Long Yu didn't know that the acquisition of his position had a great impact on the society in the Holy City, for thousands of years, the Holy City has always been in the hands of the nobles, not to mention the general who defends the city, it is an ordinary patrol general, and ordinary people don't want to get involved, if your background can't determine your status, then no matter how high your talent is, it's all in vain here.
Although everything in the Holy City is so superior, whether it is life or work, as long as you want, you can get a share, but if you want to climb into the official ranks, there are only two ways, one is to find a noble wife, of course, this probability is very small, how can the nobles be willing to mix their blood with ordinary people, even if there is, it is only a very small number of lucky people.
The second is to enter the Temple, which nominally does not interfere with the Holy City, but in fact, since a long time ago, the Temple has infiltrated the rule of the Holy City, and whoever is recommended by the Temple, even if he was a humble slave before, will still have a position in the Holy City.
In addition to these two items, for the ordinary high elves who occupy the vast majority of the numbers, all they can do is those professions that have no status, even if they make more money and have high strength, in essence, they are just ordinary people, entering the high-level community, where there is no seat for them, and for the holy city of the ruling class, the ordinary people can only look up, and have no chance to approach at all.
But now it is different, the reform of the Holy City began, and the general of the East City Gate became the first position to witness the reform, which is the first time in thousands of years that ordinary people have obtained a position that can only be obtained by nobles, so it has milestone significance, which is why Long Yu's inauguration ceremony is so exaggerated.
When the carnival was over, and Long Yu received his own official card and official uniform, he understood what it meant to be quiet after the noise, the tranquility behind the prosperity, a rotten stilted building, three floors up and down, and the windows on the third floor were all exposed, looking like a skull, and the entire East City Gate garrison, except for Long Yu, the general who guarded the city, there were only two horsemen.
The city guards that Long Yu saw outside the city gate before were all the Templar Knights of the Temple, and now the rights of the Temple have been deprived, and the city gate defense has once again fallen into the hands of the Holy City, but for the Holy City, the city gate defense has not belonged to them for many years, so in the statistics of the Holy City, there is no establishment of the city gate at all, and all these personnel are all over the place, as well as the control of defensive weapons, all of which must be handled by Long Yu, the newly appointed general who defends the city.
And after Long Yu reported the forecast arrangements and personnel needs he had made, he found out what a poor yamen he mastered, the number of soldiers at the city gate was one hundred and eighty people, eighty people at the city gate, one hundred people on the city tower, and the city walls on both sides were under the jurisdiction of the city guards, that is to say, what Long Yu now mastered was only one city gate that was closed and opened every day, and all the taxes from this gate in the past had fallen into the pockets of the temple.
Before getting a reply from his superiors, Long Yu, the general who defended the city, was actually a bare-bones commander without a single soldier.
The handover of the temple was not postponed because of Long Yu's predicament, and the magic cards that controlled the rise and fall of the city gate were handed over to Long Yu's hands, thus announcing the end of the temple's domination over the east gate of the holy city.
And what made Long Yu grit his teeth even more was that on the first day he went to work, he received a notice of three taxes, and the income from the city gate has always been in the hands of the temple, but for Long Yu's upper echelons, this is not something they have to consider, what they are thinking about is that this quarter's taxes, the newly appointed city guard general, must be paid within ten days, and for Long Yu, who does not have a single soldier under his command, just opening the city gate every day is already a trouble.
Ye Wenhao and Yi Shuihan were released as they wished, Long Yu spent a lot of effort to change their appearance for them, and finally brought a gas sealing charm around his neck, only this thing can block the breath of human beings, and the breath of the high elves, although Ye Wenhao and Yi Shuihan are not too strong, it is not difficult to simulate this.
With the help of Ye Wenhao and Yi Shuihan, Long Yu is still the first two big, and the normal establishment is all supported by the tax of the city gate, and today is over, and the city gate can only be opened tomorrow morning at the earliest to obtain taxes, even if Long Yu and they have worked hard for the past ten days, and someone has paid the fee for entering the city every moment, but for the fee limit of that quarter, it still seems to be an astronomical amount.
"Big brother, no one is hard to handle, we need to recruit some people."
Yi Shuihan looked at the pile of plans he made on the table, and the numbers behind him were not the most headache, the most headache was that the current employment did not know where to look.
"I can only recruit in the city, I asked the superiors in the Eastern District, and I said a word over there and solved it myself."
Long Yu flicked the dirt on his clothes, he had just run to the Commander's Mansion in the Eastern District, but he still touched his nose.
"I really don't understand how such a big city can be managed so loosely, what kind of holy king, not a straw bag, must be a faint king."
Ye Wenhao rubbed the back of his head and said, the city gate is the gateway of a city, and at the moment, he can't even get together a single person, and no one cares about his superiors, no wonder he thinks about it.
"In the absence of an external enemy, of course the guards are lax."
Yi Shuihan replied, and then quickly calculated, "Even if you find fifty people, you need two thousand gold coins, and the pressure seems to be a bit great."
Listening to Yi Shuihan's estimate, Long Yu couldn't help but touch his pocket, there were a few money bags lying there, or when he went to the exam a few days ago, it was roughly estimated that it added up to less than two hundred gold coins, which seemed to be a bit big for the number of two thousand.
"After a month, the performance will be inspected, if the taxes cannot be paid and the staffing is not complete, then the eldest brother, the general of the city gate, will be in vain."
Ye Wenhao held up the red parchment in his hand and said, it was a notice issued to each city gate, and on it was an order issued by a superior unit.
"It's okay, let's find a way, let's go eat first."
Long Yu stretched his waist and said disapprerovingly, just two thousand gold coins, it was difficult for him, Ye Wenhao and Yi Shuihan glanced at each other, and the two of them also stood up with a relaxed face, and the three of them walked out of the door with a big grin, and just went down the stairs to the hall on the first floor, and were blocked by a group of soldiers in golden helmets and armor.
"What's the situation" The other party's menacing appearance made Ye Wenhao very unhappy, and he rushed up immediately, Long Yu hurriedly stopped him, and said softly: "It's okay, go later."
Yi Shuihan also whispered on the side: "Don't be nervous, it's none of our business."
Ye Wenhao relieved himself at this time, he thought that this battle was because their identity was leaked, but now that he looks at it again, he thinks about it calmly, he is indeed too nervous
