Ferdinand always remembered what Renard said: power comes out of the barrel of a gun.

The Cronin family holds more than eighty percent of the military power in Hailan Province, and Prince White has only two percent at most.

That is to say, as long as he defeats the Cronin family and obtains control of the army in the hands of the other party, he can completely control Hailan Province.

Without the support of the military, how Prince Ren White won the hearts of the people, he could still only be rubbed and rubbed all over.

However, if the remaining two counties can be easily recovered, it is not impossible to let Prince White be a free prince.

He has understood a lot of truths in the battle with Lei Ye, and the most important one is to learn to compromise.

He used to be sharp and stubborn, and regarded all those who opposed him as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh, and he hated to get rid of them quickly.

However, he now suddenly realizes that this approach is clearly wrong.

Look at what he's gotten for so many years?

The ministers were estranged, the feudal officials rebelled, and the army went its own way.

And what did he get by learning to compromise?

The first was with the full support of Renard, who defeated the Creighton family and put down the Kale County rebellion.

Although Kale County is now in Renard's hands, it is still at least nominally part of Arthur's Kingdom, and the stability of Gannan Province gives him the opportunity to reclaim Hailan Province.

Not only that, but Renard also helped him defend against attacks from demons, directly ensuring the stable development of Arthur's kingdom.

With the continuous implementation of infrastructure construction work in Gannan Province, the country's commercial trade and agricultural production began to recover rapidly, and the Rose Province also benefited a lot.

Secondly, it was supported by the political system headed by the Marquis of Lyton, and during his expedition to Hailan Province, there was no mistake in the administrative affairs of Rose Province.

In the past, whenever it was time to collect taxes, he would always send people to monitor the tax situation.

Even so, 60 percent of the regions are unable to pay their taxes.

The lords, nobles, and gentry demanded tax reductions under various pretexts, and even more excessively, the royal family subsidized them in the name of repairing city defenses and dredging rivers.

Looking at the present, taxes can be paid on time and in accordance with the amount, there has never been a crying of poverty, and even the material dispatch is much smoother than before.

Even when the military budget was insufficient and the army could not be sustained, the Marquis of Lytton took the lead in donating money and materials to help

Help the expeditionary force tide over the difficulties.

Militarily, when he disagreed with other generals, he would already listen to them sincerely, and often benefited a lot in the end.

When he led his troops on an expedition to Kale County, he ran into walls everywhere because of his stubbornness, so that the army suffered heavy losses.

Now he knows how to let the generals express their opinions, and then discuss and make the most correct choice.

As a direct consequence, two counties have been successfully taken in just a few months, and the losses are very small.

That's the benefit of knowing how to compromise.

He was confident that if Prince White sincerely cooperated with him, he would be able to recover the entire Hailan Province at the lowest cost.

Thinking about it this way, his hatred for Prince White is not so strong.

When Baron Plitt made this offer, he was extremely apprehensive, for he knew the temper of his cousin.

The other party is a stunned master who would rather take straight and not ask for the song.

He thought that the other party would be angry and refused, and then beat himself out of the camp tent with a stick, and it was possible to remove his legs more ruthlessly.

However, he never dreamed that the other party actually agreed, and he agreed so happily.

Baron Plitt asked in disbelief, "Did you hear my father's request?"

Ferdinand nodded very solemnly: "Naturally, I heard it clearly. ”

"Uncle White was held hostage by the Cronin family, and in order to protect himself, he was forced to make a false relationship with the other party, and all I have to do is correct his name, which is my responsibility as a nephew. ”

"Not only that, if he can work with me to destroy the Cronin family and recover Hailan Province, not only will I not blame the past, but I will still make him the governor of Hailan Province, and at the same time, I will greatly praise him. ”

Ferdinand pondered for a long time, and finally spoke: "Let's make an exception for a hereditary prince." ”

Hereditary princes?

Baron Pritt almost fainted on the spot, looking at the entire northern continent, except for the Creighton Empire, there has never been a hereditary prince.

After the death of a prince, his descendants can only receive a marquis title and a small number of fiefs, and this title is not hereditary, but decreases from generation to generation.

For example, Lao Tzu is a prince, and his heirs can only inherit the title of marquis.

Princes often hold the military and political power of a province or county and die

After that, these rights coefficients need to be handed over to the state, and their descendants can only receive a small number of fiefs.

After the death of the prince, the title continued to decrease until he became a baron, at which point the title became hereditary.

After all, everyone is all descendants of the royal family, and they must always keep some decency.

Of course, as mentioned earlier, the descendants of the prince can only obtain the title of marquis at most, that is, it is possible to not get the title of marquis, and the specific situation depends on who can survive the prince and the king.

It is known that the prince is the king's own brother.

If the prince has braided his hair before the king, the king will often look at the brotherhood and make his nephew a marquis.

If the king has braided his hair before the prince, and the crown prince inherits the throne, the prince becomes the king's uncle, and the relationship between the two is a lifetime apart.

After the death of the prince, his son may be made an earl, after all, the cousins will not be very close, and they will be saved.

If it is more unlucky, the king has a shorter lifespan or the prince has a longer lifespan, and when the prince and grandson inherit the throne, it is unknown what can be sealed.

There are so many brothers in the two kings, you always occupy the position of a prince, enjoy the treatment of a prince, who is not red-eyed, then casually ruin two sentences, and when the children and grandchildren die, they will definitely suffer, and if you can get a viscount, you are afraid that you will have to burn high incense.

This shows how attractive this hereditary prince is to Baron Plit.

He is only a baron now, and he is not the eldest son, and when Prince White dies, with King Ferdinand's urine, he can get a viscount title out of the ordinary.

If his father is made a hereditary prince, his brother can inherit the title of prince, so he can also be a count at the next time, right?

After all, everyone is only a compatriot, and the eldest brother can't be a prince and give him a viscount.

So, Baron Plitt was tempted.

He even wondered if there was a way to make the two brothers disappear and inherit the princely title himself.

Looking at the somewhat forgetful Baron Plit, Ferdinand secretly ridiculed: It's just an empty title, do you really think that Lao Tzu can give you Heilan Province as a fief?

Thinking of this, he suddenly patted his head and secretly said that he had learned badly.

Hmmm! It's all from that bastard who eats people and doesn't spit out bones!

Thousands of miles away, in the city of plenty, Renard sneezed with all his strength: "!
