"Pilot?" The old fox Taylor seemed to have figured out something, his eyes stared at Clifford, and he said with a hint of anticipation in his tone: "What pilot?" Where do you think it's better to do a pilot? ”

Collie leaned his head over and said very mysteriously but with great firmness: "Of course, the three counties of the North. The power of these three counties in the entire Rhine Kingdom is relatively blank, and I think the king also wants to strengthen his control and development here, so as to strengthen his own power. In addition, the three northern counties are very close to the royal capital Vienna, and after the Saint-Cyr Pass, the development of this place can be used as their own backing, which can be attacked and defended, greatly strengthening the power of the royal family. ”

The old fox Taylor not only nodded slightly, he became more and more unable to see through Clifford, this guy used to be notoriously mediocre, how did he become full of tricks today, he knew that the idea of developing the three northern counties The king will definitely agree, in addition to the reasons that Clifford said, there is also the Rhine Kingdom is now in internal and external troubles, the king will definitely agree to develop the three northern counties as his own backing, the key to the problem is, how to use this as his own advancement? took a bite of the food, put it in his mouth, and said lightly: "Then you should tell me, how should our Rhine Kingdom develop these three northern counties?" ”

The most important part of this dialogue is coming, which is also what Clifford has deduced countless times before, to make sure that there is no problem, and it will definitely impress the old fox Taylor, and said: "The current three counties in the north are in their own affairs, and all of them are managed by military institutions such as the General's Palace, and there is no civilian organization, which is greatly detrimental to the development of the local area. Since it is a military organization, they must give priority to the military in doing things, and will not give priority to local development and construction, which is not conducive to the development of the three counties in the north. According to the students' point of view, a civil agency headed by the governor should be set up to lead the overall situation of the three northern counties, and then make overall arrangements for the construction situation, so that the three northern counties can be planned as a whole from the overall situation, and the strength of the three northern counties should be rapidly improved. And it can be used as a pilot, and after success, it can be silenced by those governors who oppose the reform, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone, and I think the king will definitely agree. ”

"Governor of the North." The old fox Taylor nodded thoughtfully, his mouth repeated these words, he has seen where the ladder of his progress is, it is this governor of the north, Clifford is right, according to the current situation, the king must urgently need to develop the three counties in the north that are still in the hands of the central government to strengthen his strength, and Clifford's development plan is undoubtedly the best plan, the king has no reason not to accept it, but the key to the question is, how can he get this position? This is definitely a rare opportunity for his career, if he grasps it well, he will become a pivotal figure in the kingdom, he can be on a par with his old friend Pol, and after that, he will never have to live in his shadow again, which is undoubtedly a pleasant thing, at this time, he has already regarded Clifford as his own person, and he no longer speaks in a cloudy fog, and begins to say straight to the point: "What do you mean by saying that I can be the governor of the north?" ”

"Absolutely." Clifford said categorically: "Teacher, your character and ability are obvious to all, and you are loyal to the king. The king has placed his trust in you, and you are fully qualified to serve as the governor of the North. ”

"Really?" The old fox Taylor smiled heartily, his beard was cocked, and he was very proud, and said, "But the king trusts many people, why do you have to be me?" Besides, if this position is established, the second prince will definitely strive for it, I am only friends with Pol, not their descendants, I am afraid that it will not be my turn to do this position. ”

If this position can be easily obtained by you, then how can it reflect my role, and how can I get benefits in this matter, Clifford has already had a comprehensive plan for this, smiled and patted his ass, and said: "The teacher is really far-sighted. Yes, the king wants to take the financial and military power of the whole country into his own hands, and the biggest obstacle is from your friend Bohr, the governor of Vienna, whose new central army of the Rhine Kingdom has been trained by him, and the seven legions, the army of nearly 100,000 people, have a deep relationship with him, and he must be reluctant to hand them over. In the end, I think King Frederick VII will definitely use his deputy, Gates, to contain him, and coax him to hand over his military power. In this way, in order not to provoke the Bol and the Second Prince's Party too much, the King would certainly give in to them when it came to the Governors of the Three Northern Counties, and choose a member of the Second Prince's Party to serve as the Governor. ”

"You're right." Taylor said a little sadly: "Although I am friends with Pol, I am not a descendant of the second prince, and I have a good relationship with the eldest prince, he knows this, so he will definitely not nominate me to serve it, you just said that you want to give me congratulations, I'm afraid it was an exaggeration." ”

Collie was very proud in his heart, it turned out that he hadn't figured out the key to this, and it seemed that he could only rely on himself, a traverser, to answer him, and said with a smile: "What the teacher said is very right, but the teacher is not hopeless in this matter, on the contrary, your chances of winning are very high." You can't be the first candidate for the Governor of the North, but you can elect the first candidate and be his deputy. ”

"Do you mean ......" Taylor was worthy of an old fox, a little penetrating, and a burning gaze radiated from his eyes, as if he saw the fat and oily position of Governor of the North beckoning to him again.

"Yes." Clifford took the lead and said categorically: "You can recommend Prime Minister Anthony's son Alpha as the governor of the north." Anthony is the uncle of the second prince, and his son is naturally a member of the hardcore second prince's party, and if he is promoted, the second prince's party will definitely agree, and it is logical for you, the person who makes suggestions, to be a deputy, and the deputy is only, and it will not cause strong opposition from people. However, you should know that the eldest prince will definitely not let the second prince's people become the governor of the north smoothly, and they will definitely oppose it. And Anthony's son Alpha is a typical gentleman, he can be said to be a mess, if you want to find his handle is not difficult at all, when he is done, can't you, the deputy who can accept both sides, take his place naturally? ”
