Chapter 247: Conspiracy
"What, uncle, do you want to turn Genaya into a feudal domain?"
Ji Ke never thought that Rocodor's ambition would be even greater than his own, he not only wanted to get the highest rights of Genaya himself, but also let future generations be the ruler of Genaya, and also to become a hereditary nobleman, such an ambition is really terrifying. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"So what, what our family did for him is to destroy the family and betray the country, if it is just a vice president, our lives are too worthless, and the price of Genaya is too cheap, the price paid by Mr. Jung is not big, he only needs to promise me a knighthood on behalf of his master, and I will deal with the rest of the things myself, and I will not waste half of his energy! And he will be able to get my help, no matter how this business is counted, Jung and they earned it, what's so bad about that?"
Rocoduo said that even Jike on the side couldn't help but burn a raging flame in his heart, and the blood of Jike was boiling, Uncle Rocoduo was indeed right, his family just needed a title, neither did they need to send troops to support, nor did they need to spend money, on the contrary, as a vassal, his family would also help them afford military expenses and food, this deal was indeed a win-win situation.
Compared with a small vice president, the title of nobleman is indeed more reassuring to himself, after all, the world of nobles is completely different from other people's worlds, a nobleman wants to kill a rich merchant, except for his relatives, no one will cry and mourn for him, and killing a nobleman is possible to be removed from the nobles, and the two are not the same.
Besides, the property of a merchant will change with the quality of the heir, but even if the nobleman is born with a mentally handicapped person, he can enjoy the glory and wealth that the upper class deserves, and the children and grandchildren do not have to worry about the cowardice of the descendants and destroy the family business, which is undoubtedly super attractive to Jike, no way, who called Rocoduo's first heir is him, so for the sake of his descendants, it is naturally impossible for Jike not to be tempted.
But Jike is tempted, but he can't be as unscrupulous as Rocodor, and he says wildly, Jike has seen Jung, so compared to Rocodor, for Jung, Jike obviously has a deeper understanding, in his opinion, Jung is a person who values his reputation very important, and he doesn't think Jung will break his promise to those poor people, so as to support Rokodo to become the lord of Genaya.
"Uncle Rocodor, but Mr. Jung has already promised those untouchables the right to form a citizens' assembly, and if you want to become a nobleman, those untouchables will definitely not stand with us again and help Mr. Jung take the city of Genaya, then then, isn't it, all the work done is lost?"
Jike's words are very careful, Rocodo is a person who despises the poor extremely much, in his eyes, this is a group of bedbugs comparable to the existence of bed bugs in the underground waterways, so even if Jike does not look down on these poor people in his heart, he has to say the word untouchable to cater to Rocodor's heart.
"Promise, I've never heard of a day when nobles have fulfilled their promises to commoners, have you seen it? Anyway, he is the one who makes the rules, and it's not easy to change the rules, as for those untouchables?" Rocodor's tone was full of disdain, as if these two words came out of his mouth as if they were an insult to his mouth, so he couldn't help but pout, and then continued:
"When the time comes, as long as they invade the city, those untouchables will be of no use, and will they dare to resist in the presence of the army? Besides, this is just a bunch of rubbish who don't even know a word, and what kind of members of the citizens' assembly will be? Will the supreme body of the city be a place as noisy as a vegetable market? This is a ridiculous thing. ”
"Uncle, it is an extremely dangerous thing to stir up their desire and extinguish it, they are a group of people who have nothing to lose? The reason why they are willing to help Jung now is that Jung has given them the only hope that they can be masters and change their lives, and if this hope is extinguished, they will really have nothing. ”
In the face of his uncle's strong ambitions, Jike's heart did not dare to be as confident as Rocodor, he had led the army, and naturally knew that those poor people were not like Rokoduo thought only cowardice, ignorance, and submissiveness, if they were forced to hurry, cowardice would become despair with nothing to lose, ignorance would become a carnival with no bottom line, and if they were obedient, they would become terrorist warriors who fought back against the Jedi, and what could this group of people do, they must be more than ten times more ruthless than themselves.
"Hmph, hope, they also deserve hope?Jike, when did you become so merciful? Could it be that a defeat not only makes you lose completely in strength, but also can't get up mentally?"
Rocodo was obviously a little dissatisfied with Jike's remarks, and he couldn't help but have thorns in his words, sounding extremely uncomfortable.
"Uncle Rocodor, I am only urging you to be careful, Monsieur Jung's mind is by no means as narrow as you think, and his decision will not be easily overturned, or, if he is really willing to change his words for your help, will he abandon us as if we were poor people in your eyes?"
Rokodor's sarcasm made Jike's heart feel a little uncomfortable, the defeat in the battle and being humiliated by Jung, this was an unconcealable pain in his heart, even if Rocodo didn't know the situation at the time, but it sounded unusually harsh to Jike.
However, at this moment, since he has decided to put the danger of the family in the first step, other things are no longer important to him, even Rocodor's sarcasm, in Jike's opinion, has become insignificant, because in his heart, Rocodor's uncontrollable ambition at the moment is obviously the biggest threat to the family.
"Huh?" Gick's words finally touched Rocodor's blood-boiling brain, and the fact was indeed as Jik said, if that Jung was really a guy who went back on his word, then it was indeed not impossible for him to be thrown aside by that time.
