Law of the Devil

Chapter 210 [acting]

Philip, the most optimistic disciple of Du Wei under the Blue Sea, has received great trust from Du Wei in these days. In Du Wei's view, Philip is young and calm, has real talents in his chest, and has a good understanding of the situation in the northwest. He is also extremely respectful to himself and never looks at himself with his own youth.

If it weren't for the fact that Philip was too light and had no qualifications, Du Wei had already appointed him as the governor of the province of Desa.

Even so, although Philip now does not have the title of Governor, Du Wei has actually handed him almost everything. Whether it is building a new city or financial money, it is almost Philip that is coordinating the overall situation.

After all, Philip was a disciple under the Blue Sea. After being summoned by Du Wei, he first asked the person who sent the message and knew that the Duke was talking to the Northwest Army.

The Northwest Army is coming?

Philip sneered, and the autumn was just over. The Northwest Army really sent people to ask for money. Fortunately, Du Wei and Philip had already had a countermeasure. This time he was not in a hurry and took what he had prepared. This came to Du Wei.

The place where Philip worked was in the Governor's Office. When it was time to come in, Du Wei was still chatting with General Dudoro. After Philip came in, he first gave a gift to Du Wei, and Du Wei introduced it.

Dodoro is also very polite to the young man who came in, without any contempt. After all, in recent months, after the young Duke came to the northwest, the Northwest Army also observed the Duke of the Emperor for a long time. He knew that the young man named Philip is now almost Du Wei’s right arm, the Governor’s Office. All the decrees are almost from the hands of this young man. Du Wei, the young prince, does not care about anything. Just making some decisions, the rest is handed over to Philip to do it. Although this guy is just the aides of Du Wei, he is actually half a governor.

"Philippe, General Dodolo is here today for the military expenses in the fall. Should the financial revenue of this quarter be reported?" Du Wei smiled very well.

"Yes, adults." Philip immediately opened a booklet and handed it over: "Adult. This is the autumn income of the province of Desa..."

Du Wei pretended to take a look and looked suspiciously on her face: "This, Philip, is the number wrong?"

Philip is serious: "Adult, the numbers above are correct."

Du Wei coughed and then slowly pushed the item on the table to General Dodolo: "General Dodoro, this is the fiscal revenue of the province of Desa in the fall... a total of 71,000 gold coins, of which The income of agriculture is 46,000 gold coins. Well, according to the convention you said, if the Northwest Army draws 40%, it should be..."

"It’s 18,400 gold coins.” Philip has already reported the numbers quickly.

Dodoro's face changed: "How much?!"

"18,400 gold coins." Philip repeated his face again.

Du Wei endured a smile, but sighed on the face: "Hey. This number seems to be a little less... The northwestern army's gates are the country's side, and work hard... so, let me add some more, just add an integer: 20,000 gold coins !"

He has a generous look here. Next to Dodoro, he almost got angry and his nose was smashed.

The guest seat on the face just disappeared without a trace, and Shen said: "Duke, I didn't get it wrong? You are sure that there is nothing wrong with this number?"

"Of course, that's right." Philippe replied first: "The Governor's Office has just checked the agricultural taxes collected from all over the country..."

Dodoro's face turned red, but there was still a sense of reason to suppress the fire, and did not look at Philip, but turned to look at Du Wei, Shen Sheng: "Duke of the Duke! Desa province is a bit barren. But a province With a population of nearly one million, the income of a quarter is only 70,000 gold coins. It is ridiculous to say it out!"

After a pause, Dodoro’s eyes showed a raging anger: “In the spring and summer of this year, there are more than 200,000 incomes per season, and autumn is the season of farmland harvest, according to previous years. At least there should be thirty More than 10,000 is right! It’s a province of the province. It’s a joke in the quarter. It’s a joke. It’s too big!”

"General Dodoro!" Philip suddenly sank, his voice cooled, his eyes slammed, and faintly said: "Please pay attention to your words! You are talking to an Imperial Duke!!"

