Cosma Empire

Mr. Kesma was more adept at fighting and killing than politics. Dulin just chatted with him a few words, and he picked up his pipe impatiently and went back to the house. Anyway, this matter has been handed over to Du Lin, and what he does is his business, not his own. Well done, of course Mr. Kesma has the foresight and knows his children very well, so he confidently and boldly handed over the task to him.

If Du Lin didn't do well, it could only be that Du Lin failed Mr. Kesma's expectations, which would make Mr. Kesma feel sad. At this time, he would think of the whips, sticks and other things hanging at home .

Compared with Mr. Kesma's indifference, Mrs. Kesma was very happy, because Du Lin told her that he was about to take office in Odis City, and his position was acting mayor. The reason why there is a generation is the practice of the new party. This word is used to distinguish members who have climbed up to the management level through the party system, and those who "bought" with some money. Only if Du Lin did a good job in this job, the party would remove this word.

Of course, with or without this word, there will be no less power that should belong to Du Lin, and no more power that should not belong to him.

After Mrs. Kesma was happy, she felt emotional. She didn't expect her son to become a nobleman...

Du Lin really wanted to explain that she was actually not an aristocrat, but after thinking about it, she decided to forget it. If she thought the word aristocrat was more appropriate, it would be an aristocrat.

In addition to seeing Mr. Kesma, I came back this time to communicate with Mr. Kesma. After staying at home for almost three or four days, and took Dufo to hunt once, Du Lin took Dufo and Kina together and left Alfalfa Town...

Um, yes, Kina. Old Uncle Layton asked Du Lin to take his eldest son out to see the world, otherwise he would lie on the ground and roll around, and let the residents of the whole town come to see that little Du Lin had developed, and he learned to turn his face against him. The way of recognizing people. In the end, he had no choice but to take Kina along with Mr. Kesma's vague gesture.

The last time I went to a big city and stayed for a few days, Kina didn’t want to come back at all. In a big city like Alodo, it’s like being in a place where the gods live. There are beautiful buildings everywhere. , There are more pedestrians on the road than there are people in the town combined. Especially at night, there are always some enthusiastic ladies who want to drag him to some places to let him be a judge to evaluate the skills of the girls.

He loved the place to death, but went back anyway. He is a very obedient guy, when his father said to use force when fighting, this bastard would use force. His father might not allow him to use force, the bastard just stood there like a guest, waiting for his friends to loosen his bones. He does look a little silly, but he is definitely not stupid. In the words of the world in Durin's dream, this is called Neixiu.

He knew it in his heart, but he didn't show it.

When sitting in the car, Du Fu was a little interested in the long box he was carrying, and asked casually. Kina said it was a fishing rod. He liked this fishing rod the most. He could catch big fish every time. This time I didn't bring anything with me when I left home, so I brought this fishing rod with me, and I vowed that when I got there, I would catch a few big fish for everyone to try.

Duffer mourned for him for three minutes. There is not even a serious river in Odis, let alone a lake.

fishing?

hehe!

Du Lin glanced at Dufo, and suddenly felt that sometimes people are actually quite happy when they are simple.

After a long journey that lasted nearly a week, the three finally got off at the Odis station. It seemed that the steam locomotive didn't like this place either. After leaving the three of them behind, they didn't even have fifteen minutes to rest and wait at each station. Disappeared in a patch of vegetation.

Du Lin looked at the station, and he felt that the first thing he should do was to repair the station.

There is a feeling here that made him go to the west. If the plants here are not so lush, it may be no different from the west. One of the two hooks of the station sign fell off, and the remaining half probably won't last long. Whenever the wind blows, it creaks and shakes. There are several holes in the roof, which have not been repaired, and the benches on the platform are also decayed and out of shape.

This place is even worse than the words describe. In the process of coming out of the station, not to mention the staff, there was not even a mouse, as if the place was abandoned. Fortunately, they had notified the city hall here before they came, and the people here sent a car to pick them up.

a carriage.

And there is no carriage, only a bucket, the kind that is often used to pull and deliver hay in rural areas.

