Chapter 474 Surrender and Negotiation

Hearing Ren Nian's words, Zhou Mo kept shaking his head and smiling, as if he didn't care too much.

However, Lin Dai'er, who was pulling her sleeve with one hand, revealing a white wrist, and pressing the paper for Zhou Mo, couldn't help taking a breath of cool air.

Ren Nian didn't know, but Lin Dai'er knew that Zhou Mo regarded Ren Nian and Ren Nian's government officials as a fortress against the new system, but now, the new system has not yet been established, and the fortress is already full of germs of the new system , This is a devastating blow to Zhou Mo's plan.

Lin Daier is a smart person, not a smart person, and she was unwilling to stand out from so many noble family women who were destroyed by the Holy Cross Territory. She was selected by Julie and given to Zhou Mo. wish fulfilled.

These, it can also be said that Lin Daier is born beautiful, with the potential of peerless enchantment, everything conforms to Zhou Mo's aesthetics.

But after entering Zhou Mo's castle and becoming Zhou Mo's family member, he was able to get rid of Julie's shadow in a very short time, gained Zhou Mo's trust, and was qualified to serve in the study, which was not only due to his innate beauty .

Lin Daier is extremely smart, she grasped all the right opportunities accurately, made the right choices, and is extremely good at learning and willing to work hard.

Therefore, although she is not yet qualified to handle some matters for Zhou Mo, the information she heard and saw in the study has opened the young woman's horizons and initially understood what politics is.

When Lin Daier was worried about Zhou Mo's next plan, she heard Zhou Mo say this:
"Old Ren, you and the people under your command are all civilians. It is reasonable for you to come with them and seek wealth. However, you, the future minister of state affairs, must have a ruler in your heart. , set a good example for the people below."

These words seem to have said nothing, and Zhou Mo's pen has never stopped, but to Lin Dai'er, it seems that Zhou Mo has said everything, even Lin Dai'er's extremely delicate intuition, which belongs to a woman, has never stopped. In Zhou Mo's words, he could hear a trace of murderous intent.

Lin Dai'er could tell that something was wrong. How could anyone at any age not be able to hear it? At that moment, the cold sweat on her back soaked through her underwear.

But it didn't show at all on the surface, walked over, glanced at Zhou Mo's pen, the design drawing of the source energy texture that is full of mathematics and industrial beauty, and praised:
"My lord's heart has become more and more quiet. Ren Nian's state of mind is far behind."

Then secretly glanced at Lin Daier's two white jade fingers pressed on the drawing, glanced at the pink and white nails that were pressed because of Lin Daier's nervousness, his heart twitched for a moment, and said:
"Your Excellency can give those of us who are of commoner origin and no noble blood a chance to stand out, and a platform to display what we have learned and take revenge in our hearts. We are already grateful, but this person's greed is always endless. Everyone With power and status, I naturally want to live a good life, but I didn't take care of it, and I was a little greedy."

In Ren Nian's words, the first few sentences spoke from the heart, but the latter few sentences were subdued quietly. Lin Dai'er tasted it carefully, and she tasted a bit of distress from it.

At the moment, Lin Dai'er couldn't help raising her beautiful eyes, and glanced at Ren Nian in a blink of an eye. This Aryan man, who is always gentle and gentle, is really smart and speaks impeccably.

But based on Lin Dai'er's understanding of Zhou Mo, Zhou Mo would not like Ren Nian's words like this, and in dealing with them, he would not be as good as Fatty telling the truth, saying what he had to say.

But Zhou Mo remained calm, the lines under his pen were still straight without the slightest tremor, and he painted lines of extremely precise origin energy.

"Old Ren, you grew up in the kingdom of the sea. You should have seen more nobles than me since you were young. You said that in a noble family, the family bloodlines that survive at the same time are at most no more than a few hundred. With these people, can you manage such a large territory and so many civilians?"

Ren Nian frowned, and glanced at Zhou Mo, and saw that Zhou Mo was just lowering his head and painting the lines of origin energy, but he looked up directly at Lin Dai'er, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

Sensing Ren Nian's anxious gaze like a flame, Lin Dai'er's heart shuddered. She still hadn't figured out why Ren Nian looked at her like that.

However, at this moment, the woman's instinct only let her know that this is an excellent opportunity, one in the territory of the Holy Cross, in Zhou Mo's castle, to lay a foundation, and to go to Heqianshu, Chen Yang, Mina, Julie and other female-level opportunities.

