Chapter 28 The First Meeting

After shopping in a certain jewelry store, a certain clothing store, and a certain glass product store, Armand suddenly realized that if he didn't complete this visit quickly, he would have to hunt monsters all the way to earn travel expenses and go home, so he immediately went to visit Frederick .

"We admire Earl Henry Wesson's bravery, fearlessness, and loyalty." Armand said to Frederick in fluent Rhine language, "We are extremely indignant to hear about the injustice of King William of your country recently. Entrust me as a representative to help Earl Wesson's family get through the difficulties."

Frederick had often heard lately that the Gaul kingdom was free and romantic, and all virtues were admired.

In the past, what he heard was false and he didn't care, but now seeing is believing, he was taken aback.

On the coffee table between the two of them was a purse made of purple silk, filled with gold coins.

Frederick didn't look at the money bag in front of him, and replied sincerely: "I would like to thank Your Excellency Armand and all Gaul friends for their concern. Wessen Territory is indeed facing some difficulties at present, but I believe everyone in the Territory If you work hard, you will get through this difficult time.”

Armand carefully observed Frederick's every move, trying to see through this kid who was not much older than himself.

The news he heard when he came to Wesson's leadership was very different from what he saw and heard after he came here. The people here did not panic and turmoil because the lord was young and there were conspiracy outside, but lived and worked in peace and contentment, full of hope for the future Hope, even all kinds of reasonable ways to cheat money emerge in endlessly.

As the pillar of the younger generation of the family and the favorite of the king, Armand received educational resources that are beyond the reach of ordinary people. A wealthy town is his classroom.

It was precisely because of his experience in governing a place that he could understand the difficulty of governing Wesen Territory after he calmed down.

As far as stabilizing people's hearts is concerned, he doesn't think it can be done with just a few songs, and there must be something behind it that he doesn't know.

However, he only saw Frederick's clothes for a while... Although it was low-key and simple, it looked quite energetic.

"Baron Wesson is not very old. This is his advantage. He has not been baptized in a luxurious life, but he can live a simple life and save a lot of expenses."

Armand concluded the first one in his mind.

At the same time, Frederick was smiling and muttering in his heart.

He didn't understand what the Gaul Kingdom was doing. His father's fans sent him hundreds of gold coins?

The reason for sending money is that he is being tricked by his own king?

What does this make other people think, what does the king think, is the Wesson family really collaborating with the enemy?

Meowing meow, could it be a divorce plan?

He suddenly realized that he really couldn't understand creatures like "fans", no matter which world they were from.

However, this is about two kilograms of gold coins, so they can't be taken back, it's a long way away.

Frederick made a decision by saying polite words.

Anyway, the king has already broken his face with himself, so let's accept the money.

As for other things, as long as the publicity is in place, even if they say it is a bribe or something in the future, people will only feel that they were forced to lie by the situation.

Moreover, Armand has not said his last name so far, and he did not mention his last name when he reported his name as a "fan". Obviously, he regards this time as a personal behavior.

After the polite conversation between the two of them, Armand asked, "I have a question. Could you please explain it to me?"

Frederick nodded slightly and replied, "Please tell me, Your Excellency."

Armand asked: "May I ask how you united the people in the territory when Wesen Territory was facing a huge crisis?"

Frederick was taken aback, not expecting this question.

"Easy," he replied, "to meet their needs."

Armand said in surprise: "But people's desires are endless. To satisfy everyone's needs is tantamount to filling up the ocean."

Frederick didn't refute, just smiled and said "Yes" and there was no further explanation, and there was no explanation.

At present, psychology is only a branch of philosophy, and there are various theories. Because statistics have not been introduced, many studies are based on one example, so there is no mainstream thinking.

When you propose a humanism, opponents can bring a dozen or twenty negative examples to you to debate with you, and ask you whether it is objective enough, and whether it is enough to bring over two people.

It is very difficult to explain Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory to people here, let alone such a trendy thing as using psychology to guide the development of territories.

At the same time, in order to digest the coming victims, Frederick began to try to break the regional ethnic concept attached to the feudal system and build nationalism, a more trendy thing.

He is now relying on the recently emerging maltose and steel trade to endorse the promise that everyone's money needs can be met after the opening of the canal, and on the other hand relying on the external conflicts brought about by King William's maddening blind operation to unite the interior and everything that can be united with nationalism This person has made the morale within the Wesen collar keep rising.

But Armand was thinking in his heart that these things were beyond the imagination of a child like Frederick, so he just made up an excuse without knowing the details, and couldn't continue after being smashed.

In Wessenburg, if the swordsman Richard Nall had this political knowledge in his mind, he would have embraced his thighs and become a duke, so there must be an expert behind Baron Wessen.

It’s just that it’s unknown who this expert is, and it’s most likely one of those scholars from Constantbul.

Many people fled during the civil strife in Constantbul. Among them were famous scholars and consultants unknown to outsiders. All of these people were talents, and their words were reasonable, and they could be reused wherever they went.

Armand felt itchy for a while, it would be great if only such a person could invite him back.

In order to meet this expert, he stayed here for three days. As a result, he didn't see anyone beside Frederick except a senior gang leader from the southern part of the Kingdom of Sardinia.

The day before Armand left, Frederick gave him a gift.

"What is this?" Armand looked curiously at the thing in front of him.

It was a regular hexagonal wooden box with precious wood and exquisite decoration. On the lid were glass flower patterns of six different colors.

Open the lid, this is a pair of glass checkers, the board and chess pieces are made of stained glass, and the chess pieces of different colors correspond to different flowers.

With a formulaic smile on Frederick's face, he said, "This is checkers, a small game that can be played by yourself or six people. Give it to Françoise."

Armand is well-informed, and Frederick asked him to talk about the outside world when he was free these days.

As he talked, he talked about his sister Françoise, a little girl who was three years older than Frederick.

Frederick was going to take the initiative to meet the victims, which required a good relationship with the local lord, and prepared a lot of small gifts for politeness.

Because there are two lords who have children who are about the same age as themselves, the gifts include two newly invented checkers.

It is not appropriate for Armand to come all the way here and let him go back empty-handed, but Frederick didn't have many presents to hand, so he gave this beautiful and interesting glass checkers to his sister to save face. The lining is decent.

Facts have proved that in this era of lack of money for entertainment, small brain-intensive games such as checkers are quite popular. After learning the rules, Armand played left hand against right hand all night.