It was a young man in his twenties who came to greet Du Lin. The smile on his face might have been a little too numb, and it was very stiff. After reluctantly saluting, he pointed to the three small stools inside the truck, and said, "The money here is very tight, so I'm very sorry, I can only pick you up with this kind of car." He said sorry, but Without any expression of apology, he sat directly on the driver's seat.

The three of them got into the car body, and after ten or so minutes of bumpy rides, they finally entered the center of Odis. If Du Lin really wants to go into politics, he probably has a cold heart now. Fortunately, he has no idea in this regard. After all, he is only running around for his own benefit, so he is not too dissatisfied with the situation here. .

The highest floor in Odis City does not exceed the fourth floor, and the only house on the fourth floor is the City Hall, but it doesn't look as good as Illian's house. There are pits here and there on the mottled outer wall, which are the wounds left by the shedding of the outer layer. From the front, the city hall is surrounded by a courtyard wall as high as a person, with sentry boxes and no gates. There are some vegetation inside, which seem to be lacking in repairs, and they are wantonly competing with the surrounding plants for living space.

The four-story city hall has four rows of continuous windows from east to west, that is, eight rooms on the first floor and thirty-two rooms on the fourth floor.

After the carriage stopped in the yard, the young man casually tied the reins to a tree. The old horse took the initiative to stand in a shady corner, gnawing on the lush weeds on the ground. The young man led Du Lin and the others into the city. After entering the mayor's office in the hall, he left voluntarily. It was only later that Du Lin found out why this guy had such a stinky face, because he was the director of the traffic bureau here.

The director of the transportation bureau of a city with less than ten cars in total is really a promising job.

Kina looked at the dusty mayor's office, immediately put down his salute, took out a rag and began tidying up the room. He worked diligently, so Dufo had no choice but to follow suit with a rag. He originally wanted to ask someone to clean it, after all, it was not an easy job.

Du Lin just glanced at it, and then said that he wanted to look around.

Only six of the thirty-two rooms were occupied; the rest were either empty or dusty. Some people didn't have any emotion about Du Lin's arrival, they were very numb.

Du Lin called these people, including the director of the Transportation Bureau who sent him here, to the meeting room to clean it for 20 minutes before holding his first meeting after taking office.

It was also this first meeting that made his original plan to develop well was completely thrown aside by him. There are only seven people in more than ten departments of the city hall, and some of them hold two positions. Everyone has a numb smile on their faces, as if it is a routine. From what they said, Du Lin gradually learned that this is the "place of exile" of the New Party, and all the thorns and sinners who have sinned against others will be exiled here.

After a long time, some people voluntarily resigned from their positions in the party and here, and chose to go home and find a new job. There are also some people, such as the seven people who stayed here, waiting and looking for opportunities while mixing their salaries.

They had no idea how to develop the city proposed by Dooling. The entire city has a population of no more than 400,000, and 70% of them are old people and children. Young people who are capable have left the city to work. The only work that can make money here is to make some handmade blankets for those capitalists, and some other jobs that must be done by hand.

It can be said that being assigned here is a certain death.

And Du Lin also became more and more aware of Mayor Illian's thoughts, he was forcing Du Lin to beg him. As long as Du Lin opened his mouth, he could open his mouth wide and ask for a piece of meat from Du Lin. But is Du Lin the kind of person who can compromise at will?

Of course he is not!

In the eyes of others, this city may be lifeless, with no possibility of development at all, but in Du Lin's eyes, this city has great potential. Because his eyes are different from those of the target, and the way they choose is also different.

Odis is located in the southern part of the imperial capital, in the heart of the entire empire. The only drawback is the lack of rivers, and the terrain here is not very good, so there is no railway built, only the north-south railway.

But there is an advantage here, that is, steam locomotives going from south to north to the imperial capital and further north all pass here, which provides considerable convenience for smuggling and collecting railway protection fees.

Yes, he intends to go back to his old business, to smuggle as the mayor!

There is no doubt that once those smugglers know about this, they will flock to them. There is no place that is more convenient and safer than this place. The arrival of these benefactors is also destined to develop this place into another look!

Durin is very confident!