The thin eyelids with light pink makeup lifted up, Lin Dai'er raised her eyes, and looked at Ren Nian, and at the same time pressed her finger on Zhou Moyuanneng's drawing, but she was able to follow Zhou Mo's pen exactly, without a single mistake .

This beautiful girl who newly appeared beside the adults, with her beautiful demeanor when she raised her eyes, Ren Nian, who was so anxious at this time, couldn't help being slightly shocked. For the Asian race, Lin Daier, a 15-year-old Because of the slight difference in aesthetics, the young girl is a little more seductive than Ruiwen-Nalong in terms of her style.

Fortunately, Ren Nian was determined, but at this moment he was burning with worry, and after a short moment of absent-mindedness, he returned to normal.

Lin Daier's raised eyes gave Ren Nian a great surprise. At the same time, Ren Nian also realized that this woman has ambitions and is not an easy role. After hooking up with her, the price to be repaid in the future will be extremely high. But at this time, in order to overcome this hurdle, Ren Nian couldn't care less.

After giving Lin Dai'er a wink to make a deal, Ren Nian said:
"My lord, those nobles have received elite education since they were young, and they have been involved in the art of imperial servants and a lot of knowledge, but if they rely on the nobles themselves to govern the territory, it is simply a joke. They rely on their retainers. A large number of retainers."

Zhou Mo nodded, raised his head for the first time, looked at Ren Nian, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said:

"So it turns out that these retainers are all talents who can be used by me!"

Ren Nian couldn't answer the conversation at this time. Zhou Mo's words had already been made clear to a certain extent, and he was warning Ren Nian that you are not indispensable. As long as I spend a little effort, I can find a large number of people. Replace your people!

But I have to answer these words. If I don't answer, I will be silent. To be silent about the emperor, especially in this environment, and above this matter, silence is confrontation.

And what will be the end of Ren Nian's confrontation with Zhou Mo at this time?

Ren Nian knew well that the Lord of the Holy Cross Territory, the monarch he was loyal to, was very happy to decentralize power and share it with them, but he could not tolerate the slightest violation of the route. Your lord raised the butcher knife and killed him like a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood!
But if he accepted the words, he could only follow along. As a result, all government officials headed by him during his term of office lost the huge dividends they had personally promoted the construction.

Others may not know Zhou Mo's plan, but for the tenure of the chief administrative officer of the Holy Cross Territory, almost all the preparations for social transformation were made by him and his subordinates. Although Zhou Mo didn't tell them clearly, Ren Nian guessed it. Guessed it.

Just because he guessed it, Ren Nian knew how much wealth and interests were hidden in this almost earth-changing social system transformation. If he gave up these wealth and interests in one sentence, then his leadership position in government affairs would be It will collapse in an instant, and those political officials under him who are usually useful will turn against him in an instant.

Therefore, Ren Nian couldn't answer these words, nor could he answer them.

This is why Ren Nian asked Lin Dai'er for help, and when he used her, he gave Lin Dai'er a wink that it was time for you to speak.

After all, Lin Daier is immature, and her thinking speed cannot reach the level of Zhou Mo and Ren Nian. The wisdom she was proud of in the past is useless at this time. Lin Daier can only rely on her own intuition and understanding of Zhou Mo. I understand.

"Master, retainer? Isn't Master Ren Nian your retainer?"

Lin Dai'er said this sentence, her innocent voice was full of genuine doubts, almost made Ren Nian jump up happily, this sentence is simply a stroke of magic!
Ren Nian immediately continued:

"Miss Lin is right. Ren Nian and the political officials under him are the retainers of the Holy Cross family, but Mr. Meng has not given up. Many things have been delegated to us, so that we, the retainers, have a higher status than the retainers in other aristocratic territories. It’s nothing more than a lot higher, but in the end, we are still your lord’s retainers!”

These words are pleasing to the ear, expressing the loyalty of Ren Nian and his subordinates, and also vaguely reminding Zhou Mo that the wealth they possess is, in the final analysis, Zhou Mo's own wealth. Nevermind.

Putting it on any noble lord, Ren Nian and Lin Dai'er's cooperation is considered a pass.

However, no matter who Zhou Mo is, the experience of the two worlds and the history books of his hometown for thousands of years are just a drama between the emperor and his courtiers!

Hearing Ren Nian's words, Zhou Mo stopped writing for the first time, and then looked up at Ren Nian with an unprecedentedly serious expression on his face, and the murderous intent in his black eyes was already undisguised.

The accidental leakage of life-killing in the source energy state is simply a disaster for the lower-ranking citizens.

Ren Nian fell to his knees with a thud, his forehead firmly pressed against the carpet, Ren Nian's whole body trembled, and he couldn't even function his thoughts.

