After a long time, the investigation of people wearing bikini armor wandering around in the new city was forgotten by Cook.
No one knew, Lilith and Sophia were greatly relieved at this moment.
........
On this day, Cook also finished the novel in a good mood.
Sitting in the office, when I was about to stretch and take a rest, the office door was opened habitually.
Chapter 499 : Big, big
The way the door was opened gently, you don't need to guess, you know it's Shaxi.
Sure enough, as the gap in the door widened, the limp black-haired little maid also appeared in sight.
As usual, when seeing Saxi, Cook would switch to a soft smile as soon as possible.
Saxi also reported to Cook full of energy.
"Young Master, Lord Adjutant and Lord Garton are asking to see you."
"Got it. Let them in."
After a brief explanation, Saxi left.
In the beginning, just delivering information would make me nervous, but now Shaxi can do it in a decent manner.
Whether it's Lilith, Shaxi, or Nina and Sylph, they are all working hard in their own way to help Cook share the pressure.
Thinking of everyone's efforts, Cook feels happy.
I was immersed in the pleasure of seeing my daughter grow up as a father. When I realized it, two officers, one fat and one thin, had entered Cook's office.
"Master Cook. We are here to visit."
"Boss, I'm here to disturb you again."
"Adjutant, Lord Garden, welcome, please take a seat."
After the adjutant and Garton sat down, Suzy opened the door again and brought tea and pastries to them.
After completing these tasks, he bowed his head and saluted the two people and left.
Seeing Sha Xi who did her job well, both the adjutant and Garton showed expressions of envy and relief.
"Boss, little sister Shaxi is getting cuter and cuter."
"Yes. Her behavior has become more stable and ladylike. We can look forward to Sasi's future."
"Hee hee hee. You are right."
Cook, who was spraying air from his nostrils, showed no signs of being humble, and proudly puffed out his chest.
"But... Suzy is mine. Don't you have any thoughts about Suzy."
Garden and the adjutant hurriedly waved in front of them.
"Even if we had the guts of a leopard, we wouldn't dare to think about the boss's woman. Besides, I'm going to get married soon. At this juncture, I don't dare to do anything to make Miss Naia angry."
"Yes. I don't want to follow in the footsteps of Master Roger's nephew. The result is terrible. Just thinking about it makes my butt hurt."
After Garton and the adjutant finished speaking, the three of them laughed together.
After some polite words, Cook began to ask the two of them why they came.
Although they are good friends.But visiting Cook during office hours is not a drop-in, after all.
After Cook's inquiry, the adjutant and Garton no longer gave in too much, and immediately explained the purpose of their visit.
"Actually, there are two things to do when I come to see the boss today."
"Two things? Tell me."
"The first is a good thing."
When Gardon and Cook were making reports, the adjutant's face turned red.
Such a coquettish and unmanly adjutant made Cook feel very fresh.
"Let me guess... Could it be that the adjutant brother has a sweetheart?"
As soon as Cook finished speaking, the adjutant and Garton immediately exclaimed.
"It's so, so awesome. The boss is truly the god of the nightclub. He can't hide anything from you."
"It's no wonder Master Max has great praise for Master Cook. Your wisdom is definitely not inferior to the crown of wisdom."
Being praised, Cook felt quite useful.He crossed his legs proudly and leaned on the chair.He looks like a wealthy dog whose family owns a mine.
If Shaxi and the others see this stinky fart, they will definitely be reprimanded again.
But no one was here, so Cook dared to get carried away.
In fact, most of the adjutants and Garton complimented Cook, so it was not difficult to guess the adjutant's situation.
It's like guessing Sister Sophia's answer. The clues are placed in front of you. It's basically an open-book exam.
It's strange not to be able to guess.
Even if it wasn't Cook, anyone else could have easily guessed it.
The man of steel who only knows swords would have such a cute reaction, except for his sweetheart, he couldn't think of anything else.
The corners of Cook's mouth curled up, and he smiled evilly.
"Then, who is the target? Have you already talked about it? In order to help the adjutant succeed in attracting girls, I can also help you match up."
"Then, then there will be Mr. Cook. With the help of Mr. Cook, I believe that my love will definitely blossom and bear fruit. When, when the time comes, I will not hesitate to trouble Mr. Cook."
The adjutant was so excited that he drooled.
Cook could tell that this guy was really in love.
"It's easy to talk, easy to talk. Whenever you need me to do something, just talk, and I will help without reservation."
After Cook finished speaking, Garton coughed lightly.
After receiving Garton's hint, the adjutant also regained his composure.
"I, my private affairs are put aside first. In fact, this matter is the key point."
"Yes, boss. It's not that we don't believe you. But if we wait like this, we're afraid of long nights and nightmares. As soldiers, we do things quickly and don't like procrastination. Even if those things are not under our control, as a garrison, we only care about It’s really hard to do nothing.”
Realizing that Garton and the adjutant were not joking, Cook put his legs down and sat upright, raising his eyebrows.
"You are so serious. What is it?"
Garton and the adjutant looked at each other, and finally it was Garton who spoke.
The slightly fat officer meditated briefly to sort out his thoughts, and then spoke solemnly.
