Chapter 151: Archduke Norton’s operation is so shocking that he
agrees? Still don’t agree?
this is a problem.
Regarding the second condition proposed by Leon, Viscount Cummings was actually a little indifferent.
Where purchasing supplies is not purchasing?
If Antolia can provide it, then there is nothing wrong with purchasing from Antolia, who is a creditor.
The only thing he was worried about was the first condition made by Leon.
As a nobleman with a normal mind, Viscount Cummings is very clear about the consequences of agreeing to Leon's conditions.
He basically knew what was going on at Antolia Bank.
Is there really any substantial difference between placing it in the hands of the Antolia Bank and placing it in the hands of the Jimena family?
Even though the gold diggers who came from afar praised the existence of the Antolia Bank, as a nobleman, Viscount Cummings had to think more.
"Your Majesty the Marquis..."
Viscount Cummings couldn't help showing a solemn expression.
However, Leon did not give Viscount Cummings a chance to bargain.
"Think about it, do you not have enough money now?"
"Yes."
Viscount Cummings replied with a wry smile.
"In that case, if you use the funds borrowed from Antolia to buy Antolia's supplies, is this equivalent to the Jimena family paying to help you buy it?" "Yes." "
Since
it is Antolia Is it very reasonable for the money in Tolia to be deposited in the Bank of Antolia?"
"Yes."
"In this case, all you need to pay is the future tax revenue of the city of Parma!" "
And in this case At the same time, you even got a rebuilt city for free!"
"A southern town that once belonged to the Braves family!"
To be honest, Leon really didn't plan to make much money from the city of Palma.
His purpose for doing this was, firstly, to get the Bank of Antolia out of Antolia, and secondly, so that the workshops that had prospered due to the construction of the new city on this land could continue to operate after the construction of the new city was completed.
The prosperity of business is inseparable from the circulation of funds.
For Antolia, who has no business at all, this is actually the fastest way.
Viscount Cummings felt that Leon's words made some sense, but not much.
Yes, the conditions offered by Leon do seem very reasonable, and can even be called benevolent.
But if he really agrees, then will he have the final say on the future of Parma City? Or does Leon have the final say?
How is it different from the Jimena family enclave? !
However, the situation is stronger than the people.
At least there was no other choice before Viscount Cummings.
Except for the Jimena family, which swallowed up the wealth of the Bravis family, no noble in the south of the kingdom had enough strength to support themselves in rebuilding the city of Parma.
So...
after going through an extremely painful struggle, Viscount Cummings finally signed his name on the newly drafted agreement.
he knows.
From now on, although he is not a vassal of the Jimena family in name, he is actually the same as a vassal!
"Dong dong dong!"
"Your Majesty the Marquis!"
Just as Leon had just sent away Viscount Cummings who had come from afar, and according to his own ideas, he continued to think about how to expand Antolia's influence in the south of the Andal Kingdom. At that moment...
Todd pushed in the door and brought Leon news that would shock him for a whole year.
There was no other reason. Following the end of the civil war in the Kingdom of Andal, a civil war also broke out in the Principality of Norton, a friendly neighbor to the west of the Kingdom of Andal.
There is one thing to say, at least according to the news obtained by Leon, the reason why the civil war broke out in the Principality of Norton was entirely due to imitation crimes!
Because the current Duke of Norton, Sancur Brandon, is not only in his prime, but has also inherited the title of Duke for more than ten years!
There is no comparison at all with the Kingdom of Andal, which just lost its queen.
However, reality does not always conform to common sense.
What's more, Sangur Brandon, Duke of Norton, has never been a common sense monarch.
Perhaps it was due to the civil war in the Andal Kingdom that the Duke of Norton felt a threat that did not actually exist.
Or maybe the Duke of Norton suddenly went crazy and changed his mind.
He did something that even Leon, a time traveler, was extremely shocked.
Cut off the vassal!
You must know that the Principality of Norton is not a fish that slipped through the net under the feudal fiefdom system like Antolia.
Moreover, even Leon would not dare to easily touch the feudal fiefdom system with lords and vassals at its core until Antolia was not strong enough to crush all opposition.
But it was precisely under this background that Duke Norton really made the decision to reduce the vassal.
Although his remaining sanity prevented him from depriving his vassals of their titles, he requested that the boundaries of each noble domain be redefined to prevent any nobles from becoming too powerful and threatening his power as a lord.
And this time, it was like poking a hornet's nest.
The aristocratic rebellion that people loved to see naturally followed.
From southeast to northwest, nobles from four directions collectively attacked the Duke.
A faction of claimants supporting the Duke of Norton's younger brother, Felix Blanton, formed almost overnight.
It only took three days to surround the capital of the Principality of Norton.
No nobleman supports the top-down reforms of Sangur Brandon, Duke of Norton. If nothing else happens, this means that the civil strife in the Principality of Norton will quietly end before it reaches Antolia.
But if nothing else, that is obviously impossible.
As early as the civil strife in the Kingdom of Andal, the Kingdom of Walras in the north had already sharpened its sword and was ready to give this huge kingdom a head-on attack when the Kingdom of Andal was at its most dangerous.
However...
the joining of the Southern Allied Forces calmed down the rebellion at a speed that was beyond everyone's expectations.
At this time, when Sardar of the Kingdom of Walras (the actual ruler of the Kingdom of Walras) was hesitating whether to continue to carry out things according to the previous plan, the Principality of Norton, which was also adjacent to the Kingdom of Walras, suddenly There was another rebellion.
For Sardar of the Walras Kingdom, this... is simply great news!
The national power of the Principality of Norton is not as good as that of the Kingdom of Andal.
Now that the Norton Principality is also facing a rebellion, the pagan armies that had already been mobilized and originally planned to invade the northern part of the Andal Kingdom immediately turned around and headed towards the Norton Principality. As a result, the original civil war in the Principality began
. This turned into a three-way melee between the Duke of Norton, the nobles of the duchy, and the Walrasian pagan army!
Leon is actually not worried about the situation in the Principality of Norton.
But the problem is...
in the current territory of the Principality of Norton, there is also a caravan from Antolia!
No more today, on the way.
