crush the rich

"Not only do I have servants, but I also have my own castle, my own territory, and countless money and treasures. Really, I won't lie to you." Yin Lian said so, stretched out her hand again, revealing the gemstone bracelet on her hand, and said, " If my family has fallen, look, with the jewelry I wear, how can I buy dozens of servants, not even a single entourage... right?"

Although Wika is young, she has a very smart mind. After hearing Yin Lian's words, she felt that this was indeed the case.But because of this, she became more and more puzzled.Because she didn't understand why Yin Lian didn't have a follower around her.

Regarding Wika's question, Yin Lian also patiently explained: "Although my sister has servants, not every servant is trustworthy. There are some things that my sister will not entrust to any subordinate to do, because my sister doesn't trust them... ...Wicka, do you understand?"

Although Wika did not come from a noble family, she usually travels around and has some knowledge. She has also heard some stories about evil slaves murdering their masters - no matter which world they are in, such things will always happen.

Wika involuntarily lowered her voice, as if Yin Lian's servant was nearby, and asked in a low voice, "Sister's servant... will she harm my sister?"

Yin Lian said: "That's not necessarily true. Since they are servants, they are naturally obedient in small matters, but there are always some things that cannot be entrusted to them. Sometimes some people are loyal, but because the price of betrayal is too high, they can get The benefits are not enticing enough."

As she said this, seeing Wika showing a worried expression, she stretched out her hand to touch her head and said, "So, is Wika willing to be someone my sister can trust?"

She originally had a fairy-like appearance, but now she had a gentle expression and bright eyes, and even a little girl like Wika couldn't resist such a temptation.Not to mention, Wika had longed for and admired her very much.

Wika hugged Yin Lian immediately, and said very seriously: "I will be someone my sister can trust. I will never betray my sister in my life."

Yin Lian laughed and said softly, "I believe in Wika."

Then she took Wika's hand and said: "Because Wika is someone my sister can trust, so my sister will send Wika to a better school to learn more skills, because only in this way, Wika will be able to do better in the future." help my sister."

After thinking for a while, Wika still asked hesitantly, "...won't you cause trouble for my sister?"

Yin Lian replied: "Wika, you have to remember one thing - all the troubles in this world are for us to overcome. If we try our best and still can't overcome it, it's just because the time has not come yet. , It means that we still need to continue to work hard. And if we choose to give up at the beginning, then the moment you give up, it has become your eternal limit."

After hearing this, Wika thought for a while, then bit her lip, nodded vigorously, and said, "I understand! I will work hard."

Yin Lian's face suddenly showed a smile of appreciation.

Leaving aside cooking matters, Wika is really a perceptive child, and Yin Lian is full of expectations for her future.

For Yin Lian, Wika and Wenxi are the most ideal agent templates, but at this time they have not yet grown up and cannot take on this important task.But it doesn't matter... because the identity of an agent can be changed and transferred after all, and it is not unique.

The present and the future could have been timed synchronously.

Because of this plan, Yin Lian found some ways to inquire about the relevant rumors about the Countess and Her Royal Highness, and then discovered a lot of interesting things.

There are similarities between Tita and the Age of Empires in the original world, but there are also differences.This is more like a modern kingdom. The society has not been capitalized, but the people live a prosperous life, and small handicraft workshops are slowly taking shape, with some signs of budding.

It has almost reached the standard of living in modern times. In theory, it should have passed the age of great voyages, but the fact is that due to the geographical environment of this world, it is very different from Yin Lian's original world.

The first is the nature of the ocean.

The oceans of Tita's world are very different from Earth's.Yin Lian roughly deduced the shape of the entire planet by collecting maps and restoring the world map.If there is no big error in her deduction, the continent where Tita is located should occupy almost a quarter of the entire planet's area, and it happens to be on a certain side of the planet.

However, it is almost impossible to ascertain whether the surface of the remaining planet is an ocean or another land. There are two reasons-one is because of the composition of sea water, and the other is the magnetic field of the planet.

The continent where Tita is located is the only continent known to Tita and other countries, because almost no one has successfully crossed the sea to the other side of the sea, and the reason is very simple...Because the seawater in the sea has too much mineral content, it is so high that It is almost rare for organisms to survive in it, and even if there is, it will not be eaten by humans due to the toxicity of a large amount of minerals.

Contrary to the ocean, the food and resources on the land are extremely rich, so the Titas are not short of food.

