Law of the Devil

Chapter Two Chapter ["Routines"]

Although everyone knows that when the Duke’s adult is hiding in the Governor’s Office, it’s best not to disturb the adults. Because everyone knows that the Duke is a magician! When a magician is addicted to magic research, it is best not to bother him.

What's more, even the Ma De Guanjia, who is closest to Du Wei, feels faintly that the younger brother's recent mood seems to be getting worse.

Indeed, Du Wei is very annoyed!

The construction of the new city is very smooth, and the specific administrative work does not require him to worry about it. But he still feels bad every day.

Because he has been waiting for someone!

That green robe Gandorf, the old guy, said it was three months later and found himself! But now it has been more than half a year, but he has never had any news!

Seeing that the fall is over, it is about to enter the winter... Is the old guy with a green hat playing himself? !

Du Wei feels that her strength has reached a bottleneck. With his current magic level, he has reached the sixth level. The magic manipulative ability, in the Magic Academy, has absorbed so many magicians' lifelong research results, and with more than half a year of hard work, his strength has been quite good. Mastered a lot of spells.

If Du Wei is now re-evaluated, Du Wei is confident that he can get a badge of a six-level magician.

Now, if it is purely magical to fight each other, Gege Wu is no longer Duwei's opponent.

However, Du Wei found that this is all that she can do. After all, learning the research results of the magicians in the magical society is limited. Du Wei needs a mentor, a mentor who can keep him on the magic path. At least one old magician who has a complete study of magic theory.

The original Gege Witch should be able to temporarily play this role, but this mouse... He is good at metamorphosis. Deformation is not required for Du Wei. And Vivian... Poor Xiaowei Wei'an has eight levels of strength. But... she will stutter even if she is stuttering, not a qualified teacher.

In desperation, Du Wei put more time on magic research. The replacement of Mithril by Master Ai Keke made Du Wei's research over and over again for a long time, but he could not succeed. Instead, Scitech, the guy who was good at making wands, was very interested in Du Wei’s "flying broom" manufacturing method, the study of these days. He is almost going to succeed.

But after the test flight twice, poor Sett broke a leg.

Du Wei knows that the establishment of a new city is just the beginning. He needs to strengthen his own strength. In this place in the northwest, there is no strength to stand! Moreover, others will not look at the development of Du Wei's wind and water here, there will always be people to mess.

Du Weidi’s idea is not wrong. Because it is very fast. The troublemaker is here.

Although no one dares to disturb the Duke and the magician of Du Wei in the indulgence study, everyone knows that the Duke is not in a good mood recently.

But at noon that day, Mad had to walk into Du Wei's study and interrupted Du Wei, who was carefully reading through a pile of recipes from Ai Li.

"Young Master." Maddaba squinted, even though Du Wei was already the Duke's honor. However, unlike others who call Du Wei "adult", Mard has always called Du Wei "Young Master."

"Young master, someone wants to see you."

Du Wei frowned and looked up: "Is it a problem for immigrants to move out? Is it something strange for those guys?"

"...not." Mad moved his head: "The people from the Northwest Army are coming."

Du Wei stunned. Put down the things in your hand.

People in the Northwest Army?

It has been a few months since I came to the northwest. The Northwest Army has never taken the initiative to find myself. Du Wei will not take the initiative to deal with these warlords.

What's going on today?

In the reception room, Du Wei saw the coming of the Northwest Army.

The man is a middle-aged officer. From the point of view, he should be a general.

The imperial military system, stepping into the commanding level, can be regarded as a high-ranking military officer. The commanding officer is the leader of a regiment. Imperial military system, an infantry regiment is 4,000, and the cavalry regiment is 3,000.

In general, the four regiments can form a division, and the chief of the division is the general. For example, the Emperor Juncker of the Second Division of the Guardian of the Wang Family near the Imperial Capital.

The ranks of the generals of the empire are divided into four types, and like Junker, they are only first-class generals. Of course, the generals who served as the imperial guards like Junker, although they were only the lowest level of the generals. But the identity is already very high. For example, it is also a general at this level. Longbottom is also a cavalry commander of 20,000 people, but as a general in the northwest of the barren land. Although at the same level, the identity can never be compared with Juncker in the Imperial Capital.

Such a general, the official name of the Roland Empire is "the Major General."

This title is no stranger to Du Wei, especially after knowing that the founding emperor Aragon and his own are also people who pass through, it is even more strange. The empire was created by Aragon, and the military system was also left by him. It is normal to bring the rich colors of Du Wei’s past life.

The up-and-coming is the head of the army, and the head of the army generally has the title of " lieutenant general." There are also special cases, such as Du Wei's father, Count Raymond, who was originally a lieutenant. Although Raymond did not really command a military regiment, he once commanded an expedition fleet and was considered a lieutenant general.

Going up, it is the general. Admiral is generally not directly responsible for the administration of a certain army or legion. Basically, they are some experienced military veterans. After they are old, they will not stay in the front line of the army. Instead, they will go to the military headquarters of the Imperial Army, hang the rank of a general, and then become the amnesty of the commander. .

For example, Du Wei’s father, Count Raymond, commanded the expedition fleet to conquer Nanyang as a lieutenant. Then, as the merits rise like the military commanding department, it becomes the general.

