honor me as god

Chapter 750
The sound of the analyzer’s operation reverberated in an independent space. The blood belonging to the gluttonous Fitch and the tube of unknown blood taken from the ancient temple began to be compared under the control of No. [-] to explore them. All the secrets that may exist in between.

The analyzer worked for half an hour before stopping. Kino stared at the screen, and finally, the symbol representing confirmation was reflected in his pupils.

Number zero: "After comparison, there are homologous factors in the blood in the third test tube and the fourth test tube, and the phases are exactly the same."

Kino's pupils dilated violently. If you listen carefully, you will find that even the sound of breathing has become heavier than usual. The corners of his lips raised a dangerous arc, and he murmured: "Interesting. secret."

Fitch squatted on the ground and yawned, and asked lazily, "What is the Scarlet Church? Is it delicious?"

Chino: "I'll give you a taste when the time comes."

"Okay~hehehe." In the independent space, Fitch's clear and slightly weird laughter kept echoing.

Time passed quickly, several months had passed since the invasion of the remnants of the six kings.

In the past few months, Dogorand expelled the remnants of the Six Kings who had entered the country again, dispatched an engineering team to rebuild the breached frozen fortress, and deployed another elite frontier defense army there.

Regarding the war between Dogorand and the Far Eastern Dynasty, after follow-up meetings, the high-level officials finally reached a consensus on a truce.

The emperor's grandson Ye Lingchen died in the territory of Doguland, which was a great shame to the imperial court.However, in the Battle of the Desert, the Far Eastern Dynasty used the opportunity of negotiation to launch an attack on Perseus, intending to capture the king. This was done extremely unkindly. In addition, Denisa’s deterrence was still there. draw.

In this way, the dust of an ever-changing conflict has settled, but the wheel of history is still rolling forward.

At the end of the year, the "return to snow" season, and it's the time of Chinese New Year.

The Dogoland Kingdom has a tradition of handing out "year gifts" to officials every year. According to the modern popular concept, the so-called "year gifts" are actually "New Year gift packages". The royal family distributes high-quality grain, meat, silk and satin clothes, etc. , so that the officials who have worked hard for a year can spend a good year at home.

The ranks of officials are different, so the annual rewards they enjoy are naturally different. According to the usual tradition, when the annual rewards are distributed, in addition to some New Year gifts, the officials can also receive some monthly coins from the treasury. This is regarded as a reward from the king. The "red envelope".

High-level officials such as provincial governors and royal ministers can get dozens of gold moons when they issue annual gifts, and some can even get hundreds of gold moons, which is a very huge wealth.

In previous years, the annual gifts were handed out year by year in accordance with the tradition, but this year's annual gifts are a little different.

Year gift warehouse, a group of ministers working in the royal palace are receiving year gifts here. Usually, the atmosphere is always prosperous at this time of year. Everyone wished each other blessings, and then went back to celebrate the new year with their families.

However, at this time, the atmosphere in the warehouse was very depressing.

Since the big ink corruption case in Danyu City in the middle of the year, Ma Ban has been promoted from a small Danyu City food officer to the palace because of his meritorious assistance in solving the case. Later, Perseus arranged for him to be the "right hand of the king" Lan Xian as an assistant.

For magistrates, being transferred to the royal palace is a blessing from the gods. As long as there are no mistakes in work and good contacts, further progress is just around the corner.

However, after Maban came to the palace, his official career was not smooth. The main reason is that this person has a weird temper, and he has to be serious in everything, without compromise. Some things are obviously for everyone to take a step back, and he insists on competing. , so that everyone in the palace, including Lan Xian himself, didn't like him.

No, before the Chinese New Year, many officials had their holidays early, but Ma Ban was arranged to come over to give out the New Year's gifts, so they didn't have to rest when the Chinese New Year was approaching.

And even for such a simple task as the gift of the year, Ma Ban has to "make life difficult" with other people.

At this time, a minister named "Dylan" looked at the annual gift in front of him, frowned tightly, and asked Ma Ban dissatisfiedly: "What did you send?"

Only 30 catties of wheat, about 10 catties of pork, some vegetables, fruits, oil, salt and other condiments in Dylan's year gift bag, and several batches of cotton cloth, nothing else.

Ma Ban said blankly, "This is a year's gift, what's the problem?"

Dylan scolded, "Maban, do you understand the rules? You sent out these things in Nianci, do you mean to be against everyone?!"

Ma Ban took out a law code related to the official system from her arms, and patted it on the table: "There is a clear record in the Dogolland Code, and the annual rewards of officials at all levels are divided into three levels, one level at the town level, and one level at the main city level. , provincial level and above."

"What you have in front of you is the annual gift from the province. If you think there is a problem, you can look up the code yourself to see if it says so. If not, I will apologize to you."

Dylan was so choked that he couldn't speak, another minister came up to help and said, "Ma Ban, it's true that the code is written in this way, but this is the standard hundreds of years ago, and it is no longer reference. .”

"And you can also look at the detailed rules. Those three grades are just the minimum standard, and it doesn't have to be issued like this. In previous years, everyone received a very generous annual gift, no matter the town, the main city, or the province, even the poorest There is no mention of giving yearly gifts to officials according to the minimum standard.”

"What's more, this is a royal palace, and there are plenty of supplies. If you insist on distributing according to the minimum standard, isn't this intentional to make things difficult for everyone?"

Ma Ban asked coldly: "Oh, then how do you want me to send it?"

Seeing that Ma Ban's tone had loosened, Dylan's face softened a little, and he said slowly, "You are new here, and I don't ask you to do any tricks, just be the same as last year—"

"The wheat is taken away and given to the palace chefs, who are asked to make all kinds of ready-made bread, cakes, and snacks. They will be made on the same day and sent to our house on the same day. 20 catties per day, and no overnight."

"We need to increase the amount of meat. Do you want us to take 10 catties back and stuff them between our teeth? And it's still fatty pork, how can we eat it? Replace it with high-grade meat, such as beef. Remember it must be beef tenderloin, not other parts , one hundred catties per person."

"Chicken, duck, and fish have the same amount of meat. Pay attention to the source of the meat. The poultry and beasts must come from the highland pastures. The fish must be live fish caught from the sea of ​​broken moons and transported by the winged beast cavalry overnight. Don't let them die."

"You should also pay attention to the place of origin of the fruits and vegetables. Your vegetables and fruits are all from the local greenhouse, and the taste is very bad. In the past, the fruits and vegetables for the royal ministers were all produced in Feiyuanxing Province. The forests there have a warm climate all year round and the fruits and vegetables are of high quality."

"There is also cloth. Everyone needs to wear new clothes during the Chinese New Year. The few cloths you send out can only make four or five pieces of clothes at most, or cotton cloth! Which minister have you ever seen wear cotton cloth??? All replaced by silk , two hundred horses per person, remember, all colors must be uniform, not just one color."

"Okay, I don't make it difficult for you, just do it first, hurry up and do it, it must be delivered to us before the year."
