Chapter 970: Viscount Gauld

While limping past the capture of several farmers, he sent out a soul torture to the group of people in the tavern, "Haven't you ever thought of changing your way of life? You don't have to endure the layers of exploitation of those noble lords, you don't have to endure the oppression of their captive villains and minions, and you have to hand over seventy or eighty percent of the land you have worked hard for a year."

Those aristocratic lords sing day after day on the wealth we have created, but we have to tighten our belts, eat chaff vegetables, and even the worst ale mixed with water, we have to count and drink with our fingers, are you willing to live so aggrieved for the rest of your life?"

In the face of Little John's questioning, the farmers who chased and intercepted him couldn't help but slow down.

There is no doubt that these words hit them in the sore spot.

They do the hardest work, but they eat the worst meals and drink the worst drinks.

All the wealth is planted by them, but it is not theirs.

Except for those lords and nobles, no one took it for granted.

"If you don't live like this for the rest of your life, what can you do?" said a rhetorical question from the crowd.

"If the Eternal Night Commander really uses troops on a large scale on the Flower Language Plateau, it will be a great opportunity for us to turn over. Little John finally threw out the topic he wanted to talk about.

"Hey...... To put it nicely, what if the Eternal Night Army is killed? The world is as black as a crow, and we don't have to pay taxes in the same way? It's just that it's handed over to different people. ”

"It's different, it's very different, under the rule of the Eternal Night Lord, although the same taxes are paid, all the tax items are clear, and they will not change easily, and no additional taxes are allowed at will, on the contrary, if there are special circumstances, taxes will be reduced.

It is said that the tax has been falling for the past two years, which we have seen with our own eyes, and this is also the reason why those noble lords do not want us to do business, they are afraid that we will be attracted by the Eternal Night Army Leader, and they will not want to come back there. ”

"What you are talking about is the situation of the Eternal Night Army Leader himself, it does not mean that after they enter the plateau, they will adopt the same policy, not to mention the war together, you and I are afraid that we will not have the opportunity to sit here and drink, but will be dragged to the battlefield as cannon fodder, whether they can walk off the battlefield alive is still unknown, everyone is dead, where is there anything else. ”

"You really think too highly of our nobles, if the army of the Eternal Night Army really kills the high plains, they are afraid that the speed of surrender is even faster than the rabbit runs, if this situation really occurs, it will be worse, if the Eternal Night Army Leader still uses them to continue to govern the local area, we still have no good life. ”

"That's what I was just going to say, aren't those noble lords calling back and forth, back and forth?"

"Therefore, if the army led by the Eternal Night Army really attack, we must give those noble lords no chance to surrender. Little John walked around for half the day, and finally showed the cold glow of the dagger.

At this time, no one dared to chase little John anymore, on the contrary, they couldn't help but stay away from him, and they were somewhat shocked by his rebellious remarks.

Little John didn't give them a chance to choose at all, but poured out his plan like pouring beans from a bamboo tube and said: "What I'm saying is just an assumption, in the past, it was established that the Eternal Night Army led a large-scale march to the plateau over the sky, and if the army didn't even appear, this proposal should not have appeared."

If it does happen, this is not only a great opportunity for us to save ourselves from trouble, but also a great opportunity for us to take revenge and reap the riches, don't you want to get back your share of the wealth?

At that time, even if something goes wrong, we can blame everything on the revolutionary party, which has nothing to do with us, and give me another drink. ”

Little John limped and walked to the wine table again, asked for a double of the spirits, drank it all, and laughed: "The opportunity has been placed in front of you, whether you can grasp it or not, it is your own business, disperse, disperse, if it is not unexpected, our baron lord is likely to get the news, and his lackeys may be on the way here." ”

"What are you still doing stupidly? Do you really want to wait for those ruthless guys to come? Once they are targeted and labeled as a revolutionary army, even if we don't die, we will have to peel off our skins. ”

"Little John, you're going to hurt us, you're going to forcibly drag everyone into the water. ”

"As long as there is no high density among you, there is no need to worry, if there is a high density among you, there is no way. ”

In just a few minutes, the originally lively tavern was empty.

