Different World Development Manual - Chapter 176

[Chapter 4 Open the door, check the water meter]

The Treasurer of Andrews, Monte Carlo, a middle-aged man who looks very simple and honest, is looking through the latest issue of the “Dehebas Daily” in the mansion of Andrews.

Sitting on a rocking chair made in China bought from a businessman, crunching, commenting on current affairs.

And his wife is cooking in the kitchen.

With the arrival of the Chinese people, the Chinese customs gradually spread in.

In the eyes of Chinese people, a wife who cooks by herself is often the capital to show off at parties.

Whenever he meets someone, he says, “My wife cooks.”

With a simple sentence, it reflects a man’s status at home.

As for whether this is the case or not, that is another matter.

Monte Carlo’s wife recently signed up for a study class. Of course, it’s not a military class that pays special study (shu) fees (jin), but a cooking class that pays gold coins.

Sichuan, Shandong, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Xianghui, eight major Chinese cuisines, as well as various other strange and strange cuisines, various cooking disciplines.

Naturally, Monte Carlo’s wife could not finish all the lessons, so she learned a Sichuan dish.

Spicy, for the Panda people, or for the people of the whole flat world, are extraordinarily delicious.

Don’t you see the beasts are obsessed with the hot pot base.

Of course, a tax chief such as Monte Carlo is in charge of the entire Anriburg’s tax affairs. It is impossible for a person of this status to have no servants at home.

However, it is strange to say that Monte Carlo, as the tax chief, should be very rich, but he is very poor.

He lives in a two-story mansion in Anri Fort, which is on the same level as most merchants.

The domestic servants are also a maid and a housekeeper.

In the eyes of outsiders, in the position of Monte Carlo, if you are greedy, it will be a mansion, but Monte Carlo is not like this. Incredibly clean.

The maids are helping the lady prepare the dishes. Although the noble ladies have become popular in cooking, even if they go to the school, their level is not complimented.

The maids naturally wouldn’t say anything, and could only deal with all kinds of mistakes for the lady in silence, so as not to cook a dark dish and poison Master Monte Carlo to death.

“Knock-knock-knock!”

With the sound of a hurried knock on the door, Monte Carlo’s thoughts immersed in current political news were interrupted, he frowned and asked, “Who is it?”

“Father, I School is over! Forgot to bring the key!”

The voice of his 6-year-old son came from outside the door. Monte Carlo shook his head, pursed his lips, motioned for the housekeeper to open the door, and continued to bury his head, shaking his rocking chair to read the newspaper.

After the son entered the door, he threw the schoolbag on his back, sniffed the smell of the kitchen and searched for it directly: “Mother, what are you doing?”

Monte Carlo’s wife wiped her greasy hands, then scratched The son’s nose smiled mysteriously: “Dangdangdang, Mapo tofu.” The

son’s eyes flashed with golden light, and he cheered: “Oh my God, it’s Mapo tofu!!” The

mapo tofu in Sichuan cuisine, the Monte Carlo family I ate it in a newly opened Sichuan restaurant in the city recently. The taste makes people linger and want to stop.

The wife continued to ask, “What did you learn at school today?” The

son smiled and said,

“Ah, uh, huh, huh, huh, and of course it’s still pinyin.”

At Guan Lin’s suggestion The Duchy of Dehebas also began to offer compulsory education.

Children over the age of 6 must unconditionally receive a 6-year compulsory education and complete primary school education.

An Rui or his words and deeds did not set up the school for charity. First of all, the school was taught entirely in Chinese, and it also taught addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and various Chinese texts as well as ideology and morality.

As for the others, words and deeds did not intend to list it as one of the school’s teaching courses.

The son told his wife about his fresh school life, and the wife also introduced his cooking experience to his son. The two talked about one or the other, and the kitchen was suddenly full of laughter.

“Knock knock knock!”

However, a series of knocks disturbed Monte Carlo again.

The son is back, who will knock on the door.

After closing the newspaper, Monte Carlo said dissatisfiedly: “Who is it?” The person outside the door shouted: “Mr.

Taxmaster

, please open the door, I am checking the water meter.”

“Water meter?”

The tax collector of the duchy is an existence with a higher status.

With the arrival of Chinese people, the proposed tap water system also began to be built one after another in the city of Anrui Fort.

