Alien landlady

Chapter 265 Make Up Your Mind
"Your Majesty, according to my secret investigation in the past few days, Prince Booker and his family can rest assured."

"Booker? Really?" His Majesty Askem IV regained his energy immediately.

"Swapping the order of succession between the crown prince and his younger brother, is it acceptable to His Majesty?"

"In any case, the two of them are blood brothers, and it is much better than having my brother's son be the future king."

"Then His Majesty also accepts this cruel punishment?"

"Has the President accepted it?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, they are already making preparations. Removing the crown prince will cause them a lot of losses. Please forgive them for doing so early. And, as you must know, without the support of Miss White Baroness, the crown prince will not sit on the throne even if he inherits the throne in the future." Unstable, the Crown Princess's leaking behavior has always been a thorn in the side, pricking people from time to time. As long as she is the Crown Prince's wife, she may keep leaking, and we have no choice but to resolve the crisis once and for all. "

"According to the law, leaking state secrets will lead to the guillotine. The behavior of the crown princess is not too much to let her go to the gallows. Now it's just a reversal of the order of succession. She is still a member of the noble royal family. From this point of view, Farrell, that's actually a mild opinion, not cruel at all, really."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding."

"You two, one has a top-level wind-type monster, and the other has a top-level earth-type monster. In the ancient traditional concept, one represents the sky and the other represents the earth. The colorful world is sandwiched in between. The shadowless cat has not appeared before , the Crown Prince has enough support from you, now that Shadowless Cat has appeared and has a partner, you can no longer make decisions alone, you are right, without her support, the future king will not be able to sit firmly on the throne, even if he He is the emperor of the empire, and he will be taken down as well."

"Removing the crown prince is a coup. Your Majesty, we need to discuss it with the ministers."

"Discuss with the ministers, what should we do if the news leaks out? Don't underestimate the power of the crown prince's family."

"Your Majesty has already made a decision?"

"The public statement will be held tomorrow. Before that, I will read out the results of the handling of the crown prince's family, canonize Prince Booker as the new crown prince, and then you will explain to everyone the strategic steps to establish the empire. You should be prepared for this, right? "

"Yes, Your Majesty, Miss White Baroness has thought of everything. The name of the strategy is the White Sugar Plan, or the Sweet Strategy. In the name of sugar crops, I will work hard so that no white sugar will be imported in the future and everyone in the country can afford affordable sugar." .”

"Her suggestion has reached such a depth?" His Majesty Askem IV took another deep breath, grabbed a teacup and took a few swigs.

"The most valuable thing about Miss White is her mind. It's a pity that there is a short-sighted guy who ignores her health and prescribes drugs to her only for the benefits he can see. But this is also good. You don't have to worry about friendship anymore. They feel sorry for us again in this matter, and they can put it to good use in the future."

"What did she say?"

"It's just a matter of strategy, Your Majesty. The detailed tactical plan needs to be discussed many times. It will take a lot of time to convince every minister, official and nobleman." Farrell took out a stack of papers from the ring and handed it up. , "Your Majesty, I compiled this based on the notes I copied at the time, followed by a plan I personally wrote. Miss Bai is not good at tactical details."

His Majesty Askem IV took the report and quickly read the table of contents written in front. Farrell expanded the few words that Bai Tongtong said into several major items in the past few days. There are many sub-items, and sub-items can be subdivided under the sub-items, but these contents are only his own opinions, and the ministers still need to meet and discuss.Because everyone has their own interests, these must be taken into consideration, and everyone's opinions must be reached before the plan is officially implemented, so that no one will deliberately delay because of their own interests in the future.

"She even thought of religious issues. Do we still have those two ancient minority believers in our country?"

"I haven't started looking for it yet, Your Majesty, everything must be approved by you first."

"Let's find out. The power of the church should be curbed. We all say that the richest country in the country is the Magicians Guild. The national treasury is not as rich as the magicians. In fact, the real rich is the church. We can't let them expand like this If it continues, it will simply erode the foundation of the country, especially when Rybjanik really becomes a religious country and the Pope moves to the city, our country will definitely be the first to be affected."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"I'll take time to look at this. Go and do your work first. Keep the crown prince's family under surveillance. As soon as the imperial order is issued tomorrow morning, send them back to the royal territory immediately."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"You can also draft the imperial order. Calling others may leak the secret."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Farrell bowed again, raised his head and asked a question, "Your Majesty, what about the church? Princes are traditionally the godsons of the archbishop of the capital. If the crown prince is suddenly replaced, they must have something to say. .”

