Augustian Empire, eastern part of the imperial capital.

In the gourmet restaurant with luxurious decoration, elegant environment and melodious piano sound, Langton sat on the booth and enjoyed the food made according to the memories of his previous life.

Because of the chaotic situation in the empire today, the trade of goods is not smooth.

The emperor also needed a place to spy on the nobility.

Langton had the Lanton Chamber of Commerce, the Royal Chamber of Commerce, and a Westfrontier Chamber of Commerce secretly invest in the restaurant, and hired a foreign nobleman to manage it.

Then he proposed several acquisitions on the surface, and secretly made trouble.

In the end, he was accidentally discovered by the emperor's eldest son.

Resulting in failed acquisitions.

This made the nobles think that the restaurant had nothing to do with the emperor.

And Langton.

He also plays the role of a diner who can't buy a restaurant, but has a taste of the food here, and at the same time comes to enjoy the food every day, he keeps proposing to buy it because he is unwilling, further paralyzing everyone.

For those from the Northland.

Gabriel Langton, a pioneer knight who made meritorious contributions in the counterinsurgency and crusade, has no one who does not know him in the imperial capital.

A mere pioneer knight.

Even if he made a lot of military exploits, he was not worthy of the attention of the nobles.

What really caught their attention was that Langton was personally appointed by the Emperor as Minister of Commerce and President of the Royal Chamber of Commerce.

Then it took just a few months to set up the factory.

The commodity has not actually been sold.

I received a deposit of hundreds of thousands of gold coins!

Knowing that Langton had such a lucrative ability that no nobleman could ignore it, and every single one wanted to befriend him.

But with the emperor's decree to reclaim the rights of the minor nobles and fiefs.

The nobles turned away from Langton, who had thrown himself into the emperor's possession.

Because of jealousy of Langton's ability to make money.

Because of resentment that the emperor took away the rights and fiefs of the nobles.

Because of his anger, he was the emperor's subordinate and aided in the abuse.

They began to reject Langton again, and expressed unfeigned and unrestrained contempt for his lowly status as a businessman!

At the booth, Landon finished the otherworldly cocktail, closed the ledger and left

Seeing him leave, in the elegant, pleasant piano restaurant, the other nobles who enjoyed the food suddenly let out a burst of disdain, contempt, and contempt.

"Well, a hillbilly from the Northland deserves to sit in the same restaurant with us. ”

"Don't say that, people are big celebrities around the emperor, and we little nobles can't afford to mess with them!"

"Hehe, helping the emperor to make countless people homeless, this kind of person is a lowly businessman, why should we be afraid?"

"That's right, if you are afraid, he should be afraid of us!"

"A businessman who aids in the abuse, and everyone still doesn't mention him, which has swept away my interest in enjoying the food. The man in armor and full of military atmosphere said in disgust: "I really don't know what is eye-catching about this kind of guy from a pariah background." ”

"Lord Earl, we know your great strength, but you just came to the emperor and didn't know that that guy became the Minister of Commerce, took over the Royal Chamber of Commerce, and earned hundreds of thousands of gold coins in just a few months.

Let the emperor successfully complete the three expansions!"

"Imperial Garrison Corps, Imperial Second and Third Infantry Regiments?"

"That's right, it's these three forces that are causing trouble. ”

"Tsk, no wonder, but in the business field, earning hundreds of thousands of gold coins in a few months is already the limit, and no matter how capable he is, it is no more than that. ”

"Lord Earl, it seems that your news is a bit closed......"

"How?"

"Those hundreds of thousands of gold coins are just a deposit, as long as the goods are shipped out of the central region, he can earn millions of gold coins for the emperor. ”

The earl, dressed in military uniform, fell silent for a moment.

A figure who has earned hundreds of thousands of gold coins and millions of gold coins in a few months has left the class of ordinary merchants, and the Auguste Empire respects the strong, and has such ability in the business field, which must not be underestimated.

Thinking silently, the Earl of Rong took a sip: "This kind of guy who aids and abuses, even if he can make money, he will not achieve anything, and he will only cause chaos in the empire!"

"Don't talk about it, he has the strength of the golden level, and he has also studied in the different planes. ”

"Hey, he's actually a golden powerhouse?"

If it weren't for Lanton's strength, even if a businessman from the north became a big celebrity around the emperor, the nobles of the imperial capital would have ten thousand ways to deal with him!

