Nader and Elizabeth drove the carriage to Rome, and Jonas on the other side, after discussing with his cousin to no avail, chose to wait and see what happened, and sent Andreas back to the classroom, Jonas walked back to his office step by step, he is now riddled with everything, even if he is worried about the safety of his teacher, but there are more important, matters related to the people around Jonas need to be dealt with by himself.

This may be more related to Jonas's own character, as long as he encounters difficulties, Jonas's approach is not like many great people, who like to face difficulties and be indomitable, but will choose to retreat bravely and wait for the opportunity, so after ordering Doron to go to Ruger's territory to investigate the situation, Jonas began to deal with all kinds of things sent by his own Dididora and the Rio knights.

Sitting back in his seat, Jonas took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, quietly smoothed out his somewhat restless state, and then kept reminding himself in his heart, Jonas, every document you will face now is a matter of life and death for hundreds, or even thousands, and never do what you want because of your feelings, calm down and deal with it well.

After a few back and forth, Jonas's mentality finally returned to a relatively calm state, although there are still waves rolling in the heart, but it is not suitable for surfing, and it can be restored to this state of mind in such a short time, Jonas's own ability to hold on can also be seen.

"Teacher Nader, may God bless you with eternal health. ”

After the last prayer, Jonas quickly picked up the first letter on the side of the collapsed letter and began to read the instructions, most of these letters were sent by the Rio knights, only a few were from Dididora and Kadir, and most of the letters sent by the Rio knights were about the attitude of the Rio knights towards the nobles near the Bierro territory towards the Earl of Il.

In Piedmont, although the dark tide is turbulent underneath, but on the surface it is still a calm place, but recently it has been stirred up by the fact that the Count of Il defeated his brother and became the Count of Montferrato, which has not happened in the Sassu region for hundreds of years, and the three counties composed of this land have never been unified in the true sense, but have always been controlled by the surrounding powers like puppets.

So after the glorious image of the Earl of Il spread to this land, even ordinary people began to talk about it, for those of them who lived at the lowest level, it was none of their business, anyway, no matter who became their lord, they still had to endure heavy labor, pay high taxes, and then live a life that is not as good as a dog.

But this time it was different, people living in Piedmont, as long as they knew a little bit about history, even if they had only heard their mother's stories in the past, also know that the people of the three divided lands of Piedmont, Saluzzo, and Monferrato had to pay not only a tax to their lord and a tithe to the Holy See every year, but also to pay another sum of money in the form of protection money to their lord's protectors, which for those who were just digging in the fields, they had to pay three taxes a year.

And the appearance of Il gave them hope, two taxes are much easier than three taxes, for them at the bottom, although the black steamed bun is still a black steamed bun, but they can finally eat enough, which is much stronger than not being full, so for whether the Earl of Il will march on Piedmont next, the people at the bottom are of course very curious and looking forward to this.

And their masters, that is, those who really have brains, are much more ambiguous in their attitude towards this matter, according to the information provided by Rio and his current lover, there are less than four cities who have a favorable impression of Earl Il, and among them, less than half of them are willing to support Earl Il's march into Piedmont, which can be said to be simply negligible.

Jonas didn't feel much surprise when he saw this situation, he believed that there must be more people among them who hoped that Earl Earl could unify the Susa region, after all, for these nobles, they must also be more interested in putting the interests held by their own people on themselves, rather than using them to curry favor with their masters, however, these shrewd nobles are still looking forward to whether Earl Il has the strength to unify Susa.

And how to let these nobles let go of the doubts in their hearts, let go of the awe of those dukes, so as to unite around the Earl of Il, and form a group with combat effectiveness, this is what Jonas needs to do next, and after that, how much power he can have in this group, it can also be said that he will have a position in the entire team of Il.

Thinking of these factors, even Jonas, who has no yearning for power, can't help but quickly concentrate his spirit, he doesn't like politics, it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand politics, living in the era of the big explosion of science and technology, but also living in the historical history of China's Jonas, but for all kinds of palace fights in China for five thousand years, party struggles can be said to know a little bit about politics, and he has his sensitivity.

After thinking about it for a long time, Nader finally replied to the letter to Rio, the content of the letter was very simple, in the final analysis, the knight just hoped that Rio could use his current lover to help him arrange a secret meeting with the surrounding lords, no matter the location, the form, it can be arranged by the other party, as long as you can meet alone and give yourself a period of time, and among them, there is only one requirement, that is, to start with a nobleman who has a steel trade with Billo.

Don't underestimate the steel trade, although under the auspices of Jonas, it has only been carried out for a short period of two months, but the income can be said to be quite considerable, especially after receiving the financial support of the Diro Fimir family, with the support of a large number of special funds, Jonas's steel factory has adjusted the share of the steel trade with the surrounding neighbors by nearly 50% in one go, which has greatly increased the income of the surrounding lords, and of course, it has also made them more dependent on Jonas himself.

As for Jonas himself, although he suffered a part of the loss, in the face of greater political interests, he only paid less than one-tenth of the funds provided by Kuangke, and what he gained was the favor of most nobles towards him.

