Chapter 225 Chapter 197 How to Swallow, How to Spit! (Down)

Bohan shook his head: "Your Excellency is joking, the warehouses in Desa Province are still stocked, and the food is more than three months old." Du Wei sighed: "Since this is the case, I won't talk about the past. Since the income in the summer season is 210,000 gold coins, then I ask you to explain why I only have 190,000 gold coins left in the warehouse?" Bohan's tone was astringent: "Daily expenses, there are always expenses!" "Nonsense!" Du Wei suddenly became angry. He slapped the table hard and stood up abruptly: "Governor Bohan! You really think I'm a child who doesn't understand anything! The financial management of the empire, there is a report at the beginning of the quarter." Budget, summer income should be used for autumn! Now that summer has not passed yet, you have spent this season’s finances?! Hmph! Is this the same for the Nulin Province you govern!!”

Bohan was taken aback. Du Wei suddenly took out a book from his bosom, threw it in front of Bohan, and said coldly: "I have traveled all the way, and the four cities in Nulin Province that I have passed, the summer finances of these four cities have not yet been paid. I'll hand it over to you! Governor Bohan! Your summer income from Nulin province is still unused, so why did I spend my Desa province first?!" Bohan blushed. He really couldn't answer Du Wei's accusation. As early as a few months ago, news came from the imperial capital that after the Desa province was designated as Du Wei's territory, the governor of Bohan was very dissatisfied.He is a master of financial management and a capable minister of the empire governing the Northwest, but it does not mean that he is a good old man without ambition.In his heart, he devoted himself to the Northwest. Originally, his subordinates owned territories in two provinces. Suddenly, an order was sent to allocate half of the territory. Naturally, he was extremely annoyed.

He simply kept doing nothing, and squeezed out all the financial revenue of the Desa Province in the past few months. His warehouse in the Nulin Province was full, and he was using the money and food of the Desa Province for the past few months. Come and maintain your own territory. When Du Wei came, what he faced was the almost empty Desa province! At that time, let's see what this kid with no money or food can do in the northwest!As long as he can't do it anymore, the Desa province will still be in his Bohan's hands sooner or later! Now that Du Wei has explained what he said, Bohan stopped pretending, and he said bravely, "My lord, what exactly do you want?"

Du Wei suddenly suppressed all his anger, and smiled lightly: "It's not good. You spend the summer money and food for me first, and that's fine. But the warehouse in a dignified province is actually empty... Governor Bohan , since you can't give me a reasonable explanation, then I can only report to the Imperial Finance Office and the Supervisory Office." After finishing speaking, Du Wei suddenly stood up, turned around and walked outside, when he reached the door, he stopped suddenly, looked back at Bohan, and said lightly: "By the way, Governor, by the way, I'm actually I have been to the inner prison of the Supervision Bureau, and the conditions are very good."

These words made Bohan's face extremely gloomy.He was extremely annoyed, but he didn't take Du Wei's threat to heart at all. Although Du Wei is in the imperial capital, this is the northwest after all!Bohan has been operating in the Northwest for many years, so he naturally has authority. He firmly believes that the empire needs him to govern the Northwest, and the Northwest cannot do without him.Besides, Bohan was able to gain a foothold in the Northwest, and he did not have a backer behind him! Moreover, from Bohan's point of view, after all, he has been in the northwest for many years, far away from the imperial capital, and he does not have a very detailed understanding of the situation in the imperial capital.He also only roughly knew that the young duke had made great contributions in the coup, which was why he was appreciated by Prince Chen.

In his heart, the evaluation of Du Wei is nothing more than the young favorite of a young prince!Want to win a prince like yourself?joke! Walking out of Bohan's room, Philip, who was waiting at the door, hurriedly followed behind Du Wei. The young man heard the conversation inside, and couldn't help feeling worried, and said in a low voice: "My lord, let's talk to Governor Bohan now." Turn your face, I'm afraid..." Du Wei didn't speak, but Longbottom next to him smiled and said, "Boy, you don't understand. This place in the northwest is different from the south. The hypocrisy of the south doesn't work here. In this place, if you take a step back, others will enter." Two steps! As soon as you show weakness, others dare to ride on your head! If the Duke was a little weaker just now, I am afraid that Governor Bohan has done a more thorough job. Let alone 190,000 gold coins, there will be no hair Will stay with us."