The reason why he was able to make conditions with Jung was because he could help him enter Genoya more easily, if he came in at that time, then the dependence in his hands would not exist, and even on the contrary, those untouchables could still help them maintain law and order, and when the time came, they would have to choose a side from both of them, Rocodor's heart was calculating, and the result was obviously not in his favor.
This is something that Rocodo did not expect, he has long been accustomed to the deceit between merchants, and most of the dealings with those lords are with the stewards of those lords, as for how to communicate with the nobles, Rocoduo really has no experience, those nobles, not like Jonas, as if they got into the eyes of money.
For these people who were born with gold and silver wealth and hereditary status, it is obvious that other people's wives, fierce beasts in the forest, and slaughter on the battlefield are the three treasures that can make them happy.
Thinking about this, Roccodor's mouth stopped shouting, walked back to his desk, picked up the red wine on the table and drank it slowly, which can make his brain calm and calm, and don't lose his strength because of huge interests.
Jike looked at his uncle who distanced himself from him, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as Rocoduo hesitated, then according to Rocodor's original cautiousness, he would not say some shocking words, which is a thankful thing for Jike.
As soon as the pressure was relieved, the tense muscles of Jike's whole body just now suddenly relaxed, accompanied by a gust of cold wind soaking into the bone marrow, Jike couldn't help but sneeze, looked out the window, the sky was about to be dark, dark clouds shrouded the four fields, and a breath of decay suddenly shrouded the prosperous and peaceful land of Renaya.
Jike silently calculated the time in his heart, and suddenly felt a little anxious, Jung told them the time to attack, but at four o'clock in the morning today, the attack was on time, and now there is less than half a day left, if Rocodo does not agree again, then there will be no turn for the better, and at that time, even if they want to submit, there is no way out.
"Uncle Rocodor. Jike swallowed, his body trembled twice to warm up his body temperature, and was ready to work harder so that Rocodo could agree to his opinion and give up his impossible claims, but as soon as he opened his mouth to call his name, Rocodo spoke first.
"The title of nobility cannot be changed, and the free city of Genaya is my fiefdom cannot be changed at all. Rocodo said word by word, he also has his principles that cannot be abandoned, being a nobleman, this is something he has always dreamed of doing, and now, there is such an opportunity in front of him, if he wants Rocodo to give up, it makes him more uncomfortable than killing him, even if there is a risk, Rocodo is not willing to give in.
Rocodor's words are categorical, but listening to Jike's heart is like falling into the abyss, okay, he has said so many words in vain, and his uncle, who is usually cautious and shrewd, is now a ghost and doesn't listen to any persuasion.
"However, Jung does not need to be dishonest to those lowly and poor people, as long as he makes me the lord of Genaya, I am willing to give up the executive, legislative and part of the military power of Genaya as a lord, and let the people's assembly take over, so that Jung's promise can be fulfilled, this is my request. Rocodo said softly.
"This, uncle, this. Jike was dumbfounded when he heard this, what Rocodo said, Jike had never heard of any lord doing that before, besides, if Rocoduo became a nobleman, he really gave up so many rights according to what he said, then what motivation did this nobleman have.
"Uncle, your addiction to being a nobleman is really big~'
"Why, do you think that your uncle and I might as well just take the position of vice president, what I'm doing now is completely for the title of nobleman, eh?" said the old god Rocodor, looking at his nephew obliquely, and saw that Jike lowered his head as if he had been told something in his heart, and let out a heavy 'hum' sound in his nose, as if his nose was blocked, and said:
"I'm right, but yes, you're right, the title of nobility is indeed a title that fascinates me for me, even if it's just an empty shell. But the reason why I did this was not just for the sake of fame.
I think you should know how hard it is for us merchants to deal with the aristocracy, and even if we give them more gold and silver treasures, we can't let the high-ranking ones look down on us, and even the low-spirited ones sometimes even worse than I do with the poor.
In their eyes, we businessmen are just making black money, and in comparison, our status is much lower than that of those poor people, at least they are still obedient, aren't they?
But if we have this aristocratic status, then we belong to the same class as them, and even if they disdain our status, when our invitations are handed to their doorsteps, they can no longer be thrown into the trash can without looking at them, but must invite us into their courtyards and talk to us, Jik, do you know what that means?"
Rokoduo smiled, and without waiting for Jike to speak, he said to himself: "This means that we will be able to bypass those hateful and shrewd stewards in the future, and directly chat with those high-ranking nobles to obtain the greatest benefits! Believe me, this will make our family's strength unprecedentedly developed, so I only need the title of this nobleman, and I can give up all the rights in it." “
"That's my bottom line, a title of nobility, if you can't even agree to that, Gik, and forgive me for not being able to promise Mr. Jung to help him. “
In fact, in Rocodor's heart, the other use of this title is even more important, but Rocodo did not tell Jike.
"It's not something I can call the shots, Uncle Rocodor, only Mr. Jung can answer your question. “
Jike said that Rocodor's explanation had deeply moved him, and according to Rocodor, this condition was indeed feasible to a great extent, so Jike's mouth couldn't help but loosen up, and he no longer had the oil and salt as he had just been.
"Oh, well, then you should go and meet Mr. Jung now. (To be continued.) )
