Wolf King

"This highly respected gentleman is Lord Lynn Don Collins, Chancellor of the Exchequer."

St. Bridge's political system is a bit backward compared to the Chinese-style feudal dynasty. There is no upward channel for the bottom, and the class is basically not circulated.

Of course, nobles who are too incompetent cannot take on the core administrative work of the kingdom. People like Earl Harris, who was asked to go back on vacation, usually act as the Minister of Internal Affairs. There is a clear difference between the Earl of Collins who can hold the position of Chancellor of the Exchequer and the former, as Carlyle first introduced this old nobleman.

Those who are in charge of financial power change to the position of Prime Minister and President on Earth. The position is clear and clear. Xiao Yun smiled, bent his eyes, stuck out his tongue, and exhaled white air as long as his arm: "Hello, Earl Collins, I am very glad to see you." pleasure."

Earl Collins is in his 60s, and it was the first time in his life that a big wolf got so close. The old man's face was a little pale, but his posture was quite elegant and calm, and he nodded slightly reservedly: "Me too, a member of the Snow Wolf clan. Sage."

After introducing the old man, Carlisle introduced to Xiao Yun the Minister of Civil Affairs, the Minister of Military Affairs and Marshal of the Kingdom, the Chief Justice and Minister of Justice; these three, like the Minister of Finance, belonged to the leaders of the St. They were obviously much less well-bred than the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Earl Collins—Xiao Yun deliberately approached Carlyle when he was introducing them, but these three couldn't hold back the dignity of the top nobles, and either staggered back or couldn't speak in tune.

"The color is really poor." Xiao Yun smiled on the surface, but he was hehe in his heart. St. Bridge's land area and population are almost equal to a province on the earth. So impatient, let alone the provincial level, the city level Enough.

Carlisle knew that the Xuewolves would have to be naked when they transformed from wolves into humans. He didn't want his teacher to walk birds in front of so many subordinates, so he pretended that he hadn't thought of it at all, and walked beside Xiao Yun himself all the way to the palace; Carlisle ignored them all, and introduced the city to the guests along the way very naturally, and his straightforward attitude had a bit of Xiao Yun's charm...

After finally entering the palace surrounded by the inner city wall, the nobles and bureaucrats who followed along all the way were relieved when there were no shouts from the citizens of the royal city on the street. I have experienced big scenes, but it is better to avoid being chased by citizens like this time to watch rare things!

When the lineup passed the main gate of the palace, the Minister of Military Affairs approached Earl Collins, and lowered his voice dissatisfiedly: "After all, it is a foreign race, it is really shameless."

Earl Collins didn't look sideways, as if he didn't hear the complaint from the Minister of Military Affairs, and deliberately accelerated his pace and took a few steps to distance himself.

The military minister didn't expect Earl Collins to be so shameless, and rolled his eyes greatly.

The officials could still take a car when they went out of the city. When they came back, except for the older ones riding horses, everyone else had to hold their noses and walk with His Royal Highness. They were all exhausted; His Royal Highness thoughtfully let everyone rest in the main hall , Only a few of his cronies brought the visiting guests to the side hall for placement.

The military minister sat on the sofa panting, looked out of the corner of his eye at the few bureaucrats who followed Prince Carlisle, and snorted.

"Hockley really lost all the glory of his ancestors. Look at his flattering appearance. How can he have the charm of the Hockley family?"

The president of the parliament, the minister of affairs, and others echoed sparsely, allowing the military minister to regain some of the face that was neglected by Collins, the minister of exchequer. Unfortunately, there were not many bureaucrats who could sit in the main hall, and everyone's response was a bit lacking. .

Earl Collins frowned and glanced left and right, then raised his hand to signal the guards to step forward and help him up.

"Count, what is this...?" The chief guard who was waiting at the side quickly trotted over and bowed to ask for instructions.

"The Treasury still has some matters to deal with, so I'll take a step ahead." Earl Collins said casually.

"Yes. I'll have someone call the carriage for you." The chief guard hurriedly said.

Collins nodded, and left the main hall expressionlessly under the dumbfounded gazes of six or seven ministers.

