Doomsday Code

This small incident actually demonstrated the speed of information transmission in the kingdom. Within three days after the incident, the news had traveled thousands of miles to the Royal Capital Executive Yuan.

Prime Minister Holmes looked at the report document that was hurriedly handed to him and stamped with the official seal of the Governor of Huidun City.

He really didn't expect that Huidun, whom he had never taken seriously, would have such a strong political sensitivity.

He was well aware that Huidun's move would win him great favor in front of the king and in the bureaucracy.

His move completely catered to the interests of the bureaucratic class, which was that administrative power should belong to them rather than the local nobles.

In the eyes of the bureaucratic class, the nobles have no need to participate in the daily governance of the local area. They should learn things such as painting and music that can cultivate their sentiments.

Or they may devote themselves to practicing magic or the way of warrior, waiting for the king's call to face the country's powerful enemies at any time.

Local governance, tax collection and other matters should be the responsibility of their administrative officials. The annual taxes on the noble territories also need to be collected by administrative officials, who then collect a portion of the taxes according to national taxes and then hand them over to the nobles.

Instead, the nobles directly formulated their own tax laws and did not pay taxes to the national treasury after collecting them.

The same is true in criminal proceedings and so on.

And this is the irreconcilable contradiction between the two.

However, Huidun's method of reporting the case through formal procedures was extremely clever.

In fact, he was telling the bureaucracy in disguise that he supported them, and this time he perfectly cooperated with the criminal prosecution power of administrative officials.

This can also provide a fundamental case basis for administrative officials to take back criminal prosecution power in the future.

But in Holmes' eyes, Huidun's intelligence was not limited to this. His real wisdom lay in the fact that he was very aware that he was a thorn in the eyes of those nobles.

In the eyes of the bureaucrats, he was just a hopeless contender for the throne, not a person of unclean blood.

This action of his has won him the hearts of the bureaucracy. Although his current situation will not change much, the impression of him in the minds of the bureaucracy is developing in a good direction.

If one day his competitive hopes arise, the bureaucracy will naturally become close to him.

However, what Holmes didn't know was that Chen Cheng, who made this suggestion, didn't think as much as he did.

Although Chen Cheng had never been an official, he had come into contact with many officials in his previous life, and he knew these people's faces very well.

He made this suggestion with the mentality of trying both ways, and the most important thing is to let Huidun stand on the moral high ground.

Afterwards, Holmes asked someone to retrieve the files of the governor of the Huidun Territory. He wanted to see what kind of people had defected to Prince Huidun.

When King Moss XIII in the palace heard the news, he laughed happily with great relief.

He was right about Huidun, and combined with the alchemist disaster report he had submitted before, Moss XIII was finally able to confirm that Huidun was indeed a promising talent.

At least it can be confirmed that if Huidun really takes this position one day, he will be able to deal with the ministers under his command.

Afterwards, news of commendation for Huidun came from the palace, and all the territory opened up by the Eighth Regiment of the Western Territory in the Nanmu Forest was directly assigned to Huidun.

After this commendation, there was a bland reprimand, saying that Huidun had no sense of the overall situation and had caused chaos in the territory because of such a small matter.

The reward given by Moss XIII left the princes speechless when they heard about the reward.

I have mentioned the dangers in the Nanmu Forest before. Even if the Eighth Regiment is only exploring the outer areas, the territories of several platinum-level monsters that have been discovered are directly bordering Huidun.

In order to be safe, Huidun had to create an isolation zone. As a result, Huidun's strength did not increase much. On the contrary, because its territory was deep in the Nanmu Forest, it had to consume a lot of manpower and resources every year to clear out the monsters there.

At the same time, the reward that Moss XIII gave to Hel and his Knights of Light in the church was very different. He directly marked out a piece of land in the territory of Wisdom Shield and gave it to Hel and his men.

It can be said that Moss XIII's commendation on the surface was actually a subtle accusation that his church was lawless and unruly, but at the same time he was also taking good care of the church's face.

At the same time, a piece of land was allocated to Hull and his people because Moss XIII saw in him what a church member should be like.

He also understood very well that it was impossible for the Kingdom of Moss to expel the church, but Huidun had a deep hatred for the church.

And now that Huidun can also join the competition for the throne, he must consider Huidun's future.

And Hel is the future helper of the church chosen by Moss XIII for Huidun.

However, whether or not Hull could return to his loyalty was something he could not control.

In fact, if it weren't for the controversy caused by Huidun's bloodline, he would have started training Huidun a long time ago.

Among his descendants today, Huidun has the highest strength and talent. At the same time, the way he handled recent events has also made Moss XIII see his own shadow.

It can be said that Huidun is a qualified successor in his mind.

But as a king, he had too many things to consider, including the views of the aristocracy, the ideas of the church, and the interests of the bureaucracy.

It can be said that his successor must not only have the means, but also must be recognized by two of these three classes.

As for the people's will.

In this world where the strong prey on the weak, public opinion means nothing. They cannot receive any education as everything is controlled by the nobles. They can only hear brainwashing remarks from the church and the nobles.

