Wayne almost thought he had misheard, but seeing Boris's playful smile, he knew it wasn't an auditory hallucination. The fists are clenched, and the green tendons bulge.

Gritted his teeth.

"Count Boris, do you know what that means?"

Boris shrugged, as if he didn't care about the lives.

"This was my mistake and I deeply regret it. ”

As he spoke, Boris showed a sad look between his eyebrows, as if he was really mourning.

Wayne really felt like he was about to lose his fist. Boris killed the merchants, and there was nothing he could do. Because Boris is a count, a title that has been inherited for thousands of years. Even he can't be easily shaken!

He used his knighthood advantage to successfully trick Wayne.

"Then we can move on to the next topic, Count Nils. ”

Boris looked directly at Wayne.

"Yes. ”

Wayne almost squeezed the word out between his teeth.

"This time I'm still on that proposal, I think Brendan is no longer suitable for a position in the guard and should be fired. ”

.....

The parliament then passed without waves. Wayne had intended to kick that mad dog Eric out of the guard. But the situation has changed abruptly, and now that Eric's is kicked, Boris will definitely come up with a more crazy guy.

And this time Boris will pay a dearly price for him to break the rules of the game again.

The trade war of the merchants quickly worked.

Lords from all over the world received letters from their families one after another. Some are short of food, some are short of salt, some are coal, and so on.

For a while, the nobles couldn't figure out what was going on.

On the contrary, the higher the title, the less affected the territory is.

Boris and Cologne, for example, started kicking businessmen out of the business early on and running them with their own families. These people wouldn't follow Wayne's orders, so they didn't care at first.

"Stari, the family can't hold on. We've been out of salt for four days, and now the territory is full of untouchable untouchability. ”

Stari looked at his cousin who came with a dark face, and it was conceivable that his work must not be easy. There is no way to be like him, a little viscount, who has no extra money to support idlers.

"I don't know how to buy salt, I remember we used to go to Nils to buy salt. Why is there no salt, could it be that Niels has no salt either?"

Stani was very strange, he had not encountered this situation when he was in the territory in the past, how could he come as soon as he left.

The cousin said eagerly with a sad face.

"It's not that Nils is out of salt, it's that those merchants don't buy it, and even ship the salt out, and even the stock is gone!"

Stani frowned.

"No, doesn't the family have a salt storehouse, it should be able to slow down for a few days. ”

"Brother Stari, have you forgotten? You sold your family's salt depot to the merchants, and they emptied it. ”

Only then did Stari remember that one day he mortgaged the salt depot in order to be chic. Thinking about it, he didn't know how much he had mortgaged.

Hurriedly asked.

"In addition to the salt storehouse, what else did the family mortgage. ”

The cousin looked at Stani in a daze, his mouth wide open, not knowing what to say. Stari doesn't know what he's selling, which means he's not trying to revitalize the family. Otherwise, he would have remembered exactly what he had sold.

Brother Jin, disappointment and confusion came to my heart.

Muttered.

"Ten years of taxation, Gusta long road, armor ....."

As the cousin read it out one by one, Stari was gradually filled with regret. For the sake of momentary chic, I lost so many things. It can be said that he is now left with an empty shell in the territory.

He suddenly thought of the purging of the merchants in the past few days, and at this time, the revenge of the Count of Niels?

This is not the only case, almost all nobles under the duke have encountered similar problems. The territory is disrupted, and the family calls for help.

"Count Boris, I am in dire need of food in my territory, I wonder if you can help. ”

"Count Cologne, I really don't have any food in stock. In a few days, there will really be a riot. ”

"Duke Langton, can't you be accommodating?"

.....

Everyone didn't expect Wayne's counterattack to be so swift and ruthless.

Even Boris began to regret it a little, and then he thought about his confidence. The look of hesitation immediately became firm. If you didn't push Wayne on your own, you didn't do it. He can also further control the nobility, and it is good that the problem will explode early.

That being said, the root cause is still not solved.

Now he is reluctant, and he can only transfer the materials that were originally used in the war to support these teammates who are a headache for him.

"Pass my orders, and now at all costs, support Sman, Dave, and Heyman. ”

The staff kindly reminded.

"In this case, Lord Earl, your plans to expand your army will come to a halt. ”

Boris said dissatisfied.

"I don't know, look at what these people's territories are messing up into, if not, we may be defeated before we start fighting. ”

Then the messenger at the door ran in.

"Lord Earl, Earl Cologne, Duke Langton is here. ”

Boris paused and straightened his clothes.

"Brother Boris, no, Hawke, they just came to me and said that their territory was short of food and salt. If we don't support it, there will be a riot. But now that we are expanding our army, how can we have so many supplies!"

Cologne's face was full of urgency.

Boris said lightly.

"Before you came, they found me. I've just given the order to support them. ”

Langton's eyes lit up.

"Lord Earl, you still have extra supplies. ”

Boris shook his head.

"No, they were originally used to expand the army. Now we can't sell cotton, where is the money. ”

Langton's face collapsed.

"Lord Earl, you even used all these supplies to support them, if Wayne's kid really..."

Langton didn't say what anyone wanted to hear.

Boris said.

"If we don't support it anymore, these people's territories will immediately be in chaos, and all the viscounts and barons will be gone. When the time comes, these people will definitely fall to Wayne's side, and before the war starts, we will lose a large part of the territory!"

The words have been made clear, Boris pointed out that they must support, otherwise they will lose even worse.

Coren wants teeth.

"Brother Boris is right, now is not the time to be distressed. But Brother Boris, some people's territories are not connected to us at all, what should we do?"

"There can be a few of them, and it doesn't matter if they come to Wayne. ”

The Northwest nobles were overjoyed when they learned that Wayne had fought back. They have completely taken Wayne's side, so to speak, life and death together. Of course they were happy that Wayne would be able to win.

Although he defected to Wayne, he may well become a puppet. But the good thing is that you can have fun and spend all day drinking. Don't worry about all that bullshit anymore. They all regretted not coming to Wayne sooner.
