Master Parker is the third son of Earl Otis, and he has a brother and a sister on his head.

Master Parker's elder brother is a highly praised and outstanding young man in the upper class of the Rhine Kingdom. At the age of Master Parker, he was already able to take over the family business.

Master Parker's elder sister is even known as the first female official in the east—the territory of the Odis family, and the largest city consul is held by Master Parker's elder sister.

Although the Rhine Kingdom also has the bad habit of belittling women, the door of power has never been closed to women from top families; if women in the upper class are so good that they are more valuable than marriage tools, they can also get family support and obtain bureaucratic positions , and even compete for inheritance rights.

With such an excellent brother and sister, Master Parker has never been under any pressure since he was a child. His father, Earl Otis, has been hesitating between the eldest son who is good at dancing and the second daughter who is full of talent for ruling over the years, without even thinking about it. His youngest son.

But no matter how easy life is, Master Parker is also the young master of the Earl's family. After years of exposure, he has a far more political sense than ordinary nobles: he feels very absurd about Yang Qiu's face-to-face request...

Seeing Yang Da's tendency not to give up unless he persuaded them, Master Parker had no choice but to muster up his courage, and said as tactfully as possible: "Dear Yang, I really agree with your opinion...Charlie Rex is an excellent lord, My cousin Dart also raved about Westham's changes..."

"However, there is a difference between a small-town territory like Westham and a Viscounty territory like Earl-Land-Land of Innerdale." Master Parker swallowed and said firmly, " Perhaps, Charlie needs more time to get familiar with the rule of the territory, and then consider going further...at least I think so, so maybe it would be more appropriate."

Master Parker is really doing his best to be tactful——Charlie Rex, an illegitimate son who is not recognized by the Rex family, how can he compete with the Bartles family for the Innad collar? !

Taking a step back, Charlie Rex has been recognized by the Rex family as an illegitimate son, and he is not qualified to compete for the heir; a marginal person who is not even an heir to a title is not qualified at all Start a territorial war!

To ask the Otis family to support this illegitimate child—it's impossible!

Not to mention asking his father this kind of question, his brother and sister would never agree, they would just think it was a fool's dream!

Yang Qiu was not surprised by Master Parker's refusal, and smiled lightly.

In any society where classes have begun to solidify or have solidified, the competition within the social structure and the nature of the power game remain unchanged: the bottom class relies on gambling for reincarnation, the middle class relies on human relationships, and the top class relies on blood kinship.

This is true of the earth, and so is this other world.

In the power game that revolves around territorial fiefdoms and is limited to the top, the blood of the nobles is the only ticket for admission.

But it's not enough to have an admission ticket. After all... the blood of the upper class also has a distinction between upper and lower.

But Yang Qiu doesn't care about this - he just needs to get the admission ticket, and he doesn't intend to dance in other people's game rules!

Yang Qiu nodded with a smile, and said: "I understand your concerns, Master Parker, Rex's identity is indeed not enough compared to the Bartleys' family. But what if the church supports Rex?"

Master Parker suspected that he had heard it wrong: "Whose support?"

"Church, Gold Coin Church." Yang Qiu repeated with a smile.

Master Parker: "...('-')"

Master Parker had a ('-') face, and turned to look at his friend Gray.

Gray: "...(°A°`)"

Master Parker's mouth gradually opened wide: "Church (゜ロ゜)?!"

Yang Qiu smiled and said: "When Rex replaced Baron Marcus as the master of Westem, the Church of Gold Coins has already expressed friendship."

During Baron Marcus's hard work in the city of Innatrix, the Gold Coin Church pretended to be deaf and dumb all the time, acquiescing that Baron Marcus's fief had changed hands—rounded up here by Yang Qiu, it would be regarded as friendly.

Master Parker: "..."

"As for me, as I said before, people in the world have many misunderstandings about me, and these misunderstandings are not true." Yang Qiu said brazenly, "The "Red Wall Farm" incident that has plagued the Gold Coin Church for two years was caused by My people (undead) join forces with the church night watchman to solve it."

Master Parker: "..."

Master Parker felt dizzy again... He taught the night watchman to cooperate with the "Nightmare Butcher", what happened to this world? !

Yang Qiu didn't say to give Master Parker more time to get used to the broken world view, and said in an in-depth manner: "The Bartles family has indeed done a lot of things for Innad, such as protecting this territory from border horse bandits for more than a hundred years. Infestation, this is the indelible feat of the ancestors of the Bartles family."

"However, the glory of the Bartleis family only ends with Adela II." Yang Qiu said without concealing his contempt, "Adela II is an old-fashioned nobleman, although there are many I don’t know what to do, anyway, the Second King will not give up the soldiers who worked hard for him.”

Back then when Yang Qiu passed by Inadili, he had never done anything in Inadeli.

At that time, the lord Inadali and the grandfather of the third king, Adela II, were only compared horizontally by the standards of the feudal aristocrats... he was more like a human being, at least like Baron Marcus, who used the skin and meat business as a pillar industry. It was impossible for the minor nobles to stand out in the era of the Second Emperor.

Master Parker was silent for a while.

Aristocrats like them, in addition to their own history, have to learn and memorize the family histories of other nobles. Of course, Master Parker knows what is going on with the Bartleis family.

