Chapter 59: The Bottom Line of a Man

It was still pouring rain outside, and the entire imperial capital was silent. There was only the sound of wind and thunder between the world, and the sound of rain and the sound of thunder kept ringing.

Lin Feng stood alone in front of the window with his hands behind his back and silently looked at the sky, his face slightly sad, and his eyebrows could not be stretched.

In fact, it is the end of mid-autumn and it is almost late in autumn. In this season, it is really difficult to see thunderstorms, but this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that whenever a thunder explodes in the sky, Lin Feng always feels inexplicably. This feeling is something he has never had before, and he himself cannot explain why.

In short, in this thunderous weather, he could not practice at all.

Every time he compressed the electric sword at the beginning, as long as the thunder sounded in the air, the inexplicable heartbeat would immediately distract him and he would not be able to enter the state at all.

Therefore, Lin Feng simply stopped practicing and walked to the window and looked at the thunder in the sky.

The moment he practiced in the afternoon, he recovered his mental power a lot, so Lin Feng was not very tired at this time. As his strength became stronger, Lin Feng found that his lightning was gradually becoming "saturated". He had an experience of "saturation", which made him look forward to the next "saturation".

But under this expectation, there was still a deep sense of anxiety. It seemed that a voice in his heart kept telling him: This is not enough, his current strength is far from enough!!

Even Lin Feng didn't know why, he had this kind of thought in his heart. Under this kind of thought, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of crisis. Even if he was so busy that he couldn't practice one day, he would still feel a strange sense of guilt in his heart, especially in this thunderstorm weather. This sense of crisis and guilt seemed to be magnified infinitely, which made him feel strong anxiety in his heart now.

In fact, in addition to this incident, there was something even more anxious about Lin Feng. When he thought of this incident, he couldn't help but sigh.

My fief is located on the edge of Parker Plain, which is a little further away than Parker Plain. The original name was a province named after the famous swamp "Talvo", which is also a plain. However, after being sealed to me, it will become the "Dad Plain" accordingly.

After a month, Crower should have handed over some necessary procedures at least, and all he had to wait for was to leave.

But the key is that Lin Feng has no one in his hands now. Of course, although Robert gave him two thousand elite soldiers, they were just elite soldiers! What he needs now are some administrative officials, at least a large number of people must maintain the administrative agencies of the entire province!

If you want to establish a private army, as long as you have money, you can recruit them at any time. After all, in this peaceful era without war, many people are willing to become the private army of the nobles. This not only allows them to make a living, but most importantly, it is also an honor to be a private army! Moreover, it is the private legion of the Duke of the Snow Demon Wolf of the Empire!

Therefore, Lin Feng was not worried about recruiting private troops.

But these administrative officials are different!

If you want to hold this position, it is not only necessary to have a little personal strength. Even if you don’t have any administrative experience, you can still cultivate it slowly. The most important thing is that this group of people must at least understand some knowledge in this field. Even if you have not learned the way of governing the country, you must at least know how to manage it. The most important thing is that this group of people must be trustworthy!!

Most of the selection of imperial officials was born from the nobles. There were too few opportunities for civilians, so no civilians would waste time in this field!!

If Lin Feng wants to recruit talents in this field, he must select them from civilians without any background. But where can Lin Feng find such talents who meet the conditions?

Therefore, Lin Feng spent this month basically through anxiety, and the reason why he only gave Philip five days was that the transfer of the Talvo province had almost been completed. After receiving this news, those imperial officials would inevitably cause some trouble for themselves due to dissatisfaction during the period of their resignation. Even if they did not dare to cause any trouble and left some trouble for themselves, it would be a headache!

After all, who made me steal their jobs?

According to the imperial law, the time for resignation is only one and a half months! In other words, if you do not bring people to take over within a month and a half, then the entire provincial administrative system will face overall "paralyze"!

Even if Lin Feng can recruit some useful talents, after taking over various positions, he can handle the troubles left by the original team. The most important thing is that his trip will inevitably lead to a chain reaction. Just imagine, the residents of Tarvo Province have adapted to the original management of the province and brought a group of new people over. In various management methods, even if they are very close to the previous management methods of the original team, there will be at least some deviations!

These deviations may be extremely weak, but they will show various disadvantages on the civilians in the entire province. At least, Lin Feng still understands the truth of the butterfly effect.

Once various deviations occur, it is likely to lead to dissatisfaction among civilians and thus riots!!

