Lynn had thought that this surprise attack would have some impact on the rest of the story, such as the royal family being scared to call Charlotte back, but in fact, he was overthinking.

After the news was transmitted back to the palace, the royal family not only did not ask Lynn to send Charlotte back, but vaguely revealed that this was a good thing, and it would be better if they could do it again.

The reason for this can be understood by any thought.

A story without danger and hardship is not a story that will be paid attention to, what everyone wants to see is that the protagonist stands out in the midst of many hardships and stands on a high place, but it is not possible to go all the way up or flat, there must be negative events, so as to bring out the excellence of the protagonist.

Charlotte's crisis this time was just enough to pave the way for future publicity.

"Look, our Highness is in danger and wants to save everyone."

What is next circulated among the people is probably this kind of rhetoric.

After understanding, Lynn handed the news to Charlotte, and Charlotte's performance was not like that of ordinary people.

Ordinary people would like to go back to a safe place after encountering such a kidnapping, but she seems to be a little lucky.

Are you glad you weren't sent back?

Probably.

Lynn didn't think about it that much, because he was busy with the next ones.

First of all, there is the problem of the city.

The people of this city are very poor, very poor, and they can't afford to buy food, they can't afford anything else.

If you want to save them, you have to deduct some free food from somewhere else.

Then Lynn was glad that Charlotte wasn't sent back.

He took Charlotte with him, like a walking token, and was willing to come out to help wherever he went.

After putting it together, the problem of eating was finally solved temporarily.

But it's not a long-term solution, because no one wants to dig their pockets for people in other cities.

If you want to be fed, you have to be self-reliant.

Unfortunately, due to the long period of desertion and the barrenness of the area, it is almost impossible to produce its own food, and they must develop a reliable industry in a short period of time to save themselves.

But this again involves a problem.

Originally, the industry of Bright Moon City had been transformed into a simple and single black city under the operation of Hesseli, and if they were asked to put down their knives, they wouldn't even know what they could do.

So, what to do?

This time, instead of doing it herself, Lynn asked Corinna to pass the news home.

He felt that a group of people who had licked blood from the knife for so long had nowhere to go now, so it would always attract the attention of some ambitious people, right?

Sure enough, after Duke Christine learned the news, he sent a few more people to "receive" these people on the same day - this was actually a secret news that should not be known to Lynn, but unfortunately, Miss Corina was very unaware of the family and revealed the information without reservation.

Lynn pretended she didn't know.

He himself has some ideas like the duke, so since he can make this decision, he will definitely not give away the loot that he can get his hands on.

On the day he handed the news back, he carried the butler behind his back and met with the leaders of the two gangs.

Although Hesseri is dead, the two gangs still exist, and they still can't be reversed, because the bottom of the gang doesn't know that they are actually a toy, and they all think that the other party is a mortal enemy who doesn't want them to live, if the gang is still there, then it can still provide them with cohesion, if it is gone, it is probably a tree that falls and scatters to establish a new gang.

In short, the turmoil at the top did not affect the majority of the people, and the prestige of the two leaders remained.

And after Lynn provided them with food, Lynn naturally took Hesseri's place and became the new boss of the two bosses.

On the day of the meeting, he gave the two leaders some tasks and a certain amount of reward and promise.

So when Christine secretly met with the two leaders in the future, they almost did not hide their bandit atmosphere, and even directed and staged a chaotic and violent bloody scene.

This made Christine's people judge it to be a completely banditized group of people, and there was no co-optation value.

Then, judgment is worthless, so what should we do with them?

Lost?

So many people? How to lose it?

And the royal family has already begun to spread propaganda in other places, and if people find out that you are an empty city, won't the royal family be doomed?

So, can't be lost.

If you don't lose it, how can you fix it?

It's impossible to keep this group of people who don't do any work for nothing, right?

The royal family hopes that Christine can do this, after all, high welfare is also something that can be promoted, but Christine is not a fool, why should she give it to these civilians when she finally has some surplus?

In the absence of a way, this group of people is like a basket of rotten eggs that have been put in a poor family for a month, no one wants to eat them, but they are reluctant to lose them, after all, it is rare to have so many eggs.

Now Christine is a little embarrassed.

The duke's idea was to sell the city, and the buyers had secretly contacted several people, but now that the city has not been cleaned up, where would anyone dare to come to see the land?

Take it in your hands, the people on this earth are not obedient and disobedient, and they may even stab themselves in the back when the time comes.

No matter how you look at it, it's a dilemma.

That's when Kolina made a suggestion.

If you can't be co-opted and unwilling to be honest and obedient, then you have to use unconventional means.

The duke said no, because the bloodshed would affect the little princess, and then implicate the royal family, and then they would be the unlucky.

Corina said again that the little princess was there for her to stabilize and pull her out to avoid the limelight, and that this time was enough to make them at least superficially obedient.

At this point, the Duke reluctantly agreed, and told him that Blazer must do it, and Corina should go out with him.

Corina agreed, and then turned around and threatened each other with her last name, and if you didn't obey, you would both die.

The leaders of the two gangs had not met Kelina, but the other party's posture did not look like a fox and a tiger, and after understanding (the information given by Lynn), they confirmed that the other party's identity was true, and then began to panic.

They think that Corinna is angry with Christine because of her "acting", so they find Lynn to complain and want a solution.

