The dark room is equipped with the latest dim electric lamps. The lights flicker on and off, indicating that there is a cat lamp stealing electricity behind the scenes.
Two rows of huge bookcases serve as the walls on both sides, and each bookshelf is filled with pages and account books.
The time is simply recorded below using the model lake method.
Gwen heard a sigh.
Another sigh!
This was the sixth sigh that Middleria made after checking the room where the account books were kept. He didn't dare to look back at all! He was afraid of seeing the disappointed and condemning expression of the red-haired girl.
That's embarrassing!
he thinks.
It would be nice if the sparks were here, then it would be shameful for the sparks to be here...
This man's work ethic is unbearable.
She has definitely never taken a class, never taken our course on how to make money, and the method and consequentialism of making money at work is the only way to make money!
"I think it can be done tomorrow morning."
Mideliya rolled up her sleeves, revealing slender arms that looked as if they could be broken by someone.
She said: "Are all the ledgers here?"
"all."
Gwen explained for her: "On the right side are the ledgers of Secret Agent, Sniper Cat and Cat Lantern. The red one is the one we use, the strange color and crooked font is from Cat Lantern, oh, and the black one is...
"
He hesitated for half a second, not knowing whether to say it or not.
Don’t be suspicious of people you use. Don’t be suspicious of others.
"The black one is another strange story, The Butcher's Account Book in the Rain."
Midelia's hand trembled: "What did you say?"
"There is a member of the Yutu who has a good relationship with us, and they have recently settled in the Sniper Cat's pipeline. Once they have settled, they will naturally have the idea of trade. We take care of their finances, and they provide us with convenience and reward.
.”
This is also part of the revenue, which fills Gwen's private treasury as additional revenue. This part is also unclear, so Gwen coughed and whispered:
"And the reward for this, ahem, is, you know."
"Don't worry, I'm not the manager. Let me say it again, I will give you the specific calculation results and let you review them."
Midelia was used to this kind of behavior and said this with understanding.
"good……"
Gwen then introduced her to the Rangers' ledger and so on.
The Rangers' ledgers are backed up here because of Utopia's special system, which is the train conductor's responsibility system.
To put it simply, every train conductor has the right to obtain the account books of the companies and associations operating on his train. They can fake it, but they can also check it, and they can falsify it, but they must have it. The relationship between Ranger and Gwen
Quite good, this part of the ledger is mainly about taxation, that is, the part related to Gwen's interests.
"confusion."
Midelia shook her head, "But I'll figure it out."
"Then I'll leave it to you."
After Gwen finished speaking, she went back to sleep with peace of mind.
…
The next day, in the office, Gwen met with Gray Tower first. Gray Tower Bear showed his face this time. The secret agent was very grateful to him, so he gave him many unique commissions.
"Too many training tasks!"
He said.
"Gwen, you have to find a way to give me some manpower here!"
The gray tower bear waved its hands wildly.
Gwen thought for a while: "How about asking Artyom to help you?"
"Haha? Doesn't he still want me to teach him?"
"Those who are able work hard, Gray Tower."
Huita held his hands: "No, you have to give me two people!"
Gwen thought, holding up a finger: "Give you someone."
Huita Didi Gugu: "It's better than nothing."
"I'll ask Kady and Artyom to help you."
Huita touched his beard: "Aren't they essentially two people?"
One of them is not human.
Gwen glanced at him, wrote the oracle, picked up the seal used by the Mind Flayer Pope and sealed it. Looking at the confused bear again, her heart was filled with joy:
Enlighten yourself!
"Kady is near the alchemy tower and should be having breakfast now. Artyom... you know where it is, go find it yourself."
Artyom has become very familiar with Gray Tower recently, and the two of them have endless topics to talk about.
Like cars, like wine, like the mysterious past.
This is something they have in common.
Recently, the two of them had a small gathering with Mihayla. Mihayla also likes cars, but can't drive. The last time he drove Huita's car, the result was that Huita was happy to welcome a new car, and Mihayla was very happy.
