Chapter 1261

Ariel's face showed some embarrassed expression and said, "is that so? But there are many things in the city... "

Ruichi quickly waved his hand, as if he was afraid that these things would pull him, and hurriedly said, "you can solve these things yourself! I believe in your ability, you can! Hahaha, I just have to lie down and collect the money. All other matters are up to you! "

Hearing this, Ariel finally stopped talking. She smiled and saluted the Lord slowly. However, this does not mean that her topic will end here. In order to prevent Norris, who has always wanted to speak next to her, she glanced at the young and handsome noble behind and said, "excuse me, is this...?"

After talking to Ariel, Ruichi became familiar and quickly introduced: "ah, let me introduce you! This is the mayor of Pelican city and the president of mermaid song Association, Miss Ariel Garcia! As for this one, he is the Lord of a town in the next province, Baron Jason. You know each other. "

Hearing the name "Jason", Ariel immediately matched the name with the impression in her mind. Soon she found a match among the names of many lords in the mouth of the prisoners.

Immediately, the smile on her face became more brilliant, took the initiative to reach out, smiled and said, "it's Baron Jason? I've long heard that Mr. Jason is a very handsome man. I'm really surprised to see you today. You must have many girls like it? "

Jason seemed a little stunned after seeing Ariel with his own eyes. While she was talking just now, the Baron was constantly looking at the beautiful girl in front of her, even stunned.

Now, after seeing Ariel stretch out his hand, he suddenly regained his mind, walked forward with a smile, held Ariel's hand, bent down, kissed her middle finger back gently, and said slowly: "with Miss Garcia's beauty, there must be many men who show their kindness to you on weekdays, right? After seeing you today, I understand that your Highness the second prince is really blessed. He can not only marry the first beauty recognized by the blue bay Empire, but also have a woman with both wisdom and beauty like you as a mistress. To tell you the truth, at the beginning, I heard these two Viscount praise your beauty, but I didn't believe it and felt that it was exaggerated. But now it seems that the two Viscount gentlemen's description of you is not as good as your real one. "

Ariel took back her hand, took out a small fan from her arms, opened it, covered her lips, giggled and said, "you really flatter me."

Seeing Ariel constantly making jokes and turning the topic to the angle of various greetings, Norris on the side couldn't wait any longer. He quickly took advantage of the temporary interruption of the topic and said, "let's not just stand here and talk, but find a place to sit down and have a good chat? Miss Ariel, I have some interesting news about making money. I'm sure you will be interested. "

Although she didn't know what the hell was going on in these people's hearts, Ariel also knew that her avoidance was not the way after all.

There's no way. Now I can only agree, nod, let Norris lead the way and find a place to sit down.

In one corner of the garden, the element lights here are a little darker than those in other places. There is a white round table that seems to have been prepared for a long time. There is a soft cushion on the exquisitely carved birch chair, and some refreshments have been put on the table.

Seeing this posture, Ariel also knew that these people must be thinking about something very important now.

"Miss Ariel, first of all, congratulations on becoming the mayor of Pelican city. I have a small gift for you."

As he spoke, Norris snapped his fingers, and the servant next to him immediately presented a small box and placed it in front of Ariel.

Ariel looked at the small box. After a moment of silence, she reached for it and opened it.

Inside is a light cyan bracelet made in the shape of a mermaid. It looks like a lot of fish swimming with a mermaid, with warm color and soft texture.

"This is a bracelet made of dark green steel. It's a small gift. It's no respect."

Ariel was slightly stunned. She looked at the bracelet repeatedly and said, "made of Xuanqing steel? The price... Isn't it cheap? I remember that just a piece of second-class black green steel needs 20 or 30 gold. If such a piece of dark green steel is made into a bracelet and has such good workmanship... "

Norris waved his hand and said with a smile, "Oh! Miss Ariel, you are welcome. This is a small gift! No matter how expensive the price is, isn't it a gadget worth a few dollars in front of you? This is just a small token of my heart. Please don't be polite to me any more. "

Although Ariel thought it was a little bad to accept it like this, they had already sent it to her, and she had accepted so many gifts from others before. If she didn't accept such a thing, it would be too considerate

After thinking about it, she smiled, put the bracelet on her wrist and looked at it.

