Here, the Lord said this is a good thing
Chapter 102 Simple Plan
Chapter 102 Simple Plan
"That man is the monster user of [Masquerade]."
During dinner, Catalina suddenly mentioned something to Yehe.
"Ok?"
There was a very obvious doubt on Ye He's face. He thought for two seconds before reacting. Katarina was talking about the man he killed in the afternoon, who used his class ability to influence Yulia.
"Ah."
Without pausing, he cut off a small piece of tender and juicy veal steak on the plate and put it into his mouth.
For Ye He, killing a monster user whose background was profound enough for Catalina to mention it without regard for etiquette at the dinner table was as meaningless as a piece of steak he had just eaten.
After all, he had just challenged multiple righteous gods earlier, so what does a monster user mean?
Ye He's indifference made Catalina's eyes sparkle even more. Catalina knew that when she specifically mentioned it at this time, Ye He would understand that the monster [Masquerade] made the organization not simple.
But Ye He's sincere indifference and inadvertent revelation of his unparalleled domination was what made Catalina's heart beat.
A person who knows the pros and cons of advancing and retreating doesn't care, which shows that he is confident. If other people were so contemptuous of the famous [Masquerade], Catalina would only think that this person is a bit arrogant.
Of course, there must be a reason why beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but don’t forget that Ye He was already in front of Catalina. In addition to rushing on the road, in a few minutes, he solved two problems for her that she had been unable to do. Solved puzzle.
Even if he is arrogant, Ye He has proven that he has the capital to be arrogant.
At the same time, in the restaurant where the two of them were dining, or to be precise, right next to the box where they were, several people of different ages and genders, all well-dressed, were already in the box. Sit down at the dining table.
"Gryphon, your grandson has been killed."
A woman wearing a bright red evening dress who looked like an aristocratic beauty said bluntly to an old gentleman with sharp eyes sitting opposite her.
The old gentleman's face had always been gloomy, but now that he heard the woman say this, his face became even more gloomy.
His sharp eyes like a falcon moved from the woman's smiling face to behind her.
Through a thick wall, he seemed to "see" the figure of Ye He who was having dinner with Catalina.
"I know," the old gentleman stared at Ye He and said, "I also know that the murderer is behind you, sitting eight feet and four inches away from you, dining with Princess Catalina."
In addition to the woman with an increasingly sweet smile, the other people at the table include a young gentleman with clear eyes who is fifteen or sixteen years old, a lady who is about the same age as the woman but with deeper eyes, and a middle-aged gentleman who looks to be in his 30s. , couldn't help but look at the wall behind the woman together.
Of course, they didn't have the eyes of the old gentleman "Gryphon" who could see through the wall. They could only see the landscape oil paintings hanging on the wall, but they each had their own abilities, and they soon obtained the results through their own "methods". Information from Ye He.
"Ha! He's actually a mortal?"
The young gentleman with clear eyes couldn't wait to laugh, as if he was infected by the woman. He deliberately spoke of Ye He's mortal state without any monster power. Although his eyes were as clear as water, the meaning conveyed in his words The ill will towards the old gentleman was so obvious.
"Oh... he is so handsome... he is worthy of being the man who can make Princess Catalina fall in love with him. Do you want to draw him into our [Masquerade]?"
The lady with deep eyes seemed to have detected Ye He's specific appearance.
She opened her mouth to introduce Ye He into their organization, and did not even mention the fact that Griffin's grandson was killed by Ye He.
The gryphon moved his eyes and glanced at the malicious young gentleman. The sharp gaze that penetrated his soul immediately made the young man stick out his tongue and lower his head to drink the soup in front of him.
Then the griffon glanced at the lady again, but the lady smiled and looked at him without fear, as if her "interest" in Ye He's handsome appearance was enough to support her against the griffin.
"Huh? Orochi, what did you "see"?"
The woman who first spoke to provoke the gryphon suddenly noticed that the middle-aged gentleman's face was gradually becoming extremely pale, and dense cold sweat was oozing out from his forehead, which was quickly condensing into drops and dripping from his unblinking eyes. .
Others also looked at this middle-aged gentleman. This man known as "The Big Snake" was one of the top "strong men" in their [Masquerade] organization.
Orochi is a murderous man, and the others combined may not be as good as him. Why is he suddenly so nervous, as if...
He "saw" something from Ye He next door that made him extremely frightened!
"1...4...6..."
From the slightly trembling lips of the big snake, numbers began to spit out, as if counting something.
The little gentleman who was more "familiar" with the big snake, his eyes trembled fiercely, he immediately turned around and stared at the wall in shock.
Only he knew that the big snake was counting the resentment left by those who were wrapped around Ye He and killed by Ye He!
“9……7……7,146977!146977!!!”
Orochi's entire face was distorted, his eyes were horrified, and his body began to tremble a little. He didn't look like he had any gentlemanly temperament at all.
"what is this?"
The woman looked at the young gentleman who also started to tremble, and the others also looked at him.
"This..." The little gentleman came back to his senses and looked around at these ignorant adults. His lips were trembling involuntarily, and the spoon in his hand had been unknowingly deformed.
"This is... one hundred thousand... 14... six thousand nine hundred and seventy seven... this is..."
"Is it the number of guys I've killed...? It's interesting. I still have this ability. I've never counted it myself."
The box door was opened from the outside, and Ye He stood at the door, smiling at the people in the box who turned pale.
After giving a little space to Catalina who was following him, Ye He pointed at these people and introduced to Catalina:
"These people are the [Masquerade] you are talking about? They don't wear masks either."
"Sir Martell (the serpent)...Mrs. Jacob (the noble lady)...Miss Jasmine (the woman)...the second son of the Curtis family (the boy), and...Mr. Bradley (the lion) Eagle)..."
Catalina revealed the true identities of these people one by one, her face a little ugly.
Indeed, not wearing a mask is the biggest mistake of these people.
How did they know that Ye He had a nanorobot for detection like Caesar? Not to mention that they went to the next door to Ye He. The entire block where the restaurant was located was within Caesar's surveillance range and could be seen in front of Ye He's eyes.
If Caesar's surveillance area wasn't large enough, and the larger the coverage area, the harder it would be to find out the details. Ye He could have checked Siegwig on his own, and there would be no need to find information to get offline.
The people in the room were caught off guard by the sudden arrival of Ye He and Catalina. They were even more shocked by Ye He's terrible "record" and did not dare to act rashly.
What's worse is that they once relied on their true identity to cooperate with the organizational forces of [Masquerade] and gained a lot of benefits, but now they have been nakedly exposed to Katarina.
Bradley, code-named Griffin, was already a little bit unable to sit still. He was an aristocratic minister serving William Mut IV. Once Catalina reported his true identity to William Mut IV, his family was ruined and everyone was in danger. For Radley, I'm afraid it will all be a "merciful" ending.
His eyes fell on Catalina, and his eyes were constantly struggling with various lights. Even Ye He, the enemy of his grandson, he no longer cared about.
The younger Miss Jasmine and Little Curtis were also panicked. The crimes that [Masquerade] had committed were enough to make their family abandon their car to protect their handsome men, so they couldn't help but keep a close eye on Katrin. Na.