Then Philip said coldly: "You must know that we are building Loulan New City recently. The cost of building a new city is huge. The cost of tens of thousands of craftsmen and daily expenses is a huge and heavy burden! In addition, in order to launch The people in the territory moved to the new city. The Duke adults issued a tax exemption order at the beginning of the construction of the city! Anyone who is willing to move their family to the new city at the level of registration can be exempted from tax for one year. The original fiscal revenue of the Desa province is not much. With so many huge expenses and tax cuts, the income in this quarter is naturally less, and what is strange."

Duo Duo originally came to test Du Wei's attitude today. After the little duke came to the northwest, he had not dealt with the Northwest Army. He thought that the other side would cooperate with each other. Now he is playing with his own teeth. effort.

Thinking of this, Duo Duo couldn't help but anger. He was a general of the Northwest Army generals, holding the material of the Legion. In the northwest, who would not give him a few faces, even the old fox of Bohan was gracious to him. I did not expect this little child to dare to play with himself.

Duke? What about the Duke? What are the Northwest Army afraid of!

"Duke of the Duke!" Dodoro Horan stood up and said faintly: "I don't think your subordinate may have figured out the Northwestern Decree! I certainly know that you are building a new city, but according to the Imperial Order, the Northwest Army has The right to intercept part of the income from the agricultural taxation is military expenditure! The military expenditure has priority; and before the Northwest Army’s military expenditure is withdrawn, the local government must not use the agricultural tax first! Now, the aides of yours tell me: our Northwest Army also If he didn’t receive military expenses, he has already spent all his money on building a new city. Is this what it means!”

Du Wei looked at this angry fat man. Slowly said: "General Dorothy, please sit down, your anger does not have any effective compensation for the status quo, let us discuss the problem to solve this problem, you see?"

Dodoro slammed hard.

Du Wei smiled and looked at Philip, and said awkwardly: "Philipp, although the account is correct, but the military expenses of the Northwest Army officers can not be owed! This quarter's income, after all, is only a few on paper. The number is only. You only have to report the amount of money before deducting these expenses in this quarter, and report it to me."

Philippe pretended to be reluctant: "Adults... If you follow the normal calculations, the original income is about 250,000 gold coins... less than in previous years. After all, you are exempt from the taxation of many civilians who are willing to move. ""

Dodoro is only slightly angry, the total number of 250,000 gold coins, this is almost the same! Although a little less. However, it is within acceptable limits. In the case of 250,000, 40% of the coins also have 100,000 gold coins.

"That's not easy." Du Wei immediately made a bold look: "According to the income of 250,000 yuan, 40% should be 100,000... then you will pay 100,000 gold coins from the warehouse. All right."

Philip sighed, as if he was embarrassed, whispered: "But. Duke, we don't have that much money in the warehouse now."

"what!!!"

A big bang, with unlimited anger and doubt!

The problem is that this kind of roar is issued. Not Duo Duo... In fact, he was about to get angry, but the Duchess Duwei first roared.

The little duke took the case and his face was angry with no disguise. He glared at Philip: "What do you say!!"

He suddenly fell the tea cup in front of the ground and angered: "Mr. Phillips! Please explain! I am a province! Even if the province of Desa is barren, but the capital of the capital of the capital, there is always Savings and stockpiles over the years!! Is it a province we are in, and now we have no financial resources for 100,000?!"

Du Wei’s this time was a first-come. The big trick was to scare Duo Duo.

"Give me an explanation!" Du Wei's anger like to swallow, shouted: "Philip! This is my territory! Is this my province of Desa? Or you use your power to corrupt the storeroom Stocking!! If you can't explain it, I will arrest you immediately for greed!"

Philip immediately grievances, and repeatedly argued: "Adult, I have never greedy a gold coin!!"

Then this Philip seems to be resentful: "Adult, you never have to pay for finances when you go to the northwest. Naturally, you don't understand. You have to build a new city. I am discouraged. You just refuse to listen to me... Oh, I also I can only do my best to keep everything running for you. But I also have difficulties!"

