Chapter 157 [Legendary Governor]

Chen Daolin was not really interested in the invitation of the Governor of Newhoven Province.

He had something to do today.

Last night, because everyone had a long separation, they had a happy drink and were drunk, and some things were ignored.

After getting up today, he had already figured out a few things to do.

The first thing to do is to meet Hooker and werewolf Chuck.

Both of them were seriously injured before. When they saw Hook at sea, the generous captain obviously had not healed his injuries. Moreover, because they forced their bodies to go out to sea to find themselves, the external injuries had not healed, and there was a vague trend of developing inward injuries. If they were not cured as soon as possible, they might leave behind future problems.

As for the werewolf Chuck, Chen Daolin had seen it once yesterday. Because of his special identity, the werewolf was not free in the Governor's Mansion. It was only because of Lodell's face that he allowed it to stay in a separate place in the backyard and was "attention". In the name of letting it cultivate quietly, it was actually because the guards here did not trust the alien races like werewolf, and even guards were set up on the periphery of Chuck's residence.

This made Chen Daolin very dissatisfied, but when he thought that this was a key place for the Governor's Office, he naturally had to be more careful, and it was not easy to blame others for blame.

Chuck's injuries were better than Captain Hook's, but there were still some shortcomings in the recovery.

Chen Daolin originally thought that he would have time today and go to the city of Shilok to find some medicine.

Although this is overseas in the East China Sea, it is also the capital of a province, and the harbor city is quite prosperous. The Magic Union has a branch base here. Chen Daolin plans to go to the Magic Union branch to try his luck to see if he can buy some magic potions, so as to match some magic potions. In addition to the two injuries healing, it is also suitable for future use.

But unexpectedly, the governor wanted to see him.

No matter how he said that he also lived in the Governor's Mansion, and Lodell sent a large number of ships to search for him, the Governor of Newhoven Province was also convenient for a large business, and it was reasonable for him to refuse other people's invitations.

After thinking about it, Chen Daolin nodded: It would be okay to thank him in person.

...

Follow the three young men and follow the guards to the front hall of the Governor's Mansion.

This Governor's Mansion covers a huge area... After all, Hirok City was established from scratch. During its inception, it was vast and sparsely populated, but there was no other place, but there was a lot of land at all. Therefore, the decoration of this Governor's Mansion was not luxurious, but it occupied an extremely vast area.

All the way to the front of the Governor's Mansion, officials at all levels who were constantly traveling, all looked curious when they saw the three. Some well-informed people knew that these three seemed to be private guests from the backyard of the Governor's Mansion, and they couldn't help but guess the identities of these three people.

In fact, Chen Daolin's identity is easier to guess. When an official with a little knowledgeable experience saw Chen Daolin's standard magician robe, he felt respectful. He stood at a distance and nodded to him.

Chen Daolin walked along the way, and many people saluted him, but it seemed that the two real nobles, Kaman and Luo Puppet, who were beside him, seemed to have become his followers.

Roman Fritz, now forty-nine years old, is actually his fifty birthday next month. This governor of Newhoven Province is an alien in the officialdom of the Roland Empire.

And his experience can be regarded as a big legend.

Fifteen years ago, Roman Fritz, who was less than thirty-five years old, was just a young official who had just emerged in the huge bureaucracy of the empire.

He came from a middle-class noble family in the eastern coastal areas of the empire, and his father was a hereditary baron.

Although he was the eldest son, Roman Fritz refused to stay in his hometown to inherit his family title very early, and became a manor who was full of food and was mediocre all day long.

He once said: I can't tolerate staying in that small place for the rest of my life. When I am a parasite supported by farmers, I only know how to live in my own manor every day, tease maids, drink fine wine, ride horses in my spare time, and hold a few banquets... Such a mediocre life is something I can never stand!

When he was sixteen, he left his hometown alone despite his strong opposition from his father and family. For this reason, the old baron even angrily claimed that he would cut off his father-son relationship with him and deprived him of his inheritance rights.