After a moment of panic, Mrs. Jacob calmed down inexplicably. She still had the energy to look at the smiling Ye He, even though she was about to be in disaster, even though she already knew that Ye He was a terrifying murderer. , but this did not prevent her from showing an "interested" attitude towards Ye He.
Sir Martell, who was looking at Ye He with Mrs. Jacob, behaved differently from everyone else. He was so scared that he almost knelt down to Ye He!
In Martell's eyes, Ye He was not a handsome and elegant oriental gentleman, but he was clearly a terrifying blood beast with a grin on his face!
Hundreds of thousands of dead souls and resentful spirits were trampled under the feet of this bloody beast. The mutilated and ferocious bodies of these dead souls symbolized that they had experienced the most terrible destruction before being killed by Ye He. They were trampled on The blood beast holding him did not dare to resist at all, so he could only lift it high, not even daring to ask for relief!
"Ho...ho...ho..."
Martell suddenly felt a terrible sharp pain when his heart beat. He subconsciously clenched his chest, opened his mouth and gasped for air, as if he was about to suffocate.
"Ok?"
Ye He looked at Martell with interest. It was this man's special ability. Can he count how many monsters and humans he had killed?
His gaze made Martell suddenly widen his eyes. How could anyone bear the interest of a blood beast that trampled over [-] dead souls towards him?
Martell, who already had a bad heart, felt that his heart suddenly burst out with an extremely terrible pain, and then suddenly stopped beating.
"Snapped."
Martell's head hit the dining table, and his eyes that gradually lost their light were still staring as wide as possible, with extremely frightened eyes, reflecting Ye He's slightly frowning expression.
He died, of his unhealthy heart, which had ceased to function after being subjected to excessive fear.
Martel, who was "scared" to death by Ye He, made the other people at the table quickly clear up their eyes and no longer dared to ignore Ye He.
The threat that Catalina brought to them was in the future, but the threat that Ye He brought to them... was an immediate and equally fatal threat!
But as soon as Martell died, Ye He lost all interest. He turned back to Katerina and said:
"Forget it, I'll leave this to you, I'll leave first."
"Ah."
Catalina nodded to Ye He and made room for Ye He. Ye He was not polite and actually left the door of the box just like that.
And after Ye He left, Catalina stepped into the box alone and closed the door of the box with her own hands.
This strange turn of events made several people at the table start to flicker their eyes again.
They didn't know why Ye He dared to leave a delicate princess here alone, but with Ye He gone and the current threat gone, couldn't they just concentrate on dealing with Katarina, the future threat?
Control her!
Deal with her!
Deal with her!
Bradley, Jasmine, Mrs. Jacobs, and little Curtis looked at each other one by one, and immediately locked in the common thoughts between them.
They are [Masquerade], isn't what they are best at controlling and influencing other people's sanity?
Especially Bradley and Mrs. Jacob. They are fifth-level monster users. Aren't they easy to deal with a mortal princess like Katarina?
No need to talk nonsense, no need to think too much, four people, led by Bradley, released the same class ability to Catalina at the same time.
Invisible and insubstantial monster power surged out from the four people, overwhelmingly rushing towards the calm-looking Katarina...
"Crack!"
A bit of lavender thunder flashed in Catalina's eyes. Facing the surging monster power, Catalina showed a faint smile.
"Om..."
A lavender thunder halo was suddenly released from Katarina's body, and it spread to the entire room in the blink of an eye!
When the power of all the monsters came into contact with this thunder halo, they immediately disappeared. The four monsters immediately stood up their hair and their hair and heels. Before they could make any movement, their bodies were swept away by the thunder halo. Pass.
Terrible pain erupted in the bodies of the four people at the same time. Like Martell, they involuntarily knocked their heads on the dining table.
Apart from being forced to widen their eyes, they could not move a finger, because the thunder and lightning in this thunder halo had completely paralyzed their bodies, making them unable to even breathe normally, and only their hearts were still beating. .
"ignorance……"
Catalina, whose expression was still calm, suppressed the smile on her face. She stretched out her right hand, and between her five long white fingers, the purple electric light was beating continuously.
All the thunder in the room quickly returned to Katarina's fingers. As Katarina clenched her fist, all the thunder and lightning disappeared immediately, as if nothing had happened.
"Ding!"
A one-eyed badge that symbolized the infinite eye was flicked out by Catalina with the same hand, and landed in the center of the dining table facing several heads.
The four people who had just recovered their ability to breathe reluctantly turned their heads and tried their best to look at the badge. They quickly recognized the origin of the badge and realized Katrina's other identity: the person responsible for the Infinite Eye. people.
"From now on, [Masquerade] no longer exists."
After announcing the verdict and completing the collection, Catalina opened the door of the box and left the box.
She no longer needs to deal with these people for the time being, and then she will slowly let them spit out what they have eaten and serve the Infinite Eye.
After walking out of the restaurant, Catalina quickly came to the carriage, took a look inside the empty carriage, and looked at Karl in confusion.
"If you leave, you don't think he will always stay with you, right?"
Karl was referring to Ye He. Just now, Ye He left the restaurant first, nodded to him as a greeting, and left alone towards the city of Siegwig.
As soon as she heard that Ye He was not waiting for her here, Catalina immediately pouted unhappily, muttered a few words in a low voice, got into the carriage, and asked Karl to take her back to the First Hotel.
Fortunately, Ye He will return to the No. [-] Hotel to rest sooner or later, and she still has plenty of "opportunities."
And the experience of traveling with Ye He today also made Katarina feel that she had gained a lot.
A "solution" to solve the slums, two long-standing "problems", and a [Masquerade] organization that has troubled Catalina for a long time.
In addition to these tangible gains, Catalina also feels that she understands Ye He better and is getting closer and closer to Ye He.
Just now, Ye He left [Masquerade] to her disposal. This tacit understanding is the best proof.
She believed that the day when she truly entered Ye He's heart wouldn't be too far away.
……
Sigwig is the capital of the Laurent Empire and one of the largest cities in the empire.
But in Ye He's eyes, Siegwig was far worse than Darwell.
Apart from the Willamette Palace, there is only the King's Road in Siegwig that leads directly to the palace, which is as wide as the main street of Cedarville. First of all, the other streets are much narrower and shorter than Cedarville.
Forget about the inner city, the city where aristocrats are everywhere will of course be better built. At least it looks clean and tidy and less crowded. But in the outer city, the buildings here seem to be competing for something, and the streets are packed to the brim. It looks like The street lights were pushed from the sidewalk onto the street.
Moreover, it was only around seven o'clock in the evening, and there were no pedestrians on the street. Almost [-]% of the shops were closed. Obviously, the security in the outer city was not bad, but Ye He felt that the security here was very bad. It's so ordinary, people don't dare to go out for a night life at night.
A stray wild cat that was rummaging through the trash can raised its head from the trash can and stared unblinkingly at Ye He who was walking not far away from it with its green eyes.
Its eyes were so unruly and not afraid of strangers at all. It seemed to regard Ye He as an invader who came to snatch its trash can.
Ye He stared back unceremoniously, then raised his pistol and pulled the trigger.