Little John, who was the culprit of this incident, was also mixed in with the crowd and disappeared into the night.

When the guards of the powerful ruler of this town heard the news and chased after little John's house, the house was empty, and the owner had long since left for a long time, and there was no way to find out, and there was no time to investigate.

Because this is not an isolated incident, but a mass one.

For weeks, similar agitation has been circulating in the streets and alleys.

The old accounts and new accounts between the ordinary people and the lords and nobles of the Huayu Plateau were all turned over, and they were once again naked in front of everyone.

For a moment, the relationship between the ordinary people and the local nobility was unprecedentedly tense.

In particular, some local aristocrats became angry and adopted more bloody and brutal punishment methods, which further intensified the contradictions between the two sides.

Flower Language City.

The capital of the Flower Language Plateau.

The roots of the Brian family.

Nature is at the center of this revolutionary storm.

Like all eye of the storm, it is now calm and peaceful, and the class-based life of yesteryear is still maintained.

The lords and nobles still maintained their own decent, luxurious lives.

Civilians work hard to feed their perpetually hungry bellies and earn a pitiful commission.

Only a few people who have a sense of crisis and are willing to open their eyes to the world can feel the sense of crisis.

The eye of the storm appears to be the safest place for the storm, but it is actually the most dangerous place because the storm is mobile.

Once the storm starts moving, it means that the storm has gathered enough strength to sweep through everything that has ever been in the eye of the storm in a terrifying manner.

Viscount Gauld is undoubtedly one of the best, he is known as the first person to open his eyes to the world in the past ten years, and he is also the person who has risen the fastest in recent decades.

It's just that his real power is a little different from ordinary real power nobles, he currently only has a remote town under his name, and many real power barons are stronger than him.

But now in the Huayu Plateau, no one dares to look down on him, and it is a common thing to become a guest of those earls and marquises.

Not only because he is now Chancellor of the Exchequer to Grand Duke Christine, but also because of the trade routes and trade relations with the Eternal Night Warlords, as well as several arsenals.

These arsenals are advanced technology imported from the Eternal Night Warlords.

The manufactured military products have the miraculous effect of transforming an army.

These arsenals do not produce military products, but golden gold.

In this world, as long as you have money, you can buy everything you want, and you say that Viscount Gauld's strength is not strong.

The sky was just dawning.

At midnight, he arrived at Viscount Galder in Huayu City, didn't even sleep, washed his face with cold water, and couldn't wait to take a large stack of materials and go straight to the Bryan family's Gaoyan Castle.

Along the way, Viscount Gauld was unimpeded, and for ordinary people, the castle fortress, which he had never had the opportunity to approach in his life, was like returning to his own home.

The servants in the castle were all respectful and smiling when they saw him.

Viscount Gauld is currently a popular person around the Grand Duke Christine, and having the authorization of His Excellency the Grand Duke is only one aspect.

On the other hand, it is the large amount of silver and gold that Viscount Gauld spends on them every month that is working, and there are very few people who can't get along with money.

"Lord Viscount, it's not that I don't give you face, it's that Your Majesty was happy yesterday, drank a few more glasses, just fell asleep, it's really not suitable to bother, what's important, wait for Your Majesty to wake up, and then it's not too late, my lord, don't worry, as soon as Your Majesty wakes up, I will send someone to inform you as soon as possible." Viscount Gauld was stopped at the last checkpoint where he met Archduke Christine, and the Archduke's close guard explained with a look of embarrassment.

Of course, they don't want to offend the God of Wealth in front of them, and the other party now has a little thing in his fingers, which is enough for them to be used for life.

But their duties were more important, and the Grand Duke of Christine was always so angry that it would be better to be beaten with a few lashes, and it would be terrible to be transferred from the Grand Duke if he was found to be unfaithful.

