Chapter 124 The So-Choice and Freedom

The new city will be busier than before in the early days of its establishment, during which time no one has a moment's rest.

Amelia, who was originally in a leisure time, participated in the management again and assisted Joyce in making various arrangements.

Although Ron has already set the development direction of the territory, the plan will never keep up with the changes. In the process of promulgating policies, there will always be various small issues, which need to be dealt with urgently.

If the current Arnold Territory is different from the past, it is the management organization. Many management organizations have been reorganized or even abolished before setting up new organizations.

The scope of affairs and scope of power managed by the new agency is more clear, and citizens can quickly find the corresponding agency that can report to them when they encounter something.

In this way, there is no need to submit applications layer by layer, and the processing and response can be made quickly, which greatly saves time and cost.

The most worth mentioning is that the newly established security team in the city, with Byron as the captain of the security team, consists of 500 knights and former guards under his command, with a total number of [-] people.

If they want to maintain law and order in the city, these people are currently unable to really manage the Miracle City with nearly 10 people.

Therefore, in recent days, Byron has been very busy. In order not to disappoint the lord who asked him to take on this important task, he often goes to battle in person.

If it was something big, it would be considered an achievement, but every time it happened, it was a trivial matter. By the time Byron rushed over, they had already finished arguing and went home.

Because of these things, Byron did not establish any prestige in the security team. Those who were transferred from the guards did not obey him very much, and of course they would not disobey orders or disobey orders, but just said a few words behind their backs. inevitable.

On this day, Byron received Marvin who came to work in the security team building.

"You look good, it shouldn't be too bad."

Marvin glanced at Byron's face, and then smiled. The two had a good personal relationship and could make some small jokes.

Byron personally served Marvin tea, sat down and sighed helplessly, and said, "Mr. Marvin, I hope you can help me."

Hearing this, Ma Wen's face straightened, and his tone became serious, "Have you thought about it? I know a little about your current situation. If I really come to help you, then you will be the captain of the security team."

When the words stopped, Byron understood what Marvin meant. He nodded heavily, "My position is not important. I don't want to see the law and order issues entrusted to me by the lord become a mess."

Marvin took a deep look at him, then smiled and nodded in agreement. Just as Byron was showing joy, he said again: "However, I can't help you now. The lord entrusted me with a task, and I need to go out for a while."

"Oh? A mission to go out."

Marvin said with a smile: "It's not a big deal. Your lord is going to establish business relations with various territories. We need to repair the roads between the various territories. Let me negotiate."

Byron's face changed. If commerce is established, the law and order issues in the territory will require more manpower.

Seeing his expression, Marvin laughed, "Actually, I came to you for this matter, even if you don't tell me, I will help you."

When Byron looked relaxed, Marvin pointed to his identity card of the captain of the security team, and said: "Also, the position of captain of the security team is entrusted to you by the lord, and will not be handed over to others. You must remember that live."

Byron: ".Sorry, I said something wrong."

His apology refers to the sentence 'my position is not important'. From another perspective, it is a contempt for the authority granted to him by Ron.

"Haha, I won't talk much. Oh, by the way, your tea isn't very tasty. I'll ask Mr. Thomas to order some for you another day. His collection is all top quality." Marvin stood up and waved his hand to reject Byron's offer. deliver.

As the door was closed, Byron picked up his job identity card and rubbed it with his thumb, feeling restless for a long time.

-

Baron's Mansion, the living room.

Ron received Viscount Gordon and his next successor Michelle here.

"It's a pity that the college has already started. Marina went to the college a month ago, otherwise I would have seen you."

Michelle sighed regretfully, and then congratulated: "Ron, congratulations on building Miracle City, we have heard what you said on stage~"

Although it was unclear why Michelle mentioned Marina, Ron responded politely.

"I also heard that Uncle is ready to pass on the title to you, does Uncle have such a thing?" Ron looked at Viscount Gordon.

"The territory has not changed in my hands for many years. I want to pass the lord's seat to Michelle to see if there will be any changes." Viscount Gordon said truthfully without concealing it.

Michelle was stunned, and suddenly understood, and said helplessly, "Father, don't compare me with Ron. No matter what, I can't reach his level."

The establishment of the Miracle City in the Kingdom has been widely spread, and many nobles have paid great attention to it, and through analysis, they have found a feat that cannot be replicated.

The big mountain at the front is 'resources', other noble territories don't have so many resources available to supply the entire city.

But Miracle City is different. The total population is less than [-], and less than half of the resources have been used, and the excess resources are still being sold. The analysis of this data has surprised everyone.

But what they don't know is that these resources are only what Ron let them see, and there are some that they can't see, which are invaluable and innumerable.

The purple-quality [Outstanding People] is not that simple. Although it is not inexhaustible, it is impossible if these people just want to use it up.

