"Wait a minute, I'll arrange for Butler Craig to take you to pick up a package! Take it to Waterwater, find the exotic shop called 'Sail's House', and give it to the owner of the Oriental face. The Earl of Boreham stretched out his hand and pulled out a blank piece of paper from the text, "Although it is only about 1oo points of family contribution, it can be done by the way for you, and it will not take you much time." As for the rest, you can follow Steward Craig to the family's housekeeping secretary to see if there are any suitable family tasks that can be completed along the way. ”

"Thank you very much Lord Earl for your arrangement! In the next will never disappoint your expectations. Barrett once again slapped his hand on his chest to show his respect.

"These are all things that I can give you within the limits of the family rules." Earl Boreham winked at Barrett as he spoke, "There is no such thing as relying on his status to use any privileges to interfere with the normal operation of the family's existing system, is he?" ”

"That's just as well." Barrett was indeed a little speechless about the statement of the adult in front of him.

Earl Boreham's approach, although in the eyes of some, is to want to be a bitch and want to build a torii. But from another point of view, it is the wisdom of the rulers - in reality, the big men always like to keep those lawsuits, and it is for this reason that they are very happy.

As the head of the family, the existing rules and systems in the family are largely biased in favor of him. In this case, if he does not follow the rules of the system, then what will be in the minds of the more numerous side branches and distant relatives. Over time, it will inevitably affect the cohesion of the family. Therefore, his approach rarely actively violates the established rules of the family system.

But as long as you have been to the government department to do things, you know, even if you do it according to the rules. There are a lot of doorways in this. The Earl of Boreham was not able to contribute directly to the Barrett family. However, it is also possible to speed up the accumulation of Barrett's contribution by delegating tasks. Although in order to prevent giving people a handle. The mission from the Earl himself is only one. But if you can find some suitable quests along the way, it will not be a small reward for Barrett.

"If only you understood! The existing rules are not difficult to break, the expressly forbidden thunder pool will never be exceeded, and the rest can be done according to their ability. "It seems a little too early to tell you this," said the Earl of Boreham, "and so on. When you go through a little more of it, you will understand the key to this. ”

After hearing this, Barrett deliberately frowned: "Lord Earl, I do understand the meaning of your words. But isn't this encouraging family members to cheat? In the long run, it won't be good for the family's exhibition! ”

"I forgot that your old appearance is a little inconsistent with your age! That's right, if that's the case, it's not good for the family's exhibition. It's good that you're able to take that into account now. But Barrett, you forget what I said and do what you can. The Earl of Boreham, who had stopped talking, drew a quill pen and signed something on the paper in front of him. He didn't get it all through. It's as if I'm waiting for the juniors in front of me to comprehend it for themselves.

Barrett understood: "You are saying that only when you have reached a sufficient position, or the authority of the family, can you make changes under the existing system. ”

"Nope! We haven't made any changes, as long as we have enough authority, it's up to us to interpret the rules. Although the literal meaning cannot be violated, as long as the direction of interpretation changes, there can naturally be other solutions, right? The Earl of Boreham was very honest, and did not seem to feel that there was anything wrong with his words.

Is this what is called a judicial interpretation? Sure enough, the ruling class is all the way! But I always felt that something was wrong...... Barrett struggled for a moment and then asked tentatively: "Lord Earl, if I am not mistaken, is it that in terms of the promotion of authority, the method of explaining the rules in your mouth cannot be affected. ”

"Not bad! You've got the crux of it in no time. The rules in this regard are the most complete. It's not easy to get around. Of course, more importantly, the eldest member of the family is still alive and well. Although he is almost free now. But there are some red lines that cannot be crossed. Otherwise, the consequences are not something that we mortals are willing to bear. The Earl of Borem smiled with a smile that seemed satisfied.

Then he tossed the finished parchment, and the paper ticket fell lightly into Barrett's hand, and with a light grasp it fell into the palm of his hand. The whole throwing action is far less with one part of force, and less with one point of force is close.

Looking at the contents of the parchment in his hand, Barrett fell silent for a moment. It took him a long time before he came back to his senses: "The authority within the family comes from the individual's contribution to the family, and the authority is linked to the scope of use of the rules and regulations. In other words, can you only get the corresponding rights if you have made enough contributions to the family? What seemed to be an equal rule has divided the hierarchy of family members because of this? But I wonder if this is necessary? Wouldn't it be nice to use different levels to divide different permissions. Isn't it simpler to distinguish titles in the principalities? ”

"Do you think how many people in the family will take advantage of this power in their hands, even after they have reached the authority to be able to read the existing provisions?" A wry smile appeared on Earl Boreham's face.