The cassava in the back came up to look at the bracelet and nodded: "it's really beautiful."

Ruichi laughed and clapped his hands, "I'll tell you! Our president is beautiful, well built, young and promising. No matter what he wears, he is so beautiful! Ariel, just listen to my advice. In the future, remember to dress up more, wear more beautiful clothes and jewelry. You are such a beautiful woman. What do you look like without dressing up all day? And when you pretended to be a man before, the whole person was dirty and dusty from top to bottom, and your face was often gray. How can you cover up your appearance? What a pity! "

Ariel tilted her mouth a little, smiled awkwardly, nodded and said, "I know. I'll dress up more in the future. Viscount Ritchie, can you not say these words in front of so many people in the future? I always feel like an old father disciplining his daughter when you say such words. "

Ruichi liked to hear this. He patted the table again and said with a smile: "yes, yes! That's right! In terms of age, I am qualified to be your father! Dad cares about his baby daughter. What's wrong with being beautiful and cute? Jason, you don't know how bad this little girl looked before! She is wearing a very big and thick hat. She is wearing ugly clothes that seem to be integrated with the loess. Her face is black and yellow. She even emits the smell of fertilizer in the cultivated land from time to time! Oh, I can't imagine just thinking about it. How did she stick to it? "

Sister Sen also smiled and said, "so, Miss Ariel has had a very unbearable experience?"

A terrible experience?

Ariel's mind suddenly clicked.

But she couldn't continue to think about it. Jason continued, "but think about it, life in the past was bitter. No matter what you do, you need to pay some. Only after hard work can we have such a good life to continue to enjoy, right? "

At this point, Ariel's mind suddenly had a trace of vigilance. Just because she was alert, her smile became sweeter and said with a smile: "brothers, and the Viscount Ruichi, who claims to be my father, what are you pulling me here to say? Should not... Really want to judge me? "

Viscount Norris quickly waved his hand and said with a smile, "where, where! Today, I invited Miss Ariel here mainly to have a good chat and heart to heart! There were some misunderstandings between us before, but now, I hope such misunderstandings can be lifted. From now on, we can all open our hearts to each other! Right? "

Ariel straightened up one arm, supported her head, looked at Viscount Norris with bright eyes, continued to look at him with that sweet smile and said, "if I can, I also hope to have a complete truce with you. In the past, some places had no choice but to make money and survive. "

Ruichi nodded hurriedly, "yes! Don't you understand everything when you talk about such things? "

Viscount Norris coughed, probably thinking the heat was coming, and finally said——

"Miss Ariel, I want to talk to you from the bottom of my heart. Now... You are also the mayor of Pelican city. Your identity is naturally different. You are no longer the former president of the small guild, but an aristocrat with identity, status and dignity. "

Ariel's face was still smiling. Such a smile made Norris wonder what the girl was thinking for a moment, but he continued——

"So you're on our side, aren't you? So, just say what you said about the scenes of those civilians before. I also know it's not easy for you to rule those fools, but sometimes you really don't have to lead fire to our own people if you want to transfer contradictions. "

Originally, Ariel thought that these nobles finally had something to trouble themselves.

But unexpectedly, the noble really "revealed his heart" to himself and said what he had been depressed these days.

At that moment, the smile that she was still maintaining could not be stretched immediately and faded slowly.

Viscount Norris continued, "you see, we've all discussed it before. Fool! In daily life, if something goes wrong, there will be resentment and ideas. These are normal. Just like Baron Jason, the citizens in the villages and towns under his leadership will have ideas and grievances. "

"But Baron Jason can guide these grievances to other cities rather than provoke them on himself."