Ron smiled lightly, looked at Michelle and said, "Are you satisfied with the gift I sent someone?"

He had promised to give gifts to Michelle and Marina before, but because he was too busy, he sent someone to deliver them.

"Thank you so much, Ron, your gift is the most satisfying to me." Speaking of this topic, Michelle's undisguised excitement showed that he was indeed very satisfied.

Several people chatted for a long time, and Ron invited them to stay for a dinner. At the banquet, the two were full of praise for the various delicacies served. Many foods that had never been seen before entered the mouth, which left a deep impression on people. impression.

In order to maintain the aristocratic demeanor, the two Viscount Gordon did not eat openly, but they could not talk about eating slowly.

After a good meal, Ron chatted with Viscount Gordon about business.

"Uncle, my territory plans to form a business group to connect all the territories in the kingdom and build a huge trade market. I wonder if you would like to take a stake?"

Ron laughed, and both Gordon and his son were taken aback.

The next day.

Ron personally sent Gordon and his son off. The conversation last night was very pleasant, and the matter was settled in a few words.

Back in the carriage of Viscount Gordon, the Viscount Gordon said after a long silence, "The baron is taking care of us. Even without the help of our family, there are many nobles who are willing to sacrifice their interests to participate."

"I know, father." Michelle nodded. He assisted in handling the affairs of the Viscounty, and saw many things more clearly than before.

"Well, our family has always been helped by the Arnold family."

Viscount Gordon was full of emotion, and Michelle wanted to ask in doubt, but Viscount Gordon didn't answer.

A few days later, Marquis Alfred came to visit, and he brought his only daughter, the daughter of Marquis Teresa.

After only leaving for a few months, Teresa herself did not expect such a big change in Arnold's territory, and she was most deeply touched by this.

In the living room, Ron received the two of them. Compared with Viscount Gordon, who likes to chat about family affairs, Marquis Alfred prefers to talk about political affairs. After all, the status and class of the two are different, and the Marquis has a broader view.

"Baron Arnold, you are astonishing. Others pay attention to your powerful knight, but I admire your leadership ability more."

The Marquis said sincerely, his words fell into Ron's ears, but it made people feel embarrassed.

I have leadership skills?

Why don't I know it myself?
Ron pretended to be calm, and said modestly that the Marquis was overrated, and that he was not as powerful as he said.

"It doesn't matter if the baron doesn't want to admit it, I can understand."

The Marquis nodded knowingly, then changed the topic, and asked: "I remember that there were only a little over 3 people in Arnold's Territory, but now it has almost exceeded 10. Those refugees who came here are unwilling to return to their hometown. Take root."

Speaking of this, the Marquis paused for a moment, and then asked, "Can the Baron explain it to me? How do you know that those people will choose to stay?"

Seeing the Marquis's burning eyes, Ron felt a toothache, and when he was thinking about whether to say something perfunctory, the voice of the Marquis came, "Please don't be perfunctory, Baron."

This old fox is so difficult to deal with.

Next to him, Teresa's eyes flickered, as if a shooting star had passed by, she pursed her lips and stared closely at Ron.

Ron pondered for a moment, and said, "Because they have reasons why they can't leave."

He didn't expect that his well-hidden scheme would still be seen through by Marquis Alfred.

Things that other people, even Amelia, didn't notice.Refugees have their own hometown, and Ron never stopped them from going back, but he didn't give them other options either.

"Appreciate further details."

The Marquis Alfred put on a posture of listening attentively, with an air of vowing not to give up until he understood.

"They are a group of low-level laborers who are not valued. They run around every day to make a living. They can do whatever the lord asks them to do. It doesn't matter."

Ron's expression was extremely indifferent, and the words he said seemed ruthless. This was the first time Teresa saw his expression. In the past, she always had a warm and friendly expression, but now she didn't know why. She didn't hate it, and her heart throbbed for a while, she was very puzzled about her changes.

Ron's voice continued.

"It's also at the bottom, but in Arnold's territory, they are more free and can make their own choices. This city was built by them themselves. Would they still want to leave such a place and go to that impersonal homeland?"

Hearing Ron's rhetorical question, Marquis Alfred woke up like a dream, his eyes widened and his breathing stagnated.

After a long time, the Marquis let out a sigh of relief, looked at Ron, and said in a complicated tone: "I have been taught."

"It's overrated, I just know what they need better than Lord Marquis."

"Choice and freedom? But have you ever thought that it will be a hidden danger."

Hearing this, Ron smiled lightly, "Master Marquis seems to have misunderstood, the 'choice' here is the choice of survival, and 'freedom' is the freedom I give."

Freedom does not mean equality.

In this extraordinary world with clear class divisions, talking about equality is crazy, and Ron himself is a nobleman, why should he lower his status?

The Marquis understood what he said. The so-called 'freedom' was only within the scope of Arnold's territory. Once they left the territory, they couldn't talk about freedom.