The bullets flying over the wild cat's head made the wild cat meow in fright, and it fell into the trash can unsteadily.
In the alley behind the trash can, a monster that had just stretched out its claws towards the wild cat was successfully hit by a bullet and fell down. The blue-white flames that exploded only lasted for a few seconds and then went out. There was nothing else. Humans discovered it, but they were all seen by the wild cat that poked its head out of the trash can.
This little humane thing turned around, but only saw Ye He's back walking further and further away.
……
Several tentacles with barbs shot out from the shadow and rolled behind the passerby, but a gun muzzle protruded from the passerby's ribs, and a bullet hit the body of the monster in the shadow, knocking it out. As the tentacles twitched, they were swallowed up by blue-white flames.
Ye He looked back at the "clean" shadow and retracted his previous judgment.
Each city has its own "national conditions". Due to various special reasons, the number of monsters appearing in Cedarville is relatively rare. Recently, there have been no monsters at all.
But like here in Shigwig, the monsters are wreaking havoc in the shadows without hesitation. Whenever night falls, they will hunt for life in the darkness.
People in the outer city do not live at night, so it should be a social choice of "survival of the fittest", right?
Not to mention that Sigwig is the imperial capital of the Laurent Empire, not to mention the Willamette Palace, and even the Grand Holy See of the Moon Glory Church, are all in this city.
In fact, it may be precisely because these two parties are in this city that Sigwig's monsters were not effectively wiped out.
This was only the outer city, and monsters were already raging on every street. Over there in the slums... Ye He suddenly lost the interest in continuing to walk at night to eliminate the monsters in the entire city. He couldn't do it without using a series of weapons. It can be done, and it is very "treating the symptoms but not the root cause".
Let's go back and talk to Ekaterina... "Solving" the problem in the slums quickly is the greatest relief to these poor people in every sense.
After thinking about this, Ye He turned around and prepared to go back to the First Hotel.
Ye He suddenly turned around and startled the wild cat!
Ye He had always known about this wild cat following him. Now he glanced at it playfully. Although it was just a mixed-haired wild cat, let alone that, it was really smart and quite humane.
The wild cat recovered from the fright. It shook its body and relaxed the hair that had exploded. Then, three or four meters away from Ye He, it dropped a piece of fish steak in its mouth to the ground. Then, It lowered its body and retreated back step by step.
Is this... for me?
Ye He didn't expect that a wild cat actually knew how to repay a favor. It actually realized that Ye He saved its life, so it followed Ye He with the fish steak and gave it to Ye He.
"Meow."
After retreating a few meters, the wild cat sat up and barked at Ye He in a low voice, seeming to urge Ye He not to be "ignorant".
Then it reluctantly glanced at the fish steaks on the ground, turned around and jumped into the alley to leave the street.
"Ah……"
As Ye He let out a chuckle, a "hand" suddenly grabbed the back of the wild cat's neck, lifted it up, and sent it towards Ye He.
"Meow! Hiss...meow!!"
The wild cat was frightened by the invisible "hand" formed by Camelot, and its hair exploded again. It struggled wildly, but to no avail.
"All right."
Ye He barked at it, and it seemed to realize that it was the human in front of it who grabbed it with invisible hands. It bravely waved its little paw towards Ye He, as if it wanted to teach this "repaying kindness with evil" a lesson. , human beings who “do not know good from evil”.
"Hehe, he's pretty good. You can follow me from now on!"
After saying that, Ye He no longer cared whether the wild cat understood what he meant. He took a step forward, stepped on a silver disc that appeared at his feet, and flew up with the wild cat beside him.
The screams of frightened wild cats rang out in the night sky, and a stream of smelly cat urine fell from the sky.
"Sir? This..."
Ye He was holding a mixed-haired wild cat in the air next to him. This was a look that Yulia had never seen before. She looked at the frightened wild cat with a critical look, holding its head and shivering.
Being brought back directly by Ye He, could this cat... be the incarnation of some old god?Or is it a very special monster?
"It's just a wild cat," Ye He explained to Yulia with a smile, so that the little maid didn't have to think too much.
“I thought it was quite smart, so I decided to keep it.
From today on, it's called... Bartley!Well, I’ll call you Bartley! "
Ye He pointed at the wild cat's nose with his finger and named it with a smile, which made both Yulia and the wild cat look at it for a moment.
"Yuliya, take it and clean it. Don't worry, it won't hurt anyone."
This is also the reason why Ye He has never taken action against Bartley. A few minutes ago, he was digging through the trash can.
"Uh... yes."
Yulia stepped forward and wanted to reach out to take Bartley, but Bartley immediately hissed at Yulia, and showed his little claws again, waving them fiercely, so that Yulia didn't dare to take action.
"Hey."
Ye He waved his hand, and Camelot's silver light appeared on Bartley's body, causing him to shut his mouth and put down his claws.
Bartley was horrified to find that he couldn't move. A force was constantly preventing it from attacking the woman in front of him. He could only let the woman grab it, take it to a small white room, and put herself into the water. !
Although I finally landed on all fours, this is water!This is the water it hates the most!
It hates even warm water!
But Bartley was still unable to move under the restrictions of Camelot, so he could only let Yulia give him a bath. The uncomfortable Bartley kept whining.
"Haha, we can't refuse what you have decided, so just accept your fate! Ouch... you are really dirty..."
Leaving Yulia in the bathroom to give Bartley a bath, Yehe turned and flew out of the balcony and went to Ekaterina's room on the upper floor.
As expected, Ekaterina took a bath in her swimming pool-like bathtub again, but the smart Katerina had anticipated in advance that Yehe might come to visit Ekaterina.
Wearing only a bath towel, she was half-kneeling on the edge of the bath, massaging Ekaterina's shoulders and neck.
As soon as she saw Ye He appearing at the door, she immediately stared at Ye He with a blushing face, as if she wanted to urge Ye He to quickly undress and take a bath.
“Let’s talk about the ghetto problem.”
Ye He only said this to the young and old princesses, then turned and left the bathroom.
This sentence also made Catalina "calm down" instantly.
She couldn't wait to let go of her hand, and urged Ekaterina, who still didn't understand what Ye He was talking about: "Auntie, get up quickly, hurry up."
"Huh? What are you talking about? What do you mean by ghetto problems?"
That is to say, Caterina can keep Yekaterina from being angry, but if they don't understand Katerina's explanation, Yekaterina, who is accustomed to doing her own thing, will not care about them.
"Ye He has a way to solve the problem in the slums, which is to let the poor live a normal life!"
Katerina explained to Ekaterina concisely.
Ekaterina was stunned for a moment, and her eyes immediately became serious.
She got up from the bathtub, without wiping or covering up, and just strode outside. But before stepping out of the bathroom, she waved towards the bathtub, and the water droplets stuck to her body automatically left her body. , splashed back into the bath.
Katerina didn't care to bring a bath towel to her aunt. She left the bathhouse closely behind Yekaterina and found Ye He in Yekaterina's study.
"If you have a way, please tell me. The Williamtes will agree to it no matter what the conditions are."
In these few steps, Yekaterina had already figured out that letting the poor live a normal life meant more than just restoring the dignity of the imperial capital to Sigwig, and more importantly, , she clearly understood that Ye He had a way to provide a large number of jobs for the empire!