He was bleeding once, but he had no choice but to crash someone else's car.
Huita walked out in a happy mood.
…
The second person who walked in from the door was Mideliya.
The long red hair has this messy natural curly feel, but what's more noticeable is that there are five cat lights floating above her head, and these cats are staring at her uneasily.
"Have you sorted it out?"
"It's almost done. At least in my words, it's not even ten points, but nine points."
"Oh~"
Gwen drawled, pushing the sofa away with her tail and gesturing for the other person to sit on it.
Middleria was not polite and plopped down directly, put the information in front of Gwen, closed her eyes and rested.
Before he could read it, Middleia complained:
"Your management methods are too backward and too cumbersome, and it even seems to be deliberately confusing so that there is no way to check the accounts."
Is it so obvious?
Gwen opened the information, and the first page made his eyebrows raise happily.
Middleria, who was born into a noble family (probably), has received a very good education. The Utopia language she writes no longer looks like complicated runes, but like English with a squiggle feel, and the words are neat and neat.
, arranged side by side with a baseline, made Gwen, who was used to seeing cat lantern fonts, feel a sincere sense of pleasure.
After talking about the appearance, let’s talk about the content.
The content is quite substantial and no nonsense.
It reads neatly:
"On the second day of winter: There is a problem with the expenditure record, which does not match the accounting description of the sixth day in winter. The spender is Maodeng, and the purpose is to purchase train oil. The record on the sixth day is [Expenditure on train miscellaneous matters] and is split into
"Main chores items" and "Secret investigation office supplies items" contain deliberate misreporting, but the engine oil reserves have actually increased. Therefore, it is recommended to order Mao Deng to hand over his corrupt finances, but not to hold him accountable."
Meow——
The meow of the cat lantern surrounds my ears.
Gwen looked to the left and saw a fluffy white cat. A pure white cat was reading this material with him worriedly.
"Cat Lantern is greedy?" Gwen asked.
Meow——
"Greedy, but not completely greedy." Midelia said in a relaxed tone without opening her eyes, "Mao Deng's way of being greedy is usually to do his job well, but at the same time, he uses his better methods to save money.
Then take all the money saved.”
Sounds like...
"It doesn't sound like a big impact, right? But that's why I recommend punishment but not accountability, because I went to find that one last night, Penny! Yes, I went to her to get first-hand information about train oil.
We changed brands and needed to adapt again, which resulted in additional wear and tear on the internal operating parts of the Laoxiangren. According to the depreciation principle, we..."
Umm, gurgle, gurgle!
Midelia talked about heavenly scriptures for about three minutes, and the cat lights began to fall asleep. Gwen was just woken up by the purring of the cat lights, and rubbed her eyes:
"Okay, okay, I agree..."
Meow——
Gwen stamped it without hesitation, the cat lights lowered their tails angrily, and the cats sighed.
But the cat lights didn't argue.
This is also related to the habits of their race. To put it simply, they can afford to play. There are very few cat lights that think about 'only winning, not losing', and there is also no such thing as 'showing off when they win and talking about it when they lose'.
The bottom line is cat lights. If you are discovered, give in. Cats can just do the details right next time!
What happened next was the incident that caused the cat lights to explode.
Midelia revealed a total of more than 60 major cases of tax evasion by cat lamps, as well as the incident of secretly introducing illegally smuggled cat lamps into cars.
This is no longer something that cannot be afforded.
But the cat exploded!
The amount of tax evasion and tax evasion is huge, and this money has to be handed over to Long Yan instead of Gwen. This cat lamp doesn't want to do it to death, it just wants to delay it.
Illegal smuggling of cat lights is a bit serious.
Because this involves witch affairs, and anything involving witch affairs is extremely dangerous, Gwen also took out the script and took a peek at it, using source power to find out some information, and learned about the cat lantern smuggling itself.
It's not a big deal, but it is a big deal if the witch is nearby. On Utopia trains, some powerful conductors have the right to snitch on the witch!
