Hearing the name Bucky, David understood why Steve did what he did.

"However, this kind of behavior can easily cause misunderstandings, right?"

"The members of the Avengers know about my undercover involvement in Hydra."

Steve didn't decide to play undercover at the head of the shot. Before actually starting the operation, he and his Avengers comrades carefully discussed many details before officially "joining" Hydra.

In order to ensure that his undercover identity is not revealed, after joining Hydra, Steve did not discuss anything related to Hydra with several other comrades, nor did he do it in private.

"So, while your comrades know your true identity, you are on your own when it comes to dealing with Hydra?"

"I've had enough of myself."

Steve didn't take Hydra too seriously, and Steve, the Supreme Mage heir who had already broadened his horizons, and who had been blessed by the Holy Light, the Elemental Spirit, and Elune, did have this confidence.

"And, after joining Hydra, I think it's a waste for these people to be 'abandoned' like that." Steve thinks that there are a lot of talents in Hydra, and if these talents can really make some contributions to the earth and humanity, it will definitely be better than directly eliminating them as big bad guys.

Especially considering the world he lives in, and the years ahead will not be very peaceful.

"For example......

"Rumlow?"

"That's probably not going to be easy."

"Do your best!"

After chatting for a while, David had figured out Steve's thoughts: instead of flipping the table and destroying Hydra completely like in the original plot, Steve felt that it was better to leave both Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D. behind.

Steve, who knows what will happen in the future, of course, does this to let the Avengers have a layer of "umbrella", as long as there is an agency called S.H.I.E.L.D., the Avengers superheroes will not become the target of public criticism and be targeted by the officials of various countries.

After all, S.H.I.E.L.D. is nominally subordinate to the World Security Council.

As for Hydra...... Steve was very conflicted at first, according to his previous personality, he must have killed it directly without discussion.

But now his thoughts have changed, not that he doesn't think that Hydra doesn't need to be destroyed, but that he thinks that disintegrating from the inside may be more able to cleanly and completely destroy this evil organization that has been inherited for a long time than breaking it from the outside.

"I think you're a little familiar with this plan."

"Helmut Zemo was recruited by me into Hydra not long ago, and he is currently my staff officer."

"......" Hearing Steve say this, David suddenly wanted to touch the box of cigarettes and light one for the Supreme Hydra Captain.

After chatting a few more words, I determined that the Marvel Universe didn't need my own help, and if it continued to be executed according to Steve's plan, even if Hydra still existed on the surface, the core of the substance would change greatly.

Steve, who has become the new leader of Hydra and Kama Taj, may become a more "powerful" leader, and he will have to give him a yellow robe to protect the corners he has dug into his subordinates from Hydra.

If that scene really happened, David would definitely run to see the excitement, and with Cybertron's body, he still had his own video recording equipment, which could record all the details completely and clearly.

After chatting with Steve, David went back to chat with the others.

As night fell, everyone moved from the rooftop to the banquet hall, eating the various delicacies made by Jonah and drinking the juice of various fruits grown by Mark, and the people chatted until late at night before leaving.

Soon, only David and Laura were left in Fort Glamorgan, and looking at Fort Glamorgan, which had become deserted, David felt that it was time to recruit some servants.

"Even if it's just to make it look a little annoying."

After eating a lot of food, Davy, who was full of food and thoughts, looked at Laura, but Laura waved her hand at him, indicating that she was going home to rest today: "See you tomorrow morning."

「……」

Eyes

David, who watched Laura run away, could only meditate on cultivating the holy light, and then turned off the lights and went to sleep, and the entire Glamorgan Fort fell into silence.

With the arrival of a new day, a new chapter has begun in the town of Winter.

From this day forward, David can take care of all sorts of things from his own office in Fort Glamorgan.

It will also be difficult for ordinary people in the town to find the lord David.

Sitting in his office, David is no longer the person you can meet a few steps down the street and can give advice to him anytime, anywhere, but gradually has become the "way it should be" of an aristocracy.

Elias was very pleased with this, and the privileged living environment should allow the newly promoted baron to gradually develop a noble temperament.

Just like now, watching David sit behind the large desk and appoint the man named Weatherby Swan as the political officer of Winter Town, the momentum and demeanor displayed at this time have already reached the level of those powerful nobles in the royal capital.

As for the remaining two or three points difference, Elias felt that there was no way to completely eliminate it. Because that is determined by Baron Glamorgan's personal temperament, in addition to the factors of personality, there is also the influence of appearance.