It's because he is afraid of his gold-level strength.

The nobles who were greedy for money and stubbornly defended their rights did not dare to do anything against him.

Just talking behind your back.

This restaurant is invested by Lanton, the chef makes all the dishes from the recipes he provides, and the waiters inside are ninety percent of the agents specially trained by the royal family, responsible for collecting information about the visitors.

After Lanton leaves, the nobles' discussions are recorded.

Step out of the restaurant and stroll through the lively streets, as it is an area where the aristocracy and the rich live, the chaos has not affected here.

As a gold-level powerhouse, he has mastered the fighting spirit, his physique is extremely strong, and he also has spiritual power, even if Lan Dun has restrained his sense of hearing.

Before leaving the restaurant, I also heard the words of those nobles.

Such nonsense.

I've listened to a lot lately.

Leaving the aristocratic activity area with soldier handles at the corner of the street, the imperial capital is now full of mourning, and the imperial territory, the central, southern, eastern, and western regions are all affected by the "power war" between the emperor and the nobles.

Countless people have been left homeless and turned into refugees.

Originally, the aristocracy could still be suppressed.

But the secret agents under the emperor's command were not vegetarians, and a large number of refugees could not be hidden, so after getting the news, they opened a warehouse to release grain, reorganize the place, and collect refugees.

The policy is good, but people can use such means as yang and yin violations.

And so it got worse and worse.

Because the repressive local army regained control of the official routes, goods could be shipped out, and tens of millions of financial revenues were obtained, and the emperor also chose to follow Langton's advice and recruit refugees with food and gold coins.

Build more profitable factories on the outskirts of the imperial capital.

However.

The emperor expelled a large number of noble officials.

Newly recruited civilian officers......

It is very easy to be corrupted by money, status, power, beautiful women, and so on.

The nobles easily found a way to deal with them, and then turned Langton's idea into a more ferocious exploitation and oppression, and through spies to find out those rat droppings, and publicly hanged them again and again.

There is no way to recover the reputational and financial losses.

So much so that now refugees could not trust the emperor and officials.

I don't believe in cash-for-work.

It would cost hundreds of thousands of gold coins to feed the refugees who were unwilling to work again and stayed in the emperor.

Even so.

It was also difficult for him to make a reputation for charity.

Because it's disgusting that ......

Those refugees eat you, drink you, and in the end hate you!

And Emperor Adams August.

Not a patient person.

After the hanging of more than a dozen civilian-born officials, the opportunity to build a factory was also put on hold, because in addition to the corruption of civilian officials as management, refugees as laborers also made trouble for three days.

Constantly exacerbating the chaos!

The emperor was eager to address the chaos at its roots.

But he ......

There is not a single trustworthy and highly capable subordinate available!

Martin Burns is actually very capable.

But he's from the South.

Noble origin.

Emperor Adams August could not be trusted because of this!

Imperial.

It's getting more and more chaotic these days!

All...

It's all in the plans!

Returning to the emperor's mansion in the imperial capital, Langton began to deal with the endless affairs of the Chamber of Commerce again, and on the other side of Rock Island, he controlled the ontology of all the clones, and had sorted out the knowledge he had learned so far.

Take a break in the busy.

Lanton walked to the balcony of the castle in the mountains.

Look up at the silver moon in the night sky.

sighed with emotion: "More than three years have passed unconsciously." ”

"Time flies. ”

He took a bottle of wine from the pocket where the Traceless Stretching Charm was applied to his body, took a few sips, and heard footsteps behind him.

"Joan, why are you here?"

Then he took out a bottle of red wine from his pocket and asked, "Would you like some?"

Joan Mun: "No, Crown Ares, let me tell you, he's also qualified to enter the Alien Plane.

But with your plan, he can't help, because he wants to avoid suspicion. ”

Langton: "Is that so......"

"I see. ”

After nodding, Langton, who often comes into contact with villains, suddenly feels more and more like a super boss hiding behind the scenes.

After all, the people under him are all villains......

Conspiracy is still being carried out......

Joan Mun: "Also, Crown Loki wants me to tell you that he doesn't think your handouts to the refugees will do any good, and will attract the attention of the nobles.

It was even used by the nobles to drive a wedge between you and the emperor. ”

Langton frowned, "I see." ”

There is only a relationship of interest with the emperor.