"Well, they certainly will, and will protest why we didn't give them advance notice. What do you think?"

"We have sufficient evidence, and then kindly ask them to fully support Prince Booker. If they continue to talk too much, just ask them what it means to support the eldest prince who leaked state secrets?"

"I think they are just protesting that we did not notify them in advance that the crown prince will be replaced." His Majesty Askem IV didn't quite understand Farrell's meaning.

"Yes, Your Majesty, but we can interpret their protests as supporting the leaking princess and the dereliction of duty prince. The white baroness said that we must firmly stand on the moral high ground and label our opponents. Well, especially to crucify the Church on the pillars of interfering in the secular regime of the country and the politics of the country, and cut back their overstretched claws."

"So this is the meaning of finding out those two minorities, letting them draw the energy of the Ni faction and get involved in sectarian struggles."

"We support them in the name of culture. No matter how the Nepali faction has opinions, we just insist that this is historical culture and human civilization. It is necessary for minorities to exist, and the people have the freedom to choose their beliefs."

"Is this what Miss White Baroness means?"

"This is a counterattack wording extended according to her strategic thinking, Your Majesty. Everything is aimed at standing on the moral high ground. The earth usually means fairness, and as much as you pay, you will get as much as you want. As long as you use the banner of culture and fairness, In the eyes of the people, the clergy represent authority figures who possess knowledge, and they certainly don’t want to wear the hat of monopolizing knowledge, obstructing education, hindering cultural development and the inheritance of civilization.”

His Majesty Askem IV seemed to be amused, shook his shoulders, and smiled softly, "Farrell, I know the content of the speech she gave at the exchange meeting, to be honest, the content on it I don’t even understand it, I just know it’s amazing, and once her conclusion was announced, I received protests from the church.”

"Your Majesty, Miss White Baroness said that if the church comes to protest, it will be said that it is the research result of the magic world and has nothing to do with the religious world. The church did not fund her with a copper coin for research, and she paid for the high-end fabrics supplied by the royal workshop. The one who paid for the money did not take advantage of His Majesty. No one has the position to accuse her. If they want to overturn her conclusion, they have to produce real evidence. Anyway, when you look at it from a high altitude, the horizon is indeed an arc Line, let’s explain this clearly first.”

His Majesty Askem IV laughed even harder, "Strictly speaking, I am also a devout believer. The coronation ceremony of inheriting the throne must be the archbishop of the capital putting the crown on my head, but why do I feel that the White Baron Miss's research is very interesting?"

"So which one does His Majesty think is the correct knowledge? Is it the few words in the scriptures? Or the real test process?"

"It's hard to say, Farrell, and I don't know. It would be great if there was more evidence, evidence that is too strong to be refuted."

"Then please give the magicians more time, Your Majesty, I believe they will not let you down."

"Farrell, tell me, should I confer another earl title on Miss White?" His Majesty Ascombe IV said suddenly.

"Huh? Why did Your Majesty suddenly think of this?"

"She is the Countess of Wismar in Marzio, but in our country, she is still only Baron Salter, a partner of Shadowless Cat, a third-level and a half mage, and the president of the Wizards Guild. A mere baron has different status from her. It fits so well."

"But suddenly she was conferred the title of Earl, and I need a reason to convince everyone, Your Majesty."

"There is a reason. She contributed to the strategic plan to establish the Gulis Empire."

"No one will believe it, Your Majesty, no man will believe that this is her idea. Women are stupid and weak, and they cannot survive in this world without support. This is the common view of men. If you decide to entitle , this can only be a reason to tell Baroness Bai, not a reason to convince the ministers."

"What if I really want to be canonized? Fabao Town was originally the earl's territory. The last earl has passed away for so many years, and there should be a new earl."

"It's better to claim that it is symmetrical to the Countess of Wismar, so as to convince the ministers, Your Majesty."

"It's that simple?"

"That's enough, Your Majesty. She is now the richest female nobleman and landowner in the country, but her territory only has one Salter Village. If she doesn't expand her territory, the money she earns will most of the money in the future. It will be used in the territory of Wismar, and look at her construction standards for rebuilding the village. At that time, it will definitely be the same standard in Wismar. It is clear at a glance which side spends more money, and the place where more money is spent will naturally be more attentive What if she shifts her focus to Wismar in the future? What about our country?" Farrell clapped his hands, "So, Your Majesty, the ministers will definitely agree."

