Chapter 329: Peace and Sincerity (9)

After Sheila left, the Patriarch's secretary asked the Patriarch, "In which diocese do you want to raise scholarships?" ”

"All parishes." The Patriarch replied indifferently.

"All parishes?" The archbishop, who was the secretary, was a little surprised. Sheila simply wanted to raise a scholarship for the medical school in Constantinople, and the Patriarch took advantage of the opportunity to such an extent. He really deserves to be the Patriarch. Perhaps it was because of Patriarch Sheila's pregnancy, and the archbishop remembered that his mistress was also very stupid when she was pregnant, and if Patriarch Sheila maintained the shrewdness she had when she was a girl, she could get more by asking for something else.

Sheila didn't know that people were thinking of her, and if she knew, she might agree. Running a medical school this time was a project that Sheila would care about very much in the past, but this time she just wanted to get it done as soon as possible. There is something indescribable that drives Sheila to prepare for the birth of her child, a safe home, a convenient life, all of which require a lot of thought. Sheila also didn't want to completely fake others, which made her feel uneasy.

Even so, Sheila had to take time out to cope with work. I thought that after the harvest festival, the nobles and landlords from all walks of life would join agricultural production according to the channels that had been determined, but I didn't expect the eastern nobles to come to sue one after another, saying that Su Lun had cheated them. Sheila didn't believe that Suren would do such a thing, with Suren's personality, he didn't get cheated by others, even if he learned to protect himself. But the three of them became tigers, and these eastern nobles cried that their incomes were decreasing, and various letters from the east also made Sheila decide to go to the east with her pregnant belly.

The east is her base, and once she has a baby, Sheila doesn't think she will go to the east for at least a year or two. At that time, the contradictions will surely intensify completely. Patrick also accompanied Sheila on his way, not believing the doctor's claims at the office hospital. The doctors said Sheila was allowed to travel as long as she didn't shake violently. This is a sycophant, and it is clear that Sheila has to go to the east to say so.

The ship sailed fairly smoothly, and when it arrived at the port, the nobles were already waiting. Sheila was still willing to run around when she was pregnant, and they should have taken this path. The object of criticism has also arrived, Sheila sits on the throne, and the nobles immediately begin to accuse Suren of his crimes.

After a few years of planting pumpkins and sweet potatoes, the land became very poor, and in addition to the decline in the yield of sweet potatoes and pumpkins, the yields of switching to other crops were also very low......

After hearing such an accusation, Sheila just wanted to go up and slap the mouths of these nobles. She had the impression that Su Lun had a meeting with the people of the provincial agricultural company who had specifically talked about this matter, telling the nobles not to simply look at the interests of planting sweet potatoes and pumpkins, and that the future restoration of the land would require several years of careful care, and the advance expenditure would definitely be demanded in the future.

Although Sheila felt that her expression was very unkind, the nobles still made a shy face and made a big fuss, accusing Su Lun of cheating everyone. After the first few shouts, the latter may have seen Sheila's expression, so they added a new statement to this statement.

"Suren had said something before, but he didn't tell us how much it would be lowered. We thought it would be two or three percent at most. I didn't expect it to decrease so much! Your Excellency Sheila, we have suffered a great loss! ”

Sheila couldn't help it either, she asked, "How much has it decreased?" ”

"Now the yield of wheat per mu is only 95 catties. That's a 60% reduction! The nobles said bitterly.

Sheila thought about it, then simply picked up the pen and counted on the book spread out in front of her, and said suspiciously: "What you said is not right." The yield per mu is 120 catties of wheat, which is reduced to 95 catties, which is almost thirty percent. How can it be sixty percent? ”

The nobles looked at Sheila in amazement, and their faces became more and more red because of excitement, and one of them was so anxious that even his nose was red and shouted: "Your Excellency, it has been reduced from 220 catties to 95 catties, isn't it a decrease of sixty percent!" ”