Having said that, he seems to be determined: "Do you remember that when I first arrived, did I hand over a report on the storage of the warehouse?"

Du Wei seemed to be awkward, and then impatiently said: "I don't have any interest in those things. It's good to have you deal with me."

Philip smiled: "Adult, you are a magician. You are naturally not interested in these mundane things, but in the report I gave you, I have explained everything, but that report, you have not noticed it. ......"

Du Wei seems to think of something, frowning: "What happened to that report?"

"Adults..." Philip sighed: "When we took over the province of Desa a few months ago, the entire province's warehouses were kept, only 190,000 gold coins! A province, the fiscal revenue over the years. For many years, there are only a total of 190,000!"

"This is impossible!!"

Still, Dudoro didn't have time to open it again. Du Wei once again jumped up before him, blushing and waiting for Philip: "A province is a province, and the reserves of the past years are only more than 100,000 gold coins??!! ”

"But this is the truth, adults. There is a detailed list of statistics in my report." Philippe said bitterly: "You put all your energy into the study of great sacred magic, so Ignore these things, I Although you have been reminded again and again, you have not noticed..."

then. Philip seems to be careful, and he wants to stop and say, "This figure, of course, makes people feel unbelievable. Who would believe that there is only a small amount of storage in a warehouse in a provincial province. But..."

"But what."

Coughing, Philip just bit his teeth: "However, before you took office in the northwest, the administration of the province of Desa was always the governor of Bohan..."

This sentence is already very obvious!

Dodo Luo listened. I can't help but accept this statement.

It seems that before the surrender of the site, Bohan searched the land of Desa province and left the entire family empty. This explanation is very reasonable.

Du Wei and Philip both squinted at each other, Du Wei was angry, and Philip was grievous. After a long time, Du Wei gritted his teeth and said: "A good governor of Bohan! Actually gave me such a hand! Oh! No wonder when I took the road through Mulan City, this old guy is so strange to me, it turns out that he is not sound. Leave me an empty shell without ringing!"

Then he looked at Philip with dissatisfaction: "Why don't you say these things early!"

Philip immediately spread his hands: "Your energy is on the study of great sacred magic. I said a few times, but you didn't listen to it."

After a long time, Du Wei sighed, and then looked at Dodoro with the most sincere eyes, with a full apologetic tone: "General Dodo Luo. Let you see a joke... I did not expect to be under my eyelids. This kind of thing happened."

Dodoro only felt a stomach in his throat, but at the moment he did not know how to say it. Seeing Du Wei and Philippe performing, he was somewhat confused at the moment, and he did not know whether the two were really or playful.

but. Magicians don't like to manage vulgar things, and they are only immersed in their own magic research. This is quite unusual and seems reasonable. Moreover, most of these juvenile aristocrats do not learn anything, and what kind of finance will they manage?

It seems that it seems... I really can’t blame the duke in front of me. It’s all the guys in Bohan...

"General Dodoro, please rest assured." Du Wei immediately became obliged to look like: "I will immediately send someone to talk to the guy in Bohan! In any case, he will spit out the money that swallowed me! At the time, I will pay you a lot of military expenses in the Northwest Army!"

Dodoro only felt a glimpse of his heart... spit it out?

He has been in the northwest for many years, and he does not know how many times he has dealt with the Governor of Bohan. He knows that Bohn is very powerful. When the money goes to the hands of Bran, can you let Bakhan come out with your little child?

When you have to pay back the money and pay the military expenses, it is not far away...

Dodoro immediately said: "But the Duke, the military can not delay..."

Du Wei did not wait for Dorothy to finish. I interrupted him: "General. You also saw that we were played by the old guy of Bohan. My money was swallowed up by him. Although I am willing to help you, my men have told me. Now, the province of Desa is really unable to pay the military."

"But your new city..." Dodo Luo did not believe it. After all, can he have the financial resources to build a new city, and can't afford to pay 100,000 gold coins?

