Chapter 199, the prince hangs up
Before the dust had settled, Hudson had already returned to the territory with Melissa first. This trip to the Duchy of Moxi has been delayed long enough, and it will be endless if it continues!
When it comes to conflicts of interest, it is never possible to quarrel for a day or two to produce a result. Whether Hudson is present or not does not affect the final result.
From the moment the Moxi government declared bankruptcy, the follow-up plot was already doomed. As long as they show the enemy a weak strategy and don't go through it, there will be no big problem.
The old creditors can't pay their bills, let alone the new ones. If you want the Mossi government to meet its debts, you have to give them money in their pockets.
There is no doubt that this is something impossible. The huge gap of hundreds of millions of funds is by no means something that can be raised in a short period of time.
Regardless of whether the parties can be persuaded to agree to debt relief, the Principality of Mossi has only so much income on the surface that it is not enough for everyone to share.
If someone takes more, someone will take less.
When the creditors fought each other, there was less pressure on the Moxie government. Even for the sake of the smooth fulfillment of the debt, the parties could not let the Principality of Moxi fall.
Back home, Hudson's face quickly darkened. No matter how powerful you are outside, you have to have a big head in the face of the bear children at home.
The second child is still young, and he is just crawling around, and he can't cause much trouble.
The boss is different, four or five years old, it is the age when people and dogs are disgusted.
The lively words are not like words, and the curiosity that can't be contained is superimposed, and the entire lord's mansion is disturbed.
Usually Hudson was fine when he was there, but the pain in his butt made Franz feel palpitations, and he didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
In the days he was gone, things were completely different, like a wild horse that had lost its reins and ran wild.
Redman, who stayed behind, treats his son and grandson to a completely different standard. Although it did not reach the point of obedience, Franz's ass did not suffer in the days of Hudson's departure.
Hudson didn't know what reason to use if he wanted to beat him. Judging from the recorded daily routine, Franz was completely overly curious and wanted to try anything.
It was as if the cautious cell had been exhausted in Hudson, and Franz Jr. had not inherited it at all; On the contrary, he inherited his suppressed curiosity perfectly, and went further.
"Hudson, it's almost there. In case Franz beats him out, you're going to have to put medicine on him! ”
Melissa said tactfully.
Compared to other bear children, Franz is actually quite good. Since childhood, I've been polite.、Sweet mouth.,It's very likable.,Except for being too curious.,A little like to die.,Basically, there's no shortcoming.。
It's just that these shortcomings are precisely the most intolerable in Hudson's eyes!
As a top second generation, I am not afraid of Franz's poor ability, but I am afraid that he loves to toss. Curiosity kills cats, and if you can't control your curiosity, you will only harm others and yourself.
When you are young, your ability to get into trouble is limited, and it is not difficult to help clean up the mess. It's a different story when you're older.
There are many negative teaching materials on the mainland, and almost every year, there are aristocratic children who are tired of living a good life, and organize expeditions to go deep into the major dangerous places to find excitement.
Generally speaking, these expeditions, which were launched on the impuru basis without detailed planning in advance and intelligence gathering in place, ended in tragedy.
If you are lucky, the team loses a lot; If you are unlucky, you will be wiped out directly.
"No need to apply medicine, he is so skinny, it doesn't hurt to suffer a little sin!"
The words are powerful, and the strength in the hands involuntarily decreases. For some reason, Hudson always felt that the whip in his hand was not enough.
In order not to be angry in his future, Hudson felt the need to reverse Franz's outlook on life and stifle this curiosity to die.
"Melissa, Franz has so much time to get into trouble, I think there is still too little schoolwork. When you go back, you add some cultural lessons to him, and you can't let him be idle. ”
As soon as Hudson finished speaking, Franz began to cry more and more sadly. The pain of being beaten is temporary, but the pleasure of increasing schoolwork is long-term.
Even if he was being beaten, Franz couldn't help but protest to Hudson, but unfortunately it didn't make any sense.
Melissa and Hudson quickly came to a consensus on this issue, agreeing on the need to give Franz a full childhood.
In line with the principle of preventing the slightest slight, every time the boss is beaten, Melissa hugs the second child and watches.
The effect is very obvious, whenever Franz is beaten, the second child is exceptionally well-behaved.
……
"Hudson, I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince has died, will this affect the political balance of the kingdom?"
Melissa asked with concern.
Being in the aristocratic circle is indispensable to mix politics. Caesar IV, who is currently only a son, suddenly died in infancy, which naturally attracted the attention of all walks of life in the kingdom.
