Chapter 47: Allies

"Baron, it's the hill ahead!" said Knight Rooney, confirming at last;

Baron White lifted the curtain, glanced in the direction of the hill not far away, nodded slightly, and commanded:

"Send a man to see if they have arrived"

"Let's just take our time"

"Okay, Baron, I'll give the order," Knight Rooney nodded, and sent someone over to take a look, not only for the sake of face, but also for the sake of safety;

Thinking so, he turned to the young squire beside him and said:

"Hart, go over and take a look, have the Finney family arrived?!"

"Yes, Lord Fix!" said Hart, bowing his head slightly, and then flicked the reins and galloped toward the hills not far away;

Looking at the squire who was departing from home, Knight Rooney commanded again:

"Slow down!"

"Ah~huh!"

There was a sound of metal clashing, and then the whole team slowed down, slowly moving towards the hill at half the speed they had just had;

A short time later, when he was still some distance from the hill, the attendant named Hart rode back on horseback and came near:

"Phew!" said Hart, with a gasp:

"Lord Fixes, the Finney family has arrived" lowered his voice slightly:

"There is no place to ambush nearby"

Knight Rooney's eyes flashed when he heard this, nodded slightly, waved his hand to send the young squire down, and rode close to the carriage himself:

"Baron!"

"Huh!" the curtain of the door was lifted, revealing half of Baron White's face, and Knight Rooney bowed his head slightly respectfully, and said in a low voice:

"Baron, the location is safe, they have arrived!"

Baron White's eyes flashed, and he said:

"Well, then let's go over quickly" After saying that, he lowered the curtain, satisfied, at least for now, it seems that the kid from the Finney family still understands some rules. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Soon, the carriage arrived at the place, and Baron White stepped out of the carriage and looked left and right:

It is open on all sides, and the slope of the hill is very low, and there is a meandering stream in front of the hill, and the meeting place is at the foot of the river:

A building in the form of a fence made of logs, ventilated on all sides, with no enclosed space.

Seta was standing at the gate of the fence at this time, and he had actually only arrived a little before Baron White, and he had told Hans to prepare the preparations here.

Then his eyes lit up, and he walked forward quickly, and said in a loud voice:

"Welcome, honorable Baron White!"

"Thank you, Sir Finney!" said Baron Wright with a gentle hug with the young hereditary knight, then let go, and continued:

"It is a great pleasure to see you again, dear Sir Finney!"

After a brief conversation, the two nobles entered the fence with their respective attendant guards, and sat down on both sides, after which naturally a servant brought tea, water, melons and fruits;

Baron White looked at the steaming tea on the table in front of him and did not touch it, he looked at the hereditary knight who was drinking tea elegantly opposite, and said with a slight smile:

"Dear Sir Finney, Knight Fixes told me about the Martin family," said this, and looked at Seta gently:

"I think there must be a misunderstanding between you, right?

Here comes the point!

Seta sat up straight, sighed at first, and then said decently:

"It all started before I went to Redhill last year... ”

briefly talked about last year's rumors, of course, it was naturally deleted at this time, for example, the role played by the White family in it was omitted;

"Bang!"

Baron White's face turned pale, and the table in front of him was smashed to pieces, but he seemed unaware of it and said angrily:

"The Martin family has really gone too far! How dare they turn their backs on their own glory and do such a thing!"

At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart:

'Willing to reconcile, but is it on the condition of the Martin family?'

After a slight hesitation, Baron White made up his mind:

The Finneys now have a strong backing, with the royal family and the church's top officials behind him, and there is no need for them to clash with him at this time!

Besides, there is also the Hugo family watching from the sidelines!

Although during this period, the Hugo family has tried to reduce its sense of existence and not conflict with the White family, but as an opponent for decades;

Doesn't Baron White know what the Hugo family thinks? He just wants to fight himself and the Finney family, so that they can benefit from it!

I sneered secretly in my heart:

'How can you succeed!'