Transform poor people without regular jobs into normal citizens with regular jobs, and transform vacant and wasted productivity into normal productivity.
This sentence seems very easy to say, as if it is as simple as introducing a job.
But...size!Volume!Volume!
There are too many poor people!
With such a size, even the empire is helpless. Does Ye He really have any good ideas?
"Well, my condition is very simple. Just give me [-]% of the shares in this business worth hundreds of billions of gold pounds."
Ye He sat leisurely on the chair, and his words made the young and old princess frown together.
"cause?"
Ekaterina didn’t understand what career Ye He was referring to.
"Several thousand...billion?"
Catalina was frightened by this number.
"Ha ha."
Ye He smiled. He stretched out his hand and gestured while explaining to the princess: "A city the same size as Cedarville, plus all the cities, towns, counties, and even cities throughout the Laurent Empire. It’s a rural road network. Isn’t it worth hundreds of billions?
I know you don’t understand what I’m talking about. It’s actually very simple. I wonder if you have heard of this term…”
Ye He, who leaned back on the chair and became more and more relaxed, uttered a new and shocking term to the expectant princess:
“…relief for work!”
"Relief for work?"
Catalina was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, work-for-relief."
Ye He nodded.
"You mean...no, please explain in detail!"
Ekaterina seemed to realize something, but she couldn't explain it clearly. She stared at Ye He closely, the curiosity in her eyes almost bursting out.
"Haha, work for relief, use the wages of work to replace relief for the poor."
Ye He had no choice but to stop talking and explained in detail.
He held out two fingers to Ekaterina and said to her: "Two meals. Two meals that can be eaten as much as you want, at the expense of the poor who eat these two meals, who have to work for us!"
The first step is to start here in Siegweig, starting from the road here, using the standards of the King's Road, paving the road outwards, and paving the road all the way!
The poor people have no fixed assets to begin with. Two meals are enough to allow them to move along with the progress of road paving. When they get to the right place and location, that's the second step!
Built the city!Build a new city!
While maintaining the work-for-relief program, we are tempted by the right to live in this new city and the meager salary!I can guarantee that it won’t take long for another Cedarville city to appear in the empire.
The implementation of work-for-relief does not need to be limited to Shigwig. It can be implemented in cities with slums throughout the empire!
If this continues, the roads will be connected sooner or later, and the road network throughout the Laurent Empire will be built sooner or later! "
"I understand! I understand!"
After understanding what Ye He meant, Catalina shivered several times in succession. She felt that the blood all over her body was already boiling!
"New town... road network..."
Ekaterina couldn't help but tremble. She realized what a terrible vitality a new city and a road network across the country would give to the entire Laurent Empire!
Once this plan is announced, businessmen throughout the empire will probably take their life savings and all their assets and send them to the Williamt family like crazy!Support the new city plan!
Moreover, in order to obtain the management rights of this new city, a new Cedarville-level city, the entire Shigwig nobles will be excited!
This is no longer a question of whether the plan can succeed. The precarious poor will not refuse to eat twice a day, absolutely not!The entire empire will be "activated" by this plan, glowing with vitality that Catherine never imagined.
It’s hard to fail this plan!
"Ye He! Ye He! Ye He!"
Catalina excitedly jumped into Ye He's arms and kept calling Ye He's name.
Her love for Ye He has reached its peak, and she can't wait to devote herself to Ye He immediately.
"you……"
Ekaterina wanted to reach out to indicate something, but she suddenly found that her fingers were trembling slightly.
She stood up from the chair and rushed into her bedroom.
While putting on her clothes, Ekaterina crushed a corner of a strange wooden figurine.
The special monster power erupted on the statuette. After a while, the voice of William Mut IV came out from the statuette:
"What's wrong."
"Come here at once! Come to the hotel! Immediately! That's right! Call your chancellor and all your confidants, immediately! Immediately!"
In the study room of the Williamite Palace, William IV, who was reviewing documents, looked at a statue of the same little man on the desk in astonishment.
He could swear that he had never heard his sister sound so excited in his life.
This feeling of uncontrollable surprise and excitement was successfully transformed into endless curiosity in the mind of William Mut IV.
How big and good must have happened to make Ekaterina so excited?
Do you want him to bring along the finance minister and his confidants?
"it is good."
After responding to the statue, William IV put down the pen in his hand.
The documents can be approved later, but he has to participate in the "great things" happening on his sister's side.
Is it because of Ye He?
After issuing the order to summon his confidants and the Chancellor of Finance, William IV was about to go out, but suddenly he thought of Ye He.
Could it be that this person favored by the outer gods finally decided to join the empire?
No, it's not like that. Even if Ye He was to officially marry Katerina, there was no reason for Yekaterina to be so surprised and excited.
With full curiosity, William IV got into the carriage.
Anyway, the First Hotel is right in front of the palace, not too far away.
About an hour later.
There are already several gray-haired old people in Ekaterina's study.
Catalina, who had changed into a royal attire, made tea for these old people with her own hands, then sat back next to Ye He and continued to look at Ye He with extremely adoring eyes.
Ekaterina was writing furiously behind her desk. She didn't know what she was writing, but her expression always seemed very excited, and the corners of her mouth were still raised and she kept smiling.
No one here touched the tea cup, even if it was the tea served by the princess.
Their thoughts had been completely aroused by Yekaterina's explanation just now, and everyone's eyes were shining brighter and brighter. In the end, this group of white-haired old people actually looked better than a group of teenagers. The young man is even more energetic!
"call……"
William IV breathed a long sigh of relief. He glanced at Ye He, and then looked at his finance minister.
This old man, who is the first finance minister of the empire, is also the contemporary head of the Favna family. He is one of the richest Gods of Wealth in the empire.
Feeling William IV's gaze, he also raised his eyes. The two old men looked at each other, and he suddenly chuckled at William IV:
"This is the first time in my life that I have encountered this kind of business that will never pay any compensation."
"Hahahaha!"
William IV burst out laughing.
Several other old people also raised their heads and looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
After all, a huge cake that had never been seen before actually landed in front of them!
After William IV finished laughing, he stood up with the help of crutches, and walked towards the door of the room with the old people who stood up together.
They need to go back to the palace and discuss carefully the "relief for work" plan, as well as the new city, road network and other plans that will be derived in the future!
This group of old men, who almost represent the top power of the entire Laurent Empire, have a kind of oath to look at the wolves in their actions, especially when they are about to complete an unprecedented great plan that can revitalize the entire empire. a while.
Before stepping out of the room, William IV suddenly stopped. He turned back and looked at Ye He.
He didn't say anything more, just turned around and left.
But he longed to live, and hoped that Ye He would completely solve the problems of the first generation of William Te, which he had already conveyed to Ye He.
If you have the opportunity to become a wise king and a great emperor who is famous throughout the continent, who would want to die?
Work-for-relief was first introduced in the Spring and Autumn Period, by Zheng Banqiao in the 18th century, and by Roosevelt in the 20th century. It is almost non-existent in Europe.
Don’t talk about the disadvantages. If someone doesn’t let me starve to death, I can even believe in him and worship him!