To put it bluntly, Baron Glamorgan is too tender and handsome, and looks more like a nobleman from a well-to-do background than a powerful lord in charge of a border town.

Elias suggested that David could choose to grow a beard or something to make himself look more imposing, but David refused on the grounds that he didn't like to make himself furry.

"Anyway, I'm pretty much done with this job."

The various aristocratic etiquette had been taught, the etiquette class had long since ended, and now Elias was more on the sidelines to supervise and make sure that David could develop the right habits.

He began to think about another question, could himself, who already knew a lot of Baron Glamorgan, or the secrets of Winter Town, be able to return to the royal capital smoothly?

Moreover, does he really want to return to the royal capital? Go back and be a little etiquette officer who is not taken seriously and even oppressed.

Stay in Wintertown?

Does this seem like a good choice? Especially as someone who has witnessed the development of Winter Town from a primitive small village to such an advanced town now, he is full of expectations for this place and wants to know what Winter Town will develop into in the future.

As for what to stay for?

Theoretically, noble lords can hire ceremonial officers who serve them entirely, and this kind of ceremonial officer is not only responsible for teaching noble etiquette to the lord.

At the same time, there are also family members who are responsible for teaching the lord: such as the lord's wife; The lord's sons and daughters, etc. Chinese Net

In addition, the arrangements for the lord and his family to travel are also the responsibility of the ceremonial officer; Even if the lord communicates with other nobles, the ceremonial officer is responsible for reminding his lord of what to pay attention to in terms of etiquette.

These are all things he is good at, and even if he doesn't do them, Elias feels that he has no problem serving as the steward of the lord.

I didn't notice that my thinking had changed from "do you want to stay?" It became "What can I do if I stay?" Elias was still standing quietly aside.

Sitting across from David's desk, Weatherby Swann was discussing with the Lord Lord what he was responsible for next.

"First of all, it is to return to normal economic conditions."

With the construction of Fort Glamorgan, Winter Fortress and many artisans' houses, as well as the construction of waterworks, waste water, and garbage treatment plants, the town of Winter will officially end its previous centralized management.

"It's a lot earlier than I expected, but it should be a good thing."

"So, the tax is collected from this round of harvest?"

"Taxes...... Davy touched his chin and estimated the time: "I won't collect taxes this year, and I will start collecting taxes next year."

According to the calculation of time, the farmland in Winter Town can be planted with at least one more round of crops, and if David wants to, he will immediately start collecting taxes normally, and at least two rounds of agricultural taxes can be collected

。

However, considering that the unified management has just ended, and everyone has no personal property in their hands, this state may directly meet the long and cold winter, and some trouble may erupt.

Anyway, he didn't have to wait for one or two rounds of agricultural taxes to eat, so the "benevolent Baron Gramorgan" directly exempted all this year's taxes, so that the people could spend the winter in peace.

What's more, the residents of Winter Town have surplus assets in their hands to be able to open various shops, such as some tailors who originally belonged to the artisan group, who can open clothing stores.

Leathermakers who specialize in leather making can also open leather goods shops that sell leather shoes, leather jackets, and other items.

Only when all kinds of shops are opened, can the economy of Winter Town be normalized, otherwise it is better to manage it in a unified manner!

"My lord, in this case, the people need to hold currency in their hands, is there enough currency reserves here in Winter Town at the moment?" Weatherby Swan had wanted to ask this question for a long time, he hadn't seen the currency of this world since he had been in Winterfell.

"Rest assured, there is plenty of money in stock."

He brought back a lot of money from the royal capital, and later sent a lot of shares from Earl Sutton-Stewart, and David did not lack the coins of the Kingdom of Tiran, so it was no problem to maintain the internal economic operation of Winter Town.

"As for how to get this currency into the hands of ordinary residents...... Davy thought about it and found that the most reasonable way was to open a daily shop and use the money to buy food from ordinary residents.

At the same time, the shops sold daily necessities such as salt, spices, and sugar, and customers were required to use currency to buy, and soon the fiat coins of the Kingdom of Tiran could be used normally in Winter Town.

In fact, if it is an ordinary town, there is no need to worry about this kind of thing at all, but Winter Town is a little special, and most of the residents in the town are not natives of the Tiran Kingdom.

"In addition to opening daily shops, I will also directly use coins to hire craftsmen and build other facilities."