"I know what you want to say." Du Wei said faintly: "I don't hide it. The construction of the new city, most of the expenses are my personal commitment. At that time, my man dissuaded me, but I really don't want to I continued to stay in the broken city of Giliar, so I took out my private property to support the construction of the new city. But the financial department of the province of Desa does have no money, which is also true."

What can Dodoro say?

He was embarrassed to ask for the words that asked Du Wei to pay for military expenses.

In this case, it is unreasonable to be public and private.

In private... Are these powerful big men, who take power, who is not a big fishing? I only heard that I was lucky to pay for it. I didn’t hear that I was paying for it to make up for the public! He is also a general, and the official dignitaries are so simple. It is natural to understand this simple truth. In this case, he is also embarrassed to say it.

Yu Gong... Private money to pay for military expenses? What do you want to do? It is light to say that you are pulling the military! Togge on it, that is the heart of speculation, there is a rebellious heart!

"It seems that I am powerless for the time being." Du Wei said sincerely: "Please substitute me to the general of the Northwest Army, General Lu Gao, to express my deep apologies. But I will try my best to make up for this. I will send it. People went to Mulan City in the province of Nurin to see the Governor of Bohan. In any case, I have to recover the money, and the Northwest Army is fair!"

Looking at the face of this young boy in front of him, Duo Luo is really difficult to judge whether he is a few minutes of true. As for the Governor of Bohan, whether or not he swallowed the storage of the warehouse in the province of Desa before leaving, this matter can be clearly found on the Dorothy. The Northwest Army has been operating in the Northwest for many years, and the news clues are still there. It is not afraid that Du Wei will falsify at this point.

Thinking of this, Dodoro has stood up and looked a lot colder: "In this case, the Duke, I will leave, I will go back to report to General Luga today... As for the back, it is not me. Can decide."

Du Wei had no shelf and personally got up and sent him out. Even before leaving, Du Wei seemed to deliberately say a few words to Dodoro: "The general, Lord Bohan, this practice really annoys me, but... After all, I came to the northwest. He is a veteran of the northwest. He has been in business for many years. I think this thing may not be so easy to yield. So... this thing, if you want to recover this money, I am afraid it is not enough. If necessary, I also hope that the Northwest Army can also put some pressure on him. After all... there are also your army there, isn't it?"

Dodoro indulged a bit, did not dare to promise, but said that after returning to report to their army chief.

In this way, Du Wei is a temporary fool of the coming of the Northwest Army.

After sending away the logistical supplies of the Northwest Army, Du Wei and Philip closed the door. Both of them laughed for a while, then Philip then frowned. "Adult, so although he was sent away for a while, but they must go back after they I can always get back the taste. By the time..."

"How about when it is time." Du Wei snorted: "Bohnham has searched my warehouse for a short time. This is a fact. The Northwest Army will only understand if we check it. At least we don't lie in this matter. They also take it. We can't help. Our current public financial situation is really tense and there is no money. This is also true. Even if the general of the Northwest Army, General Lu Gao, came, I am embarrassed to let me pay for it myself. There is always an officialdom in the officialdom. Rules. The most ideal situation is that the Northwest Army passed the hate to the old guy of Bohan... Hey! I swallowed me so much money, don’t give him some trouble, how can I feel comfortable in my heart!”

However, Du Wei himself smiled and glanced at Philip: "I am just a swearword. The Northwest Army has always been against Bohan, and I am not so bad."

Philippe frowned. "Just, this quarter is better than saying that in the next quarter, they will come to ask for money again. This excuse for Beaune is not good."

Du Wei’s heart was also helpless, and smiled bitterly: “Go one step at a time, it’s a moment to drag.

The horrible "temporary order" is really troublesome, but Du Wei knows that now don't expect the Imperial Central to have the power to abolish this regulation! Because of the existence of the Northwest Army, the Imperial Central Committee must also be jealous. The regent king came to power, and now the main energy is to stabilize the situation. It is impossible to rush to break with the Northwest Army. Counting on the center of the empire, it is better to expect yourself.

Philip thought for a while, suddenly said: "Actually... adults, I have a note! From now on, the Northwest Army does not want to take away even a gold coin from us!"