As soon as this old gentleman, who had always insisted on a neutral style and even the Ferdinand family respected him, left, the ministers sitting in the hall to rest realized... It seemed that they had been left behind?

Side hall, guest courtyard in a small garden.

Xiao Yun regained his human body, put on his clothes, and came out to meet Carlisle's cronies—neither Hockley, the Minister of Internal Affairs, nor Claudine, the Head of Guards, Carlisle has gradually drawn up the military and political resources that Carlisle has gradually drawn up in the past few years. Talents were also introduced to Xiao Yun one by one; not to show off, but to "hand in homework"... After all, the teacher gave a lot of advice on employing people back then, and Carlisle wanted Xiao Yun to know that he was good at this. hard work.

Xiao Yun shook hands with Carlisle's cronies one by one with a smile. After chatting for a while, everyone retreated. When Carlisle looked over expectantly, he did not hesitate to praise him, and gave a thumbs up: "You have worked hard these few years, Carlisle. , You really deserve the praise from the outside world."

Carlisle was a little embarrassed: "Teacher, in fact, I... didn't realize that employing people is not an easy task until two years ago. It wasn't until last year that I deeply realized how different it is to have my own team..."

"Oh, so you didn't take my words seriously at first?" Xiao Yun teased.

"Uh……"

"Don't mind, people don't fall into the pit by themselves to experience the depth of the pit, how can they understand how deep the pit can hurt?" Xiao Yun smiled and waved his hands, "I won't talk about this. You mentioned in the letter that you hoped that I And Dahe helped educate your two younger sisters, right, it’s okay. Besides, I have an unkind request. You know that my people have been trapped on the grassland for more than two hundred years, and they don’t know enough about the outside world. I understand. If you don’t want to disturb me, I hope to let them understand the operation of the government affairs in the royal city. Of course, it does not involve secret parts that can be made public. Is it feasible?”

"Of course." Carlisle said hastily, "It's not a secret, it can be seen in the city hall of any city...Then teacher, shall I send someone to notify the secretary to prepare?"

"Then I will trouble you." Xiao Yun nodded.

Carlisle quickly called Claudine, the head of the guards, and told him to inform the affairs officer in charge of the administration of the royal city—the minister of affairs could not find a suitable replacement, and the original viscount was still in charge. Of course, for the convenience of handling matters, Carlisle had already It doesn't matter if most of the middle management of the Ministry of Kingdom Affairs is replaced by his own staff, and the minister of affairs who is in a semi-overhead state temporarily occupies the position.

Before the secretary sorted out last year's Wangcheng government affairs materials, the people who had driven for ten days just happened to wash them...

The clansmen who have been dirty for several days help each other to clean up, jump into the pool-sized bath to play and play, and Harris, who wants to get into the water, just sits by the pool and cannot squeeze in; Primo and Balk will enjoy Life's life lay comfortably on the deck chair for the servants to trim their nails, while Da He and Xiao Yun, who were still in the shape of wolves, lay down beside the concave flowing hot spring water to receive the bristles.

Carlisle took off his tuxedo, wearing only a shirt and trousers, and personally scrubbed the dust off the teacher's wolf with a brush; at the beginning, when he did this, the guards couldn't stop staring at him, struggling to dissuade him, but gradually, even the head guard Viscount Claudine is eager to move, and has the urge to step forward to help... It feels so refreshing to scrub the Great White Wolf, and it feels more fulfilling than occasionally brushing the horse by yourself~!

The two servants assigned to Dahe's hair brush became more and more vigorous...

After brushing the dust off his hair, Xiao Yun stood up and shouted to the green dragon on the couch, "Balk!"

Balke propped up his upper body lazily, and gestured in this direction with the other hand, and saw the water vapor on Xiao Yun's body automatically detach and form water droplets, which fell down like rain, and the originally wet white hair instantly became refreshing and fluffy... ... (Carlisle's eyes light up)

Xiao Yun shook his neck hair comfortably, turned back into a human body (His Royal Highness showed an invisible expression of regret), took a large towel from the side shelf and tied it around his waist to cover the bird, and shouted into the bath: "Mumu, come here to brush your hair!"

