Chapter 307: The Betrayer?
It's just that this decision is a bit crazy, and Jason doesn't plan to do it until he has a full grasp of the situation in Hierro Province, because it will touch the interests of many nobles.
And he had another plan that needed to be carried out slowly during this time, and he intended to trick those nobles in the matter of transferring the capital of the province of Hierro.
Maximize your interests in Port Laan.
The ease of river trade is not comparable to that of land transport, and he may be able to make the port of Lean the second economic center in the north, even surpassing the city of Lucca.
However, it will take a long time for this plan to be fully implemented, because not all caravans can afford to buy merchant ships.
Speaking of merchant ships, Jason suddenly had another idea, since these small caravans can't afford to buy merchant ships, but they can lease them, this lease business is a way to bring benefits to Jason.
In the eyes of those small chambers of commerce, the institutions that Jason came forward to guarantee should be much more reliable than those large chambers of commerce, after all, the policy of supporting business in the Iron Tooth Collar has won him a lot of favor among businessmen, especially the kind of small and medium-sized chambers of commerce.
Leaving a thousand troops to watch over the surrenders, the rest of the men entered the city of Hierro under the leadership of Gareth to pacify the civilians and take over the city's defenses.
Although the siege battle did not start, Bron's previous orders brought a lot of panic to these civilians, and some of the small commanders of the army even took the opportunity to loot and slaughter some of the rich households.
Then they were charged with violating the ban, and all these things needed to be thoroughly investigated one by one, and then the culprit was found out and beheaded for public display.
This is the fastest way for panicked civilians to accept Jason's army.
In addition, those who run the government of Hierro City cannot continue to use it, because they are all ornaments that Bronn has placed in that position.
In addition to being corrupt and bribery, there are really few people who are really capable of being Bron's echo worms, but fortunately, they are more or less clean, and it is easy to find an excuse to get them down.
Immediately after the capture of the city of Hierro, the Crows took control of important locations such as the armory, granary, and Blonn's castle, and carried out an inventory of supplies.
"Viscount Senna, do you have any thoughts on the city of Hierro or the province of Hierro?" Walking in the castle of Blonn, Jason asked Viscount Senna, who was following him, seemingly nonchalantly.
It stands to reason that Bron should not or could not build a castle in Hierro, but for his pleasure and for the sake of his own pleasure, and he felt that it was safer to live in the castle, he cleared a large open space in the eastern part of the city and built a small garden castle.
Not as big as Jason's castle in Iron Tooth, not even half as large, because Jason's large castle could accommodate thousands of people in case of an emergency.
However, Jason did not fully use it for the time being, and a large area was enclosed, and only a part of the houses were divided for the castle guards and servants to live in.
"Although I don't want to admit it, the current province of Hierro has reached the level of glossy appearance and decay inside, and Hiero City is the most serious place. ”
Senna sighed, and said with some shame, after all, he was also a member of the noble lords of the province of Hierro, but the territory of the Ambrose family had long been lost, and only an ancient castle and a small village remained.
In fact, he was still a little confused, because he didn't understand why Jason was taking him with him, and he didn't think that his actions at the previous negotiating table to defend him made Jason notice him.
Because he is also a member of the interest group of the nobles of the province of Hierro, strictly speaking, he is also Jason's enemy, but he is not the same as those nobles who are all interested in interests, and he still has a sense of responsibility for the kingdom in his heart.
"If I left the city of Hierro in your care, what would you do to improve the situation?" Jason stopped as he looked at the busy soldiers in the distance.
"What?" Senna felt his heart stop for half a beat, and he couldn't believe his ears.
"Don't overthink it, I just want to hear what you think. Jason smiled lightly.
Hearing this, Senna calmed down, because he felt that it was impossible for Jason to ask him this question for no reason, and this might be an opportunity for him, and an opportunity for the Ambrose family.
It's just a question of whether his answer can be approved by Jason, in other words, whether his thoughts can coincide with Jason's ideas.
Thinking of this, Viscount Senna took a deep breath lightly, glanced at the extravagant ornaments that were constantly being lifted out of Blonn Castle, as well as boxes of coins, and made a decision in his heart.
"If you want to eradicate the status quo in Hierro Province, you have to start with the nobles who occupy the economic lifeline, and Blon has been operating here for decades, and he has only cooperated with them and not deprived them of their rights and interests, so your current war in Hierro Province can still be regarded as just beginning. ”
"Bron didn't act on their interests, not because he didn't dare, but because he felt that he didn't have to bother to manage it to get the money that these nobles gave him for nothing, so there was no need for it. ”
As soon as Senna finished speaking, he was refuted by another somewhat indifferent voice.
"Chris, I've seen Your Highness. "It turns out that this man is Chris who brought Bronn to the pit with his own hands.
"It's you?!"
After seeing him, Viscount Senna's face changed, how could he not recognize this man who advised Bron because the nobles who had been against Bron had suffered more or less from him.
"Hello, Viscount Seine. Chris smiled and greeted him.
"You planned this?"
Senna vaguely guessed something when he saw him appear at Jason's place, so he asked with some surprise.
Chris didn't answer, just smiled slightly, acquiesced to his question, and then stood in front of Jason and lowered his head.
"My lord, I am glad that I did not disgrace my life. ”
Chris is one of the Crows, who he once approached and became a member of the Crows through Hassan, because he wanted to use Jason to get rid of Bron's enemy.
"Thank you. ”
Jason looked at him carefully for a while after speaking, this person is a ruthless character, in order to be able to take revenge, he has been lurking by Bron's side for more than ten years.
Senna looked at Jason's appearance and stopped talking, he wanted to ask his own questions, and reminded Jason to be careful of this betrayal, but after seeing the relationship between the two, he didn't know how to speak.
So his expression looked tangled.
