Chapter 945 Territorial Crisis (First)
Remember for a second
Longhuang Empire, Jin Yao's territory.
Facing this huge territory that belonged to him, Chen Rui couldn't help feeling a little emotional when he thought of the struggle to survive in the Dark Moon Territory when he first crossed.
However, he didn't have time to sigh immediately, because Samuel was rushing to report with a solemn face.
In the entire inventory of Jin Yao's territory, there was not a single white crystal coin or a grain of food left.
All managers in key positions were evacuated.
When Garfield was in power, he won the qualification for the Jinyao Territory as a sub-venue of the Human World Business Conference. Now it has been less than two months since the conference was held, and the construction of many venues has reached the final stage. This was originally a good thing, but how could Garfield cheapen Chen Rui? He demolished several key buildings on the grounds that the building was damaged and needed to be rebuilt, took away a group of key engineering personnel, and owed the migrant workers a large amount of salaries. .
Garfield also secretly instructed several thorny families to use some deliberately left handles as an excuse to cause trouble.
...
These are naturally the "gifts" that the former second prince Garfield deliberately left to the "elder brother". If the three-day "handover" time was not too short, Chen Rui had no doubt that this guy would be torn down the entire Jinyao territory. .
Garfield's reasons are very high-sounding. These materials and talents are the results of his seven years of hard work in managing the territory. Now that the territory is handed over, he will naturally take away his "property".
When Emperor Rex learned of this, he did not intervene and did not provide any assistance.
From the moment "Arthur" left the hall after the father-son argument that day, he was not only his most beloved son, but a real prince.
Infighting between the heirs to the throne. As long as it does not touch a certain bottom line, as an emperor, he will not interfere. This is the unspoken rule of empires or kingdoms through the ages. Those who can stand out in the battle and win the final victory are the best and most suitable candidates for the throne.
Baojianfeng emerges from sharpening. Emperor Rex also wanted to see the true skills of this son who returned after seven years, not only in terms of equipment.
Severely devastated? Or is it more courageous to solve the crisis?
This is not only Rex, but also a test for His Royal Highness the Third Prince by those watching forces.
"His Royal Highness, I can only take out seven hundred black crystal coins at most." Samuel lowered his head embarrassedly. In fact, the seven hundred black crystal coins were still money from Joanna and Ina, the golden knight. I usually don't have much concept of money, but now a penny stumped a hero, and for the first time felt ashamed.
Joanna was originally relatively well-off. But before, in order to rescue Samuel, he ran around to open up the joints, and he had spent almost all the money. Ina had almost lost all her money in the original nightmare, and her money was tight.
Seven hundred Black Crystal Coins is a large amount for a commoner's home, but for Jin Yao's territory, it is simply a drop in the bucket. doesn't work.
"Money is not a problem, you don't need to worry about it." Chen Rui shook his head, "In the end, it's a headache for me in terms of talent."
Chen Rui really doesn't worry about money. It is a bit of an exaggeration to say that the part of the black crystal coins earned by the magic world magic game is enough to cover the ground of the entire Jin Yao territory.
but. The management of a territory is inseparable from people, and this time Garfield can be described as a draw. Take away a large number of talents in key positions. Although Chen Rui and Isabella are outstanding domestic affairs experts, they cannot replace so many grassroots talents. Just like a pyramid, if there is no foundation in the middle and lower layers, no matter how excellent the tip is, it cannot be formed.
In the long run, people with money and policies can attract talents, but now the time is very tight and it is too late.
"I grew up in Jin Yao's territory, and I know some good talents. Some of them are not reused in the family. I should be able to recruit them for His Royal Highness. By the way, I still have a few cronies in the family..."
"The Camplot family?" Chen Rui seemed to have thought of something, and blurted out at the same time as Isabella, the couple smiled at each other in tacit understanding.
This scene made the fairy dragon beside her look a little hot. Although she didn't realize it, she pretended to understand: "Oh!"
Soon, Carlo Camplot, the patriarch of the Camplot family, one of the two major families in the Jinyao territory, and the former financial secretary, was summoned to the lord's mansion.
It is not the first time that Carlo has come to this mansion, but his mood at this time is extremely complicated.
The third prince "Arthur" had a great favor to the Camplot family, so Carlo once swore allegiance and served as the tax officer of the territory, and was deeply trusted.
However, after the disappearance of the third prince seven years ago, the acting lord, the second prince, Garfield, carried out a major purge of Jin Yao's territory, Carlo was removed from the position of tax officer, and the Camplot family was also persecuted and suppressed by Garfield. Countless benefits and money.
Since the Camplot family is the number one business family, it has been involved in various fields and is truly a wealthy country, which has caused some kind of fear in Emperor Rex. Garfield is a lord and has absolute full power to handle affairs in the territory, so Emperor Rex turned a blind eye to Garfield's actions and did not interfere too much, which made the Camplot family's The situation is even more miserable.
