Conquering alien worlds starts from the game

Violet Gerry, 42, used to be a senior clerk in the Office of the Secretary Division.

Mr. Gerry's job content is to be in charge of the personnel files of the law enforcement force in the city of Innerdale—in other words, when there are personnel changes in the original city superintendent, prison and court, Mr. Gerry is here to apply for file changes.

This is a humble and powerful position. Although Mr. Gerry does not directly intervene in the personnel transfer rights of the city superintendent and the prison, he has the right to send back unreasonable file change applications and ask for reaffirmation... There is room for manipulation here. Older, if Mr. Gerry doesn't like a certain person, even if this person is a new judge who is about to take office, Mr. Gerry has the right to let this person be stuck in the file for three to five months.

At least half of Mr. Gerry's annual income of up to [-] gold coins is obtained through his position, and this is an undisclosed but reasonable and legal unspoken rule. The secretary has such a privilege, just like the lord Appointing local mayors is just as reasonable and legitimate.

A similar situation also happened to other senior clerks of the Secretary Department, such as the friend in front of Mr. Gerry... This friend has better channels for making money than Mr. Gerry, and he was originally in charge of the territory of Inadoli The authority of land approval - the nobles want to buy (merge) any good land, they have to send him, the person in charge of registering the local land ownership.

In the secretarial department that directly connects with the mayor and the lord, most senior clerks will not be willing to be promoted even if they have accumulated enough qualifications. The gray legal income that outsiders envy is the biggest main reason.

It's a pity that with the Bartles family being kicked out, the good days of the secretary department came to an end—the unruly Charlie Rex canceled the secretary department without even deciding on a mayor, and made the secretary department The senior clerks are scattered and assigned to various departments, and these senior clerks are asked to do the basic copying work that new recruits can do!

Mr. Gerry was assigned to the Department of Culture, and his immediate boss was a woman named Hibel who used to be a prostitute in Westham!

This Xiebel has not come to the city yet, and he is still doing some literacy work at Westham, but the existence of such a shameful boss is enough to make Mr. Gerry feel that his personality has been humiliated... He will occasionally He went to the reception held by the nobles with his wife, if a noble at the reception teased him a few words about working for a prostitute, would he still have the face to stand among those decent people?

The two people who had the same experience became more and more excited as they talked in the study room. In the excitement, the friend blurted out impulsively: "Why don't we go with Sanshi?"

Mr. Gerry, who was just chattering and scolding the new lord Rex, suddenly fell silent.

After the defeat of Adela III, he has been kept in prison.

The nobles in the city are all watching how Charlie Rex, who has ruined everyone's wealth (casinos and brothels) by entering the city, will treat the former lord, probably because he doesn't want to provoke a strong reaction from the nobles. Rex, the hateful illegitimate son, didn't do too much to Bartles's family, he just sealed up the Bartles's mansion.

But... Rex didn't seem interested in being too lenient to the Bartleys either.

Mr. Gerry knew that a few days ago, Viscount Darcy tried to find an excuse to swallow up the Bartles family's big manor in Kane Town, but Lord Rex did not respond to this.

The nobles who suffered heavy losses on the day of entering the city, as if they had received some signal, grouped up to attack the Bartleys’ manor farm—in Mr. Gerry’s view, Lord Rex seemed to have acquiesced in the nobles’ attack on Bartley’s family. The division of the Rice family's inheritance was an attempt to appease the angry nobles.

Like today, the rude civilian women of the newly established logistics department reorganized and opened in the bar area without any deliberate obstruction. For the time being, I can't be distracted to create a sense of presence in the city.

Through the friendship between his wife and the noble ladies, Mr. Gerry knew how annoyed the local nobles were to Rex, an unruly and immoral illegitimate son; he also knew that the street gangs in the city who went underground At present, they have been deliberately taken in by various nobles, and they are just waiting to cause some big troubles for Lord Rex.

In short...Mr. Gerry no longer thinks highly of the Bartleys family like a bereaved dog. Based on his understanding of the attitude of the local nobles, he feels that he can be patient and wait a little longer, maybe he won't be able to pass Before long, Rex would have to be ousted by the local nobles.

At that time, no matter who becomes the new lord, Mr. Gerry feels that he still has the capital to make a comeback - he has worked in the secretary department of the city hall for 14 years, has enough experience and impressive qualifications, as long as it is not for Lake Si, any nobleman who is a lord has to use a reliable senior clerk like him.

After deliberating for a while, Mr. Gerry hinted to his friends who have known each other for many years: "Maybe we don't need to be too impatient, Jotun, who knows when Lord Rex will release the third?"

The friend failed to understand Mr. Gerry's intentions at the first time, and said in confusion: "The third king knows so many nobles in the royal city, Lord Rex won't let the third king go too far, right?"

Mr. Gerry could only tactfully say: "Of course, Jotun, Lord Rex will release the third king sooner or later, but I think we can wait a little longer, so we don't have to make a decision so early... Even though the third king has a wide network , but I think it would be difficult for him to solve the problem of finding employment for so many people in the territories other than Inadoli—you see, you all want to leave with the third king, there must be many people who have this idea, we But no one is more familiar with the third generation than others."

Yue Dun's expression suddenly became a little strange, and he hesitated to speak.

He thought that Gerry's long-sleeved and dancing wife could also talk to the Bartles family, but it seemed that he was thinking too much.