Please analyze the benefits of providing relief for work. (5 points)
(End of this chapter)
"That man is the monster user of [Masquerade]."
During dinner, Catalina suddenly mentioned something to Yehe.
"Ok?"
There was a very obvious doubt on Ye He's face. He thought for two seconds before reacting. Katarina was talking about the man he killed in the afternoon, who used his class ability to influence Yulia.
"Ah."
Without pausing, he cut off a small piece of tender and juicy veal steak on the plate and put it into his mouth.
For Ye He, killing a monster user whose background was profound enough for Catalina to mention it without regard for etiquette at the dinner table was as meaningless as a piece of steak he had just eaten.
After all, he had just challenged multiple righteous gods earlier, so what does a monster user mean?
Ye He's indifference made Catalina's eyes sparkle even more. Catalina knew that when she specifically mentioned it at this time, Ye He would understand that the monster [Masquerade] made the organization not simple.
But Ye He's sincere indifference and inadvertent revelation of his unparalleled domination was what made Catalina's heart beat.
A person who knows the pros and cons of advancing and retreating doesn't care, which shows that he is confident. If other people were so contemptuous of the famous [Masquerade], Catalina would only think that this person is a bit arrogant.
Of course, there must be a reason why beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but don’t forget that Ye He was already in front of Catalina. In addition to rushing on the road, in a few minutes, he solved two problems for her that she had been unable to do. Solved puzzle.
Even if he is arrogant, Ye He has proven that he has the capital to be arrogant.
At the same time, in the restaurant where the two of them were dining, or to be precise, right next to the box where they were, several people of different ages and genders, all well-dressed, were already in the box. Sit down at the dining table.
"Gryphon, your grandson has been killed."
A woman wearing a bright red evening dress who looked like an aristocratic beauty said bluntly to an old gentleman with sharp eyes sitting opposite her.
The old gentleman's face had always been gloomy, but now that he heard the woman say this, his face became even more gloomy.
His sharp eyes like a falcon moved from the woman's smiling face to behind her.
Through a thick wall, he seemed to "see" the figure of Ye He who was having dinner with Catalina.
"I know," the old gentleman stared at Ye He and said, "I also know that the murderer is behind you, sitting eight feet and four inches away from you, dining with Princess Catalina."
In addition to the woman with an increasingly sweet smile, the other people at the table include a young gentleman with clear eyes who is fifteen or sixteen years old, a lady who is about the same age as the woman but with deeper eyes, and a middle-aged gentleman who looks to be in his 30s. , couldn't help but look at the wall behind the woman together.
Of course, they didn't have the eyes of the old gentleman "Gryphon" who could see through the wall. They could only see the landscape oil paintings hanging on the wall, but they each had their own abilities, and they soon obtained the results through their own "methods". Information from Ye He.
"Ha! He's actually a mortal?"
The young gentleman with clear eyes couldn't wait to laugh, as if he was infected by the woman. He deliberately spoke of Ye He's mortal state without any monster power. Although his eyes were as clear as water, the meaning conveyed in his words The ill will towards the old gentleman was so obvious.
"Oh... he is so handsome... he is worthy of being the man who can make Princess Catalina fall in love with him. Do you want to draw him into our [Masquerade]?"
The lady with deep eyes seemed to have detected Ye He's specific appearance.
She opened her mouth to introduce Ye He into their organization, and did not even mention the fact that Griffin's grandson was killed by Ye He.
The gryphon moved his eyes and glanced at the malicious young gentleman. The sharp gaze that penetrated his soul immediately made the young man stick out his tongue and lower his head to drink the soup in front of him.
Then the griffon glanced at the lady again, but the lady smiled and looked at him without fear, as if her "interest" in Ye He's handsome appearance was enough to support her against the griffin.
"Huh? Orochi, what did you "see"?"
The woman who first spoke to provoke the gryphon suddenly noticed that the middle-aged gentleman's face was gradually becoming extremely pale, and dense cold sweat was oozing out from his forehead, which was quickly condensing into drops and dripping from his unblinking eyes. .
Others also looked at this middle-aged gentleman. This man known as "The Big Snake" was one of the top "strong men" in their [Masquerade] organization.
Orochi is a murderous man, and the others combined may not be as good as him. Why is he suddenly so nervous, as if...
He "saw" something from Ye He next door that made him extremely frightened!
"1...4...6..."
From the slightly trembling lips of the big snake, numbers began to spit out, as if counting something.
The little gentleman who was more "familiar" with the big snake, his eyes trembled fiercely, he immediately turned around and stared at the wall in shock.
Only he knew that the big snake was counting the resentment left by those who were wrapped around Ye He and killed by Ye He!
“9……7……7,146977!146977!!!”
Orochi's entire face was distorted, his eyes were horrified, and his body began to tremble a little. He didn't look like he had any gentlemanly temperament at all.
"what is this?"
The woman looked at the young gentleman who also started to tremble, and the others also looked at him.
"This..." The little gentleman came back to his senses and looked around at these ignorant adults. His lips were trembling involuntarily, and the spoon in his hand had been unknowingly deformed.
"This is... one hundred thousand... 14... six thousand nine hundred and seventy seven... this is..."
"Is it the number of guys I've killed...? It's interesting. I still have this ability. I've never counted it myself."
The box door was opened from the outside, and Ye He stood at the door, smiling at the people in the box who turned pale.
After giving a little space to Catalina who was following him, Ye He pointed at these people and introduced to Catalina:
"These people are the [Masquerade] you are talking about? They don't wear masks either."
"Sir Martell (the serpent)...Mrs. Jacob (the noble lady)...Miss Jasmine (the woman)...the second son of the Curtis family (the boy), and...Mr. Bradley (the lion) Eagle)..."
Catalina revealed the true identities of these people one by one, her face a little ugly.
Indeed, not wearing a mask is the biggest mistake of these people.
How did they know that Ye He had a nanorobot for detection like Caesar? Not to mention that they went to the next door to Ye He. The entire block where the restaurant was located was within Caesar's surveillance range and could be seen in front of Ye He's eyes.
If Caesar's surveillance area wasn't large enough, and the larger the coverage area, the harder it would be to find out the details. Ye He could have checked Siegwig on his own, and there would be no need to find information to get offline.
The people in the room were caught off guard by the sudden arrival of Ye He and Catalina. They were even more shocked by Ye He's terrible "record" and did not dare to act rashly.
What's worse is that they once relied on their true identity to cooperate with the organizational forces of [Masquerade] and gained a lot of benefits, but now they have been nakedly exposed to Katarina.
Bradley, code-named Griffin, was already a little bit unable to sit still. He was an aristocratic minister serving William Mut IV. Once Catalina reported his true identity to William Mut IV, his family was ruined and everyone was in danger. For Radley, I'm afraid it will all be a "merciful" ending.
His eyes fell on Catalina, and his eyes were constantly struggling with various lights. Even Ye He, the enemy of his grandson, he no longer cared about.
The younger Miss Jasmine and Little Curtis were also panicked. The crimes that [Masquerade] had committed were enough to make their family abandon their car to protect their handsome men, so they couldn't help but keep a close eye on Katrin. Na.