Viscount Gauld was able to bring them benefits, that was because of their current status as the Grand Duke's guard, if they didn't have this identity, the other party was afraid that they wouldn't even look at them, let alone take the initiative to give them benefits.

They are very clear about the priority of this.

The game of power and money between lords and nobles has always been played like this.

"The matter is urgent, there is really no way to wait for Your Majesty to wake up, and please go in and report it, if Your Majesty is angry, I am willing to bear it alone. Sir Gold's face remained unchanged, but his heart was extremely heavy, and a deep disappointment swept through his heart.

When has this been?

Archduke Christine was still in the mood to drink and have fun all night.

He had to wait until the army led by the Eternal Night Army entered the plateau, and those revolutionary troops led the mob to the front of High Rock Castle, before he realized the seriousness of the matter?

"This ......" the Grand Duke's close guard said with a look of embarrassment, "My lord, don't embarrass us, this kind of responsibility is not something you can bear if you want to help us, this is our greatest duty, at this time, it is our dereliction of duty to disturb Your Majesty, no matter how important it is, it is not bad for this day and a half, please forgive me." ”

"If what I am holding now is just ordinary financial information, I will not say a word, I will turn around and leave, but what I am holding now is important information related to the life and death of our military leader, let alone half a day, even half an hour can not afford to delay, once the major event is delayed, it is not a matter of heavy punishment at that time, but to lose my head. Seeing that the other party did not enter, and regarded his duties as more important than anything else, Sir Gold's face involuntarily drooped.

put away his usual sleek smile, and Sir Galder's serious expression was not majestic.

The two close guards in front of him couldn't help but feel a burst in their hearts.

The more sleek Grand Duke's close guard, with a smile on his face: "Sir Don't scare us, who doesn't know that you are the Chancellor of the Exchequer next to the Grand Duke, the intelligence is in the hands of Lord Calvin, and the military is Lord Nickles' responsibility, you tell us now, you are now holding important military information, and you have already overstepped your duties, if the matter is really as urgent as you said, you first communicate with the two adults, and after reaching an agreement, then come together to ask for Your Majesty, even if it is a heavy punishment, I will definitely go in to report." ”

"If the two of you pay enough attention to the information I provide, I don't have to come to see Your Majesty in person. The other party's suggestion made Galder's chest feel even more depressed.

He had already obtained this information in his hand in the early hours of yesterday morning.

Given that it was too late, the gates of High Rock Castle had been closed, and it was even more cumbersome to meet Archduke Christine.

I don't want to keep people completely clean.

Someone sent one in advance to the Brian family's Minister of Intelligence and Minister of War.

Needless to say, the difficulties suffered by those messengers in this process are not to be said, they went to deliver the letter in the early morning, and when they came back, it was almost dawn, and it was still unknown whether the information was delivered to the person concerned in the first place.

Judging from the fact that they were the first to rush to High Rock Castle, even if they received the information they handed over, they didn't pay much attention to it.

"I said, according to Viscount Gauld's strict and loyal nature, he will definitely step on the time when the castle opens, and come to meet His Majesty, General Nickles doesn't believe it, so he has to drag me around Viscount Gauld's mansion, and now you believe it, your latest pistol from the Eternal Night Army is mine. ”

"I wish I lost the bet, and when I get back later, I will have the squire pack it and send it to Earl Calvin. ”

Two figures, one tall and one short, had already reached Viscount Gauld's side as he spoke.

"Lord Calvin, Lord Nickles, here you are. Seeing these two people, Viscount Gauld was somewhat surprised, and bowed slightly to them.

If you talk about the position next to the Grand Duke Christine, the three are similar, but if you talk about family status, he is still inferior.

Some concepts of dignity and inferiority have been engraved in the bones, and will not be completely eliminated with the change of Viscount Gauld's identity.

The two of them bowed lightly at Viscount Gauld, looking as if they were taken for granted.

The affinity of the two for Viscount Gauld is only on the surface, but in their bones they are still rejecting people thousands of miles away.