Since he wanted to play the role of a dedicated businessman and pay for the relief of refugees, of course he would only do it with his consent.

I'm not afraid of any discord at all, and I'm even happy to do so.

It's so clean after all.

Instead, it will cause some unnecessary trouble!

Because.

Emperors are suspicious!

Do not take the initiative or inadvertently leave some handles and stains, do not reveal the compassion and kindness that some people should have, and blindly show good qualities such as ability and loyalty.

I'm afraid the Emperor will still think that Langton is not trustworthy.

The human heart is complicated!

Joan Muen hasn't left yet.

There was a look of hesitation on his face, and he said for a long time: "When we inquired about the situation and instigated the alliance of the small nobles from all over the country, we were discovered by the emperor's secret agents. ”

"Huh?" Langton's expression immediately changed.

Seeing this, Joan Muon hurriedly said, "But we have already killed that spy.

And cleaned up all traces. ”

"That's ......"

Langton didn't blame, after all, everyone makes mistakes sometimes.

But!

It reminded him of a law!

"Are you sure you've cleaned up all the traces?"

Joan Munn nodded, "Sure." ”

Langton: "Do you know those spies, and all their secret words, secret markers?"

"This," Joan shook her head, "no." ”

Lanton smiled bitterly, "Okay, I see. ”

This situation is not too good, after all, in many films and televisions, the villain's conspiracy was revealed, and it started when it was discovered by some people, and then solved it casually, cleaning up the traces, but leaving imperceptible hints, evidence or last words.

Although Joan repeatedly assured that the traces had been completely cleaned up.

But he always believed.

That spy will leave a clue!

Even if not.

There will be more and more discoveries in the future.

Because, they are villains.

There is a law of defeat!

If you're not careful, you'll pay for it!

Joan Munn: They can not be noticed.

But you have to be cautious.

Be more cautious.

Do a lot of preparation at the same time!

Closing his eyes, Langton focused all his attention on the Book of Summoning in his mind, then flipped through the pages of the summoned villains, and then looked at the blank pages where the text was faintly visible.

As their strength increases, the gods of Cthulhu seem to have regained some connection with themselves.

Not much, but through the perception of the soul.

to understand their power.

And itself.

The control of various energies has also reached a balance, which can be perfectly coordinated with bloodlines, talents, and abilities.

For mages, the essence of magic is the use of various energies.

Fire, frost, thunder, wind, earth, curses, psychedelics, and more are all controlled through magic.

For warriors, the essence of combat is to use all attacks.

And mastering your own power is the premise.

Demon martial arts Qi cultivation is of great help to Langton to improve his strength.

and even ......

He has blazed a path of his own!

......

......

Back to the Imperial Capital.

The morning sun rises in every house in the city with cooking smoke, and the thriving streets become bustling again, allowing people to start their day fresh.

Today is also an important day for the empire to usher in a new future!

Because the emperor ordered the establishment of the academy.

Start school today!

Regardless of whether it is high or low, regardless of whether it is high or low, all children over the age of eight and under the age of sixteen are enrolled as students!

There is funding from the Royal Chamber of Commerce and the Lanton Chamber of Commerce.

Students are also not required to submit any tuition fees.

Teach kids for free!

And.

Emperor Adams August, who had not left the palace for more than a decade and was known to everyone as the faint king, also walked out of the palace where he lived today.

Visit the college and watch the admissions ceremony by the way!

An academy capable of training talents.

Undoubtedly a place that can carry the future of the empire!

How could Emperor Adams not care?

But.

Whether to teach knowledge to the commoners, or to train talents for the future of the empire, the nobles simply could not receive.

Because of this.

It's to dig up their roots!

If commoners can master the same knowledge as the nobles, and even learn to exercise the Fa, they will become transcendent and become no longer ignorant.

How will they rule the territory in the future?

How do you maintain a high position?

Adams August......

Sure enough, he was determined to take away the rights and fiefs of all nobles!

Don't give them a way to live!

The academy announced to the whole country that it would only recruit civilians, not nobles, and would teach extraordinary exercises, and the nobles who got the news to join in the fun were not like the admissions ceremony, and left one by one with gloomy expressions.

For the emperor who swore allegiance to all nobles.

No more resentment and resentment!

The imperial capital of chaos.

Also from a powder keg that was wet.

Dry again.。

Fry that kind of thing at one point!

...... To be continued......
