Chapter 207: Fifty Thousand Gold Coins for a New Beginning
Moffett's opinion was not unconsidered.
Even if he was kind to the people of Morrowind, there were still some people who were dissatisfied with Xiuyin, and some unpleasant words had reached Xiuyin's ears.
However, nothing is perfect, and Xiu Yin also firmly believes in his own style, and in this world, he can only use a different way of managing his territory, which may also give him, a weak lord, a chance to become strong.
......
With the Motu Empire having no time to look south, Lance could only maintain a part of the royal capital, neither ascending the throne nor making tough demands on the other great lords of the Golden Family, and this situation was stalemate for a month.
The Starlight Kingdom is also in this situation, with a cool breeze blowing, autumn has quietly arrived.
The news of Morrowind's excavation of the gold mine was effectively blocked after the completion of the Territory's Exchange.
However, as more and more gold mines are excavated, how to exchange them for the resources needed in the territory has become a new problem for Xiuyin.
And before Xiu Yin had thought about this matter for two days, the messenger from the royal capital appeared in the Morrowind Territory again.
The eldest prince Lance found that he couldn't fiddle with the four big lords, and with the advice of the people around him, he shifted his attention to the small lords in the kingdom.
The lords of the four major dominions all have large territories, large populations and several towns in their territories, and their armed forces are also strong, and it is not easy for Lance to deal with them, and he cannot use the Starlight Knights in the royal capital.
But small lords like Xiuin are different, such as lords with the title of baron and viscount, there is often only one small town in the fief, and the population is only tens of thousands at most, such a power is obviously not enough in front of Lance.
So almost the weakest lord in the kingdom, Baron Huin naturally put on the list of Reims.
The messenger brought a handwritten letter from Lance, and the content was also simple and easy to understand, which was nothing more than the statement that Xiu Yin would go to the royal capital to show his loyalty and contribute to the royal family and not treat him badly in the future.
"I'm going to the royal capital. ”
In the Baron's Mansion, Xiuin said to Irwin.
The last time Xiu Yin walked very resolutely, so this time Reiner and the others didn't stop him, but Irwin hoped that Xiu Yin could bring some guards, such as himself.
"No, Uncle Irvin stays in Morrowind, I need your protection here, and I can rest assured that I have you. This time I'll just take Hans out with a few other mercenary uncles. ”
Charlotte originally expressed his dissatisfaction with Xiu Yin not taking him there, but Xiu Yin asked Charlotte to stay on the grounds that the exchange needed to be taken care of and Reiner was inconvenient to go back and forth on the mine.
However, Xiu Yin selected six old mercenaries to accompany him in one go, which also surprised Irvin and them, and by the time he saw Xiu Yin ask Reinard to prepare a carriage, Reiner had already guessed what Xiu was going to do.
Huin was to dig up the gold mines these days and send them to the royal capital.
Gold ore has been simply refined, and although the purity is still far from pure gold, this piece of golden glittering gravel is already worth a lot.
A simple estimate shows that the value of the gold ore in the wagon is 50,000 gold coins, which is enough to cover the necessities of life for several years for the current Morrowind.
But the appearance of the messenger of the royal capital has helped Xiuyin, and it is very difficult to deal with these gold mines, but now Xiuyin wants to bring him to the royal capital, Xiuyin believes that it can definitely be exchanged for greater benefits.
Xiu Yin has always been vigorous and resolute in his work, saying that he would go to the royal capital, prepare in the morning, and set off on the road in the afternoon.
Three carriages, two in front of the other, escorted the carriage with the gold mine in the middle.
Although the battle in the north had a certain impact on the northern inhabitants of the Starlight Kingdom, the south was still stable, and there was no obstacle from the Morrowind Leader all the way north to Starlight City.
......
Rushing all the way, Xiu Yin came to Starlight City three days later.
There were quite a few heavily armed soldiers outside the city gates, and it was clear that the atmosphere was still a little tense, but Xiu Yin was very calm, he just gave his name to the guards outside the gate, and after they confirmed, a small group of guards stood up alone and led Xiu Yin and them to the royal palace in the city.
Beyond the two gates of the palace, this was the first time Xiuin had been here.
The momentum of the palace is indeed majestic, but at this time, within the walls of this palace, there is indeed an eerie silence.
There were still quite a few guards along the way, and as he approached a more majestic building, Xiu saw that the armor on the guards in front of the building was no longer the standard armor of the Starlight Kingdom.
It's from the Motu Empire.
The majestic building is the main hall of the kingdom, in which Bernaventus IV once sits, but now he is replaced by Reims, who is not recognized as king.
Xiu Yin is not optimistic about Lance's future, but under the current situation, he can only choose to make a deal with him, after all, Lance is the real controller here, as for the extent of control, Xiu Yin can only "hehe" in his heart.
Fatter than Charlotte, not as tall as Charlotte, stupidly fat, this is Xiuin's first impression after seeing Lance up close.
"Xiu Yinqing, it's great that you can come here!
Xiu Yin knew what Lance was referring to, the Marquis of Fell in the south had already been a supporter of Lance, and now Xiu Yin's statement, which made Lance very happy, and Xiu Yin was the first little lord to come to the royal capital to express his attitude to him, which was a surprise to Lance, you must know that Xiu Yin came from the southern border The distance is not short.
And what Xiu Yin presented next made Lance, who was already happy, start to become a little crazy, crazy with excitement.
The gold ore was presented in the main hall, and although it was not as valuable as the gold ornaments that were casually taken out of the royal hall, it was the thing that best proved Baron Huin's position.
"The small pit in the collar occasionally carries these gold ores, and the morning wind leads the small, and I hope that His Highness will not dislike them. Standing on the temple, Xiuin spoke to Lance without humility or arrogance.
"Oh, no, where is it, Xiu Yinqing, I'm very optimistic about you!"
"Someone!"
Lance clapped his hands, and the palace attendant came over and spread a ball of brown paper on the desk in front of Lance.
Huin saw what Lance had written on it, and then took what was supposed to be a ribbon or something on the table and put it on the vellum.
The chamberlain picked it up and read it in the main hall.
"Enshrine Neumann as the Viscount of the Kingdom, and look at the glory of the stars......"
The old king died, and although Lance did not officially ascend the throne, this set of things that could really influence the politics of the kingdom was in Lance's hands.
For the sudden edict, Xiu Yin was happy in his heart, and immediately knelt down on one knee and gladly accepted it, this scene he had already expected when he was in the morning wind.
