Chapter 102: Setting up a model banker
"It's too much to bully someone! If I don't take revenge, I, Viscount Charles, will never be a human being!"
In the Charles Manor, Viscount Charles slapped his hand on the table with an extremely angry expression.
He sent more than a dozen people to catch the mining slaves on the south bank, but he did not expect that all the people who passed by were killed by Lord Saldin, and their heads were chopped off and thrown at the entrance of the mine.
This kind of bad behavior in broad daylight is simply outrageous.
It was unbearable. Viscount Charles was so angry that he felt chest tight for two days. He immediately consulted two acquaintances to discuss countermeasures.
"Lord Saldin is so arrogant!" Baron Salomé, the owner of the Sapphire Demonic Iron Mine, also echoed: "Our mine slave escaped and he didn't take the initiative to return it to show repair. , we came to ask for it, but he dared to refuse to return it. He didn't take us seriously at all."
Baron Pedi, who was plating iron ore, was also very angry. He was infected by the emotions of the two people and became ruthless. He took a swig of wine and said loudly: "What do you two think? I, Baron Pedi, will definitely accompany me!"
Baron Salome was the first to speak: "I think, let's unite the three estates and bring a vote He just gave it to the Sardin Manor! Anyway, he is not a nobleman. After the equality is reached, he can just give the hat to the Jackal. Just like the other manors were destroyed before." Viscount Charles and Baron
Pedi After hearing this, he looked at Baron Salome with a meaningful look.
"Ahem." Baron Pedi coughed twice, but stopped talking. His status can be said to be the lowest among the three, and he is also the most honest. He didn't agree with Baron Salome's words, but he didn't want to object.
"What?" Baron Salome was immediately dissatisfied: "Didn't you just say that you would accompany me! How come I told you what I thought and you didn't dare to do it?" At this time, Viscount Charles interjected: "Salome
, Your idea is good. But it seems a bit unrealistic. This Saldin Manor wiped out four gnoll gangs in one go. Romo Saldin is also known as the youngest man in the Volo Valley. A first-level magic knight. If the three of us join forces, there doesn't seem to be much chance of winning."
Baron Salome snorted coldly and said: "I always feel that they are bragging. Who is the youngest first-level magic knight? , It's nothing more than relying on damn alchemy."
"No matter what you rely on, a strong attack is always undesirable." Viscount Charles waved his hand and said: "I have a sure way." "
Sir, please tell me!" Pei Di The Baron and Baron Salome asked in unison.
"I directly invited Viscount Marshall Hobert, the Minister of Public Security of the City Hall, and we took him to the Saldin Manor in person to investigate and ask him to support us!" Viscount Charles said: "No matter what the reason is, Saldin It is a definite fact that Erdin killed more than a dozen of my attendants. I don’t believe that he, Sardin, dares not to bow his head in front of the Minister of Public Security." "Minister of
Public Security." Baron Pedi thought for a moment and said. : "This is a way. After all, no matter what, he, Saldin, must abide by the laws of the kingdom? But, can you invite the Minister of Public Security?" Viscount Charles glanced at
him and said with some arrogance: "He is also a Viscount, and I am also a Viscount. What else can't be invited? Don't worry, he is my father's friend. Although my father has passed away now, I think we are all old friends and will always give me some face. "."
Baron Pedi and Baron Salome looked at each other and said with some worry: "Sir Viscount, the plan is a good one. It's just that the mining slaves under our command are not from the right background. If Sardine Let’s take this as an example. Convicting us of forcing civilians into slavery is not worth the gain.” “
Don’t worry!” Viscount Charles waved his hand and said with a smile, “Do you think others don’t know what we have done? This is what is done in the Volo Valley now. Viscount Marshall is my friend, and the weapons of law will only face Lord Saldin, not us." Baron Pedi and Salome suddenly heard this
. Relax.
