book of old days

Chapter 255
"How does the lamb chop taste?" Duke Lanster asked casually.

"Not bad." Sean said, wiping his mouth with a napkin. He was thinking about how to speak, but the Duke of Lancet asked first, "How is Eric doing in school recently, Professor Sean?"

"Very good, Eric is a very thoughtful student, very sharp and eager to learn."

"Hehe, isn't it, that really makes people happy." The Duke said, but there was not much smile on his face.

He fiddled with the food casually, "I heard about Eric's class today. Professor Sean's visit is not just for academic issues, right?"

Sean's heart skipped a beat, and he said that the Duke of Lancaster is very sensitive, does he know something?
"Oh, how do you see it?"

"It seems right, Professor Sean must have heard something, right? So obvious hint, Professor Sean thinks I can't see it?" The Duke seemed a little unhappy.

Eric's face became a little embarrassed.

"Professor Sean, I told my father those three stories, as well as your hint, and he said that I don't have to worry, nothing will happen."

Sean is really weird now. His hint is not particularly obvious, but it is not difficult to find if he is interested. will not care.

He suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Has the Duke already known what is going to happen?"

"Of course, Ulysses discussed it with us a long time ago, and everything is in the plan." The Duke of Lancet's words surprised Sean, if the poor and the poor would choose to join Ulysses Shaw En is not surprising. For those low-level people who live in poverty and struggle to survive, getting a healthy body and being treated fairly and justly is like going to heaven.

But for those with vested interests, Sean really couldn't figure out why they reached an agreement with Ulysses. Could it be that they are all idealists?Give up your power and status for the fairness and justice of the world?

But Sean immediately denied this speculation. He still knew some of the past deeds of the Duke of Lancaster, and he definitely could not be called kind or generous.

Not to mention 'there are only individuals who betray the class, there is no class who betrays the class'.

The Duke of Lancet said 'we', although this 'we' did not specify, but Sean instinctively felt that it should refer to those high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Sword Castle City and other power classes.

Only with the support and acquiescence of these people can Ulysses carry out his plan recklessly.

"The Duke knows Ulysses' plan? Knows what he is going to do?"

The Duke of Lancet's expression was not without complacency, "Of course I know, in fact, I have given him a lot of guidance and advice on his plan."

Sean was even more confused now.

No, there is definitely a problem here.

"Don't your lord the Duke think that Ulysses' plan is a little too—extreme?"

The Duke of Lancet smiled: "Although there may be some cruelty and blood, but in the face of the wheel of the times, there will inevitably be some victims, so..."

He raised his wine glass to salute, and then drank it in one gulp, the bright red wine left along the corner of his mouth, soaking his white collar.

The Duke of Lancet looked at the brightly lit city in the distance, at the factories billowing in thick smoke and the ships on the river, with a look of excitement on his face.

"See, Professor Sean, that is the power of industry. My grandfather was one of the rulers of Sword Castle. At that time, there were still many noble families in Brighton. The moment my grandfather saw the ship , he knew that the change of the times was coming, and he invested all his assets in the development of river transportation and steel. Facts have proved that his choice was correct. Today, many noble families have declined, but the Lancet family is still brilliant .

Times are advancing, technology is developing, and Brighton will become stronger and stronger.

But we have encountered a problem, that is population. Sometimes population can be wealth, but sometimes it can only become a burden.

With the development of science and technology, the land is destined to be distributed. The farmers who lost their land and the homeless people on the roadside are potential threats. In recent decades, more and more landless farmers have come to the city. To make a living, but there are only so many factories, and jobs are bound to be insufficient.

And what is even more dangerous is that some dangerous ideas from Faris are spreading among those lower class people. What is everyone equal, what is natural human rights, what is the refusal to work overtime, if this continues, sooner or later there will be trouble.

So Ulysses' plan is very timely, if it succeeds, all troubles will be a thing of the past. "

Now Sean discovered the problem. Could it be that the Ulysses plan that the Duke of Lancaster knew was not the same as what he knew?
Yes, this is the most reasonable explanation. Ulysses first used a cover to confuse those in power, and then secretly carried out his own plan.

But he still needs to make sure.

"Then can you tell me about this plan of Ulysses?"

The Duke of Lancet snorted coldly, "You want to know? Hehe, Professor Sean, I can see that you are a 'good guy'. For the sake of reminding Eric, I won't bother with you, but some It’s better for you not to know too much about things, just be your professor with peace of mind, it will be better for you.”

The Duke's tone could not conceal the arrogance of a powerful figure, and everything was under control, but he tried his best to be polite. Perhaps in his eyes, his behavior was already considered decent, and there were even some respectful corporals. the taste.

Xiao En sneered secretly in his heart, he could almost guess what the so-called plan on the surface was.

It is nothing more than to lure the snake out of the hole and catch them all in one go.

Perhaps Ulysses used this excuse to persuade those in power to ignore his actions.

Who would have thought that Ulysses would use the power of the ancient gods.
