    Chapter 564 [Companion]

    In fact, before this, the huge territory occupied by the Northern Army included land of several counties. In this area, there is actually no such thing as “local government affairs”.

    Since the invasion of the Odin people, the war began, and then the northern army group rose in the war, actually controlling the northern land of the Byzantine empire, first claiming to be the northern theater, and later through Shaar's Imperial Capital, and the delegation officially called the "Northern Defender." Area".

    However, whether it is in the previous northern theater or in the later defending district, this land has no such thing as "local government affairs."

    The entire territory controlled by the Northern Army has always carried out a mixed ruling model similar to military and political integration. The Northern Army, a group here, is equivalent to an army-style government that rules the land with a militarized model.

    Or more directly, before this, the entire area occupied by the Northern Army, the real operation of local government affairs, the local taxation, the financial and many other real powers, is actually another person: the logistics chief of the Northern Army, nickname "smuggling Trafficker's Kato.

    Yes, the logistics headquarters actually took over all the local government affairs in the entire Northern Army-controlled area: finance, taxation, local labor, expropriation and distribution of supplies, and so on. After the original Byzantine Empire local government was smashed by the Odin people, after the Northern Army recovered, it did not re-establish the local administrative government, but simply replaced it with the army.

    The black clouds of the previous war have not yet dispersed. The entire northern army, both inside and outside, is governing the areas under their control in the spirit of "all for the war, all for the military." Local finances are basically levied directly by the military's logistics headquarters. All fiscal revenues are directly managed and distributed by the Commander-in-Chief Department of the Northern Army. There is no such thing as the existence of local governments.

    Financial taxes, all financial resources and resources, all materials must be uniformly deployed by the military.

    It can even be said that before this, the logistics headquarters was actually the real "government department" of the territory occupied by the Northern Army. Kato's logistics chief actually has a considerable part of the time and also manages the local government and finance of several counties.

    Green is the army, Kato Sir is taxed, this is the real distribution of the two major rights within the Northern Army.

    As for Sophie…This chief of staff actually played an aide-in-law.

    However, the situation has changed now.

    The four military regions in the north have been settled. It can be said that this war has played the prestige and domineering of the Northern Army, making the Northern Army a full-fledged force for the entire Byzantine Empire. Under such circumstances, the dark clouds of the temporary war seem to be able to disperse, and the Northern Army also urgently needs a period of steady development to integrate and digest the vast territory swallowed.

    At this time, it is obviously no longer appropriate to continue to use such a "military management" model to control such a large and large population.

    In any case, military management is definitely not a long-term solution, and even from the perspective of the rights structure, long-term replacement of local government with the military, mixed government affairs and military affairs, is not a good choice.

    And Sophie’s program for Shaar’s development has long suggested that if the military continues to manage local government affairs, and the local taxation finances and other rights are all in the hands of the military, then for a long time, I’m afraid there is still hidden. The danger exists! There is no doubt that the "military government" is definitely not a healthy existence. In the long run, it will raise a group with a deformed right!

    Shaar also fully agrees with his own chief of staff, and in the case of hillbilly, the army is still purely better.

    Therefore, the re-segmentation of rights has become a necessary step in the reform of government affairs.

    Establishing a group to manage local government affairs and separating these rights from the hands of the military is also the first program of Sufi for government affairs.

    The pile of officials sent by Imperial Capital also gave Shaar an excuse to reform the government.

    Of course, the northern army up and down, has long been used to the implementation of the so-called "military control", used to all the rights are under the command of the army, such as military spending, here in the northern military, is directly from the logistics headquarters to collect local financial tax revenue, and then directly into the military expenditure-and if other places to spend money Instead, it will be withdrawn from the budget of the General Logistics Headquarters.

    And now hastily suddenly carried out the division of Rights, will certainly let the military accustomed to control everything to give birth to some dissatisfaction-this is easy to understand, this dissatisfaction and shaar loyalty has nothing to do, just no matter who, used to the power, used to reach out can take money, suddenly turned into a pile of procedures, people stuck to the neck, Anyone will unbearable.

    However, Shaar is determined to innovate.

    Just because of Sophie’s words.

    "If Lord doesn't mind turning the Northern Army into a warlord group, then it's better to keep the status quo."