Thinking so, he raised his head and said righteously:

"Dear Sir Finney, rest assured, you will be satisfied!"

Then the meeting entered a more detailed link, and suddenly the two noble nobles began to bargain like lowly merchants buying and selling goods.

Eventually, at dusk, the talks finally ended!

Both sides get what they want:

The first is that the White family ceded the suzerainty of the Martin family to the Finney family, so that Martin Jr. became a vassal of Seta;

The relationship between the Finneys and the Martins becomes an internal contradiction;

Secondly, the Feeney family will be re-recommended to join the Maple Leaf County Noble Council and have enough say! This is very important, and he represents the Feeney family finally returning to the superstructure of Maple Leaf County!

Finally, it's the secret alliance between the White family and the Finney family!

End of talks;

Seta rode on his horse and looked at Baron White and his party, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart:

In order to avoid risks, the Hugo family gave up on themselves, and the White family gave up on the Martin family!

And in order to gain benefits, the two families, who were still hostile just now, have become close allies in the blink of an eye!

It really responds to that sentence: there is no friendship with hate, only eternal interests!

"In fact, the so-called alliance relationship is not solid"

Seta's understanding of the relationship between the nobility was no longer what it used to be, and he had a deeper understanding:

"If there is no lubrication and linkage of interests, the so-called alliance agreement will not be heavier than a piece of paper!"

Spring goes and summer comes;

Since the last secret meeting with the White family, more than two months have passed in the blink of an eye;

Finney Castle, study;

Seta flipped through the scroll in his hand, smiled and nodded:

"Nice, very good"

"Business is finally fully recovered!" Raising his head, he looked at the tax officer:

"You're doing a great job, Danny!"

The chubby tax officer suddenly laughed so much that he couldn't see his eyes, bowed down and said:

"Sir, it's all due to your wise governance!"

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have recovered so quickly!"

Without saying much to the tax officer, he waved his hand to get him to stand down, and soon there was a knock at the door:

"Bang, bang, bang!"

"Sir, George Luther begs to see you!"

"Come in, George."

The door of the study 'squeak~yah!' opened, and the internal affairs officer of the territory walked in, he had been proud of the spring breeze recently, so he was full of momentum and energy:

"Baron, you are looking for me, what do you command?" bowed slightly;

Seta smiled gently, nodded and said:

"I summoned Danny, the tax officer, just now, and according to his statistics, the business of the territory has finally returned to its previous level."

George Luther had spent all his energy on agriculture during this time, and he was not very clear about the state of business, when he was pleasantly surprised to hear the news:

"That's great!"

"Due to the construction of the water conservancy system, the territory's agriculture this year is at least 30% higher than last year!" After a slight turn of thought, he calculated the total annual income of the territory:

"That's how it goes, there's almost a balance of 200 gold coins!"

"Hahaha~" Seta laughed when she heard this, and said:

"How can there be so many!" then explained:

"You're only counting the increase in income, not the increase in expenses!"

Seta stood up and put his hands behind his back:

"Servants, guards, servants, etc., the cost is much greater than that of the previous Finney family."

"But in the end, thanks to the increase in income, the annual balance can still be maintained at 120 gold coins, which can barely be regarded as not increasing or decreasing!"

Speaking of this, Seta looked at the Interior Minister, who was surprised by the large amount of money, smiled slightly, and said his purpose:

"I'm calling you over today, it's actually a matter of money."

"After the construction of the water conservancy system in Finney Town and Muen Manor, the basic potential has been tapped, and the most important thing to maintain in the future is to have such a big room for improvement this time!"

George Luther nodded silently when he heard this, and the manor that produces 100 gold coins a year is indeed a very good manor;

Ignoring the thoughts of his own interior officer, Seta picked up a quill and held it in his hand, turned it from side to side, and continued:

"So, if the Finney family wants to have new development, they must develop other places!"

George Luther's heart moved, and he asked:

"Sir, are you the Farnar Collar?"