After a moment of panic, Mrs. Jacob calmed down inexplicably. She still had the energy to look at the smiling Ye He, even though she was about to be in disaster, even though she already knew that Ye He was a terrifying murderer. , but this did not prevent her from showing an "interested" attitude towards Ye He.
Sir Martell, who was looking at Ye He with Mrs. Jacob, behaved differently from everyone else. He was so scared that he almost knelt down to Ye He!
In Martell's eyes, Ye He was not a handsome and elegant oriental gentleman, but he was clearly a terrifying blood beast with a grin on his face!
Hundreds of thousands of dead souls and resentful spirits were trampled under the feet of this bloody beast. The mutilated and ferocious bodies of these dead souls symbolized that they had experienced the most terrible destruction before being killed by Ye He. They were trampled on The blood beast holding him did not dare to resist at all, so he could only lift it high, not even daring to ask for relief!
"Ho...ho...ho..."
Martell suddenly felt a terrible sharp pain when his heart beat. He subconsciously clenched his chest, opened his mouth and gasped for air, as if he was about to suffocate.
"Ok?"
Ye He looked at Martell with interest. It was this man's special ability. Can he count how many monsters and humans he had killed?
His gaze made Martell suddenly widen his eyes. How could anyone bear the interest of a blood beast that trampled over [-] dead souls towards him?
Martell, who already had a bad heart, felt that his heart suddenly burst out with an extremely terrible pain, and then suddenly stopped beating.
"Snapped."
Martell's head hit the dining table, and his eyes that gradually lost their light were still staring as wide as possible, with extremely frightened eyes, reflecting Ye He's slightly frowning expression.
He died, of his unhealthy heart, which had ceased to function after being subjected to excessive fear.
Martel, who was "scared" to death by Ye He, made the other people at the table quickly clear up their eyes and no longer dared to ignore Ye He.
The threat that Catalina brought to them was in the future, but the threat that Ye He brought to them... was an immediate and equally fatal threat!
But as soon as Martell died, Ye He lost all interest. He turned back to Katerina and said:
"Forget it, I'll leave this to you, I'll leave first."
"Ah."
Catalina nodded to Ye He and made room for Ye He. Ye He was not polite and actually left the door of the box just like that.
And after Ye He left, Catalina stepped into the box alone and closed the door of the box with her own hands.
This strange turn of events made several people at the table start to flicker their eyes again.
They didn't know why Ye He dared to leave a delicate princess here alone, but with Ye He gone and the current threat gone, couldn't they just concentrate on dealing with Katarina, the future threat?
Control her!
Deal with her!
Deal with her!
Bradley, Jasmine, Mrs. Jacobs, and little Curtis looked at each other one by one, and immediately locked in the common thoughts between them.
They are [Masquerade], isn't what they are best at controlling and influencing other people's sanity?
Especially Bradley and Mrs. Jacob. They are fifth-level monster users. Aren't they easy to deal with a mortal princess like Katarina?
No need to talk nonsense, no need to think too much, four people, led by Bradley, released the same class ability to Catalina at the same time.
Invisible and insubstantial monster power surged out from the four people, overwhelmingly rushing towards the calm-looking Katarina...
"Crack!"
A bit of lavender thunder flashed in Catalina's eyes. Facing the surging monster power, Catalina showed a faint smile.
"Om..."
A lavender thunder halo was suddenly released from Katarina's body, and it spread to the entire room in the blink of an eye!
When the power of all the monsters came into contact with this thunder halo, they immediately disappeared. The four monsters immediately stood up their hair and their hair and heels. Before they could make any movement, their bodies were swept away by the thunder halo. Pass.
Terrible pain erupted in the bodies of the four people at the same time. Like Martell, they involuntarily knocked their heads on the dining table.
Apart from being forced to widen their eyes, they could not move a finger, because the thunder and lightning in this thunder halo had completely paralyzed their bodies, making them unable to even breathe normally, and only their hearts were still beating. .
"ignorance……"
Catalina, whose expression was still calm, suppressed the smile on her face. She stretched out her right hand, and between her five long white fingers, the purple electric light was beating continuously.
All the thunder in the room quickly returned to Katarina's fingers. As Katarina clenched her fist, all the thunder and lightning disappeared immediately, as if nothing had happened.
"Ding!"
A one-eyed badge that symbolized the infinite eye was flicked out by Catalina with the same hand, and landed in the center of the dining table facing several heads.
The four people who had just recovered their ability to breathe reluctantly turned their heads and tried their best to look at the badge. They quickly recognized the origin of the badge and realized Katrina's other identity: the person responsible for the Infinite Eye. people.
"From now on, [Masquerade] no longer exists."
After announcing the verdict and completing the collection, Catalina opened the door of the box and left the box.
She no longer needs to deal with these people for the time being, and then she will slowly let them spit out what they have eaten and serve the Infinite Eye.
After walking out of the restaurant, Catalina quickly came to the carriage, took a look inside the empty carriage, and looked at Karl in confusion.
"If you leave, you don't think he will always stay with you, right?"
Karl was referring to Ye He. Just now, Ye He left the restaurant first, nodded to him as a greeting, and left alone towards the city of Siegwig.
As soon as she heard that Ye He was not waiting for her here, Catalina immediately pouted unhappily, muttered a few words in a low voice, got into the carriage, and asked Karl to take her back to the First Hotel.
Fortunately, Ye He will return to the No. [-] Hotel to rest sooner or later, and she still has plenty of "opportunities."
And the experience of traveling with Ye He today also made Katarina feel that she had gained a lot.
A "solution" to solve the slums, two long-standing "problems", and a [Masquerade] organization that has troubled Catalina for a long time.
In addition to these tangible gains, Catalina also feels that she understands Ye He better and is getting closer and closer to Ye He.
Just now, Ye He left [Masquerade] to her disposal. This tacit understanding is the best proof.
She believed that the day when she truly entered Ye He's heart wouldn't be too far away.
……
Sigwig is the capital of the Laurent Empire and one of the largest cities in the empire.
But in Ye He's eyes, Siegwig was far worse than Darwell.
Apart from the Willamette Palace, there is only the King's Road in Siegwig that leads directly to the palace, which is as wide as the main street of Cedarville. First of all, the other streets are much narrower and shorter than Cedarville.
Forget about the inner city, the city where aristocrats are everywhere will of course be better built. At least it looks clean and tidy and less crowded. But in the outer city, the buildings here seem to be competing for something, and the streets are packed to the brim. It looks like The street lights were pushed from the sidewalk onto the street.
Moreover, it was only around seven o'clock in the evening, and there were no pedestrians on the street. Almost [-]% of the shops were closed. Obviously, the security in the outer city was not bad, but Ye He felt that the security here was very bad. It's so ordinary, people don't dare to go out for a night life at night.
A stray wild cat that was rummaging through the trash can raised its head from the trash can and stared unblinkingly at Ye He who was walking not far away from it with its green eyes.
Its eyes were so unruly and not afraid of strangers at all. It seemed to regard Ye He as an invader who came to snatch its trash can.
Ye He stared back unceremoniously, then raised his pistol and pulled the trigger.
The bullets flying over the wild cat's head made the wild cat meow in fright, and it fell into the trash can unsteadily.
