The years when I was a nobleman in the world of Terra

"Didn't the solution be told to you and Earl Devos a long time ago?"

Charlotte was a little puzzled.

"Just do it like you do in a private factory. My method has the same effect on workers and farmers."

"Of course my father is using your method. The enthusiasm of the farmers has indeed increased a lot, and they have begun to be grateful to our father and son."

Del continued.

"But what my father means is, can the farmers work more efficiently, because he needs to send the grain to a certain place quickly recently."

"Send somewhere?"

Charlotte glanced at Del. Although he said that he never expected capitalists and nobles to be benevolent people, if it was really as he imagined, the hearts of the two fathers and sons were really too dark.

"Are you planning to stock up on food and then play with rare goods?"

The farmers got three times their wages, thinking they could improve their living standards, but found that the price of food had actually increased by four times.

Poor shirt is single, worrying about charcoal and wishing it will be cold.

It would be too sad if farmers couldn't even afford the grain they grew with their own hands.

"If you really want to play like this, don't expect me to give you any good ideas."

It is certainly not an easy task to be able to hug the thick thigh of Earl De Vos, but Charlotte used to be a surgeon by profession, and he has his own principles in both work and life.

What's more, if Linguang really knows that he has done such a wicked thing in the future, he probably won't have to expect her to become his significant other for the rest of his life.

"Hey, Brother Charlotte, what are you talking about, I have been reading the books you gave me all the time, okay?"

Del said a little dissatisfied.

"And the Grand Duke has made a law a few years ago, grain can only be sold at the price set by the Grand Duke. This law is very important to the Grand Duke. In the past two years, an earl broke the law and was directly punished by the Grand Duke. Stripped of his title."

"So it is."

Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then what are you hoarding food for? It's easy to go bad after a long time, right?"

"I really don't know about that."

Del shrugged slightly.

"My father just asked me to come over and ask Brother Charlotte for a solution, but he didn't tell me the specific reason. But if I remember correctly, it seems that a subordinate of a certain prince came to my father a few days ago , maybe it has something to do with this matter."

Prince's subordinate?Hoarding food?

When these two keywords were connected together in Charlotte's mind, he suddenly thought of something that made him feel a little creepy.

Even though the sun was shining high above her head now, Charlotte was still breaking out in a cold sweat on a hot day. Because she was a little scared, she couldn't help shivering.

"Brother Charlotte, are you alright?"

Noticing that something was wrong with Charlotte's expression, Del was a little worried.

"Are you feeling unwell, or we'll just wait here, and I'll send someone to call the carriage over."

"It's okay to call the carriage to come over. I'm in good health, and there's nothing uncomfortable about it."

Charlotte waved his hand, and then his eyes moved to the large piece of unharvested wheat beside him.

"Let me tell you the way to improve farmers' work efficiency first."

Charlotte stabilized her emotions.

"You can do it too, but it's better to be Earl De Vos, bring a little cold water or steamed buns, and bring them there when the farmers are working."

"Ah, can it be that simple?"

Del was taken aback for a moment.

"Just bring the steamed buns and cold water over there?"

"Remember to have a better attitude. If you don't mind, just chat with the farmers."

Charlotte added another sentence.

"Don't ask me why, just do it, and the effect should be very good."

In order to give full play to the subjective initiative of the farmers, it is of course necessary to fill the chicken soup appropriately. As for the unfair oppression of charging three times the money but having to do four times the work, it is not something Charlotte should consider. up.

You say capitalists should have a conscience?

Please, for things like capital, from the day of birth, blood and cruelty flow from even the pores.If it were any other nobleman, let alone three times the salary, the peasants would be beheaded if they couldn't complete the task on time.

So after explaining the method she gave to Del, Charlotte didn't focus on improving the enthusiasm of farmers for production. From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Miss W who always appeared at the right place at the right time, Charlotte asked softly.

"Why hoard wheat if it's not for sale?"

"About this question, don't you already have an answer, Little Charlotte?"

Instead of answering Charlotte's question directly, w asked Charlotte instead.

"Of course I can express my opinion, but will you really refer to my opinion, little Charlotte?"

"You say it first, and I will make a judgment later."

"War, what else can it be?"

W said a conclusion that was not at all plain in a plain tone.

"Only when a war is launched, will there be a need to stockpile food. It can't be said that a certain prince of Casimir is an alcoholic and wants to use a lot of food to make bars."

"Then I wish he was really an old drunk who wants to make wine."

Charlotte sighed unrecognizably, and said softly in a voice that only he and W could hear.

"Could it be that the emperor of Ursus can't bear it anymore and wants to tear up the armistice agreement in advance?"

"It's not necessarily that Ursas wants to unilaterally tear up the armistice agreement."

W told the information he had just obtained recently.

"I heard that the Grand Duke of Casimir is going to issue a decision recently."

"What kind of decision?"

"The decision to select a successor."

"The decision to select a successor?"

Charlotte's brows were slightly frowned, and when he heard W say this in a normal tone, a somewhat ominous premonition had already arisen in his heart.

Money touches people's hearts. When facing huge wealth, there are not many people who can be firm in their hearts without wavering, let alone the high throne that controls everything in a country.

Xia Luo felt that her worry was justified, because countless historical facts had proved this point long ago, whether it was Yuan Benchu ​​and his three sons, or the story that had to be told between Tang Taizong and Xuanwumen , or the nine sons of Emperor Kangxi staged the nine sons seizing the throne. When facing the supreme position that can have everything, even brothers have no sympathy to speak of.

