These big people are actually me

Mo Zuo replied with a smile.

I definitely never thought about commanding the army of the empire, I just hope to rely on them to prevent someone from wanting to 'trouble'.

And even if I could, I wouldn't dare.

The local officials dispatched troops privately, my God, if this is done, I need to have a few heads to chop off.

I am not the queen, her son or a man!

In this way, in the coincidence of the two people, the meeting ended happily.

During the period, Gao Wen, the lion, enthusiastically stayed with Mozuo for lunch.In the afternoon, he personally assigned a convoy to send Mo Zuo and others to Hejian Land.

-------------------------------------

The Riverland Territory under White Castle is a plain town built along the river.Because it is a canal dug by man.So this river that runs through the riverlands.It is not abundant all year round, but it is artificially determined whether to overwater according to factors such as the trend of cargo traffic, seasons, and military needs.

When the upstream does not open the gates, the river is basically a stream, and a little girl can jump around.And once the gate is opened, it will be a big river that can block the army's ground march.

Therefore, at both ends of the river, castles were built to strengthen the defensive attributes and prevent people from forcibly crossing the river during wartime.

Of course, these are all wartime issues. In peacetime, Riverland is a bustling town that can be seen everywhere in the northern border.

For Mo Zuo's arrival, the officials who were in charge of managing the place also rushed to the entrance early to welcome Mo Zuo's arrival.

After a while of welcoming ceremonies ended, Mo Zuo and his party walked into the city under the curious and hostile gaze of the residents.

While walking, the official who greeted Mo Zuo in front said:

"Master Viscount, we have two castles, one big and one small, in the Riverland Territory. The total number of residents inside and outside is 27. If you count the floating population, there are only about 30 to 40 in normal seasons."

"But if it's the peak season when the canal is opened, it will have to double, and sometimes it can even reach a million."

Mo Zuo also nodded while listening.The population of this number is very normal compared to the fantasy world with extraordinary power.

In fact, if it weren't for high-end power that was rarely used to improve people's livelihood, Mo Zuo even felt that the population of this world could easily far exceed that of his previous life.

But then Mo Zuo was in a bit of trouble. With so many citizens, once something big and irresistible happened.

How can I protect them? !

Volume 81: Chapter 80 [-] Riverland Territory

For ordinary lords, this may be unfounded worry. After all, even if the enemy country invades, they will not think about massacring the city.

But for Mozo, it is very necessary, knowing that the guys he provoked in the dream opera are not very good.

Many of those gangsters did it casually, so massacring the city is even more of a trivial matter.

Therefore, after Mo Zuo knew that he would be the lord of a quasi-earl-level territory, he had been thinking about how he would protect these innocent citizens once the irresistible enemy really approached him.

The most he thinks about is to let the enemy know that he has already run away, so that the other party may come to chase him, instead of playing massacre.But considering that group of people are bad to the bone, even if he is not here, he will probably massacre the city to vent his anger.

Therefore, Mo Zuo thought about the idea of ​​leading the people to run away again.

In this kind of thinking, this question gradually has a general idea, but it depends on fate.

And before that, he needs to get back the thing he hid near here back then.

After thinking about this.Mo Zuo asked the eloquent officials in front of him:

"Excuse me, do you have a detailed map of the surrounding areas of the Riverland?"

"Ah, of course! When you arrive at the Lord's Mansion, I will fetch it for you."

"There is one more thing, I hope you can understand."

Having said that, several officials looked at Mo Zuo with some concern.Mozuo asked curiously:

"whats the matter?"

Could it be that they are poorly managed and can lose money every year just guarding the canal?Then this is probably not a problem of ability but a problem of corruption!

"Because we didn't expect a lord to seal here before, and the riverland is a town that gradually rose after the Cromwell period, so there is no special lord's mansion here."

"So the accommodation we prepared for you may not meet your expectations."

When Mo Zuo heard it, it turned out to be this one.Immediately smiled and shook his head and said:

"That's not a problem! I was born as a poor child. Without the Lord's Mansion, there would be no Lord's Mansion. It just looks like it."

Seeing that Mo Zuo didn't seem to be saying polite words, several officials breathed a sigh of relief, and then became quite worried again.

The lord has the full power to dispose of his own territory, and the appointment of officials of all sizes in the natural territory is also decided by the lord alone.

Normally, these royal officials would leave after the handover, go back to White Castle or the Governor, and then wait for reassignment.

But in Her Majesty's appointment, they were directly asked to stay in place and continue to serve as Mo Zuo's vassals.

In this way, whether their jobs can be kept or not depends entirely on Mo Zuo's words.

But why did the lord retain outsiders instead of cronies?

How can this not make them worry?

Mo Zuo also saw their thoughts, but he didn't speak comfort or promise.

He doesn't need to care what his lord's mansion looks like, as long as he doesn't deliberately disgust people, but the appointment and dismissal of officials must be done cautiously and not out of personal feelings.

Otherwise, how would Mo Zuo explain to the leaders?

Hey, look, I'm your new lord, and the guys who exploited you will continue to exploit you, but the big head has changed from what they eat to what I eat!

Mo Zuo would not allow this kind of thing to happen in his territory.

It is true that through countless dream operas, Mozuo has long known that it is impossible for him to change the current mainstream system.But within his ability, he will definitely strive for the rights and interests of the people as much as possible.