"Here we come!" Mu Mu climbed out of the bath, and Da La La came over.

The guards guarding the bathroom near the door didn't care much at first, and when Mumu got closer, they found that she had no birds, and their eyes were wide open...

"I can't cover it up...forget it." Xiao Yun twitched the corner of his mouth, and everyone took off their clothes happily when they saw this luxurious bathtub, and there was no chance to distinguish between men and women; they called Mu Mu to lie down and become a wolf, and give it to Carlisle together. She brushes.

Dahe was painted snow-white, and called Balk’s “Human Flesh Dryer” to remove the water and then stretched out to restore his human body; lean but not too strong torso, slender limbs, tough and handsome face, so cool that he has no friends Her temperament instantly boosted the hatred of the guards, and even the faces of the two male servants who were enthusiastic about brushing her hair turned a little pale.

But soon, the guards and servants discovered the truth that she didn't have a bird either, and their eyes nearly popped out of frame...

Dahe ran to take a bath (personal body) in good spirits, and Ah Shan was called over.

This can be regarded as a little bird, the guards and male servants secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling grateful that the world view has been rescued.

Then Mu Mu brushed his hair and left, and the next contestant who came over was a grassroots patriarch with a very intimidating body...

Guard & Servant: "..." What is going on with the Snow Wolf Clan! !

The prairie visiting regiment who had solved the sanitation problem was divided into two groups. One went to the Royal City Affairs Department to visit St. Bridge's government affairs, and the other went to visit the two princesses with Carlisle.

The little princess is still young, and the eldest princess is eighteen years old. She has reached the age that Carlisle, the prince, is very worried about. According to the rumors in the palace, young male mosquitoes are not allowed to approach the side hall where the princess lives...

Teacher Ayun definitely doesn’t need to worry, the teacher is already in heat; Dahe doesn’t have to worry, the object of heat does not include his beloved younger sister; Understood, totally incompetent.

Then His Royal Highness set his sights on Harris, the snake walker, hesitant to speak.

"Hey, Harris is still following us." Primo was a little surprised.

"That's right, didn't you just send us to St. Bridge?" Balk said carelessly.

Harris: "..."

"Balk, is this your attitude towards the friends who accompanied us along the way?" Xiao Yun looked over dissatisfied.

"Eh? Wait, Primo obviously said it first!" Balk was startled.

"Ha, what did I say?" Primo asked innocently.

Balk: "..."

"Let's go, Carlisle." Xiao Yun put his hand on Carlisle's shoulder, "Don't worry, I know what you're worried about. No matter how lewd a snake's sex is, it can't cross species. They have two penises, and they only use the body of a snake to mate. The human race is out of the game~”

Even Harris almost slipped on his feet.

The guards didn't know whether to despise the sage of the Snow Wolf Clan for being unrefined, or to sympathize with the Snake Clan...

The grass-roots patriarch led another team, led by the chief guard Claudine, to the Royal City Affairs Department outside the palace.

The person brought by the head of the guard himself, and His Highness the Prince specially instructed, the officials of the affairs department naturally did not dare to neglect.The office officer on duty led the two clerks and politely invited the guests from the prairie to the meeting room, and spread the government affairs reports, reports, summaries, financial expenditures and other documents of last year's Wangcheng all over the table, and read them as you please.

The grassroots patriarch picked up one of the documents, flipped through it, and then turned to look at the affairs officer standing beside him: "We don't know the words on it, can you please read it?"

"...Of course." The clerk almost couldn't hold back his smile, stepped forward to take the document, and said politely, "Gentlemen, do you want me to read it from the beginning?"

The grassroots patriarch made a gesture of invitation.

The clerk nodded calmly, concealing the disdain in his eyes, and began to recite with aristocratic standards of self-cultivation: ""No. 11 Avenue Road Surface Repair Bill", the sponsor, Baron Rodney, MP. Dear all Minister, the section from Hongfeng Lane to Bird’s Tail Lane on No.11 Avenue, the last pavement repair was 13 years ago..."