Lynn said that there was nothing she could do about it, because she was also a part-time worker, but as long as they were quiet for a while, things would probably pass.

The two leaders nodded skeptically—in fact, they had been quiet since Heseri's absence, and the only conflict was acting.

That's when Lynn came up with a new idea.

He said that if he said that we would really calm down, it didn't seem to fit our personality, and the previous "acting" might be exposed, which would cause Christine to be even more angry, or let's pretend to cut some people, so it's better to be real, anyway, the "messenger" won't live here for a long time, and it's up to him to do it, so let's pretend to cut people, and then transfer these people out of the city or find a place to hide in the city - anyway, the city is so big, it's definitely no problem to hide some people.

The two leaders agreed to Lynn, and on a stormy night, some of the city's already small number of people disappeared.

Corina gave the information to Christine, and the Duke was satisfied, and said that he was willing to provide them with the most basic necessities for survival until someone else took over.

As long as they can be quiet while they are still on his hands, even if it is only superficial, it will allow him to find a suitable buyer.

Unfortunately, the previous sellers repented at this time and refused to offer a large amount of money in exchange for a useless city.

Because, the war really broke out!

The rebels began in the southern Rhine province of Rotara, and it took only seven days to take full control of the whole of Rotara, while in other provinces, armed forces large and small set fire to the towns.

Although the royal family had been prepared, there was no way to clear it in the first place because there were too many and incentralized locations for the rebellion.

And so things got more and more troublesome.

Most of these rebels were well-trained troops of the lords, not improvised militia regiments, they were organized, disciplined, and targeted, capable of striking and capturing them wherever they wanted.

Another seven days had passed, and the flames of the rebellion had burned about two-fifths of the Rhine.

Fortunately, the royal family was not a dry meal, and after a brief period of unease, the Knights of the Rhine, led by Catalena, and the troops of the lords of the surrounding provinces that had played a role in the royal family's propaganda, began to stabilize the situation.

It has to be said that the benefits of long-term peace are still possible.

With the support of the majority of the population, it took only three days for the rebels' inflame advance to stall, and after another two days, their territory had even begun to shrink.

Although this is a normal phenomenon of expansion and solidification, under the hype of the royal family, everyone still believes that this rebellion is just an accident, and as long as it takes a while, everything will return to its original state.

However, when everything seemed to be starting to be different and developing towards a bad place, here in Bright Moon City, it quietly rejuvenated itself.

Of course, it is not that this land can suddenly grow rice with a yield of thousands of catties per mu, but that Mingyue City has unexpectedly a new meaning of existence.

Previously, Bright Moon City was a well-known black market exchange underground, and as long as there was money, most people could exchange it for what they wanted.

However, after Heseri's death, people who had no connections naturally stopped coming to Bright Moon City to trade, but when the world began to fall into chaos, they had to come again.

Because, they need weapons, or rather, military supplies.

In this war, many lords were forced to participate, but they participated in the war, in fact, they were self-financed, and the royal family would only give some negligible subsidies at most, which was nothing compared to military spending.

However, not all of these lords were wealthy, and if the war was to be sustained for a long time, their expenses might be a little unbearable.

As a result, some "long-sighted" lords have begun to think about saving money in some way.

Because of the impact of the war, the prices of food and military supplies have risen, and the food is okay, with the royal family in control, the merchants dare not raise the price aggressively, but the military supplies are different.

The royal family can produce their own military supplies, but the lords cannot, they can only buy them through channels if they want to.

But these channels are formally in the hands of the royal family.

The shrewd lords certainly won't agree.

We've all helped you fight, and we have to send you money, right?

Co-author paid part-time job?

So they turned their eyes to the merchants.

As a businessman who has their shadow in his favor, he will definitely put out a lot of military supplies at this time, even if he is temporarily looking for someone to make such an opportunity, it is impossible to let go of such an opportunity to make a lot of money, although this is a prohibited matter.

So, under the tacit communication between the lord and the merchant with a heart, they became trading partners.

If you have a trading partner, you have to have a trading place, right?

It's not a clean thing, and being found out is almost certain to death.

Therefore, Bright Moon City, which once had a "good resume", has become their first choice for trading - the sky is falling, isn't there still a duke on top of it.

Just by charging the handling fees given by both parties for providing the land, Mingyue City made a lot of money, and even at this time, it could afford to buy enough food to fill its stomach, and even have a surplus.

The publicity that Hesseri used Christine's name to play at the beginning now falls on Lynn.

"No wonder history is always chaotic, war money, indeed big money"

Lynn looked at the report in her hand and sighed slightly.

In fact, this wealth came a little inexplicably, but it finally solved their urgent needs for them, and even hid it from Duke Christine, so that the money was almost reduced to his pocket money - the butler returned to Christine as early as the beginning of the war, and now only he, Corina, Charlotte, and the other attendants used to replace the butler are left in Bright Moon City.

The squire was obviously less loyal than the butler, and Lynn only used a few tricks to get him to show his handle, and then firmly controlled it.

The current Mingyue City is actually about equal to his Yiyantang.

There are some people who want money, power, and even force - those who are "missing" are not really missing.

Shaking her head and clearing her mind of thoughts, Lynn picked up another report.

When he saw the first line of text, he was slightly stunned, and after a while, he remembered that this was something he had promised Charlotte to investigate.

So he got up from his position, took the report, and knocked on Charlotte's door.

"Charlotte, what I inquired about before, there's news."