The real knowledge of magic and warrior training is controlled by the nobles. Even if they can unite with the people's support, they seem so weak under the powerful military force.

But none of them knew that a guy with different ideas from theirs had come into this world, and he would let everyone know what the people's will and the people's power are.

After Qu Sai learned what had happened, his old face turned red with anger.

Looking at what Hull had sent him, this old fox naturally saw through the trick at once.

If Jamil had not been parachuted in by the Pope, then for his revenge on Hull this time, Qu Sai would have killed him openly.

After calming down, Qu Sai felt relieved that he had a subordinate like Hull.

At the same time, it was fortunate that I went to Hull this time, otherwise I would have been badly tricked by Jamil and Huidun at the first moment.

At the same time, he also confirmed that the old man Jamil was really interested in his position.

Then Qusai thought of the Pope who was far away in the Kermo Empire. Jamil had the courage to frame him. Did that mean that someone in the Church was dissatisfied with him?

When Qu Sai thought about these troubles, he felt very tired.

The church's grand plan has not yet been completed, and now there are factions and endless disputes within the church, while the Pope is adopting an indifferent attitude towards this.

He really didn't know when the ideal world of the unity of politics and religion described in the scriptures would be realized.

Qu Sai rubbed his brows, and then issued an order of reprimand in the name of the Cardinal of the Kingdom of Moss.

After all, the king did not directly criticize them this time. At least he praised Hull and others on the surface.

At the same time, it also secretly reminded Jamil to remember his mission and let go of some inappropriate thoughts for the sake of the church's cause.

In the blink of an eye, several days passed. At this time, Huidun was holding the development rights awarded to him by Moss XIII. To be honest, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart at this moment.

It can be said that with this development right, he has a formal reason to form his own power, and he also knows that this is a test from his father.

"Talent, what we need most now is talent."

Huidun murmured as he held the commendation order.

At this moment, Jamil looked at the reprimand order that turned into ashes in his hands and sneered.

This time he was careless and was tricked by Huidun.

But a temporary failure is nothing. Thinking about what the guy said to him when he left the General Church three years ago, Qu Sai, a guy who controls the church power in a place and refuses to obey the orders of the General Church, will die sooner or later.

"Smart Shield, do you really think I've lost this time? I will wait and see and find your weak spot."

When Sgert, who was behind him, saw Jamil's cold smile, he felt a chill on his back, because he knew that this was a sign that Jamil was really planning to deal with someone.

But thinking about how Jamil was imprisoned by Huidun and how he was later accused of such a dirty trick, Sgert knew that Jamil would not let Huidun and the others go.

At this time in Huidun College, Chen Cheng went to the library to read after class these days and no longer went to Huidun.

Instead, he took his little notebook and recalled the accounting method in the research institute in his previous life. After all, he had promised Tophis that he would give him a better accounting and checking method.

Chen Cheng's unusual behavior also attracted the attention of Finier and Acasto.

When they first saw the accounting method he wrote down, they were a little skeptical, but after reading it carefully, they felt that there were many good points in it.

These two people can be said to be upper-class people in this world. The higher education they received made them immediately think of the benefits of this accounting method.

Before the fat boy Acasto could ask for it, Finier had already blinded him with a low-level magic.

"This is a secret, Fatty. You'd better not look at it with your little eyes."

When Acasto saw the scenery in front of him blur, he knew that Finelle had used magic to block his vision.

The little fat man is now quite speechless. He thinks Chen Cheng is still easy to fool.

But ever since Finier learned about Chen Cheng's cooperation with Huidun and Brusto, Finier began to pay attention to Chen Cheng's affairs outside of magic.

Because to be honest, Chen Cheng's official identity is still a slave of their Kekeber family, and he represents Baron Kekeber.

Although their family has been tied to Huidun for a long time, sometimes the things made by Chen Cheng, a guy who doesn't know the world, are stolen by others, and then their Kekeber family will also be implicated.

"Miss, you are amazing. You have learned the magic trick that teacher Isabel taught you just yesterday so quickly."

The fat boy was such a smart person. He knew that Finier had the temper of a spoiled young lady and liked to hear people say nice things about her, so he did not use excessive words of praise and just flattered Finier.

Chen Cheng put down his pen and waved his hand in front of his eyes. A small magic pattern appeared in his hand, and the next moment the illusion in front of the fat man was broken.

"Don't think that Uncle Brown is a fool, Fatty. This is a systematic accounting method. I guarantee that if we auction it off, it will be more than enough to sell for a million gold coins."

Although Chen Cheng's words were a bit arrogant, it was not impossible for it to be sold at a sky-high price of one million.

Compared to those visible precious goods, what is truly valuable is the invisible system that runs everything.

Although the accounting method he came up with could not completely eliminate false and disorderly accounts, he was confident that he could eliminate false and disorderly accounts in the first few years.

This is a rare treasure in the management system for families and chambers of commerce with large income and expenditure.
