Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Emperor Dies
The imperial capital of the Aurora Empire, the Holy Dragon City, and the Imperial Palace.
The ruler of this empire, the old emperor, Stuart Ellis, finally exhaled his last breath in the world, and Crown Prince August Ellis personally took off his father's crown and put it on his head, a moment that symbolized the change of master of the Auronic Empire.
The complacent Auguste did not notice that at the moment when he took the crown, his younger brothers, the princes of the Auron Empire, their eyes were full of unwillingness and resentment, and he did not notice the perfunctory and contemptuous attitude of the imperial ministers when they bowed their heads to him.
Compared with the old emperor, who had reigned for nearly fifty years, August became the emperor of this empire by taking advantage of the succession, and the two crown princes before him died before the old emperor before he could inherit the throne.
And after August became the crown prince, the old emperor was already sick in bed, and he had no energy to teach him like the previous two crown princes, so he could only entrust the important ministers of the empire to teach him how to handle state affairs and how to be the emperor of this empire.
However, the old emperor who has been shrewd all his life has not noticed that those imperial ministers have long been dissatisfied with the overdominance of the imperial family, and every day of Stewart's life, they can only be human with their tails between their legs, so how can they cultivate August to be like the old emperor?
So, from the moment August Ellis ascended the throne, the contradictions within the Auronic Empire under the pressure of the old emperor gradually emerged, and a great storm was about to sweep over the vast territory of the Auron Empire.
Of course, Lin Feng, who was far away on Nanlin Island, didn't know all this, he was now busy preparing for the establishment of his Golden Rose Knights, the "Guardian Sword" was easy to handle, and the expansion of Rockland's original escort team was barely enough.
The "Sword of Judgment" has only been a shelf so far, except for the sub-leader Kivika, that is, the fifth-level warrior named Frank can barely enter Lin Feng's eyes. "Talent is rare!" Lin Feng didn't know how many times he had said it, well, he said it when he was alone.
With the import of refugees from Jinyue City, the four new agricultural towns on Nanlin Island have also been gradually established, and it is foreseeable that as long as it takes another two years, nearly 400,000 mu of farmland in these four towns can be fully developed, and the amount of farmland owned by Lin Feng, a baron, will also catch up with the average small county.
On this day, Lin Feng was processing documents in Sunset Castle, but suddenly heard a report from the attendant: "The president of the Changfan Chamber of Commerce, Philip has come to ask to see the lord." ”
Lin Feng is very strange, since Philip returned to Jinyue Port, he has been busy recruiting refugees, that conscientious appearance, even Lin Feng is not as good as him when he goes into battle in person, and now he has come to ask for a meeting, could it be that the recruitment of refugees has gone wrong again?
Lin Feng had already decided that when he was done with this while, he would have a good talk with him to see if he was willing to be loyal to him and his family, and Lin Feng now found that since Jackson and the others were subsumed into the navy, his merchant fleet lacked a general leader.
It was also for this reason that the plan for the Second Voyage Tribal Emirate had been put on hold for a while, and Lin Feng rummaged around, and among the people he knew, Philip was the most suitable for the position of commercial director.
When Philip walked into Lin Feng's study, Lin Feng asked the attendant to pour him a cup of tea, and then asked, "Is there a problem with the recruitment of refugees?"
Philip replied, "There is no problem, now that they are all in orbit, no, only then will I have time to meet you, Lord Baron." ”
Lin Feng smiled: "Yes, if you can let a workaholic come to see me, there is no problem with designating over there." ”
The two of them chatted for a while, and Philip suddenly said, "Lord Baron, you and I are old friends, and now I have a request that I hope you can grant me." ”
Lin Feng also said with a straight face: "There is no problem, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help you do it without discount." ”
Philip continued, "It's not that difficult for Lord Baron, well, I want to join your family and become your lord. ”
Lin Feng thought to himself, "What is this, is it the favor of fate? I had the idea of recruiting him, so he sent it to the door himself!"
Lin Feng once again confirmed, "Join my clan? and swear allegiance to me to become my lord?"
Philip stood up, walked up to Lin Feng, knelt down on one knee and said, "Please agree to my request, and I and the descendants of my family will always be loyal to you and your family." ”
Lin Feng hurriedly walked over, helped him up and said, "You and I are alone, so you don't have to make these false courtesies, well, I agreed to your request, it just so happens that I have a position here that is very suitable for you." ”
"Commercial Director, Nanlin Island is currently lacking a Commercial Director," Lin Feng continued, "You also know that Jackson is already the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy Fleet, and there has been no suitable candidate to take over this vacancy he has left, since you are here, it is you." ”
Philip rejoiced in his heart, "Being the head of business is facing my 'profession', I am very easy to make achievements in this position, well, Lord Lord is so wise!"
Sure enough, Lin Feng said again: "As long as you make achievements in this position, after you have meritorious service, I will canonize you as a hereditary lord, and you will also receive five hundred acres of land." ”
Lin Feng is now a typical "rich and rich", oh no, there are few people in the land, he can't wait to find a talent, so he uses the land to tie him to Nanlin Island, well, the family wings of the baron of Nanlin Island are still too few.
Isn't Philip here for this? How can a merchant family compare with a noble family, although this lord is only the lowest noble, but as long as he crosses the threshold of hereditary nobility, he and his descendants will always have the opportunity to raise their own noble rank step by step.
Looking at Philip's surprised appearance, Lin Feng knew that his "big pie" was very tempting, but as long as Philip did his job wholeheartedly, Lin Feng really would not be stingy with a mere lord's reward.
In this way, Lin Feng signed the letter of appointment appointing Philip as the commercial director of Nanlin Island, and then handed the letter of appointment to Philip, who immediately took the letter of appointment and couldn't wait to report to Lin Nabu and take over the duties that belonged to him.
The head of commerce is subordinate to the town hall and is under the direct control of Linnab, the interior officer. Linnab has been busy these days because of the refugee affairs, and Linnab is very welcome to Philip, the new business director, "But this part of the trouble is pushed out, this account book is really not for people to see." ”