"There will definitely be an impact, but it shouldn't be a big problem. His Majesty and the Queen are still young, and even if the eldest son dies, he can still have another child later.
I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the prince will die abnormally, and it will be a big trouble. However, these are the troubles of the powerful people in the royal capital, and they will not have much impact on us local lords! ”
Hudson said it with ease, but deep down he thought it was completely different. It is true that the infant mortality rate in Aslant is high, but that is only for the poor.
The eldest son of the king is the prince of the country, and there are a large group of people around him, and there are no rumors of poor health in advance.
Let's not talk about anything else, just look at the situation of the mountain collar. Since the improvement of the living standards and medical conditions of the people, the infant mortality rate in the territory has plummeted.
How many can be safely grown, because the time cycle is too long, there is no way to count it for the time being.
However, the probability that the baby's first day of life is the end of the day has dropped from one in five to one percent.
There are many reasons for such a dramatic change. In addition to cultivating a stable mother who is a professional midwife, it also includes early fetal raising.
In the past, there was no such thing as maternity leave. If it is in time for the busy farming season, on the day the child is born, the mother is still working in the field.
Many children are even born directly in the fields, and whether or not they can be born smoothly depends on their lives, and the only thing everyone can do is to pray for the blessing of the gods.
After Hudson's reforms, the probability of slippery tires and premature births fell off a cliff, and with the addition of a professional midwifery team, the situation naturally reversed.
Born safely is just the beginning, and if you want to grow up smoothly, you will have to face a series of tests.
In this regard, it is polarized, and the probability that the children of small and medium-sized nobles can grow up safely can basically be maintained at 80 or 90 percent.
The survival rate of the children of serfs generally fluctuates between half and two-thirds, depending on the harvest in the field.
After Hudson's reforms, the situation in the mountain territories improved greatly, but after all, the time was too short, and the poor population base of the own territory alone could not bring about the survival rate of children in the society as a whole.
When it comes to the stage of great nobility, as long as there are no accidents, few descendants die young.
After all, this is an extraordinary world, and even if there is only one breath left, it can pull people back.
In this context, the son of Caesar IV still had an accident, and it is difficult not to think about it!
……
Emerald Palace, since the death of the prince, the atmosphere here has become tense. Caesar IV's gloomy face was full of words: Lao Tzu wants to kill.
"Why haven't you found out where the sachet came from?"
Caesar IV asked sternly.
The clues to the prince's untimely death all point to a mysterious sachet, in which the guards found traces of being drugged.
"Your Majesty, by the time we found the owner of the sachet, it was already too late. All the people involved in the case were all killed.
We have checked all the information of all those involved in the case, all of whom have lived in the Kingdom for more than five generations.
……”
The courtier's answer did not satisfy Caesar IV. His own sons are dead, but he hasn't even found out who did it.
You must know that the people who can be arranged to serve by the prince's side are all noble children who are close to the royal family, and all kinds of information have been checked before being selected.
It stands to reason that these children of the nobility who have been following the royal family for a long time are the most reliable. But now the results of the investigation point to them.
Even now, Caesar IV did not understand what the motives of these people were.
Even enemy spies, after so many generations of lurking, have long lost their loyalty.
They are all people with wives and children, so they can't take the whole family to a dead end because of an order from the old club, right?
"Continue to check on me, in addition to the sachet, there must be other clues that we have overlooked.
No matter who is involved, this time I will make him pay! ”
Caesar IV said murderously.
The revenge of killing the son is not shared!
If the murderer is not found, he will not be able to sleep well. If you can attack the prince today, you can directly attack him tomorrow.
In fact, the benefits of getting rid of Caesar IV would only be greater than killing a child who was not knowledgeable.
The Alpha Kingdom has a strict succession law, and the crown prince has to make up for the death of the king. A human cub in his arms, obviously incapable of handling government affairs.
Without a strong monarch to rule the country, the royal family does not want to lose power, and the best thing to do is to do nothing and wait until the king reaches adulthood.
The enemy did not attack him, definitely not because he was afraid of killing the king. This charge can only keep the enemy from attacking him in the open, and the means in the secret are not controlled at all.
Intuition told Caesar IV that there must be something wrong behind this. Maybe it's not that the enemy doesn't want to get rid of him, but that they don't have a chance to strike at him.
After all, adults are not like children, and they are not just poisoned sachets that can achieve their goals.
