Chapter 268: Receiving Territory

readx;

Rainbow Town, bathed in the morning light, is quiet and serene. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wisps of smoke rose from the small town on the outskirts of the empire, and on both sides of the street, shops had just opened, men yawned as they prepared for the day's work, and a few children chased a wild dog into the town, and there were few pedestrians on the road.

The rhythm of the town and Shengjing is obviously different, and time has slowed down significantly, and the townspeople are leisurely and comfortable, without the busyness of Yanjing residents.

A carriage was parked at the door of the town's teahouse escorted by two samurai, and the attendant standing at the door quickly helped carry the horses and carriage to the vacant seats next to him, and his thoughtfulness earned him a reward of silver coins.

For this generous samurai, the waiter recognized at a glance that he had a new guest who had arrived here yesterday afternoon, and he clearly remembered that he had brought with him a beautiful young lady.

And this time, not only was the beautiful young lady still there, but there were also three more young and beautiful maidens with their own faces, and when they got out of the carriage, the well-informed attendants were dumbfounded.

The waiter secretly guessed with envy in his heart, and the shock of the beauty made him ignore the conspicuous tulip emblem of the carriage, and respectfully led the group into the teahouse.

Han Fei's impression of this Madame Theresa teahouse is quite good, especially the delicious black tea and cake are definitely full of praise, of course, he didn't bring Han Bixuan and the others here to have breakfast for a second time.

Han Fei had just come from the town guard in Rainbow Town, and the guard at the gate told him that at this time, the town mayor, Baron Charlotte, the town tax collector, and the captain of the town guard, would all have breakfast in the teahouse.

Although it was morning, the business of the teahouse was still very good, and there were not many vacant places just like when Han Fei came yesterday afternoon, and the guests seemed to be the same group, and in which Han Fei saw a face that was not unfamiliar - the nasty Baron Hadley.

The other party happened to be sitting in front of the door, so when Han Fei came in, he also saw Han Fei, and his face immediately sank, and then turned into extremely surprised.

Han Bixuan, Han Wei'er, Han Xin'er and Han Jingshan, the four beauties followed behind Han Fei like stars and moons, no matter which one of them was undoubtedly the focus of attention, and now they are gathered together and don't make people look straight?

As for Han Tianqing, who fell last, he was completely ignored.

Baron Hadley fell on Han Fei's gaze, his eyes were red and jealous, but this time he didn't dare to make trouble again, because the mayor of the town, Baron Charlotte, was sitting at another table next to him.

The arrival of Han Fei and the others caused quite a stir in the small teahouse, and almost all the guests came over, and Mrs. Theresa greeted Han Fei with surprise.

"Good morning, my lord, beautiful young ladies, please sit here!" she greeted politely.

"You sit down first and taste the black tea here, it's very good!" Han Fei smiled and said to Han Bixuan and the others, "I'll go and say hello to others." ”

Of course, this time he came to Rainbow Town to officially take over his territory, originally the Tulip Collar belonged to the name of the royal family, and a team of guards was stationed in Rainbow Town, and the mayor of Rainbow Town was the identity of the caretaker, so Han Fei definitely had to find Baron Charlotte to complete the final procedures, and I believe that the other party had already gotten the news and was waiting for his arrival.

He actually didn't want to make it so eye-catching, but Han Wei'er, Han Xin'er and Han Jingshan all wanted to see Rainbow Town and Tulip Castle, but they couldn't resist their soft words and begged each other, so they all brought them over, anyway, this will be their home in the future.

"Your Excellency Baron Charlotte, may I sit down here?" Han Fei walked over and stopped at Baron Charlotte's table, bowed a little and asked with a smile.

At this tea table, in addition to Baron Charlotte, there was also a sturdy knight with a stubble face and a middle-aged man with black hair who was supposed to be the captain of the town guard and the tax collector.

"Of course, welcome!" said Baron Charlotte, surprised, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

The tea table was not big, the four of them sat around just right, Mrs. Theresa delivered the black tea in time, and before Han Fei could take a sip, Baron Charlotte suddenly said, "If I guess correctly, Your Excellency must be the new lord of our Tulip Collar, Lord Han Fei, right?"

His voice was not loud, but in this small teahouse, almost everyone could hear it clearly, and suddenly there was silence.

The knight and the middle-aged man sitting next to Baron Charlotte were taken aback, and couldn't help but stand up and look at Han Fei in surprise.

