-141- Vassals and vassals
Mithril Mine is running out?
Charlotte was slightly stunned.
Charlotte is no stranger to the precious mineral Mithril, which has appeared in many fantasy scenes in her previous life.
It is very precious, the appearance is silvery-white, dazzling and beautiful, much stronger than steel but very light, and at the same time has excellent magical affinity and storage, many magical equipment and holy weapons and even artifacts are inseparable from it, it is a rare magic material.
And the Castel family, which started with silver mines, is more accurate because of Mithril, which is a transcendent thing......
The high-quality Mithril produced by the Castel Silver Mine is well-known throughout West Unity, and even the elves on Luna Island who are not short of money are willing to pay a premium for it.
If things are really as Baron Sharon said, then Castel's income will probably drop sharply.
Thinking of this, Charlotte sighed secretly.
No matter how rich the minerals are, there will always be a day when they will be dug up, and it seems that ...... It's time for the economic structure of the Castel Territory to be transformed.
Of course, although the income has plummeted, 500,000 quintana is not a small number.
Even with a two-thirds reduction in income, Castel is far from being poor, and is still considered rich.
"Does the Crescent Royal Family know about the depletion of minerals?"
Charlotte asked.
The Crescent Royal Family is a partner in the Castells Silver Mine, and more than half of the output of the Mithril Mine has actually been taken by the Royal Family.
Baron Chalons sighed:
"The royal family doesn't know yet, and even if they do, they shouldn't care, after all, the royal family is the richest main vein of the Mithril mine, and that part has not been affected too much, only the part of our family that is more affected is the branch vein."
Charlotte: ......
Good fellows, only the branches of the Castel family have dried up?
Charlotte was a little speechless.
After a moment's silence, she said:
"Okay, I know about this, and when I return to the territory, I will go to the silver mine to see it myself."
As soon as the veins were exhausted, Charlotte estimated that Baron de Chalons would not lie to her.
But again, she didn't believe what Baron Chalons said.
The other party's unintentional attitude is obviously that he still treats her as a child, not a lord, and she will not completely believe all the other party's words.
She decided to wait until she returned to the territory and then investigate it herself.
After talking about the Mithril Mine, Charlotte noticed that Baron Chalon's expression was a little hesitant, as if he still had something to say.
Her heart moved, and she asked:
"Is there anything else you would like to say, Your Excellency Chalon?"
Baron Chalons nodded and said in a deep voice:
"Lord Charlotte, I do have something to say."
"I don't know how Sebas gained your trust, but this elf ...... He is a well-known traitor to Luna. ”
"Castel has always had economic contacts with Luna Island, and he is a good partner, if you let Luna Island know about his relationship with you, I'm afraid it will hinder the relationship between the family and the elves."
"Many of the nobles in the realm trade with the elves, and if our relationship with Luna Island is affected as a result, I am afraid that your prestige and support in the territory will also be damaged."
"And, with all due respect, I don't think a Silver Moon Second Order would be willing to submit to you without reservation, let alone a gang leader, he ...... I'm afraid the plot is great! ”
Baron Chalon's expression was serious.
Between the words, Charlotte could clearly feel his hostility and wariness towards Sebas.
Charlotte was a little helpless.
Her relationship with Sebas is indeed difficult to explain, and the knights from the realm are understandably worried.
Of course, no matter what other people's attitudes are, Charlotte will definitely not abandon her only blood relative and Silver Moon thug.
But at the same time, how to respond to Baron Chalon's words also requires skill.
After all, the other party represents the lower nobles of the territory, and her response is likely to be transmitted to the territory through the other party first.
The Count is indeed a rather special class.
Charlotte is neither the protagonist who crosses into an emperor or a king, the whole country is the largest in itself, and the following are all vassals, and the only headache that has always been has to deal with the relationship with the vassals, how to balance, how to compromise, and how to govern the country.
It's not like a self-made protagonist like many middle barons or knights, who have built up their own forces, and say nothing about themselves on their own territory, but everything has to be done from scratch.
She has a little bit on both sides, and wants to be favored by both.
As a vassal, her crisis has been almost dealt with.
But as a feudal monarch, it may have just begun.
The feudal monarch still needs the support of the vassals, just like the magistrates and former officials of the Celestial Empire.
Perhaps the vassal has a low status and weak power, but when facing the newly appointed feudal monarch, he often has a unified position and interests, and he is completely able to set the feudal monarch in the air.
Even Charlotte has not yet thoroughly figured out what the relationship between the gods and beliefs in the Miria world is, there is no one in history and mythology who does not first have their own power and develop their own beliefs.
Referring to the path of her predecessors, even if she is a god in the future, Charlotte cannot fight alone, but needs to plan ahead, gain a firm foothold in Miria, and have her own power.
But at the same time, Charlotte could not rely on the power of True Ancestor Liberation to dominate.
In that case, it would really be no different from the evil god, and the evil god ...... None of them can really go viral.
Castel was a good place to start, and if she wanted to take full control of the Castelle Domain, it was essential to gain the heartfelt loyalty of the lower nobles.
She must not be timid, nor can she appear stubborn or ignorant and make a bad impression on the other person.
"There is no doubt about Sebas's loyalty, Castel has saved his life, he has sworn allegiance to the gods, and he has been tested by the gods, I have my own mind on this."
After thinking about it, Charlotte said.
Hearing Charlotte pull out the banner of the gods, Baron Chalons opened his mouth, but in the end he was speechless to object.
In a world where there are gods, the gods are the masters, and this ball can only be said to be very good.
After being entangled for a long time, Baron Chalons could only sigh slightly:
"If he is approved by the Holy Court, then His Majesty has nothing to say, but I hope you ...... You can think carefully about the perception of Luna Island and the nobles. ”
……
The convoy from the Earls of Castels was stationed at the estate, and Charlotte gave a grand welcome to the crowd.
The convoy would spend two days in Boulder, leaving behind the goods and funds from Castel, as well as purchasing Boulder's goods from the Castel family's business partners.
Charlotte took this opportunity to get a full understanding of her own territory from top to bottom through these knights and retinues who came from afar.
As for Baron Chalon, who led the team, he did not live in the manor.
It is said that he had his own little annex in the western part of Boulder City, and that he had many friends to visit, and that there was even a small party on these two nights.
However, just when Charlotte thought that the baron would not return to the manor in the evening, he suddenly hurried back again.
As soon as he saw the girl sitting elegantly in the hall listening to music and drinking sweet milk, he hurried up to him and asked solemnly:
"Lord Charlotte! Heard...... You swore to the gods that you would not marry?! ”
The goblet in Charlotte's hand paused slightly.
She knew that the problems that should come would eventually come......
I'm sorry, I just came back from a business trip today, and when I got home, I was notified to work overtime, and I worked until more than ten o'clock in the evening...... I wrote this chapter even after I worked hard. I'm so tired, there should only be this chapter tonight.
