Chapter 280 The war has begun
Lynn originally thought that this sudden attack would have some impact on subsequent events, such as the royal family being frightened and calling Charlotte back, but in fact, he was overthinking.

After the news was sent back to the palace, not only did the royal family not ask Lynn to send Charlotte back, but the words vaguely revealed that this was a good thing, and it would be even better if it could be done again.

The reason is easy to understand if you think about it.

A story without danger and hardship is not a story that will attract people's attention. What everyone wants to see is that the protagonist stands out from the crowd and stands on a high ground, but it is impossible to go all the way up or go flat. There must be negative events. , so as to bring out the excellence of the protagonist.

The crisis that Charlotte encountered this time can just pave the way for subsequent publicity.

"Look, our Highness is in danger and wants to save everyone."

This is probably the kind of rhetoric that will be circulated among the people.

After learning about it, Lynn passed the news to Charlotte, and Charlotte's behavior was not like ordinary people's performance.

Ordinary people would like to go back to a safer place after being kidnapped, but she seemed a little lucky.

Are you glad you didn't get sent back?

probably.

Lynn didn't think about it that much, because he was busy with the rest.

The first is the problem of the city.

The people in this city are very poor, very poor, their trouser pockets are clinking, they can't afford food, and they can't afford other things.

If you want to save them, you have to deduct some free food from other places.

Then Lynn was also glad that Charlotte was not sent back.

He took Charlotte like he was carrying a token for walking, wherever he went, he was willing to come out to help with a little food.

After patching together, the problem of eating was finally solved temporarily.

But this is not a long-term solution, because no one is willing to spend their own pockets for people in other cities.

If you want to be full, you have to be self-reliant.

Regrettably, due to the long-term desertion and the barren land, it is almost impossible to produce food here. They must develop a reliable industry in a short period of time and continue to circulate in order to save themselves.

But this involves another problem.

Originally, the industry of Mingyue City had been turned into a simple black city under Hesery's control. If they were asked to put down their knives, they would not even know what they could do.

So, what to do?

This time, Lynn didn't do it himself, but asked Corinna to pass this kind of news back home.

He felt that a group of people who have been licking blood for so long have nowhere to go now, so it will always attract the attention of some ambitious people, right?
Sure enough, after hearing the news, Duke Christine sent a few more people to "receive" these people on the same day-this is actually a secret message, and Lynn should not have known it, but it is a pity that Miss Corinne He acted as an inner ghost without family consciousness, and revealed the information without reservation.

In this regard, Lynn pretended not to know.

He himself has some of the same thoughts as the Duke, so since he can make this decision, he will definitely not give up the spoils that can be obtained.

On the day when he passed the news back, behind the back of the butler, he met with the leaders of the two gangs.

Although Hessery is dead, the two gangs still exist, and they still can't be defeated, because the bottom-level members of the gangs don't know that they are actually a toy, and they all think that the other party is a sworn enemy who doesn't want them to live. If it is, it can still provide them with cohesion. If it is gone, it is probably because the tree fell and the monkeys dispersed to form new gangs.

In short, the fluctuations in the upper echelon did not affect most people, and the prestige of the two leaders still existed.

After Lynn provided them with food, Lynn naturally took over Hessery's position and became the new boss of the two bosses.

On the day of the meeting, he gave the two leaders some tasks as well as certain rewards and promises.

So when Christine secretly met with the two leaders later, they barely concealed their banditry, and even directed and acted out a chaotic, violent and bloody scene.

This made the people from Christine judge them as a group of completely bandits, without any value for inclusion.

Well, judgments have no value, so what to do with them?

lost?

so many people?How to lose it?
And the royal family has already started to spread propaganda in other places. If people find out that your place is an empty city, wouldn't the royal family also have to die?

So, don't lose it.

But if you don’t lose it, how can you fix it?

It's impossible to support this group of people who don't do any work for nothing, right?

The royal family hopes that Christine can do this. After all, high welfare is also something that can be promoted, but Christine is not a fool. Why should I distribute it to these commoners when I finally have a surplus?
With nothing to do, this group of people is like a basket of rotten eggs that a poor family has left for a month. No one wants to eat them, but they are reluctant to lose them. After all, it is rare to have so many eggs.

Now Christine is a little embarrassed.

The Duke's idea was to sell the city, and the buyers had secretly contacted several buyers, but now that the city has not been cleaned up, how can anyone dare to let people see it?

Take it in your hands, the people on this earth are disobedient and disobedient, and they might backstab themselves when the time comes.

No matter how you look at it, it is a dilemma.

At this time, "Korinna" made a suggestion.

If you can't compile it and refuse to be honest and obedient, then you have to use unconventional means.

The Duke said no at this time, because the bloodshed would affect the little princess, and then implicate the royal family, and then they would be unlucky.

Corinna also said that she would stabilize the little princess and pull her out to travel to avoid the limelight. With this time, it was enough for them to be obedient at least on the surface.

At this point, the Duke reluctantly agreed, and ordered Blazer to do it, and Corinna also went out to put aside the relationship.

Corinna agreed, and then turned her head to rely on her surname to threaten the other party. If you don't obey, you will all die.

The two gang leaders had never met Corinna, but the other party's posture did not look like a fake tiger's prestige. After understanding (the information given by Lynn), they confirmed that the other party's identity was real, and then they began to panic.

They thought that Corinna had angered Christine because of her "acting", so they found Lynn to complain and wanted a solution.