St. Bridge's political structure, the royal family and the ministers have the absolute right to speak, and are in charge of coordinating national affairs; but the House of Representatives is also a place for the nobles who are not qualified to discuss politics in the palace. Can submit to the palace.

Recorded in this document is a bill on urban consolidation proposed by a baron MP in March last year.

It took the House of Representatives a month to pass the bill. The president of the House of Representatives submitted it to the palace, approved by the Minister of Affairs, and allocated funds by the Minister of Finance. Under the supervision, check the civilians who should serve, recruit, prepare materials, etc. The construction officially started in August last year, and it is expected to complete the repair of the damaged road surface of No. 11 Avenue in the middle of this year... and so on.

The office officer who read this document in cadence was very proud. Although this matter was initiated by the House, he was actually the one who handled it. The whole process was clear and clear, and no one could fault it. Come to the beautiful performance.

After learning that the foreign delegation was coming to visit, the affairs officer deliberately put this document in the most conspicuous place, intending to let these foreigners see his ability... It would be even better if it could reach the ears of His Royal Highness. It's good.

After closing the document, the affairs officer smiled and looked at the visiting group on the grassland who was listening quietly. It was no surprise that the group of aliens were stunned by shock.

Grassroots patriarch & everyone: "...(oyan o)"

In the spirit of learning with an open mind and asking for advice, the grassroots patriarch wiped off his sweat and asked carefully: "Uh...excuse me...if we heard correctly...the meaning of this document is that in order to repair a 800-meter-long, wide The 12-meter street... pavement, has been prepared for... five months?"

Speaking of the latter, the deep and mellow voice of the grassroots patriarch trembled.

The clerk felt that something was wrong, nodded and said: "Yes, this is the result of consultations between various departments. Every department has done its duty in this matter without any slack, and completely eliminated the possibility of dereliction of duty—"

He couldn't continue, because as long as he was not blind, he could see that the shock shown by these prairie people seemed to be different from what he imagined...

"That is to say, with so many people and so much money spent, it will take more than a year to build a road?" Rosemary said with a wonderful expression, "Then if I come to work with you, I must be the most diligent the one from?"

Qing Yan looked sideways: "You kid is quite self-conscious..."

"It's outrageous, how can we slow down to this level?" Mu Mu wondered, "Even if it is to dig an 800-meter river channel, it will not take so long, and it will also repair embankments and bridge decks. It’s impossible to dig twice as long, can’t it take so long?”

"Grassroots, how long did it take for the [-]-kilometer dirt road from our factory to the Elven Port?" the Ari tribe said.

"Let's think about it... At that time, Ayue and the others repaired it together with us, with the help of the vassal race of the elves. They only dug a two-meter roadbed, backfilled the earth, and paved the gravel road... It seems that it took a month to repair it? There is a section of road in the middle It’s not easy to do, it took a lot of time to fill in a piece of mud and open rocks.” The grassroots patriarch found that the officer’s face was extremely ugly, and quickly kindly tried to save others’ face, “Ours is building roads in the wild, and they repaired it. But in the city, it should be much more troublesome than us."

"Hehe." Qingyan sneered, but didn't complain.

Rosemary is not the character to show embarrassment to others, and she gestured: "Where can it be troublesome, that is, it takes more effort to transport the stone and earthwork. If you want to leave room for pedestrians, divide it from the middle and repair it first." Half of it, after the road is paved and the other half can be repaired, there won’t be much delay.”

The grassroots patriarch found that it was reasonable for Ayunke to take care of Rosemary...

After being "humiliated" like this, it is impossible for a noble affairs officer to bear it any longer. He is not confident enough to turn his face on the spot, so it is no problem to walk away.

The officer with a face as dark as the bottom of a pot left, but the two civil servants with resentful and annoyed faces did not dare to leave... They secretly cast their eyes on the chief guard who brought the alien, and the two civil servants lost their senses and chose Slap your ass and run away.

The head of the bodyguards, Claudine, relied on his son and the prince's brother to rise to the position suddenly. The original bureaucratic group gave him a lot of embarrassment. Now seeing the disgraced office department, this marginal nobleman with zero political sense is gloating. , the slightest bit undisguised.

