Chapter 1972 (2/2)
Du Wei then smiled wryly: “I didn’t expect when I come to the Northwest the first one to head-butt with overnor and not the Northwestern Army”
“This … … Sir, are you really going to report this to the financial Department and the Inspectorate of the Empire?” Phillip asked cautiously, after all, in the heart of the young man, he still retains his admiration towards this Bohan of the Northwest
“Report! Of course I will report hi, he will really think I’m afraid of hient is not a fool so he won’t take any actions just for ood, but his skills are there and the empire still needs him to deal with the Northwestern Arive him some trouble”
Philip was stunned: “that’s it?”
Although he is still a novice in the political world, Philip’s take on Du Wei’s move is childish and i?
“This is only the first step” Du Wei patiently explains to the proesture so Bohan understands that we cannot be bullied I have some other methods to make Bohan yield … … Humph, you dare s my entire coffer eh?! Whatever way you sed it will be whatever way you will spit it back out!”
Since he’s not seeing eye to eye with Bohan anyways, there’s no long any reason to stay Once resupplied, Du Wei and his party immediately left for the Desa Province that very day
After a few days of travel on the road, the team finally entered the pre the desolate land around, Philip could only shake his head in disappointh, it’s no wonder this place is known as the eion”
As for as the eye can see, the only round and even the villages they ca like this for two days, they finally cah small in size, it should have been a joyous occasion, but Du Wei was soon infuriated by the situation!
This Governor Bohan sure is thorough because there wasn’t even a penny left in the city’s coffer! On the surface, these city officials were extre over their position, these bastards didn’t even waste a second to take their leave
He was still angry, but Du Wei didn’t want to waste anyin the 80 scholars fro over the posts in the local government
This way around, Du Wei’s speed of nificantly hindered However, there was an upside to it all Because of Bohan’sthe coffer prior to their departure, the whole process of taking over became a whole lot easier without the involvement of money
Going about this for 15 days, Du Wei finally arrived at the capital of the Desa Province, Anglia City
Anglia City is located at the Northwestern part of the province Backed by the Kilie, one didn’t need to look far to see the endless dragon spine (Mountain) running through from the north to the south
When his convoy entered the city, the re officials also came out to receive thenored theht for the city coffer to confirm the contents inside
Sure enough, the capital’s treasury still had the reserve mentioned in Bohan’s report
A provincial treasury with only a thousand weapons and enough food for one season… And a total gold count of the saddening number of 190,000
Fortunate enough, Du Wei is not short onhi in frodom
Looking at Anglia’s city’s decrepit condition created a sharp contrasting effect when compared to Bohan’s Mulan City For a capital of a province, the city only nued that Du Wei suspected it was never renovated since the war froo!
The truth is, it is exactly like Du Wei speculated
Also, the city preth of 10 li, the city wall really didn’t match up to a province’s capital
(1 li = 500 meter)
“Your honor, I feel we ought to give the wall a good repair” Longbottom only needed one look to make him frown: “This sort of beaten wall really won’t be ”
Indeed, a southern section of the wall had already collapsed As long as there is an eneive the final push before the re rubble falls apart
“Fix?” Du Wei conteht: “Such a bad wall has no rander city!”
