I'm in Terra, governing a weird little country.

If the Perrochi family wants to delve into the whereabouts of this batch of steel, then only two people can shoulder the responsibility.

The first one is the general manager Enxiodis. He admitted that he had lax supervision during the construction process or made mistakes in the purchase of steel, resulting in the quantity of steel being less than the scheduled quantity. This is the best way to convince everyone. But it’s also the most impossible way.

The second person, of course, can only be the unlucky technical executive Nohiss Edwys.

"General Guluo, we already know your doubts and appeals, but I think this is a small misunderstanding caused by unequal information."

"Steel materials are not purchased, thrown on the ground, and then directly formed into a railway. It still needs technical processing and adjustment, and in this process, some loss will naturally occur."

"The size of this loss completely depends on the local technical level, and you should also know that based on Kjerag's current level of industrialization, a large amount of loss is completely foreseeable. Rather, if Aktos ·If Mr. Perrochi could have signed the blast furnace purchase application at that time, this loss could be completely avoided. This kind of misunderstanding would not have occurred between us. Of course, I did not accuse him of being short-sighted and looking for trouble. It is not too late to make amends, and Kalan Trade also welcomes him to send representatives to discuss the plan to restart the blast furnace at any time."

Nohis tried to fool Gu Luo, who had no knowledge of engineering at all, from a professional technical perspective, and even wanted to trick him into helping advance the blast furnace ironmaking plan that had been delayed for a long time and had nothing to do with railway laying.

After Datong's lecture, Gu Luo's poor knowledge reserve really lived up to expectations and fell into a brief silence.After a moment, he seemed to have figured something out, shook his head, raised the ax and pointed it at Nohis:

"I don't understand what you are saying at all! But it means you are responsible, right?"

"I..." Nohis almost couldn't restrain his temper, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, "Theoretically, this is an objective factor -"

He was rudely interrupted before he even finished speaking. Gu Luo had an "I understand" expression on his face:

"No, didn't you just say it was because of some 'technical level'? To put it bluntly, your Kalan Trading skills are not enough! Just as it happens, aren't you the technical commander of Kalan Trading... ..”

"It's the Executor," Enxiodis corrected.

Gu Luo nodded: "Aren't you the technical executive? As soldiers, if we lose the battle, it's because I, the general, are not good enough. For those of you who are engaged in technology, if your technology is not good, isn't it your problem?"

Nohis's words were choked in his throat. He knew that Gu Luo was just messing around, but he couldn't say anything.

how to explain?Why does he feel like the more he explains, the more he loses?If I could explain it to Gu Luo, it would be like Chen Rui eating Sichuan peppercorns and his uncle (losing) numbness.

After holding it in for a while, he lowered his head in grief and anger, clenched his fists, and said one word from between his teeth: "Yes!"

"That's right, this is what happened earlier!" Gu Luo suddenly became proud, "Don't be a technical commander if you are not good at technology. I think this railway project will probably have to be stopped for a while. It is impossible to say that there are also technical problems. Woolen cloth?"

Enxiodis shook his head lightly: "The railway can't stop. Nohis, I will punish him, but this is an internal matter of Kalan Trade, and it is not the Perrochi family's turn to dictate. I will give you a satisfactory answer when the National Assembly convenes next time."

With that said, he turned around, ignoring Gu Luo's shocked face, and pulled Nohis who was on the verge of breaking out, and turned away.

The security personnel of Kalan Trading also quickly dispatched and blocked the main entrance, stopping Gu Luo who wanted to break in. The tall man with plump hooves in the lead made Gu Luo even look at him with fear.

"Master still has something to deal with, please come back."

............

"How about it, you lose this bet."

Back in the office, Enxiodis looked at Nohis who was still angry with a smile and took a sip of the black tea in the cup.

Nohis took several deep breaths to stabilize his mood and glared at Enxiodis.

Although he doesn't want to admit it, his chance of winning is infinitely close to 0.

As mentioned before, the matter of steel can be big or small, depending on whether the other two major families and Manzhuyuan investigate deeply and can provide conclusive evidence to prove the flow of this batch of steel.