In the alley behind the trash can, a monster that had just stretched out its claws towards the wild cat was successfully hit by a bullet and fell down. The blue-white flames that exploded only lasted for a few seconds and then went out. There was nothing else. Humans discovered it, but they were all seen by the wild cat that poked its head out of the trash can.
This little humane thing turned around, but only saw Ye He's back walking further and further away.
……
Several tentacles with barbs shot out from the shadow and rolled behind the passerby, but a gun muzzle protruded from the passerby's ribs, and a bullet hit the body of the monster in the shadow, knocking it out. As the tentacles twitched, they were swallowed up by blue-white flames.
Ye He looked back at the "clean" shadow and retracted his previous judgment.
Each city has its own "national conditions". Due to various special reasons, the number of monsters appearing in Cedarville is relatively rare. Recently, there have been no monsters at all.
But like here in Shigwig, the monsters are wreaking havoc in the shadows without hesitation. Whenever night falls, they will hunt for life in the darkness.
People in the outer city do not live at night, so it should be a social choice of "survival of the fittest", right?
Not to mention that Sigwig is the imperial capital of the Laurent Empire, not to mention the Willamette Palace, and even the Grand Holy See of the Moon Glory Church, are all in this city.
In fact, it may be precisely because these two parties are in this city that Sigwig's monsters were not effectively wiped out.
This was only the outer city, and monsters were already raging on every street. Over there in the slums... Ye He suddenly lost the interest in continuing to walk at night to eliminate the monsters in the entire city. He couldn't do it without using a series of weapons. It can be done, and it is very "treating the symptoms but not the root cause".
Let's go back and talk to Ekaterina... "Solving" the problem in the slums quickly is the greatest relief to these poor people in every sense.
After thinking about this, Ye He turned around and prepared to go back to the First Hotel.
Ye He suddenly turned around and startled the wild cat!
Ye He had always known about this wild cat following him. Now he glanced at it playfully. Although it was just a mixed-haired wild cat, let alone that, it was really smart and quite humane.
The wild cat recovered from the fright. It shook its body and relaxed the hair that had exploded. Then, three or four meters away from Ye He, it dropped a piece of fish steak in its mouth to the ground. Then, It lowered its body and retreated back step by step.
Is this... for me?
Ye He didn't expect that a wild cat actually knew how to repay a favor. It actually realized that Ye He saved its life, so it followed Ye He with the fish steak and gave it to Ye He.
"Meow."
After retreating a few meters, the wild cat sat up and barked at Ye He in a low voice, seeming to urge Ye He not to be "ignorant".
Then it reluctantly glanced at the fish steaks on the ground, turned around and jumped into the alley to leave the street.
"Ah……"
As Ye He let out a chuckle, a "hand" suddenly grabbed the back of the wild cat's neck, lifted it up, and sent it towards Ye He.
"Meow! Hiss...meow!!"
The wild cat was frightened by the invisible "hand" formed by Camelot, and its hair exploded again. It struggled wildly, but to no avail.
"All right."
Ye He barked at it, and it seemed to realize that it was the human in front of it who grabbed it with invisible hands. It bravely waved its little paw towards Ye He, as if it wanted to teach this "repaying kindness with evil" a lesson. , human beings who “do not know good from evil”.
"Hehe, he's pretty good. You can follow me from now on!"
After saying that, Ye He no longer cared whether the wild cat understood what he meant. He took a step forward, stepped on a silver disc that appeared at his feet, and flew up with the wild cat beside him.
The screams of frightened wild cats rang out in the night sky, and a stream of smelly cat urine fell from the sky.
"Sir? This..."
Ye He was holding a mixed-haired wild cat in the air next to him. This was a look that Yulia had never seen before. She looked at the frightened wild cat with a critical look, holding its head and shivering.
Being brought back directly by Ye He, could this cat... be the incarnation of some old god?Or is it a very special monster?
"It's just a wild cat," Ye He explained to Yulia with a smile, so that the little maid didn't have to think too much.
“I thought it was quite smart, so I decided to keep it.
From today on, it's called... Bartley!Well, I’ll call you Bartley! "
Ye He pointed at the wild cat's nose with his finger and named it with a smile, which made both Yulia and the wild cat look at it for a moment.
"Yuliya, take it and clean it. Don't worry, it won't hurt anyone."
This is also the reason why Ye He has never taken action against Bartley. A few minutes ago, he was digging through the trash can.
"Uh... yes."
Yulia stepped forward and wanted to reach out to take Bartley, but Bartley immediately hissed at Yulia, and showed his little claws again, waving them fiercely, so that Yulia didn't dare to take action.
"Hey."
Ye He waved his hand, and Camelot's silver light appeared on Bartley's body, causing him to shut his mouth and put down his claws.
Bartley was horrified to find that he couldn't move. A force was constantly preventing it from attacking the woman in front of him. He could only let the woman grab it, take it to a small white room, and put herself into the water. !
Although I finally landed on all fours, this is water!This is the water it hates the most!
It hates even warm water!
But Bartley was still unable to move under the restrictions of Camelot, so he could only let Yulia give him a bath. The uncomfortable Bartley kept whining.
"Haha, we can't refuse what you have decided, so just accept your fate! Ouch... you are really dirty..."
Leaving Yulia in the bathroom to give Bartley a bath, Yehe turned and flew out of the balcony and went to Ekaterina's room on the upper floor.
As expected, Ekaterina took a bath in her swimming pool-like bathtub again, but the smart Katerina had anticipated in advance that Yehe might come to visit Ekaterina.
Wearing only a bath towel, she was half-kneeling on the edge of the bath, massaging Ekaterina's shoulders and neck.
As soon as she saw Ye He appearing at the door, she immediately stared at Ye He with a blushing face, as if she wanted to urge Ye He to quickly undress and take a bath.
“Let’s talk about the ghetto problem.”
Ye He only said this to the young and old princesses, then turned and left the bathroom.
This sentence also made Catalina "calm down" instantly.
She couldn't wait to let go of her hand, and urged Ekaterina, who still didn't understand what Ye He was talking about: "Auntie, get up quickly, hurry up."
"Huh? What are you talking about? What do you mean by ghetto problems?"
That is to say, Caterina can keep Yekaterina from being angry, but if they don't understand Katerina's explanation, Yekaterina, who is accustomed to doing her own thing, will not care about them.
"Ye He has a way to solve the problem in the slums, which is to let the poor live a normal life!"
Katerina explained to Ekaterina concisely.
Ekaterina was stunned for a moment, and her eyes immediately became serious.
She got up from the bathtub, without wiping or covering up, and just strode outside. But before stepping out of the bathroom, she waved towards the bathtub, and the water droplets stuck to her body automatically left her body. , splashed back into the bath.
Katerina didn't care to bring a bath towel to her aunt. She left the bathhouse closely behind Yekaterina and found Ye He in Yekaterina's study.
"If you have a way, please tell me. The Williamtes will agree to it no matter what the conditions are."
In these few steps, Yekaterina had already figured out that letting the poor live a normal life meant more than just restoring the dignity of the imperial capital to Sigwig, and more importantly, , she clearly understood that Ye He had a way to provide a large number of jobs for the empire!
