Lord of the Nation: My talent is 100 million points strong

Chapter 913 Message from the Elders

In the early morning of the next day, after Lei Xiao had completed the daily tasks such as receiving the recruitment order and filling his stomach, he left the territory with Ariel and other main subordinates without stopping.

In the early hours of last night, Lei Xiao received another important message.

That is, including the neutral city in the northern border, all the commercial land trade fairs in the area under his control have received orders from the family to close their doors, and they left the local area overnight with important commodities and money from the trade fair, and went to the commercial land. The family's sphere of influence advances.

And Duke Hanshui's intention of doing this is naturally very clear.

Since the Shanglu family has clearly stood on the opposite side of our side, it will naturally not leave any handle for us to prevent it from being used by us.

Regarding this point, Lei Xiao had already expected it a long time ago, and did not stop it, because Lei Xiao didn't like this little property at all.

Lei Xiao clearly understood that even if they intercepted all of them, it would not change our current situation. Instead, it would leave an excuse for the Shanglu family, which would undoubtedly be detrimental to the plan to support Lin in the next position.

As for the important items in the commercial land fairs in various places, Lei Xiao had already secretly sent someone to buy them all.

"From the very beginning of taking control of each city, I focused on supporting local businessmen, greatly reducing my dependence on foreign capital."

"Moreover, the main customer groups of commercial land fairs in various places are mostly wealthy businessmen and aristocrats, so even if they are all closed, it will not have much impact on local businesses."

"Coupled with the trial operation of the Lord's logistics network, this will subversively enhance my commodity transportation efficiency and commodity circulation rate."

"In short, if Grand Duke Hanshui is still trying to hit my economy by closing the Shanglu Fair, then he is probably thinking too much."

As Lei Xiao thought about it, he had already appeared in the hall of the Lord's Mansion in Fort Ferro with his main subordinates.

Since Lin, Gail, and Kelly all received recall orders from the family, Lei Xiao secretly arranged the three of them here in advance to further discuss the matter of supporting Lin to the position.

"See Lord Lord!"

In the spacious and bright castle hall, the three collateral members of the Shanglu family who had been waiting here immediately stepped forward to salute and said in unison.

"You're welcome, let's get straight to the point."

Lei Xiao waved his hand to signal the knotweed to isolate the hall from the outside world, and nodded to the three of Lin.

"My lord, are you really planning to oust Patriarch Hanshui at this time and let his subordinates replace him?"

I saw a rare nervous look on Lin Sa's white face full of anger, and asked cautiously.

"Yes, this is what I promised you, and I will definitely fulfill it."

Lei Xiao smiled lightly, and immediately said solemnly to Lin: "Besides, this will determine the direction of the war. No matter what, this matter is already imperative."

Lei Xiao took a deep breath slowly, and his eyes were piercing: "The Shanglu family has been suppressed by the direct lineage, and even the collateral lineage that has been ravaged, it's time to stand up."

"Everything is at the command of the lord!"

Hearing Lei Xiao's words, whether it was Lin, or Gail and Kelly at the side, they couldn't help but all looked excited and nodded emphatically.

"Gail, let's talk about the Presbyterian Council of the Shanglu family. After this period of investigation, there should be a lot of new results, right?"

Lei Xiao took the black tea from Ariel and took a sip.

Although the war has been going on, Lei Xiao has not always shelved the matter of supporting Lin to the throne.

Instead, when Gail was subdued, he immediately ordered the branch president, who still had a bit of status in the family, to secretly investigate the internal affairs of the family, especially the relationship between Han Shui and some elders. contradiction.

"Lord Lord, just as you know, the elders of the Shanglu family are composed of 11 elders who are highly respected in the family."

The burly Gail stroked Lei Xiao's chest and saluted, and said like a few treasures: "Among them, there are 5 elders who support Han Shui, 4 elders who are targeted by Han Shui's suppression, and 2 elders who are vacillating. neutral state."

"According to the family rules of the Shanglu family, whether it is the proposal of the patriarch or the proposal of the elders, as long as more than half of the elders support it, it can be passed and implemented."

Gail still maintained his salute posture, and concluded: "For example, if you decide to participate in the power dispute and support the action of the fourth prince, Duke Hanshui must have persuaded at least one neutral elder to agree, so that it can go smoothly."

"In other words, if we want to support Lin's ascension, do we need to persuade the four suppressed elders and the two neutral elders?"

Lei Xiao waved his hand to signal Gail not to be too polite, and continued to listen.

"That's right, my lord."

Gail nodded respectfully, and then reported: "Among them, because of the ruthless suppression methods implemented by Grand Duke Hanshui for many years, the interests of the four opposition elders have been damaged one after another, and their status in the clan has also begun to decline. Even the throne of the elders is already in jeopardy."

"So, from the point of view of my subordinates, as long as they give enough benefits and promises, although it will take a lot of work to persuade the four opposition elders, it will not be too difficult."

Having said that, Gail frowned slightly on his resolute face, and continued: "The problem is those two elders who have always remained neutral."

"These two old guys are cunning and extremely slippery. They have been walking back and forth between Hanshui and the Presbyterian Church all year round, and have gained a lot of benefits. They have always been able to do a job with ease."

Gail frowned even more, and said helplessly, "I'm afraid it will not be an easy task to get these two people to support us."

"Understood, first get rid of the four elders of the opposition, and then focus on winning over the two elders of the neutral faction?"

Lei Xiao snapped his fingers lightly, already having some confidence in his heart.

Compared with the other two great noble families stationed on the border, the Shanglu family, which controls a considerable part of the commercial lifeline of the Lengyan Kingdom, has a much stronger commercial atmosphere, and the merchants care most about the word "profit".

Therefore, it is indeed not impossible to win the support of the elders as long as they give enough benefits to make the other party's heartbeat, and then use some small tricks to win the support of the elders.

After all, the most indispensable thing for our side is a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry and various rare high-end weapons and equipment.

"But having said that, letting Lin, a collateral member whose status is almost negligible in the family, ascend to the position of Patriarch, is something that has never been achieved before. I'm afraid it will never be so easy."

"But just like what I said just now, this matter is imperative, and it will be related to the next life-and-death battle."

Lei Xiao took a deep breath, nodded to his subordinates and said, "Okay, without further ado, let's go to Lionheart City, the main city of the Shanglu family, to have a look. Come on."
