Hughes of Armantia

But the current engineering process is so slow.When the time comes to ask the subordinates, why don’t they prevaricate and say that there are so many constructions suddenly, materials are hard to find, labor is not enough, and other excuses, and after a few years, can’t it be settled?

Ordinary nobles don't know the price of items in the untouchable area, but Hughes, who has lived there for a long time, knows it clearly.The prices of the imperial city and the seven major islands are naturally more expensive than normal, but in order to allow more people to eat the food in the untouchable area, the price can be said to be [-]% cheaper than the seven major islands. The "luxury goods" cultivated on the land can't be bought anyway.

If you calculate it like this, you don't know how much money you can save.Anyway, if you want to talk about Hughes, just talk about it!Don't think that because of an order from Hughes, it is not the person you want to help that will benefit, but the plan that will make other people earn enough money.

In Hughes' own words: "Why do I put my money in the pockets of those corrupt officials?"

Probably because he was too worried, so he concealed his identity and came out to check!Although the expected result is almost the same as what he thought.

But where can I find out if I really want to find out?Hughes gave the order, and Nannia took over. Nannia took out the required expenses from Curry and distributed them to the financial officials directly under Mariel, who then distributed them to the dispatchers, and then handed them over to the managers of multiple islands. Zhitaichang, and then the Zhitaichang dispatcher will be assigned to the officials of the small island.Even if it is in the hands of island officials, it cannot be prevented from being corrupted when it is handed over to the executive staff.Even if the officials are not corrupt, there is no guarantee that they will not be corrupted by the dispatcher when they are dispatched. Robbers, it's unknown if they took away a box or two.Calculated in this way, if you want to know where the deduction of those cheating work is deducted, you don't know.It is simply a large running account, and even the source cannot be found.

"Hughes! Hughes!"

"Ah?" Hughes finally got out of a lot of considerations when he heard Jieer's voice.

"What? Are you tired?" Zell asked.

"No." Hughes said a trace of confusion flashed across his face. Although he answered Jieer's words, he obviously didn't stop at all.

After getting off the boat and docking, Hughes and the others casually rented a small hotel on a small drifting island near Grineva. After all, it was already dark, and they were always rickety on the boat. Shaking my head is also dizzy.Just like floating islands, it’s nothing to people like Hughes who have always lived on floating islands, but being in a daze even after eating seems to just increase other people’s worries!

"What!" Jieer said with a look of disdain: "I'm annoying you so much by staying, you don't even want to take a second look?"

"It doesn't seem to be the case!" Seeing that the two looked about to quarrel again, Catherine couldn't help but said, "Our Majesty the King is calculating a lot of current accounts in his mind!"

"How do you know?" Hughes couldn't help opening his mouth when he heard Catherine's words.

"Don't forget! I became the lord of the fourth island by virtue of my strength. Do you think I haven't thought about what is in your mind? Then you underestimate me too!"

"Then tell me, is there any way?" Hughes said.

"This kind of problem is the most difficult to solve." Catherine said: "Even if you use the most trusted people to supervise, you can't find so many trustworthy people. Even if you let the superiors and subordinates supervise each other, it is difficult to guarantee that they will be in collusion. Private pockets. If you replace all the officials involved at once, I’m afraid you can only be a bare king. Although I also thought about directly distributing the money to the officials of the islands, if the project is not completed, I will directly ask the corresponding officials to ask for guilt. , but during the transportation, the problem of transporting personnel cannot be avoided. A slight change in the dispatch amount is a very large number, and it is a very difficult problem anyway.”

"Then you mean that I can't manage them anymore? With the money they took away, maybe how many educational branches can be established! How can I make them cheaper?" Hughes said.

"Hey..." Catherine stared at Hughes with a playful look.

"What... what..."

Seeing Catherine's malicious appearance, Hughes showed great vigilance instead. After all, he is always a picky guy, so he must not be careless.

"I thought you must have said that there is a large amount of money left, but it turns out that the money still needs to be used for education!"

"Nonsense!" Hughes said, "If I don't build so many educational branches, I still allocate so much money to give them the opportunity to be greedy, I'm out of my mind!"

"Maybe..."

As Catherine spoke, she put a sip of tea into her mouth, as if deliberately trying to keep herself from saying a few words.Anyway, she just likes to pick on Hughes deliberately, and Hughes doesn't understand.But she actually wanted to shut up, so Hughes couldn't say anything more.On the other hand, Jieer, seeing them seem to understand everything they think without even discussing it, felt jealous again.

"Huh!" Jie Er ignored Hughes and Catherine's words, turned his head and ate his own meal.

"What's the matter?" Hughes couldn't help asking impatiently when he saw that Jieer was looking dissatisfied again.But when I opened my mouth, I felt, why are you asking him at this time?Isn't this looking for a quarrel?At first, I thought that there were a lot of troubles recently, and looking at his mischievous face might be comforting, but I didn't expect that he was almost arguing along the way, and the troubles became more and more. I really don't know what to take What happened to him.

"It's okay! Seeing that you guys are chatting in full swing, can I bother you?" Jie Er said.

"Whatever you want!" Hughes also showed a look of indifference and then bowed his head to eat his meal.

"you!"

"That's enough!" Catherine said as if she couldn't bear it anymore: "I said, can you stop talking a few words? Since I went out, I haven't stopped. I just talk, and every time I get involved Me, fun? What the hell did I do to me?"

"It won't be troublesome until something happens!" Jieer muttered in a low voice.

"What do you mean! What else can I do to your idiot king? You are the only one who likes it. Do you think everyone is as naive as you?"

"Hey! Don't call me an idiot!" Hughes also looked unhappy.

Although there is no doubt that Jieer's position is a little higher than Catherine's, but in terms of temperament and age, Catherine can be his sister.Although sometimes I think Jieer's arrogant personality is very interesting, but it's a bit unbearable to be jealous every time.

After a lot of excitement, the three of them seemed to be tired and didn't say a word.

"Ah..." Catherine sat blankly for a long time before she finally got up and said, "I'm going to sleep, you can talk about what you want to say!"

Seeing that Catherine left as if she didn't want to say more, Hughes and Jiere also turned around and got up and left as if they didn't intend to continue talking.But within two steps, they found that the two of them were actually walking in the same direction.

"Hi! Which room do you live in?" Jieer asked with a suspicious expression.

"302..." Hughes replied as if realizing something.

"Oh! I almost forgot to mention it!" Catherine suddenly turned her head and said, "When I came to this hotel, I heard that there were only two rooms, so what! The guards we brought lived on the boat, and Manny and I shared one room. , the two of you are a couple anyway, just live together."

Catherine turned and left after speaking.

"Ah? What are you driving..."

"A joke?" Catherine said again: "Anyway, you lived together in the imperial city, so what does it matter now? You make as much noise as you like in there, don't make trouble in my room!"

What I wanted to say at first was taken away by Catherine in no time, but I couldn't say anything.If it's the usual Jieer, it doesn't matter if they live together, but today's Jieer is so scary, just don't make more noise at night.
