Pirate Kingship

Of course, although his aunt was one of the financial backers of his rebellion, Byron's innermost thoughts and a series of plans would certainly not be revealed casually.

Now he only needs to convince Magnilla, bind her firmly to his chariot, and charge into battle for the common benefit of everyone.

Looking at her aunt's light blue eyes, she looked like the red archbishop, with a face filled with compassion and compassion:

“I want to come to these people not for myself, but for all mankind!

As we all know, the sea of ​​human collective subconscious is not connected between the Silver Continent and the Bantaan Islands, or even the New Continent south of the celestial circulation zone.

It's like there are many sailing ships floating on the same sea of ​​essence, each doing its own thing.

As a member of the Lighthouse Federation, I know that the current situation may seem peaceful, but the human cost is huge.

It has been discovered that the world is getting bigger and bigger, but human power has never been able to unite.

I believe that when developing overseas, the material world must be opened up, and the spiritual world must also be opened up, and the "mental boundaries" and "spiritual dams" of human beings must be continuously expanded.

Otherwise, if we only care about requesting resources but not maintaining the foundation of the extraordinary world, the burden on mankind, especially the extraordinary people in the lighthouse sequence, will only become heavier and heavier. "

Although it is to convince his aunt, this is also Byron's true thoughts after he has been exploring the truth of the world and various secrets since he embarked on the extraordinary path.

Seeing that Meganila was suddenly calmed down by this heavy proposition, he continued:

“The Castilians, who only know how to plunder, are a typical negative example.

They want to use massacre, enslavement, and plunder to completely turn the Taino population into consumables and fuel to satisfy the domestic high-level pursuit of material comfort.

But they completely ignore who is going to defend the restricted areas, secret areas, and weird places that are everywhere overseas.

We also forget that the larger the tonnage of the ship, the more stable it will be.

The church has noticed this. To "walk with the sword and the cross" is to use faith to complete assimilation on the basis of conquest.

Gradually gather the willpower of the indigenous people, merge the collective subconscious sea between the two, and strengthen the spiritual dam.

Otherwise, relying solely on the "Silver Law" that is guided from the lighthouse to the colony is just water without a source and a tree without roots, and it cannot last for a long time.

Faith is a route, and racial assimilation is also a route.

A two-pronged approach can turn the big ship of the human collective subconscious into a catamaran or even a trimaran in the shortest possible time, making it more and more capable of resisting wind and waves.

Let all mankind ride the wind and waves on the sea of ​​essence and move steadily and far.

This is what every conscientious person should do. "

This moment.

Byron's face seemed to have a holy light shining, like a saint possessed by the Holy Spirit.

"great!"

"Noble!"

"Foresight!"

When Magnilla, Jacqueline, and Violet saw Byron like this, their beautiful eyes were filled with brilliance.

According to legend, those saints who were named holy, who were closest to the Creator, and qualified to join the Council of Gods, all achieved great deeds because they were guided by the Holy Spirit possessed in their bodies.

In particular, the "Gospel of Creation" says that the Holy Spirit has always been in the world guiding mortals to pursue the truth. In theory, everyone may be possessed by the Holy Spirit.

As long as they are not afraid of being beaten to death by the judge, anyone can claim that they are the [Holy Spirit] who has descended into the world!

Just like the famous "Young Son of God", he can call "Dad" at any time to appear as a saint, and was even issued a certificate of identity as the "Second Son" by the Pope himself.

At this moment, they had some doubts about whether Byron had really suddenly received divine enlightenment.

With this thought and height, even if he is not the Holy Spirit, he must be at least a saint, right?

But Mr. "Saint Byron" suddenly broke through in the next second, stretched out his thumb and index finger and rubbed them in front of them.

"Of course, in the process of realizing this great cause, we ourselves can also reap hundreds of millions of benefits."

When the three of them saw him showing his true colors, they unanimously pouted in their hearts:

"Sure enough, this is the Byron I am familiar with.

Being possessed by the Holy Spirit cannot turn you into a saint.

When you come, you, the big pirate, will pluck out all your feathers and take away the halo. When you turn around, you will see a ‘confidant’ of the Creator wearing a saint’s vest. "

Only Violet, who had a thorough understanding of most of Byron's plans, suddenly thought of the nun Theresa who had planned to invite him to preach in her territory, and was shocked.

‘[Kingmaker] Warwick used his title to usurp the authority of the king, and Byron would not have any intention of imitating him.

hiss--! No, no, even if Byron was prepared to take revenge on the church, he would not be so bold.

Well, I shouldn’t be so bold for the time being. ’

On the other side, Meganila sat down again, crossed one of her long legs in an unethical manner, and said angrily:

“The benefits to you are quite big.

When others were thinking about how to scrape the land, you quietly founded the country with a high-sounding righteousness, and used the manpower and material resources of the two countries to combine into an excellent logistics base far away from the rights and wrongs of the mainland.

But what good are our iris flowers? "

Byron immediately put away his thumb, leaving only one index finger to wave in front of his aunt, correcting her mistake with a smile:

"Auntie, this is your fault.

You are now the governor. Have you forgotten what the duties of the governor of our Bantaan Islands do? "

After hearing this, Meganila, who had been troubled by the dispute over "protection rights" when she first took office and had not yet adapted to her new identity, suddenly realized:

"You mean"

Byron nodded vigorously and said the word she was embarrassed to say:

"Making money!"

Not to mention the few people here, even children know that colonial governors have huge power, and they are usually the most trusted and loyal nobles or close ministers of the royal family.