Looking at the count's expression, it was connected to his words. Barrett suddenly remembered his memories from the closed beta. Then the last piece of the puzzle in my mind was finally found: "Do you mean that the high-ranking clan elders in the family are all a group of stone heads?" ”

"That's pretty much it! The ancestor in the mechanical realm had traveled to the East, and combined with the clan structure there to build the family system of the current Bolim family. Although the power of those clan elders is far inferior to that of their eastern counterparts, as long as they use the rules, they can still benefit their families in a certain way. Earl Boreham really sighed, "Although this will more or less affect some fairness within the family. But it's a trivial matter compared to familiarizing the strong men of that tribe with the trajectory of the conspiracy. Plus there is control. They can't go too far with it, even if they want to. It's just that it's not very effective. ”

Of course! One force will drop ten! As long as the strength is sufficient. Any conspiracy can be directly crushed in the past. You can count on those who are used to being crushed by violence. Playing with words for something? Barrett could fully understand what those people were thinking.

Even mages who are known for their wisdom are rarely adept at this kind of interaction that is bordering on court struggle. For them, it is faster and more effective to protect themselves from danger through guò prophecy spells. A variety of life-saving means give them a chance to make a comeback even if they are attacked.

The Earl of Boreham, who seemed to see through Barrett's thoughts, shook his head: "Although violence can solve many things, it is not the most effective method. Although those in the family are not easy to be calculated with their sensitive sixth sense, it is too difficult for them to calculate others. Sometimes it's like trying to get them to help me with more things. After all, although our Boreham Collar started with military merits, the biggest income now is good trade. If they were to negotiate with those chambers of commerce, they would break up unhappily. ”

"Why can't you use those merchants recruited by the family! If it's just an ordinary chamber of commerce, I think their identity should be enough. If it's just a big trading house, is it also busy with that medium-range dù? There was still a hint of skepticism in Barrett's words.

The Earl of Boreham complained incessantly as if he had found the object of the cat's release: "Do you think the largest port in the middle of the West Sea coast of the Big 6 is joking? We have enough cargo here for a day to supply most of the kingdom. Just a business reception that is difficult to refuse can be scheduled from the beginning of the month to the end of the month. The knights and spellcasters in the family always find excuses to shirk on these occasions. The result is all on me, the person in charge. ”

It was only then that Barrett realized his impression of trade in Boreham's territory. A large part of the dù is still stuck during the test. Despite the rumors circulating outside Guò, Barrett knew that trade was growing these days. But I never thought that this would have grown so much and so much. After hearing the Earl of Boreham's story today, he was really taken aback.

Barrett, who suddenly felt as if he was something, cautiously retorted, "Lord Earl!" How many other people besides me have the privilege of listening to you complain? ”

"Several elders in the family and almost all the rising stars listened to my complaints. But every one of those guys has always been willing to help me. The Earl of Boreham's helpless expression was definitely not pretending.

"Looks like I should feel honored." Barrett really didn't know what expression to use to face at this time. This strange situation is the first time he has encountered it, both in reality and in games. Although he always felt that the Earl of Boreham's expression should have some deep meaning, Barrett couldn't figure out what the key was for a while.

"That's it! I'm just picking you up to adjust your feelings. Some words have been held in my heart for a long time, and I am so panicked. Saying that, the Earl of Boreham's expression regained his previous solemnity, "Barrett, your mature expression still makes me more satisfied in a certain way. But there are some important flaws in your personality that seem to me to be. ”

"Flawed?" Barrett always felt that the Earl had said so much before, in order to seem like the meat scene in front of him.

"Yes, flawed. People your age should be a little more motivated. And you feel like you're being too cautious right now. Earl Boreham stretched out his hand and patted the table, "You may have a goal in mind, but you don't know that the most important thing to achieve a goal is the word "fight". You are the best among the side branches of this generation in the family, but there are a few candidates who are not much different from you. Not to mention the outside, the number of future clan elders in the family alone is also limited. According to your current gentle table, do you earn more than those people? ”

The words of the Earl of Boreham can be said to be an initiation for Barrett. All of a sudden, the ambition that he had buried deep in his heart for many years was rekindled. The helplessness of reality makes many people completely extinguish their dreams in their hearts. Even if you enter this virtual world, you often follow the rules of your old way of life. Barrett's table is slightly better. Wishing to take advantage of certain opportunities to change their situation. But he still acted conservatively.

