Chapter 222 Barak Kingdom Said
Zhang Wei sat on the main seat, and the foreheads of the managers standing below were sweating, feeling a little uneasy.

On the table is the city's development in the past six months, among which the economic situation is specially made into a curve.

"Thank you for your hard work. You performed very well." Zhang Wei closed the documents and handed them to Bibi Dong who was next to him, allowing her to check.

The four people below trembled at the same time, and hurriedly declined: "Your Excellency, the City Master is serious, this is our duty, and it should be."

"The economic trend is rising steadily, the construction of the urban area is completed, the construction of the moat is completed, and the planning of the military area is also completed. Without you, I cannot do this alone."

Zhang Wei shook his head, not stingy in his tone of praise.

It's a pity that the four of them became even more nervous. After being officials for so many years, they still understand some things. What is carrot and stick?

"Good apprentice, what do you think of the information above?" Before the four of them could speak, Zhang Wei changed another topic that seemed unrelated to this.

Bibi Dong put down the briefing and rubbed the corners of her eyes: "The public opinion survey is fine, even if some people are a little cautious, it won't affect the overall situation.

But why is the economy growing steadily, but we don't have much official deposits? "

Her voice was very flat, and she simply asked a question, but the audience fell silent immediately, and no one said a word.

The sound of breathing seemed to have stopped at this moment, and the faces of the four were a little ugly.

For the matter of falsification in the briefing, they dare not, each layer will have a backup, and if the data does not match, they will go straight to the end.

"We are wronged!" Zhang Wei's eyes projected over, and the four of them knelt on the ground without saying a word, tears streaming down.

The one who took the lead even spoke in an aggrieved voice: "The total population of C'Thun City exceeds 120 million, and the floating population even exceeds 150 million.

In the past six months, construction, public expenditure, the army and taxation have become the main ones. Our wages have not increased much, and we really can't save money. "

Zhang Wei rubbed his chin and said playfully, "Taxation? Why didn't you tell me about this as soon as possible, it's not a trivial matter."

"Actually, the kingdom's tax increase is quite normal for us. The current king is old and may have to abdicate in the past two years.

However, the position of the new king has not yet been determined. The third prince, the fifth prince, and the seventh prince are all vying for it, and all the cities are in chaos.

Our C'Thun City has always been neutral, and the kingdom will not let us go. With trembling bodies, some news spit out from their mouths.

On the contrary, Zhang Wei frowned, which was the same as what he learned during his private visits.

Today's C'Thun City has a population of one million, and its economy and politics have gradually become an indispensable part of the Barak Kingdom.

If one of the three princes has the support of this force, then it won't be too much of a problem to want to become a prince, or even ascend to the throne.

However, the meaning of the Heaven Dou Empire was somewhat vague, they did not express their opinions publicly, and kept silent strangely.

"Which prince is raising the tax?" Zhang Wei's voice broke the dullness in the field.

"Yes, it's the third prince. He controls the kingdom's economy, and this prince is in charge of the report every five years." The answer was quick.

Frowning, Zhang Wei remembered a plan that had appeared in Wuhundian in the original book.

That was when Bibi Dong ascended the throne in the later period. With the Soul Hunting Project as the core, the civet cat was replaced by the prince, and the Tiandou Empire was quietly occupied.

Although the plan failed in the end, it also inspired Zhang Wei.

He can also do such a thing now, but he needs to know the three princes first.

"In this case, you can talk about the three princes, and you must get to know our future master." Zhang Wei's tone was a bit strange.

The four of them didn't dare to speculate on those things at all, they looked at each other and agreed on the answer: "The three princes have their own strengths and merits, and they all have something to praise.

The third prince controlled the country's economy, and he had done his best these years. The beast tide six years ago caused huge losses, and he was the one who led the people through the difficulties.

The fifth prince is even more special. He is already a soul sage-level master, commanding the kingdom's army, and he is also responsible for suppressing the beast tide in the country.

The last seventh prince is much more ordinary than the other two, but he was born of the queen and has a certain degree of orthodoxy, so many veterans in the kingdom support him. "

The distinctive triangle and extremely stable relationship are especially in line with the habits of those in power, which is the so-called check and balance.

If nothing else happened, the third prince who was the first to attack him should have obtained the support of the Heaven Dou Empire and the others secretly.

Zhang Wei had already seen the result, with a smile on his face: "Three princes? Do as the third prince asks."

The four of them were taken aback, as if they didn't understand: "My lord, what did you say?"

"For the time being, let's do it according to other people's taxes. As for other things, I will tell you when I come back after I go to report this year.

Speaking of which, as a city lord, I have never been to report on my duties. I am also quite a failure as a city lord. Zhang Wei smiled and motioned the four of them to get up.

A feeling of uneasiness emerged in the hearts of the four of them. There was something wrong with the city lord. With that smile, who could still laugh when their wages were deducted?
But they didn't dare to say anything, they stood up silently, and the big boss had to listen to what he said.

"My lord, you are busy with business and don't have much free time. Just leave these chores to us." Flattery is something that everyone can do.

Bibi Dong silently watched, listened, and learned the words and deeds of Zhang Wei and those subordinates.

"Oh, needless to say, remember to inform the Kingdom in advance, and sort out the materials by the way. I will go to the report in March." Zhang Wei waved his hand.

He didn't show much expression on his face. For their flattery, Zhang Wei chose to let it go, which was unavoidable.

The four of them immediately rubbed their chests with their right hands: "All follow the orders of the city lord."

"Well, let's go down first, reward according to the above materials, and prepare the materials to go to Wangcheng by the way." Zhang Wei waved his hand to signal the four of them to leave.

The four hurriedly saluted respectfully and left in a panic, really not knowing how to face the city lord in front of them.

When only Bibi Dong and Zhang Wei were left in the room, there was a moment of silence.

"Master, why didn't you just fall out with Wang Guofang? No matter what, what Wang Guofang did this time was wrong." Bibidong broke the silence.

Zhang Wei smiled: "We are good citizens who abide by the law, don't worry, we will take care of everything when we go to the kingdom this time, and you will follow when the time comes."

As he spoke, he casually touched the other person's head, full of deep meaning.

Bibi Dong silently thought about Zhang Wei's meaning, and left the City Lord's Mansion without noticing that the other party was pulling her, and returned directly to the Shuguang Valley.
