Chapter 287 Is Selfishness Wrong?As an independent individual, it is right to do anything for your own benefit
is obviously a very normal person, but he becomes a fool in the comparison, and this kind of harm may pass with a smile for adults. But it was the most brutal blow to a child www.biquge.info so much so that for a long time, Isaac began to doubt himself and the whole world. This situation was not reversed until he inherited the title.
Even a beggar on the side of the road will change drastically after getting a knighthood, let alone a top title such as the hereditary marquis inherited by Isaac. Since he took power, the flattery of others has allowed him to regain his self-confidence, although he always has a good face when facing Ganwen, at least he doesn't really think of himself as a fool.
With a small stab at Ganvin, Isaac's whole body became comfortable, and he threw his feet on the table without an image on his face, with a look of what can you do with me.
Ganwen's lips squirmed twice, and his gaze turned to Pilagos on the side, "Mr. Pilagos, what do you think?"
Pilagos sneered, what could he do? The only thing he could think of now was to use force and bloody suppression of this group of mud dogs who were about to ascend to the sky. Give them a vivid lesson through blood and death, so that they clearly understand and keep in mind in their bones, some dangerous thoughts must not be had, and must not be whimsical and put into action. Of course, he won't say what is in his heart, and if he just talks casually, and others take it seriously and do what he says, he will become the culprit of the bloodshed.
This is also what the other nobles consider, in case they can't find a proper way to quote their "foolish opinion" in the end, that's the real thing.
"Let's talk to them, no matter what it is, there will be a proper solution, that's my opinion. Pilagos can't be like Isaac without giving face to Ganvin, as one of the only three hereditary dukes in the empire, Ganwen is still very strong, and a head-on conflict is not a wise choice, even if Pilagos is not too concerned about these golden nobles.
This is, if this matter could be solved by consultation, I am afraid it will not develop into the situation it is today. In fact, everyone here is very sober in their hearts, and there are only two ways to solve the general strike, one is brutal suppression, whoever dares to resist, whoever dares to come forward will be slaughtered, and he will be killed in a river of blood. After the people of the imperial capital are killed, there will naturally be mud dog legs from the countryside to add in, and it will not have any impact on the lives of the nobles.
The other way is to make relative concessions from the aristocratic class, which does not need to concede much, as long as it can give a little room for manoeuvre, so that these self-proclaimed civil rights fighters think that they have defeated the aristocracy, it is enough to get them back to work.
As for the future, things are actually much easier to solve than now, and the nobles who are differentiating and co-opting this small means are playing more and more than one by one, and the top priority is to shoot this wave down, which is the most important thing.
Pilagos's words made Ganvin very helpless, this is the hall of the parliament where the national elite is said to gather here to discuss national affairs, he can't see the so-called elite, nor can he see a few loyal nobles, only ugly faces. His gaze turned to the third person, Nengalael, who was also the leader of the aristocratic group. Compared to Isaac and Pilagos, Nengalel is a little younger, only in his fifties, and at his age he can control a group of nobles, relying on the strength of his family in addition to his personal ability.
The aristocratic group of the empire can be simply divided into three groups, the first is the northwestern aristocratic group, headed by Isaac, the southwestern aristocratic group, headed by Pilagos, and the emerging aristocratic group on the southeast coast, headed by Nongalel. These three noble groups encompassed nearly two-thirds of the nobility of the entire empire. Of course, this kind of snare is not allegiance to someone or a certain family, but everyone forms a loose collective, and if something happens, they will carry it together, and the benefits will be shared together.
The core members of the real aristocratic group are only a few dozen, and even so, these core members have entanglements and disagreements with each other. Perhaps it was precisely because of these unsolvable problems that they were unable to overthrow the rule of the Orlando family and the golden aristocracy.
Nengalel patted his head and looked apologetic, "I'm sorry, Prime Minister, I drank a little more last night, and I fought with a few skilled women until the early morning, and now my mind is blank and I can't think of anything." ”
The background of the emerging Nungalaire aristocracy is not as good as the other two nobility, so Nungalaire is relatively low-key in the Congress and the Imperial Diet, and it is only a little. The coastal areas have developed greatly with the advancement of ship technology, and the place that was previously despised by many nobles has now become a fragrant bait. As the family of Nungalaire, who had been in the south of the empire to defend against the attack of the Byron Empire from the sea, they had deep roots in the coastal areas and became the leaders of the aristocratic group as a matter of course.