As long as they are clear about this, they will not have any rebellious psychology, not only that, but also consolidate Ron's position for their own 'freedom'.

At that time, whoever dares to hurt Ron will be the enemy of all the citizens.

Thinking of this, the Marquis felt chills down his spine. Was such a deep city owned by a 16-year-old boy?
"Master Marquis, do you still have doubts in your heart?" Ron asked softly.

"...No, not anymore." The Marquis replied cautiously.

kindness?
Ron glanced at him, feeling weird.

"In that case, may I ask the Marquis a question?"

These words made the Marquis's heart tighten, and he said in a serious tone, "Excuse me."

"How did Lord Marquis know?"

As a high-ranking princess, Amelia can't understand the needs of the common people at the bottom. Although she has the purple "chess player" entry related to strategy, it is also a talent.

She has learned a lot from the book, she has a wide range of insights, and she has an unrivaled view of the big picture.But never really touched the bottom civilians.

She knew almost nothing about these insignificant matters, so it was normal that she hadn't noticed Ron's purpose, but the Marquis was also a high-ranking person, how did he know?
This made Ron very curious.

Later, the Marquis gave the answer that surprised him - too many houses were built.

The original residents of Arnold's Territory are only in the early 3s, but the buildings in Miracle City are built according to the number of [-], which is unreasonable!

It has to be you, Lord Marquis.

Ron sighed deeply in his heart. After the two continued to chat, Ron invited the two to stay for a dinner. The dishes were still the same as those of Viscount Gordon, very rich and luxurious.

Time comes to night.

At the dining table, Teresa took a sip and said in surprise: "Irene's cooking skills have improved a lot."

The Marquis at the side cast a glance at his daughter and said nothing.

Ron chuckled lightly: "Miss Teresa can taste it?"

Teresa knew she was rude, she smiled apologetically, and said, "Miss Irene's cooking is very stylish, so you can taste it naturally."

Ron didn't care much about her sudden change, but Teresa listened carefully to some interesting things that happened in the mansion.

When it came to the fact that the head chef was hit hard by Irene and wanted to resign and go home, or Egbert personally persuaded him to return to the head chef, Teresa couldn't help laughing, and the next second She shyly covered her mouth with her hand.

Seeing that the effect was achieved, Ron stopped teasing the other party and ended the dinner peacefully.

The Marquis knew that his daughter still had a lot to talk to Ron, so he left first to rest.

"It's changed a lot here."

Teresa expressed emotion, and there seemed to be a trace of sadness hidden in these words. Ron glanced at her and said with a smile: "Master Colin built the inner lake, I will take you to see it."

"Is that Master Colin who was the first to resign to the Alfred family?" Teresa squinted.

This made Ron a little embarrassed, and he later learned that those experts from the Alfred family had all resigned from their employers and joined him.

"I was joking, who told you to tease me at the dinner party!" Seeing that Ron was silent, Teresa hurriedly explained again.

As soon as the words were out of her mouth, Teresa realized that her tone seemed wrong. This time, the two of them were in an awkward situation.

It was Ron who broke the silent atmosphere, and he said, "Come on, I'll take you to have a look. After finishing, you can go to Irene and the others. They are very excited to hear that you are coming."

The two of them came to the lake in the east courtyard all the way in silence. Teresa was not at all happy when she stood by the lake.

Although the lake under the moonlight was beautiful, it could not soothe her restless heart.

After a long time, Teresa said: "Baron Arnold, you can't promise Yuri"

The voice cut off here, Ron looked at her suspiciously, Teresa turned pale, shook her head and said, "No, it's nothing, please forget what I said."

She actually wanted to say that she should not agree to Miss Juliès's engagement invitation, but if she really said it, Teresa would only feel ashamed. This was not done by a nobleman, and she lost the dignity that a nobleman should have .

"Sorry, excuse me."

After speaking, Teresa hurriedly left to find Irene and the others.

Ron stood where he was, looked up at the night sky, and then looked down at the lake. Although there was a reflection in the lake, it was not real.

After all, it is untouchable.

The House of the Marquess of Noches.

Two figures in black sat facing each other, their expressions were plain, and it was not difficult to see that they were a father and daughter.

The Marquis of Noches said lightly: "You cannot be the mistress of the Arnold family."

On the opposite side, Yuri Aisi's expression did not change at all, she calmly said: "I can be a concubine."

Hearing this, the Marquis of Noches didn't feel any anger, but said flatly: "Don't say it's a concubine's room, even if you want to be a lover."

Hearing this, Juliès's expression finally changed slightly, she pursed her lips and asked, "Why?"

"Because he is from the Arnold family, and you are from the Noches family."

Julius was even more puzzled by the answer of the Marquis of Noches. Could there be a family feud between the two families that she didn't know about?
　Heck, why is that?Tut tut.