※※※

    In order to alleviate the military's dissatisfaction with the loss of rights, Shaar has given the military some compensation in advance.

    For example, in order to deal with the officials assigned by Imperial Capital, the military has already inspected all the local taxation warehouses in advance under the connivance of Shaar, and all the materials and taxes have been transported to the logistics headquarters. This is equivalent to Shaar giving the military a little sweetness and compensation.

    Then, he will start with a new ruling team headed by Sophie to take charge of government affairs in various places on his own site.

    In the future, government affairs and military affairs must be strictly separated!

    However, it is not so easy to let the party in power suddenly give up the power in hand.

    The question raised by Sophie is precisely the most sensitive topic at the moment!

    If the army is still habitually intervening in local government affairs, what should be done?

    As a rising north, it seems that the military head of Shaar can rise in the north. The army is the foundation of all his career and his capital.

    If the military continues to habitually intervene in local military affairs, or when it causes some internal contradictions, Sophie is not sure who Shaar is the highest leader. I am afraid that at the time, in order to stabilize the military, Shaar will probably make some compromises or tolerance for the army.

    This is not Sophie's no-guess speculation.

    In the process of gradually implementing the separation of government affairs during these days, Sufi, who has implemented this plan, has already discovered some dangerous signs.

    In some places, the military seems to be accustomed to taking charge of everything, using the military order of the logistics headquarters method to levy local taxes, and then directly categorizing the wealth as military expenditures – even where the local construction or other places need money, but it is difficult I have to pay more money from the military.

    In other places, when Sufi sent people to clear the local fiscal warehouse, they encountered the rejection of the military. In the eyes of these military leaders, the military and political powers are now grasped by one hand, and there is nothing in their hearts. The difference between local finance and military military spending, in their view, everything belongs to the military, and local fiscal taxes should be owned by the military. Want to check the account? Joke

    These dangerous signs, though being shattered in Shaar’s harsh military order. But it's hard to keep a similar situation.

    If, afterwards, when they were integrating local government affairs, there would be another army to send people to tax, or to collect materials. At that time, is the public listening to local government affairs or listening to the military?

    Looking at Sophie and Green, they look different, especially Green, and their faces seem a little ugly – the old Mad Dog is very complicated at the moment.

    On the one hand, he agrees with Sophie's point of view and continues to use the military to take charge of all powers. Sooner or later, the group of the Northern Army will be transformed into a warlord group.

    But on the other hand, Commander-in-Chief, the No. 2 of the Northern Army, is also the number one deputy of Shaar’s military affairs. He must also consider the internal will of the military. Sudden loss of power will inevitably lead to dissatisfaction. How to balance all aspects of the relationship will especially cause him a headache.

    However, he is not good at expressing casual opinions on this matter: if he is biased towards the military, it will inevitably lead to suspicion, and he believes that he deliberately pleases the army and even has the suspicion of buying the military's own weight.

    If he is biased towards Sofi's new policy, then many people in the army will be so cold that he is disregarding the interests of the military.

    And Sophie clearly understands Green's concerns and does not force the military general steward to express his position.

    "The established strategy remains the same."Shaar finally gave Sophie the answer: "Military government must be separated and not delayed!"

    Said, he looked at Green, and then sighed softly, slowly said: "Green, in fact, I have thought about these days, our Northern Army, the days are too happy. It can be said that the entire Byzantine empire is afraid that no army has ever lived better than our Northern Army. Elsewhere, whether it is the Central Capital Capital or the large warlords, the military's military and ordnance materials must be approved by the government, and then the budget of the financial department, and finally distributed to the military. Let's do a good job here. The army directly opened up all the others. Whatever they need, they will directly levy anything. All local construction will give way to the army. This kind of day is naturally cool, but it is too dangerous. On such a comfortable day, I will continue to do so. I am afraid that some people do not know who they are. ”

    "With this person, I am relieved a lot."Sophie deliberately sighed and slowly laughed: "After the separation of government affairs, military spending is no longer directly controlled by the military, but instead is based on a normalized budget system and appropriation system. In addition, the fiscal revenue is always so much, even if our fiscal revenue will gradually increase gradually, but after the implementation of the New Deal, the local needs to be built and developed, then the fiscal revenue will leave a considerable part for local use, The part left to the military budget is naturally much less than it used to be, and when…"

    "The Commander-in-Chief department will naturally worry about this issue."Shaar waved his hand, but there was a flash of disgrace in his eyes: "In any case, the army must not intervene in government affairs. The military must be budgeted by the logistics headquarters and then submitted to the Commander-in-Chief Department for approval before allocating funds from the revenue. You can't just reach out and collect as much as you want before. In the future, we always have to make a look, um…Green has a timeline and must cancel all 'military tubes' within a month! ”

    Green is right now.

