Elves start from being a lord

Chapter 332 Hosting the Veil City

The lord's mansion of Veil City looked a bit barren.

The original lord Li Lushan has always lived in the Li clan.

Therefore, the Lord's Mansion became a decoration.

On the contrary, this allowed Vivienne and Victor to settle in directly and have a place to deal with the government affairs of Veil City.

But at this time, the situation in the chamber was a bit strange.

Victor sat on the main seat, and piles of documents and materials were placed in front of the table, all related to the current development of Veil City.

The second sister, Vivienne, who was supposed to be the new lord, was sitting on the left, already in a state of meditation.

In front of the two, the former lord Li Lushan and the new city lord Li Kong stood obediently, accepting various cross-examinations from Victor.

"Curtain City has a population of 12, but its tax revenue is not as good as that of an ordinary town. Why?"

Victor held the lily root doll who wanted to play with it in his arms, and asked while stroking the green leaves on its head to comfort it.

Li Kong didn't look sideways. This was a problem with the previous lord, and it had nothing to do with his new city lord.

Li Lushan was obsequious, but he couldn't think of an excuse to hide it, so he could only honestly say: "The Li family... is tax-exempt."

"Free of charge?"

"Hmm... free of charge" Li Lushan answered very simply.

"Your Li family is really good at it. There are no fewer than 3000 people who are related to you. Once all kinds of affiliation, cooperation, and shareholding agreements are signed, [-]% of the business in Veil City will become your Li family's!"

Victor simply didn't know how to complain about this weird historical problem.

After all, the previous taxes need to be turned over to the royal family, and it is a little bit to avoid it.

But this Li family is not avoiding a little bit, it is a billion bit!
But now that the royal family is in ruins, the Li family itself is the biggest taxpayer in Veil City, so the so-called tax payment is just a joke.

Victor looked at Li Lushan, who was greasy, and sighed in his heart.

Can you believe that the former lord of the Li family, which is famous for its fighting style, still has a fat belly?

Perhaps the business has become bigger, and the delicacies of mountains and seas have been eaten more, and even the toughness and ambition of the fighting family have been lost.

Li Kong, on the other hand, was tall and thin. He was obviously a handsome young man like Victor, who looked thin when he was dressed, and had flesh when he undressed.

"Let the person in charge of the Li family's business come over, the tax exemption will be gone from now on.

When I finish the calculation, let's make it up together! "

Victor's words immediately made Li Lushan's face turn pale.

I thought that Victor was younger than Vivienne, so it should be easier to fool him.

But just this afternoon after the betting war, Li Lushan's face paled countless times.

Supplementary tax collection, fake accounts of military pay, dismissal of officials, new convictions...

In front of Victor, Veil City is like a fake city that has been devoured until nothing but an empty shell remains.

And these are just problems that Victor can see through the collected information and ledgers.

Li Lushan felt as if he was a fake lord, unaware of so many things.

It made him feel like the Li family had long since lost any support to Veil City, and was even more like a giant blood-sucking worm.

After all, they can't even resist foreign enemies now.

Li Kong was listening quietly on the sidelines, without any thought of showing off.

Seeing Victor's proficient appearance, he inevitably felt admiration in his heart.

Li Kong knew that the Li family was dying, and also knew that there were a lot of problems in Veil City.

But he only found the problem, but he had no specific solution on how to solve it.

And this afternoon, Li Lushan and Li Kong also gradually realized why the second sister Vivian was so relieved to let go.

Because of this old Viktor, he turned out to be a little-known management genius who is very familiar with city management!
Finally, Victor roughly finished flipping through the last account book, and the second sister Vivian also opened her eyes at the same time.

"finish watching?"

Victor stretched fiercely, and looked at Vivienne dissatisfied.

"Finally finished watching, I found out that it was fake that the second sister asked me to come to fight a thousand miles away, and the real thing is to help you clean up this big mess!"

Victor complained mercilessly, in exchange for a smug smile from Vivienne.

However, considering that there were outsiders present, Victor held back and continued to complain, and turned to look at Li Lushan and Li Kong.

"Old patriarch, City Lord Li Kong, the situation in Veil City is even worse than I expected. Next, we should work together to bring Veil City back on track."

The Li family has surrendered and become their own. Although Victor has some complaints about them, he will not just kill them all like he did with the enemy.

The Li family and Veil City depend on each other, and they have long been inseparable from each other.

If there is still some rescue now, let's save it well.

"As Master Victor orders!"

The father and son responded tacitly and respectfully, they were very knowledgeable about current affairs.

"Well, the old patriarch wants to go back to Shilu City with my second sister, and I need a lot of assistance from City Lord Li Kong."

Victor nodded a little bit, and Li Lushan, who was well-versed in the world, answered immediately.

"I will hand over all the affairs to Shi... Li Kong within today, and ask him to cooperate with the young master as much as possible."

"It's okay if you don't finish the handover, just do it your way," the second sister interrupted suddenly, choking Li Lushan so much that he dared not speak out.

Li Kong just bowed his hands, and had no opinion on his current status as the puppet city lord.

The point is, Victor's two superficial hands have already made Li Kong eager to learn.

Li Kong sees it very clearly. Now that he is a puppet, it does not mean that he will be in the future.

If the Dawn family can really conquer the Sinnoh region, not to mention all of it, even half of the Sinnoh, the Veil City will eventually return to Li Kong's hands.

Of course, the premise is that Li Kong can manage and develop the city according to the requirements of the Dawn family.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Vivienne traveled lightly, bringing only less than a hundred soldiers, Li Lushan, the old patriarch of the Li family, and the strongest Li Lufeng, and set foot on the road back to Shilu City.

In Veil City, only Victor and most of the barren army were left as a force deterrent.

After Victor sent Vivienne off, he turned his head and saw Li Kong who was silent beside him, and suddenly remembered the Nianli clay puppet that had only appeared by his side once.

"City Lord Li Kong, by the way, your strength should be no worse than mine, right?
That Nianli clay puppet surprised my second sister! "

Hearing this, Li Kong didn't know how to answer for a moment.

He wasn't sure if Victor was just curious, or he was probing something.

"City Master Li Kong, we will be on one side in the future, do we still have to hide our strength at this time?"

Victor said bluntly, but Li Kong subconsciously became nervous.

You can't hide anything!

"Master Victor, although my strength has reached the school level, there is still a certain gap compared to yours."

"Oh? Just like me! Then let's fight!"

"???"
