Roses blooming in the heart

"Huh? Why are you so considerate today."

Elena asked deliberately.

"I'm afraid a child will cry when he goes back."

Abelide replied.

Hearing this, Elena just curled her lips, pretending not to care, and then took the document handed over by the secretary before Abelide and read it.

A second before she opened the book and lowered her head to look, Elena specially gave Abelide a provocative look.

In this regard, Abelide just raised her eyebrows and did not say anything to Elena, indulging Elena's little temper.

It's just that he doesn't have such a good temper towards other people.

Abelide looked around at the cowering local officials standing opposite and said, "The district chief is so impressive that he asked me to wait for him."

His tone was light, and if you looked closely, there seemed to be a smile on the corner of his mouth, giving him a good mood.

But now among the people in the room, except Elena who would deliberately think like this, no one else dared to think like this.

As soon as these words came out, the officials in Talanben District became more cautious and looked at each other. A tall and thin middle-aged man stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the district chief is on his way over. When you got off the car just now, I didn’t see the district chief. The district chief thought you were unhappy, so he kept standing there.”

On the surface, it looked fine, her voice did not tremble, but Elena looked up and the man just lowered his head respectfully, and did nothing else, not knowing what he was thinking.

"So it's my fault."

Abelide said, and then she felt a hand tugging at the corner of her clothes. She looked down and saw that it was Elena.

I don't know when the document in my hand was replaced by a projection screen. On the screen, the district chief was following Vitina at a close distance.

Abelide gave Elena a questioning look.

After receiving the message, Elena felt proud, and then explained: "He thought Vitina was coming to our side."

"No one told him?"

Abelide was a little skeptical. Could it be that the district chief couldn't do it without her help?

"Yes, his secretary wanted to tell him several times, but was scolded back." Elena pointed at the man next to the district chief above and said, "After a few times, she stopped telling him."

It sounds funny, but it's true.

Vitina was not with them. Abelide asked Vitina to randomly check all the information on Taran's administrative work in the archives in recent decades, and took a character relationship table to compare.

Of course, Vitina knew that the district chief had been following her, and the subordinates who were following Vitina also whispered to Vitina, but Vitina didn't want to remind that stupid and arrogant person before arriving at the archives room. Guy.

In particular, this guy has made many unfavorable remarks about Hathaway, and he had not been able to meet Hathaway before setting off this time.

Vitina's desire to go crazy reached its peak at this moment, and she hoped that this guy could use his own experience to make Vitina a little happier after discovering something was wrong.

"How did he get to this position? Did I promote him?"

Abelide was confused. She had no memory of promoting or appointing such a person.

The guard on the side explained in time: "Your Majesty, his father was the previous district chief of Talan, and his mother was the daughter of Count Roland. One month before you succeeded to the throne, he became the new district chief of Talan. .”

"So that's it."

Elena added this sentence for Abelide.

Some people rely on luck, but the district chief's luck should have been exhausted by now.

Abelide was not ready to continue wasting time on this useless person. She returned to her original sitting position and looked at the person standing opposite, saying: "The district chief is not here, where is the deputy district chief? Isn't the deputy district chief not here either? "

"Your Majesty, I am the deputy district chief."

The man who just stood up spoke, still keeping his head lowered.

This time, Elena raised her head and took a closer look at the other person. It seemed that the man had not raised his head since he came in.

do what? Is there such a big gap between the central and local governments?

Elena looked at all this. She finally understood the old saying today that the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Far away from the center of the empire, Abelide’s deterrence will be smaller. Therefore, officials from different central authorities are sent out to inspect every ten years. It is also very necessary for the emperor who has been in office for years to come by himself.

It's just that the last time was when Elena was eight years old. There was something going on in the central government at that time. Instead of coming by herself, Abelide sent someone over. Now it seems that it just allowed these corpses to survive for another ten years.

"Okay, that's great." The smile on Abelide's face deepened, and she looked at the deputy district chief who stood up and said, "Then, on behalf of the district chief, tell us about Taran's achievements in the past ten years. Let’s develop.”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The man who was the deputy district chief leaned over and saluted before beginning his narration.

At the same time, Elena also exchanged the field investigation information of Taran handed over by her personal guard. The prosperous aspect is indeed as the deputy district chief said, it is the second largest economic center in the empire, but he did not say that in recent years, Taran has become the second largest economic center in the empire. Lan's economy relies on the entertainment industry, various star-making companies and performing arts cities, which together create the prosperity they saw on the warship when they arrived.

Taran was originally famous for its light industry and high-tech industry, but now the entertainment industry seems prosperous, but it is just a beautiful bubble that will burst with just a light poke.

Abelide did not look at the information in Elena's hand, but looked quietly at the officials standing opposite, already thinking in her mind whether to replace only those who did nothing but only embezzled and accepted bribes, or whether to replace them all. Lose.

Abelide prefers to replace them all, but if there is no trustworthy and capable person to take charge of the overall situation in Tallan, it may cause riots.

But at present, Abelide does not have such a candidate, and she can only think about replacing them all. She can only replace the most serious borers first, and slowly replace the remaining ones who can do things but don't do much.

When the deputy district chief talked about the political achievements of the Taran area in recent years, the district chief opened the door and barged in.

"Your Majesty, forgive me. I, I made a mistake. I made a mistake."

The originally loud voice became smaller and smaller under Abelide's indifferent gaze.

Abelide did not speak, but just made a gesture, and two personal guards went over and took the district chief away.

"You continue, don't stop until I say stop."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The deputy district chief lowered his head and continued the introduction.

Elena listened patiently for a while, and finally gave up looking for differences. What he said was completely different from what was in the information, and it was said without emotion, as if he was memorizing a manuscript.

"Did he prepare a manuscript in advance and memorize it?"

Elena asked Alberid directly without suppressing her voice at all.

"should be."

Abelide finally touched Elena's hair, felt better, and said, "I've heard this many times."