After so many years of tacit understanding, some strange tacit understanding has long been developed.
However, Gwen still tries her best to help with maneuvers. Cat Lantern will not default on its debts, so Gwen must help maneuver. Otherwise, even if the Witch Lord comes here in person, Cat Lantern will still answer "Meow! Cat, cat is just smuggling and stowaway"
A little bit more!', no matter how scared you are, you will say this.
…
After discussing the ledger issue.
Here comes the real drama.
Midelia glanced at the cat lantern.
Gwen nodded knowingly and said to the cat lights:
"The cats are going to get some food. Just think of it as today's fright fee. Don't worry. I'll have a chat with this lady again... to ensure that your smuggling activities will not be passed on to the witch.
Assume that the witch really exists here."
The witches are well hidden. No matter how much evidence and incidents prove their existence, the Utopians who have witnessed the witches have never been able to find them.
Possibly dead.
It's also possible that like Gwen, she fell into silence.
But in short, there have been very few reports of the witch actually appearing in Utopia over the years, and most of them are related to the immortals. It seems that the birth of every immortal is an event for the witch, something worthy of attention.
"Meow? Okay! Meow, ow, ow!"
The cats and lanterns immediately became happy when they heard that they were eating, drinking, and helping to maneuver. Such optimistic creatures seemed to have no worries, and even if they did, they would not exist for more than a minute.
They ran out of the office in groups.
"I have never seen such an active cat light," said Middleria.
"It's different where you are?"
She shook her head, "It's different. They are on our side, they sleep most of the day, and they definitely don't speak Utopian, and they disappear when the time comes."
"Arrived?"
Middleria's lips pursed, "Usually within two hours, the cat lights will disappear, and then a new batch of cat lights will be replaced, and they will sleep soundly on the lamp posts. But these guys really don't charge for electricity.
It can leave a lot of expenses for Longyan Castle, so it is generally assumed that they have the right to live there."
"Magical creatures." Gwen sighed, "That means they don't speak utopian words to you, and you don't communicate with them?"
"Communicate?" There was an obvious look of disdain and a little sadness on Midelia's face.
"Mao Lan rarely communicates with people in Utopia, very rarely. For example, the behavior of actively approaching you to play cards is relatively rare in the entire Utopia."
Gwen poured Midelia a cup of tea and treated her well.
At the same time, listen to the other party's report on their work.
"First point, the number of spies in your association may be more than you think."
"..." Gwen pretended to be panicked.
It's actually not difficult.
Because his external emotions are relatively restrained, a glare like this and a flick of the dragon's tail uneasily are enough to create an atmosphere of panic, and there is no need to improve his acting skills or anything else.
"About 60% of the management, elite and backbone are spies."
Only sixty percent?
Gwen sneered in her heart, but she still admired Midelia's ability to check accounts. Because it is true that only about 60% of the spies came from the Fellows and Utopia, and the remaining 40%,
There are those from ghost stories and immortals, and maybe even witches. These people do not care about the cost of income when they become spies, and they will reasonably provide a well-run capital chain to disguise their identity.
To put it simply, you are not short of money and don’t care about a little long-term investment.
Currently, the spy content of the entire clerical order's management is probably a little over 90, because in addition to spies, there are also people such as Gwen, Curse Blade, Mihira, and Laura as management.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
But according to Curse Blade's estimate, the number that can be found is probably more than 60%.
"The second point is that the economic situation of your association is incredible. I thought that many spies would bring down your economy, but I didn't expect..."
[Population: spies]
[Effect: +5 order/+5 income/+5 efficiency]
Gwen had to admit that Curse Blade's trick of "As long as everyone except our people are spies, we don't have to bother hunting witches, they are all witches anyway" is still very effective and useful.
"The last point is, I'm afraid I'll have to disturb you for a while longer."
Midelia tilted her head in displeasure and snorted: "There are too many spies. It's really not an easy task to find the group of people we want to find..."
