Chapter 503: [Refusal]
Chapter 503 [Refusal]
Fiona felt ignored.
Ever since she arrived at Governor Fritz's home estate yesterday and met the former Governor of the East China Sea, Fiona sensed that the former Imperial Governor was deliberately ignoring her.
As the head of the Tulip family, who had dominated the imperial capital for many years, Fiona had naturally met the governor, and more than once, and the two sides were also quite familiar.
Yesterday, however, whether the Governor went out to greet him, or at the table at dinner, it was as if Fiona had been treated as air, as if he had never seen such a person appear from beginning to end.
Even his eyes didn't drift to him at all.
This made Fiona a little depressed.
So, this morning, Fiona quietly walked out of the room by herself, and without seeing anyone, she walked into the main house of the manor alone.
"I ask to see Governor Fritz. β
Fiona made her own request to the old butler in the manor.
The butler looked at Fiona, and his attitude was quite polite, but he smiled and shook his head: "I'm sorry, honorable guest." Our lord is not in good health and can no longer see guests. β
"I have important things. Fiona said: "Please also be sure to inform me, just say that Fiona of the Tulip Family has asked to see the Governor of Fritz and has important matters to discuss." β
The butler frowned, he quietly examined Fiona for a while, and then sighed softly: "Miss Fiona, why are you doing this?"
β...... What do you mean by that?" Fiona looked a little nervous.
The old housekeeper, a hint of sharpness suddenly flashed in his cloudy old eyes, and he said softly: "The attitude of our master is actually very clear. β
"I ...... I don't understand. Fiona bit her lip.
The old butler sighed: "Let me tell you this, the master has already ordered it last night." Anyone can see you these days...... The only ones who don't see the tulip family are there. Speaking of this, the old butler seemed to smile: "Moreover, he asked me to tell you." In this house there is now only 'Old Monsieur Roman Fritz', and there is no 'Governor Fritz'. I think you should understand what the lord means when I say that. β
Fiona's face changed, and she left silently.
......
......
Sitting on the big bed in the bedroom, Fritz quietly listened to the old butler's announcement, then nodded, coughed a few times, and waved his hand to let the butler go out first.
"Looks like your guess is quite accurate, sir. β
Chen Daolin was sitting on a chair next to the bed at this moment. He looked silently at Governor Fritz. smiled: "You also see the woman's intention?"
Governor Fritz smiled faintly, a little tired in his smile.
Chen Daolin immediately said: "I must tell you, I didn't bring her on purpose, what she wants to do doesn't mean it." I just accidentally saved her life halfway through. And when she knew I was coming to see you, she had to follow. β
"The Tulip family has such courtiers, which can be regarded as their blessing. Governor Fritz smiled wryly: "I don't get mad about it. β
After a pause, the old man coughed a few more times, and his face flushed. Only then did he gasp and said, "She came just to recruit me, an old guy." Hey...... Although I have lost power, I can be regarded as a governor for more than ten years, and I am on the ruling side. It's kind of a trick. Tulip's family, the family is big, and I probably want to recruit this old guy to work for them. β
Chen Daolin immediately said, "You are too polite. Your Excellency the Governor, you have been ruling the East China Sea for more than ten years. Whether it is people's livelihood or finance, it is a remarkable achievement, if I am talking about it, look at all the provinces of the Roland Empire today. You are the first governor of the world, if not...... Then in the future, the position of the prime minister should be you to sit. I've always believed that you are a true prime minister. β
"The genius of the prime minister......" Governor Fritz smiled miserably: "Well, I have already said, now in this house, there is no governor general, only an old man named Roman." Master Darling, if you don't dislike it, please call me Roman. If I say anything more about the Governor, then I'll be angry. β
"All right, Roman. Chen Daolin simply changed his name, and then stared into his eyes: "Then what do you really think in your heart? Is it really that your life is wasted so much in this old mansion in the countryside?"
"How much life does my old man have. Governor Fritz sneered: "An old life, just a long life." You can bring Lucius back to me, so that I can see my son before I die, hold his hand in bed, and close my eyes after my last wordsβthat's the best ending I can think of. β
Chen Daolin was silent for a while: "Then, what about your ambitions in life?"
"Ambition?" Governor Fritz laughed and looked at his body: "An old man lying on a hospital bed, a guy who will die of gasping after two steps, what ambitions are you talking about." Besides......"