"That's right, I'm Han Fei, I'm here to take over the territory today..."Han Fei smiled: "Please forgive me for hiding my identity yesterday, I originally went to the town guard to look for you, but I still found here." ”

As he spoke, Han Fei showed off his tulip badge.

Baron Charlotte carefully examined the badge, stood up and saluted, "Your Excellency Han Fei, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

The knight and the middle-aged man no longer had any doubts, and saluted in unison: "I have seen the lord!"

There was another sensation in the teahouse, everyone present had already known that Tulip Collar and Rainbow Town had a new lord, but they didn't expect Han Fei to be so young.

Baron Charlotte introduced the knight and the middle-aged man, the two were the captain of the guard, Renadeka and the tax officer, Su Yang, and taking advantage of this opportunity, the baron who had been in charge of Rainbow Town for decades also introduced the people in the teahouse to Han Fei one by one.

So the teahouse breakfast became a meeting with the lords, and this was exactly what Han Fei wanted, I really didn't know if I didn't know him, there were quite a lot of nobles in this small rainbow town, and there were a lot of barons and lords, and a few of them belonged to the famous families in Shengjing.

These nobles have lived in Rainbow Town for a long time, most of them are in the town for retirement or vacation, they all have their own villas in the town, they belong to the leading figures in the town, and the relationship between them is complicated, so it is necessary to have a good relationship with these people, as long as they do not violate their own interests, Han Fei is happy to establish a good friendship with them.

And Han Fei's polite and polite attitude also made these nobles very impressed, and they all stepped forward to get to know Han Fei and talk, only the Baron Hadley quietly left with his entourage with a gloomy face.

"Baron Hadley is not an ordinary person, he is a very high-status one of the direct descendants of the Roa Dekai family..."On the way out of the teahouse to the town guard, Baron Charlotte, who was walking side by side with Han Fei, kindly reminded: "He came to Rainbow Town three years ago to settle down, but most of the time he stayed in Shengjing, but he has hardly left the town in the past six months. ”

"As far as I can tell, the Royadekai family seems to be interested in tulip collars. ”

"Thank you for the reminder..."Han Fei glanced at the other party meaningfully, and asked tentatively, "Baron Charlotte, your familiarity with the Tulip Collar is a valuable asset, I would like to invite you to serve as the deacon of the territory and continue to serve as the mayor of the town, what do you think?"

From the information provided by Han Wuguo, Han Fei learned that the identity of this Baron Charlotte was quite unusual, he had a certain relationship with the royal family, and he was even more respected in Rainbow Town, and under his management, Rainbow Town was also in order, safe, and powerful.

If such a person can be recruited, it will be very beneficial to the operation of Han Fei's new territory, after all, his pursuit is not to be a successful lord, and it is impossible to devote too much time and energy to the territory.

"This," Baron Charlotte mused, "thank you, Lord Lord, for your kindness, but..."

The so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, this principle is applicable everywhere, the new lord is on the throne, and the position of his subordinates is naturally filled by his own cronies, especially such an important position as a deacon is generally impossible for an outsider to hold, and he also serves as the mayor of the town.

To be honest, Han Fei's proposal made Baron Charlotte a little moved, he was originally ready to resign, but after all, he has been here for decades, and he has long been familiar with people and things, and it is indeed a little reluctant to give up if he gives up.

However, he didn't know whether Han Fei was sincere or pretending to be tempting, so he was a little hesitant.

Unexpectedly, Han Fei followed up and said, "If you are willing, I am willing to divide fifty hectares of land as your direct land!"

The lord can divide a part of his territory to his knights and nobles as a reward for loyalty, but this act of dividing the territory has a significant impact, and the average lord would rather give more money than the most trusted person will never give him direct land.

Not all nobles and knights can have their own territories, and the best territories have been divided up by various wealthy families hundreds of years ago.

The tulip territory owned by Han Fei is fertile, and the location is even better, you must know that the land within a range of tens or even hundreds of kilometers around the Holy Capital already has its own ownership, and he actually gave one-twentieth of it to Baron Charlotte at one time, which is definitely a big deal.

Renadeka and Su Yang, who were following Baron Charlotte, looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of burning heat in each other's eyes, Han Fei valued Baron Charlotte so much, they would undoubtedly have a chance!

Baron Charlotte's city government couldn't help but be stunned, he paused for a moment and said slowly: "Lord Lord, thank you for your kindness, please give me a little time to think about it!"

Despite his heartbeat, the aristocratic reserve allowed Baron Charlotte to resist the powerful temptation to agree immediately.

Han Fei smiled slightly and did not speak again.

The group arrived at the town guard.
