Chapter 145: The Trade of Luxembourg
"No, my child, you still don't understand the charm of political art. He doesn't need to openly oppose the orders issued by the high-level, he just needs to delay or make a perfunctory appearance, and no one can say anything wrong with him. ”
In addition, although His Majesty, the Lord of Order, has very strict requirements for the rigor of the organization, he obviously does not pay much attention to the efficiency of practical work. The Duke shook his head and dismissed Rick's words. Obviously, we can see from these words that the Grand Duke is also a veteran of exploiting loopholes with policies and countermeasures.
Of course, this lack of attention is also relative. Priests who do not follow the organization may even be deprived of their divine positions at the worst, and if they are only inefficient, they will at most affect their promotion, although this is still very serious for most people, but for people like Kellius who do not attach importance to their positions, there is no binding force. The Grand Duke continued to explain in depth.
What the father meant was that the Father of the Kellius might have taken an attitude of neither opposing nor actively carrying out the decree from above, and then waited for the situation to unfold. Rick thought for a moment and reacted instantly.
Although he didn't know much about these before, after all, he was the number one as soon as he entered the officialdom, and coupled with his identity, he really couldn't use this method. But having played Fisher for so many years, he knows that many times, Fisher uses this strategy a lot of the time.
'No wonder it always feels weird when fighting this old fox, so that's the problem. Rick suddenly thought, 'It seems that I still have a lot to learn about politics.' ’
Rick nodded with satisfaction when he saw the Grand Duke on the screen, and then said, "Okay, I know what to do." ”
"In short, pay attention to the tone of your voice when you communicate with Father Keellius, knowing that he is not your subordinate, and that the success or failure of this matter itself does not have much effect on him. The Grand Duke concluded.
Rick naturally knew that the main purpose of the Grand Duke for him to win over Callius was not actually in the matter they had just discussed, but in another matter related to the fundamental matter of the Earl's family. However, what Rick doesn't understand is why the success or failure of this matter has no effect on Kyleus, you must know that although Kylelius himself does not pay attention to his duties, if he does not perform well in the confrontation with the Shadow Church, he will not have good fruit to eat.
The Grand Duke looked at his son, whose face was full of bewilderment, and patiently explained: "I have heard something from Julian and several other black bishops in the capital. After this event, Kylelius will be transferred to another place to serve as the official black bishop. After all, you're too small there, and even the Order Church wouldn't spend time putting a supernova like Keellius, which is rare in half a year, in that small place. ”
"Regardless of the outcome this time, he will be promoted when he makes a move. After all, he was the kind of person who didn't get the position he deserved, and the chief student of St. George was also a blackcoat. Moreover, the Six Rings Divine Technique plus the Six Rings Magic, and the unbelievable age of twenty years old of that person, even if it is the Order Church, there are few such talents. They will not give up this easily, and they will have a great chance of becoming future cardinals who are the pillars of the Church. ”
"So this incident, Father Kelelius is even more detached than those of us who have interests here, because it has nothing to do with him. The Grand Duke concluded.
"And we don't seem to have anything to do with it, but because we have a lot of industry here, most of the business in the west of the kingdom is concentrated here. So if the situation gets out of hand, our business will be dealt a fatal blow. ”
Rick drew inferences and said that he fully understood their current situation. And if they want to effectively stabilize the situation, or control the situation within the acceptable range, the priest of order is particularly important for Keellius.
"I have a very deep understanding, and most of the guys I just mentioned who are in favor of fighting here in the central government are some villains who are jealous of our business and want to sabotage our business or profit from it. Once this is a pot of porridge, the happiest people are not the Shadow Church who intend to create chaos, but those of them who intend to fish in troubled waters. The Grand Duke said in a loud voice with some helplessness.
Although the Grand Duke was outraged by the despicable actions of those people, he now had no effective means of countering them. After all, the Grand Duke is one of the top rulers in the kingdom.
But because the family's base camp is not in the capital or its vicinity, they have never had any good means to influence the central government's decision-making. Not to mention, both the royal family and Duke Koch are potential supporters of this policy, and it is only a matter of time before it is passed.
"Rick, that's what I'm going to tell you today, and I think you know that the chaos in the west has a big impact on the business of our business. The western border is an important transit point for our slave import and export trade, and I don't need to tell you how important it is. ”
As one of the core members of the Duke's family, Rick naturally knows the importance of this place to Bangui and the family's entire western trade strategy. After all, the slave trade is a trade in people, and because of the topography in other parts of the west, it is really inconvenient to transport these 'people' out of the country, either high mountains or hills, or swamps and dense forests, which are not suitable terrain for large-scale action of 'people'.
Only Banki is more suitable for the operation of a large number of humans and humanoids, and only as a military fortress, it is suitable for the area of Cyprus suitable for large-scale marching, and it is suitable for the large-scale slave trade of the Duke's family. This, together with the "Zusa" river that runs between Bangui and Cyprus Fort, provides a good transport capacity.
As a result, Banji gradually became an important stronghold of their western trade. Rick naturally knows that most of the reason why he came here to be the mayor of a small town in the first place was because of the important position here.
In a word, at all costs, there is no room for loss. I don't care what method you use, what the price you pay, or even you can call on all the resources of the family in the west. Here I have already instructed that the managers of all aspects will obey your orders completely. If you are not satisfied, you can be summarily executed, and I will give you this right. Speaking of this, the Grand Duke's tone was full of murderous energy, and it was clear that he was not just talking.