"Besides, Xi Luo is thinking, with his age, he is afraid that he will be the emperor for a few decades, and you don't think you have any chance to come out again, right?" Chen Daolin deliberately said straightforwardly.
"......" Governor Fritz glanced at Chen Daolin deeply: "You are right, that's it." β
"What if I say...... I'd like to ask you to go out of the mountain?"
Chen Daolin stood up suddenly.
Governor Fritz's body shook, and he looked up at Chen Daolin's face, and then his eyes narrowed, narrowing into a line!
"Out of the mountains?"
"Out of the mountain!" Chen Daolin said solemnly.
Governor Fritz's eyelids drooped: "Although I am in my hometown, the news is a little closed, but I also know some about the situation in the northwest, I heard that Master Darling you have a foundation in the northwest, but it is just ......"
"It's just that I have very little land, and my population is only more than 10,000. In such a big place, it would be too ridiculous to ask you to come out of the mountain to help me. Chen Daolin said with a smile: "You once sat in the East China Sea, a huge province, not to mention a million under your command, several large fleets at your disposal, a piece of military order, there are tens of thousands of armor. With the stroke of a pen, thousands of riches can be mobilized...... If you run to me, it will be too condescending. A talent of a prime minister. Go and run to a land of less than a hundred miles......"
Governor Fritz looked at Chen Daolin quietly: "Master Darling, it stands to reason...... With your kindness to my family, I only say that you saved my son and brought him out of the imperial capital, and I owe you a great favor. If you want me to do something, I shouldn't say no...... But it seems to me that you don't really need me for your current foundation. It's not that I'm conceited...... You only have a hundred miles now...... Naturally, the talent needed is only a hundred miles. If you really don't have enough manpower...... I still have a few old subordinates in my family, all of whom have been with me in the East China Sea for many years. The talents are all good, and the governance of a hundred miles of land is more than enough. β
Chen Daolin smiled bitterly in his heart: Speaking of which, he himself refused.
......
Does Chen Daolin want to recruit Fritz?
Of course I want to!!
Does Fiona want to recruit Fritz?
I want to think without a doubt!!
Who is Fritz? The First Governor of the World! Putting aside the contradiction between his position and Shiloh, in terms of talent, he is definitely the top figure among the talents that can be found in the current officialdom of the Roland Empire!
For more than ten years, he turned a poor and porous province of Newhoven in the East China Sea like a sieve. Governance became one of the richest regions of the empire! whether it was military strategy, civil affairs, financial management...... He's good at almost everything!
And the character is resolute and upright. Standing upright, there is no lack of wisdom and flexibility!
Such a character is definitely a prime minister who sits in the center and leads the overall situation!
Speaking of solicitation, Chen Daolin also had to admit it. In fact, the best way out for Fritz should be the tulip house!
Tulips are big families and can provide a place for Governor Fritz to display his talents.
But Fritz rejected Fiona, and refused to even meet this woman. deliberately ignored this woman from beginning to end.
After thinking about it, Chen Daolin roughly understood what Governor Fritz meant.
This old governor is not a fool, he has seen from his experience in the sea and his old spicy eyes that in the long run, the Tulip family will definitely stand on the opposite side of the emperor! The contradictions between the two sides are almost irreconcilable.
Although the old Fritz was deposed by the emperor and thrown back to his hometown. But, in fact, from the bottom of his heart, Governor Fritz was loyal to the empire and to the country.
He should be a typical patriot.
He doesn't love the emperor, not the royal family, not even the government, he just loves the country.
Therefore, he knew that if he took refuge in the Tulip family, he would help the Tulip family against the emperor...... Then it is likely to bring great turmoil or harm to the country.
He'd rather let himself rot at home!
If it's someone else...... was so angry with Shiloh, he would have followed Fiona to Tulip's house in the Northwest at this moment, and then fought with Shiloh with all his might, and took revenge!
However, Governor Fritz's "brainlessness" won Chen Daolin's more respect.
......
