Chapter 205: Meeting (1)

Hathaway's disarmament proposal harmed the interests of many people, so those people did some small actions in private. After being sharply countered by Hathaway, the men stopped their movements and turned to see Hathaway's jokes.

laid off more than 3,000 people, as well as their families...... Even if you feed 3,000 pigs, you need a lot of feed, let alone people who need a lot of them?

However, Hathaway immediately introduced the collective farm plan, and even if he was not very familiar with the farm work in the field, but under the guidance of the hired peasants, the planted soldiers quickly became familiar with the work at hand.

In fact, this situation is somewhat similar to Tuntian, and those wait-and-see did not expect it...... If the land and means of production had been distributed to these people separately, I am afraid that the grass in their fields would have grown more luxuriantly than the crops, but now it was a unified labor under the unified direction, not only farming, but also the beginning of a variety of breeding, and in a few months, with the exception of a few slippery fellows who had been severely punished, most of the people had become accustomed to this kind of life. Moreover, the crops in the fields are growing very well, and there is a bumper harvest scene, and those who want to see the excitement are shocked. In addition, there is a special person in the city hall who is there to check the accounts with great fanfare, which makes people panic, so there is an endless stream of people entering and leaving Baron Bell's mansion these days, and even Lord Camille's mansion, which seemed very calm a few days ago, is also lively.

Fernando sleeping in. Bell was woken up by the servant from the bed early in the morning, his eyes were dark and very displeased, he grabbed a water cup and was about to smash it, when a familiar figure suddenly appeared at the door, and he put down the water cup in a curt: "Father." Are you looking for me? ”

"Today's regular meeting of the Lord's Palace, don't you know?" Solo. Bell said sternly.

Fernando. Bell opened his mouth and yawned, and said reluctantly: "Hasn't there been nothing going on in the past few months?" Besides, I don't attend the meeting, what's the matter with me? ”

"Nonsense! There are some things that you should be involved in, and a few of them came early in the morning, so you should come too. "Solo. Bell glared at him and turned to leave.

"I haven't eaten yet."

Fernando. Bell muttered something in a low voice, but quickly got dressed and hurried to the study...... Solo. Several of Bell's henchmen have arrived and are deliberating.

"Your Excellency. The city guards couldn't let her do this. Now the number of city defense troops is no longer enough to maintain the needs of law and order in the territory, she is doing this brute! A layoff nobleman exclaimed angrily.

"It's okay to say that she has already tasted the sweetness of power, and I'm afraid the next step will be to dismantle our private army." Someone else said in a low voice. But it was Han Feng, the commander of the city defense army. Cistern.

"If you really cut the private army. I'm afraid few people will agree. Isn't she afraid of offending people? "Fernando. Bell asked, a little incredulous.

"That's better, the more people she offends, the more people who would otherwise remain neutral will be more biased towards us." Solo. Bell said lightly.

"The private armies of the nobles are difficult to dismantle. Unless there is a good reason, I think the most important thing at this stage is to seize the military power of the city defense army. It is undeniable that after the disarmament, the combat effectiveness of the city defense force has been greatly improved, and we must firmly grasp the military power, which is the most important thing for us. "Han Feng. Chi said.

"That's right, it's a critical moment."

Solo. Bell nodded: "In the past, the city defense army was dispensable to us, but now it is different, this army must be in our hands. ”

"Your Excellency, your niece has only been here for less than half a year, and she has caused us such a big trouble. It seems that the current treasurer Aaron. Baron Jerami is very close to her, and there will be no small moves by him in this financial audit. It turned out to be Yu Lian, who had always been considered a neutral person. Baron Milton.

"It's a lot of trouble, but she's my niece after all, and it's better to ease some things, and hopefully she'll fully realize that she's a member of the Bell family. But she wanted Aaron. Jerami's old slippery head is probably not an easy thing to do to help her, just with her half-orc guards? "Solo. Bell shook his head amusedly.

"It's better for us to be cautious, judging from the dismissal of the city defense army and the establishment of that collective farm, this young lord should not be underestimated." Han Feng. Chi said. Although he was still in command of the city defense army, Hathaway guided this disarmament, although he did not stuff people into the army, but promoted a group of grassroots officers from below, if he couldn't get these people, it would be a problem for him, the commander, to be able to command this army in the future.

"Why can't you put Aaron. Jerami get rid of? "Fernando. Bell asked suddenly.

"Nonsense!" Solo. Bell glared at his son.

Fernando. Although Bell didn't dare to refute, his eyes revealed that he was very unconvinced.

"Fernando, if this construction is okay before the lord comes, but it's better not to move this idea now, because the current personnel power is completely in her hands, and we can't let our own people take the throne at all." Even. Milton explained softly.

"I see." Fernando. Bell glanced at his father and nodded.

"Your Excellency, since my niece came to Mandy Gaza City, the series of actions has been quite dazzling, we must be careful now, and we must pay close attention to any changes in the territory, especially to increase the intensification of intelligence gathering attempts." Han Feng. Chi reminded.

Solo. Bell's eyes immediately turned to his son...... He can't trust anyone else in this kind of thing, and it has always been Fernando. Bell process.

"I've added more staff, and I've hired quite a few thieves on the mercenary union's side. Just ...... "Fernando. Bell glanced at his father with some trepidation.

"Just what?!" Solo. Bell asked impatiently.

"The main thing is information about the farm, and no one in the lord's mansion can go there." Fernando. Bell was a little helpless.

Hathaway did not deliberately keep the information of the collective farm secret, and could be found casually, but the lord's mansion was not only guarded by the King of Shadows, but also arranged with dense magic traps, and after those thieves entered, they were discovered before they could get close to the inner perimeter, and under the attack of the elven archers, they were no different from moving targets.

What kind of virtue is his own son, Zoro. How did Bell not know? When Hathaway didn't come before, he didn't feel very much, but now he feels a little stretched.

"Your Excellency, the time is almost up." Even. Milton reminded as he looked at the magic timer in the room.