As for Lin Daier, because the source energy in her body is of the same origin as Zhou Mo, she is much less affected, but her life level is too low, because the days with Zhou Mo are still short, and at this time, she is nourished by Zhou Mo's life essence. , which was no more than the quasi-black iron life level, and at this moment, he fell limply to the ground.

Fortunately, Zhou Mo still has a bit of compassion for Lin Daier, and deliberately avoided Lin Daier with his murderous intent. It was only the aftermath that endangered her, otherwise Lin Daier would have fainted at this time.

"Ren Nian, don't take the face this Lord gave you for granted!"

After Zhou Mo scolded, his killing intent subsided, and Ren Nian's thinking resumed to function at the same time, but he couldn't figure out where he made a mistake, but he knew that if he didn't make a clear statement today, he might not be able to pass this hurdle !
Gritting his teeth, with a pale face, Ren Nian raised his head, looked up at Zhou Mo, and said:
"My lord, Ren Nian understands what you mean. Ren Nian is not a greedy person. Anyone who has a relationship with Ren Nian can return the Holy Cross invitation immediately. But those people under Ren Nian, in this matter Come on, I'm afraid you won't let Nian me do it!"

"If I press it down, I'm afraid that I, the chief of government affairs, won't be able to command any government officials! Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents!"

In this world of energy, I heard a phrase similar to that of my hometown, which made Zhou Mo feel a little confused for a while, and at the same time sighed in his heart, the charm of money, as long as there is society and civilization, it is too difficult for people to resist .

When Ren Nian told the truth, half of Zhou Mo's anger disappeared. As long as Ren Nian is still reliable, the Holy Cross Territory will not be in chaos. Although Zhou Mo's plan will have some twists and turns, it has not reached an unmanageable situation .

"Get up!" Zhou Mo sat down and said something.

Ren Nian stood up from the ground, but it was the first time for Lin Dai'er to experience such a thing. Her whole body was limp, but she couldn't get up no matter what.

Zhou Mo rang the bell, and after a while, a relatively unfamiliar maid quickly came to the study, stood at the door, bowed her head and waited for orders.

"Help your sister Lin up, take her to rest, and take good care of her!"

The maid responded in a low voice, and helped Lin Dai'er out.

The door of the study was closed again, and Zhou Mo picked up his bright yellow jade ruler, ordered a seat in front of the table, and signaled Ren Nian to sit down.

"Ren Nian, I have never asked about the political officials under your command. From the employment to the position arrangement, you are in charge of everything. Tell yourself, how does the Lord treat you?"

Ren Nian sat down respectfully, heard the words and replied:

"My lord's kindness to Ren Nian is as high as heaven and earth, and the trust in Ren Nian is unprecedented in ancient and modern times."

Ren Nian said this sincerely, because the power Zhou Mo gave him has exceeded the limit of a monarch's trust in his subjects.

Zhou Mo nodded, and then asked again:

"How will you repay me? The people you use have become the biggest obstacle for the Lord to implement the new system today!"

Ren Nian bowed his head in shame, no matter what the reason was, it was indeed someone he used that had a problem.

Zhou Mo waved the jade ruler in his hand, then pointed at Ren Nian with the jade ruler, and said:
"You also have a jade ruler cast by the Lord himself. You should understand why I gave you that ruler!"

Ren Nian nodded, his crimson jade ruler represented that Zhou Mo had entrusted him with full authority over government affairs, personnel and finance.

"Since you know, then you must make good use of him. This lord has never interfered with you when you employed someone. Now that the person you use has a problem, I don't care how to deal with it. You go and take that jade ruler , I'll take care of everything for this lord!"

Ren Nian's straight spine bent down, this may be the best ending, it's much better for him to do it than to let Fatty and De Geste do it!
"Yes, my lord, please order!"

Seeing that Ren Nian agreed, the last bit of anger in Zhou Mo's chest disappeared.

"There are still two days left. Within two days, all the administrative officials related to the Holy Cross invitation will be cleaned up. Those who are willing to return it will be returned, and those who are not willing to return it will be gone!"

"You can tell those under your command that the Weeds will stare at all of them, and the people of Dergost will stare at all of them!"

"No matter who it is, no privilege, no matter who is involved, if you can't deal with it, use your jade ruler to deal with it!"

When Ren Nian came out of the city lord's mansion, the setting sun was like blood outside. Ren Nian didn't go back to his government affairs department immediately, but went to Xiongying New City. He needed to strengthen his own security issues!
