If a person is sincerely making amends, we should thank and congratulate him for that, and we should not dig up the scars of his past, which gentlemanly manners require us to do.

On the night of the happy conversation with Prince GLP, Bai Feng stayed in the Duke of Yulin's Mansion next door to the Grand Governor's Mansion, which had not yet been fully built, and it was said that it cost Prince GLP a full 1 million gold coins, which was a shocking amount in the imperial capital.

However, compared to the extravagance of Prince GLP spending 30 million gold coins to build the Governor's Mansion, the construction cost of the Duke of Yulin's Mansion is simply not worth mentioning;

Less than half an hour after Bai Feng led his guards to stay in the Duke of Yulin's palace, he ushered in the first wave of guests tonight, that is, the four major officials of Brojansson Province who were personally appointed by Bai Feng: Military Officer Moritz, Secretary Heinrich, Civil Affairs Officer Hess, and Financial Officer Shalach.

After seeing these four people in the study of the Duke's Palace, without waiting for them to open their mouths to report the situation, Bai Feng went straight to the point and said: "Moritz and Shalah, after my discussion with Prince Pros, the two of you will serve as the military minister and finance minister of the Grand Governor's Mansion respectively. ”

"I am the Minister of Military Affairs?" (I am the Minister of Finance?)" exclaimed Moritz and Shalah, as if they had been rehearsed in advance, while Heinrich and Hess, who were not named, inevitably showed disappointment and envy.

"Could it be that I will still lie to you?" In front of his cronies, Bai Feng's tone in a relaxed mood became brisk: "This is a joint decision between me and Prince GLP, except for you, the internal minister is Abraham, and the judicial minister is Yadonis." ”

"Isn't that our people occupying three of the four major governors of the Grand Governor's Mansion?" Shalah said with a twinkle in his eyes: "General, this is a great thing for us! At the very least, our forces in the eastern provinces will not be affected by the forces of Prince Pros. ”

Not necessarily. Heinrich, who has always been valued by Bai Feng for his calmness, analyzed quite calmly: "The four major ministers of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion are only nominal high-ranking officials of the Metropolitan Prefecture after all; what really determines the power of the Metropolitan Governor's Office is whether the division of rights and interests between our two sides is reasonable. ”

"Yes, Heinrich said exactly what I wanted to tell you. After retracting his appreciative gaze, Bai Feng spoke: "According to the division between me and Prince GLP, the provinces of Brojansson and Grenoble will be in the sphere of influence of Prince GLP in the future. ”

"The three provinces of Montain, Lyon, and Toulon, which belong to our sphere of influence, are where we are fundamental, so the two of you who remain in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion must safeguard our interests in the sphere of influence of Prince GLP on the one hand, and coordinate our relationship with Prince GLP's forces on the other. ”

Facing Bai Feng's encouraging eyes, Moritz and Shalah, who had not changed their military background, immediately stood up and said in unison: "The last general will do his best to live up to the general's trust!"

"I'm sure you won't let me down!" After smiling and nodding to signal them to sit down, Bai Feng said to Heinrich and Hess: "Don't be disappointed both of you, after you go to Mengdan Province with me, you will become the secretary and civil officer in charge of the affairs of the three provinces. ”

Heinrich and Hess, who were so sudden, were overjoyed and said, "We should do our best to live up to the heavy responsibilities on our shoulders!"

At this moment, Moritz and Shalah, who were still excited about their sudden rise to a high position, envied Heinrich and Hess, and they all knew that staying by Bai Feng's side would have many more development opportunities than staying by Prince GLP's side.

It's a pity that no matter what kind of yearning and envy they have in their hearts, under the premise that Bai Feng has already made a decision, all they can do is unconditional obedience;

Born in an ordinary civilian family, they knew that if it weren't for Bai Feng's exceptional promotion and reuse, they would have been just small soldiers charging on the battlefield all their lives;

It was Bai Feng who gave them a noble identity and prominent status, as well as a comfortable life without worrying about food and clothing, they who knew more about Entu than the nobles, and what they dedicated to Bai Feng was their unswerving loyalty to death;

After explaining to Moritz and Shalah about the principles of getting along with Count Yadonis, the judicial capital, and learning that the second wave of guests had arrived, Bai Feng, asked Moritz and the other four to go back tonight, and each of them was ready to take office and leave.

As soon as Moritz and the other four left the study, Bai Yi walked into the study with Earl Abraham and Knight Woodlaw on the back foot;

Because before Bai Feng left the Grand Governor's Mansion, the Prince of Pros intended to send someone to announce the appointment to Count Abraham, and Bai Feng had no objection to this;

Sure enough, before the buttocks of Moritz and the others were hot, Count Abraham came over there, and Knight Woodlow, who had a close relationship with Count Abraham and was inseparable, naturally accompanied Count Abraham as a matter of course.

As soon as he saw Bai Feng, who was sitting behind the bookcase with an expressionless face, Earl Abraham and Knight Woodlow, who hurried to the newly built Duke of Yulin's mansion, bowed respectfully and saluted: "Abraham (Woodlow), I have seen His Excellency the Duke." ”

"Earl Abraham, Knight Woodlaw, long time no see. Looking at the two of them with respectful expressions, Bai Feng said with a smile on his face: "I don't know how your noble alliance and knight order are running their own business?"

"Your Excellency Duke Qiqi, our Eastern Knights Order has 1,500 knights worthy of a battle, ready to serve you at any time!"

"Your Excellency, the more than 1,100 nobles of our Eastern Noble Alliance are your most loyal followers, and we only need your order, even if we give up our lives for you, we will not hesitate to do so!"

"Count Abraham, I promised to recommend you as governor of the province of Brojansson before I led my army out of the Empire, but I hope you will not be upset because of the lack of response from the imperial capital. ”

In the face of Bai Feng's kind explanation, Count Abraham said with a little sincerity: "Your Excellency, I have engraved your kindness in my heart;

"It's right that you can have this mentality, but you don't have to be presumptuous, because no one is born a governor. At this point, Bai Feng turned his head and said, "Knight Woodlaw, I am very satisfied with the development of your Eastern Knights, are you willing to follow me to Mengdan Province?"

Hearing Bai Feng's invitation to him, Knight Woodlow, who suddenly became excited, immediately stood up excitedly and said loudly: "Being able to follow in the footsteps of the Feather Forest God of War is the greatest honor for each of our imperial knights!"
