Chapter 185 The Theory of Helping the Demon King

After completing all arrangements and resting for a day, Gawain and Amber set off and left Kant, while Knight Philip and two accompanying soldiers stayed temporarily. He will stay here to supervise the implementation of various aftermath work and ensure that everything is in order. Go ahead according to Gawain's instructions, and build an emergency power center in Kant Castle, which has lost its lord, to ensure that Kant's canonized knights, farm owners, and representatives of trade associations will not fall into chaos.

This is a difficult and tedious job, and I am afraid it is difficult to complete it with the personal ability of Knight Philip, but the affairs consultant Patrick and the chief knight named Wald Perich have sworn that they will lead all the knights and directors. Fully cooperating with Philip's work, coupled with the great prestige of Duke Cecil and the unprecedented weakness within Kant Territory, Gawain believed that Philip could control the situation.

After all, the territorial management in this era is really not too complicated. There is no complicated personnel structure, and there is no delicate and complicated administrative model. Most of the daily affairs of the lord are handled by people such as housekeepers and consultants. The end of the territory has always been controlled by each canonized knight. In other words, as long as these people do not make trouble, the order of the territory can be maintained.

After the rain, the brilliance of the giant sun once again sprinkled on this land free from darkness. Although the wind from the north was still cold, there was no longer that kind of depressing and eccentric atmosphere in the cold. It will disperse the anxiety in people's hearts, and under the sunlight that has not been seen for many days, the carriage with the Cecil family crest drove through the stone path, through the town that was gradually waking up, and headed south.

Since Knight Philip and the accompanying soldiers stayed in the castle, apart from the driver, there were only Gawain and Amber on the carriage. The latter opened the shutters of the carriage and looked at the hurrying people outside. The people of Kant walked towards the castle and couldn't help but muttered, "Do you think they can understand what happened?"

Gawain said lightly: "Most of them will use their own superstitious thoughts to re-process it, and what happened in the castle will be explained by themselves to be more bizarre and dark, but these are irrelevant, they will accept this fact, and then the days How to live or how to live.”

"The Viscount Kant has a high prestige among the people," Amber pouted, "but now these people suddenly know that their Viscount died 30 years ago, and a ghost-like existence has always ruled them... Really not Know what these people will think."

"For most people in this era, it doesn't matter who the lord is. Even an excellent lord who is admired will hardly leave a lasting and deep impression in the hearts of the people at the bottom," Gao Wen sighed, " All you can see in the tavern are the wealthy commoners, but the territory is supported by 80% of the poorer poor and serfs, and a few of those people have leisure time to think about the change of the lord. What about complicated questions? So the only answer is: a small minority will panic, but will be quickly appeased by Patrick and Wald Perich, while the majority will continue to live dazedly and mediocrely, occasionally In the fields drinking poor moonshine and discussing about the old lord,

And forget all about it until the next farm chores. "

Amber looked at Gawain and couldn't help frowning: "When you're talking about these things...it's always a little scary, calmly like an outsider."

Gao Wen just smiled and didn't explain too much, but Amber couldn't calm down, she was stunned for a while, and then a new question came up: "Speaking of...you should explain it to me now, why do you Want to reject the kindness of that Patrick? This is an opportunity, everyone who has the right to speak in Kant is supporting you, you just need to go one step further... Kant will be in your name! It's so far from the royal city , even if Francis II knew the news, he could only hold his nose and acquiesce to the fact..."

Gawain didn't expect Amber to be still struggling with this issue, let alone that this shameless head could think about such a complicated matter for a long time without crashing. Considering that he was idle now, he smiled and said, "You Do you really think it was a good idea for me to accept Patrick's invitation on the spot yesterday?"

"Otherwise? You are a duke, duke! Is there a problem with taking over a small viscount?"

"As I said, Kant Territory is only a small piece of land, although it is very rich and is a well-known grain-producing area, it is still a projectile compared to the two belt-shaped plains on both sides of the Dark Mountains and the surrounding vast subsidiary land. Land, and receiving such a small piece of land will damage my reputation, so I can’t pay it, but it’s just for Patrick,” Gawain smiled and shook his head, “Have you ever thought about it, if I How much pressure will it put on the aristocratic system in the entire southern region by accepting the position of the 'deputy lord' of the Kant Territory?"

Amber is sincere: "Who knows what you say!"

