"Liuba, if you are not the lord of Baiou Harbor, I really hope that you can always be by my side and help me run the Southern Province as prosperous and powerful as Baiou Harbor. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" Roland stared into Lyubov's eyes and replied solemnly.

Lyubov was pleased with his attitude.

No matter how much Roland emphasizes cooperation and downplays ambiguity, she can confidently assume that the other party is looking forward to her tryst as a lover. Not long ago on the "Sea Palace", her advice to Lyudmila also reminded herself: some people, some things, once missed, will regret for life, why not be brave and take the initiative?

"In fact, it is impossible for a city-state to rely only on the personal authority of the lord to achieve benign rule, even if the ability is outstanding, there is no energy to do everything, the key is to establish a set of officials who can select and appoint talents, some people may think that military officers are more efficient in governing the country, but I insist that the civilian system is the foundation of social stability, you have to think about this issue clearly."

Lyubov took Roland's arm and snuggled up to this tall and strong young man along the avenue leading to Geert's Palace, the sunset stained the beautiful cheeks of the Red Sea Elf Queen, and spoke softly like an older sister telling her younger brother, and like a gentle and intelligent wife guiding her husband's career.

"As for myself, to tell the truth, even if I leave for a while, the government system will still work, the sky will not fall in Baigull Harbor, I hope that one day the power of the lord will be dispersed to the level of government agencies from the top down, like a pyramid, and I myself will be happy to play the role of a public servant who has no real power, but only symbolizes the glory of the city-state, and is focused on serving the church of Sechela, so that I can easily and the city will be free from the devastating risk of the infinite expansion of the monarch's personal ambitions."

"Look at you, you're starting to be delusional again." Roland glanced at her in disgust.

Old man Samuel Huntington once said this embarrassing and heart-wrenching remark: The first problem is not liberty, but the establishment of a legitimate public order; Of course, man can have order and not be free, but he cannot be free and not orderly; Authority must exist before it can be restricted.

"The ruler can't give what he didn't have, that's not noble, it's delusional, the governance model you envision is too far from reality, and what you need to do now is not to decentralize power, but to concentrate the power of the Bend League in your own hands as much as possible, and then you can mobilize all resources and unite all forces to do great things."

"This is not a contradiction, only by first grasping power can we use power prudently, I rushed back to join the Alliance Council this time to build a joint fleet and completely destroy the Giant Demon Island." Lyubov took out his pocket watch and glanced at it, "It's time for the meeting, but it's okay, it's not bad for their health to let those guys with evil intentions suffer for a few more minutes, what are your plans next?" ”

"Let's go to the airship factory first and see how the new aerial bomb is modified, Sukhoi and Molozov have high hopes for it, and I also expect that the new bomb can come in handy in the next battle to seize the island," Roland thought for a moment, and then said, "Then I plan to go to the trade fair and give Katya and the two children a bonus, they have worked hard for the past two days." ”

"Haha, Katya sent me a letter saying that a 'perfect robbery' had just been completed, and we don't have to worry about money for the time being."

"So you should celebrate, are you free for the evening?"

"If you're willing to invite me alone, you'll be free." Lyubov blinked, his smile revealing a little shyness.

Roland couldn't help but laugh, "You're naughty, okay...... I had to give more bonuses to make up for Katya and them, in fact, it's okay to date alone, there are some things to say to you, and others can't hear them well. ”

Lyubov sighed, turned around and interlocked his fingers, and looked deeply into his eyes: "I guess it's definitely not a love story, tell me now, in case it's bad news, it's better to be mentally prepared." ”

"Then I won't go around in circles, Liuba, I need to establish a foothold in the North Bay, this land does not need to be too big, but the geographical environment is critical, its territory and resources are enough to undertake the three functions of trade, anchorage and military station, and preferably the military industry and shipbuilding base, with this territory I can convince my father to pay attention to the sea routes, and ensure that the Southern Army echoes the northern anchorage."

Lyubov nodded, "I understand, you need the Giant Demon Island, the White Gull Harbor can give you everything, but not the homeland, you have to become the master of the ruling side yourself, not just a close friend of the Lord of the White Oull Harbor." ”

Roland scratched his head in embarrassment, "I'm sorry......"

Lyubov looked up and smiled, "Why apologize?" You're absolutely right! ”

"However, there is a possibility that this may conflict with your interests, which is not what I want to see."

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even be able to keep the White Gull Harbor, so what else would I talk about annexing the Giant Demon Island?" The Sea Elf's Storm Lord's eyes burned, and he clasped his hand and said solemnly, "I like your ambition, if I can, I want to be an important puzzle piece of your ambition, our common cause, right?" ”

"Of course, this is also our common cause!" Roland couldn't help but be moved to embrace her into his arms, feeling the soft, smooth and energetic carcass in his arms, as if conquering an ice peak that reaches straight into the clouds and makes people tremble at a glance from afar, and plucking the lonely and holy snow lotus on the top of the glacier, and suddenly rising an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

Lyubov rubbed her cheek against his chest, like a happy kitten, and let out a sultry murmur.

"I suddenly don't want to go to the meeting, can I let Katya go on my behalf?"

"Don't even think about it!" Roland used all his willpower to force himself to remove the arm of the little woman in his arms, "We will discuss the details of dividing the Giant Demon Island in the evening, and I promise not to let you suffer, but now you have to go to the meeting obediently, and I have to go to other things." ”

"It's really ruthless~" Liu Bofu glanced at him with disgust, pulled away the scarf and pointed to his cheek.

Roland smiled knowingly, walked over to hold the lord's lady's round fragrant shoulders, and kissed her gently on the delicate smile like a hibiscus.

"It's like I've been beaten up, and suddenly I'm full of energy!" Lyubov's eyes widened in surprise and surprise.

Roland smiled dumbly, picked up her red cheek and kissed it again, "Go ahead, my 'little steam engine', and crush all the state councillors at full speed!" ”

"Look at what you said, the council also has my supporters!" Lyubov kissed him back with a shy, turned his back to him and waved his pink fist domineeringly, like a general on a journey, striding up the stairs to Geert's Palace.