    No problemShaar’s face reappeared with a smile, and slowly said: “Since things are negotiated, it’s up to two to implement. As for me, I am going back to Imperial Capital…"

    Shaar only told the two that they had important things to go to Imperial Capital – he naturally didn't dare to say that he was going to the Sacred City Babylon. To know that Sacred City is in the chaos, the road is far away, thousands of miles. And from the Byzantine Empire to sacred City, it must pass through the hinterland of the chaos, the place of chaos, the existence of various races, the vast forest ocean there are countless demon beast, as well as Elf race, Dwarf, Giants and other legendary Race, and these races all have one characteristic, that is, the attitude towards human beings is not very friendly.

    All, going to Sabred City, Babylon, from the point of view of people, is a long way and with considerable risks.

    Shaar has already caused Green dissatisfaction to go out. If he tells Old Mad Dog that he is going to such a faraway and dangerous place, can Mad Dog agree to go to risk?

“……I am back to Imperial Capital this time, from one month to three months. ”When Shaar said it, he noticed that Sophie’s eyes seemed to hide a hint of taunting, as if this clever girl had already seen through her nonsense, and could not help but feel the temptation to speed up the road: “Home The matter, the military Green is decided by one person, and the government Sufi decides! If there are any major things, the two of you will work together. ”

    "I have a request."Sophie suddenly spoke.

    "Yeah?"

    "You are the Chief of the Northern Army, Lord. You are not there. If there is anything important, I have different opinions with Green. If the two of them are holding each other and deliberating, isn’t that bad?"Sophie shook her head. "So, I asked Lord to leave a person to arbitrate. If I disagreed with Green Lord, whoever I listened to would be decided by the arbitrator."

    "The person who arbitrate? Who is going to take this role? ”Shaar frowned.

    Green also nodded: "It's a good idea. If I have a dispute with the chief of staff, Lord, it really needs an arbitration. As for the candidate…I think that Kato Lord, the chief logistics officer, can trust that Kato Lord has been in charge of logistics for a long time. He has always been in charge of government affairs, and he is more loyal to Lord. He is also a smart and savvy person. ”

    Sophie immediately shook his head: "Kato Lord is not suitable, Kato is smart and capable, but he is a man in the army, and the military is under the Green Lord. If he is an arbitrator, he is afraid that he will not dismiss the Green Lord. Decision, hēi hēi ……"

    Green snorted: "Well, then let Rheinhardt take on this role. Rheinhardt is straightforward and decisive, and he is very principled in doing things. He has always been impartial, and will never favor me because it is my subordinates. ”

    "Rheinhardt can't do it either."Sophie shook his head again and said: "He is also a military man. Even though Rheinhardt has always been impartial, it is inevitable that the subconscious will still stand on the military's position to do things. ”

    "H, Kato can't, Rheinhardt doesn't work either, then who are you looking for?"Green is a little dissatisfied, cold and cold: "Just look for someone from your Sufi Lord's side, then it will help you talk about everything."

    Sophie was not annoyed, smiled lightly: "I said that if I said that, naturally I would not find someone to favor me. It is only this candidate, whether it is the military or the people here, it will be unfair. I have a wonderful candidate. This person is not an army person, nor a government official. The identity of this person is even more convincing. As an arbitrator, no one will object, it is the best candidate. ”

    “Who…Who is that?”Green looked at Sophie.

