"Father in heaven!"
Hansel rubbed his eyes, and looked at the letter in his hand again.
This letter, more specifically, is a metaphor written by His Majesty the King himself.
Your Majesty the King... His Majesty the Supreme King actually wrote me a letter in person!
After experiencing a series of mental changes such as shock, disbelief, and repeated confirmation, Hansel's heart burst into ecstasy.
Half an hour ago, Hansel, who was in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture, had just returned to his residence after getting off work from the Government Affairs Council, when his servant told him that three big figures from King Capital Jingyao were waiting for him in the living room.
Since he came from Jingyao, Hansel didn't dare to neglect, he hurriedly washed his face and went to meet the guests.
As soon as he entered the living room, he saw three young men in dignified clothes sitting there.
The one sitting in the middle is slightly older, with a thin face, deep eye sockets, a well-trimmed mustache, and steady eyes.
The two next to him are much younger. They look not much older than Earl Greyman. They look very similar. They look like twins. Although their faces are rounder and their faces are white and beardless, the expression between their eyebrows and eyes resembles that of the one in front of them. Or maybe his two twin brothers.
"I am Baron Hansel Abbott, the representative of the royal family in the Northwest Gulf, and the director of the Agriculture Department of the Government Council of Arda, Belding, and Emden. Who are the three...?"
Facing the guests from Jingyao, Hansel didn't dare to be too condescending, and politely asked about his identity, although he still couldn't help but say his title again.
The older young man sitting in the middle stood up slowly and said with a smile:
"Lord Abbott, it is a pleasure to meet you, and to see that you are in such good health both physically and mentally. My name is Gerd Rodney, perhaps you have heard my name."
Rodney?
royal family?
Hansel was taken aback.
Wait, Gerd Rodney?
Isn't he the eldest son of His Majesty's younger brother, Prince Jassim Rodney?
Soon, Hansel's head turned at high speed.
The Duke of Gerd has a pair of twin brothers—August Rodney and Eureko Rodney, are these two beside him?
Hansel's face instantly changed into a solemn expression.
"Three honorable lords, forgive me for being far away, my lord, please sit down."
Eurico Rodney sat down again with a smile, and Hansel called the servant to rebrew the tea with the best tea in the house.
"This is my brother—August Rodney." Gerd pointed to his brother on the left.
August Rodney looked soft, stood up immediately after his brother introduced himself, grinned somewhat shyly at Hansel, and even raised his hand as a gesture of greeting to Hansel, he gave People feel that they must be easy-going, humble and shy in daily life.
"This is my other brother—Eureko Rodney." Gerd pointed to his brother on the right.
Unlike his twin brother, Eureko Rodney looked very proud, only slightly nodded to Hansel, and his buttocks remained motionless on the sofa.
Hansel saluted them one by one.
He asked: "I don't know what important things the three adults have come to the Northwest Gulf. Do you need me to do anything for you?"
"It's mainly because I have something to come here, and my two younger brothers are here to see the world with me."
As he spoke, Gerd took out a letter and handed it to Hansel.
"The purpose of my trip is all in this letter."
Seeing the signature on the envelope, Hansel's heart was filled with turmoil.
He carefully opened the envelope with slightly trembling hands.
Read carefully word by word.
"...I have ordered Earl Gerd to go to the Northwest Gulf as the plenipotentiary representative of the royal family to discuss matters related to the introduction of the second industry to the kingdom with Earl Paul Greyman, Duke Henry Ferdinand and other ministers in the Northwest Gulf. Representative of the Gulf, you must assist Earl Gerd to complete this matter..."
And then there's the opening scene.
Apart from personal contacts such as his family and friends, Hansel's only communication channel with the Jingyao Kingdom government is the unlovable Viscount Aiden from the Kingdom's intelligence department, and this guy seems to have forgotten himself. No information came once.
Hansel didn't even know whether he was the representative of the royal family and the director of Arda agriculture or the director of Arda agriculture and the representative of the royal family.
Why did the king write to him himself all of a sudden?
How flattered!
Hansel read the contents of the letter three times over and over again.
Seeing his actions, Eurico Rodney was very disdainful, and whispered to his elder brother: "After all, he is the **** of low blood. The letter is revealed."
Gerd rolled his eyes at his brother, signaling him to shut up.
It took Hansel a lot of effort to calm down his excitement, and talked about serious matters with the three guests.
"So, His Majesty the King intends to develop industry and commerce in the royal territory?"
"Yes." Gerd spread his hands, "Baron Abbott, you must also know that Jingyao has gathered a large number of southern nobles who have lost their territories?"
Southern nobles? So it is so Hansel knew about this group of people from the letter from home, and also knew that this group of people caused headaches for the Kingdom government.
"To tell you the truth, His Majesty the King is worried that these nobles may cause trouble if they are idle all day long, so he wants to find something for them to do."
"I see…"
Hansel looks thoughtful.
Gerd continued: "After thinking about it, we can try to get these people to devote themselves to industry and commerce, especially that...that manufacturing industry. If they can make some achievements, they can also contribute to the economic prosperity of the kingdom."
Hansel replied: "Your Majesty the King is really far-sighted."
Gerd asked with some uncertainty: "Uh... Baron Abbott, do you think... it's feasible?"
"It's feasible! It's very feasible! The speed of accumulating wealth in industry and commerce is definitely faster than collecting taxes and rents by guarding a few pieces of arable land. In fact, I have already written several proposals to Baron Eden. Why, didn't he show it to you? ?"
Gerd confirmed a little bit in his heart, his little cousin Irene said so.
That viscount Aiden is really a blockheaded idiot.
But he still asked a little worriedly: "Based on what I know, the Northwest Gulf has already taken the lead. In this way, will we encounter strong competition in the development of the South?"
Hansel waved his hand: "Although you can rest assured, my lord, according to the current form, the development of industry and commerce is definitely a business that is sure to make money - only need to cooperate with a few other measures."
How many other measures?
Gerd smiled wryly in his heart, couldn't it be Irene who said that?