"Oh, Farrell, you have convinced me. I must make her the Earl of Faubourg at the right time. But you must keep it a secret, so don't tell her yet."

"I promise to keep my mouth shut, Your Majesty."

"Okay, you go back, I'll go see the queen." Adjusting his mood with a light topic, His Majesty Askem IV took a book at random, put Farrell's report under the book and put it together On the ice box, with him in his arms, Farrell withdrew the barrier and opened the door, watching the attendants follow His Majesty to the bedroom, and then he quickly disappeared into the palace.

Bai Tongtong was lazily enjoying the leisure time of recuperating in the room, when he suddenly felt the teleportation runestone in the ring jumping, took it out and saw that it was Farrell who wrote a note, asking Ah Huang to take care of the crown prince at night One family, His Majesty the King agreed, and they will take action tomorrow, and then they will be sent directly to the royal family's territory, with Prince Booker as the Crown Prince.

Holding the note and thinking for a while, Bai Tongtong wrote back and asked Farrell where he was now. After learning that he was still drafting the imperial decree in the elders' courtyard, Bai Tongtong turned over and got out of bed, ran to the kitchen to fill some dishes, put them in a basket, and called Farrell. Come to Ah Huang to deliver food and tell it the task for tonight.

Ah Huang stepped into the teleportation array with a basket in his mouth and wagging his tail.

Bai Tongtong went back to her bedroom and changed into the clothes she went out, and went to Wismar to have dinner with the patriarch. There were a lot of crops she hadn’t eaten in their luggage, some of which were seeds from the mainland over there. It was re-planted on Ford's territory, a staple food they called white wheat, in Bai Tongtong's eyes, it was completely glutinous rice, except that the grains were thinner and longer, the taste and aroma were exactly the same, and she couldn't find it these days Eat here and enjoy their homemade sausage bacon, cut into small pieces and wrapped in small glutinous rice balls, each bite is delicious.

The total population of men, women and children brought by the patriarch exceeded 500, and there were many children under the age of ten. Obviously, they were all the new generation born after landing and settling down. They are the group that adapts to the new environment the fastest. The few big manors that have come down are more than enough to accommodate them, and she doesn't have to worry about the manor being unoccupied and decaying.

Bourne also brought people to help a lot. In their eyes, this is just a group of new immigrants who followed the baroness. They are also very happy to finally have neighbors. The night in this area is no longer Only their manor was lit.

They are very industrious, they have just moved in, the women and children are responsible for cleaning the environment inside and outside the manor, the men have already taken tools to level the farmland, clean up the abandoned irrigation facilities, plant some fast-growing vegetables with short growth seasons, and let the sleeping The land came to life.

Both Bai Tongtong and Ah Huang helped them, plowing the farmland directly with magic, blowing away the debris in the canal with the wind, opening up the blocked water inlet, so that the living water in the forest can flow into the farmland, the well It was also clean, and all the leaves floating on the water were fished out. The wheels, ropes, and buckets were all rebuilt in a few days. Bai Tongtong also planned to wait for the right time to do renovations in the future, build water towers, install water pipes, and repair sewers .

The village closest to the manor is some distance away. In the past, Bourne sent people to drive a horse-drawn cart to purchase food every few days. Now the new neighbors who have arrived have brought their own livestock and poultry. Bourne and the others will naturally benefit from it. No need to go far to buy groceries.

What makes Bai Tongtong feel a sense of accomplishment is that she finally let her direct descendants learn to address her correctly. As long as they stand where they can see the sky, they are not allowed to call her Your Majesty the Queen, and the same cannot be called that. Mr. Baldrick, you only need to call her Miss Lord in front of outsiders and outsiders. She has the titles of nobles from two countries, and it is too troublesome to address her.

For Xiao Er, Bai Tongtong has contacted familiar cobblers and blacksmiths to remake leather armor and armor for him through the channels of the Magicians Guild. Armor is a delicate job, and the craftsman needs to use large and small hammers to jingle a piece of steel When it is hand-knocked and formed, it takes at least a year to see the finished product. Compared with the production of leather armor, the production of leather armor is much faster, but she still has to wait for the craftsmen to reply that the materials are ready before she can take Xiao Er to measure the body size. During this period of time, it was regarded as a long vacation for Shaw, and he basically bid farewell to the vacation after he became Calvert's knight.

After eating their favorite delicacies with the patriarch again, Bai Tongtong patted his full stomach and burped contentedly and went back to sleep.
