Chapter 638: Impeachment of Gale
After hearing this question from Gozewen, Jacob paused for a moment.
Then he said in a deep voice:
"Something went wrong with His Highness Gale..."
"Gale...?"
After hearing his son's name, Gozewen became more alert and opened his half-open eyes wider.
"What happened to Gale...? Did the bandits riot...?"
After the anti-bandit corps went to the west and pacified the banditry in the west, a large number of bandits chose to surrender.
For these surrendered bandits, the empire decided to make the best use of them - send them all to the east to build roads.
And the person who was responsible for bringing these western bandits to the east and supervising and managing them to repair the eastern straight road was Gale.
After hearing that something went wrong with Jacob Gale, Gozewen subconsciously thought that the bandits who were going to be taken to the east to build roads had rioted.
"...No."
As soon as Gozewen finished speaking, Jacob shook his head and continued:
"Yes...the officials who accompanied His Highness Gale and assisted His Highness Gale in managing the bandits jointly wrote a letter to impeach His Highness Gale..."
Then, Jacob handed the quick report that had just been delivered to him, and his face turned bad instantly after reading it, to Gozewen.
Although Gozewen was seriously ill now, he was not so sick that he could not even read a quick report.
After taking the quick report from Jacob, Gozewen quickly read it.
"Ah..."
After reading it, Gozewen sighed.
"I have read countless similar impeachments against Gale over the years..."
Then, Gozewen, with a slightly annoyed look on his face, threw the impeachment letter against Gale aside.
This impeachment letter severely criticized Gale's actions after he took over the responsibility of moving the bandits to the east and supervising and managing them to repair the eastern straight road.
According to this impeachment letter, after receiving this task, Gale did take it very seriously, and it took much less time than expected to move the bandits from the west to the east. After moving them to the east, the supervision of repairing the straight road was also done well.
However, Gale was too strict with these bandits and his officials.
The bandits and the officials who were responsible for assisting Gale complained.
In a word, Gale did not treat these bandits as human beings.
He kept forcing them to march quickly and drove them to the east of the empire like animals.
And Gale was also extremely strict with the officials who were responsible for assisting him.
Under Gale's high-pressure management, the officials worked very efficiently, and the speed of the bandits' eastward migration was much faster than expected.
But the price paid was that the officials were overwhelmed, and some even had health problems due to excessive pressure.
Nearly 1 in 10 bandits died on the road before reaching the eastern part of the empire.
After arriving in the eastern part of the empire and starting to build roads, Gale still did not treat the bandits as human beings, and kept forcing them to work overloaded.
Under such intense work intensity, several or even a dozen bandits died almost every year.
This made the officials who were responsible for assisting Gale to supervise and manage the bandits in building roads unbearable.
Many officials suggested to Gale that Gale should not be so harsh on the bandits and reduce the intensity of the bandits' work.
Then after hearing the officials' suggestions, Gale did not agree, and still did his own thing, still managing and exploiting these bandits with high pressure.
The officials who had no choice could only unite to write this impeachment letter that had just been delivered to Jacob and Gozewen, impeaching Gale's brutal actions.
If there were no army accompanying them, the bandits would have rioted countless times.
After throwing the impeachment letter against Gale aside, Gozewen closed his eyes with a tired and painful look on his face, muttering:
"Since Gale tried to handle government affairs, similar impeachments have never stopped..."
"From the beginning, I have heard many officials complain privately that they don't want Gale to be their boss anymore."
"Over the years, no matter what I did, no matter what I did, I couldn't make Gale restrain his brutal temper..."
After that, Gozewen let out a long sigh full of fatigue and depression.
Jacob, who had been waiting beside him, had a blank expression from just now.
After listening to what Gozewen said, Jacob said in a deep voice:
"Gozewen, His Highness Gale is not cruel."
"Gale is just inhumane, and he is also very serious, even a little too serious."
"He takes himself and the things at hand too seriously."
"At the same time, because of the lack of humanity, he lacks basic care for others."
"That's why everyone who works under him is so miserable."
"That's why everyone who works under him is so eager... to change a new boss..."
As soon as Jacob started talking, Gozewen opened his eyes that were originally closed a little, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly:
"Inhumane and too serious... This evaluation is really appropriate for Gale... Alas..."
After that, Gozewen sighed tiredly again.
Looking at Gozewen, who was now tired and in pain, Jacob pursed his lips.
In order to cheer Gozewen up a little, Jacob decided to tell Gozewen something that would make him happy, so that he could cheer up a little.
"Gozewen." Jacob said to Gozewen, "The anti-bandit army will probably be able to return to Balagon tomorrow, and Her Highness Elsa will be back soon."
"Elsa..." After hearing this name, Gozewen's eyes, which had been closed, opened again.
"Finally, I can reunite with my granddaughter who has been away for a long time." Jacob smiled at Gozewen.
"...Yes, it's been a while since I saw Elsa..."
Jacob didn't notice it at this time.
When Gozewen heard Elsa's name just now, a few strange colors flashed in his eyes... ... ... At the same time. Britannia Empire, North, Avalon Fortress, Elisa's home. "Sister, you've been acting weird lately..." Hazel half-closed her eyes and looked at Alyssa, saying this to her. "Huh?" Alyssa blinked, "Why am I acting weird..." "Recently, I've always felt that you've been absent-minded... Are you worried about something?" "No, nothing..." Alyssa, who was not good at lying, looked away and hesitated. Stare... Hazel, who was not easily fooled by Alyssa's words, continued to stare at Alyssa with suspicion. Alyssa, who was a little scared by Hazel's gaze, immediately stood up with a "whoosh": "Ah, ah! The weather is so good today! I'm going out for a walk!" After that, Alyssa ran away without waiting for Hazel to answer, and fled from her and Hazel's home. Hazel didn't even have the chance to call her. The military genius came to another world with Zizhi Tongjian ww.50040/
