Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 317 Help them look decent

The merchants' protests were quickly brought before Purficott.

Looking at the letter of protest that was sent to him, Purficott even had the urge to laugh in anger.

"Do these guys really think that the North cannot live without them? Or do they think they have the ability to influence the decision-making of the entire empire?" Purficott casually threw the protest letter aside, and then called William from the White Bear Knights. ·Captain Richard.

"Your Majesty, are you looking for me?" Captain William saluted Perficott, and then asked Perficott about the purpose of summoning him.

"Because I hanged a businessman who was disrespectful to me before, businessmen from the New World who came to invest in the north have united to try to put pressure on me." Purficott told Captain William what happened, and then used a Looking at him with scrutinizing eyes: "I leave this matter to you to deal with. I need a satisfactory result."

Upon hearing Purficott's order, Captain William was surprised at first, and then felt flattered and delighted.

As the leader of the White Bear Knights, Captain William hopes that he can make great achievements. After all, he was "assigned" to a place like the North. He originally thought that he would retire and wait to die.

But he didn't expect a turn of events. Not only did he not wait for death, he also surpassed his peers in the empire and became a steam knight.

Not only that, even the White Bear Knights became an all-steam knights group because of Purficott, which was one of the few in the entire empire. This suddenly made his reputation as the leader of the knights soar to a very high level.

However, in the Northern Conquest, only two flag troops were dispatched to eliminate all the resisting enemies. In the Seventeenth Day War, Purficott directly used thermobaric bombs to level everything. The Northern Territory did not need him as the leader of the knights in person. For dispatching matters, at most, only one flag team of steam knights is needed to solve all the troubles.

And now, the opportunity he was looking forward to finally came, and Perficott finally gave him a task that could prove his ability.

This made Captain William very depressed, and he felt a sense of frustration that he had nowhere to show his talents.

Captain William, who felt that he could finally put his talents to use, swept away his previous frustration and depression and became excited.

However, his loyalty and faith as a knight and his self-discipline as a soldier still allow him to always perform his duties seriously and do everything well instead of complaining to others about his underappreciated talents.

Under such circumstances, Captain William was naturally eager to fulfill his obligations as a knight for the lord to whom he was loyal and bring her victory and glory.

Even for dragon slaying, a feat that could last a lifetime, he still couldn't find a coat of arms that could be painted on his shield.

As a result, Captain William's loyalty to Purfict naturally increased and he became a die-hard loyalist of Purfict. He swore allegiance to Purfict just like the relationship between knights and lords in the past.

But even so, Captain William still carefully asked Perficott: "Your Majesty, how far do I need to go?"

"To what extent? Just ask them to stop raising objections." After thinking about it, Perficott gave a very indifferent answer: "There are no businessmen in the New World and businessmen in the empire. Even if they don't In terms of investment, I can still obtain enough investment from the empire center and noble groups to support the construction of the entire northern border.

Even if I take a step back, it won't be a problem for me to spend my own money to build industries in the north. So for the North, those merchants are not necessary, do you understand?
Those businessmen don't matter to me, their money doesn't matter to me, but the lack of protests against them does. "

Hearing Purficott say this, Captain William suddenly understood. He nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, I will bring two steam knights from the flag team to handle this matter."

Two flag squadrons of steam knights are enough to bulldoze the industrial center that is still under construction.

There is no doubt that the implication is that they will not hesitate to use force to completely quell this incident.

Captain William's remarks were a test and a manifestation of Purficott. He was eager to make achievements, so he naturally needed to attract Purficott's attention.

This matter is actually very easy to solve in nature, but he must do it beautifully and in line with Purfico's wishes in order to leave a sufficient impression on Purfico so that he can be accepted by Purfico. He should be reused more, instead of just being a knight leader with no sense of existence.

That's why he escalated matters that could only be handled by an eloquent civilian official to the point of directly dispatching steam knights.

For Purficott, this is actually an insignificant matter. If she handles it by herself, she might do the same thing.

So she nodded with satisfaction and told Captain William again: "If they want to be decent, let them be decent; if they don't want to be decent, you can help them be decent."

"I understand." Captain William knew that he was safe.

However, just as he turned around to leave Purficott's laboratory, Purficott warned again: "Don't worry about those workers, they have to continue working for the North."

"Yes!" Captain William knew clearly who he should target this time.

--------------

What happened in the north was quickly reported back to the empire, and Langton's empire center soon learned about it.

This matter was also discussed at the imperial meeting chaired by Princess Anne to discuss the attitude of the empire center in handling this matter.

Although from any point of view, Purficott could handle this matter on his own, Princess Anne still felt a little uneasy about this matter.

However, she brought this matter up to the imperial meeting for discussion, but did not let anyone else have any opinions. Among all the participants, the military first clearly expressed its support for Perfectcott, and even stated that it could start from The Navy dispatched a battleship to the north to support Perfectcott.

"For the purpose of force deterrence, Earl Brandlis has a steam knights, a guard division and several airships in her hands. If she is willing to use them, she can easily eliminate the merchants who oppose her." The Duke of Gloucester said Rejecting the military's proposal, he pointedly pointed out the crux of the problem: "What Earl Brandlis needs now is more legal and economic support. We should pass a law prohibiting child labor in the empire. Earl Brandlis provides legal basis, and at the same time, it is time to speed up the transfer of the empire’s local industrial industries to the north.”