The two of them bowed to Viscount Charles and said, "Your Excellency, you still have something to offer. After Viscount Marshall comes, we will go to Sardine Manor together to question that young boy!" "Yes, question him! This is not the case
. This bastard knows how high the sky is. Let me spit out all the mine slaves who ate us, and hand over a dozen people to pay for the sins of my dozen subordinates!" Viscount Charles thought of the shocking things thrown at the entrance of the mine. His head immediately started to itch with hatred.
In Saltine Manor, Tim woke up from chaos.
He felt like he was having a long dream. I dreamed that I was in a lush forest.
The surrounding air is very fresh, with a refreshing fragrance. Smelling this soft sound, my whole body seemed to feel lighter.
He stepped on the thick fallen leaves and wandered in the forest. The golden sunlight penetrated the gaps in the leaves and sprinkled spots on the ground.
When the sun shines on himself, it feels like his whole body is bathed in warmth.
This dream was so beautiful that it made him forget all the hardships in the world and made him reluctant to wake up for a long time.
He was immersed in a sweet dream, but his mother's call came from far to near, and then became stronger and stronger, as if she wanted to shout out his soul.
With deep attachment to his mother, he immediately opened his eyes.
The first thing that caught his eye was the pretty face of a stunningly beautiful woman. Her eyes were black and white, as clear as a newborn baby, and she was staring at herself with concern.
Her skin is very white, the bridge of her nose is high, and her thin lips are half pursed, as delicate and red as cherries.
"Fairy," Tim murmured.
Immediately there was a voice next to him: "Don't stare, this is the lord's woman."
Another voice said mockingly: "Good guy, how dare you stare at the lord's woman like this."
Listen. Upon hearing these two familiar and majestic voices, Tim immediately woke up.
He found that he seemed to be sleeping on a warm and spacious bed. It was several times more luxurious than the small bed in my own farmhouse.
Then he saw clearly that there were some big guys standing around him.
Standing on the left is the formidable old butler Uncle Barron, and on the right is the person he looks up to, Deputy Captain Vincent, as well as Captain Wallis and Steward Broome from the dock.
In addition, there was that beautiful woman standing beside the bed, as well as her mother.
This beautiful woman seems to be what people call Lord Saldin's follower, Miss Calcifer.
'She's really beautiful. 'Tim looked at her blankly and thought involuntarily.
"Why are you still reading?" Bloom, the dock steward, said again.
Tim had a natural fear of this boss. When he heard him speak, he was startled and immediately looked away.
"My son didn't watch it on purpose, he just wanted to see who his savior was." Tim's mother quickly explained to Tim. Being stared at by this young man, Calcifer found it interesting. She raised her head and said, "Sir, his life is not in danger. It's just injuries on his head and face. He needs to rest for a few days to recover." Tim
heard With the word "sir", I realized that the lord also came to see me.
He felt excited and immediately turned around to look for Luo Mo.
After finding Luo Mo, he struggled to get up, saluted Luo Mo, and choked: "My lord, I..."
Luo Mo smiled and stepped forward, patted his shoulder, motioned him to continue lying down, and said, "You are very good." You are brave. You have done a great job this time and saved the farmers of our manor. If you have any requests, you can tell me."
Tim's mother was very excited when she heard Lomo's words. He really wanted his son to make some practical requests, such as joining the docks as a worker.
Again, adding more cultivated fields is also a good request.
She secretly prayed in her heart that any request that could improve her life would be acceptable, but she must never say anything like giving the woman in front of her to me.
Tim was completely unaware of his mother's expectations. He was also excited and immediately expressed his deepest desire to Luo Mo: "Sir, I want to join the militia." When Luo Mo heard this request, he looked at
Wen Sen, showing a questioning look.
Vincent immediately replied: "Sir, Tim has applied to join the militia several times. However, he is only eleven years old this year, and his strength and age are not enough. He may not be able to keep up with the training." Lomo heard this
. , nodded, and said to Tim: "Tim, the rules are the rules. Even I can't break the rules. So I won't open the back door for you." A look of disappointment suddenly appeared on Tim's face
. He thought that this battle had attracted the attention of the lord, and he could hope to join the militia, but he still found nothing.
