[Chapter 560 Revealing the Secret]
Just as he was thinking about making that kind of fire tool easier to make, his personal guards walked in, “Your Majesty, the envoys from the North want to see you.” It’s only been
a day… Roland was a little surprised, don’t they plan to wait for the Duke to send back Are you ready to directly reject your request?
“Take them to the living room,” he ordered after a moment of silence, “and notify Carter to seal off the diplomatic building and temporarily prohibit members of the envoy from going out
.
”
Forced them to stay.
…
When Roland walked into the living room on the first floor, he found that the person opposite the long table had changed seats. The woman who was supposed to be Cole’s assistant sat in the guest seat, while Cole sat holding a notebook. second seat.
“Your Majesty, greetings to you, I am Edith Kant, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Evernight City, Cole’s sister.” The woman got up and gave a standard noble salute, “This is not the first time we have met, the last time Cole forgot to introduce my identity, please forgive me.”
“Calvin’s daughter?” Roland was startled for a moment, and then he couldn’t help becoming interested, “So you are the leader of the messenger group?”
“Exactly.” She rubbed her chest and said, “Father has entrusted me with full responsibility for this mission, and also handed over the Duke’s letter to me.”
In this era, it is rare for women to participate in politics, let alone a young woman, A woman with outstanding looks.
It can be seen from Edith’s expression that it is obviously not the first time she has dealt with a superior, and she is impeccable in terms of words, deeds and manners.
As for concealing her identity, Roland has realized that this is a trick used by the other party to attract the attention of the negotiators, and she did not conceal it on purpose, but just borrowed the disguise of a woman to let people walk into misunderstandings. It is not deceitful, most nobles will only Consider it an act of fun.
I have to say that this move really works.
“That is to say, you can make decisions on behalf of your father?”
“Yes, Your Majesty, to be precise, he will follow my opinion.”
Really confident answer, Roland looked at Cole who scratched his head and reminded him
, couldn’t help laughing.
“Okay…Miss Edith, so what is the purpose of your meeting?”
Roland thought she would tactfully express that she could not accept such a condition, or take other more “interesting” methods to try to withdraw the new law. But she didn’t expect that she took out a notebook from the shoulder bag behind her and spread it out on the table—it was the brochure he had written.
“I have some questions to ask you,” Edith said bluntly, “You said that the reason why the enfeoffed nobles will be eliminated sooner or later is that the central power continues to expand, but without the assistance of the nobles, what method do you use to ensure effective management? What about the vast kingdom?”
Is this… Want to discuss current affairs with yourself?
Looking at her sincere eyes, Roland realized that the other party was serious.
He hadn’t heard such an interesting question for a long time.
“It’s the people and the advancement of technology.” After pondering for a while, he replied.
“Are you referring to those free people? What is technological progress?”
“That’s right, a management team that is trained by the city hall, pays salaries and administrative expenses by the city hall, and provides manpower and supporting facilities. It doesn’t matter whether you are a noble or not because you have strong assets or rich manpower.” Roland began to explain what a centralized government should look like, and how ordinary people can be promoted, and then talked about the practical significance of technology for territorial control. This lecture lasts for half an hour.
“How do you plan to avoid malfeasance by administrative officials far away from the royal capital?”
“After the unification of Graycastle, how should the trade be distributed?”
“Can productivity really be used as a measure of policy?”
“…” The
more you ask, Yi Diss’s eyes became more and more sparkling, until it was close to noon, she let out a long breath, “So, you really didn’t write the opening remarks casually.”
Roland also took a sip of tea contentedly, as a professional For those who are not in the right mouth, his political reserve knowledge can probably only be mentioned to this extent.
“Thank you for your answer. I didn’t expect you to tell me this in such detail.”
“The most basic requirement of a city hall in the new era is to publicize the policy. Everyone must clearly understand the content of the new policy, so that it will not be strange when it is implemented.”
Edith nodded and changed the subject, ” Can you provide steam engine production equipment and personnel to the Northern Territory?”
“The personnel are currently not available, because Neverwinter City is also in short supply, but you can send people to study, provided that the nobles of the Northern Territory give up their enfeoffment rights and follow the instructions of the city hall Management.”
“Can you also teach paddle boat construction technology?”
“Of course, as long as you pay the golden dragon, these are not problems. But without the help of the witch, it will be difficult for you to move the entire production line to the north in a short time.”
“Your Frankly, I am surprised, Your Majesty,” she thought for a while, “but I don’t understand one thing, according to your plan, as long as you wait another ten years, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com can easily annex the entire Graycastle, then There is no resistance at all to promote the New Deal, and there is no need to care about our thoughts, why are you so eager?”
Roland fell silent, and it took a while before he said, “Do you really want to know the answer?”
Edith probably didn’t expect it He would answer so solemnly, “Yes.”
“Then come with me,” he said, “I’ll show you something.”
Stepping
into the tree-covered backyard, Roland took Yi Tees went into the wooden shed in the middle of the olive grove.
The amputated devil lay flat on a long table, beside which there were piles of various bottles and jars. Agatha was making the final preparations for drawing blood.
“By God, what is this—what?” Edith whispered in disbelief, but Roland noticed that there was only shock on her face, not fear.
“I should lock this shed, and let the leaves surround the yard.” Agatha frowned, “Don’t tell me that you plan to let a mortal participate in the making of the sigil. If I am fusing the god stone, I probably have failed. gone.”
“Of course not…just right away,” Roland coughed twice, then turned his head and introduced to Edith, “The alien creatures in front of you are the legendary devils, they haunt the north of the Impassable Mountains, and they are also people who are about to be killed by humans. The biggest enemy we face—the war between the two clans has nothing to do with territory and wealth, but to determine who can continue, and the loser will perish completely.”
“The devil? A war that decides to continue?” She couldn’t help muttering.