"Give away your popularity, no one will read it to us." The grassroots patriarch glared at Rosemary.

"Take it back to Carlisle for someone to read. Anyway, these are not just for us to read." Rosemary said indifferently.

The grassroots patriarch hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Claudy who brought them here.

Hmm... This human race who looks like Dan looks really unreliable...

No way, the grassroots patriarch had no choice but to let everyone hold a stack of documents, and go back to the palace first.

I have to say that the grassroots patriarch's intuition is quite accurate, and Viscount Claude is indeed illiterate... When he went back to the palace, he asked Carlisle to mention it, and Carlisle immediately arranged for two female officers to come over, without counting on his head guard at all.

The female officer is here, and everyone can finally continue to understand the administrative measures of other countries, and then... the world view is refreshed crazily, and the frequency is so high that people can't handle it. Let alone repairing the streets for half a year, the proposal to clean up the moat is still two years old. stay on paper...

"Ha ha ha ha……"

That night, Xiao Yun returned to the guest room in the small garden arranged by Carlisle, facing everyone's confusion, he smiled for ten seconds.

"Actually, it's not that St. Bridge's administrative efficiency is low. It's that the palace, as the core of administration, classifies matters according to priority. It's not something that is urgent to deal with. Naturally, it's left to the lower departments to slowly toss." Xiao Yun took a picture of the female officer. After reading the document to everyone, he said with a smile, "As for the parliamentary wrangling, there is also a hidden rule unique to St. Bridge, or unique to the human kingdom... You have heard a lot today, saying Tell me, what unspoken rules affect Carlisle's country?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, witty like Rosemary and Dahe, and naturally black like Patriarch Ali.

"In our tribe, except for the seaweed and the others, everyone else must more or less undertake their due labor obligations." Xiao Yun smiled, "And in the human kingdom, some people don't have to undertake labor obligations. Yes, they have faced a life of eating and waiting to die since they were born, without blood and sweat, without hard work, and a life with sufficient supplies is waiting for them."

"You mean nobleman, right?" Rosemary interjected.

Xiao Yun nodded: "The rulers of the human kingdom are the royal family and nobles. Everyone knows that it is very easy to rule the crowd under the feudal system of lazy power distribution. It is enough for a small number of nobles with certain abilities to assist the royal family. I don’t need so much... But I don’t need these nobles, just feed them with rice. Even if the royal family is willing, the nobles will not, no matter where the power comes from? How can I prove my noble status and earn money for myself if I don’t have power? What about foreign money?"

"Thus, the aristocratic council appeared." Xiao Yun said with a smile, "I don't want to go to the local area to be a magistrate or consul, and I don't have the ability to participate in the palace's deliberations, but I just want to find a sense of presence and want to compare hands with the country's major affairs. The aristocrats with their feet are all stuffed into this noble council."

"There are too many members of parliament, so it is easy to argue, and it is a waste of time. Let this parliament take care of trivial matters, give them the power to propose proposals and decide whether the proposals are feasible, and supervise the implementation of the proposals; After a few months of wrangling to build a road, and trying to seize the "legitimate right to corruption" in this kind of government affairs that is insignificant to the country, these guys with empty voices can't get in the way."

Everyone: "...(oyan o)"

Primo's face was dull, and it is absolutely unprecedented to explain the noble councils of various countries from this angle... It is estimated that there will be no one coming.

After Harris, who was sitting silently in the corner, was shocked, his cold and indifferent facial features gradually revealed rare emotions.

"However, this is still a lazy and shortcut solution. It looks good in a short period of time and can solve the problem, but the hidden danger is extremely huge." Xiao Yun's face straightened, "The king and the ruling ministers with a clear mind know that the nobles What's going on with the parliament, you can't miss the business by pinching your nose and following them. But if the king's IQ is not online, or if he is not strong enough, or if the minister in power uses the noble council as a pawn in the political struggle, he will accidentally give it to him. Without the real decision-making power of the parliament, it is no exaggeration to say that the country is on the countdown to the end."

"Huh?!" Everyone was shocked.
