After a series of explanations from Duke and Anvil, Joseph and Vlavich finally fully understood the process and purpose of Duke's entire resettlement plan.

Originally, they thought Duke's idea was a bit whimsical, but now that they had experienced a new type of conservatory built by the dwarves, it didn't cost much.

And if you want to connect the Connaughton area and the northern fortress between the two places, the labor cost of hiring is not cheap. But if the displaced people are used directly, according to Duke, it is equivalent to exchanging the resources that were originally going to be given to them for labor, and even after the beginning of spring, this valuable cement road can be basically completed.

In this way, it seemed that Duke's side would make more money, so they quickly understood what was at stake, and couldn't help but be impressed by Duke's idea and said a lot of good things.

"Okay, okay, such an idea is not something that I suddenly thought of alone, so don't boast about it anymore. ”

Duke was so praised that he was uncomfortable, after all, it was not his original idea, and he did not dare to accept the praise of the two of them with such a rigid use, so he motioned for them to stop and share the refreshments that had not been spoken before.

So for a while, it can be regarded as a harmony between the monarch and the minister, during which Duke timely reminded Vlavic to make arrangements as soon as possible after he returned, and drew up a complete charter for him to see after considering today's experience and practical factors.

At the same time, he also asked Joseph to increase the production of cement and calculate a rough budget, not only to supply the church and Edwin's side, but also to make a resource reserve for the future overhaul of the cement road, so as to ensure the consumption of cement resources for the major project in the next few months.

The two of them naturally agreed in succession, this was originally a separate job for them, and this could not only settle the displaced people well, but also bring considerable development to their own territory. So they're very positive about it and they're going to get it done in two days.

While the four of them were happily communicating, the sound of the guards reporting came from outside the door.

Duke motioned for his ministers to be quiet for a while, and then asked the guards outside to come in and report with some confusion, and then he recognized at a glance that the guard who had come to report was one of the guards he had arranged for Agnes to send for her, and he already knew in his heart what he wanted to report.

Sure enough, after the other party saluted, he said: "Lord, Her Highness the Holy Maiden hopes that you can come over for a while, she said that there are some things she wants to discuss with you." ”

"Did she say it was because of something?"

Her Highness did not say it explicitly. The guard hesitated for a moment, then added, "Your Highness has been wanting to talk to you since sending off the messenger of the church yesterday, and I think it must have something to do with it." ”

The guard's words made Duke a little silent, not knowing what Agnes's true purpose was, so he waved the guard back, signaling that he already knew about it and would reply to him later.

For Agnes's invitation, Duke didn't think about what kind of attitude to respond to.

He guessed that Agnes had told him to talk to him about the things in the church, and according to Duke's meaning, he should never try to do it without this muddy water.

There are a lot of powerful people in the church, and their little body that has not developed well walks in front of a bunch of bigwigs, and if one is not good, he will be crushed to death immediately, which is completely self-defeating!

"Lord, I think that when you go to meet with Her Highness the Holy Maiden this time, you just need to listen to what she has to say, and don't make any promises or anything else in substance. ”

Vlavic on the side also quickly thought of this layer, when he was watching Minis, a messenger representing the cardinal, need to negotiate with Duke by pretending to be a guard, such a thing is not unusual later.

"That's true. Joseph actually interjected and added: "I think that the church has been so eager to buy so much cement lately can explain something, and it is not necessary to repair the church at all, and the amount of a month is enough to build a fortress! ”

Joseph was very excited when he first received the order from the church, and he didn't think of anything so deep at all.

However, during the period of calming down, he found that the church had behaved a little erratically during this time.

The reason for their falling out with Viscount Stern, the largest supplier of stone and the largest stone supplier with a long-term and solid foundation of cooperation, seems to be inextricably linked to this anomaly.

According to some gossip he heard, it was because the church suddenly increased the order, and then the lion of Viscount Stearns opened his mouth and bit the church fiercely, so that the two sides had a fierce friction.

It's just that what's even more bizarre is that the always tough church leaders have begun to consider accepting Viscount Stearn's unreasonable demands, and if it weren't for Joseph with cheaper and more convenient cement, Viscount Stern would have made a lot of money with this.

After figuring out the reasons and connections between the business, he suddenly felt a little worried about the retaliation of Viscount Stearns, after all, he was equivalent to suddenly cutting off a large business of his.

However, he waited for a long time and did not wait for the other party's revenge, and even the church kept sending letters to ask him if he could discuss the issue of continuing to increase orders.

The businessman's keen instincts made him feel that there must be a lot of tricks hidden in this, so he advised Duke to listen to Vlavich's advice and not to make any substantive commitments with His Highness the Virgin, who had a deep connection with the Church.

"I know, I wasn't going to have much to do with her. ”

Even if she completely discarded all this mess of the church, Duke alone didn't want to have anything to do with her.

If this unlucky saint was a teammate, Duke estimated that he would be angry with her first, and he didn't have to think about cooperation at all, it would be good to be alive.

Having made up his mind, he called out to the soldiers outside to bring his horses forward, and gave up the comfortable carriage for riding, so that he could get back to the castle more quickly, and the matter could be ended more quickly.

At least that's what he thought in his mind before he left.