The well water is simply filtered, then passed through the water pipe, and flows out from the faucet installed in the house.

Convenient, fast and clean.

This is the set of tap water system.

However, there are not many people who install this system, most of them are the wealthy class in the city of Anribao.

Although Monte Carlo’s family is not particularly wealthy, Monte Carlo still managed to find a way.

The butler

stood beside Monte Carlo’s rocking chair, wondering, “Didn’t you just check the water meter last week, and it came so quickly?”

.

The butler nodded and walked up.

The door opened with a “click”, only to see a black muzzle pressed against his forehead.

The man was wearing the uniform of the Anriburg Police Station, opened his mouth and said, “Hey, back up.” With

a musket pointed at his head, who would dare to move?

The housekeeper was pushed back into the house by the policeman, and several policemen outside the door rushed in one after another with flintlock guns.

They raised their guns and aimed the muzzle at Monte Carlo on the rocking chair.

Monte Carlo was stunned for a moment, and said in amazement: “Wait, aren’t you checking the water meter?”

One of the policemen tilted his head and said to his subordinate, “Go and look at the water meter outside.

” Yes!”

After saying that, the little policeman carried his flintlock gun and went to find the water meter.

“That’s right, we’re checking the water meter.”

Monte Carlo took a deep breath. These police officers are not good people.

The maid in the house suddenly screamed, and the harsh sound cut through the sky.

Monte Carlo’s wife took her son in her arms, looked at the police with a look of fear, and asked, “You… what are you doing?”

The policeman in the lead took out a document from his waist. , which is the arrest warrant of the Anriburg Police Department, opened his mouth and said: “The suspect Monte Carlo, suspects that you are involved in gun smuggling and the rebellion that overthrew the Duke of Dehbas, so you are arrested.

You have the right to Keep silent, but every word you say is evidence in court.

This is an arrest warrant, arrest immediately!”

Monte Carlo’s eyes suddenly widened, and Monte Carlo’s wife was heartbroken. Roaring: “What are you guys doing!? Monte Carlo is the tax chief of Anribao!! He is an honest official! You can’t treat him like this!

He has done deeds for De Hebas, and he has served the duke. I want to see the duke! I want to see the duke!”

However, the inspector snorted coldly: “Is he the clearest official, take it away!”

Monte Carlo shouted in his heart

Not good, immediately pulled out a flintlock pistol, and was ready to fire at the police.

However, the policeman at the head was quick-witted, pulled out the Tang knife from his waist, and cut off Monte Carlo’s hand with a single knife.

“啊啊啊啊啊啊啊！”

蒙地卡罗“噗通”一声跪倒在地上，惨叫着。

The policeman at the head said disdainfully

: “An innocent official? An innocent official dare not accept the investigation. He even attacked the police officers and took them away!”

Accounts, embezzled a lot of taxes.

Although the place of these taxes was not his personal belt, but most of them were handed over to the nobles and officials in the Duchy of Dehebas who resisted An Rui’s rule.

As the Pandaren who smuggled water guns were caught on the spot, the evidence of this reactionary network that had been controlled by Guan Lin and Ah Li was solid.

The names of the nobles and officials who were written down in the notebooks by the two women also confirmed their crimes at this moment.

Like guys like Monte Carlo, the police throughout the Duchy of De Hebas launched an arrest operation code-named “Sword Unsheathed” against these reactionaries.

In one fell swoop, all the reactionary dukes and administrators in the Duchy of Dehebas were arrested, and even those who were loyal to the emperor instead of An Rui suffered.

After the staff of the Time and Space Administration became familiar with the government affairs in the Duchy of Dehebas at the grassroots level, this large-scale arrest operation swept away the middle and upper management of the Duchy of Dehebas. obstacles.

Now the entire Duchy of Dehebas has undergone a major blood change, and the superstructure will be completely controlled by the staff of the Time and Space Administration.

At the same time, the nobles listed by the two women Guan Lin and Ali were convicted of various crimes, and An Rui also began to send his troops to those vassal territories under his control to take back their noble titles by force.

The vassals of the vassals are not my vassals. With An Rui’s righteous name and clear evidence, the Emperor Norman has no right to interfere with An Rui’s legal actions against his vassals.