Later, Carlo's son Samuel defeated the first genius Paul in a duel, got the appreciation of Rex the Great, was canonized as a Golden Knight, and became a member of the Dragoon Legion, and the Camplot family found it again. Taking the opportunity of the rise, Carlo was appointed Financial Secretary.
in this favorable situation
, Carlo will inevitably have a new idea in his heart. Since "Arthur" has been missing for many years, the Camplot family must find new support if they want to maintain stability and grow further. Therefore, Carlo considered again and again, accepted the olive branch thrown by the fourth prince Luke, in order to compete with Garfield, who has been persecuting the family.
However, there were unforeseen circumstances, and Carlo unexpectedly encountered the "joint appeal door" and was dismissed and imprisoned. Samuel was also imprisoned for "assassinating" Garfield. Despite being pardoned by Emperor Rex, Samuel was labelled a "fallen man" and his life was at stake. Fortunately, the third prince "Arthur" who had been missing for many years appeared. Miraculously turned the situation around and cleared Samuel.
now. After "Arthur" regained control of Jin Yao's territory, he immediately summoned himself. Guilty? Or recruit? Or both? So how do you deal with it yourself? Continue to follow the current fourth prince Luke? Or go back and re-loyalty to the old master, the third prince "Arthur"?
For a time, Carlo was caught in a dilemma.
"Lord Carlo." Chen Rui's voice woke Carlo from his thoughts.
"How could Carlo dare to call him 'sir' in front of His Royal Highness?" Carlo bowed deeply, "Caro apologized to His Highness first."
"I told Samuel that neither you nor him need to apologize to me." Chen Rui saw the contradiction in Carlo's heart and smiled slightly: "Don't mention the past. Look first. look at this."
Carlo took Chen Rui over and handed over a magic leather scroll, and when he saw the words "Financial and Tax Officer Appointment Letter" on it, he was secretly apprehensive, and sure enough...
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse or worry, listen to me first." Chen Rui saw what Carlo was thinking, "I used to be His Majesty Rex's favorite prince, of course, I'm not sure if I like it now. However, what is certain is that I am now the third prince of the empire, the lord of Jin Yao's territory, and... one of the three great masters of human craftsmanship."
Carlo nodded, the return of Prince "Arthur" this time is really eye-catching. Just the name of that master craftsman is enough to move the world.
"You used to be the treasurer of the territory, and you have excellent talents. I have always valued you. This time I will return. Naturally, I want to use the old man I trust. This appointment letter is not for you personally. It is for Kan The Plot family, the specific candidates are up to you. I want real talents. The Kamplot family is one of the two major families in Jin Yao's territory, and was once my trusted family, so accepting this position is in In reason, you don't have to refuse, and you can't refuse, otherwise... I don't mind following Garfield's methods."
"Yes, Your Highness." The other party has already spoken to this point, and Carlo can't refuse, unless the Camplot family doesn't want to mix in Jin Yao's territory.
This is definitely unrealistic, because this is the foundation of the family, which has a history of dozens of generations, and has never left even in the most difficult times, let alone now.
"One more thing, Samuel, there will be no return to the Camplot family."
"I know, Your Highness." Carlo showed a gloomy look. He had persuaded Samuel, but failed. He knew very well the character of this son, and once he made a real decision, he would not change it.
"Samuel's following me is not a bad thing for the Camplot family or himself." Chen Rui saw Carlo's expression in his eyes and smiled: "It's like, you can't put eggs in In the same basket, this truth, as the controller of the big family, you should know better than me..."
Carlo used to be one of the chiefs of the three divisions. How rich is his experience, he has tasted the true meaning of these words, and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes. Is this still His Highness "Arthur" seven years ago?
"I understand." Carlo nodded, "Please, Your Highness, let Samuel go home as soon as possible, and I will officially announce his expulsion from the family."
"Yes, Lord Carlo really understands people, but unfortunately... In some respects, he is a fan of the authorities and chose the wrong direction for refuge, which is why he was in prison before."
Carlo bowed his head with a wry smile, without any excuse.
"It seems that you don't really understand now." Chen Rui shook his head. "You and the Camplot family have only one object of allegiance, and that is Your Majesty. No matter what you have to pay, how many benefits you give up, and no matter what Luke gives What benefits or promises do you have... This is the only way for the Camplot family to survive and develop. If you are willing to give up, you will get what you want. Although the Camplot family is currently at a low point, it is not necessarily one that seeks His Majesty. A real opportunity for 'protection'. For Samuel's sake, I'll give you a better chance. Jin Yao's territory is about to undergo great changes, shaking the entire empire and even the human world. As a prince and a master craftsman, I will His Majesty will pay attention to him again. There is a saying that 'the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it'. Even a father and son, for an emperor, cannot ignore a potential threat. Therefore, by my side, there needs to be a A pair of eyes that can observe the movements for His Majesty at any time - the tax officer, I think it is the most suitable person."
Carlo was shocked, looking at Chen Rui with incredible eyes.
At the end of the summoning and leaving the lord's mansion, the biggest thought in Carlo's mind was: Samuel's choice might really reverse the fate of the entire Camplot family... (To be continued..)
