I, Tsugumi Yuichiro, must do something

In the distance, Tatsumi, who was carrying a backpack, waved to everyone with a smile and ran back quickly.

He returned to his hometown to send some supplies and property to the people there.

However, he did not stay in his hometown for long and returned soon.

"asshole!"

"I thought you weren't coming back."

Iyeas punched Tatsumi hard, which was their unique way of greeting.

From Tatsumi's bared teeth, it can be seen that his punches are not light.

"Can't you be gentler?"

"I haven't seen you for more than half a month, and you are still so reckless."

Tatsumi returned a blow no less forceful than the one Iyeas had delivered. He patted the bag on his back and looked respectfully at Tsugikoku Yoriichi beside him, "I even brought some local specialties for Master."

"Of course, there is also Selius and Lan."

Seeing Tatsumi return safely, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's original worries disappeared.

After all, the empire is now in chaos everywhere.

"How's it back home?"

Walking back slowly, she was always worried about the situation in her hometown, and she couldn't wait to look at Tatsumi and ask.

"The situation over there is indeed worse than when we left."

"Many people in the village starved to death, but I returned in time and bought a lot of food for the villagers."

When talking about the situation in his hometown, Tatsumi's face, which was originally full of smiles, soon showed some sadness.

He began to tell a few people what he saw when he returned.

"I don't know when the drought will end."

"That way, the situation might be better."

Feeling the scorching heat from the sun in the sky, Iyeas sighed.

Their hometown is actually a very poor mountainous area.

There were very few arable fields to begin with, and due to the drought, there was no harvest at all. People had been digging up grass roots and other things to fill their stomachs for a long time.

There are some wild animals in the mountains and forests.

However, ordinary people cannot set foot in those places because of the existence of dangerous species.

They originally helped the village by hunting, but later on, there were fewer and fewer prey in safe places.

Hunting is also becoming increasingly difficult.

In addition, a lot of taxes had to be paid, and the money obtained from hunting was simply not enough to support the economy.

With no other options, they had to come to the imperial capital to make a living.

“Actually, it’s not the drought that’s scary.”

"If we can't solve the problem of heavy taxes and farmers having no land to farm, then most people will still not be able to survive."

Ran follows behind Yoriichi Tsugikuni, who was not born an ordinary person.

His family was aristocratic, otherwise he would not have had the opportunity to study.

Therefore, as a nobleman, he knew how severe the oppression of the lower classes by the nobles was.

The reason why he went to a very poor place to be a teacher was because he could not tolerate the exploitation of the lower class people like his own family.

Of course, he didn't think he was so noble, he just chose to escape because he had no choice.

However, although he knew the fundamental problem of the empire.

But now, he has not figured out a solution.

In fact, he once thought about joining the revolutionary army.

But then he hesitated.

Because during his time in the security team, he thought about many issues.

He gradually realized that if the revolutionary army became the new rulers, it would actually be just a replacement of a group of nobles to rule the lower classes again.

Even an empire as powerful as one that once stood for a thousand years.

In the end, it was different and ended up declining and falling.

Change the ruler.

Such a cycle can certainly give the people of the empire a short respite.

But the problem still exists.

Originally, he had completely lost any hope for the empire.

But after meeting Yoriichi Tsugikuni and the guards, he felt that perhaps the empire could still be saved.

Especially after witnessing the terrifying strength of Yoriichi Tsugikuni, his originally slim hope became a little greater.

'There must be a way to break this deadlock.'

Although no good solution has been found.

But Lan still didn't give up. Now, in addition to working with everyone in the security team every day.

Most of the time is spent thinking about how to change the status quo of the empire.

"If you want to change taxes."

"Then it will only work if the important people in the court agree."

Lan's words caused everyone to think, even though he had just been in the security team for a short time.

But everyone, including Yuichiro Tsugikuni, recognized him.

Although Seru rarely pays attention to politics, she had some ideas after hearing Lan's words.

'The empire's tax collectors are civil servants, and the head of the civil servants is Ernest.'