Although you are the Duke of Snow Demon Wolf, the civilians will not buy it if there is any problem. At that time, you will need to suppress it by force, at least to play a deterrent role, and then find ways to slowly adjust from within to achieve the "satisfaction" effect of the civilians.

After all, the foundation of everything is still civilians. If civilians are dissatisfied, they will be finished.

And this early deterrence is necessary, and even I have to give some benefits to the civilians to temporarily rest.

But the key is that there are no masters around him. The two guards are only at level seven and have not even reached level eight. Therefore, it is not that Lin Feng did not give Philip time, but because he himself has no time at all!

Of course, the premise of all this is to find some useful talents, at least to hold middle and low-level administrative positions, otherwise, everything is just empty talk!!

Among these administrative positions, the most important one is naturally the Governor! It is the soul of this institution. If other administrative officials can try to lower the requirements for recruitment, then the Governor's position cannot be careless at all.

First of all, this person must be a wise person, and secondly, he must have some administrative experience, even if it is very few, but most importantly, this person must be trustworthy. If even the governor is not trustworthy, Lin Feng simply went directly to the palace and asked the emperor to take back his title!

But is this possible?

...

Seeing that the days of departure were getting fewer and fewer, there was no clue about the manpower matters at all. How could Lin Feng not be in a hurry and not be anxious?

Coupled with the special sense of crisis brought by the thunderstorm, he couldn't help but feel upset!!!

Looking at the sky for a while, Lin Feng suddenly closed the window, kicked the magic light aside, and got into the quilt. He simply wanted to sleep like this. When tomorrow will clear, his sense of crisis will be reduced, and then he will find a way to recruit some administrative talents.

If you really can't recruit, you can only borrow some people from Robert first, and then slowly cultivate some people.

However, Lin Feng is also a normal man, and he also has a bottom line of self-esteem in his heart. After all, as a civilian at first, especially as a civilian for two lives, he was also ambitious in his heart. Suddenly, he was appreciated by the emperor and held a province in his hands, holding a large area of ​​territory, the fate of thousands of people, and with great power, he inevitably had a sense of pride of wanting to do something big!

But this kind of passion made him more cautious because of his two-life ambition. In his concept, he must seize this opportunity and overcome all difficulties through his own efforts. Although, as long as he is willing to ask Robert for someone, Robert will inevitably lend him, but because of Anne, Lin Feng had a deep inferiority from the beginning.

Although he has become one of the two flags of the entire empire, he has a sense of persistence that he refuses to bow his head because of his inferiority in his heart. Perhaps "borrowing people" is nothing in Robert's opinion, but in Lin Feng's heart, there is a bottom line, a bottom line that does not want to be attached to Robert!

In other words, he doesn't want outsiders to say that he has successfully developed by Robert!

This mentality is like if you were originally a poor boy, but one day you suddenly got the favor of a wealthy daughter. Relying on the power brought by this wealthy daughter, you have successfully gotten rid of the situation of a poor boy.

Although most men will not choose to give up this opportunity, once you succeed, even if you do not get too much help from the woman, most of it is achieved through your own efforts. However, in the eyes of outsiders, you still cannot get rid of the halo brought by the woman. In other words, in the eyes of outsiders, without the woman, you will not be who you are today!

And if you fail, the cold eyes and ridicule you have to endure will be magnified infinitely! Although others may not say anything in front of you, you will feel unparalleled pressure in your heart!!

In other words, no matter whether you succeed or fail, there will always be some shadows in your heart.

And Lin Feng just doesn’t want his life to be filled with the shadows brought by Robert!!

This is the bottom line of most aspiring men. If a small number of men encounter this situation, no matter whether they succeed or fail, they may not put too much pressure on themselves. But Lin Feng belongs to these most people, so it will be difficult for him to let go of the last self-esteem in his heart and turn to Robert for help.

Moreover, his current position does not allow him to do this!!

He borrowed people from Robert, and could hide them from the common people, but he could not hide them from the nobles at all, and even more so could not hide them from the Emperor Dandy!

This is different from the elite soldiers given by Robert. After all, even without these two thousand elite soldiers, all the "systems" can operate normally. Without these officials in the province, the entire "system" will be paralyzed!

If the nobles knew about this, at most they would think that they were incompetent and looked down on themselves. They would not say anything on the surface. However, even if they were smelly in secret, the "prestige" brought by the Duke of Snow Demon Wolf will definitely be a big discount.

But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is if Dandy knows, what kind of thoughts will he have?

Although he gave himself the title of Duke of Snow Demon Wolf. Although he was grateful and included some political choices, why didn’t he choose others but instead chose himself?

