Chapter 185： The theory of helping the devil

After completing all the arrangements and taking a day off, Gao Wen and Amber left the Kant collar, and the Philip Knight and the two accompanying soldiers stayed for a while. He wanted to stay here to supervise the implementation of the aftermath and ensure everything In accordance with Gao Wen’s instructions, and in the Kant Castle that lost the lord, an emergency power center was constructed to ensure that the Kant’s canonized knights, farm owners, and industry association representatives would not fall into chaos.

This is a difficult and cumbersome job, and it is difficult to complete the Philip Knight’s personal ability, but the affairs adviser Padrik and the chief knight named Wald Perich have taken the oath and will lead all the knights and supervisors. Fully cooperating with Philip's work, coupled with the great prestige of the Duke of Cecil and the unprecedented state of Kant's internal weakness, Gao Wen believes that Philip can control the situation.

After all, the management of the territory in this era is actually really complicated. There is no complicated structure and no complicated administrative model. Most of the daily affairs of the lord are made by people like the housekeeper and consultants. The end of the territory is always controlled by the various knights. In other words, as long as these people do not mess, the order of the territory can be maintained.

The rain has passed, and the glory of the great day is once again sprinkled on this piece of land that has been freed from darkness. Although the wind from the north is still cold, there is no such thing as a repressive and eccentric atmosphere in the cold. It will dispel the uneasiness in people's hearts, and in the sunshine that has not been seen for many days, the carriage with the Cecil family crest has sailed through the stone path, passing through the town that is gradually waking up and heading south.

As the Philip Knight and the accompanying soldiers stayed in the castle, at the moment, except for the driver who drove the car, only Gao Wen and Amber were left. The latter opened the bezel of the carriage and looked at the hurry outside. Kant’s entourage walked in the direction of the castle and couldn’t help but swear: “You said they can understand what happened?”

Gao Wen said faintly: "They will still use their superstitious thoughts to re-process them. The things happening in the castle will be more bizarre and dark by their self-explanation, but these are irrelevant, they will accept this fact, then the days How can I pass it or how?"

"The Viscount Kant has a high prestige among the people," Amber grinned. "But now these people suddenly know that their viscount died 30 years ago. It has always been a ghost-like existence that rules them... Know what these people think."

"For most people in this era, it doesn't matter who the lord is. Even a good lord who is admired is hard to leave a long-lasting impression on the bottom of the people." Gao Wen sighed. What you can see in the pub are wealthy civilians, but the territory is supported by 80% of the poorer poor and serfs, and several of those have leisure time to think about the change of the lord. The complicated question? So the only answer is that a small group of people will panic, but will soon be comforted by Padrek and Wald Perich, and most of them will continue to live in vain, occasionally Drinking inferior private wines in the fields to discuss the old lords and forget everything before the next farm work."

Amber looked at Gao Wen and couldn't help but frown. "When you talk about these things... it's always a little scary, calm like an outsider."

Gao Wen was just smiling, not too much explanation, but Amber couldn’t be quiet. She squatted for a while and then came up with a new question: “Speak... you should explain it to me now, why are you? To reject that Paderick’s kindness? This is an opportunity. Kant’s people who have the right to speak are supporting you. Just go one step further... Kant’s collar can go to your name! It’s so far away from Wangcheng. The fact that Francis II could only hold the nose by default if he knew the news..."

Gao Wen didn't think that Amber was still entangled in this problem. He even thought that this shameful head of all things could think about such complicated things for a long time without crashing. Considering that he is still idle now, he smiles and says: "You Really thought that it was a good idea for me to accept Paderick’s invitation on the spot yesterday?"

"Otherwise? How much are you a duke, Duke! Is there a problem with receiving a small viscount?"

“I said that Kant’s collar is just a small land. Although he is very rich, he is a well-known grain-producing area, but it is still a projectile compared with the two strip plains on both sides of the dark mountain range and the surrounding surrounding land. The land, and receiving such a small piece of land will damage my reputation, so I can’t make it, but it’s just to say to Padrick.” Gao Wen smiled and shook his head. “Have you thought about it if I Accepting the position of Kant’s 'generational lord' will put a lot of pressure on the aristocratic system in the entire southern region?"

Amber is sincere: "Who do you know this!"

