The cool spring breeze blew from south to north on every inch of Crewe's land, and she awakened the vitality of the earth.

Outside the town hall of Mogg Town, more than a dozen mighty knights guarded around the gate, and the giant bear battle flag swayed back and forth in the spring breeze. Outside the courtyard of the government building, a group of children gathered around the courtyard wall and stared at them curiously.

"Hey, little ones, let's try this. The young knight couldn't hold back his serious expression, and he smirked and took the wine bag from his waist and threw it out.

The eyes of the children outside the courtyard walls were immediately drawn to the wine sacs that crossed the courtyard walls, and the Creulians had been drinking since they were very young, and almost all the children here had drunk alcohol, but they usually only had a sip during the festival.

When the flask hits the ground, the children begin to scramble as if they have discovered a rare treasure, and soon it becomes a fist and kick.

"Haha!" the surrounding townsfolk all put down their work at this time, and watched the children's 'fight' with great interest, some even the mothers or fathers of these children, but they did not stop their children.

And the knights, who had been serious-faced, also leaned against the low courtyard wall at this time, laughing and looking at the children who were fighting, and at the same time the game began quietly.

Eventually, the sac was snatched into the hands of an older child.

He skillfully uncorked the sac, but he took two sips of it and was snatched away by the boy next to him, who threw his head back into his mouth, and then the other children snatched it.

The knights laughed or yelled and gathered around to 'divide' the gambling money.

The surrounding townsfolk were also gambling, but more were cheering.

In less than two minutes, the contents of the wine bag were thrown to the ground.

At this time, the first boy to grab the wine bag stepped forward to pick it up, and walked to the courtyard wall and handed it to the young knight who had just thrown the wine bag, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Poof, hahahaha!" the knights laughed again.

"Come in, and I'll give you a whole barrel of ale. The young knight pointed to the gate of the courtyard wall.

"Cut—" The little boy pursed his lips disdainfully, threw the sac to the knight, and ran away with his friends. The urchin's disdainful eyes suddenly increased the laughter of the knights, and the young knight shrugged his shoulders.

"What can make you so happy? A woman's voice came from behind the knights.

"Very interesting thing, sir. ”

Knight Sila looked at the child who ran away and smiled regretfully, "Looks like I'm missing something." ”

"Don't you need your company, Lord Baron?" asked the knight subconsciously, "That old mage is not reliable at all. ”

"Watch out for that old mage putting you in the police jail. ”

"Before that, I'm going to have to show him if my fist is big enough. ”

The cajoling discussion of the knights made Knight Syra smile helplessly, and her eyes involuntarily looked at the town hall that had just left.

...

In the hall,

Pedi deported everyone except Sir Parma, the mayor, Debra, and Cowlier, the clerks. Lord Mayor Ser Parma took him to the town government's only soundproofed office of the mayor.

Paddy casually leaned back at his desk, stared at Sir Parmesan sitting on the old reception sofa and asked, "My trip is open to all nobles, and I have ignored the invitations of countless villages and towns along the way, except... Came to you. ”

"This is an honor for all of Morg, my lord. Ser Parmesan immediately looked humble, and he tried to stand up, but was stopped by Pedi.

The old mage Cowlir got up and picked up the steaming teapot on the small square table in the middle of the reception couch, and he said as he fiddled with the teacup, "In addition to hunting, Lord Pedi has come to you this time to find you. ”

"It's a surprise. The old knight took the teacup in both hands and accepted Cowlier's pouring of tea, and his heart began to beat uncontrollably violently under his calm expression, and in the interval between his words he went through a series of important things that had happened recently, and finally locked on one thing.

Pedi calmly glanced at the three people pouring the tea, and then casually rummaged through the documents on the mayor's desk and said, "We should pick up on the topic at the dinner table just now, shouldn't we?"

"It is my pleasure, my lordship. ”

"So, continue what you left unfinished. ”

"Well, we talked about it just now," said the old sir, who pondered for a few seconds, "and just now we talked about the nobles' views on the new policies of the lords, and the impact of the future realm. ”

"You wait first. As if it had suddenly occurred to him something to prevent Sir Parma from continuing, he looked at the clerk Debra and said, "You are in charge of the record, and I want you to keep a record of all my conversations with Sir Parma." ”

Sir Parma's hands trembled uncontrollably when he heard this, and the old clerk was stunned for a moment, then he got up to take the order, and went to the small desk in the western corner and sat down beside his original little desk, ready to prepare pen and paper.

When everything was ready, Pedy sat down in the mayor's chair and looked at the document as he motioned for the old sir to continue.