Judging from the mutual testing just now, it is obvious that the Perrochi family and Manzhuyuan who instigated them cannot produce evidence.

This can reveal two pieces of information. First, the root cause of this matter is that Ernst Shivaash has indeed obtained the Kjerag account book in the hands of Manzhuyuan. He has completed a seemingly impossible task. Task.

Second, Ernst Shivaash did not know, or knew but did not inform the Great Elder of the flow of steel and the evidence.Although he did screw up Enxiodis and Kalan's trade, he didn't go too far.

You've been a little too popular recently, this is just a small kick.

This feeling came to Enxiodis' mind.I suddenly felt a little surprised.The last time he was criticized and suppressed like this and still couldn't do anything about it was when he was facing those wily politicians in Victoria when he was studying abroad.

But he quickly shook his head.

It must be an illusion. No matter how powerful Ernst is, he can't be compared with those old babies in Victoria.

In any case, it will be difficult for Nohis to take the position of head of government and speaker until the negative impact of this incident is eliminated.

"Just step down from your position as technical executive for a month. Anyway, your research funding this month has been lost to me."

It was rare to see an old friend depressed, and Enxiodis even smiled in a good mood.

But Nohis couldn't laugh, anger and tears were swirling in his heart:

"Hmph, what's the use of him getting the financial report? Don't we still know what Kjerag is like? The financial report will only make him more desperate. In that position, without the corresponding resources and backstage, he will only achieve nothing. . When the time comes, he will have no choice but to give up his position obediently!"

"You're right." Enxiodis nodded. This was the most likely outcome. If what had just happened had happened before, he might have sighed helplessly and regretfully for Ernst, but this time At this moment, he had some new expectations, "But, what if?"

"I always feel that my younger brother can give us some bigger surprises."

Nohis curled his lips with a look of disbelief.

Enxiodis was not annoyed: "How about we make another bet? This time it will be three months."

"Just bet!"

Chapter 7 Ernst sends an invitation to make money

Narrowing his eyes, he moved the account book in his hand closer and further away. Ernst had a certain charm of the subway, the old man, and the mobile phone.

After a long silence, he finally determined that there was nothing wrong with his eyes. His expression suddenly became distorted, and he couldn't help cursing:

"Tmd, how did Kjerag end up like this!"

It’s no wonder that Ernst was so angry. If the figures reported by the three major families and the statistics of Manzhuyuan were not too wrong, then the government’s expenditures during the entire Kjerag Manzhuyuan era were divided into four major categories.

Religious sacrificial expenses account for about 60.00% of the entire government finance, building maintenance expenses account for about 30.00% of the finance, support for scientific research, investment in industry and development account for [-]% of the finance, and national defense expenditures account for [-]% of the finance.

Even a novice who knows nothing about politics and economics can feel how outrageous this number is when reading this number!

But the maid, Ya'er, who claimed to be "ordered by the saint to assist Good Ernst," seemed to not understand it at all, and tilted her head in surprise:

"Is there anything strange about this?"

"Isn't this strange enough!" Ernst sat down against the corner and covered his face.

He expected that as a pure agricultural land that was not polluted by modern industry, Kjerag's government finances would definitely not look good, and he was mentally prepared accordingly.But he didn't expect that income was nothing but distribution.

"For example, the Ursus Empire's defense spending in previous years accounted for more than 50.00% of the government's finances. Although it has declined in recent years, it has also stabilized at around 40.00%. In Colombia, in addition to fixing more than 30.00% of its fiscal funds for In addition to supporting the development of science and technology, we will also specially approve innovation support funds to reward companies and individuals who have made major breakthroughs in scientific research."

"How big is Columbia and how big is Ursus? Just imagine, if they want to compete or conflict with Kjerag in scientific research and military affairs, will Kjerag have a chance of winning?"

Ya'er nodded in sudden realization, but seemed a little unconvinced and said doubtfully:

"However, I think the Perrochi family's army and the various scientific and technological inventions of the Kalan trade are quite good."

Ernst raised his head and rolled his eyes at Ya'er:

"You're right, but let's not mention how powerful those militiamen who have no modern weapons at all are. Can the Perrochi family represent Kjerag?"