"Huh." Sheila chuckled dryly, she didn't know what she was going to say to make the guys understand. But Sheila suspects that these guys are here to make trouble. After thinking about it, Sheila decided to respond to the changes with no change, and first see how the nobles reacted, and she said: "When did your wheat yield 220 catties per mu?" Before planting sweet potatoes and pumpkins, your yield per mu was at most 120 catties. Am I mistaken? ”

"Your Excellency, that's not right!" The nose of the red nose is even more red, turning red, "Now wheat can yield 220 catties per mu, and those who cooperate with agricultural companies can yield 220 catties per mu." Our yield per mu is only 95 catties, and we are doing it according to the requirements of the agricultural company! Didn't dare to change the method at all. ”

After hearing this, Sheila only felt that these guys were making trouble unreasonably, but they were quite similar to the senators. As long as the benefits do not meet their expectations, the blame should be placed on others. This time it was pushed on Su Lun's head, probably because Su Lun had the ability to bear such a huge loss. After battling the patriarchs for years, Sheila knew exactly what to do, and she wouldn't let the scum get her way no matter what. Suren is Sheila's man, and Sheila must protect Suren.

Unexpectedly, Su Lun actually spoke, "Your land can be planted with other crops first to slow down, I have already told ...... about this matter."

Sheila slapped the table, "Suren, shut up for me!" Now is not the time for you to speak. ”

Drinking the stupidity of Suren, a good old man, Sheila continued to ask: "I know about this matter, and what else, tell me about it!" ”

The red nose hurriedly shouted: "This matter is solved first!" ”

"There's one more thing I want to know right now!" Sheila lowered her face and shouted.

When these nobles saw that Sheila was really angry, they didn't dare to make a mistake. So someone said, "Suren is not righteous, and many of our farmers are injured when they are mining and cannot work." ”

"Be more detailed!" Sheila was concerned about the matter. The decline in land fertility only involves the nobles in the east, and Sheila has a big deal to scold these nobles, beat their arrogance, and then find a way to solve it. The mining business involves Sheila's own business, which accounts for more than half of Sheila's current income in ore trading. This is Sheila's cash cow, and it has to be properly addressed no matter what. Sheila bought a street in the Golden Horn and borrowed a large sum of money from Europa's bank. If something goes wrong with this business, Sheila won't have a good time in the future.

The nobleman said loudly: "The peasants are so tired of mining that they have injured their waists, and not only can they not dig the mines, but they also can't do farm work. There are big losses on our side. Su Lun's subordinates don't have such a problem, we respect him so much, but he actually cheated us. We are not convinced! ”

Sheila listened attentively, and Patrick, who was sitting next to her, couldn't take it anymore, he got up and went to the window, took out a stainless steel cigarette case, smoked one, lit it, and smoked it out of the window. This kind of thing is actually blamed on Suren, and Patrick only thinks that these nobles are simply unreasonable. The eastern aristocracy is really like the impression of the western aristocracy, a bunch of unreasonable barbarians. Suren was just a distant cousin-in-law of Patrick, and he had already admired all the nobles in the manor with the Baldon family as the core for a year or two.

Although the western nobles all felt that Su Lun's personality was too good, it was a bit easy to bully. But the Baldens would not allow Suren to be bullied by those nobles, and those western nobles did not have the guts. What they need is Su Lun's technical knowledge and experience, and Su Lun's 'easy bully' is precisely because he never hides himself in this area. Judging from the accusations that have been made, Su Lun did not hide his secrets in the east, and he also gave everyone a warning when it was time to warn, such a person was actually accused like this in the east, and the eastern nobles were too much!

While smoking, the eastern nobles were still talking about Suren's 'crime', and the more Patrick listened, the more angry he became, he threw the cigarette butt out the window, and he looked back at Sheila. I saw that Sheila still looked serious, quietly listening to the nonsense of these nobles.

After waiting for these bastards to finish speaking, Sheila spoke, "If I heard me correctly, you seem to have suffered a great loss. I ask you, how much has your debt repayment plan been affected? ”

Patrick didn't expect his wife to care about the 'losses' of the nobles at this time, and the reason for these losses was not the misdeeds of the nobles themselves! Does my wife still think that these nobles have a reason?