"There are countless pairs of eyes watching the Cecil family, watching me what the ancient legends who climbed out of the coffin want to do in this era, especially our neighbors in the South, each of them resurrected in me. From that day on, they entered a state of high alert. What they are worried about is nothing more than their own land, because more than 80% of the aristocratic seals in the south are separated from the old industry of the Cecil family." Gao Wen does not I said slowly, "In this case, I visited Kant. In just a few days, Kant’s lord’s family died. They still have no qualified heirs, so I turned my head and changed. In the absence of controversy, the so-called lord of the lord will become the de facto lord. How do you think the neighbors who have been worried about this fact?"

Amber blinked: "...they are stupid, you are not coming to the position of Lord of Kant, and the Viscount Kant is not killed by you. He died 30 years ago!"

"But the southern aristocrats don't know this fact, or even if they know it later, they will refuse to admit this fact in their hearts," Gao Wen shook his head. "People will refuse to believe what they don't want to believe. They have only one simple eye." Causal: Gavin Cecil went to Kant, and the result became the lord of Kant. What happened in the middle, who would care?"

"Then you have become a good person in such a white way? And when you left, you still left the property that Viscount Kant gave to you in your own name, and let Philip Knight and Padrik give the property to... ..." Amber groaned with resentment, but slowly changed in half the tone. She suddenly stopped and looked up at Gao Wen. "Wait, then you are..."

"Padrick invited me to be the lord of Kant. I will definitely refuse it, but everyone will know that the Duke of Cecil will become the protector of everyone in Kant." Gao Wen leaned on the carriage and changed. A comfortable posture, "The knights and the governors in the castle will still get a salary. The salary is paid by the Duke of Cecil. The servants who have nowhere to go in the castle will still have a way out. This way is the Duke of Cecil. Provided, the civilians of Kant’s collar will still receive the charcoal for the winter, and when they go to the town square to collect these things, the decree posted on the square bulletin board will sign the name of Govin Cecil, but even this Everything happened, and I will not be the lord of Kant."

Amber didn't say anything, just staring at Gao Wen and going on.

"Then, I will build a passage from the north bank of the White River to Kant. This is part of the new Cecil's 'North Shore Development Plan'. Before the King's decree was issued, Kant and Cecil understood the fact. Connected; then, I will provide jobs for Kant’s people, allowing them to freely trade and migrate between the land of Cecil and Kant, and every Kant who is willing to serve the Cecil family will get The same fair treatment as Cecil’s people, of course, in exchange, they must learn Cecil’s law in this process to prevent the infringement of Cecil’s interests; after that, I will be in Kant’s collar. Laying the magic net, recruiting prestigious scholars and artisans to build and renovate the old facilities in the town, and strive to promote the night school system of Cecil's collar. Every Kant people will realize that their lives are not It will get worse with the death of the old lord, but it will become better and better under the protection of the Duke of Cecil, and every Southern aristocrat will clearly see that Gavin Cecil Kant did not covet the right to rule collar, he was just selfless help their neighbors ...... "

Amber’s eyes widened and he finally said a word: “And then... if the king really sent a new lord to take over the Kant collar, then you...”

"After I finished this, do you think there is still room for new lords?" Gao Wen said with a smile. "Francis II is not stupid. Of course, if he insists on sending someone to come over, I have no opinion on the border. How low is the control of the royal family? You should also know that a royal aristocrat can only serve Francis II as a less useful eyeliner, but he can be a good Cecil family. The housekeeper, help me manage... Kant."

Amber listened to it one by one, until half a minute later, she came up with the thought: "You are a nobleman than the blacks..."

"No, my heart is not black. Everything I do is bright and straight. I have no conspiracy to harm anyone, nor will I deprive any innocent people of property. You think about it, I have damage in this process. To anyone's interest? Someone will be poor because of my help? Someone will go hungry and frozen because of all this? On the contrary, everyone is getting benefits, even if it is the 'new lord who doesn't know if it will happen. ', I can also guarantee that he will lead a better life in the fast-developing Kant than in the past, far beyond what he imagined as the 'frontier aristocratic life'."

Amber thought about it carefully and found that it was as Gaowen said, but it only made her more confused and tangled: "What do you want to do so? The average person is doing all the time to do it. What about people? How are you..."

"I have also benefited from this process," Gao Wen smiled happily. "I just used unscrupulous means, and the authorities have done everything to help everyone have heard about it."

Amber looked suspiciously at Gao Wen: "What a ghost, you have a well-planned plan. I now have some doubts that you have been wrong with Kant at the beginning..."

"Don't make trouble, I am thinking about it temporarily. Otherwise, what can I do? I want to help Kant's people, and I can't let myself get together. I can only bend around like this."

"Really?"

"of course it's true!"
