Alfred in the maelstrom ushered in a busy peak. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Since news of the new diocese that the moor had filled the wilderness, this was already the third guest that Augustus had received in his study, from Viscount Constance between the domains of Stuart and Christopher.

Constance is a handsome middle-aged man with two elegant mustaches, and his conversation and demeanor exude just the right amount of bookishness, coupled with his subtle smile from beginning to end, it is difficult not to have a good impression, especially after seeing too many selfish, cunning, and cruel aristocratic faces in the wasteland, Augustus almost felt that this frank and reserved Viscount Constance was basically the noblest nobleman in the wasteland on the surface.

But good feelings are good feelings, to say that it is impossible to be close to or even trust Constance because of this, Augustus is very clear that this viscount who was a staunch vassal of Sauron in the past, after Sauron suffered a drastic change later, he immediately expressed a very implicit friendship to his neighbor Stuart, of course, if this is helpless, for the survival of the family, Constance can only deal with it flexibly, then subsequently' Inadvertently discovering the whereabouts of several of Sauron's sworn friends, and assisting Stuart in encircling and eradicating them, is enough to see how flexible this Viscount Constance is.

From the friendship with the Earl of Alfred, that is, Augustus's father, to the remembrance and deep apologies for the attack, Viscount Constance has been sitting in Augustus's study for at least an hour without leaving a trace, and then he also noticed that he still did not seem to have the intention of coming, Augustus first looked at the sky outside, and then finally reminded with a smile: "By the way, Viscount, in addition to expressing concern for Alfred Castle this time, did you also have good news?" You should know that Alfred needed good news more than dwelling on the sufferings of the past. ”

It was not that Constance was impatient, and if Constance had been received before news of the new diocese had spread, Augustus would have welcomed Constance with his warmest attitude.

But the question is, is it still necessary? Is it necessary for lions to be patient with antelopes?

Alfred, who had Donald's friendship at this time, was indeed a lion for the Constance family, which was in a second-rate position in the wasteland.

Constance was still smiling, who would have thought that Alfred, who was almost on the verge of extinction two months ago, would become the biggest giant in just two months?

Especially considering that all this was brought about by the young man in front of him, he had to show his sincerity, he smiled, stroked his elegant beard, and nodded: "The news I brought may not be too good for you, is it so, Lord Earl, that group of lowly commoners who have stayed in your territory recently and refused to leave must have caused you great distress, right?" I must pay tribute to your great heart for taking in these civilians free of charge, and since some of them have been left behind from Constance's territory, Constance certainly needs to share your burden. ”

Not surprisingly, it was still material support, after all, people who were not stupid in the wasteland could see that Alfred was in dire need of help at this time.

Augustus smiled brightly: "Thank you for your friendship, this is indeed my biggest headache at the moment, and to be honest, I almost want to sell Alfred Castle." After a pause, this not too funny joke After both sides smiled kindly, Augustus said frankly: "But Viscount, I want to know how much pressure you intend to share with me? ”

"Enough food for 3,000 people a week. Constance chuckled, as if the supplies were not worth mentioning to him.

It's a big deal.

The question is, is Constance really that rich?

Augustus was a little surprised, compared to the first three guests, this viscount was too arrogant, and he was a little puzzled for a moment by such a degree of generosity of the other party. But soon it dawned on him that he had to thank Stuart, and it seemed that Constance, who was too close to Stuart, had to be particularly arrogant because of the hatred between Alfred and Stuart.

Augustus smiled sincerely: "Your generous friendship, Alfred will remember." ”

Constance, who sat upright, seemed to have a habit of stroking his beard, and he smiled without a trace: "I would prefer to exchange this friendship for your acceptance in the near future, when Constance will give more, even if it is loyalty." ”

That's a bit explicit.

However, when it comes to the establishment of a new diocese in the near future, Augustus can roughly understand it.

But he didn't speak.

Loyal?

This kind of thing is like the chastity of a prostitute, the promise of a businessman, the oath of a nobleman, you can only take it as a joke.

Augustus, who had received three guests in the past few days, ignored Constance's temptation and smiled heartily: "At that time, Alfred will definitely not refuse. ”

A pleasant conversation for both guests and hosts.

......

Next, Augustus, who had finalized the specific delivery process of the materials, sent Viscount Constance away, and handed over the specific amount of materials to old Vernon, who soon took them to a study that had to be carved out and handed them over to Elizabeth and Sophia for distribution.

Augustus really hasn't rejected these days and was still gloating two months ago. The friendship shown by the leaders of the second-rate families who were waiting for Alfred's demise was not that they were not worried that once the new diocese disappeared for a long time, these families might have a joint counterattack, but the problem was that it was useless to worry, after Young Master Arthras made a decision for him, even if he denied the news, these nobles who had been suspicious as early as the appearance of the Knights Cathar would not believe his words, and could only think that Alfred did not accept their friendship, and trembled even more- So simply, Augustus also followed Artelas's 'good intentions', and as for the possible subsequent backlash, it can only be left for later, in this regard, Augustus has never been a hesitant person.

Then the study was finally quiet, and Augustus went on with the work at hand.

In the past few days, he has been improving and modifying the next management measures for the territory, wanting to overthrow Alfred's previous pyramid-style rule and create his ideal of Alfred as the core of the royal court, centralized rule, and the fastest way to make Alfred enter the road of rise, of course, he needs to reformulate a new concept of governance, you know, any detail of the political system, economic system, defense system, knight management measures, etc., will determine the success or failure of his ideal royal court, so this is undoubtedly a vast and cumbersome work, especially the professionalism in it, which can only be expanded by Augustus。

Fortunately, the experience brought by his previous life provided him with a lot of reference at this time.

He picked up the quill pen, dipped it in ink, and after a moment's thought, continued to write on the paper before Constance came:

In terms of the Knights, the knight reserve is retained, but in view of the current serious situation of Alfred's replacement knights, and the situation that the real knights and the replacement knights are basically confused, the Alfred family, including the knights in each territory, will be completely abolished, and the 'Purple Iris Knights' will be re-established, requiring that the fighting strength must be level 5, which is a hard rule and cannot be changed.

Knights are noble but not expensive, which is the fundamental concept of Augustus to create the 'Purple Iris Knights', even if the real knights he currently has are 30 people sent by Donald except for Katieeni.

In terms of economy, the right of each town to operate independently and collect taxes on its own was abolished, and Alfred set the tax in a unified manner, and the finance office of each town no longer retained it.

......

And just as Augustus, who was busy, was laying out the general outline of the system that needed to be drawn up one by one, the old butler quietly appeared, saying that Miss Terrina had woken up.

Augustus immediately put down the quill in his hand, the past few days have been in a state of sleep in a state of Térina is definitely the one thing he is most worried about, he left the desk, walked out of the study and walked directly to his room, and then pushed the door, at a glance saw the little face of Terina sitting on the bed was confused, at least look at Augustus for 1 minute before finally showing a familiar smile and opening his arms.

Augustus, who naturally understood, smiled the same, sat on the bed, and he gently gave Terina a hug, without speaking.

Lying on his chest, Terina's tone was rare and soft, and she said softly: "Augustus, the little devil has woken up, she has come to snatch the dominance of the body, I am so afraid that I will never wake up if I fall asleep again." ”
