Chapter 145: Exclusion
"Your Highness Fairmode, what are you hesitating about?
Although you promised us more in the past, for so long, we, the Andy family, the Boulder family, and the Baronial family behind me, have supported you, and the agricultural taxes have not been reduced by a cent.
In exchange for this, the textile market on which we depend is completely dominated by the business alliances established by the enlightened, and now the cotton stored on our estates has to be sold on the market even at the price they have set!
We don't want anything else than you to intervene in the city guards and create a chance for us to dispose of the mage named "Charin Karl!"
"Earl of Hutt ......"
The embarrassed Prince Fairmode looked at Earl Hutt for an idea.
"Your Highness, I think this matter needs to be carefully considered before making a decision."
Naturally, it was impossible for Earl Hut on the side to agree to such a move on the eve of the implementation of the plan, but if he vetoed it like this, he was afraid that Viscount Dorbin's gang would not give up, so he simply resorted to delaying the method.
"What's wrong? Could it be that His Excellency the Honourable Earl of Hutt is willing to make up for our loss?"
Viscount Dobin Andy, who heard Count Hurt's intentions, immediately asked him with a sneer, without the slightest respect for Count Hurt.
The conservative aristocracy often relied on the output of their fields and estates, as well as a few simple handicrafts on their estates, and the traditional Andy family's main source of income was the cotton they grew and the textile workshops they operated.
Originally, the textile workshop was defeated and bankrupted by the factories of the Greg family and various enlightened families, and the cotton they stored, because of the huge demand for raw materials brought by these factories, rose a lot, which made up for their losses, and even made them a small profit.
But when the merchant alliance united the forces of the textile guilds, and while buying a large amount of cotton from overseas, they began to lower the price of cotton in the imperial capital, and even put forward all kinds of harsh demands, they could not bear it anymore.
After paying a lot of money to buy off the employees of a relatively lax textile mill and successfully stealing the secret of the Shuttle Loom, Viscount Dorbin was extremely uneasy about this terrifying machine.
After some investigation, Viscount Dorbin discovered that Charleen Karl, who had recently been in the forefront of the court, was the pioneer of these new machines, so he had the idea of kidnapping him or killing him outright.
"I'm not against you killing the mage named Charleen Karl, it's just that you've chosen the wrong time, and if you can, I want you to do it again next month.
Of course, it's also possible that we won't need to do anything to a little mage with some strange ideas!"
Earl Hurt knew that this matter had touched the scales of the nobles who had originally controlled the textile industry, and he did not say anything to stop Viscount Robin, but tactfully wanted to delay them for some time.
By the time their coup plan succeeds, it will not be easy to deal with a small business alliance with their power.
"No, Count Hut, I don't think you understand the weight of this so-called little mage you are talking about in the business alliance.
According to my investigation, it was this little mage who invented the new spinning machine, the new loom, and the new paper, cloud sugar and cake that were popular in the imperial capital.
He also created the soaps, soaps, and new varieties of liquor called rum that have recently appeared on the market.
Crucially, at a recent banquet, I stumbled upon a sudden splendor of cheap steel weapons, farm implements, and tools on the market in the surrounding towns.
These things are sold by a kind of shop called the "Commercial Alliance Agricultural Cooperative", and the price is about a few tens of copper pess cheaper than the market price.
And that shop, right in the heart of our conservatives, the town of Rumbo, which has been run by the Chester family for generations! What does this mean? I believe that His Royal Highness the Prince and Earl Hutt will not be unable to see it, right?
People like that, if they can't be used by us conservatives, then
It should be eliminated as soon as possible!"
Viscount Robin said with a cold expression.
However, he didn't know that Earl Hurt had actually learned about these things, but Count Hurt thought that even if these things were profitable, they would not affect the overall situation for a while.
But if the plan they have worked so hard to carry out even in collusion with the dead will be revealed, then the conservatives will have no chance.
"Paper, sugar, cakes, soap, are these things made by enlightened people?"
The prince of Fairmod on the side was surprised when he heard Viscount Robin's words, although he knew that his sister had made a business alliance, but he thought it was just a small fight.
Recently, he has not paid much attention to the changes in the Enlightened Sect because he has been busy with the implementation of the plan, and now it seems that the truth has a great way out of what he imagined.
"More than that, Your Highness Fairmode, the set of the Imperial Capital Newspaper that you have in hand that contains the story of the Holy Grail War that is prevalent in the Imperial Capital is also the property of the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce of that Charin Carr, and the title of the Imperial Capital Newspaper is the title of your sister Her Highness Dorothea!
On that, the enlightened faction kept boasting about the benefits and benefits they brought to the people, such as the price reduction of cotton yarn and cotton cloth, the appearance of cheap paper, cheap iron and steel farm tools, and so on.
If you pull a commoner on the street now and ask them what they think of the Imperial throne, you will surely get the answer that they want Dorothea to succeed to the throne!
Your Highness Fairmode, don't you think these changes don't matter?"
Viscount Robin said with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
"Wait, you said all of this stuff was made by Charlem Karl?"
"I see, I see! Agricultural cooperatives, newspapers, the New Army, road repair programs, is this the plan of the enlightened faction?"
Originally, he was just silently listening to Viscount Robin's words, and Count Hutt, who had implemented his own procrastination method, combined with all the information obtained by these Viscount Robin's painstaking investigations, and used Charlem Carr as the connection point, and suddenly saw the general picture of the plan being implemented by the enlightened faction, and his expression changed slightly.
"So the Enlightened have been doing quite a bit during this time, Earl Hutt, so what are we going to do next?"
Understanding this series of information provided by Viscount Robin, Prince Fairmode also did not expect that when they were busy with their plans, the enlightened faction would either quietly or with great fanfare weave such a meticulous plan, and asked with a solemn expression.
"Our plan has been implemented for a while before theirs, so we don't have to worry too much about it for the time being.
However, His Royal Highness, the Enlightened faction was no threat to us before, and since the appearance of Charlem Karl, the situation seems to have changed somewhat.
So I also think that we should take out the uncertainty of Charin Karl, but we have to find a suitable opportunity to prevent too much attention from revealing our plans!"
Concerned about the nobles next to him, Earl Hurt lowered his voice and said to Prince Fairmode.