Representing the king himself in the colony, his status is extremely prominent.

The main responsibility is to protect the colony, prevent indigenous resistance and foreign invasion, as well as maintain royal expenses and increase fiscal revenue.

Specifically: "appointing administrative officials and church leaders within his jurisdiction; commanding the army; implementing the royal family's policies towards the colonies;

Publish laws, orders and announcements; manage cities, finances and public welfare undertakings;

'Protect' and 'educate' Aboriginal people; and participate in justice, etc. "

It can be said that the governor combines the actual power of ruling the colony, and his will is the law of the colony!

And absolute power also brings absolute corruption.

The governor was nothing more than the overseas deputy king of the emperor, who could do whatever he wanted to the colony.

As far as they knew, the governors of various countries regarded their stay in the colonies as a period of happiness that would never happen again in their lives.

If they don't invest enough property to spend the rest of their lives in these years, they will become everyone's laughing stock.

Meganila's heart was already beating at the thought of this, but she still hesitated and said:

"Isn't this not good? The kingdom has inspectors and a series of prohibitions

In order to put a layer of shackles on the governor's power, the royal family placed many spies and even supervisory envoys around the governor to spy on the governor's actions at any time.

It also stipulates that the governor's term shall not exceed 5 years; married children cannot be brought to office;

Relatives and private persons are not allowed to be appointed; banquets with locals are not allowed; and personal property is not allowed to be purchased in the colony."

But she couldn't continue talking.

Before she took over as governor, she was a special supervisory envoy sent by the king. Doesn't she still know what "rules are dead but people are alive"?

In order to consider their own interests, the supervisors sent by the royal family often colluded with the governor, or were bribed and controlled by the governor, forming a situation where officials protected each other.

In addition, the [Silver Law] is a sourceless water overseas, and it is difficult to ensure that the regulations are actually implemented.

The royal family is beyond the reach of the governor, and the so-called supervision, containment and inspection measures are often just a formality.

Otherwise, why has the position of colonial governor been the most enthusiastic target of the nobles of various countries?

There is a popular saying among them: "I obey, but I don't execute."

Seeing that the heat was coming, Byron sat down next to Magnilla. On her other side was Jacqueline holding her arm.

I have to say that the blood relationship is wonderful. When Byron and their mother and daughter sit together, they really feel a bit like a family, without any sense of disobedience.

The words that came out of her mouth also dispelled her last worries:

"Auntie, as we are governor, the most important thing is to be happy (make money).

After finally sitting on the throne of governor, how can I do it without trying to make enough money? Those losers who missed out on the governorship are crying!

This is what everyone does, Auntie, you don’t want to be an outlier, right?

If you don't fish it, and I won't fish it, how can the officials of the kingdom from top to bottom of the two countries fish it? If they don't get it, how can we make progress?

I won’t make it difficult for you, just follow the normal transaction process.

You just saw part of the military and industrial strength of the Torrent Fortress. Wouldn't it be okay for me to trade arms and spices with you for the population? You will never suffer a loss.

Besides, you are a little daughter. If you pick up a few more wool from the old man, he will turn a blind eye at most.

When your brother takes over in the future, he won't be able to do it even if he wants to. "

The illegitimate daughter Magnilla has married Count Toridor and followed her husband after marriage. Now she and her daughter both have the surname Toridor.

When the old father was still alive, everything was easy to say, and being greedy for money was nothing. But if the elder brother came to power, it would be two families.

Moreover, this matter is worthy of all mankind and worthy of oneself, so why not do it?

Meganila finally let go of the burden in her heart, but she couldn't help but give the nephew beside her a blank look:

“At that time, as long as the population death rate is overstated by 10%, the data will come out, and you can find some excuse to settle the account.

Or simply blame it on coral disease, and no one can find a loophole.

But you have obviously only been the governor for a few days, right? Why do you look like a veteran now? Can a governor be self-taught without a teacher? "

Byron smiled and said nothing.

This is probably genius.

A genius who is a corrupt official, a salary thief, etc. is so weak.

He raised his hand and took out a wine bottle from the snakeskin bag, and replaced the black tea on the table with high-quality rum known as "Pirate's Blood". He and his aunt each took a glass.

bite!

Magnilla drank the rum in one gulp, two beautiful red clouds rose up on her jade-like cheeks, and said fiercely:

"I've done this deal!"

Byron also drained his glass:

"Then, happy working together."

After a round of sweet talk, he finally brought his aunt's family on board and formed a solid alliance of interests, which further solidified Byron's base.

This is much more solid than the so-called kinship relationship.

Born in the royal family of the mainland, even brothers can fight for power, let alone just relatives?

However, just as flowers and plants grow towards the sun, people's hearts will always move towards interests.

And they will give full play to their subjective initiative of 200%!

As long as the interests are sufficient, the covenant will always be stable.

Meganila seemed to suddenly remember something:

"By the way, I know that there seems to be a legion flag of the [Silver Wing Knights] in my father's private vault.

I promise to get it for you within three days.

Use it together with the javelin to hold the heroic spirit summoning ceremony, maybe it can also give more than one extraordinary ability to the same type of heroic soldiers."

Byron was overjoyed when he heard this, isn't this subjective initiative coming?

He immediately patted his chest and said in return:

"Good things are naturally more, the better, I will never let you suffer a loss.

I am willing to exchange it with you for a third-level [Shadow Spell] that can achieve superhuman results."

As soon as he said this, he suddenly felt that the combination of [Shadow Spell], [Golden Deer], [Wild Boar Warrior], and [Butterfly Fish] added together gave him an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.