"Your Excellency, we can't get this year's loan yet!" The nobles wailed.

"If we can't repay this year's loan, the Constantinople money bank will let us find out the problem, otherwise it will not give us a new loan. We are still waiting for the loan, and if we don't give us money, how can we support it! ”

"Your Excellency, you have to help us! We are all supporting you as a veteran! Supported both times! If we are being collected for debts, we will not be able to support you! ”

The pleas were mixed with threats, and Patrick's brow furrowed. He is already preparing to take over the position of veteran of his wife Sheila, after all, his wife has to take care of the child after giving birth, and most of this term of office cannot be completed. And this patriarchal position is of great significance to the current Balden-Crecius family alliance, in addition to the fact that both families believe that Patrick should take on this responsibility, the Western Noble Alliance has also expressed support for Patrick to take over the position of veteran.

Because of the constituency, Patrick could only go to Ankara to participate in the by-election. Before, he thought that the nobles of the Ankara constituency supported his wife Sheila so much, and they should be a group of reasonable people, but he didn't expect that these people were easterners after all, and the barbarism of the easterners was comparable to those barbarians faced by the Western Military District.

…… Should I consider contacting the Legion and asking the Legion to come forward and support it? Or...... I wonder if the Senator election can be in the constituency on the side of the Western Baldens?

Just as Patrick's mind was full of all kinds of cranky thoughts, he heard Sheila speak, "I already have an idea about this matter, let's not talk about your losses for now...... Uh......" At this, Sheila moved her body with great effort, which was quite pregnant. Patrick hurried over to help Sheila sit more comfortably. Sheila changed her sitting position a few times, and simply stood up with Patrick's support, she stood firmly on the table with her hands, and said loudly: "I am going to set up an Ankara bank, I thought that this matter would be more troublesome, and I want to talk about it after giving birth." Looking at it now, the establishment of Ankara Money Bank is more helpful to everyone, although Constantinople Money Bank is good, but after all, it is a money bank headquartered in Constantinople, they have to listen to Constantinople's orders when thinking about things, considering that our local ones are relatively small, and they are not intimate enough to us. ”

"That's right!" "Your Excellency is right, they don't care how much we have suffered, they just want to force us to pay back!" "Your Excellency, you must call the shots for us! We didn't mean to owe money, we really caused the disaster! ”

Patrick was a little stunned when he heard this, and he suddenly realized that he might have underestimated the eastern aristocracy, these guys looked poor and talked far from gentle, but these guys had a cunning that Patrick hadn't noticed before. If it weren't for his wife Sheila's answer to these guys, Patrick would have thought that these guys were going to do something to Suren.

With Sheila's words, what the gang is saying now should be their true words. Because of all kinds of problems, these guys can't pay back. So they wanted to put pressure on Sheila by attacking Suren. Thinking of this, Patrick's feelings about the eastern aristocracy were even worse, barbarism alone was already very annoying, and savagery was at the same time as such cunning, that is, very tricky guys. I don't know what happened when I was eaten by them!

"The establishment of a money bank needs to be decided by the court of Constantinople, not that it can be established if it is established. If you want to build a bank, you need money, and you have to save all your money in a new bank. In addition, I will have to go back to Constantinople and the Constantinople money house to negotiate with the Europa money bank and transfer these debts to the Ankara money bank in the future. Do you understand what that means? ”

"I don't understand!" The aristocrats shook their heads.

"That is to say, the newly built Ankara Bank will receive the debts you owe to the Constantinople Bank, and although you will not owe money to the Constantinople Bank or Europa Money in the future, the debts you owe will not be written off, and you will owe money to the future Ankara Bank! Let me tell you, none of you will want to write off this debt! ”

"I don't understand!" The aristocrats shook their heads.

"That is to say, the newly built Ankara Bank will receive the debts you owe to the Constantinople Bank, and although you will not owe money to the Constantinople Bank or Europa Money in the future, the debts you owe will not be written off, and you will owe money to the future Ankara Bank! Let me tell you, none of you will want to write off this debt! ”