But Roman Fritz still insisted on his choice and went to the imperial capital, first signing up to study at the Imperial Military Academy.

There was a small episode at that time: the empire was surrounded by strong enemies in the north, especially the orc kingdom was eyeing it. The Imperial Military Academy has always been the world of the army. Even the emerging aerial military research is very popular.

But this Roman Fritz chose to study in the unpopular Naval Branch.

The Imperial Navy has actually been neglected for a long time, because although the South Ocean is vast and rich, there are no strong enemies in the South Ocean. The distant United Kingdom of the South Ocean is just a country alliance created by a group of indigenous tribes to resist the imperial exploitation. In fact, any ordinary squadron of the Empire can completely sweep the enemy when it goes to the South Ocean. The Empire has not had a war in the South Ocean for many years. The United Kingdom of the South Ocean completely surrenders to the Rolands and pays a large amount of wealth every year in order to seek peace and stability.

The empire's navy has been in a situation without opponents for a long time - no imperial monarch will support an ineffective army for a long time, especially a huge navy!

Therefore, the weight of the navy has been declining in the Imperial Army. The size of the army has also been reduced over the years.

But this Roman Fritz chose to join the Naval Branch to study.

It is said that he has excellent grades in the Naval Branch, and has once received the attention and expectations of the instructors and deans in the college, and is even considered a future naval star.

But unfortunately, three years later, Roman Fritz broke one leg by accident and became disabled!

After confirming that the body cannot heal, Roman Fritz had to be forced to withdraw from the Navy Officer sequence.

Roman Fritz was very disappointed at that time. He publicly pointed out: As a naval general, I only need to know how to command the battle by naval steering, and I don’t need to ride a horse and charge. Can a person with only one leg be competent for a good captain!!!

Unfortunately, his resentment was not recognized.

The young Roman Fritz was forced to interrupt his dream of a famous naval general.

Later, he followed two famous scholars at the time to study, and officially entered the official career at the age of 22. At the beginning, those who had served in the imperial capital even worked as clerks in the logistics department of the Imperial Military Department. After working for three years, he slowly promoted from a low-level civil service. When he was twenty-five, he finally got the opportunity during a regular military spring exercise in the empire!

At that time, Roman Fritz was transferred to the southern part of the Empire to coordinate the logistics supply work required for the spring exercises of the garrison troops of the two southern provinces! Perhaps God couldn't bear to see such an outstanding talent buried. During the spring exercise that year, a big figure in the Empire actually went to the south to inspect the exercises of the army. As a result, he praised the logistics work. Roman Fritz was indeed quite talented and did the logistics supply work well, and his work efficiency was far beyond other regions.

Because of this incident, he finally made his mark and was attracted by the big man. Soon after, a letter of recommendation was sent to the desk of the then Minister of Military Affairs of the Empire.

It is worth mentioning that the Imperial Military Minister at that time was the previous generation... Duke of Tulip!

Roman Fritz immediately entered the sight of a top tycoon like Duke Tulip, and was soon promoted to the adjutant of the Secretary of Military Affairs!

This position made countless people jealous and red eyes! Who doesn’t know that Duke Tulip’s status in the empire, and being able to become his adjutant is equivalent to standing by the great man’s side and studying day and night, with a bright future!

Sure enough, after becoming a military minister, Duke Tulip stepped down and left office and ran to serve as the imperial finance minister. Roman Fritz also followed him and left the military headquarters and went to the Ministry of Finance to continue to serve as the Duke's adjutant and staff member.

And here, his experience once again showed a small episode.

This young talent who can be said to have been promoted by Duke Tulip, actually had a disagreement with Duke Tulip.

It is said that because of different opinions on a certain financial plan during work, Roman Fritz, the young and energetic, insisted on his own opinion and did not give up his position because the other party was the great Duke of Tulips of the Empire.