In his grandfather's generation, the Otis family was relatively close to the Bartles family, but in his father's generation, the Odis family did not have much contact with the Bartles family... In his father's words , the Bartless family was "increasingly disreputable".

It's not that the upper-middle-class nobles are so moral, but that the nobles who pay attention to it must pay attention to family honor-if they want to do dishonorable things, they have to hide their clumsiness and not give others a chance to chew their tongues.

Master Parker doesn't like Adela III either... It's fine for this guy to mock his cousin Dart in the letter, and he doesn't say that he explained Westham's situation clearly, which caused him to suffer so much fright in just two days. Be threatened face to face by this fearsome black mage!

To have the support of the church to solve the problem of Charlie Rex's low status and not being qualified to launch a territorial war—it seems that it would be nice to watch the Bartles family fall!

Imagining the distressed appearance of that pig-headed III crying bitterly, Master Parker unexpectedly gave birth to some small expectations in his heart...

Of course, Master Parker, who is very politically literate, would not give a clear answer, but said cautiously: "That being the case... please allow me to bring the news back, maybe my father will be interested."

This kind of polite words with a lot of leeway, in Yang Qiu's ears, it means that he agrees.

Yang Qiu smiled and raised his teacup: "Then let me replace red wine with tea and toast the friendship between Rex and the Otis family."

Master Parker wisely refrained from pointing out that the Otis family hadn't decided whether to have a relationship with Rex, and raised his glass with a smile.

Master Parker will never be confused about such a major matter involving family interests: it doesn't matter what you say casually, anyway, the Odis family will definitely not pay a little real money to support an illegitimate child who seems unreliable !

Yang Qiu is older than Master Parker's great-great-grandfather, and has a lot of dealings with nobles. Of course, he knows what this young master is planning...

After letting the young master who thought he was very tight-lipped go back to his room to rest, Yang Qiu turned around and went to find Rex who was busy counting the accounts for the autumn harvest in the next room.

In front of Rex, Ji Tang, and several overtime clerks, Yang Qiu declared openly and openly: "With the verbal support of the Gold Coin Church and an earl, you can justifiably initiate a territory for the Bartleis family. It's war, Rex."

Rex shook his hand and almost knocked down the pile of ledgers on the table.

"You, you, you are talking about war? I started a territorial war?!" Rex said in horror.

"That's right." Yang Qiu said happily, "Ms. Zhao is trying to win the support of the Gold Coin Church for you. It will take time for the young master of the Otis family to send the news back. The declaration of war should be placed after the autumn tax is settled. At this time Let Innadili stand, and by the way, earn a piece of the autumn tax just collected by the Bartleys family."

"Declaration, declaration of war?!" The Rex people were dumbfounded.

"Of course we have to declare war formally. Initiating a war in the name of a war for noble territories, as long as we drive out the Bartleis family, Inadoli will belong to us." Yang Qiu took it for granted, "If a war is not declared, it will be considered illegal. A war of honor, even if we drive out the Bartles family, we still have to face endless security wars, which may involve a third party to intervene, that would be disgusting."

In wars on Earth, no matter what the purpose of the war is, the initiating party will try every means to win a righteous name for itself.

The United States, which covers the sky with only one hand on the earth, has fought Vietnam, Panama, Somalia, Iraq, Libya, and Afghanistan. Regardless of whether they are justified or not, they dare to claim that they are the party that upholds justice and that they are fighting The battle of justice... Every president can't do it if he doesn't have a thick skin.

The ancestors of the Chinese people have played political battles for thousands of years, and they can't feel disgusted with this set of things that their ancestors have played badly in the United States... Anyway, the Chinese people don't tell the truth. Since they know what the war is, they will No matter which country has friction with it, it insists not to fire the first shot, and only fights in self-defense.

The "great war of righteousness" on the earth is not easy to use in this plane. The history of this world can be traced back and verified for too long, and there is no pattern of "one superpower and many powers"; the bottom is ignorant, but the top is all A thousand-year-old fox, using just an excuse to fight a "battle of justice" is a shameless practice that won't work.

So this person from another world simply did not talk about the justice of war, but limited the "qualification" of war-only the king has the right to wage war against the king, and only the nobles have the right to wage war against the nobles; Nobles also cannot declare war on lower nobles.

Only a war of equal status is honorable and accepted by the world, otherwise, a third party has the right to intervene and plunder the victory of the victor.

Rex, who is just an illegitimate child, is not qualified to launch an "honorable" territorial war against the Bartleis family, so let the "recognition" of the church and the Earl of the Rhine Kingdom raise Rex's status and recognize him as a nobleman who is qualified to initiate If he is a qualified lord of the war, then after the Bartles family is driven away, Tarantan will have time to slowly digest the Innatrix territory.

Seeing that Rex was so shocked that his jaw couldn't close, Yang Qiu said dissatisfiedly: "What's your reaction? You don't think you can always be the lord of Westem, do you? The Bartleth family is not Fool, I am not in a hurry to drive you away this year, it's just that the autumn tax is coming, and launching a war at this time is not conducive to paying the autumn tax."

"Pay taxes in October, November at most, and before the end of the year, the Bartleys family will definitely support a certain nobleman with equal status to declare war on Westem. If you don't take the initiative to eliminate hidden dangers, you still want to wait for others to come to your door Come?"
