King: Start with tauren plowing

Chapter 68 Kate's Envy

If he dared to slash this knife today, tomorrow the O'Hara family will be able to change the patriarch, and the day after tomorrow he will be able to drown in the stinky ditch.

Pretending to be confused is a necessary skill for being an aristocrat. If you can't pretend to be confused, you can't be a noble nobleman. Kate was cultivated since she was a child, so she has naturally mastered the skill proficiently.

Thinking of this, Kate was inexplicably envious of Baron Shire. Although Winter Fortress was poor and poor, the whole fortress belonged to Shire alone.

There are neither checks and balances from the feudal knights, nor checks and balances from the family, so you can do whatever you want in Winter Fortress.

And he is a viscount. Although he has a large territory, more than [-] people, and tens of thousands of troops, he still has dozens of feudal knights and hundreds of family members. There are not many who really belong to him, Kate.

Just as Kate was feeling sentimental, the street suddenly became noisy.

"The baron will not issue such a decree, there must be some treacherous people who have deceived the baron."

"Yes, the ruler we have been using for decades suddenly stopped being used. It wasn't the idle servants who did it, who else could it be?"

"Go to the government affairs hall and let the Baron judge for us."

……

A group of people suddenly appeared on the street, some were carrying black bread sticks, some were carrying wooden sticks, and some were holding stones. They were in a mess, rushing and running like a gust of autumn wind in front of Kate and Sophia. skimming.

Kate and Sophia had nothing to do, so they followed to watch the excitement.

When Kate and Sophia arrived at the scene, the government affairs hall was already full of people in three circles, and the scene was chaotic.

"Sophia, it seems that Winter Fortress also has a lot of problems." Kate joked gloatingly. To be honest, he has been hit since he entered Winter Fortress. Now Winter Fortress finally exposed his problems.

Otherwise, would it be a good thing for a group of unscrupulous people from Winter Fortress to gather in the government affairs hall?

The development of the matter was just as Kate expected, the voices of these troublemakers became louder and louder, and some even planned to break open the gate of the government affairs hall, and the scene was about to become uncontrollable.

step, step, step
There was a sound of footsteps coming from far and near. When everyone looked back, they saw two rows of tauren running towards the government affairs hall. They held spears and lined up neatly.

After the tauren arrived at the scene, the group of thugs became quieter, and then more than a dozen disabled veterans rushed over and shouted: "Are you here to rebel? Why don't you go back quickly."

"Uncle George, how dare we rebel. The baron issued a new decree, asking us to replace the rulers that have been used for decades with other standard rulers. Isn't this embarrassing us?" A middle-aged man with a hammer in his hand The young man replied.

"After using a ruler for decades, you still managed it. When I rescued you from the tauren's ax, you were so scared that you wet your pants. Why are you pretending to be old in front of me? Hurry up, get out of here Don't block your eyes here." Old George was merciless, scolding the middle-aged man on the opposite side with his face flushed, wishing he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

After all, what could be more embarrassing than being exposed to embarrassing things in front of everyone?

"Still standing here? I think I can't take care of you because I'm disabled, so let's try and compete." Old George picked up a whip and gestured at this person.

The middle-aged man with the hammer in his hand quickly put down the hammer: "Uncle George, you saved my life, I dare not fight with you, I will leave now."

After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man squeezed away from the crowd, and the scene became quiet for a while.

At this time, the door of the government affairs hall finally opened, but Baron Shire did not come out, but a servant in a brown linen blouse came out: "Baron Shire said, whether it is a carpenter, blacksmith, or tailor, as long as you Because of this decree, those who have to modify the ruler will be rewarded with a sheep, and next time they are recruited, priority will be given to your relatives and neighbors to join the army."

After the servant finished speaking, Old George added: "Did you hear that? The baron didn't ignore you, so hurry up to get the sheep."

"Your Baron is wise." Some people followed just to see the excitement, but when they heard the Baron rewarding the sheep, they quickly spoke up and praised it loudly.

"Haha, my uncle is a carpenter. I will definitely be selected for the next conscription. Uncle Duke, hurry home." A young man in his teens shouted.

After a while, there were only a dozen or so people left in the noisy crowd, and most of these ten or so people were blacksmiths, carpenters, and businessmen.They are all people whose interests have been seriously damaged in this reform, but those who were coaxed to come have already left, so they have no choice but to leave.

"Kate, you see, Winter Fortress will definitely develop. If the Noxus family can resist the orc invasion, Winter Fortress will definitely become the most prosperous place for business in northern Xinjiang, no, even the whole of Sissino The most prosperous commercial place in the sub-kingdom." Sophia held Kate's right arm with both hands, and vowed to speak.

"Oh, why are you so confident."

"Because Winter Fortress has unified the measuring tools, because all the laws and regulations of Winter Fortress are public, and because there are a group of veterans who maintain the laws and regulations at Winter Fortress, the business environment here is very good. All of these are It is increasing the commercial potential of Winter Fortress."

"But with a unified grain bucket, merchants can't take advantage of the common people by exchanging large buckets for small ones. If the decree is made public, the merchants can't use fabricated decrees to deceive the common people. The merchants earn less money. Who would want to come in the future."

"No, Kate, what you are talking about are big businessmen who rely on nobles, and small businessmen like us, even if we use this despicable method to defraud more gold coins from the common people, but in the end they will be used by big businessmen in the same way. Snatch, and even more Kinnear.

This kind of open and fair approach is something we small businessmen only dream of. "Thinking of the previous experience, Sophia sighed.

"Since Winter Fortress is about to develop, our O'Hara family can just establish friendship and strengthen cooperation with the Noxus family."

Through this incident, Kate has a new understanding of Baron Charles. Before, he thought that this man was just greedy and cruel, but now he found that he was wrong, this man was also despicable and shameless.

In this incident, it was originally the conflict between the scumbag and Baron Shire. As a result, he not only used the tauren to attract hatred, but also used disabled veterans to divert the conflict. Finally, when the matter was almost settled, he jumped out to pretend Good man, the devil is really in the world.

This kind of despicable and shameless person, once the Winter Fortress has the possibility of being unable to hold it, Kate dares to assert that this person will really escape the Winter Fortress and let the orcs invade the south, but this is not good for the Kingdom of Sisinoa, for them For the nobles of northern Xinjiang, it was even more devastating.

But the crux of the matter is that Winter Fortress is one of the main battlefields where the orcs invaded south. No one wants to replace the Noxus family. Since they can't change people, they can only cooperate.