See the ambition burning in Barrett's eyes. The Earl of Boreham nodded with satisfaction: "That's it." That's what a young man should look like. ”

"Lord Earl! Why are you saying these things to me? Barrett, who had figured it out, let go of his restraints and asked boldly.

"Isn't it my job to educate juniors like you? But you're different from the previous kids. They are ambitious and driven, but they lack reason. I would tell them to take it slow and use their brains more. And you are sane enough but lacking momentum, and of course I have to arouse your ambition. "And I think a member of your sensibility is the right person to help me with some of my hardships." ”

Barrett scratched his head embarrassedly: "I don't know if it will disappoint you!" ”

"If you don't want to disappoint me, let it go and fight after you go out! You're not just competing with your peers in the family, but more importantly with people outside the family. These rivalries may be brutal or bloody. But resources are limited, how can we do it?" As he spoke, the Earl of Boreham suddenly raised his voice by half a key: "But there is one thing you must remember. Even in competition with others, you must hold on to your honor as a member of the Boreham family. The Boreham family will never allow members of the red aura, and if you occasionally make a mistake, don't forget to do good deeds in time. ”

"Got it, sir." Barrett sincerely thought that the aboriginal in front of him bowed and saluted.

"Now that you understand, don't waste your time. Hopefully, the next time I see you, you'll be able to meet the basics. The words of the Earl of Boreham, though not an eviction order, nevertheless represented the end of the conversation between the two.

After leaving the study, Barrett, under the leadership of Craig's butler, went to the housekeeping secretary of the family to choose the task that suited him at the moment. I have to say that the communication between Boreham Collar and Repulse City is still relatively close. In addition to the assignment given by Lord Earl, Barrett also received several assignments that were similarly related to transporting items.

Of course, such delivery tasks as this kind of distribution in the family are usually not convenient for disclosure. Otherwise, it is obviously much more convenient to piggyback directly with the Chamber of Commerce when transporting the goods.

Immediately, Boreham's castle was already in full swing, but it didn't affect the players' schedules much. Returning to the hotel, Barrett immediately led his companions into a public carriage and headed to the prosperous port of Morbihan.

The tide was surging slowly, and rows of white waves were rushing behind and chasing behind. Jumping and frolicking happily, splashing strings of crisp laughter. They are like galloping horses. It was like a giant hand waving against the rock, and there was a roar of collapse and snow-white foam.

Sea crabs weave through crevices in rocks, barnacles and oysters dot the rocks, and sea cucumbers wriggle in the clear waters, spitting blue-white slime. In the sky, foraging seagulls are gliding at low altitudes.

And at the pier surrounded by the reef, a busy day has already begun. The harbor is crowded with people, and five three-masted galleons and more than a dozen brigs are parked on four rows of stone piers. Although it is not crowded, it is also a little congested, but fortunately, the entry and exit of merchant ships are quite smooth.

A crane with a stone seat and a wooden handle on the dock is lifting a huge net bag from a three-masted sailboat, and inside the net is a straw-packed cargo control tower, and workers are struggling to turn the winch. From the planks that connected the ship to the dock, barrel after barrel was rolled down by the crew, stopped by the dock workers with crowbars.

Merchants from the northern city of Bushen, the southern city of shallow water, or the distant island of Yongju are transferring the goods that they have paid for and signed the contract last night from the other party's ship to their own ship. The most common is to be carried down from a boat at one end of the dock and up to the other, a distance of several hundred yards that would cost the merchant the trade tax on the value of the transaction.

At the end of the pier, which stretches furthest out to sea, stands a tall stone tower. On the tower is placed a large brazier with two copper plates connected at an angle of ninety degrees. Wheels under copper plates are placed on rails around the brazier. Two spear-wielding guards beside the brazier looked back and forth into the distance. The surveyor was measuring the size of the ship's hull occupying the dock with a tape measure, and the tax collector was counting the unloaded goods. Handlers push or carry goods to temporary warehouses on the dockside or to horse-drawn wagons in the harbor.

Here, thousands of porters are doing their jobs in an orderly manner. Simple rope pulleys have been built next to some berths. It is convenient to carry those square or rectangular boxes. Much more of the cargo was usually packed in barrels, and with two planks on the deck, sailors and porters could easily roll the cargo off the ship and onto a cart towed by horses or oxen.

Today's weather is good, and the sea seems to be calm, so it's a good day to go to sea. Unfortunately, Barrett and his party did not seem to have found a suitable ship for themselves. (To be continued!)

ps: People have collapsed today, and the 1ooo words owed will try to make up for it twice tomorrow