Transform poor people without regular jobs into normal citizens with regular jobs, and transform vacant and wasted productivity into normal productivity.
This sentence seems very easy to say, as if it is as simple as introducing a job.
But...size!Volume!Volume!
There are too many poor people!
With such a size, even the empire is helpless. Does Ye He really have any good ideas?
"Well, my condition is very simple. Just give me [-]% of the shares in this business worth hundreds of billions of gold pounds."
Ye He sat leisurely on the chair, and his words made the young and old princess frown together.
"cause?"
Ekaterina didn’t understand what career Ye He was referring to.
"Several thousand...billion?"
Catalina was frightened by this number.
"Ha ha."
Ye He smiled. He stretched out his hand and gestured while explaining to the princess: "A city the same size as Cedarville, plus all the cities, towns, counties, and even cities throughout the Laurent Empire. It’s a rural road network. Isn’t it worth hundreds of billions?
I know you don’t understand what I’m talking about. It’s actually very simple. I wonder if you have heard of this term…”
Ye He, who leaned back on the chair and became more and more relaxed, uttered a new and shocking term to the expectant princess:
“…relief for work!”
"Relief for work?"
Catalina was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, work-for-relief."
Ye He nodded.
"You mean...no, please explain in detail!"
Ekaterina seemed to realize something, but she couldn't explain it clearly. She stared at Ye He closely, the curiosity in her eyes almost bursting out.
"Haha, work for relief, use the wages of work to replace relief for the poor."
Ye He had no choice but to stop talking and explained in detail.
He held out two fingers to Ekaterina and said to her: "Two meals. Two meals that can be eaten as much as you want, at the expense of the poor who eat these two meals, who have to work for us!"
The first step is to start here in Siegweig, starting from the road here, using the standards of the King's Road, paving the road outwards, and paving the road all the way!
The poor people have no fixed assets to begin with. Two meals are enough to allow them to move along with the progress of road paving. When they get to the right place and location, that's the second step!
Built the city!Build a new city!
While maintaining the work-for-relief program, we are tempted by the right to live in this new city and the meager salary!I can guarantee that it won’t take long for another Cedarville city to appear in the empire.
The implementation of work-for-relief does not need to be limited to Shigwig. It can be implemented in cities with slums throughout the empire!
If this continues, the roads will be connected sooner or later, and the road network throughout the Laurent Empire will be built sooner or later! "
"I understand! I understand!"
After understanding what Ye He meant, Catalina shivered several times in succession. She felt that the blood all over her body was already boiling!
"New town... road network..."
Ekaterina couldn't help but tremble. She realized what a terrible vitality a new city and a road network across the country would give to the entire Laurent Empire!
Once this plan is announced, businessmen throughout the empire will probably take their life savings and all their assets and send them to the Williamt family like crazy!Support the new city plan!
Moreover, in order to obtain the management rights of this new city, a new Cedarville-level city, the entire Shigwig nobles will be excited!
This is no longer a question of whether the plan can succeed. The precarious poor will not refuse to eat twice a day, absolutely not!The entire empire will be "activated" by this plan, glowing with vitality that Catherine never imagined.
It’s hard to fail this plan!
"Ye He! Ye He! Ye He!"
Catalina excitedly jumped into Ye He's arms and kept calling Ye He's name.
Her love for Ye He has reached its peak, and she can't wait to devote herself to Ye He immediately.
"you……"
Ekaterina wanted to reach out to indicate something, but she suddenly found that her fingers were trembling slightly.
She stood up from the chair and rushed into her bedroom.
While putting on her clothes, Ekaterina crushed a corner of a strange wooden figurine.
The special monster power erupted on the statuette. After a while, the voice of William Mut IV came out from the statuette:
"What's wrong."
"Come here at once! Come to the hotel! Immediately! That's right! Call your chancellor and all your confidants, immediately! Immediately!"
In the study room of the Williamite Palace, William IV, who was reviewing documents, looked at a statue of the same little man on the desk in astonishment.
He could swear that he had never heard his sister sound so excited in his life.
This feeling of uncontrollable surprise and excitement was successfully transformed into endless curiosity in the mind of William Mut IV.
How big and good must have happened to make Ekaterina so excited?
Do you want him to bring along the finance minister and his confidants?
"it is good."
After responding to the statue, William IV put down the pen in his hand.
The documents can be approved later, but he has to participate in the "great things" happening on his sister's side.
Is it because of Ye He?
After issuing the order to summon his confidants and the Chancellor of Finance, William IV was about to go out, but suddenly he thought of Ye He.
Could it be that this person favored by the outer gods finally decided to join the empire?
No, it's not like that. Even if Ye He was to officially marry Katerina, there was no reason for Yekaterina to be so surprised and excited.
With full curiosity, William IV got into the carriage.
Anyway, the First Hotel is right in front of the palace, not too far away.
About an hour later.
There are already several gray-haired old people in Ekaterina's study.
Catalina, who had changed into a royal attire, made tea for these old people with her own hands, then sat back next to Ye He and continued to look at Ye He with extremely adoring eyes.
Ekaterina was writing furiously behind her desk. She didn't know what she was writing, but her expression always seemed very excited, and the corners of her mouth were still raised and she kept smiling.
No one here touched the tea cup, even if it was the tea served by the princess.
Their thoughts had been completely aroused by Yekaterina's explanation just now, and everyone's eyes were shining brighter and brighter. In the end, this group of white-haired old people actually looked better than a group of teenagers. The young man is even more energetic!
"call……"
William IV breathed a long sigh of relief. He glanced at Ye He, and then looked at his finance minister.
This old man, who is the first finance minister of the empire, is also the contemporary head of the Favna family. He is one of the richest Gods of Wealth in the empire.
Feeling William IV's gaze, he also raised his eyes. The two old men looked at each other, and he suddenly chuckled at William IV:
"This is the first time in my life that I have encountered this kind of business that will never pay any compensation."
"Hahahaha!"
William IV burst out laughing.
Several other old people also raised their heads and looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
After all, a huge cake that had never been seen before actually landed in front of them!
After William IV finished laughing, he stood up with the help of crutches, and walked towards the door of the room with the old people who stood up together.
They need to go back to the palace and discuss carefully the "relief for work" plan, as well as the new city, road network and other plans that will be derived in the future!
This group of old men, who almost represent the top power of the entire Laurent Empire, have a kind of oath to look at the wolves in their actions, especially when they are about to complete an unprecedented great plan that can revitalize the entire empire. a while.
Before stepping out of the room, William IV suddenly stopped. He turned back and looked at Ye He.
He didn't say anything more, just turned around and left.
But he longed to live, and hoped that Ye He would completely solve the problems of the first generation of William Te, which he had already conveyed to Ye He.
If you have the opportunity to become a wise king and a great emperor who is famous throughout the continent, who would want to die?
Work-for-relief was first introduced in the Spring and Autumn Period, by Zheng Banqiao in the 18th century, and by Roosevelt in the 20th century. It is almost non-existent in Europe.
Don’t talk about the disadvantages. If someone doesn’t let me starve to death, I can even believe in him and worship him!
Please analyze the benefits of providing relief for work. (5 points)
