"Have you heard......

During the lunch break, after finishing the morning's work, the civil servants also had a time to eat and rest.

At this time, they like to get together and talk about what they just learned yesterday or today, and there is also a cafeteria in the town hall, and the food in the canteen is much better than outside, and more importantly, it doesn't cost money.

Although being a civil servant only includes food and not shelter, how can there be other jobs in the world with such good conditions and not dangerous conditions?

Not to mention that the salary is quite high, even if the salary is not high, just for the road to be able to continue to move upwards - even if it is just an opportunity - even if it is very tiring, they are willing to do it, not to mention that the salary is really good.

"What?" Mantra turned her head to look over, her eyes full of confusion.

Giraud took a bite of the fluffy bread and glanced at the 'chopsticks' in Mantra's hand, he didn't know how Mantra had learned to use the two small sticks.

Mantra also looked at Giro, took a bite of rice, then took a piece of meat, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

This is a new type of food crop that the maid grows a few years ago that some farmers have started to grow, and to be honest, it is quite filling, and it tastes even better with those dishes, not like bread, not at all.

The only drawback is that it doesn't taste very good when it's cold, and it's not like bread that can be swallowed hard when it's wet.

At this time, the others also looked over, and seeing this, Giraud hurriedly swallowed the bread in his mouth, took a sip of hot water, and said mysteriously: "The caravans from the Alliance of Free City-States have suddenly increased recently, and they still carry a lot of goods!"

"Oh, and then?" said Mantra, taking another bite of food.

"Didn't Miss Edith tell us to buy those things lately? and they were tariff-free......

Giraud was a little puzzled, 'zero tariff' is just that, it seems that the export of goods has been stopped recently, but there is no news from the Black Forest in the north!

"But when I went to the Treasury before......" said Giro, and when he noticed the expressions of the others, he suddenly became playful, and he felt a little embarrassed, "What's wrong? What's wrong? Isn't there a book that is written like that? My Fair Lady, My Fair Lady, Gentleman, my mother is waiting for me to find a wife sooner!"

There are not many female civil servants in the city hall, and these few women are concentrated in the Ministry of Finance and the Secretariat, so there are often civil servants who have nothing to do, and even sneak to the Ministry of Finance or the Secretariat during working hours to 'find out the enemy'.

"And, and I went to the Treasury only because I had something to do!" Giraud stammered.

But the more you explain, the more obvious the banter on the faces of the others.

Seeing that Ji Luo's face turned red, and after lowering his head and taking two bites of bread, Mantra put down his chopsticks and pushed the hot water over with a smile, "My Fair Lady, how good are the gentlemen, don't look at them like that, if they really have a chance, they will also go......"

But as soon as he finished speaking, the others started to make a fuss.

"Okay, you're a Mantra, it's great to have a childhood sweetheart?"

"I'm sorry, it's really amazing to have a childhood sweetheart, not to mention that I'm getting married recently. ”

With Mantra's interruption, Giraud recovered a lot, drank a sip of hot water, cleared his throat, "Ahem!"

Everyone was quiet all at once, they were just joking, and they weren't really angry.

"When I went to the Treasury before, I listened to Di Li...... Ahem, I heard from the people over there, our financial situation hasn't been very good lately. Although the maid elder had borrowed money from the Kolo Kingdom before, as you know, other places are different from ours, and the pace of preparation is too slow. If we don't speak now, we will have to rely on self-sufficiency, but the wealth of the people is not very much, I doubt ......" Giraud smacked his mouth and did not continue, but everyone in the room understood what he was trying to say.

When I talked about this, everyone's hearts were heavy.

This kind of thing may be hidden from others, but it cannot be hidden from them, the civil servants who work in the city hall.

They had vaguely heard some bad news before, maybe the Moore Merchant Federation and the Free City-State Alliance were going to do something to their principality.

They don't know why Miss Edith and the maid have stopped exporting, but if they do, they must have a reason.

Otherwise, this thing would be too weird!

Stockpiling all the goods in the warehouse, it is clear that as long as they are sold, they can relieve the financial pressure, but except for the transaction with the royal family of Raizel, they do not export any goods.

Now the goods produced by the factories are only able to be digested by themselves, but without any warning.

Workers' wages have not decreased, their food is still abundant, and if they are not civil servants and do not know about it, they may still feel that the country is thriving.

However, there is no joint squeeze market of other chambers of commerce outside, and no country has blocked the border, on the contrary, they welcome it!

“...... Have a good lunch and then take a break!"

In the midst of this strange silence, Mantra suddenly spoke, picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and began to eat, "Miss Edith and the maid always have a reason to do this, this is not what we people should think. Eat, eat!"

Everyone began to eat again, but the warm atmosphere before was gone, and Giraud also felt that he had done something wrong, buried his head, and silently ate his bread, and said no more.

............

In a high-end hotel in Wende City, a figure with steady steps walked up to the third floor and walked to the innermost room.

"My lord, I have news!"

As soon as he entered the room, the man seemed to have changed his face, a flattering smile appeared on his face, and he shouted in a low voice, and walked quickly to the living room of the room.

The chubby businessman who was sitting on the sofa in the living room and taking a nap suddenly woke up and asked urgently, "What's the news?"

"North! It's North!"

The servant's face was full of excitement, and he said in a loud voice: "It is said that there is a problem in the Black Forest, and this problem is not small! I spent more than thirty gold coins one after another to find out, and the things produced in the factory were not hoarded at all, but were sent to the north!"

The chubby merchant slapped his palm, his face was excited, "I'll just say it, I'll say it......"

After chattering for a while, the chubby merchant reacted, raised his head and hurriedly asked, "Have you heard anything about it?"

"This ......"

The servant looked embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly: "It seems that the north has been blocked from the news, and there has not been much news so far, only, only this bit of news......"

“...... It's okay. ”

The chubby merchant was stunned for a moment, and after a little thought, he showed a relaxed smile.

He nodded approvingly at the servant: "You did a good job, you can keep the rest of the news fee, you have been with me for almost ten years, take the money to buy some things for the mother-in-law at home......!

The servant was overjoyed and thanked him again and again: "Thank you, thank you, your ......."

"Let's go!" the chubby merchant smiled and waved his hand, "Get ready, we can start selling goods with confidence, and then we will have to be busy!"

"Yes, my lord!" the servant saluted, then pursed his lips and walked out briskly.

The chubby merchant listened to the footsteps and gradually moved away, touched his belly, and followed him out of the room, and went downstairs to the toilet.

When he walked slowly back to his room, he didn't notice anyone around, so he quickly stood in front of the door of the room next to him, and knocked on the door of this room.

Standing outside the door and waiting for a while, the door opened a gap, he pushed the door and walked in, and then a hand pressed down on his neck.

"Password!" a gloomy voice came from behind him, and the door closed.

"The finch is home!" said the chubby merchant, and then the hand around his neck was released.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and then told the information he had just learned: "It's the Black Forest in the north that has an accident!"