Seeing that the child was so persistent, Luo Mo felt a little relieved. He continued: "However, if you really want to join the militia, I can assign Vincent to be your teacher. After work, you can Training. If you don’t understand anything, you can ask Vincent. You can even ask Vincent to ask me. When you reach the level of strength, you can apply to join the militia. Do you think this is okay?" When Tim heard this, he
suddenly New hope was ignited. Vincent is the deputy leader of the knights of the manor, and it is also his unattainable dream. If you can recognize Vincent as a teacher, then you will be one step closer to your dream.
"Of course, thank you, sir!" Tim immediately bowed to Romo, then bowed to Vincent and shouted: "Teacher Vincent, please teach me! I will definitely work hard!"
Vincent He also likes this kid quite a bit, and he appreciates Tim's fighting qualities. At this moment, his face was full of joy, and he said to Luo Mo: "Sir, I will definitely train this kid well."
Luo Mo was very happy to see that there was a inheritance in the knights.
He is happy to see such children who are full of loyalty and love for the manor, and hopes that there will be more and more such children.
This is our own popular base, and it also shows from the side that our tolerant policy is right.
Love the people and be courteous to the virtuous. This is the unchanging truth that our ancestors have summarized over thousands of years.
As long as you stick to this path, more and more people will support you, and your team will grow stronger.
Of course, in the process of pursuing this path, the rule of law must not be discarded.
This is why he didn't make an exception and let Tim join the militia.
Only in this way can we prevent our manor from turning into a complicated and bloated nepotistic society, and then gradually turning into a stagnant knighthood like other nobles. The knights are all related households, but the capable serfs can never get ahead.
This visit to Tim was, firstly, to care about Tim's injury, and secondly, to let everyone in the manor know that as long as you treat the manor sincerely and make a real contribution to the manor, no matter who you are, you will get something. The Lord's caring and warm treatment.
Lomo also wants to spread Tim's deeds widely in the manor and establish him as a model farmer who bravely fights the enemy for the manor, even at the expense of his own life.
At any time, positive public opinion guidance is also an extremely important part.
After visiting Tim, Romo returned from the dock to Soulsplitting Fortress.
As soon as he got out of the pier, he saw Yale waiting for him at the intersection.
"Sir." Seeing Romo coming, Yale hurriedly went up to him and said softly: "As expected, Baron Pedi and Baron Salome have been staying at Charles Manor for the past two days." "Find out how they plan to deal with it
. Me?" Lomo asked.
"According to the interceptions of the first team of the Military Intelligence Bureau, Viscount Charles seemed to want to ask Marshall, the Minister of Security of the City Hall, to come in person and force us to bow to them." Yale reported: "Speaking of which, we did kill more than a dozen of them. These people all belong to the private property of the Charles Manor. According to the law, we have to use the same bank account to compensate them, and there will also be a considerable amount of compensation." "Minister Marshall" Romo pondered
.
He once heard Job and Elliot mention that their immediate boss was an old nobleman in the Volo Valley. He is lazy and lustful and rarely takes care of things.
Luo Mo has many ways to deal with such people.
He said to Yale in a deep voice: "Send someone to Volo City and ask Eliot from Saldin House to take out five hundred gold coins and three beauties. Visit Marshall with Job, and then bring these I will give him all the things. I want to see whether it is me, the beauties with gold coins, whose reputation is greater, or that of Viscount Charles."
Yale frowned slightly: "My lord, is it too much?"
" Not much, just store it with him for the time being." Luo Mo smiled and said: "There are still many things that will trouble him next." He
pondered for a while and then told Yale: "Your small team did a good job this time. Next, let them continue to lurk in the Charles Manor. After they have a disastrous encounter with Marshall, it will be our turn to take action." "
Yes, sir. I have already planted a piece of information in the manor of the three nobles. Net. They are all a bunch of losers, and they will definitely not miss." Yale immediately bowed.
"Yes." Romo nodded with satisfaction and said: "Our goal is very simple, to capture these mines. Let the southwest of the Volo Valley completely become our territory." (End of this chapter
