Chapter 177: Reward (Recommend!Subscription!)
That's right, Öland isn't a good place to be, at least to mainlanders.
First of all, as an island, Öland Island is destined not to be liked by mainlanders. Mainlanders are not very fond of the sea by nature, and feel that the sea symbolizes disaster, although many countries are on the verge of the sea, but no country tries to develop its own power on the sea, and Erland Island is located on the largest ocean on the mainland, "Noah's Sea".
Noah Sea is located in the southernmost part of the Yarrow Empire, and there are many islands in the sea, but because mainlanders have little interest in this ocean, there are almost no people on the islands.
Of course, the "island" here refers to the "island" that mainlanders can see at a glance from the land, and it is not clear whether there are islands in the ocean farther afield, and whether the islands are inhabited.
"Erland Island" is one of these islands that is relatively close to the mainland, to be exact, closer to the Yarrow Empire. The distance between Erlan Island and the Yarrow Empire is only about five or six hundred meters, and it takes only ten minutes to row a small boat at most, and it is an island that undoubtedly belongs to the Yarrow Empire.
Although mainlanders are not interested in the ocean, nor are they interested in these small islands in the sea, and they don't even bother to name these islands, when it comes to "Erland Island", most people on the mainland know it.
For nothing else, because this island is the largest of all the islands close to the mainland, and strictly speaking, the island is about the size of a small and medium-sized country, and is one of the few islands that the mainlanders have named.
However, no matter how large the island is, it does not have the slightest attraction to mainlanders, who have never looked at the ocean, even for a minute or a second. Because of this, when they heard the eldest prince say that he would give Erland Island to Situ Jin, everyone showed such an unexpected and strange expression.
There are many kinds of territories that are divided, but this is the first time that everyone has heard of the matter of dividing islands as territories, which is absolutely unprecedented among all the countries on the mainland that are close to the sea. Some ministers secretly looked at the eldest prince with their eyes below, but in their hearts they wondered how the prince had come up with the idea of dividing the island as a territory.
However, more ministers are secretly watching Situ Nan's expression, the eldest prince's move today is definitely to slap the earl in the face again, on the surface, the eldest prince's move is aimed at Situ Jin, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that this move is obviously aimed at Situ Nan.
However, Situ Nan's expression made everyone who looked at him feel a little disappointed, from beginning to end, there was no expression on the earl's face, that light but calm look, people who didn't know would definitely think that Situ Jin was not his son when they saw it.
After the eldest prince said these words to Situ Jin, the afterglow of his eyes also swept over Situ Nan's face from time to time, and seeing that Situ Nan had been expressionless, the eldest prince scolded the old fox in his heart.
At this time, Situ Jin said: "Since this is the case, then I thank His Highness for the reward he gave me!"
Situ Nan was okay to say, but seeing that there was no look of surprise and displeasure on Situ Jin's face, Robert was slightly stunned, this kid means that he is willing to go to Erland Island?
Situ Jin accepted the "reward" so readily, and the words that the eldest prince Robert prepared suddenly came in handy, looking at the two books on the table in front of him, the eldest prince's hand moved slightly, but in the end he still didn't stretch out.
The two books in front of Robert were actually the memoranda of Bedford and Essex Counselor Stuart secretly letting go of the Imperial captives. Needless to say, although he was completely overshadowed by Situ Jin in Tias, Situ Jin let go of Montan and those Vaal people privately, and such a big move would definitely not be hidden from Bedford.
As for Essex, since he left Mrs. Lee Kerster's manor in a huff that day, in fact, he did not leave Tias, but went to the city secretary's mansion to meet Bedford, and it is always easy for two people with common enemies to resonate, although in front of Essex, Bedford can only be regarded as a junior official, but Essex feels that Bedford is very pleasing to the eye, a hundred times more pleasing to the eye than to look at Situ Jin.
When he heard about what happened to Bedford in Tias, Essex immediately decided to join the prince in Situ Jinyi, a small city guard officer, he didn't even take the city secretary sent down from above in his eyes, and what kind of power was he engaged in!
Just as Essex was about to send someone to present the memorabilia to the eldest prince, Situ Jin released Mundan and the Vaal captives again, and Essex hurriedly rewrote another memora to add this matter to it, and then sent it to the prince with Bedford.
The eldest prince just said that he wanted to give Erland Island to Situ Jin, but he was actually prepared in his heart that Situ Jin would not accept it, what he thought was that when the time came, he would throw these two copies out, take the opportunity to beat Situ Jin, and then see what else he had to say, but Situ Jin accepted it like this, but let the eldest prince not know what to say.
In the end, the eldest prince decided not to take out the two books on the table. Since Situ Jin volunteered to go to Erland Island, his goal had been achieved, and there was no point in taking out any more twists.
However, the eldest prince also knew that he was going too far, and he said to Situ Jin: "Although I will give you the island of Erland now, you should wait until you become an adult!
After a pause, the eldest prince said: "Since you already have your own territory, and it is not good to look without a title, I will give you another baronal title! ”
"What? hereditary?" Hearing the words of the eldest prince, the ministers in the hall were taken aback again, but then everyone was relieved, not to mention that Situ Jin had made such a great contribution to the empire this time, if the reward was too light and unsightly, just say that Situ Jin was the fiancé of the princess of the empire, and it was enough to get a hereditary title.
There is no hereditary title that does not match the royal family! If you think about it carefully, it is a matter of time before Situ Jin gets the hereditary title. As for that hereditary territory, don't be funny, is that also a territory? Whoever goes suffers! What is the difference between being hereditary in that place and being exiled?
Thinking of this, everyone felt a little sympathetic to Situ Jin.
However, from the beginning to the present, the expression on Situ Jin's face has always been normal.
I saw him bow slightly at the eldest prince and said, "Your Highness Xie!"
Seeing Situ Jin's appearance, a thought appeared in the hearts of most ministers, didn't this kid know about Erland Island?
