Chapter 310: Engagement

"Your Excellency the Viscount is really very courageous, but I am afraid that this thousand miles of fertile land will eventually become a wasteland, and even our Antonia family will disappear!" Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Where is there absolute silence in the Valley of Dawn now, and with or without my intervention, it is destined to become a battlefield. Hearing this, Lei Qi smiled disapprerovingly, and then said, "If your family is worried about the safety of their clan, you can transfer some of their clansmen to Black Wind City, which is almost the hinterland of Lei Man's territory, and it is expected that it will be relatively stable for a long time to come." ”

Seeing Leitch's suggestion, Akivin, Bishop, the old man of Guitar City and others were eyes flashing, obviously moved-it was not that they couldn't think of transferring their clansmen and family property, but in the absence of protection, these transferred clansmen and property could only be reduced to the desserts of those local magnates! Similarly, as nobles, Akiwin and the others were very clear about the methods of the nobles, which was also the reason why they were eager to seek refuge.

With Leech's current power, it is not big or small in the entire Dawson Federation, and unless he intends to completely enfriend Viscount Black Wind, no one will dare to fight the idea of the person he is sheltering! And with the current development momentum shown by Viscount Black Wind, it is indeed a pretty good potential stock!

"What do you think, Count?"

After arguing for a long time, several side clans finally agreed to Leitch's proposal, so Akiwin put the decision-making power back into the hands of the main owner, that is, Mavis.

"You've all talked about it, and you still need to ask my sister's opinion?" Davis sneered mercilessly.

This made Akivin, Xia Zuo and the others have a trace of unnaturalness on their faces, but they didn't feel that there was anything wrong with them doing this, it was all for the benefit of the family!

"I agree. ”

Although Mavis's expression was quite calm, when she looked at Leitch, her pretty face couldn't help but show a hint of blush and irrepressible joy - herself, as for the justifiable and thief together!

"Wait, I have something to say!" Bishop interjected with a smile on his face.

"Old thing, are you taking yourself too seriously? Do you dare to object at this time?!" Seeing this, Davis was furious, and an incomparably majestic momentum overflowed from Davis, like the sun and the moon in the sky!

Bishop was secretly angry in his heart, but he still smiled on his face and said: "No, the queen's daughter has misunderstood, I have absolutely no objection, I just think that this rush is not suitable for a wedding, so I suggest that the wedding of the Earl and the Viscount be arranged in a year?"

Seeing that other people's eyes were looking at him, Leitch looked at Mavis and said with a smile: "I listen to you, do whatever you say." ”

Seeing that Leitch respected himself so much, Mavis called a sweetness in his heart, and after thinking about it carefully, Mavis also felt that this was indeed not the best time to hold a wedding, especially since Starmist Valley still had serious problems waiting to be dealt with, so although he was anxious, Mavis still nodded and said, "Then a year later." ”

"Then we will be one family from now on, Your Excellency the Viscount. Bishop looked at Leitch kindly, as if he hadn't felt sorry for him at all.

"Of course. Leitch also smiled and nodded, his face also not in the slightest unnatural.

"Although the wedding will not take place until a year later, from now on I will exercise the power of the lord of the territory, and I believe that no one will object, right?" Reich smiled and looked around at the crowd.

Seeing that Leqi made his position clear so quickly, Akiwin and the others couldn't help but have a trace of unnaturalness on their faces, and they felt secretly angry in their hearts, feeling that this Viscount of the Black Wind was really a bit too forceful! But Leqi didn't have this consciousness at all, this is a matter of position, since he wants to enter the Tianqin Territory, then he should exercise the power of the lord of the territory, this is not the place to be hypocritical.

"Since there is no objection, I shall now issue the following orders. ”

"First, starting tomorrow, the news of my engagement to Mavis will be announced to the entire Dawn Valley, and at the same time, I will submit a 'Pioneer Application' to the Senate to officially merge the Lyra Territory into the Black Wind Territory. In other words, once the application is approved, the Lyra Territory will be renamed the Black Wind Territory. Of course, with the exception of changing the name of the province, everything remains the same. ”

"Why can't we keep the name of 'Lyra's Domain'?" said Akiwin as he stared at Leitch unwillingly.

Reich can understand Akivin's unwillingness, but that doesn't mean he will let other people's ideas dictate his decisions. Taking a sip of wine, Leitch said meaningfully: "Although I am a federal councillor and have the right to pioneer, my territory and title were originally given by the Grand Duke of Preston, and I can't forget my roots, and I don't want to cause unhappiness between me and the Grand Duke." ”

Although Leqi didn't explain, Akiwin and the others understood-Leitch is now a federal councilor, but in general, the rest of the forces will instinctively regard the Black Wind Territory as a subsidiary force of the Leiman Territory, and once Leqi changes the name of the territory, it means that he will completely break away from the Leiman Territory! Although this seems to be theoretically true, it is the people's hearts that are complicated! If he had an unpleasant quarrel with Lei Man's territory because of this, with Leqi's current strength, once Lei Man's territory wanted to stumble on Lei Qi, it would still be enough for him to drink a pot. So although Akiwin and the others were still a little unhappy in their hearts, they didn't say anything more.