His words provoked a low chuckle, which was clearly an excuse, and it was the worst excuse. It can also be found that the dissatisfaction and antagonism of the nobles towards the royal family is completely reflected in this small matter.
Empress Pars, who had not spoken, clenched her fist, a sneer rising at the corner of her mouth, she glanced at Wren, and released her fist again. For the time being, let this group of people who have no royal family be proud for a while, and the show has just begun. Empress Pars actually has all the worries about Wren's proposed plan, Wren is not Gamwen, not Grace, and he is absolutely impossible to be completely loyal to the royal family. Empress Pars was even more convinced that Wren must have had his own purpose in giving such a plan.
As for the purpose, Empress Pars did not know, but she knew that at least the plan would not harm her or the entire royal family. It was enough to dilute the number of seats of the aristocratic group in the Imperial Parliament, increase the variables, and give the already disadvantaged Empress Pars a chance to turn over. The parliament is in her control, and as the emperor of the empire, she can exercise the prerogatives of the emperor and pass certain national policies forcefully, but she is at a disadvantage in the parliament.
She won't lose anything because of it, and if she can get it, it's all for nothing.
Sensing the gaze of Empress Pars, the corners of Wren's mouth twitched, and he looked like an old god was there, his ears did not listen to what was going on outside the window, and he closed his eyes and thought about his private affairs.
Aphro sent a letter to the Barbarians, and the Barbarians retreated into the depths of the Salme Mountains and begged for peace, willing to accept any of Wren's terms, and even offered to provide a certain number of Barbarians into slavery each year. Of course, this is definitely no way to do it, compared to the worthless head of the black barbarian, the combat exploits exchanged for one head are even more crazy. If you can accumulate more heads or take off the heads of the chiefs of the big tribes, the title of Viscount of Light is at your fingertips.
There are fewer and fewer black barbarians, but more and more people join the barbarian killing order, and everyone thinks that they may be the next miraculous rise of nobles, and for this goal, they follow the route of the black barbarians' retreat, and also go deep into the dense forest. Now the days of the black barbarians are getting more and more difficult, and after the weather turns colder, the temperature in the Salme Mountains begins to drop, and the wild beasts begin to gather for the winter, and the food is becoming less and less. If the endless killing is not stopped, it is very likely that countless black barbarians will starve to death in their tribes this winter.
In order to find a way to survive, as the saintess of the black barbarians, Aphro had to plead with Wren again, thus ending all conquests.
At this moment, Wren also had an idea, if the black man was really willing to surrender, it would be the best, but he would not let go of this resource so easily. In fact, Wren valued the resources of the Salmer Mountains more than the profits brought by the barbarian slave trade. As a huge mountain range that runs through the north and south, it is bound to hide inexhaustible wealth. Veins of metals, gems, and even wood and rare alchemical materials are an astonishing treasure.
The black barbarians want to use their population as a slave resource in exchange for Ren's forgiveness, but Ren wants to turn the entire black barbarian race into his own slaves.
Once he can fully control the black barbarian race, it means that Wren no longer needs to worry about resources and money.
It's just that it's still unclear whether the black man truly trusts and worships Afro, the holy woman, or whether he has to take refuge under Afro's wings in order to survive the current difficulties. This matter needs to be investigated, and it just so happens that Harvey's slut is still in Ortlenburg, so it is most appropriate for him to do this matter. This old slave trader is not dealing with the black barbarians for a day or two, he must have his own channels.
In addition to this, Richard noticed the abnormal fluctuation of the imperial currency in the first half of the year, and exchanged a bunch of "change" and piled up in the treasury of Ortrenburg. Now the Imperial currency has begun to decline steadily, and the price of silver coins for gold coins has dropped from one hundred and fifty to one to one hundred and nine, which is even about ten percent lower than last year. At this time, the silver coins in a treasury can be exchanged for at least 100,000 gold coins.
It was a windfall.
But Wren didn't plan to transport this money to the imperial capital, the imperial capital is good for everything, except for one thing, that is, no matter what you do, you are acting under the noses of Empress Pars and a bunch of nobles, and it is inevitable that they will find something. Therefore, although the focus of Rennes's career is placed in the imperial capital, the roots are still in Bell Province.
He plans to continue to expand his hard power and build an iron army, with at least 5,000 iron cavalry and 20,000 heavily armed soldiers, which is a powerful weapon that can really protect himself in troubled times.
