Chapter 265 Paladin 29
"Ha, is there anything more absurd in this world? Huh?" Seeing that the Pope remained unmoved, the cardinal roared with magic, "Make a thousand people do the work of more than five thousand seven hundred people!"
"You should be hanged from a streetlamp!"
When the cardinal issued the declaration of danger, Sereos, who was silently peeling fruit for Lingyi, slowly tightened his grip on the fruit knife and looked at him with his purple eyes.
"What are you looking at!" The old man was fearless at this moment: "You are a wicked concubine by the side of the tyrant, you are of no use to the Papacy, you only know how to flatter His Majesty and are a treacherous official. You only have His Majesty in your eyes and have no regard for the Papacy!"
At first, the cardinal was both wary and cautious of this demon king who had come to earth, but as time went on, this experienced old man discovered that the demon king had a love-struck mind.
Look, now that the Pope has done such an absurd thing, he's still protecting her!
Don't think he doesn't know how many of those previously dismissed officials were orchestrated by this guy!
Some people are simply dissatisfied with the Pope, but they are capable of doing things. They could be used first and then removed once a replacement is found!
But what about this guy?
They were all driven away without any regard for the consequences. His poor child had to work twice as much again!
Disgusting guy!
Why would Your Majesty choose such a partner?
In the future, when the Vatican appoints bishops and popes, singlehood must be an important criterion!
Otherwise, no one knows how much damage a powerful but brainless partner could inflict on the Papacy!
The cardinal glared fiercely at Sereos, ready to shout, "Kill this guy if he's unhappy!"
Working day and night like this is worse than being dead!
Amid his loud roar, Sereos silently resumed cutting fruit.
Although the old man's words were unpleasant, he was very perceptive in judging people, so I'll let it go for now.
"Cough cough cough, alright." Ling Yi quickly put down the documents in her hand and looked at the furious old man: "Believe me, the number of one thousand people was definitely decided after my consideration."
"Given our current work efficiency, if we recruit another thousand people, everyone's working hours can be reduced to eight hours." Ling Yi said with a righteous expression, "This is an absolutely safe working time, and it will definitely not tire the administrative staff."
The other cardinal, who had remained silent, looked coldly at Ling Yi: "Your Majesty, do you know that the current officials use spells to concentrate on their work, and they are never distracted for even a second during their work hours?"
"Without the help of spells, they would not be as efficient as they are now."
Ling Yi knew, of course she knew.
That spell was specially developed by her when she saw the officers were exhausted. It's absolutely safe and easy to use, a must-have for every boss!
She asked in confusion, "Can't I just keep using spells?"
what!
The short-tempered old man looked at the magnificent chair behind His Majesty and thought that there was no need to waste time looking for a street lamp; he might as well just hang himself on that chair!
“Eighteen hundred people.” Another cardinal ignored the pope’s ravings and spoke firmly.
In his view, His Holiness the Pope was a more terrifying being than the Demon King.
At least the Demon King only cuts fruit and doesn't force everyone to work.
Their Pope seems to disapprove of anyone having any free time in her presence.
No officer is allowed to be distracted during work; they must be fully focused on their work for a full eight hours...
You should know that even the black mine owners would give their slaves a ten-minute break every two hours. His Holiness the Pope is not even as good as the black mine owners!
If he doesn't fight for the welfare of the officials now, he fears those loyal children will be drained of their work and die in the Papacy.
Ling Yi's eyes widened: "Are you kidding me? Eighteen hundred people? Do you know how poor the Vatican is right now?"
As a pope skilled in calculation, Ling Yi has already meticulously planned out next year's budget. Asking her to spend more gold coins on manpower now is practically a crime!
The Pope issued a dangerous declaration: "I work sixteen hours a day, what do they have to complain about if they only work eight hours?"
The cardinal ignored her and said quietly, "Eighteen hundred men, or I'll hang myself here!"
Hanging the Pope is impossible. After all, although she was stingy, exploited believers, and made each believer work eighteen hours a day, she was truly a good pope who wholeheartedly cared for the good of the Papacy.
Now, let him offer a bloody remonstrance!
“Yes! Me too!” another elderly person said firmly at the same time.
The church doors were slammed shut as they threatened suicide, preventing anyone from seeing what happened afterward.
In short, when the two cardinals walked out of the church again, the quota of 1,800 people had become 1,436.
These numbers, with both whole and fractional parts, perfectly demonstrate the intensity of the tug-of-war between the two sides!
After the two left, Ling Yi lay on the table and laughed nonstop.
These two old men are really interesting.
Sereos placed the fruit from the crystal plate in front of Ling Yi and kissed the top of her head with a smile: "Yi Yi, you're naughty."
They had clearly planned for 1,500 people long ago, but insisted on giving a number of 1,000, which made the two old men jump up and down.
Not only did they anger the old man, they also reduced the number of people by sixty-four.
Oh dear, there is no one more wicked than Yi Yi in this world.
Wouldn't such a person be a better match for their demon race?
Ling Yi finished laughing, then reached out to touch Sereos, pulling him down to bend over and giving him a heavy kiss on the lips to relieve the pressure: "Didn't you feel that the two elders are much more energetic after our discussion?"
The atmosphere in the Vatican has been really oppressive during this time, so isn't this a way for her to relieve the pressure on the two elderly people?
How could there be a pope more radiant than her in this world?
Sereos instantly switched sides: "Well, you've really had a tough time!"
They deserve all this trouble and effort from Yi Yi!
Ling Yi was amused by his lack of stance again, and pushed the documents aside: "Let's go, it's time to see our allies who have been neglected for so long!"
During this period of dramatic changes within the Papacy, the allies remained within the Papacy, secretly observing, hoping to understand the future direction of this behemoth and also to gain a share of its benefits.
Unfortunately, the newly appointed pope, though young, was exceptionally shrewd, leaving them and their backers with no room to maneuver. They could only sigh in despair, wondering if the papacy was truly protected by God.
Kill one pope, and a younger, more capable, and more powerful pope will rise to power.
If any successor to their power had this ability, they would be laughing in their sleep.
