Chapter 45: Eugenia's Question of Determination
As a qualified maid, Kara should not deliberately improve her sense of existence at this time...... Sinan Pei thought.
But it turned out that he was too simple.
Theresa blushed and broke free from Sinampei's embrace and ran back to the room: "I'll come out after I make up some makeup." β
Immediately, Kara followed.
Although Sinan Pei wanted to complain, he ...... But as a big aristocrat, Theresa cares so much about her appearance. Girls are like that, and he doesn't want to say anything more.
But...... But Theresa, she doesn't know how to put on her own makeup!
This sad situation made Sinampei completely unsure whether to cry or laugh...... It seems that marrying a big nobleman who is already a princess-level person should laugh, but Sinan Pei should have thought a long time ago that such a wife is not so easy to support - even if she is down-and-out and becomes what she is now, but the aristocratic fan she should have has not decreased at all......
Bitter man.
Sinan Pei looked up to the sky and sighed, it turns out that simple life is not a concept in the eyes of women and men, and simple life in the eyes of nobles and people in the market is not a concept...... It's all tears.
In the past, when Theresa was particularly rich, Sinampe didn't feel anything, but now he did meet in person.
Speaking of which...... Even he himself is accustomed to a life of being served.
The Middle Ages may have had so many unsavory institutions and inequalities, but when he was in it, Sinampei found it difficult for him to leave this kind of life.
Even if this kind of life is actually tiring.
The sound of horses' hooves outside the pavilion interrupted Sinampei's thoughts, and Sylmeria returned in a rented carriage.
"Huh, you're back so early?" asked Shilmelia. "Where's Theresa?"
She went back to her room to touch up her makeup. Sinampei shrugged, "Something very ...... happened today It's a very bad thing, just cried and had a face. β
β...... What could make her cry?" asked Shirmel in a whisper, glancing in the direction of the bedroom.
"Alas, what else could it be, just returned from His Holiness the Pope. I ran into the city representative sent by the city of Lelan. Sinampei also lowered his voice very low.
"Leland's city representative?" said Hillelia, wondering, "I've been friends with Theresa for so many years, I've never met an envoy from there, and Theresa almost never talks to me about that place. I just know that she also has the title of Countess of Leland. Why didn't the gang come to see Trissa when she was in her prime, and now she's down and she's coming to her now?"
"Didn't they just break the bank? Sinan Pei shrugged, "If they had gone bankrupt a long time ago, I'm afraid they would have come to the door long ago." β
"Bankrupt?" Hilmelia was surprised.
"That's right, I've bankrupted myself, and the security in the city is not good. There were riots at both ends in three days, so didn't this come to Theresa, the big financier, to clean up the mess. Sinan Pei smiled helplessly, "Those people...... I really don't understand how they got it. β
"It's not a lot like this, but it's not unheard of. "Every year, there are some commercial cities that prosper or decline over time......
"No, it's not because of the city of Leland itself. Sinampei searched for the literary and historical knowledge of Eugenia in his mind, "The innate conditions of Lelan City are still quite good. It's not as big as Genoa and Adria, but it's not as bad as it is because of his location as an inland transportation hub. Even if maritime trade has risen and land transport has declined in recent years, the impact should not be so great. β
"You want to say that this must be a matter of structure, right?" asked Shilmelia with a smile.
"Well, what about this country. Ask a question, hahaha!" Hearing what Hillmelia said, Sinampei was stunned for a moment, and then raised his head and laughed.
"What about this country, ask Dingti?" because Sinampei said it in Chinese. So Shirmel didn't understand the meaning of these six pronunciations, but just asked suspiciously.
"Well, it's just a joke in my hometown, no matter what bad things are, they will complain about the system. Si Nanpei smiled and shook his head, "But how to say it, blame all the bad things on the system...... Alas, forget it, don't talk about this, those people are really ridiculous. β
Throwing the ridiculous faces of the public knowers behind him, Sinampe thought about the current problems of Lelan City: "But...... I think the rise of maritime trade may have been one of the reasons for the bankruptcy of the municipal council in Leland. Alas, this primitive cooking system is fragile, and the economy is about to collapse at the slightest storm. β
"Si, I don't understand what you're saying. Shirmel Melia laughed.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, just know that I'm currently thinking about what Lelan City can bring to His Highness. Sinampei shook his head, "Is it good or bad, is it a gospel or a curse." β
"It's pretty obvious, if it were me, I wouldn't have paid any attention to them. Shirmel shook her head, "It's not that I'm being too ruthless, it's that I'm completely emptying my pockets to feed these greedy moths." β
The usually soft witch girl doesn't want to deal with those people.
"That's true, but ......" Sinampei shook his head with a wry smile, "Just ignore them like this, let Theresa have a reputation for being mean, not good......"
Shilmelia pouted, "Is this mean? I can't see that you're still a bad person." I don't know what the lords are like in your Seris......"
"How can we Seris have such a profession as a lord. Sinan Pei said with a smile, "Since a long time ago, we have handed over the entire country to the emperor alone and a large and sophisticated bureaucratic organization, such as lords, feudalism, these things are synonymous with backwardness in our country, I remember telling you this." Recently, even the emperor has been lost, and a big bureaucratic leader called 'Grand Commander' has come out directly......"
Sinan Pei told the truth.
The bureaucratic system of the Chinese Celestial Empire is enough to be proud of the whole world! On the long history, the strictness of the rule, and the efficiency of work...... Well, let's not talk about the efficiency of the ordinary people, but this system has indeed been perfected to a kind of pinnacle of Cheng dΓΉ, which is much stronger than the messy lords and nobles, and much stronger than the useless dishes--Si Nanpei really thinks so. (To be continued......)