At this time, Jason also spoke immediately and then said, "yes, Miss Garcia. This is a very simple job. If you find it difficult to subdue the people under your rule, you can tell them that the reason why they are not doing well now is that someone in other cities and other regions robbed their wealth, which makes their life so bad. "

"If you really don't have the heart to involve other cities... You can also throw the pot on my head. You can say that it's the problem of other cities. The workers in those cities robbed their food, work and land. Believe these words, with Miss Garcia's wisdom, you can't think of it? "

Hearing this, Ariel was a little surprised. Her hand no longer supported her head and said slowly, "lead the evil water to you? Is that all right? "

Jason smiled and said, "in fact, everyone does this. If your people have complaints, they say it's my problem. If my people have problems, they say they are others' problems, and if others have problems, they say they are yours. Anyway, as long as the people under us feel that their bad life is completely bad for people in other cities, that's all. "

Hearing these words, Ariel was a little frightened. She couldn't help covering her chest and said, "but... If you really criticize each other like this, won't those people attack each other? Does it matter that someone under your leadership is dead? "

For Ariel's words, Norris and Jason, as old aristocrats, couldn't help looking at each other and all showed an interesting smile.

Ruichi next to him was also in doubt. He nodded and said, "yes, yes, if these people are dead, isn't it troublesome?"

Norris laughed as if he had heard something very funny.

After laughing twice, he clapped his hands and said, "sure enough, our Miss Garcia has just become mayor. Some things are really not very clear what to do. Mr. Jason, would you like to talk to our beautiful mayor? "

Jason nodded, then with a serious but funny expression, he stretched out his hands, patted the table and said with a smile: "in fact, it's very simple to manage these people. As long as they feel that we nobles are high above, kind and kind-hearted. If there are any problems under our management, it must be that we great good people have been deceived, and there must be some cunning villains around us who have bewitched us. "

"As long as such image shaping can be completed, those Dalits will take the initiative to believe us and think that we nobles are right anyway. In this way, even if they fight with people in other cities, they will never lead the problem to us. "

"On the other hand... It's not a bad thing that people die."

Jason leaned back in his chair and continued——

"Just like the great famine that is happening now, why is there a great famine? That is naturally because there is not enough food. Since there is not enough food to eat and a few people die, isn't there enough food? "

Norris tapped his glass gently, and the servant next to him immediately came up to fill it. He shook his glass, appreciated the dark rose wine in it, and then smiled: "after those Dalits fight each other, natural food is enough. And sometimes not only enough food, but also the land is empty. At this time, if we buy those lands, we can buy them at a very low price. So for us, as long as the fire doesn't burn on our nobles, the Dalits below can die at will. Even if it is dead, we will hire tenants from other places at a slightly higher price, and these farmland will still be cultivated soon. Then, continue to lower the wages of the tenants, and let them fight each other again after they are dissatisfied again, so as to reincarnate. "

Jason gave Norris a thumbs up, his face full of worship.

When vicomte Ruichi heard this, he looked unbearable and said, "is this... Too cruel? Let those ordinary people fight each other... "

Norris sighed and said helplessly, "Viscount Ritchie, so sometimes you are really kind. Do you think you killed yourself? If you don't kill with your own hands, people will die anytime and anywhere in the world. Everyone will have mercy. Come here with mercy? "

Jason also helped: "yes, yes, viscount Ritchie. If you don't want them to take the initiative to reduce the number of people, you should spend energy on giving them good food and drink, and increase their wages. Think about it. If the sailors of your fleet ask for an increase in wages, do you meet their requirements? Or did you open the sailor who asked for a raise to another sailor who asked for a lower salary? "

"Why not? Of course it's straight! "

When it came to money, viscount Ruichi saw it very clearly after all, and made a decision without even thinking about it.

After making the decision, he seemed to understand something. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said "I see" and stopped talking.

Ariel's face looked a little ugly. After a moment of silence, she said, "so, do you want me to do the same?"

Norris nodded gently and said with a smile, "maybe Miss Ariel can't be so elegant, but miss Ariel's reputation in Pelican city is beyond ordinary people's reach now? In this way, you have already completed the first step, that is, to make your image incomparably tall and perfect in the hearts of the Dalits. "