The highest nature is the marshal. However, the marshal is generally only a "virtual title", but also a symbol of glory.

However, the current empire does not have a marshal. Because of this supreme honor, only those who have significant military power can be given. But there is no war in the current environment of the empire, and it is in peacetime. Naturally, there is no great military power.

The Northwest War of that year was only a partial war. As for the Nanyang expedition... With a huge fleet to bully a group of indigenous people, how much credit can this be?

It is a few real marshals in the history of the empire. For example, the creation of the ancestors of the Luolin family, such as the founding war in the Aragon era...

And now... Marshal, the military’s coveted position, is still vacant for the time being.

"The respected Duke of the Great." The general of the Northwest Army standing in front of Du Wei was very polite to introduce himself: "I am the Todoro, the 13th Division of the Northwest Army."

First impact. Du Wei had a bad impression on this guy who claimed to be Dodoro.

Because although he wore a military uniform and wore a sword, this guy did not have the military temperament. He looks like he is in his forties, and it is clear that he is wearing the largest uniform, but the fat of a body seems to break his clothes at any time.

The cross meat on the cheeks, plus the pale pale complexion of the wine, and the puffy body... It can be said that if he changes his clothes. More like a landlord.

Such a person can actually be a general?

However, after Du Wei heard his self-introduction, he immediately understood.

Because this so-called "the 13th Division of the Northwest Army" is not a regular army. Some things that Du Wei had in the Northwest Army, he knew this 13th Division. In fact, it is a logistics department, which is responsible for the allocation and distribution of military materials. To put it simply, the Dodoro in front of him is the logistics chief of the entire Northwest Army.

Du Wei immediately left the god. He has already vaguely guessed that this guy is coming.

"General Dodo, please sit down." Du Wei pointed at a chair in the room.

The next two were set for a while. This Duo Duo is obviously a veteran of the officialdom. The scenes in the officialdom are very familiar. He first complimented Du Wei’s "young promising" and then praised a few Duwei. "Youth genius", and finally expressed the wonder that Du Wei has built a new city so quickly, "the power of the magician, it is not ordinary people can guess!"

Du Wei laughed at his ass. After drinking two cups of tea, this Duo Duo finally said what he wanted.

"Duke of the Duke, I am coming today, in addition to bringing greetings from our army chief General Lu Gao, there are some small things that you need to help."

Du Wei smiled: "General Dodoro, please let me know."

"This..." The fat man sank a bit, then smiled: "Looking at the fall has passed, according to the decree. I want to ask. When can the Northwest Army come to extract military supplies for this quarter?"

Come to the money...

Du Wei sneered a little in his heart.

"Duke of the Duke, you should know. According to the Northwestern Decree, our supplies of the Northwest Army are directly allocated from the local fiscal revenue. According to the usual practice, after the quarterly fiscal revenue is reported, we must Accepting one of us from the local... Hehe, you also know that when the soldiers are not easy, our young men are empire, and they have to eat enough to guard the territory. You are also a family of Wu Xun, this is no need for me. Say more, you must understand."

Du Wei nodded quietly: "Oh, then, don't know how much is extracted according to the convention?"

In fact, Du Wei was very familiar with the law that had already been studied. He asked this question and deliberately.

"Four percent." Dodo Luo smiled and erected four fingers: "According to the traditional practice, our Northwest Army has to extract 40% of its fiscal revenue."

Du Wei listened to his eyebrows and picked: "Four into four? General Dodoro, you are joking. The temporary decree in the northwest, the local fiscal revenue is only 20%."

Dodoro smiled and almost all the fat on his face was squeezed into one piece: "Adult, you are coming to the northwest, maybe you don't know about it. If it is normal, it is naturally 20%. But the annual fiscal revenue, the Northwest Army. It’s all 40%, and it’s been a practice for many years.”

After a pause, this time I did not wait for Du Wei’s question, Duo Duo himself explained: “After the fall, it’s the end of the year. The practice in the army, in order to save the soldiers’ hard work for a year, will be at the end of the year, every time. People often send an extra 'case' as a reward for the hard work of the soldiers. Therefore, the annual financial and military expenses in the fall will be doubled."

In fact, these Du Wei also know, he listened but pretended not to know, and then thought for a while, with a look of generosity: "In this case, I naturally can not break the rules here. The young men in the army are empire, of course You can't treat them badly. Dodoro and the two armies, please wait a moment, I will ask my deputy to report the financial revenue in the fall."

Rely on, you send the year-end award, you want Laozi to save money? None of the doors!

Du Wei sneered in his heart, but immediately let people call Philip.

In the time when Philip came, Du Wei asked casually about the Northwest Army.

Originally, it was only a quarterly military expenditure, and there was not much money. If it was in the past, it would be enough for a multi-role to send a commander. However, it was not long before the new official of the Duke took office. For the first time, he came to get the money, but it is better to run it himself. After all, the identity of the other party is not normal.

Originally thought that this new lord would probably reject himself like the idiots who did not know the current affairs. However, Duo Duo saw that Du Wei promised so much, but he was rather relaxed.

Hey, after all, it’s just a teenager. What about the Duke? Here is the northwest! Even if the emperor came, he had to give the Northwest Army face!