"No matter how strong the soldiers of the Perrochi family are, they are still from the Perrochi family and are private soldiers. It's like they didn't ask for a penny from Manzhuyuan for this. If there is real danger, Xierag The government has no right to command them. To put it bluntly, the Perroche family is actually a warlord family, but now they still obey the orders of the Kjerag government."

Ya'er was somewhat dissatisfied with Ernst's statement and retorted:

"How can you say that about the Perrochi family? For thousands of years, Perrochi has been loyally protecting Kjerag's safety!"

Ernst pursed his lips. He knew that what Ya'er said was an indisputable fact and a thought shared by almost all Kjerag people. But that was the fact. If Kjerag wanted to achieve complete modernization, then Pell The Luoqi family was someone who had to be included or even eradicated.

This is also a fact, a fact that everyone will understand sooner or later.

"It's always been like this, right?"

Ya'er choked and was speechless.

Ernst did not force her to understand or accept his ideas. After all, this required a process, and the things that needed to be solved at the moment were more financial issues.

To put it bluntly, the world's financial problems can be summed up in four words - increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

Cutting back on expenditures always offends people, especially religious affairs, which now account for a large portion of the financial expenditures of the Kjerag government.This must be cut, but how to cut it is a troublesome matter.

Yeragond is the belief of all the people of Kjerag. Even a rebellious person like Ensiodis needs to bow obediently and keep a distance in front of the saint, otherwise he will be criticized by all Kjerag.This also means that the feasibility of Ernst grafting conflicts onto a certain family or individual using a method such as the Kengkalan trade to divert trouble to the east is very weak.

There is no other way. It is the ancestral rule to sacrifice Yeragonde. Anyone who violates the ancestral rule will lose his head~

After much thought, Ernst decided to put aside cutting costs for the time being and focus on "open source".

Compared to cutting costs, there are many more ways to open source.

There were many ways to increase government revenue, including tourism, mining, and selling land. Ernst eliminated them all, and finally chose the simplest, most convenient way that didn't even require any upfront investment.

It's just that he can't do this alone, he has to find help!

"Miss Maid, I can take this account book."

Standing up and patting the dust on his trousers, Ernst looked at Ya'er who seemed to be in a low mood. After thinking about it, he decided to take responsibility and said a few words of relief:

"Actually, you don't need to pay too much attention to what I say. Whether it's building the army or developing scientific research, these are things that I, Prime Minister Kjerag, should worry about, and they actually have nothing to do with you and Sister Enya. Moreover, I am still a mere commander, and those words I just said are just words at best."

"Perhaps, if I talk so much now, if I actually do it, it will be all in vain, and I will make myself embarrassed."

Ya'er raised her head, her dark blue eyes flashing with searching light:

"If that's the case, will you still work hard?"

Ernst nodded without hesitation: "I will."

Ya'er showed a loving and charming smile, nodded slightly and said, "Then Yelagund will bless you."

This smile was so stunning that Ernst was intoxicated by it for a moment.But soon, he realized his rudeness, blushed slightly and rubbed his eyes, covering up his embarrassment:

"Thank you for your blessing, and may Yeragond bless you."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the Shenglu Palace quickly, with a pace that even seemed like he was running away.

...........

Kalan Trading Headquarters, it’s almost time to get off work.

Enxiodis was particularly busy today because of the incident with Nohis.The temporary staff deployment took him a lot of time. Normally, at this point, he would have been thinking about the future while sipping black tea at home.

But he was not tired. On the contrary, he was in high spirits today and was even in a better mood than usual.

There was no other reason. He won a bet with his old friend, and his younger brother gave him a big surprise.

I originally thought that as a polished commander, being promoted to the position of Prime Minister and Speaker, his younger brother would be in a hurry for a while.

"I just have to tell him that he won't be able to do this kind of bad behavior again in the future."

With this thought in his mind, Enxiodis raised his head when he heard the cheerful footsteps coming from outside the office door. Before he could say please come in, he saw a silver figure crashing into the door and leaping towards him.

The next day, news of Enxiodis's assassination would probably spread throughout Kjerag north and south.

"elder brother!"
