Chapter 335: Agreement (I)
The turmoil in the capital came to an end, although the nobles of the two camps did not like each other, but after the demonic disaster, the territories under the rule of each nobleman could be better restored. The aristocrats were very clever in choosing to cooperate. Carefully keep the grievances and contradictions between the two sides to a minimum, so as to give your territory the best respite.
At least, judging from the current situation, apart from the occasional close relationship between the nobles, there is no too obvious division between the two factions.
As for whether the friction or conflict of interest between the two sides will intensify in the future, this is not something that the nobles will consider now.
After all, after the division of the territory, the nobles were busy checking the new territory, issuing documents, and appointing new officials.
Unlike their side, the Romon faction, which is being hated by these people, is very quiet.
Baron Shaka's family is not here for the time being. There was only one person in the family, and he was busy with the affairs of the territory, and Baron Rocas had always had a gloomy personality. This carve-up itself is not the biggest winner. So, I didn't celebrate much.
Romon is one of the winners of this territorial partition, but at this time he is only with his wife. Sitting together on a stone in the harbor, blowing the sea breeze, and sitting together with serene expressions.
"Is it cold?" Lumon asked with concern when he saw his wife leaning towards him.
Although it was already the beginning of June, the sea breeze still kept their hair back, carrying a damp smell of seawater.
"It's not cold. Elean smiled and shook her head.
In the past few days, my husband has been busy with the affairs of his new territory, and it is rare to stay with her for a while, and today I finally took half a day to watch the sea with her.
The two of them sat together, body to body, holding hands, no one spoke, just quietly looked at the blue sea, and their mood improved.
It's a pity that this kind of time is always difficult to last, just when Romon turned his face and wanted to say something to Eleni, suddenly, someone in the distance shouted: "Lord Lord!"
"Lord Lord!" this cry was no less than a muffled thunder, and it directly shouted out the little emotions that the little couple had finally brewed.
Romon was a little depressed, and he looked back to see which daredevils had come running at this time. You know, before he came to the beach with his wife Elenie, he had taken care of all the things that needed to be dealt with in the territory, and some other trivial matters. It was all left to the subordinates.
Anyway, Wen has Nick and Lu Lun, Wu has Farfer and Haivawi, and his Tetashaw collar is very strong.
In the future, he will live with Eleni for the rest of his life, and Romon naturally wants to reconcile the feelings of the two, which is not to please his wife, but a kind of life management.
At this time, a daredevil ran over and disturbed the two of them.
Romon was naturally very depressed, and when he turned around, he happened to see the daredevil's eyes shining towards him, obviously seeing himself.
"Lord Lord!" the daredevil, who had come was one of Romon's cronies, and when he ran to Romon's approach, he obviously saw Romon's depressed expression, and then looked at Eleni, whose face was slightly reddened, and suddenly smiled a little dryly. A letter was handed into the hands of Romon .
"This is a letter sent to you by Baron Shaka. Said it was urgent, "Hey, hey!"
"Okay, I got it. Seeing that this guy came over to deliver the letter, and the owner of the letter was Baron Shaka again, Romon finally calmed down.
Although this Baron Shaka is only a baron who has just been promoted not long ago, and his local foundation is also very unstable, but he has the entire royal family behind him, so Baron Shaka is definitely not a character who can be offended casually.
Thinking of this, he waved his hand and asked the squire to go back, and at the same time, sitting on the stone, he opened the letter and read it.
"Honey, is there any problem?" Is there any bad news?" Seeing that her husband's expression looked a little strange after reading the letter, Alini asked with some concern.
Eleni was wearing a very well-fitting white dress today, although the style was very simple. When matched with her temperament, it is immediately perfect and amazing.
She was close to her husband, and she deliberately avoided it before Romon didn't take the initiative to let her read the letter, so she asked this question.
"No, Elini, there's no problem" Not only is it not bad news, on the contrary, the news is very timely" Romon didn't think about it, and handed the letter to his wife.
Eleni took the letter and only glanced at it a few times. A happy expression appeared on his face: "Baron Shaka, there is a way to increase the population?"
"yes, isn't that good news?" Romon took the letter back and put it in his pocket.
You must know that at the territorial meeting held yesterday, Luo Meng had just inquired about the situation in his territory, and it was really distressing that a large area of the vast baronial territory was actually empty and idle.
This time, he went out with his wife to take a break. Half of the reason is that I am worried about the population problem, and I want to get rid of the boredom in my heart by distracting my heart.
After the event of the demonic disaster, the population of the county has dropped sharply, and there is a shortage of people everywhere.
The Tetasho Territory is already one of the most populous and prosperous territories in the county, and the other baronies are even half empty of the territories that originally belonged to them, not to mention the newly divided territories, all of which are idle, and although there are people patrolling them every day, they can't really use them. It's heart-wrenching.
And in this way, these carved up land has become chicken ribs, so much land is empty and no one cultivates or lives, which is really depressing.
However, the increase in land is also a guarantee of the title, and no one will be stupid enough to give away the land that has already been handed out, the problem of population. It has become a big problem that the nobles have to worry about first but can't solve after the demonic disaster.
But even as a lord, Romon has the second only Viscount of Edel's territory and population among the lords. At this time, there are also things that are difficult to solve.
Those populations that Romon now has. It can only be barely enough to reclaim the land, and the town, especially the long-distance port, cannot spread. And that large new territory has too many places that need to be carefully cared for, but these are not possible with the current limited population.
Even his situation was so embarrassing, not to mention the other lords.
Those people did not have Romon's ability to protect his people in the demonic disaster, and they did not have the reputation of "the exiles, so most of the nobles' territories at this time were deserted.
