"Unstable factors?"

Leonardo. Beirut raised his eyebrows: "I heard that after the city defense army led by Cordillera was reorganized, in just half a year, not only eliminated the bandits in the territory, but also extinguished some small nobles who tried to start a rebellion, how can it still be unstable?" ”

"It's only a partial solution to the problem."

Hathaway had a worried look on her face, "After continuous fighting, the city defense army is tired, but the mountains of Brinia are still in chaos, there is constant friction between the miners and the mine owners, and the barbarian tribe is like a time bomb, as soon as they run out of food, the granary of the human race becomes their backyard." Moreover, the dark region is not stable, and the proportion of merchants and mercenaries who are trapped in it is increasing year by year, and people are panicking......"

"Someone can fix it?" Leonardo. Beirut laughed. He felt that Hathaway was just like a little woman now, long-winded, but not annoying.

"Of course,"

Hathaway nodded very strictly: "Some people farm, and the food produced can not only solve the problem of food and clothing, but also help solve the problem of barbarians, at least ordinary people who can eat their stomachs will rarely take up arms to fight; When someone starts working, there will be a steady stream of ore mined in exchange for gold carats, which will lead to economic prosperity, and only when the economy presents a healthy prosperity, the society will naturally be stable, even in the event of war, they are not afraid, because the people will take up arms to kill or expel the invaders who deprive them of their good life. ”

"Healthy prosperity......" Leonardo. Beirut groaned, and this kind of speech was refreshing to him. His gaze slowly swept over the nobles around him, and he suddenly couldn't help but compare—is this considered a healthy prosperity?

The night was late, like an invitation to dinner from His Majesty the Emperor, and although it was a supreme honor, Hathaway was not very interested in it, but thinking of the purpose of the trip, she reluctantly expressed her moderate gratitude.

The buildings in the villa manor are more relaxed, but as the king of a country, Fivinel XVIII certainly has to show his own difference, outside the building where he lives. There is a very striking granite door number. It was marked with the following words: "1 Bassington." "This shows that this is one of the most prestigious buildings.

Hathaway took a stroll through the green square in the evening and looked at Building 1 from afar...... Unlike the two iron railings on the gates of the other buildings, the gates of Building 1 are beautiful and made of granite. It is in the shape of a round arch. Very beautiful. Its left and right sides are carved with totems representing royalty and empire, respectively. The arch of the door is carved with the legend of gods and angels appearing on the battlefield to bless the Narcissus Knight.

Upon entering the gate, there is a fountain in front of the main house, and in the middle of the pool there is a dragon sculpture standing there. Looking up at the sky, the wings seem to open at any time, and the whole majestic body seems to be ready to rise into the air at any time, full of domineering...... From the point of view of artwork, the carving is good, but Hathaway lost interest at a glance, where is this shape worthy of the majesty of the dark blue?

Although the house was not luxurious, the materials used were extremely elaborate, and all the furniture was made of uncarved wood, and the growth rings on the wooden furniture became the best decoration compared to the simple appearance.

The corner sofas in the hall are arranged in the order of guest and host, each with a delicate low table, although this arrangement occupies a large part of the space in the main living room, but the host thinks that this is not a big deal, rather than leaving the space idle, it is better to stuff it with things that look pleasing to the eye, at least to receive a few more guests.

However, it is worth mentioning the various light fixtures in this building...... This is the only place where the owner feels luxurious. There are different styles of magic crystal lamps in each room, especially in the main living room, the huge golden magic crystal lamp is like a small purple sun, illuminating the entire hall.

Hathaway and Leonardo. Beirut didn't stay in the living room for long, even if a royal attendant brought it into the dining room. They walked through a long corridor full of collectibles...... These collections were hunted by successive emperors and were made into specimens and placed there. Speaking of implementation, Hathaway didn't feel the bravery of those emperors, only that this corridor was eerie.

Maybe it's because of the treat, Fivinel XVIII can't make it too shabby, so tonight's menu is really good, a steamed lobster, a roast crab, a veal steak, clay pot lamb, cabbage salad, sardine salad, strawberry banana tart, a custard bread, a white bread, and a huge fruit tart...... Smelling that fragrance makes people salivate.

Naturally, he sat at the head of the table, and he ordered the waiter to take out two bottles of 801-year-old red wine from the cellar, according to which this fine wine with liquid gold carats was already priceless and could not be seen in the market, and Hathaway had the privilege of drinking it with a sumptuous dish today.