    Sophie deliberately blinked and smiled: "Lord is not just married?" Then, Adeline is our Duchess, and now is the identity of our mother of the entire Northern Army! In the days when Lord went out, if we had any disagreement, please ask the mother to come to the arbitration to preside over the overall situation, and everyone will be convinced. ”

    Green is a glimpse of this candidate, but he thought about it and thought that Sophie said it makes sense. Adeline is now Shaar's wife, and that is the righteous mother. She came forward to arbitrate, and it is indeed a candidate who can make both up and down.

    “Adeline has not dealt with these things.”Shaar shook his head.

    "The lady does not have these experiences, but don't forget Mrs. Yulia. Mrs. Yulia is smart and capable of dealing with financial matters. ”Sophie seems to have bitten it. Be sure to let Shaar his wife to the front desk: "When necessary, please Yulia Mrs. Ma as Counsellor one or two, as for the master Lord, only need to be a symbolic arbiter, after all, if you are not at home, except the Master mother, Really can't find a second person who can make everyone in every aspect of it. ”

    Seeing that Sophie insisted, and Green agreed, Shaar had to nod.

    After the three people negotiated, the sky was already bright.

    Last night's wedding banquet, guests were happy, most of them were drunk, and most people on the second day were afraid that they would still be hangover on the bed.

    Inside and outside Denzel City, there is still a festive atmosphere. Yesterday's celebrations, the city's celebrations, and the prohibition of alcohol release have not been many days. In the morning, many streets inside and outside Denzel City are still floating after the night drinking. Fragrant, the street can also see drunken walking people.

    Only the city patrol patrols are still strictly inspected in accordance with military orders.

    At noon, Shaar personally met many guests who came to congratulate him. After the ceremony, they sent people to leave, and they took time to meet representatives of several officials from Imperial Capital. After a while, I have done enough work.

    Then he secretly summoned several important subordinates, Kato, Sabar, and Rheinhardt. This is what I have to say.

    But the most difficult one is facing the pitiful creature of his new wife.

    On the first day of the wedding, I am going to leave home. This is a matter of no matter who is afraid of it.

    Adeline is naturally reluctant. After all, she is just a young woman. She just married her favorite man. She has never really enjoyed the sweetness of her wedding. Her husband will go out and be unhappy.

    Shaar was soothing and soothing. He finally used Adeline to show his face slightly. Of course, he did not dare to tell his wife that he really went. He only said that he went outside to inspect the military defense, and then told him that he was not at home. Adeline plays the role of master and arbitrator.

    In the evening, Shaar naturally had a good warmth with his new wife. On the second morning, he got up early, and the men sent the horses and the things they needed to go out, and then took several chamberlain. Servant, this is leaving.

    No one in the city knows that the Commander-in-Chief has quietly left, and no one even knows where Lord Shaar really goes.

    Although Shaar brought some guards and servants with him, these people only followed him from Denzel City and rode along the way to the new city. He was assigned a so-called "secret mission" to send all the people around him. Shaar quietly left the new city and went east.

    It was only Shaar who went out of the new city to the east, but only after a few miles, looking at the fork in front, one direction to the south is the road to Imperial Capital, and one direction is to the east to Corsica.

    At this fork, there was another person who stood at the fork early and waited quietly for Shaar's arrival.

    Far away, Shaar couldn't help but smile when he saw the figure in black and the triangular war spear.

    "Hey, slowly, I will wait for you for two days. I thought you should have arrived the day before, but I didn't expect you to be so slow."

    Hasting's voice was cold and a bit dissatisfied.

    How come you are here?Shaar rolled over and looked at Hasting, frowning: "Is it?" Seeing you look like you have to go far? ”

    "Crap, you have to go to Babylon…Hey, have you played St. Roland Garros? ”Hasting sneered.

    "I can't beat, can you beat it?"Shaar made a haha, and immediately said: "Do you really want to go to Sacred City with me?"

    "I naturally have my reasons."Hasting looks cold.

    “Ha!Shaar couldn't help but say, "I know, you are listening to the woman who said that there is a way to solve the elf race on you, what is poisonous, right?"

“……”Hasting stopped talking this time, just staring at Shaar.

    "Hey, this guy is cold, talking and not interesting, how do you think I will promise to go on the road with you?"Shaar grinned.

    Hasting smiled, and this time, in a word, Shaar completely closed his mouth.

    "Little Shaar, do you know the way to Sacred City? Hum
