Yellow hair can also have a husband-chasing crematorium

Helena was awakened, and she stroked her hair: "It's nothing, what documents does Langdon want?"

Under Helena's command, the old butler dug out the documents Langdon needed for his roll call.

During this period, Helena had asked the maid to dress her up again, and she didn't see the previous embarrassment at all, she was still glamorous, graceful and elegant.

The two headed towards Langdon's study.

At the door, Helena signaled the maid to push them away for her with her eyes, but she saw the maid report in embarrassment.

"The master has guests."

Helena frowned in surprise: "Who is it?"

"Mr. Roland Toth."

The name Helena reminds me, she is one of Langdon's cronies, the son of a businessman, who acts dissolutely, and it is said that he often takes Langdon to not-so-good places.

In the past, Helena had called Langdon out long ago, telling him not to associate with this kind of person again, but now, Helena hesitated to speak, and kept persuading herself in her heart.

She didn't come to quarrel with Langdon. Now the main purpose is to appease Langdon's emotions. Langdon can't reject her anymore. Otherwise, if Langdon is allowed to be self-willed, no one dares to care about his words. Only Stuart will suffer. family.

Having made a mental presupposition, Helena knocked on the door and walked into the study.

Sure enough, there was a young man with short hair inside. When he saw her, he stood up and greeted her.

Helena also made a return gift, and then asked the old housekeeper to put the stack of documents on Langdon's desk: "What happened just now, I was wrong, and it would be great if you were willing to make progress... This is what I sorted out. If there is anything you don’t understand, you can ask me.”

After all, there were outsiders around, so it was hard for Helena to speak too bluntly, but Langdon still got what she meant.

Langdon was actually a little helpless, because he felt that Helena's apology was not much different from Flora's. They both apologized, so what to do...

It can be seen that Helena showed weakness to the steps, and Langdon didn't refute that he didn't need your help, and replied naturally: "Okay."

Helena showed a reassuring smile, and whispered softly: "Then I won't bother you to talk about business with your friends."

Roland touched his nose in embarrassment, and as soon as Helena left and made sure she couldn't hear, he immediately complained: "Your sister still hates me so much!"

Although it seems that etiquette is in place in action, but that feeling cannot be concealed.

Langdon flipped through the documents that had just been delivered, and talked very casually with his trusted friends: "Who told you to go to that kind of place, and I was misunderstood."

"What kind of place, it's just on the street, and they said nothing! I even dragged my fiancee to your sister to testify for us for you! How can I take my fiancee to that kind of shop? What's wrong? But she just didn't believe it, so I didn't recruit."

Roland sighed and said, "I'm really sorry for hurting your reputation, but I really don't understand, since she has no proof, why are we sophistrying? Do you think I'm a businessman and have no credibility?"

Langdon also sighed: "It's okay, she's just like that. I have a lot of faults on me, and you are not far behind."

Roland sympathized with Langdon, and asked curiously, "Speaking of which, I heard that you were beaten? What's going on?"

Langdon repeated his explanation to Helena.

Unlike Helena, Roland didn't have the slightest doubt, and believed it directly: "I just guessed that it was a hero who saved the beauty again. It's such a beautiful thing, and the rumors are so ugly... Where is the rescued person?"

"I don't know, it hasn't appeared before, anyway, as long as people have nothing to do."

Roland shook his head: "I won't come here to help you as a witness... But your sister is like that, she really appeared to testify, maybe she thinks you bought it. At least this time she didn't jump out to blackmail you, it's okay Not bad."

Langdon smiled wryly.

Roland couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I found out that if you don't say anything else after you become the Duke, you can at least save a lot of money from being extorted - your sister is simply being taken advantage of, and people believe what they say, and pay compensation if they want compensation." , the money-spreading boy, her!"

As the son of a merchant, Roland immediately sensed the business opportunity when he heard about it for the first time:

As long as you find a prettier girl, find a way to get involved with Langdon, and then come to her door and say that she was molested by Langdon. Isn't this kind of operation by Helena a guaranteed profit?

And as long as there is one successful case, there will be imitators. If there are too many, it will directly affect Langdon's reputation.