In such a situation. Not to mention the reclamation of newly acquired land, it is also extremely difficult to maintain the previous level.
In the letter that Baron Shaka wrote to Romon, he briefly mentioned the source of his population, saying that he wanted to discuss with Romon and invite Romont to his castle as soon as possible.
For Romon at this time, this is definitely a good news.
"Of course it's good news!" But since it's good news, "Why don't you seem so happy?" After all, they are husband and wife, and Eleni can see at a glance the true mood of Romon .
Romon sat on the stone, the sea breeze blowing continuously, gently blowing his flowing hair back, and his angular handsome face looked a little cloudy.
"Mainly, there is a royal shadow behind Baron Shaka, what is their intention in pressing him here, is it just to contain the aristocratic power of this region? Especially. This Baron Shaka, from the very beginning, has intended to befriend me, and whether the purpose is as simple as establishing a foothold here, I can't judge now. ”
"It's useless to think too much, though, is it?" Eleni took his hand and squeezed it gently. "In everything, just take your time. ”
"Yes, Madame has a point. Romon smiled and looked at Elenie.
Eleni may not be a perfect wife, but at least she is a gentle wife, and the serene demeanor and soft eyes that she often has always calmed his mood.
In this world, if there is such a wife, what more can you ask for?
Just, all of a sudden. Romon thought of Suo again, how was her life in the kingdom of Delanya?
The child is seven months old. Maybe I should take a look at it myself.
As soon as the sea breeze blew, Romon came back to his senses.
"Well, we should go back too, I'm sorry, my dear, I said I'd stay with you a little longer, but I'm going to see Baron Shaka later, so I'll have to wait a little later. Romon said apologetically to Yinglini.
"Don't tell me I'm sorry. We are husband and wife, and we have made vows before God. Eleanne looked at Romon with a smile: "I will always support you, stand by your side, whether you succeed or not." It doesn't matter if you are poor or rich, until we reach the kingdom of God
"Yes!" Romon laughed as well.
Then, the two of them rode together on a horse and headed towards Rock Town.
When she arrived in town, Eleni found a suit for Romon to travel and entertain, and watched him ride in a carriage, accompanied by the guards, towards Baron Shaka's domain.
In the carriage, Romon had been thinking about Baron Shaka, and by the time he arrived at Baron Shaka's temporary foothold, the castle they had finally captured, it was already dark.
Baron Shaka had been waiting outside the castle for a long time, and when he saw Romon coming, he immediately greeted him.
Romon was very happy to see him. The two barons entered the castle.
At the invitation of Baron Shaka, Romon spent the night here, and at the same time, the two of them had a good conversation at dinnertime.
I have to say that the people who come from the royal city will enjoy it, looking at the exquisite plates placed in front of them. Luo Meng's heart suddenly rose a little touch.
These plates. All of them are beautifully made silverware, and on each plate, there are incomparably exquisite patterns, and some are drawn with pictures of birds and beasts, and these plates are naturally used to hold meat.
And some of the saucers draw very beautiful landscapes and plants, and these saucers are filled with vegetables, fruits, and ping-pong. There are also jars with pictures of the celebration of the gods and the peoples, and the inside are filled with fine liquor.
Romon enjoyed his meal. While observing the patterns, consciously or unconsciously. The more I look at it, the more I feel that the other party will enjoy it.
Lord Baron Turtacho. "Suddenly. Baron Shaka, who was drinking, called out to him, and when Romon looked up, he saw Baron Shaka gently lowering his fine wine glass.
Recalling what the other party had mentioned in the letter, Romon suddenly moved in his heart and came.
"I think we all have a consensus, that is, to win the stunned population, and the key to the population, first of all, is to fight piracy and open the shipping route" The shipping route is opened, and the population problem will be solved. ”
Sure enough, Baron Shaka mentioned what he had said in his letter, and Romon listened attentively, and as he listened, he thought about his thoughts in his heart.
Baron Shaka told Romon some of his thoughts one by one, whether these were his thoughts or the thoughts of the royal family behind him, Romon did not know.
In short, the other party put forward a series of ideas, among which, the core idea is to develop the road. Fight pirates and open the way. Absorb the homeless.
In his words, although Ben's demonic disaster has subsided, the disaster is still going on in other parts of the mainland, and countless refugees have nowhere to go, which is very pitiful.
If you can open up the sea route at this time, you can get some refugees.
"Moreover, the royal family is also interested in building a fleet base nearby, and wants to obtain the right of entry to your Voyage Town, and of course, in exchange for obtaining royal craftsmen to build a shipyard. ”
It turned out that the other party took a fancy to it. It was the excellent Shenzhen Hong Kong that Luo Meng obtained, Luo Meng thought about it for a while, and felt that this method was quite feasible, and the key was the issue of sovereignty.
He asked tentatively: "What does the right of entry to Hong Kong include?"
"Baron Tetashaw, rest assured, all your rights. There will be no reduction, the port will still belong to you and will be managed by you, but you will ensure the repair and replenishment of the fleet into the port. ”
This condition is indeed not demanding, and it can also stimulate the economic development of the territory, Luo Meng thought about it, and agreed: "Baron Shaka, it actually has His Majesty's will, so." I'll do my bidding!"
Hear Romon say that. Baron Shaka's originally frowning brows suddenly relaxed: "I knew that Baron Tetashaw would definitely agree." Also, if you are willing to participate, His Majesty will give you the number of the fleet. ”
"Oh? I am willing to serve Your Majesty. Luo Meng's heart moved, now he has five ships, and with the number, he can also organize a fleet, which is a good thing.