It is because, in the emperor's heart, his own value position is very high, and the emperor values ​​himself very much. Otherwise, this position will not be his own. From a political perspective, the emperor can completely choose others, and from a thankful perspective, the emperor can also choose to thank himself in other ways.

For example, if you grant yourself a lifelong duke, then marry a princess of the royal family to yourself, so that your descendants can have royal bloodlines, and their status will naturally rise.

For example, if you give yourself an important property of the royal family to your own control, then yourself, including your descendants, will also be protected, at least as a result of being separated from the category of "civilians".

But the emperor chose this way of thanking, which proves that he is not just thanking himself, but also reusing himself. The fact that the title of Duke of Snow Demon Wolf is likely to be an opportunity. If he successfully develops his family and does a colorful and beautiful job, he will have a broader stage in the future.

Even relying on the trust that saved the emperor's life twice, it may be his own position as the future prime minister! After all, he is young and the current emperor is young. If there is no major failure on his future path, everything will be possible in the future.

However, if Dandy knew that he went to borrow from Robert, his position in the emperor's heart would be greatly dispelled, and his future development might be greatly hindered.

Moreover, the Duke of Snow Demon Wolf is also the most important banner of the entire empire. If he cannot carry this banner well, the emperor's face will also suffer corresponding losses. At that time, his situation will inevitably become more and more difficult.

After all, in this era, the emperor's mind is crucial.

Therefore, this time, the incident can also be said to be a test for the emperor. As long as you pass this hurdle and pass the test of the emperor, your political future will be bright.

Although... the God of Light will wake up within ten years, and the entire continent doesn’t know what changes will happen, at least in the past few years before the God of Light wakes up, Lin Feng was unwilling to let himself have any regrets!

Taking these two major reasons, finding Robert to borrow someone is a bad idea, but if you can't find a way in these five days, then there is only this way to go.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng, who had crawled into the bed, couldn't help but sigh...

Could it be that my own destiny can only be like this? I have the stage that everyone else dreams of, but I can't play it out?

With such thoughts, Lin Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly... In the eyes of others, he was so glorious that he founded the extremely successful industry of "News Broadcast" in just one month. Even the mighty image of the Snow Demon Wolf Duke was deeply rooted in people's hearts.

But who can understand the troubles in your heart?

The more Lin Feng thought about it, the more he felt irritated, so he simply kicked the quilt aside, sat up suddenly, took a few deep breaths to relieve the pressure in his heart.

However, at this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

Dongdongdongdongdong-

"What's the matter?" Lin Feng was already extremely irritated and couldn't help but ask at the door in anger.

"Uh..." Bond outside heard Lin Feng's uneven tone, and couldn't help but hesitate for a moment before saying carefully: "Master, Guard Marley is back. He is waiting for you in the study room now, saying that something is important."

What's important?

Lin Feng was shocked. What important things can happen if he buryed a corpse?

Although Lin Feng thought so, he couldn't help but feel solemn in his heart. Although Marley had a little inferiority, his personality was very delicate. It was precisely because of this unique inferiority that he was extremely responsible and serious in doing things. Usually, as long as it was handed over to Marley, even if it was extremely difficult to do, Marley would bite the bullet and do it beautifully. This time, if he could tell important things, it would definitely be something he could not solve!

Thinking of this, Lin Feng did not dare to delay, so he quickly got off the bed, pushed the door and walked out.

And his push-up door immediately scared Bond. He didn't expect his master to come out so soon. Lin Feng didn't care much at this time. He glanced at Bond and said, "Okay, I understand, you go back and rest."

After saying this, he didn't care about Bond, and directly carried the Dou Qi and walked towards the study. Because the Dou Qi protects his body, the rain could not wet his clothes. Soon, before he arrived at the study, he pushed the door and walked in directly.

Marley, who was staying in the study, did not change much, but his face turned a little pale, which made him look a little haggard.

Lin Feng saw Mali stand up and stabilized his emotions. As a superior, no matter how anxious he was, he had to remain calm in front of his subordinates. This was not a pretending gesture, but to make his subordinates feel at ease. Therefore, after stabilizing his mood, he said in a deep voice: "Mali, what happened?"

"Lin Feng..." Marley was obviously extremely anxious. In desperation, she directly called out Lin Feng's name, and then without any pause, she told Lin Feng unreservedly about the matter found in the cemetery.

Of course, Lin Feng would not care about the title of Marli. After listening to Marli's narration, his heart was shocked and a sentence instantly came to his mind - how is it possible!!