...But the clever Helena didn't seem to realize it.

This is obviously a very simple truth, why can't Helena react?

Roland had an intuition that there was something wrong with it, but he couldn't say anything without evidence, but since then he had a subtle feeling for Helena.

Langdon guessed Kane's secret operation, and explained for Helena: "Someone has perjured her, and she just believed someone who shouldn't be... let's not talk about that, let's talk about the business first."

Roland didn't intend to argue with Langdon on this, so he changed the subject politely: "Come on, you have the most tricks, and I'm curious too."

Langdon pulled a document from a drawer and handed it to him.

"Look at this first."

Roland took it, and at first he read ten lines at a glance, but soon his reading speed slowed down, and he became fully concentrated.

"It's what I mentioned to you before... Can it still be like this? It seems that it is indeed possible... If it can be done, it will be brought back to life! Even if the effect is only half, it is enough..."

He was amazed and suspicious at the same time, looked back and forth two or three times, finally calmed down from his excitement, and suddenly looked up at Langdon.

"How did you think of it? Can I use this method?"

"Of course." Langdon replied slowly, "But I have a better suggestion—let's cooperate. I have something that needs to be tested."

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone!

I have hinted before that there is an inside story about the male lead’s style review, this chapter reveals a little bit

Thank you for the reward and the monthly pass, I will add more in the evening

14. Your sister is terrible

The document Langdon gave to Roland was a plan that Roland called genius propaganda and Langdon called marketing.

As a businessman, Roland understood the value of this document very well. If Langdon didn't mention it, he would beg Langdon to let him use the methods in it.

According to Roland's judgment, these few pages of text can allow Roland to revitalize a store that is about to go bankrupt, help Roland stand out from the competition of several brothers, and win the favor of his father.

So when Langdon mentioned cooperation, Roland agreed on the spot: "Of course I wish for it, the store sponsored by the Duke is also a publicity point..."

Langdon coughed: "This cannot be publicized, it must be kept secret."

He was, after all, an aristocrat.

Aristocrats always like to flaunt their family background. I can be superior to others without doing production. Is it enough to rely on taxes to make money?How can I get off in person?What a drop!

As for their investment, most of them are artists who invest, talented young people who can become retainers in the future, and so on.

Investment businessman?

Shouldn't merchants send money to nobles in order to obtain protection and proof of credibility?

What?You even want the noble master to help you find a way to make money?

bold!Get rid of the trash and don't post it upside down, okay?You can't send me money, some other merchants give me money!

After all, Langdon lived in a socialist country in his previous life. Although he did not agree with the ideas of these nobles, he did not intend to act independently as soon as he inherited the title. He decided to act secretly and observe the effect before talking about anything else.

Roland also understood Langdon's concerns: "That's right, anyway, this plan should be enough... But you are so busy now, and you still want to help me with ideas, I'm really sorry."

Langdon coughed dryly: "It's not just for you...I'm thinking about financial matters."

In peaceful times, as a duke with a fief, Langdon's workload was not very heavy.

Most of the affairs are handled by the corresponding person. Generally speaking, after the person in charge is appointed, it is enough for a duke to be mainly responsible for socializing, entertaining and holding banquets.

If he was an otaku like the old duke and didn't like to socialize, then the mistress of the house might be busier than the man.

However, even aristocrats cannot just have power without obligations.

For example, you have to train your own knights, regularly clean up robbers, and monitor the borders to see if there are merchants who want to smuggle without paying taxes.

In the era when there was no detailed law, the lord had to serve as a part-time judge on his own territory to make a fair ruling... Sometimes even two people vying for a pig required the lord to make a decision.

Don't look at it as just a pig, use your own will to determine the fate of others, every word can arouse the emotions of others, it is a very way to demonstrate power, so many lords are very keen on it.

Langdon's father was not interested, and Langdon even suspected that his father might be annoyed by disliking these crap things, so he threw them all to Helena's agency.

Langdon has been checking Helena's historical verdicts for the past two days, and feels that Helena's verdict is fairly fair, and plans to leave this to Helena to deal with in the future.