"Well, even if you don't want to go out for a while...... Well, at least take care of your body first. Chen Daolin smiled bitterly: "No matter what, it's always good to live a few more years." β
Seeing that Governor Fritz seemed to be indifferent, Chen Daolin's tone suddenly changed: "Lucius has reached adulthood, and his previous marriage has also been annulled? He is still single now, don't you want to live to see him get married? Or even live to see him get married and have children, and give birth to a future successor to the Fritz family for you? Let me tell you the truth, this son of yours, this apprentice of mine, is really talented in other aspects...... Don't mention it. In his life, he has been dealing with magic.
In the future, when he has a son, what can Lucius teach his son? He will teach him a few magic spells...... I'm afraid it's a big failure. Do you want your Fritz children and grandchildren to become magicians?
Don't you want to take care of your body, live a few more decades, and then pass on what you have learned all your life to your grandson? Lucius's generation is doomed to be hopeless, and to revitalize the Fritz family, we must always look to the third generation. β
After saying these few words, Governor Fritz's eyes suddenly gave off a few glimmers of light.
"...... Third generation ......"
Chen Daolin saw the change in old Fritz's eyes, knew that his words had a certain effect, and stood up with a smile to say goodbye.
He needed to give the old man a little time to think.
......
Chen Daolin's method was actually very simple, that is, to arouse the ambition of the old Governor Fritz.
Or to put it bluntly, the old governor is so decadent now. Mainly because I feel that there is no hope for life and nothing to do.
At this time, as long as you can set up a goal in your life and set up a big thing for him, an important task needs to be completed.
If he succeeds, then he will inspire his own fighting spirit!
As for the disease......
Chen Daolin had already examined the old Fritz.
Old Fritz's illness wasn't too difficult to treat.
He probably suffered from a cold when he returned to his hometown before, and when he was disheartened, he didn't pay attention to taking care of his body, so he had a fever for a while.
Then I got some problems with my respiratory tract, and I always coughed. It lingered and lingered, and it has not been cured.
Now it has gradually become a problem similar to slow tracheitis.
This problem can be mild or severe.
If it is in the level of medical skills in the Roland Empire, I am afraid that it will be able to support for a period of time, and you can close your eyes.
But for Chen Daolin, a traverser......
Tracheitis?
It's not easy!
Darling's storage ring still contains some medicines from the real world!
If nothing else, a few antibiotics will go down...... People in this world have never used antibiotics, so there is no zΓ i resistance, and the effect of antibiotics will be particularly good.
What is tracheitis and the like. Isn't it easy?
First use antibiotics to eliminate inflammation, and then take good care of the body, supplemented by some treatments in the middle, to stimulate the recovery of his vitality......
It won't take long. A healthy Fritz governor will be back in the spotlight.
But only if it ...... The old man himself had to give up his will to die.
If he doesn't want to live anymore, then no matter how strong the external force is, he can't keep him.
......
Chen Daolin left Governor Fritz's bedroom and returned to the gate of the courtyard where he lived, when he saw the woman Fiona standing and wandering outside the courtyard gate.
Chen Daolin walked over: "What's wrong." Miss Fiona, are you waiting for me here?"
When Fiona saw Chen Daolin coming back, her face was a little complicated: "You...... Did you go to see Governor Fritz?"
Chen Daolin shrugged his shoulders: "You know. I'm still a good pharmacist, and my medical skills are so-so. β
Fiona took a deep breath and said, "Of course I admire Master Darling's methods. Miss Jill's eye disease, the world's doctors and magicians were helpless, and you finally cured it. With you here, Governor Fritz will surely recover soon. β
"Needless to say, it's a compliment. Chen Daolin shook his head: "I like to go straight, let's say, what are you looking for me?"
"I'd like to ask you to do me a favor. β
Chen Daolin immediately shook his head: "Don't help!"
As he spoke, he immediately went out into the courtyard.
Fiona was anxious: "You, you wait!" She caught up and grabbed Chen Daolin's sleeve: "I haven't said what I want you to do for me, and you refused?"
"Okay. Chen Daolin stopped: "This doesn't seem to be polite, you say, what do you want me to help?"
"I would like to ask you to bring me a few words to Governor Fritz, preferably so that I can meet with him......"
"Is that the request?" Chen Daolin blinked.
"Yes! β
"Well, watch the shape of my mouth. Chen Daolin stared at Fiona, and then smiled: "No!
With that, he turned and walked away, and walked into his yard as fast as he could, and then slammed the door shut, nearly flattening Fiona's nose.
"Bastard, bastard!!"