Lynn said that he can't do anything, because he is also a part-time worker, but as long as they stay quiet for a while, the matter will probably pass.

The two chiefs nodded suspiciously—in fact, after Hesery was gone, they had been very quiet for a long time, and the only conflict was acting.

Then Lynn came up with a new idea.

He said that if he really quieted down as soon as he said that it seemed a bit inconsistent with our personality, the previous "acting" might be exposed, which would arouse even greater anger from Christine, or let's pretend to cut Let's get some people, it's better to be real, anyway, the "messenger" will not live here for a long time, and he will do it. Let's pretend to kill people, and then move these people out of the city or find a place in the city Hide - anyway, the city is so big, it must be no problem to hide some people.

The two chiefs agreed to Lin En, so in the middle of a stormy night, some of the few people in the city disappeared.

Corinna handed over this information to Christine, and the Duke was satisfied now, and expressed his willingness to provide them with the most basic necessities of survival until someone else took over.

As long as the time they're on his hands is kept quiet, even superficially, it will allow him to find the right buyer.

It is a pity that the previous sellers all regretted it at this time and refused to offer a large amount of money in exchange for a useless city.

Because, the war really broke out!

The rebel army broke out from the Rotara province in the south of the Rhine, and it took only seven days to completely control the entire Rotara. At the same time, in other provinces, large and small armed forces everywhere set fire to towns.

Although the royal family has made preparations, there is no way to clear the rebellion in the first place because there are too many places for the rebellion and they are not concentrated.

So things got more and more troublesome.

Most of these rebels are well-trained troops of the lords, not temporary militias. They are organized, disciplined and targeted, and can accurately strike every place they want to occupy it.

Another seven days have passed, and the flames of the rebellion have burned about two-fifths of the Rhine area.

Fortunately, the royal family did not eat dry food. After a short period of unease, with Catalina as the center, the Knights of the Rhine at the head, and the troops of the lords of the provinces whose propaganda from the surrounding royal family had worked, began to stabilize the situation.

It has to be said that the benefits of long-term peace are still possible.

With the support of the majority of the people, it took only three days for the fiery advance of the rebels to come to a standstill. After another two days, their territory even began to shrink.

Although this is a normal phenomenon of solidification after swelling, under the hype of the royal family, everyone still believes that this rebellion was just an accident, and as long as a little time passes, everything will return to its original appearance.

However, when everything seemed to be different and developing to a bad place, Mingyue City, on the contrary, quietly glowed with new vitality.

Of course, it's not that this piece of land can suddenly grow tens of thousands of catties of rice per mu, but that Mingyue City unexpectedly has a new meaning of existence.

Before, Mingyue City was a well-known underground black market exchange. As long as they had money, most people could exchange what they wanted here.

However, after Hesery's death, people without the blessing of connections naturally stopped coming to Mingyue City to trade, but when the world began to fall into chaos, they had no choice but to come again.

Because they need weapons, or military supplies.

In this war, many lords were forced to participate. However, they participated in the war and were responsible for their own profits and losses. At most, the royal family would only give some negligible subsidies, which were nothing compared to military expenses.

But these lords are not all wealthy people, if the war is to last for a long time, their expenses may not be able to bear it.

As a result, some "long-term vision" lords have already begun to think about saving money in some way.

Because of the impact of the war, the prices of food and military supplies have risen. The food is good, and the royal family is controlling it. Merchants dare not raise prices aggressively, but military supplies are different.

The royal family can produce their own military supplies, but the lords can't. If they want it, they can only buy it through channels.

But these channels are formally in the hands of the royal family.

The shrewd lords will definitely not agree.

We all helped you fight the war, so we have to send you money, right?

Co-author paid part-time job?
So, they turned their eyes to the merchants.

As the merchants who have their shadows in their favor, they will definitely assemble a large amount of military supplies at this time. Even if they are looking for someone temporarily, it is impossible to let go of such an opportunity to make a lot of money, even though it is a prohibited matter.

Therefore, under the tacit communication between the caring lord and the businessman, they became trading partners.

With a trading partner, then, there must be a trading place, right?

This is not a clean thing, and being found is almost equal to death.

Therefore, Mingyue City, which once had an "excellent resume", has become their first choice for trading—the sky is falling, and there is still a duke to support it.

Only by collecting the handling fees given by both parties for providing the site, Mingyue City has made a lot of money. Even at this time, it can afford enough food to satisfy its hunger, and even has a surplus.

At the beginning, Hersey used Christine's name to spread the publicity, but now the benefits fell on Lynn.

"No wonder history is always in chaos. War wealth is indeed a big fortune."

Lynn looked at the report in his hand and sighed slightly.

In fact, this wealth came from some inexplicable, but in the end it solved their urgent needs, and even hid it from Duke Christine, so that the money was almost reduced to his pocket money. After arriving in Christine, only him, Corinna, Charlotte, and other attendants who are used to replace the butler are left in Mingyue City.

Compared with the butler, this servant was obviously not as loyal. Lin En only played a few tricks to let him out, and then firmly controlled him.

The current Mingyue City is actually roughly equal to his Yiyantang.

People who want money, power, power, and even force have some—those who "disappear" are not really missing.

Shaking his head and clearing his mind of thoughts, Lynn picked up another report.

When he saw the first line of text, he was slightly taken aback, and it took him a while to remember that this was something he had promised Charlotte to investigate.

So he got up from his seat, took the report, and knocked on Charlotte's door.

"Charlotte, there is news about what I inquired about before."