Of course, if there are no major problems with these officials, Mozuo will definitely continue to let them be in charge of the operation of the territory.

He will not expel those who have outstanding ability and know the affairs of the territory in order to cultivate the so-called cronies.

That's stupid.

When he came to the lord's mansion prepared by the officials for Mo Zuo, Mo Zuo was stopped by Dani Weier.

Immediately, the other party entered first, and began to check whether the inside was safe.

Mo Zuo had nothing to do with it. He led everyone to stand quietly and wait for Vierdane to finish the inspection. At the same time, he also carefully observed the lord's mansion.

To Mozuo's surprise, this lord's mansion is actually very good. It's just that it may not be as luxurious and grand as the castles and palaces that nobles like, but from Mozuo's aesthetic point of view.

This is definitely an eye-catching exquisite villa!

And compared to the huge castle, Mozuo still prefers this delicate and elegant small villa.

After all, the king who lost his way in the huge kingdom of God is really too unbearable to look back...

Thinking of this, Mo Zuo smiled at the officials:

"Nice house! I like it very much."

Hearing the words, the other party was relieved again.Soon, Dani Violet also came out, and then nodded to Mo Zuo to indicate that there was no problem.

-------------------------------------

After entering, Mo Zuo asked the officials to bring the account books and administrative documents of recent years.And the detailed map that Mozo cares most about.

The officials immediately walked over with a large pile of documents.

Looking at the pile of documents far beyond his imagination, Mozuo's eyebrows twitched involuntarily, then coughed and pushed the largest batch of account books to Audrey:

"My dear Miss Accountant, I leave everything to you!"

Audrey blushed immediately after hearing the word dear, and immediately turned around and hid aside with the pile of account books.

Then Mozuo pushed the slightly smaller pile of administrative documents to Vierdani:

"Miss Vierdane, you are a knight and nobleman from the northern region. I think you should be more familiar with these things than me, a boy from a commoner family. I wonder if you can check it for me?"

Vierdani gave Mo Zuo a strange look, but she took the pile of administrative documents without refusing.

Mo Zuo, who finally managed to throw out two piles of 'hot potatoes', hurriedly rolled up the map and said to the officials:

"I want to see this city in person. You don't need to accompany me, just sit here."

After finishing speaking, he didn't give the other party a chance to speak, and just walked out with Miss Knight.

After going out, Miss Knight asked worriedly:

"Is this okay? Mozuo, don't you really need to ask yourself?"

Mo Zuo waved his hand indifferently and said:

"Audrey is a special accountant from Cromwell University. She is much better than me in checking the books for any problems."

"And Ms. Vierdane is a nobleman from the northern region, and she knows more about administrative issues than I do. Letting such two capable people go unused, she forced it for the so-called face or other unnecessary reasons. on top."

"That is irresponsible to myself and the citizens."

"And as a lord, I should pay more attention to the people's thoughts and lives!"

Volume 82: Chapter 81 [-] I am the Watcher!

Miss Knight couldn't accept these remarks, but she didn't know what was wrong, so she could only sigh after struggling for a while and said:

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Mo Zuo also looked at the map and after confirming the location, he smiled at Miss Knight:

"And if the other party really has a problem, then most of the problems can't be found by checking accounts or documents."

Miss Knight suddenly said:

"That's why you let them stay in the lord's mansion and came out by yourself?"

After Mo Zuo nodded, he led Miss Knight into an alley with less traffic, and then appeared among the crowd at the other end of the alley.

In front of the various commodity stalls in the street, Mo Zuo took Miss Knight to wander around aimlessly.

But Miss Knight found that as the two of them continued to move forward, Mo Zuo always led her into one crowd after another.Then quickly and accurately pass through the crowd without stopping.

At the same time, he also constantly prepared clothes or decorations that changed his appearance.

After passing through several streets and spending a few hours, Mo Zuo and Miss Knight, who completely changed their makeup and costumes, walked out of a small shop on the street.

Miss Knight glanced around, then said to Mo Zuo:

"Mozuo, are you trying to avoid possible 'eyeliners'?"

Mozo nodded with a smile.

Miss Knight said helplessly and amusedly:

"I wanted to say it before. If it's just this, it doesn't have to be like this. I am the Thundercaller Guard of Sequence Five. My inspiration is that I can easily sense whether someone is watching us."

"And if it's surveillance that I haven't even felt, then with your methods, I can say for sure that it can't be avoided either."

When Mo Zuo heard this, his eyes widened immediately.Then he bowed his head a little annoyed and lonely and said:

"So, I think I'm being smart."

Seeing this, Miss Knight hurriedly comforted her:

"No, that, me. I didn't mean that either, just, just."

While Miss Knight was in a hurry, Mozuo suddenly laughed, and then said in the other party's puzzled eyes:

"Just kidding, just kidding, I won't tease you anymore!"

After finishing speaking, Mo Zuo said to the shopkeeper:

"Boss, how much are two cold cracked fruits?"

The boss glanced at Miss Cavalier behind Mozuo, and then looked back at his wife who was busy in the store, lying in front of the window, and said with a nostalgic smile:

"I'll send you off for nothing!"

Mo Zuo immediately shook his head and said:

"What's so funny about that?"

The boss smiled and shook his head, and even personally picked two of the biggest and best Lenglie fruits and threw them to Mo Zuo.

"It's just two fruits, take it, take it! I picked this one, it's sure to be sweet!"
