Lord of Lowland

Chapter 227
Thinking of this, Cecil said to Earl Kashikud with a sad face: "My lord, I am not in charge of the family and I don't know that money is expensive. The affairs of the territory require money at every turn. Those damned citizens, soldiers and businessmen are like Followed me around like a vampire. There is only one thing every day, and that is chasing me for money! How can I have so much money? I have been engaged in the territory for more than half a year. The little savings I have accumulated through taking risks and working so hard have all been lost, thinking about it is really not worth the loss." Cecil kept crying to the Earl, hoping that the Earl could understand his difficulties and not be too mean to himself.

Earl Kasikude laughed after hearing Cecil's statement: "Master Baron, you are too modest to say that. The kingdom has conducted investigations on the territories of your deputy officials. You are a lord, and your territory is developing. It's the best, and it's unexpectedly good, there will be something like a commercial guild, to be honest, my territory is 10 times larger than the comparable territory, but there is no similar thing. It can be seen Your business is not generally good, similar things can only appear in the main cities of duke-level figures, it can be seen that after the abolition of the proxy system, your territory has really developed rapidly."

When Cecil heard this, he knew that Count Kasikud had some misunderstandings. He thought that the reason why his territory developed so well was because he did not use the agency system and could concentrate on the construction of the territory, so he could develop so well. In fact, he also made several windfall fortunes outside, which the Earl could not have imagined.In particular, the money and resources he gained from the battle with the Ultimate Seven-Headed Snake far exceeded the resources needed to build a small town, so he could develop so well. In fact, Cecil is not very strong in terms of management ability. Yacheng developed in a rough manner by throwing money at investment, without any management ability. The Earl actually fell into a big misunderstanding, but Cecil was too embarrassed to point it out.

Not only did Cecil not point it out, but he continued to follow the Earl's meaning: "Actually, I'm not very good at managing towns. If it comes to personal combat effectiveness, I still have a little confidence in myself, but when it comes to management ability, I'm definitely not as good as you." Lord Earl, just in case, if Lord Earl can get rid of the restriction of the acting official system, then I think the output of Lord Earl's territory will be much higher than mine."

Cecil's strategy is also very simple. He tries to attribute the development of his territory to the degree of freedom of his own policy, which attracts the envy of the earl, and makes the earl think more about how much his own territory will be once he can manage it himself. Be great, not be jealous of others.

Sure enough, after hearing Cecil's words, Count Kasikud fell into long contemplation. After a moment of silence, he smiled and said to Cecil: "There is a banquet tonight, Ophelia and I Lina is going to participate, you can also go together, the participants are all celebrities, it is very good for you, do you want to go?"

Of course, Cecil would not refuse this kind of social activity. I thought that when Ofelina attended the banquet in the palace, I could only attend it as Ophelina's entourage knight. I didn't expect that I could participate in the banquet tonight. As an equal, I went to participate with the Earl and Ophelina.Cecil immediately said happily: "Thanks to the Earl who thinks highly of me and allows me to attend, of course I have no reason to refuse, but I don't know what the dinner is for tonight?"

"Oh, it's just a small banquet. It's just a gathering of close friends and friends to talk about the world. This kind of banquet happens often, almost once a week. Tonight is at the Duke of Fatham's mansion. You are ready to prepare it. In the evening, we will meet together Set off."

Duke Fatam, isn't that Count Kasikud's brother-in-law?The Earl's eldest son not only went to Duke Fatam's only daughter, but also stepped in and changed his surname from Kasikud to Fatam. This shows that Earl Kasikud and Duke Fatam The depth of the relationship.Not only that, Duke Fatam is also the teacher of Prince Rex and the chief minister of the prince.It stands to reason that this position is extremely honorable, but it has been a bit difficult recently, because from all aspects, the reputation of the second prince Lucas is much better than him.Regardless of the king himself, most of the nobles and even Princess Freya hope that Prince Lucas can inherit the throne, so the existence of Prince Rex suddenly becomes quite embarrassing, and Duke Fatam who relies on him It also seems that some days are sad.

Although he has nothing to do with these two princes, both Prince Rex and Prince Lucas have only met once at the canonization ceremony and have no contact at all, but in the kingdom's camp division, he has been regarded as They were divided into Prince Rex's faction. This was of course because of the relationship chain from Duke Fatam to Count Kasikud and then to himself. People naturally classified themselves into Prince Rex's faction.

Cecil felt a little overwhelmed by this, and was divided into factions without doing anything. However, Cecil was not uncomfortable with this division, although the second prince Lucas now occupies an absolute position. However, Cecil believed that no matter who became the king, he would not use him for his own strength, not to mention that he was only assigned to the faction of Prince Rex, so he had plenty of time to explain the truth.But going to the Duke of Fatam's party now is different. This proves that he and Prince Rex's team have taken another step forward, and there is less room for him to open and close.

But even so, Cecil didn't hesitate much, because although Prince Lucas might be better, it was because he was so good that he would become a strong prince, while Rex was in a weak position. There were not many resources mobilized. If he became the king as he wished, it would be good news to the vast number of nobles. Only when he arrived here did Cecil realize that he had actually made suggestions for Prince Rex. Is it a little too impatient?I don’t know this prince yet, so I am too anxious to think about him. In fact, this is very easy to explain. That is, Cecil thinks that Prince Rex becoming the king is in his own interests, so he can’t help but start to make suggestions for him. got up.