"W, can you tell me more about it?"

"Well, it's okay, anyway, you will definitely know in the future."

The Sarkaz girl shrugged slightly.

"It's probably because the Grand Duke doesn't want to decide who is the successor of Casimir according to the order of seniority. He wants his three sons to govern a piece of land, and then judge each person's ability according to the final governance situation. Qiang's son can become Casimir's true heir."

"...Are you sure that Grand Duke Casimir is in the right mind?"

"Little Charlotte, if Xiao Linguang hears your words, when she wants to beat you to death, sister, I won't take action."

"No, I won't say whether Linguang will fight or not. This decision can only be made by people with abnormal brains."

It is no problem for capable people to become heirs. This is indeed a very advanced concept of modern people, but for the current Casimir, such an approach is simply not suitable.

First of all, the first point is that the reality is not playing games. Even if Grand Duke Casimir can be as unbiased as possible, there is no way to guarantee that every prince gets the same land and resources.The second is the second point. What is the difference between the Grand Duke's approach and letting his three sons fight each other? On the surface, it is to test the ability of the three princes to govern the country, but who can guarantee that in this process, There won't be some of the contestants playing dirty tricks - I may not be able to be the first, but as long as there are no other contestants, I must be the first. This is not a particularly difficult reason to understand.

The third point is also the point that Charlotte is most worried about.The Grand Duke sent the princes out to govern one side separately. This military power should be more or less given away. After the results of the selection come out, will the two princes who were not selected really be willing to give up the battle for the throne? Can they really admit defeat when they are in military power?

So to sum it up.

"Grand Duke Casimir has eaten too many brain fragments?"

"What are brain fragments?"

"It's not the point what the brain fragment is."

Charlotte sighed.

"W, let me ask you, where did you hear this news?"

"I said that I sneaked into the room of Grand Duke Casimir, and then peeked at the news, little Charlotte, do you believe it?"

W blinked at Charlotte's face.

"I believe, because you really have the possibility and the ability to do such a thing."

Charlotte nodded and looked up at the blue sky and white clouds above his head. He was thinking, can he really live a stable life in this increasingly windy and windy land?

ps: updated to!

ps: Although the results are not good, I still hope to get the support of everyone!

Chapter 16 No.16 Meeting

If possible, Charlotte would of course want some private space and time to digest the latest news she got, and then think about what she should do next.

It's just that although there is a distance between the outer manor and the main castle, it will be finished after all, and with so many people around, Charlotte can't calm down and think at all, so he just It may be temporarily.

Del led the way, while Charlotte and the two girls walked behind. Soon, the group of them stopped in front of a castle that was much more magnificent than Charlotte's house.

"Brother Charlotte, let's go in directly."

This is not the first time Charlotte has visited the castle of Earl De Vos's family, but compared to the last time, the situation this time is a bit different.

Last time he came alone, and he waited for a long time at the gate of the castle before he walked into the gate of the castle accompanied by several guards.But this time, not only did he not need to wait at the gate of the castle, even the guards who had treated him indifferently last time showed him flattering smiles.

This is probably the benefit of successfully hugging thick thighs, otherwise his status as a small viscount would not be enough to change the attitude of the guards so much.

But in general, Charlotte is quite satisfied with these changes. If you can see a smiling face, no one would want to watch others show a Sima face to you every day.

After crossing the gate of the castle, they arrived at the interior of the castle. Del led Charlotte and his party to the reception room inside the castle.

What came into view was the large black and white portrait hanging on the wall. Charlotte knew that it was the first Earl of De Vos, who was also Del's great-grandfather.Next to this large portrait are two smaller black-and-white portraits of Del's grandfather and Del's father, and there is no portrait of Del, because he has not technically inherited DeVos title of earl

"Brother Charlotte, I actually think these portraits are really stupid."

Del whispered in Charlotte's ear.

"Why do you want to hang your selfie on the wall when you are so good?"

"It's okay, but it's not too outrageous."

Charlotte shrugged slightly.

Anyway, he wouldn't say that in the Great Heaven where he used to live, black and white selfies would be hung on the wall only when people died.

"crunch-"

Del pushed open the door of the living room.

"Father, I brought Viscount Charlotte and the others over."

"Welcome, brother Charlotte, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Since they are father and son, they must be similar in appearance, but compared to Del, who always has a slight disdain on his face, Earl De Vos has a faint smile on his face, and his tone is quite gentle. can give people a pretty good feeling

"Earl Devos, I am also very happy to see you again."

Charlotte hurried forward and had an "affectionate" hug with Del's father.

"Brother Charlotte, I am also very glad to meet you again."

After a short greeting, Charlotte, the two girls and Earl Devos and his son sat down respectively.Then Earl De Vos clapped his hands lightly, and soon a maid served a rich meal.

Charlotte and the two girls had breakfast, and he also felt that Earl De Vos and his son should have had breakfast as well.But how should I put it, for the nobles of Casimir, sometimes face is more important than anything else, even if everyone has eaten breakfast, there must be some ostentation .

As the saying goes, the smell of wine and meat in the Zhumen, and the frozen bones on the road, are nothing new since ancient times.

Toasted bread with butter, roasted whole chicken with jam, a whole wild boar leg and a large piece of grilled steak are very local dishes of Casimir, but it is a pity that for Charlotte, who has already filled her stomach, these rich dishes The dishes did not arouse his appetite at all.

So there was such a weird scene in the living room. There were many rich dishes on the table, but neither the host nor the guests had any intention of eating.