After all, Helena is so easy to use, so there is no need to use it for nothing. Langdon will not affect his judgment because of his personal emotions. It also happens to prevent Helena from suddenly losing most of her power and going to extremes.

He only needs to be involved in some major events, such as mediating the grievances between two nobles, or being a witness to their duel. Helena will take care of other small matters, so it's not a big problem.

The most urgent problem that Langdon needs to solve at present is related to finances, which is also the part that Helena thinks he will definitely have problems.

The main finance of the Principality of Stuart, besides taxation, comes from gemstone mines.

However, after years of mining, the benefits brought by gemstone mines have been decreasing year by year since a hundred years ago.

Except for Langdon's father, the previous generations of dukes were all very good at spending money. Holding banquets was a trivial matter, but building castles, hunting grounds and even spectacle was the big deal.

The wonder is wrong!

Not to mention the cost of construction, the cost of maintaining these facilities every year alone is not a small number. Langdon was choked up when he saw it, and even wanted to dig out the funeral objects of these people to fill the hole...

By the way, funeral objects are also a lot of money.

But these aristocratic gentlemen don't think there is any problem. Even if they really have no money, the big deal is to use export rights and other things as collateral for loans.

It is also a unique habit of the nobles to maintain the face of the nobles when borrowing money. Anyway, even if they don't pay back, those lenders will not dare to do anything to them unless they bribe the master to make decisions for them.

In short, in the past ten years, because the gemstone mine has almost no income, in order to ensure that the Duchy of Stuart's financial figures look better on paper, Helena chose to continue the operations of the previous dukes - to increase taxes for the following, and Sell ​​titles of honorary nobility.

Langdon looked at Helena's new tax and found that Helena's tax on merchants was particularly heavy.

The reason Helena gave was also very simple: "Because they have money, everyone used to do this."

If you can't pay taxes if you don't have money, then of course you are looking for rich people.

In the eyes of the nobles, merchants are like walking purses.

The reasoning is correct, but from the perspective of Langdon in the 21st century, this operation actually has serious consequences.

At that time, Langdon felt that if he wanted to improve the financial problems of the Stuart family, he might have to start with business.

However, the Stuart family is too large, and Langdon is not easy to make fun of such a large family, so he chooses Roland, who has business experience, to cooperate with him to try out the effect of his ideas in this world.

The two hit it off immediately, with extraordinary mobility, and immediately began to make various preparations.

In order to save time, Langdon just felt that the work of the "neighborhood committee" was not worth his energy, so he threw the "judgment right" back to Helena.

I don't know how much Langdon dislikes this job, but Helena likes the job of demonstrating her own power very much. She thinks that Langdon must be worried that he won't be able to make a fair judgment, so he has to ask her.

"Let me just say, Langdon can't do without me."

Helena looked at the piles of documents brought in, and her anxiety was relieved.

Look, she is judging the case on behalf of the lord, can other noble daughters do it?

She brought more benefits to the Stuart family than others.

She is irreplaceable.

After being happy for a while, Helena asked the maid, "Where's Langdon?"

The maid leaned back and said, "The Duke is out."

Helena's eyes gradually cooled down: "He went out with that Roland Toth again?"

"Yes."

Helena frowned slightly: "Just became a Duke, can't Langdon be more peaceful?"

Needless to ask, Langdon definitely couldn't have fun during the funeral, so now he finally couldn't help but hang out with his cronies.

Alas, it's really worrying, the Stuart family will definitely be ruined by Langdon.

Fortunately, there is her now.

His mother was gone, and his father was gone, and she was the only one who could control Langdon.

Langdon could do without her.

Helena recited these words silently in her heart, feeling a strange sense of satisfaction.

Langdon can't be allowed to continue wandering outside, since he refuses to listen to her now, let's change the way.

Langdon thought that if he worked for Helena, Helena would be able to calm down for a while, but he and Roland hadn't finished their meal that day when they saw his servant coming to him to send a message.

"Duke, Miss Helena wants you to go home now."

Langdon was not very happy when he was interrupted during the conversation, "I'm very busy now, you tell her if you have anything to do, we'll talk about it when we go back tonight."

The attendant hesitated and said, "Miss Helena said that if you don't go back, she will directly cancel your leave."
