Chapter 256: Wooing
For the first time since coming to the City Lord's Mansion, Andre showed a look of surprise on his face: "Wright City Lord, this joke is not funny at all. ”
"Mr. Andrew, do you think I'm joking?"
"The ......," Andre muttered for a moment, then suddenly rose from his seat, his hands propped up on Wright's desk.
At this moment, the old man who was old and had a mountain momentum suddenly erupted, his eyes looked at Wright, and his tone became aggressive: "What if I say that I will only agree if you give me your position as the city lord?"
"Yes!" Wright looked at him without hesitation, and his words were full of determination.
Then, there is a long period of silence.
Andre stared into Wright's eyes, as if to examine how much credibility he had in his words, but no matter how nitpicking he was, there was no emotion in Wright's gaze other than sincerity and calmness.
I don't know how long it took, but Andre was the first to break the silence: "Amazing, worthy of being the city lord of Ambrera." Knowing that I, an old man, have no descendants, and I am a lot older, even if I hand over the position of city lord to me, I won't be able to do it for a few years, and in the end I will still return to you, I just help you work for a few years for free, it's really a profitable deal!"
According to the general steps of digging the foot of the wall, at this time Wright should say that he has never had this kind of thought, he really wants to recruit Andre, and he has no other careful thoughts, but Wright knows that it may be okay for other people, but for Andre, doing so will have the opposite effect, so he said bluntly: "That's right, I have this plan." ”
Immediately afterwards, his words changed: "However, other people's words may be completely sure that Ambrera is firmly in my hands, but your words, to tell the truth, I am not even half sure, but I still hope that you can come to Ambrera, your talent can't be buried like this!"
"I know you're complimenting me, but I'm still happy to say it. Andre smiled slightly, "However, I still know how many catties and taels I have, not to mention anything else, if I promise you, but I don't know anyone in Ambrera, and the officials here are all your people, even if I am the city lord, what can I do, I don't have to act according to your will?"
"I believe what others say, but if it comes from your mouth, I will never believe it!" Wright also laughed, "As long as you are a human being, you will have your own plans, as long as it is a group, it is absolutely impossible to be completely monolithic, seamless, and find opportunities from the seemingly impossible, which is what you are best at." What's more, I'm going to hand over Ambrella's most powerful position to you now, so that you have more opportunities, and the people below may disobey you, but you must also do things according to the rules, such a unique advantage, coupled with your means, who will die in the end, but I can't say for sure. ”
"Even if you're right, but my age is here, and when I make Ambrera my own as you say, it's a question of whether I'll be able to get out of bed at that time, and to put it bluntly, you don't want me to give you a free part-time job?"
"That's what I meant, didn't I confess this to you a long time ago?"
Andre was choked and rolled his eyes: "Are you stupid for me, knowing that I am working for you, and I still come up to you to take advantage of it?"
"But don't you think it's any more interesting than staying in Ambrera as an old butler?"
"That's ......," Andre nodded, and then slapped the table in annoyance, "You stinky boy, I was almost stunned by you!
"How can you say it's useless?" Wright began to pour bitter water, "You just see the good side of our Ambrera, you don't know how many things I need to deal with every day." Speaking of which, I just happened to ask you for advice, and I hope you can help. ”
"Oh? Hearing this, Andre was really aroused by curiosity.
"The most disturbing thing is the pirates in the waters near Ambrera, I wonder if you can help me figure out what I can do to reduce the number of pirates as much as possible. ”
"Well...... "The best way to cure the root cause is for you to send someone to destroy all the places around Ambrera where pirates can hide, although it takes time and effort to do so, but it is definitely a great profit." ”
"I've thought about this too, but you also know that when the Empire signed an agreement with the Federation, there were also detailed restrictions on our Ambrera military forces, and with our current army, it would be impossible to destroy those islands, unless we could have heavy guidance weapons on the Empire's side, so there was some chance of victory. However, it is impossible for the Empire to lend us those guiding weapons, so it will not work at all. ”
"That's just as well. Andrei nodded in agreement, "If this road doesn't work, you can plan a trade route on the sea dedicated to trade, and send more troops to patrol near the trade route in normal times, although this will not cure the root cause, but it can also play some role." ”
"It's a viable option. Wright pondered, "Then there is the fact that the Empire has been sending people to the border a lot lately, what do you think they will do, and is it possible to ......?"
Before Wright finished speaking, Andre on the other side slapped his head suddenly, looking very annoyed: "Stop! I have made the old mistake again, I like to discuss problems with others, Lord Wright, I am also a lot older, I don't want to toss anymore, please raise your noble hand, just let me go!"
"Mr. Andrew, don't you think about it anymore, even if you don't want to come to Ambrera, but you're willing to be an old butler for the rest of your life?" Wright made one last attempt.
"It doesn't matter if I'm willing or not, I'm just repaying the favor now, and there's nothing to pick, so don't mention the matter that let me come to Ambrera. However, maybe one day, when I feel that I have repaid my love, I may come here to retire, and I hope that Lord Wright will not drive me away. ”
The last effort failed, but there was not much disappointment on Wright's face, and after saying that he would not, he turned to say: "Since it is your will, then I will not force it." However, there is one thing that I need your help with. ”
Just rejected the kindness of others, Andre couldn't say anything to refuse, so he could only wait for his follow-up.
"That's right, Leach, you've seen them too, they're going to the Federation recently, I hope you can help them within your ability, thank you very much!"