"Second, I will reorganize the Earl's Court. ”

"Tsk, Your Excellency the Viscount just made it clear that the territory is business as usual not long ago!" Immediately, Bishop looked at Leitch with mockery in his eyes, and Akivin's face became gloomy.

"No, I think you misunderstood what I meant, and I said that the reorganization was to add some administrative staff to be precise—on the basis of retaining the consuls, magistrates, and city defense officers, I will create new diplomats, tax officers, and commercial officers, and these six officials will form a new administrative body of the Earl's Court!"

"Diplomats are indispensable, especially now that the war is about to break out, diplomacy is sometimes more important than war!As for why a new business officer is added, I can tell you some inside information here - I have already cooperated with the Biwingbird Chamber of Commerce, the Sunset Territory, the Golden Flower Territory, and the Abyss Territory in the manufacture and sale of crossbows, and in the next year, the Blackset Domain's blacksmith shop will be established in the Sunset Territory's network base in the Seven Kings Realm!"

"Shhhh

Hearing this, whether it was Bishop, Xia Zuo, or even Akiven, who was the consul of the territory, they couldn't help but look at Leqi with shocked eyes, and there was a thick disbelief in their eyes - the Black Wind Chamber of Commerce will establish a blacksmith shop in all the connections in the Sunset Territory in the Seven Kings Realm?! Although the Antonia family does not know all the nobles of the Dawson Federation, they have vaguely heard that the Stephen family, who is in charge of the Sunset Territory, is a large tribe that has migrated from the Seven Kings Realm! Although it is impossible for a large tribe to have connections throughout the vast Seven Kings Realm, it is definitely not to be underestimated! Once the Black Wind Chamber of Commerce establishes a stable trade route in the Seven Kings Realm, it is foreseeable that the strength of the Black Wind Territory will undoubtedly skyrocket!

"This, Your Excellency the Viscount, although I know that you are certainly not short of those few dollars, but at this time when you are in urgent need of money and people, you can say where we are useful!" Ignoring Monte's undisguised disdain, the old man in Guitar City looked at Leitch with a face almost on his face.

"Haha, don't worry about this, just like I promised before, after I enter the main territory, your vested interests will not only be protected, but even gradually rise!" Seeing Leitch nodding with a smile on his face, the old man of Guitar City almost couldn't help but hug Leqi's thigh and cry bitterly - the viscount is really broad-minded, and he won't forget us at all if he has benefits!

Although Xia Zuo and the others extremely despised the shamelessness of the old man in Guitar City in their hearts, but now that they have received Leqi's promise, they are all overjoyed!

"Hehe, I don't have any objections to diplomats and commercial officers, but I'm a little puzzled why we need to have an extra tax officer?" Bishop said "puzzled" in words, but his meaningful gaze wandered back and forth between Leitch and Akivin.

If there is one question of who the new tax collector has the greatest influence on, it is undoubtedly Akivin, because taxation is part of Akivin's authority, and it is still an extremely important part! If he is unable to take charge of taxation, he is somewhat unworthy of his name!

Akiwin understood this, so his face was so cold that it was almost freezing, and he looked at Leitch without blinking, obviously waiting for Leitch to give a reasonable explanation.

"What's so hard to understand about this? You know, once the Black Wind Territory and the Lyra Territory merge, the tax work will almost span most of the Federation, and I will add a new tax officer separately just to reduce the workload of the Archon. ”

After listening to Leitch's explanation, Akivin's face did not improve at all, but became more and more gloomy, while the smile on Bishop's face was even stronger, just when he wanted to take advantage of the situation to provoke it, he saw Leitch continue: "After thinking about it, I propose to appoint Mrs. Shalang as the tax collector of the territory, I wonder what Ms. Shalang and His Excellency Achillon think?"

Hearing this, whether it was Akivin, Shalang, or Bishop and others, they were all stunned, they didn't expect Leitch to appoint Shalang as the tax officer!

Akivin's expression changed for a moment, and finally he smiled bitterly, but he was silent. Bishop's expression became extremely gloomy, and a trace of deep jealousy flashed in his eyes when he looked at Leitch again.

That's right, Leitch is distracting Akivin's power, and he is still a naked conspiracy! But his move is to leave everyone speechless, including Akiwin himself-because no one present knows Akimoon's affection for Shalang! Of course, Leitch's trick will work, provided that Shalang himself agrees to the appointment first. So for a while, everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at Shalang.

Being looked at by so many people, the quiet Sha Lang's face couldn't help but blush, his expression was slightly uneasy, and he hesitated: "This-"

"Mother, say yes!" At this time, Monte, who had been silent for a long time, looked at Shalang with a longing expression.

After staring at Monte for a moment, Sharon smiled elegantly and said flatly: "Since Your Excellency the Viscount values the little girl so much, I can't live up to your favor. ”
