In the big iron cage, a pair of petite elf sisters who are about 70% similar in appearance, are hugging each other and shivering, and the people who see them are suddenly filled with love.

"Goo." Simon swallowed silently, no man could refuse such a gift.