Philip listened, thoughtful, and nodded. But Du Wei said to himself leisurely: "I'm not angry, I just acted for that guy just now. But I saw this Bohan today... well, I'm really disappointed. This guy, his ability should be Yes, but you are too narrow-minded. I have already been regarded as an enemy before I came to the northwest. Hmph, do you want to give me a blow? Let's see who has the last laugh." Then Du Wei smiled wryly: "I didn't expect to come to the northwest, I didn't meet the Northwest Army, I didn't meet those barbarians, but I did it with the governor of the empire first."

"This... my lord, do you really want to report to the Imperial Finance Office and the Supervision Office?" Philip asked cautiously. After all, in the heart of this young man, he still admires Governor Bohan's political achievements in the Northwest. "Report! Of course I will report." Du Wei said lightly: "If I don't do anything, he will really think that I am afraid of him. But I also know that there is not much use in reporting. The regent is not a fool, and he will not be here. What to do with Bohan at this time, although this Bohan is not a very good character, he still has skills. The empire is counting on him to govern the Northwest. But if you make a fuss, it’s good to cause him some trouble.”

Philip was taken aback: "That's it?" In his opinion, such an approach is too childish.Typical detrimental to others.Although he is a rookie in the political arena, he also knows that this kind of approach is really naive. "This is just the first step." Du Wei patiently explained to the young man he was optimistic about: "It's just a gesture to let Bohan understand that we are not easy to bully. Naturally, I have other ways to let This Bohan succumbed... Huh, he swallowed up my whole province's treasury! How did I want him to swallow it, and how to spit it out for me!"

... Since there is no speculation with Governor Bohan, Du Wei has nothing to stay in Mulan City.After replenishing the convoy's supplies and drinking water, we set off for Desa province that day. Finally, a few days later, the convoy entered the territory of Desa Province.Looking at the desolate land, Philip next to Du Wei shook his head again and again: "Oh, no wonder such a place is called the most barren area in the empire." Looking around, it is full of loess, and even those villages and towns are sparsely populated and look half-dead.After walking for two days, I came to the first small city.But the status quo made Du Wei very annoyed!

This governor of Bohan is really thorough!Those officials who were waiting for the delivery were obviously from Bohan's faction, and the sealed warehouse was empty. These people looked very respectful to Du Wei on the surface, but after delivering all the accounts, they seemed unwilling to even stay for a moment, and they moved as quickly as possible. leave. Du Wei was too lazy to waste his saliva with these guys.The 80 disciples of the Lan Hai Sect who had been brought along began to take over the local government affairs. In this way, the forward speed of Du Wei and his party was greatly slowed down.Fortunately, Governor Bohan's behavior simplifies the delivery procedure: of course, what is left is an empty site anyway, with scarce money and food, and there is nothing to deliver. After traveling for fifteen days in Desa Province, Du Wei finally came to the capital city of Desa Province: Giliar City. The city of Giliar is located in the northern part of the Desa Province, with its back against the Kilimaro Mountains. In the city, you can see the tall and majestic Mule Mountains in the distance like a long dragon lying on the ground, endless. When the convoy entered the city of Gilliar, the last remaining officials in the city had already come out to greet them. Du Wei didn't bother to be courteous to these Bohan people, so he took them directly to the warehouse in the capital to check. Sure enough, there are still some stocks in the capital's warehouse, which are the same as the data obtained from Bohan that day. In the warehouse of a majestic province, there are only a thousand weapons and equipment, and only enough food for one season. Gold coins... 190,000? But Du Wei is not short of money now.His business in the imperial capital has earned him a lot of wealth, and... the United Kingdom of Southeast Asia, there will be a whole fleet of wealth waiting for him. The dilapidation of Gilliar City is in sharp contrast to Bohan's Mulan City.This majestic capital city has a total population of only 80,000.The city wall was even more dilapidated. Du Wei even suspected that the city wall had never been repaired since the war more than 20 years ago. In fact, it is true. And the city is also very small, the total length of the city wall is less than ten miles... Such a small place is really inconsistent with the status of the capital of a province. "My lord, I think we should repair this city wall." Longbottom took a look and frowned, "This kind of dilapidated city wall will not have much defensive effect if there are any gang of horse thieves or enemies coming to attack it." .” Indeed, a wall on the south side has collapsed and been torn apart. As long as there is an enemy attack, they can charge up the city wall directly from the collapsed slope with just one charge. "Repair?" Du Wei curled his lips: "Such a rotten city wall is not worth repairing. It's better to rebuild a big city!"