"It's what I told the boss last time. The monsters that appeared around the new city and the bandits who kept harassing us in the forest north of the city."
"Monster? Bandit?"
Cook showed a blank expression and looked back and forth between the eyes of Garden and the adjutant.
Noticing Cook's reaction, Garton and the adjutant seemed a little excited.
"Hey, hey. Boss, don't say you forgot. When I reported to you last time, you asked us to wait and do nothing, just wait with expectation."
"Yes. You also said that you have already thought of a countermeasure. Let us watch the most exciting part... We are all looking forward to it."
Both Garton and the adjutant had very serious expressions, and they didn't look like they were joking at all.
The less it seemed like the two were joking, the more confused Cook became and his mood became more tense.
Monster?Bandits?
What are you talking about?
Question from last report?
Did you talk about these things last time?
Didn't we discuss the 'promise to read new books first' last time?In order to fulfill his promise, Cook also specially asked Cretia to expedite the publication of the book, and sent the first batch of bound books to Xincheng first.
For this reason, the second batch of wise kings and lion kings who just got the books complained.
In order to fulfill the promise, it can be said that it took a lot of painstaking efforts, and Cook was moved by his integrity.
Are monsters haunting the area around the new city?And the bandits harassing the new city?
What are these!
For Xincheng, safety is a matter of survival. These two matters are important matters and must not be neglected.
Ordinarily, I should know about such a major matter as soon as possible and make a decision?
Chapter 500: Let’s go to the palace first
But Cook did not have the impression of having read the relevant reports.
Just when Cook was desperately trying to remember something, the adjutant and Garton spoke again.
"Boss, you are too good at joking. Others will forget, but you will never forget. We have submitted a formal report. It is still an important document marked in red letters. And you also said that you have read it. We are deeply trust you."
"Yes, Mr. Cook. Of course we can rest assured that you will handle it. In this city, there is nothing more reliable than your promise. Since you promised, we should have looked forward to it. But... ..The monster, that is, the activity of the flame demon king bear is becoming more and more rampant. Just yesterday, the victim finally appeared. The carriage traveling to and from Dalabang was attacked. Although there were no casualties, the horse was killed . If it is not eliminated as soon as possible, the harm will definitely increase."
"It's not just monsters. Those bandits are also constantly harassing our new city because of their ease of movement in the forest. Farmers' fields have been destroyed and their crops have been stolen. All issues related to law and order will be reported to us. Continue If you go down, there will definitely be bad noises in the city. Maybe it will also affect your image in everyone's mind."
Cook listened and gasped.
It seemed that things were getting more serious when I didn't know it.
The city lord has the obligation to protect the people in his territory.Rather, in this era, providing protection to the people and bringing them a relatively safe life is the most important essence of the nobility's existence.
Just like Cook's father Vincent acquired the land as a knight, but relatively protected the villagers, Cook, who became the lord of the city, also had to protect the citizens in the new city.
When danger arises, the nobles must take the lead and risk their lives to pick up their swords and fight, while the citizens who gain stability by hiding behind the nobles' swords and shields must contribute to the value created by the nobles (pay taxes).
The nobles fight and the common people pay taxes is the basic idea to keep the relationship between the two in a certain balance.
If the nobles cannot ensure the safety of the common people, the delicate balance between the two will be broken.
The seeds of dissatisfaction will take root in the hearts of the common people. When the dissatisfaction accumulates to a certain extent, the common people will raise their arms and eventually overthrow the rule of the nobles.
There are countless examples of this.
Cook's reforms may greatly improve the living conditions of the citizens and appropriately increase the loyalty of the citizens.But as the city lord, Cook's main duty will always be to ensure the safety of the subjects.No other achievement can compare with this relationship that has been passed down for thousands of years and has long been accepted as the truth.
If the law and order issue is not done well, Cook's new city will never develop in the expected direction.
All Cook's hard work will eventually come to nothing.
If Cook does not deal with security issues in a timely manner or fails everyone's expectations.Then Cook's resume will leave a huge stain, he will lose face in front of the people, his image will become dim, and he will lose his original aura.
At that time, Cook's prestige as the city lord will decline.It will leave an unreliable impression in the hearts of the people.
The land of thousands of miles collapsed in the ant's nest.The distrust of the people in Cook may be small at the beginning, but if any risks arise later, this distrust will be expanded, and will eventually lead to the above-mentioned vicious ending.
When he was the owner of the bookstore and the president of the nightclub union, it was fine for Cook not to pay attention to his image.Back then, Cook didn't need to worry about what others thought of him.But to become the city lord, the more you stand in a high position, so you must have the awareness to guard against the passing of time.
The heights are so cold.
And it was the most worrying problem that popped up in the most unexpected way.
Looking back and forth between Garton and the adjutant.
The two annoying guys spoke regardless of the atmosphere.
"Boss, what should we do?"
"Master Cook. We would like to get some information from you to increase our confidence."
What to do?What can be done?
It was because Cook was not good at handling combat matters that he left this task to two experts, Garton and the adjutant.
Now the two are looking to Cook to make a decision.
Know how to do it, what do you two do?
But Cook complained excitedly in his heart, but he couldn't say that on the surface.Shifting responsibility to subordinates is a sign of incompetence from the boss.
