Chapter XXXIV: The Ideal of the Duke of Totobina
Moreover, after being a nobleman, her personality is actually amiable.
Feng Xi thought back to the scene he saw when he first entered the Duke of Totobina's domain, and he felt a little more confident about the conversation that followed.
As a nobleman, he actually let the people in the territory equal each other, and even have the idea of spreading outward, this idea is very dangerous, and it can be said that it is disrespectful to the world.
Moreover, the fact that the heir was also cultivated into this character can only be said that this Duke Totobina is really bold.
"Mr. Scholar, Duke Totobina is waiting for you inside."
"Hmm."
Feng Xi pushed open the door and walked in.
Squeak –
The door behind him was actually closed by Tonshke.
[So cautious, it seems that this duke doesn't let Crow in because he knows what he has done, and this knight squad leader is not simple. 】
The person who can open the door directly for the duke is a cronie, an existence that becomes a cronie with the captain of the squad.
The wind became more and more curious about the Duke of Totobina.
It's brave enough to know exactly what you're doing, and to dare to let yourself in as a stranger!
"Mr. Scholar, sit down."
Feng Xi frowned slightly when he heard this voice, this duke is actually a woman?
Totobina Saru saw the surprise of the wind ritual, and without explaining too much, she asked him about his perception of the territory.
"It's bad."
Totobina-Saru sat up straight in the noble chair, waiting for the next words of the wind ceremony.
"Has the Duke downplayed the status of nobles and knights too much?"
"Why do you say that?"
"Just now, when the Thomshank knight was on a mission, the jugglers were still blocked there, which made the knight's mobility inconvenient."
Totobina-Saru was very puzzled, isn't this a sign of being close to the people, and immediately asked her doubts.
"It may seem to you that this is harmony, but it seems to me that those people have completely ignored the majesty of the knights, and this is a dangerous sign."
How dangerous? Just like when Duke Totobina was replaced by another duke, they wouldn't care.
Even if there was a battle in Totobina's territory, they would just choose to hide and wait for the battle to end.
Because knights weren't meant to serve them!
Losing his only majesty, the Duke existed in name only.
Totobina Saru couldn't sit still listening to Feng Xi's analysis, and walked back and forth.
He even came directly to Feng Xi and held his hand and pleaded.
"This honorable scholar, you must have a way."
It wasn't until the moment she walked down that Feng Xi saw Totobina-Saru's true face, very young, not at all like a woman who had given birth.
However, Feng Qi could still see a lot of wrinkles in the corners of her eyes.
"Your Excellency..."
"Mr. Scholar just call me Saru."
Feng Xi was silent, this is completely without a duke's shelf, no wonder he would let the territory look like this.
"Lord Duke, the name is the last dignity of the nobles, and calling you by your name is a blasphemy against the Duke's position."
Totobina Saru was also slightly stunned when she heard this, she didn't think of this, because when her husband died.
In order to complete her husband's forgetting, creating a territory that is not bound by identity has become her only obsession.
For the first time in so many years, she had been asked to regain the majesty of the Duke.
"I see."
Totobina Saru withdrew the hand that held the wind ritual, straightened her clothes, straightened her body, and her eyes brightened a lot.
Seeing her changes, Feng Xi was a little satisfied.
Only the duke can negotiate with him, and not a woman who has lost her opinion and is flustered.
"Then Lord Duke, let's start over."
"No problem, Mr. Scholar."
The negotiations went from morning to afternoon.
Crowe, who was waiting outside, was bored counting the ants outside Duke Totobina's castle, and he forgot how many he had counted.
I just remember that I couldn't count it with a lot of fingers, it seemed to be more than 100,000.
After counting another pair of hands.
Crowe was bored and came to Tonshke and looked at him face to face.
"Let me in."
"Nope."
"Let me in."
"Nope."
"I'm not going in."
"Yes."
“...”
Crowe was silent, because Thomsshank's eyes were too insulting at this point.
I think he was deceived by Lord Fengci once, why didn't this big man be fooled.
The sullen Crowe went back to counting the ants.
I don't know how long Crowe counted.
The door opened.
Feng Xi walked out.
Thomshink bowed slightly, and moved out of the way.
Outside Crow got up excitedly and greeted him.
"Lord Fengxi, how about you finally come out?"
Feng Xi saw the expectation in Crowe's eyes and shook his head slightly.
"We need to stay here for a few days."
Crow's eyes visibly changed from anticipation to loss, but Feng Xi didn't explain.
It's not that Totobina Saru disagrees, but asks Feng Xi to come up with a feasible plan to help him take care of both ends and help her implement dedifferentiation.
However, at that time, Feng Xi directly refused, because there is no absolute identity, only a relative identity.
In the end, Totobina-Saru compromised, but asked the Shrine to complete the establishment of a relatively equal place within 3 days, and the Shrine agreed.
Totobina Saru inside the gate watched the wind and the knight leave, and she was also looking forward to the changes in 3 days.
Because he couldn't understand a lot of what this scholar said, such as the proportion of labor contribution and the proportion of intellectual contribution.
She only knew a little about the words spiritual needs and material needs.
"Lord Duke, do we need to keep an eye on him?"
"No need to monitor, just let Linta follow him."
"But."
"Tonshke, Totobina Linta, the daughter of the Duke, will one day succeed to the throne of the Duke, and now this scholar is the best in character and learning,
This is a rare opportunity to make Totobina Linta grow up quickly in order to take on the role of Duke Tobina. ”
"Lord Duke, isn't that too much of a hurry?"
"Thomshk, I don't have any time to waste."
"Sister, is your body?"
"Well, don't say it."
Thomshank was silent.
And he is the younger brother of Saru, who was renamed Totobina Saru after marrying into the Duke's Palace.
One thing Feng Ritual is not mistaken, the nobility is inherited by men!
The other side.
On the way back to his residence, he kept thinking about where to start doing it.
The establishment of relative identity is not a very difficult thing for him.
As long as the existence of maintaining market order is created, the problem will be solved.
It's like an ancient emperor, although the battle years were very fortunate, it was because there were too many local lords, and here.
There is only one lord, Duke Totobina!
As long as there are rules, then all this can be solved.
What will happen after that will depend on whether there will be incompetents among the heirs of Duke Totobina's family.
All problems can be solved, but there is a lack of an opportunity to intervene.
Now that the identity is too diluted, there must be something to attract everyone's attention.
"Lord Fengxi, did you know that there are a lot of ants out there in Duke Totobina."
The word ant was still taught to him by Fengci.
"Ants?"
"yes, there are a lot, more than 100,000."
At this moment, Feng Xi had a flash of inspiration.
A thousand-mile embankment, destroyed in an anthill!
The way has been found!