If you can't get acquainted with the third king, following the former lord who lost his territory would be a gambling bet. Jotun had to give up his mind, leaned back on the high-back chair with a long sigh, and said painfully: "This Such a day is really hopeless, and I really don't know when I will see a change."

"That's not it, we can only wait patiently." Mr. Gerry could not help but sigh.

Middle-class people like Jotun and Gerry, who thought they were closer to nobles, were all concerned about the whereabouts of Adela III. Of course, Charlie Rex himself would not ignore the former who was thrown into prison by him. lord.

Coming out of the boring reception with the nobles, before Rex had time to change out of the uncomfortable dress he was wearing, he ran to look for Yang Qiu who had occupied Bartles' mansion.

Seeing Yang Qiu lying in the luxurious living room playing with his mobile phone, Rex asked, "Yang, we really don't need to take care of those factories in Beicheng?"

"Huh?" Yang Qiu, who was playing stand-alone auto chess, frowned and raised his head.

"Do you know how much food there is in those factories?" Rex took off his bowler hat, slammed it on the sofa, and said while fidgeting to untie the tie on his collar, "The black bread in the city has risen to six One copper coin per bag, the millers in the Dongcheng District can’t produce much flour to sell, but the factories in the Beicheng District are transporting grain out every two days! Carriage by car!”

Innadali Territory is not an excellent food producing area, not to say that there are too few plains, in fact, there are still quite a lot of plains in this territory located in the central and eastern part of the Nabalon continent, which can account for about [-]% of the total land area.

The biggest reason for limiting the grain output of Inadali is that the water conservancy projects are not in place. In summer, except for the mountainous and high-lying Westham, floods are common in other areas, and there is a large area of ​​water shortage in spring and autumn.

However, the population of Inadoli is small, and the total urban and rural population is just over 200 million, and the peasant population accounts for more than [-]% of the total population. Even if the grain is widely planted and the harvest is low, there should be enough food, and there is still surplus.

But... except for one or two months after the autumn harvest, the local grain prices are at relatively high prices. The reason is that the grain export business that the nobles are doing-the six major provinces of the Rhine Kingdom ( In the counties), Inadoli is the largest grain outflow!

The territory of Earl Otis's family next door also restricts the annual outflow of grain, but Innad's collar is open for sale... No wonder Rex became more angry the more he understood the local industrial structure.

"Calm down, Rex." Yang Qiu continued to play with his mobile phone calmly, "The mill owners in Dongcheng District are all from noble families. It’s all about controlling the amount of flour flowing out of black bread, and Ji Tang can handle this matter.”

Before winter, it is very easy for farmers to enter the city. If the bread rises too much, or the public reacts too much, then the farmers who have surplus food at home will take advantage of it, and the nobles behind the millers will not dare too much...

Rex couldn't be soothed by such words, on the contrary, he felt even more uncomfortable, and he couldn't calm down and sit down after walking around the sofa twice.

Rex, who used to wander around alone, thought that the lord would ensure that people would not go hungry as long as the lord lowered the price of food. He had a naive idea in his heart that "one day when he becomes the lord, he must double the price of bread".

After supporting Yang to become a puppet lord, Rex realized that this problem is not so simple... Let alone double the price, if the black bread slices in a catty were reduced by one copper coin, and only sold for four copper coins per bag, it would be fine. People in this industry chain have dealt a serious blow!

From the bakery, to the mill, to the farmers who produce wheat, everyone suffers!

Lower food prices will not allow people to live with peace of mind, but will lead to public unrest. This problem really hurts Rex to the extreme... (Deflation is not the same thing as people's self-chosen consumption downgrade, and it is extremely harmful to society large, which can easily lead to negative productivity growth, economic depression, and especially deflation caused by food)

Fortunately, Yang did not give him the power to decide the price of grain with one word, and Ji Tang and Ms. Zhao would not allow him to mess around.

After being annoyed for a long time, Rex could only hold back his temper and force himself to calm down, sat down in front of Yang Qiu, and took a big mouthful of cold tea: "Then Adela III, when will this guy be allowed to Get out?"

"Speaking of this matter...have all the property of the Bartleis family been robbed?" Yang Qiu raised his eyelids and asked.

Rex: "..."

Of course, it was not Rex who allowed the nobles to carve up the Bartles family's property. He wished to confiscate all the shares of the Bartles family's manor farm, including the factory area... But he didn't count.

If he had the final say, he would definitely hang the third king on the city gate - that guy was no match for his grandfather II, so he hadn't done anything good!

"It's almost the same. The owner and the big housekeeper are in prison, the mistress and the heir are sent away in advance, and the Bartles family has no one to stop those shark-like guys. Now there is only one farm in Horseshoe Town that belongs to their family. Already." Rex said aggrievedly.

"Then you can release the third generation." Yang Qiu said with a smile, "You dress up to pick it up in person, make the scene bigger, be more polite to the former lord, and invite him out respectfully, by the way, at last So let’s say some more polite words to keep that third generation decent, and let the weekly newspapers publish them.”

Rex: "??"

"Young man, don't just look at the present, you have to look at the long-term." Yang Qiu said indifferently, "The commander of the city defense army, Horn, resigned after bringing those soldiers back. Lord, and there are many people like him who miss Adela III's old love."

"Let that third generation exit the stage decently, and take away those guys who are not guilty enough to be caught and hanged, and have no chance to be tied up as road construction coolies. Wouldn't it save a lot of trouble?"