But crossing the sea is very difficult.Because once lost at sea, it is almost impossible for them to find edible food and survive the shipwreck.

The second is the magnetic field problem.No matter which way the continent where Tita is located goes to sea, it is easy to get lost.The planet's magnetic field is very complicated, especially the ocean is like Bermuda everywhere, which makes it several times more difficult for the people of Tita to go to sea than Yin Lian used to, and also makes Tita's handicraft industry very developed, but the shipbuilding industry is still very primitive , because there is not enough interest to motivate them to invest in it.

Therefore, for the people of this world, their world consists of several big countries and more than ten small countries on this continent.

Among the several big countries, Tita is famous for its food, but it is not inferior to others in other aspects.It is said that the aunt of the former emperor, Princess Selia, was a talented and generous queen. When she was 17 years old, the eldest brother of the crown prince was assassinated and died. The queen, who was the crown prince, married her own A distant cousin, a prince who has the right to inherit both Tita and Mengad, and is also enthroned as queen at the same time.

But less than two years after she got married, her husband fell off his horse and died in an accident.At that time, the queen had no children of her own, but she decided not to marry, but to concentrate on governing the country left by her brother and husband.Her Majesty has reigned for ten years, and the current king and his brothers were raised by Her Majesty. At the same time, she developed handicrafts, was active in diplomacy, and strengthened her own country. She is a wise and beloved monarch.

The queen's deeds inevitably reminded Yin Lian of Elizabeth I.But there is still a big gap between the experiences of the two... It's just that there are very subtle similarities in this difference, but I don't know whether it is due to accident or necessity.

Yin Lian couldn't help but think of the delicate atmosphere between Princess Selia and Prince Sal.The two seem to have an extremely close relationship, and they can even be said to be unscrupulous, but she knows...the two are actually guarding against each other, and Princess Selia does have great ambitions.

... I don't know what kind of relationship will be between the Yin family brothers and her if one day they both grow up.

No matter what, Yin Lian doesn't know enough about the history of this country, so she can only listen to the rhetoric on the table.But in any case, at least when it comes to governing, this queen has an excellent reputation and is a very beloved queen.

According to Tita's current situation, Thrall is the first heir, and Selia is the second.Although Tita has produced many wise or powerful empresses, it is still generally a male-first succession system.According to normal circumstances, if Thrall is alive, Selia has no possibility of succeeding to the throne.

But even if she doesn't succeed to the throne, as the only sibling of the future king, Selia can at least be a queen.

...Of course, the premise is that she doesn't want to die.

For this reason, Yin Lian deliberately checked the history books of this world, not only Tita's, but also those of several other neighboring countries, wanting to know that in this world, the heirs who are not the number one How many possibilities will he inherit the throne.

After reading it, Yin Lian felt that Selia was quite promising.Leaving aside the period of war and the assassination of the first in line heir, the way the royal family dies in this continent is as rich and colorful as Yin Lian's original world-those who are gay, those who are on the go, those who fight for the wind and die in a duel... ... I won't say much.There is one more way of death for the Tita royal family than in other countries, which is to try all kinds of dangerous ingredients and then die.

Yin Lian was thoughtful.

Thinking about it, as long as the puffer fish is introduced into this world, maybe half of the Tita royal family will be killed in a few months.

Fortunately, Yin Lian didn't intend to do this.She herself doesn't really want Selia to inherit the throne, because as a partner, she doesn't want the status gap between the two parties to be too large.

... If the gap is too large, it means that she will lose a lot of initiative.

Unless one day she really has enough real power in her own world, she will not choose a country's king or queen as a partner, that would be too dangerous.

In contrast, Miss Berman's background is much more approachable.Miss Boman's title was inherited from her old grandfather. Both of her parents died, and the old Duke was her foster, and he was an upright and kind gentleman.

After the death of the old duke, Earl He Meng coveted Miss Boman's property and beauty, and wanted to force her to marry him, but he couldn't prevent Miss Boman from shedding her shell decisively and directly leaving her territory to settle in the imperial capital. He has shown his talents in the circle of chefs in the imperial capital, and has already gained a lot of fame.

The dispositions, identities, and pursuits of Miss Boman and Princess Selia can be said to be completely different, or even opposite, but they are both worth wooing.

Thinking of this, Yin Lian called Wika and Wenxi's parents, and told them about the idea of ​​sending Wika and Wenxi to study in the imperial capital.