Sir Parma took a few deep breaths in quick succession to calm his complicated emotions, and as he recalled, he said: "Two months ago, when I received the order from Kawalburg, I was in the same mood as the other nobles, after all, letting the new tax line be implemented would be equivalent to the family giving 20% of the annual profits to the Kavarburg. ”

"With all due respect, my lord, there is not a single law in the Imperial Constitution that supports your new tax items, and the nobles can even openly oppose your new policy. The old sir put down his teacup and looked up at Pedy, "This is the right of the nobility, and the ancient covenant gives us such a right. ”

After listening quietly, Pedi put down the papers he was reading, put his hands on the table, and stared at Sir Parma like a master staring at a guest, and said, "But the same imperial laws have no provisions against my new policies, and the ancient covenants have also given me supreme authority and absolute power. ”

"In the eyes of the nobility, you only give one order and then you get untold riches. "There are no longer a few nobles who think this way, and I have thought so too." His Adam's apple agitated slightly, "You are now as hateful as a legendary vampire in the eyes of the nobles!"

Hearing this, Pedi frowned and thought for a few seconds before saying, "My order is very clear that the Kawalburg Council will ensure the absolute safety of all caravans on the official roads in the future. At the same time, in the negotiations with the goblins a month ago, we signed a clause with the goblins to 'jointly cooperate in the safety of sea routes'. ”

He pointed to the northeast, "In other words, in the future, whether on land or water, all the chambers of commerce will no longer have to worry about the safety of their caravans, and the profit you earn per trade is more than twenty percent higher after deducting the cost of the escorts, right?"

"But the problem is that the nobles don't believe your words, and in their eyes they are just a trick you use to trick them into handing over their property. "In the past hundred years, the nobles have been to Kaval Fort more than once to complain about the problem of banditry in their territory, but it has not been completely resolved, not to mention the pirates on the sea route, which have existed even longer than the Chamber of Commerce. ”

Pedi pointed to Cowlier, "My police station has been set up specifically for this purpose, and I will invest a lot of money to investigate all crimes and bandits in the territory, and put an end to all crimes." ”

Seeing that he was talking about himself, Cowlier immediately assured: "The police department plans to establish sub-bureaus throughout the Crewe Territory in the next six months, including the four major autonomous territory regions, and we will work to combat criminals." ”

"But is this different from the militia groups in the regions?"

"There's a real difference!" Cowlier said, "The police department will fundamentally weed out the incidents of soldiers turning into bandits, we will recruit agents from all over the country with high salaries, each officer will not serve in the same place for more than three years, and we have a very strict internal reward and punishment system." ”

"It doesn't sound like it, but the nobility has supreme power in their own realm, and the Imperial law says that private property is sacred and not to be offended!" Sir Parma's gaze fell on Cowlier, "the court doesn't work in Crewe. ”

"Sir, I'm not here to hear your objections to the new policy. Peddy's patience was running out, and he stood up, "You should know why I'm coming to you—" His gaze slowly began to grow cold, "Remember, I hate people who put on a stinky shelf, and I hate people who are empty-eyed. ”

"I'm very sorry, sir. Sir Parma also stood up and bowed, bowing his head and saying, "I am now only asking about something as a Kru nobleman... After all, my knowledge of your new strategy is limited to that letter of order. ”

"Oh, yes?" Pedi stared at Parma, "So, what else do you have a problem?"

Sir Parma looked up suddenly, "I also need to know your attitude towards the four Dominions of Krew. ”

He asked very directly!

Cowlier, who was next to him, unconsciously began to beat when he heard this, and he subconsciously lowered his head, but then couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Pedi.

Pedy was also surprised by the old knight's question, he was stunned for two seconds, then turned to look at Debra, who was recording, and said, "This sentence does not need to be recorded. ”

Debra's right hand, which was holding the pen, shook slightly.

Pedi then turned to Pamma and said, "The four Dominions are also part of the Crewe Territory, and they will hear orders from Fort Kavar... I'll let them do my bidding!"

Sir Parma's eyes had been fixed on Pedi's eyes from the beginning of the question, and when he heard Pedy's answer, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he withdrew his gaze and lowered his head and said respectfully, "I think I know the answer." ”

"Very well, then now it's my turn to ask. Pedi motioned to the old clerk to continue the record, "The new strategy has been working well in Mogg Town in the last two months, and I want to ask you, can your method be implemented throughout Crewe?"

"With your wisdom, I think I already had an idea, didn't I?"

"You're smart. "Sir Bowenright has recommended you to me, and he says that if I had to leave the new plan to one man, you would be the right choice. ”(https:)
