Chapter 324 -174- Castel’s Ambition

"It is necessary to eliminate the undead. Considering the difficulty of purging, I suggest hiring a Blazing Sun Mage. In order to save costs, you can promise the other party a forest where you can continue to collect Warcraft materials."

"Don't worry about eliminating the undead, we have a professional team."

"I see, I forgot that you have a very good relationship with the church... Then this is no problem. In addition, there is road construction. I agree with the proposal of building roads, but I am a little confused, that is, why should we build it directly to the general road? Going to the border of the Roman Principality, although it is convenient for trade, is a bit dangerous..."

"This is related to the trade of Bettel Territory, and also to Castel's next plan. As for security issues, Bettel is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Just strengthen the fortress."

"I understand, and regarding the issue of sustainable forest management, I know a few elven druids with good connections..."

"That would be great. Your Excellency, Baron, could you introduce him to me?"

"Of course, I'm happy to help you."

"Don't worry about the funds, I'll just take care of it."

"This couldn't be better. Relying on Bettel alone, there is definitely no way to raise enough funds..."

…

The chat between Baron Bertel and Charlotte became more and more enjoyable, and the chat became more and more detailed. Later, Charlotte even called the maid Shirley over. Whenever the two of them discussed a measure, Shirley immediately came to the sheepskin. Make changes to the roll.

Unconsciously, time passed during the discussion, and when Baron Bertel and Charlotte finished sorting out the development plan of the barony, it was already dark.

Charlotte picked up the parchment and looked through it again, feeling very satisfied.

She looked at Baron Bertel and smiled:

"Sure enough, this kind of plan still needs to be improved by the parties involved to make it more feasible. Your Excellency, Baron, thank you for your support."

Baron Bertel waved his hand quickly:

"Your Majesty, you are so polite. This is all for Baron Bettel. In comparison, I should thank you more."

Having said this, Baron Bertel hesitated for a moment, looking a little confused:

"However, I have a question, why are you paying so much attention to Bettel? Although Bettel is in a special position, it is still a small barony, but you have spent so much energy and specially designed it. A development plan…”

After hearing what Baron Bertel said, Charlotte smiled and said:

"The key lies in the special situation of Beitel Territory. It is a trade thoroughfare, but it has been in decline for many years due to historical reasons. It is very suitable as a pilot project for revitalization and development..."

Baron Bertel's heart moved:

"Pilot? You mean... Beitel Territory is just an attempt. If it goes well here, you plan to apply similar planning models to other parts of the territory?"

Charlotte nodded slightly:

"Yes, the boat is small and easy to turn around. Due to its location and resources, Baron Bettle is the most suitable place to be the highlight of the promotion in my opinion, and it is easy to achieve results."

As she spoke, she sighed again:

"Although Castel has a good foundation, I have also discovered many problems since I took office as lord for more than a year. In fact, they all exist in food production, urban construction, public security management, education, military supplies, the gap between rich and poor...etc. The problem is that the nobles are in charge of their own affairs, the territorial power is fragmented, and the lords have limited influence on the entire territory except for the direct jurisdiction. "

"It's just that Castel leads a great business and enjoys the development of trade with its superior geographical location. The prosperous commerce temporarily covers up some problems."

"I hope there will be a long-term plan for the future development of the entire territory, but it is too difficult for the current aristocratic system to formulate a development plan for the entire earldom and implement the plan to the territories of each vassal. , it is also unrealistic to rely solely on the Castel family’s funds.”

"Castle is not a centralized earldom. If you want the nobles to support the development plan and contribute to the development plan, you must let them see the benefits..."

After listening to Charlotte's words, Baron Bertel suddenly understood:

"I see, I understand what you mean. You want to use the Baron of Bettel as a breakthrough point to formulate a long-term development plan for the entire territory, and you must obtain the substantial approval, cooperation and implementation of the nobles."

"If you think about it carefully, this is not impossible. As long as the plan can bring enough benefits to the nobles, and as long as the interests of the nobles are tied to the development of Castel, they will most likely support it... "

Halfway through, Baron Bertel suddenly stopped.

Because he suddenly realized a problem.

If the Castel family's long-term plan can be recognized by the nobles in the entire territory, if this long-term plan can be truly implemented and implemented seriously, wouldn't it mean that the Castel family has the ability to control the entire territory? , will it also steadily improve?

This is inevitable, because if you want to implement such a comprehensive plan, it will inevitably be accompanied by meticulous management of the entire territory.

Perhaps at first Castel needed the nobles to implement the plan and get the approval of the nobles, but as time went by and with the smooth implementation of the plan, Castel's influence on the entire territory would inevitably increase.

When the nobles adapt to this development model led by Castel, Castel is likely to replace them step by step, replace the role played by the nobles in it, reshape the management model of the entire territory around this planning model, and even... completely empty the nobles!

This is not impossible, or in other words, if Castel is willing to work in this direction, it is possible to do it.

Moreover, as long as the operation is done properly, as long as the nobles enjoy the benefits brought by the development plan led by Castel, they may jump into this sweet "trap" unknowingly...

There are not many nobles with foresight, and most people are short-sighted. Baron Betel is very sure of this.

Thinking about this, Baron Betel has thought of the deeper meaning behind this plan...

This is not only a plan for the development of Castel, but also for the centralization of the Castel family in the future!

Of course, in order to achieve Castel's goal, the Castel family must have a lord with high enough prestige and enough conviction of the nobles, and a long enough ruling time.

Does Castel have such a lord?

Of course there is.

In Baron Bethel's opinion, the girl in front of him is the one.

A smart, powerful, and young lord who perfectly meets the requirements.

The only shortcoming is probably the issue of offspring, but the other party is so young and the future is full of variables. Baron Bethel does not think this is a big problem, even if... the other party has made a declaration of celibacy in front of the statue.

Thinking of this, Baron Bethel's expression when looking at Charlotte completely changed.

Facing the baron's complicated eyes, Charlotte smiled:

"Sir Baron Bethel, I wonder if you are willing to help me complete this first step in Baron Bethel's territory?"