At that time, countless people criticized the young Roman Fritz for being ungrateful.

But Duke Tulip showed a broad mind. Not only did he not blame the young man, he appreciated him more and more. Later, during an official change, Duke Tulip left the Ministry of Finance and officially served as the Prime Minister of the Empire. Just before he became Prime Minister, he personally signed an appointment letter to appoint Roman Fritz as the Chief Executive of a region in the southern part of the Empire.

From an adjutant to an aide to a rank of officials, this is the most difficult threshold for a group of senior officials of the empire to cross!

However, Roman Fritz did it easily because he was appreciated by the Duke of Tulip!

He left the imperial capital and left the Duke of Tulip - until then, he was thirty-one and had been with Duke of Tulip for six years.

Roman Fritz worked in the south and did a very good job. The areas he ruled grew rapidly in both people's livelihood and wealth, and was considered an outstanding official.

And just when he was thirty-five, he finally ushered in the greatest opportunity in his career!

At that time, the Newhoven province of the East China Sea in the Empire gradually exposed many problems after years of development of the East China Sea after a period of peak development.

The biggest problem is management chaos. Because it is far away from the mainland, the sea transportation is inconvenient, and communication is even more difficult, and government orders are often difficult to convey in time. The entire Newhoven Province is composed of more than one hundred islands.

After the initial development, as the East China Sea became increasingly prosperous, various problems and disadvantages were exposed. For example, private goods were flooded and the state lost taxes. Due to the disorderly development, business gradually shrank... There are also government problems with serious signs of corruption.

It is worth mentioning that at that time, the scandal of the then Governor of Newhoven Province had just been revealed. The previous Governor was exposed for being corruption and huge wealth, sheltered the smuggling industry and accepted huge bribes from several business associations. Such crimes made His Majesty, who had just ascended the throne and crowned the imperial emperor, extremely angry and sent the unlucky Governor to the gallows.

After the position of the Governor of Newhoven Province was empty, this position was stared by countless people.

Everyone knows that this location is extremely fat! Newhofen, the province in the East China Sea, is experiencing great development, prosperous trade routes, marine trade, pearl industry, etc., all of which are fat and oily industries. How can there be less oil and water when you become a chief official here?

Many wealthy families have put forward their agents to try to compete for this position.

However, the emperor who had just been crowned at that time was not a confused person.

His Majesty the Emperor was very clear that in order to develop the Newhoven province in the East China Sea, it was necessary to appoint a truly capable official, rather than give this position to the agent of a certain aristocratic family, so that the Newhoven province would become a fat meat in the face of some aristocratic families.

What surprised countless people was that His Majesty the Emperor rejected more than a dozen recommended candidates. After personally checking a lot of information among the officials of the empire, he took a look at Roman Fritz at first sight!

His six years of experience as an adjutant and aide with the Duke of Tulip became his greatest advantage in the election. Moreover, his later political achievements as a local official were also extremely outstanding.

His Majesty the Emperor even went to pay homage to the Duke of Tulip in person, and after listening to the Duke's own opinions... he made a decision.

Roman Fritz, who is only thirty-five years old and just a newly emerging official star, has completed the most important leap in his life!

At the age of thirty-five, he became the governor of the imperial province and the highest-ranking official among the local officials of the empire!

Such experiences are rare in the imperial officialdom! It should be noted that this Governor Roman Fritz did not have a strong backstage. He was born as a middle-class nobleman and had no connections or background in the senior management of the imperial government.

Although he was once an adjutant to Duke Tulip, he was only in his working relationship - everyone knows that he never got close to the Tulip family in terms of personal relationships! He even later had a disagreement with Duke Tulip.

However, such a young man with no background and age of thirty-five was personally selected by His Majesty the Emperor.

Immediately, Roman Fritz was recalled from the south to the imperial capital. In the palace, he met His Majesty the Emperor and had an opportunity to personally report his duties to the Supreme Emperor.