"There are countless pairs of eyes looking at the Cecil family, looking at me, the ancient legend who climbed out of the coffin, what is it trying to do in this era, especially our neighbors in the south, each of them is resurrected in me Since that day, they have entered a state of high alert, and all they are worried about is their own land, because more than 80% of the noble fiefs in the south are divided from the old estate of the Cecil family," Gawain said. He said in a hurry, "And under this circumstance, I visited Kant Territory, and in just a few days, all the lords of Kant Territory died, and they didn't have any qualified heirs, so I turned my head and changed. The so-called acting lord will become the de facto lord in a short time if there is no dispute, what do you think the neighbors who suffer from anxiety disorder will view this fact?”

Amber blinked: "...they are stupid. You didn't come to the position of the lord of Kant, and you didn't kill Viscount Kant. He died 30 years ago!"

"But the southern nobles don't know this fact, or even if they know it in the future, they will refuse to admit this fact in their hearts," Gawain shook his head, "People will refuse to believe what they don't want to believe, they only see a simple Cause and effect: Gawain Cecil went to Kant Territory and ended up becoming the lord of Kant Territory, what happened in the middle, who would care?"

"Then you are such a good person for nothing? And when you left, you even left the property that Viscount Kant gave you in his personal name, and asked Knight Philip and Patrick to share those properties with... ..." Amber muttered resentfully, but her tone gradually changed in the middle of the muttering. She suddenly stopped and looked up at Gawain, "Wait, then you are..."

"Patrick invites me to become the lord of Kant, and I will definitely refuse, but soon everyone will know that Duke Cecil will be the protector of everyone in Kant," Gawain leaned on the carriage and changed In a more comfortable position, "The knights and stewards in the castle will still get their salary, which is paid by Duke Cecil, and the servants in the castle who have nowhere to go will still have a way out, this way is Duke Cecil Provided, the commoners of Kant will still receive charcoal for the winter, and when they go to the town square to collect these, the decree posted on the square bulletin board will be signed Gawain Cecil's name, but even this Everything has happened, and I will not be the lord of Kant."

Amber didn't say a word, just stared blankly at Gawain and continued to speak.

"Then, I will build a passage from the north bank of the White Water River to Kant's Land, which is part of the 'North Shore Development Plan' of the New Cecil Land. Before the king's decree, Kant and Cecil understand that in fact Connect; then, I will provide job opportunities to the people of Kant, allowing them to do business and move freely between the two lands of Cecil and Kant, and every Kant who is willing to serve the Cecil family will receive The same fair treatment as Cecil's citizens, of course, in exchange, they must learn Cecil's laws in the process to prevent offending Cecil's interests; after this, I recruit those famous The scholars and craftsmen of the town worked together to build and renovate the outdated facilities in the town, and strive to promote the night school system of Cecil Land here. Every Kant will realize that their life will not change with the death of the old lord. If it gets worse, it will get better and better under the protection of Duke Cecil, and every noble in the South will clearly see that Gawain Cecil never covets the dominion of Kant Territory, he is just helping the Grand Duke selflessly my neighbors..."

Amber's eyes widened, and after a long while, he finally choked out a sentence: "Then... if the king really sends a new lord to take over the Kant Territory, then you..."

"After I've done this, do you think there is still room for a new lord?" Gawain said with a smile, "Francis II is not stupid. Of course, if he insists on sending someone over, I don't mind the borderland. You should also know how low the control of the royal family is here. A royal aristocrat can only serve as an ineffective eyeliner for Francis II here, but he can be a good family member of Cecil. The housekeeper, help me manage... Kant District."

Amber listened in a daze, and it wasn't until half a minute later that she thought of what she was thinking: "As a nobleman, you really have a darker heart than anything..."

"No, my heart is not dark at all, everything I do is upright, I did not conspire to harm anyone, and I will not deprive any innocent people of property, think about it carefully, I have done damage in the process. Does anyone benefit? Someone will be poor because of my help? Someone will starve and freeze because of all this? On the contrary, everyone is benefiting, even the 'new lord who doesn't know if there will be' ', I can also guarantee that he will lead a better life than ever in the fast-growing Kant, far beyond the 'life of a frontier aristocrat' he imagined."

Amber thought about it carefully, and found that it was as Gawain said, but it only made her more confused and tangled: "Then why are you tossing so much? Ordinary people rack their brains so much that it's not all for the sake of pitfalls. Are you hurting people? How are you..."

"I also benefited from this process," Gawain laughed happily, "I'm just doing my best to help everyone live a good life by using all means and means, have you ever heard of the Demon King of Helping People?"

Amber looked at Gao Wen suspiciously: "What a nonsense, you have a well-planned and I am a little suspicious now that you have a bad heart against Kant from the beginning..."

"Don't make trouble, I came up with this on a temporary basis, otherwise what can I do? I want to help the people from Kant, but I can't let myself get involved in right and wrong, so I can only go around like this."

"real?"

"Of course it's true!" Reading Network