Although I am a foreigner, I have been living in the imperial capital for longer and longer periods of time.

After having some caring friends in the imperial capital, Yoriichi Tsugikuni also began to slowly care about the situation in the empire.

Tsugumi Yuichiro gradually learned about Ernest. After listening to Lan's words, Tsugumi Yuichiro first thought of Ernest.

As the head of the civil service, Ernest had full authority to decide the taxes of the empire.

However, he actually doesn't know much about politics.

Nor do they know how to govern a country.

therefore.

Although Ji Guoyuan thought that the current situation of the empire might be partly due to Ernest, he did not make any judgment on the matter.

Chapter 85: Sibia, daughter of former minister Qiao Li

the next day.

Yuichiro Tsugikuni had just finished leading everyone in morning exercise.

Go back to the office and sit down.

A man came into his office holding a letter of introduction from General Bud.

"Hello, Captain Jiguo Yuanyi, my name is Sibia."

After handing the letter to Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the girl named Sibia began to introduce herself.

"Ah."

"Even though you have a letter of introduction from General Budd, you still need to start as an ordinary member of the security team."

Ji Guoyuan nodded, thought for a moment, and said calmly, "You and Shayou will go to pick up the things later. She will tell you the specific process."

General Bud didn't say much in the girl's letter of introduction.

He briefly described the girl's background and proved that she had some strength, that was all.

Of course, if there is no direct appointment letter or something.

No matter what General Bud said in the letter, Tsugikoshi Yoshiichi would not show any special care to this girl.

Even the current team leaders such as Seryu, Tatsumi, and Iyeas became team leaders only because they were stronger than others and made contributions to the guard team.

"Ok."

When Sibia heard about Tsugikuni Yoriichi's arrangement, he was slightly surprised.

But she didn't say much, just nodded and left with Shayou.

"It's just like the legend."

After leaving Yoshikazu Tsugakuni's office, a smile appeared on Sibia's face.

She is the daughter of former minister Qiao Li. This time she secretly entered the imperial capital with her father.

Because he had heard many stories about Tsugikoku Yoshiichi, Sibia secretly went to ask General Bud for help.

Finally Budd wrote her a letter of introduction.

She originally thought that after seeing General Bud's letter, Jigoku Yoshiichi would take care of her to some extent.

But they are just like ordinary security guards.

Of course, she was not disappointed by this. On the contrary, she admired what Tsugikuni Yoriichi did.

As the daughter of a former minister who was once the head of the civil officials, she has seen too many people who claim to be fair and selfless, but in reality, when faced with power, they often make concessions.

"Come with me, and you can ask me if you have any questions in the future."

There are only two women in the entire security team: Shayu and Seriou.

Now there's one more.

Therefore, Shayou was very happy about Sibia's arrival.

"Thank you."

Hearing Shayou's words, Sibia came back to his senses and thanked Shayou with a smile.

"Something seems different here."

Looking at the enthusiastic Sayou and the security guards who were training hard in the training ground.

Sibia's gaze finally fell on the window of the room where Yoriichi Tsugakuni was. The guard team gave her a feeling different from other institutions in the empire.

She liked this feeling very much.

the other side.

Because of the incident with Brand, a member of the night raid last night.

The eradication operation that was originally in full swing has now come to a temporary halt.

Serving as a security force to assist the department.

Naturally, there is no need to send anyone out to assist.

Ji Guoyuan started to deal with some of the things he needed to deal with in a day.

Because Jiguo Yuanyi handled problems quickly, he did not have any accumulated things to deal with, so it didn't take long for him to deal with all the problems that the various security teams' departments were unable to solve.

"An Ning Dao was building wooden frames for the celebration in the city, but they caught fire because they were too dry..."

Recalling the last report about the fire caused by the celebration in Anning Road, the losses reported, and the death report.

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi frowned slightly.

The An Ning Dao has been too active in the imperial capital recently. Almost every time he goes out on patrol, he can see some people from the An Ning Dao preaching everywhere.
