Warhammer Seal

Chapter 248 The Northern Expedition
"Ben Yu's name is Zhengying, a native of Shushan, who was ordered by the Queen of the Moon to hunt down and kill all Jade Blood Vampires. Where did you come from? Do you know what you have done?"

Yuju seems to be the name of the Cathay witch hunters. They usually act alone and work hard to wipe out all the undead creatures in the world.

Occasionally, he also works for the government, such as hunting down vampires and Tzeentch followers.

There is a wooden sword on his back and an iron sword hanging on his waist.

When talking to Wende, he straightened up the iron sword, cutting the body with iron and the soul with wood.

Of course, there was no need to cause so much trouble. Of course, Wende directly stated his purpose of coming here, which was just tomb robbery, and he didn't have any idea of ​​using vampires to harm innocent people.

For the sake of Lin Yuxia's testimony, Zhengying also believed Wen De's words.

Although tomb robbery is very immoral, the monks of Yuju never interfere in everything, and only solve the problem of undead flooding.

Put the iron sword back into the scabbard, salute and turn around to leave.

"How about staying for a few days, eat a meal and bring some dry food before continuing on the road?"

Wen De said what he had to say, and it was hard for others to save him, so how could he not give a little thank you?
This was also affirmed by Zhengying, a monk of the Ratman Yuju. It happened that Lin Yuxia, who was also from Mount Shu, was also here.

For Wende, this can be said to be complete.

As the county magistrate of Xinwu City, Ji Xuanyu, General Zhengxi is stationed in the west, Ubu is in charge of it, Lin Yuxia is medical and internal affairs, and a Taoist priest who is elusive and powerful is bound to be able to make some achievements.

As for this stolen treasure, of course it has a destination.

In addition to being the supreme commander of Weixilie Province, Binglong Zhaoming is also a giant dragon. As long as it is a dragon, it must have a disadvantage.

The greed of the dragons makes every dragon extremely fond of precious metals.

That's right, he is the target of Wende's stolen goods. Don't worry if he doesn't buy it, Wende has already prepared all the countermeasures.

Made a few testimonials, saying that this thing is a treasure found by the ogre, Wende bought it, and now sells it to Zhaoming.

Zhaoming only needs to spend money to buy authentic treasures.

Wende disposed of the black goods in his hand.

The ogre is also willing to take the blame.

In short, it was a very common money laundering activity. After such an operation, who would know that the current batch of treasures in Zhao Ming's hands were all stolen from the tomb?

Everyone's money is now clean.

"You are not kind, but you are not evil, contradictory, too contradictory."

Zhengying was sitting at the door, drinking a bowl of cold green tea in his hand, and also came up to talk to Wen De after he finished his work.

"But at least through my observations in the past few days, you don't have any traces of Jade Blood vampires on your body. Very good, you are not controlled by vampires, and you have no traces of Tzeentch's worship. You are a safe person. If you invest in vampires or Tzeentch’s camp, I can cut off your head without the Raven Guard.”

"In addition, thank you for your help in the past few days. Now that I have finished my supplies, it is time to continue on the road."

As soon as the words fell, Zhengying left a few strange runes on the ground, and then raised his breath and lightened his body, and headed towards the north. I don't know what his ultimate goal is, but it must be related to the disaster in the north.

No need for outsiders to say that Wende knew the inside story. Tzeentch was making waves in the territory of Cathay. With her character, she would not only cause turmoil in Cathay, but would also directly march from the north.

I'm afraid that Biaolong Miaoying, who is currently stationed on the Great Wall, is facing serious military pressure.

But what does this mean to Wende?Instead of going to the problems that you can't solve at all, it is better to focus all your time and energy on the things that can be solved at hand.

Under Uub's introduction, more and more ogres flooded into the Xinwu City controlled by Wende, acting as various workers. Apart from eating more, they had no disadvantages at all.

Never cheating, cheating, or cheating.

The cost of hiring ogres has also dropped by 25%. They have built the entire Xinwu City into a large city integrating trade, agriculture, and industry.

The most useful thing is the new decree promulgated by Wen De, which directly broke away from the restrictions of the feudal society period, severely attacked the interests of landlords and academics, used all resources to invest in production, and mobilized people's enthusiasm.

In this short period of time, the economy of the entire city began to grow. Although the tax was not high, it also caused a lot of money to accumulate in the warehouses of Xinwu City.

More money is not good news. Although more savings can resist risks, it is not conducive to economic growth. We must find new investment directions to use the money.

After all methods have been tried, there is only one method that can invest in stimulating domestic demand, and that is military expansion and foreign plunder.

But, blindly expanding the army will cause hostility from other forces, Wen De had to leave his handle on Bing Long Zhaoming.

And this handle is not about hostages and treasures, but a simple sentence.

As a leader, Zhao Ming is also a person who is familiar with political thinking, and the words left by Wen De are related to all of this.

[I'm not from Cathay, nor a regular Dragonborn]

As soon as these words came out, he handed over his trump card to Zhao Ming.

All it takes is this one reason, no matter how high a position Wen De has climbed to, Zhao Ming's sentence "he is not in the right position" can directly remove him from the high official salary.

Moreover, many of Zhaoming's shady affairs are handled by Wende, and in the end all the scapegoats can be thrown on Wende's head.

However, these two points can only be used when the two sides have completely broken up.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Wende's New Deal has indeed brought vitality to Xinwu City, and of course he should be further delegated to allow him to achieve greater results.

Of course it is good to be successful, and Zhaoming does not have to bear the consequences if he fails. He has always done business without money, and has never provided Wende with any investment.

But this time, after seeing Wende's plan, it was too unreasonable not to invest. He immediately waved his hand and gave Wende a quarter of the army and a full three months of food and salary.

Of course, you still have to put your own dead soldiers in it, lest Wende, the imperial man, pull the bottom out of the pot and create a wave of rebels.

Even at the risk of being betrayed by Wende, it is because Wende's plan is too bold and forward-looking, and it is even worth the risk of the dragon son, Binglong Zhaoming.

"I will fulfill my mission and use my troops to destroy the gentry and traitors in the north, and capture Shangyang City, the City of Monkeys, and the Altar of Master Dan Ding."

　Cathay's territory is really too big, equivalent to the combined area of ​​the Empire and Bretonnia, so managing such an area is very troublesome and difficult.

　　At the same time, there are no natural dangers and obstacles in the territory of Cathay. The north faces chaos directly, the south is full of rainforests and various beastmen, the ogres in the west can emerge from the Mourning Mountains at any time, and the black ark of the dark elves and the old enemy Nibon are in the east. plundering fleet.

　　In order to ensure the stability of the rule, the Dragon Emperor Haotian not only let the nine dragon sons each guard one side, but also let mortals serve as the prefect (province), Jiedushi (big city) and Zhenfu (small city).

　　These mortals (including dragon descendants) usually support themselves in the territory when the Dragon Emperor and Dragon Son have no time to manage or when there are major changes, and they are not completely controlled by the central government in terms of military, finance, and personnel.

　　In the history of Zhendan, Annushan, Shi Shiming, Dong Zhuo, Wu Liugui, and the Monkey King who served as prefects, military governors, and eunuchs all caused very serious rebellions.

　　If you take a long-term view, you can see the second layer. These rebels all represent the interests of the gentry and landlords in the area they belong to. All in all, it is an economic issue.

　　Wen De is only a county magistrate, one level lower than the governor. (Of course, it's just that the official position is low, and the strength is already higher than Zhenfu.)