Just like now, as long as Jonas wants to have talks with them, these nobles who have taken Jonas's benefits will never refuse without even seeing Jonas's face, after all, they are now enjoying the high-quality services provided by Jonas, so that they can claim their benefits more easily but more profitably than before, and under such trade relations, it will be easier for Jonas to carry out some secret diplomacy than Earl Il thinks.

Government affairs were quickly solved one by one under Jonas's high efficiency, and now Jonas is no longer like when he first came here, he is not familiar with the place, and if he did not have Doron around him at that time, a person who is familiar with Bierro's territory, he would not have a way to deal with political affairs.

And now, he can handle all the affairs of the entire territory by himself, and even in terms of the new policies he proposes, the land snakes, such as Dididora and the people of Eagle Castle, have begun to ask him, so now Jonas can be said to be very handy in handling things.

It can also be said that at this moment, Billo is already a territory that really belongs to Jonas, without him, this land will not be able to operate normally, which may also be the reason why many townspeople in Cangsong Town feel hope, there has never been a lord who can be so popular and one, and such a person is now born, and this territory, unconsciously, was integrated by Jonas and formed a state of community.

"Knock knock. ”

Just when Jonas was working hard, the office door rang inopportunely, but Jonas didn't even pause, but continued to write down his own treatment of the mine closure and follow-up things, which is another reflection on the re-reform of the Eagle Castle work organization, for the original resources, Jonas after learning about the practices of the later generations of American imperialists, he very much agreed with this.

Use other people's resources, hide their own resources tightly, wait until the war era or a state of emergency, and use them as protection resources in peacetime, and do not allow mining, so that the country's resources can be relatively rich in storage, so as not to run out of food at a critical moment.

Jonas can be said to be quite appreciative of this approach, so in the face of the future development of the smelter in Eagle Castle, he wrote some opinions to send to Digar, and now he can be said to be full of brainpower, and he doesn't pay much attention to the knock on the door.

Besides, the person who can knock on his door at this time is Dididora, and now Doron is helping him investigate the news about Teacher Nader in Luger's territory, and he doesn't have time to drink tea and chat with him, and Diddidora is busy running up and down for his own agricultural reform, appeasing the masses and harmonizing you, me and him, and he won't come to the office to have a tea party with Jonas at all.

Except for these two people who can communicate with Jonas politically, the only other people who will knock on the door at this moment are the servants who change the ice, it is summer, so the ice melts quickly, and within two hours, the servants need to take some new ice cubes from the ice cellar and put them in the basin that has been turned into a jar of water, so that the room can be kept at a relatively low temperature.

It can be said that Billo is close to the Alps, otherwise if he uses ice at such a speed as Jonas, he would really have to worry about Doron's hair turning white.

And these servants don't need to get Jonas's order to come in after knocking on the door, but after knocking on the door, they will wait two or three minutes to open them softly, and quietly change the ice, and even if Jonas concentrates on political affairs, he will not notice that there is a person in his office who has entered.

Some people may say how is it possible, it's not very rude to do this, what if Jonas is doing some private things at this moment, isn't he seen by this servant who suddenly broke in, if you think so, it is wrong, in this era, whether a servant can be regarded as a human being, but it is an indefinite thing, and in the face of a servant who is not even a human in the eyes of the aristocracy, what can he do when he enters and is peeped into privacy?

Would you care if your pet enters your house without your permission?

So Jonas didn't pay attention at all, but put all his energy into what he was writing and wrote hard, but when Jonas finished writing this letter about the future development of the smelter, twenty minutes later, he realized that no new ice cubes had been added to the basin with ice cubes, and he realized that something was wrong.

"Why is it that no one comes in after knocking on the door?"

Jonas was a little confused, could it be that he had just had auditory hallucinations? Impossible, he had just heard someone knocking on the door, how could there be no one? At this moment, Jonas had just written out a plan with his brain, and in the face of the current strange scene, he suddenly couldn't turn a corner.

"Hey, is there anyone out there?"

After asking this question, Jonas felt a little stupid, even if there was a knock on the door just now, twenty minutes have passed by now, and the person has long since left, now is the hottest season of the year, it can be regarded as catching the tail of summer, who would stand in a place without air conditioning for so long.

Now I am asking this question, who else can answer me outside except the attendants on duty.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Viscount, may I come in now?"

Unexpectedly, Jonas's meaningless inquiry was answered by a voice that did not belong to the attendant, Jonas clearly heard that the voice was a feeling that he was not very familiar with, it seemed very immature, but it was very loud, Jonas couldn't help but feel ashamed in his heart, he had left people outside for a long time.

"Please come in. “

Jonas hurriedly said to the office door, as soon as he finished speaking, the wooden door was opened very quickly, and a small figure walked in from behind the wooden door.

It's none other than Frederick's little friend, who came to Bierrow yesterday, and at this moment he is closing the door very closely, and his whole face is sweating profusely, and as soon as he comes in, he breathes a very cool breath for him, and looks very comfortable. (To be continued.) )