"So...... Count Bell, are you still satisfied with the food? Fivinlie XVIII asked with a smile.

"Very good, especially this 100-year-old wine. Your Majesty, I haven't taken a meal seriously since I went to the Cordillera Plateau. Hathaway was basically full, and stopped her knife and fork and said.

"Oh? Looks like you don't like it there. Fivinlie XVIII's eyes flickered slightly.

"Of course not, I fell in love with the Cordillera shortly after I went there." Hathaway smiled.

"Why?" Fivinlie XVIII was a little curious.

"Struggle with the sky, the joy is endless! Struggle with the ground, the fun is endless! Struggle with people, the fun is endless! Hathaway said confidently.

Fei Wenlie XVIII's eyes flashed, and he repeated in a low voice, with a smile on his face: "Good, good, it seems that your enemy is going to have a nightmare." ”

"Your Majesty, my enemy is the enemy of the Empire." Hathaway added at the right time, although there was some suspicion of slapping the horse's whiskers, but the effect was still quite good. Whether it's an elderly king or a graceful queen, they all smile.

Fei Wenlie XVIII put down his knife and fork, wiped the vegetable stains on the corner of his mouth with a napkin, and sighed: "Time is not forgiving! Count Bell, I know you have something to do this time, and I'm getting older and less energetic than before, so I'll go and rest first. If there is anything you can tell the Marquis of Abbe, he will give you a satisfactory answer. After speaking, His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Empress got up and left at the same time as if they had made an appointment.

Hathaway really wanted to push the old man back to her seat at this moment, but she finally held back and got up to send the Supreme away.

"Let's go to the living room and talk." Marquis Abbe said with a smile.

The group came to the living room, sat down with the guests, and Leonardo. Beirut sat next to him without embarrassment because no one asked him to avoid it, and neither side of the conversation meant to keep it secret.

The Marquis of Abbe had been the head of the court for many years, and was definitely the most loyal courtier under the eighteenth emperor of the fiven. Moreover, this person is very cautious, much more stable than other ministers of the empire, and is an indispensable and important figure for His Majesty the Emperor. Therefore, Hathaway also attached great importance to this conversation, as for Leonardo. Beirut, at the moment he is completely a soy sauce beater.

Marquis Abbe looked at the young Countess of Cordillera in front of him with some curiosity. When he received the message that Hathaway had succeeded in taking most of the power of the Cordillera Territory, the first feeling was that those guys were too stupid, they had nearly twenty years to calmly arrange, but they were overturned and rebuilt by a girl who had only been here for a few months, and those guys were all old enough to live to Warcraft?

Still, he was genuinely curious and curious to know how Hathaway did it.

"Your Excellency, you said that the Cordillera would like to accept refugees from the Kingdom of the Alps?" After listening to Hathaway's request, Marquis Abbe glanced at the other party's face in surprise, and reminded: "That's not tens of thousands, but hundreds of thousands. ”

"Of course I know, if it's only a few thousand people, then why bother with you and Your Majesty?" Hathaway nodded.

"But I don't understand what you want so many refugees to do?"

Marquis Abbe frowned and said: "With all due respect, Your Excellency the Earl, you are young and do not know that there are many inconveniences in relocating refugees, and the food alone is unbearable, and it is currently shared by several countries. ”

Hathaway smiled faintly and said, "Lord Marquis probably also knows that the Cordillera Plateau is located in the northwest barren, the land is vast and sparsely populated, the economy is backward, and the number of those barbarians is even more than that of the human race. In the past, due to the inaction of the territorial officials, the population of the Cordillera was lost and thieves were rampant, and that was already a matter of history, and since I was the lord of the Cordillera, it was my responsibility to make it prosperous.

Although the Cordillera Plateau is poor, the land is not barren, and it is rich in minerals, and there is a long coastline, whether it is farming, animal husbandry, fishing, or mining, it has a good foundation, especially after the extermination of those bandits, the territory is safe, and now there are only enough people to be able to carry out the construction work, and I believe that those refugees will cherish this hard-won opportunity. As for the resettlement of refugees, I had thought about it before I came to Hathaway. The resettlement of refugees is nothing more than clothing, food, shelter and medical care. This year's Cordillera has been a bumper crop, and if we can buy some more food from other places, at least until the next harvest season, the problem of feeding the refugees can be solved. Housing is not a problem, as soon as the refugees start to move, the Cordillera side will immediately start building houses for the refugees, and when they arrive, there will be no place to live......"

Hathaway spoke eloquently. (To be continued......)
