0113 It wasn't luck...... Or maybe it's luck?
Indeed, the Lane family's stall should be completely destroyed in less than two months.
After listening to the judgment of the princess, the Minister of Defense couldn't help but shake his head, and a rather strange sense of sadness appeared in his heart.
No matter who becomes the new Duke of Lionheart, he can only watch the Ryan family completely collapse, and the princess and herself, who are also "supporting the stall", are facing a much better situation than him?
At present, the power of the old aristocracy is deeply rooted, and nearly one-third of the more than two dozen major departments are controlled by the old aristocracy, like fat lice, entrenched in this country and sucking blood wildly.
In order to fight against the old aristocracy that controlled the House of Lords, the businessmen and parliamentarians who were raised also played a role in stifling in the early days, but after more than 100 years of development, they gradually became big and began to use the legislative power of the House of Commons, desperately trying to grab their own interests.
With the joint support of the upper and lower houses, the kingdom's control of business behavior has become more and more lax in recent years, and the kingdom's commerce has become more and more prosperous, but the taxes that can be collected have been rapidly reduced.
The wealth of the whole kingdom began to frantically gather in the hands of the big merchants and the old aristocracy, who were constantly getting stronger and fatter, while the common people and the country were constantly getting thinner and weaker.
These ills could have been barely suppressed, but the Great Patriotic War six years ago broke everything, and now the kingdom has been running deficits for many years, the military is lax, and the party is destroying everywhere, and all problems are on the verge of exploding.
Even with the efforts of the two generations of royal families, the financial power has returned to the royal family, and as a "royal girl", she has also taken the opportunity to be arched to the position of Minister of National Defense and has the ability to meddle in the military department, but the overall situation is still not optimistic.
If the princess's reforms fail in the end and fail to sweep away these chronic diseases, then the whole kingdom will be just a cabbage that rots slowly......
……
"Her Highness Veronica!"
Thinking of this, the gray-haired old man took a deep breath, then tried to straighten his slightly stiff back, and said with a serious expression:
"After the bloody night of Lane, there are a lot of vacancies in the military department, I am ready to take the opportunity to grab some more, if you have nothing else to discuss, then I will take my leave."
"Nope."
After shaking her head, looking at the Minister of Defense's hair that was much whiter than last time, the princess's eyes couldn't help but show a touch of warmth, and she said an extra sentence:
"You haven't looked good lately, so please pay more attention to your body.
I know time is pressing, but if you fall down from exhaustion, all these years of hard work will be in vain."
"Definitely!"
After a vague answer to the princess, the old man refused to let her get up and send her off, and strode out of the room with the two young officers, and when his footsteps were completely gone, the door of the room was knocked softly several times.
"Come in."
With the slight turning of the door shaft, a young man in a dark tweed coat with a lazy face walked in with his shoulders slumped and sat down on the chair opposite the princess.
"It's a good job."
Without caring about the impoliteness of the visitor, after raising the file belonging to the new Duke Lionheart in her hand, the princess smiled and asked:
"A man who has just been entered into the Lane family tree for a few days, and who doesn't even have blond hair, can become the new Duke Lionheart...... How the hell did you do that?"
"It's easy."
The lazy young man raised his eyelids, took out two dice from his bosom and placed them on the table, and then explained with a weak face:
"Without doing anything, the probability that the old duke will choose him is only three percent, and if five to seven heirs are killed and his succession to the top five is raised, the probability will skyrocket to fifteen percent.
After that, as long as you sneak into the hospital again, find the old duke's medicine, add some alchemy supplements that make the heart beat faster, and then kidnap the granddaughter of the old duke's most trusted housekeeper, and force him to deliberately provoke the old duke's emotions, this
The probability will increase to thirty-six percent."
Obviously, no one touched it, but as the lazy young man spoke, the two dice on the table kept beating and changing.
First, one is erected with edges and corners, and one is three-point; Then one by one, one by one, with five points; Then there were three points and six points, which was exactly the same number as the lazy young man said.
"Finally, order a wagon of fruit from the Banana Fruit Shop, and secretly remove the locks of the wheels, let the carriage overturn at the intersection, block the main road to the hospital, delay the arrival of that Leon, let him enter at the moment when the old duke is most emotional, and the probability of him being chosen will reach sixty-six percent......
With the lazy young man's narration, the two dice on the table flipped over, and all became six o'clock upwards, and his narration came to an end.
"The next thing is to rely on luck."
After pointing to the two dice on the table, the lazy young man concluded:
"As long as things develop in the end, within this sixty-six percent, he will be chosen by the old duke, but if it is not within this range, then it will be someone else who becomes the new duke."
"I see."
After listening to what happened, the princess gently slapped her palms twice, and then exclaimed:
"It's an amazing ability, even though I've worked with you several times, I still feel incredible after listening to you.
It's just some unrelated things, but as long as you do everything according to the requirements, you can increase the success rate of anything to about 60%......
"It's not about sixty percent, it's sixty-six percent."
After seriously correcting the princess's statement, the lazy young man pointed to the dice on the table and said:
"The dice on the left are ten digits, the one on the right is a single digit, and the maximum number of dice is only six points, so the maximum success rate can only be 66 percent."
"So, have you considered switching to two ten-sided dice?"
"No, only these two dice have that effect."
"Okay......
After blinking with some regret, Wang Nu took out a bearer check, put it on the table and handed it over.
"It's a good reward, and it's a pleasure to work with."
"I'm sorry, but it's going to cost a little more this time."
After folding the check and putting it away, the lazy young man said with a serious face:
"You didn't tell me before that Leon Lane is also an employee of our Sixth Cleanup Bureau, and he is very valued by the Director, so I actually took a considerable risk this time, so the price is ten percent higher than we said was good."
"I'm okay with the cost."
After frowning slightly, the princess did not open her mouth to refute, but after thinking about it, she made a request:
"But this part of the cost was not agreed before, so as compensation, you also have to use these two dice to answer me one more question."
"Yes."
After nodding and agreeing to the princess's proposal, the lazy young man grabbed the dice and asked:
"What do you ask?"
"It's the same as before."
After taking a deep breath, Wang Nu closed her eyes slightly and said softly:
"What the hell do I have to do to save this country?"
