Chapter 829: Background Change
Orr Town is very small, so the small turmoil that occurred on the first night of Ye Ling's first arrival here reached the ears of everyone in the town at the fastest speed, and people were surprised to find that this new lord was not a rookie sent by the dynasty to fool Orr Town, but a super newcomer who defeated the previous youth champion in the Gothic Holy War, who came out like a comet, he defeated the local Baron Oubo three times in half a minute, twice with one finger, and the third time without even raising his finger, Ye Ling's ability was spread to the gods.
Moreover, it is said that this new lord also served as the mentor of the sons of several powerful nobles in Twilight, and several vampire teenagers who studied with him were all very important, so the rumors were broken, and those great nobles were very well-informed, and it was impossible for them to send their children to a town that the dynasty intended to abandon.
So the news was like a shot in the arm, breathing life into the dead, negativity-ridden town of Orr, and although the town hadn't changed yet, they had at least seen hope.
However, some well-informed old local aristocrats are still a little worried. Because they have heard that some young nobles with potential go to places like Orrtown for other purposes, and they are likely to be arranged by the higher authorities to go here casually and go through the motions, because the worse the environment, the easier it will be to obtain merit evaluation, and they may soon become higher nobles, obtain more haode fiefdoms, and then leave again.
Therefore, even if this pre-earl is not mediocre, it still does not mean that the dynasty has an attitude of importance towards Orr.
The questions in the hearts of these old nobles did not stay for long, and the next night, Ye Ling made an appointment to meet with all the local nobles in the town for a meeting, of course, at this time, the attitude of the nobles has improved significantly, especially Baron Ou Bo and a few others who went to the town hall to make trouble the night before, they have personally experienced Ye Ling's amazing aura, and they are all in awe and awe.
At the appointed time, Ye Ling appeared in the conference hall on time, accompanied by Mill, and Eisen and other little vampires, who followed Ye Ling to learn, so Ye Ling would also follow when he solved the problem.
Walking to the front lord seat and sitting down, Ye Ling said slowly: "It's a pleasure to meet all the barons, I am the newly appointed Viscount Yi Lin in Orr Town, and I have gathered everyone over today, in addition to wanting to get to know each other, I also want to discuss how to manage the town in the future." Before I do that, though, I would like to state my attitude. ”
After a pause, Ye Ling said again: "Maybe, some people will think that when I come to Orr Town, maybe I will just mess around, and I will pat my ass and leave soon." However, here, I, Yi Lin, swear in the name of the viscount, and the pre-earl, I am definitely not here to mess around, I dare not say that I will restore the town of Orr to the glory of the era of the ghost king of Nicholas, but I will do my best to lead the town out of the predicament!"
Ye Ling's first sentence was to the point, if he didn't solve the questions of those nobles, they might not be able to cooperate with his work in the future, and it would not be so easy to manage.
Those old nobles who were skeptical couldn't help but be moved, Ye Ling's words were very sincere, and he swore by his title, which was a very heavy oath for vampires and vampires, if you didn't do it, you would be ruined.
The nobles glanced at each other, and then said almost in unison: "Viscount Yilin, welcome to you." ”
This most common polite sentence shows that Ye Ling has initially been recognized by the nobles, at least they no longer think that Ye Ling is the new lord sent by the upper authorities to perfunctory Orr Town.
Baron Ou Bo, who had a conflict with Ye Ling last night, said ashamedly: "Viscount Yi Lin, please forgive me for my rudeness, I sincerely apologize for having doubted you. ”
"Hehe, it's okay, I've always been very forgetful about unpleasant things," Ye Ling smiled open-mindedly: "What's more, Baron Oubo, you only care about Orr Town, on the contrary, I'm very happy to be helped by someone like you who loves his hometown!"
Ou Bo was still a little worried about being blamed by Ye Ling before, but now seeing that he has such a big heart, his heart is also relaxed, and he is grateful: "Xiexie, Viscount Yi Lin, if you encounter any problems when managing this town, I will be happy to help." ”
After a short exchange, the nobles found that Ye Ling was not only unpretentious, but also very funny, and the atmosphere was suddenly a lot more lively, at this time, a big nobleman said tentatively: "Viscount Yilin, so to speak, all the local nobles here are deeply in love with Orr Town, which is why we Weishenme are always reluctant to leave." However, we also have to tell the Viscount truthfully that this town is indeed facing a very difficult predicament, and I wonder what the Viscount thinks?"
The old baron asked the point, because it is not enough to have a serious attitude, after all, Ye Ling is too young, although he has strong personal ability, but he lacks management experience, he has drive and enthusiasm, but it does not mean that the decision he made must be correct, you can't follow Hu.
Therefore, this old baron's question can be regarded as a test for Ye Ling, if Ye Ling's answer cannot satisfy them, his future decision-making in Orr Town will not be able to be implemented so smoothly.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Ling, waiting for his answer. Ye Ling smiled slightly: "Actually, in my opinion, the situation in Orr Town is not bad!"
Everyone couldn't help but ask, Ye Ling's words were naturally not an official answer, but this response was really rare.
Other lords who came to Orr Town in the past will also encounter the same problem, but no one is embarrassed to say that Orr Town is not bad, is this Viscount Yi Lin polite, but it is inevitably a little too polite, right?
Moreover, Ye Ling added next: "I'm very serious, it's not just about taking care of the faces of the locals, the conditions in Orr Town are actually better than many places in the Imperial Dynasty, I am confident that I will quickly transform it into a new look." ”
This time, even the accompanying Mill was also dizzy, he had expected that Ye Ling would be questioned by the local nobles when he first took office, and gave him a lot of advice, but now Ye Ling didn't seem to adopt it, and his tone is still so big, the local nobles will definitely be disgusted by his frivolity, and the previous good impression is probably cultivated in vain.
Sure enough, all the local nobles frowned, and the viscount couldn't help but think about the problem too simply.
Mill hurriedly glanced at Ye Ling, hoping that he would be able to make amends, but Ye Ling said lightly as if he didn't realize it: "The bad situation in Orr Town is relative to the territory of the Vampire Dynasty. However, you may not have noticed that it has a unique advantage in foreign communication! As far as I know, there is a travel route near the town that is not too small, called the Moze Road, right?"
"That's right," an old baron's face suddenly glowed, "According to our ancestors, the Way of the Demon Ze once brought endless wealth and popularity to Orr Town, and the prosperity of the town back then was even comparable to many small cities of the Imperial Dynasty!"
Another old nobleman sighed: "I've heard of it too, but that's been a long time in the past, since the invasion of the alien position and the annihilation of nearby towns, the way of the demon Ze has been much depressed, and more business caravans have chosen other paths." ”
Ye Ling said, "Even so, there are still many caravans, mercenary groups, that will choose to pass through this route, as long as we can attract them, it will be enough to bring popularity and wealth to the town again." Now the town of Orr and the main territory of the dynasty are separated by several powerful alien force fields, which makes it very inconvenient to connect with the main border, so it is isolated, but it is precisely because of those alien force fields that the caravans, mercenary groups, and other guests passing by here rarely choose other towns of the dynasty as post stations. Moreover, many towns in the Imperial Dynasty have strict entry restrictions, and our Orr Town, because of its geographical location, has obtained an independent right of entry, that is to say, as a lord, I can modify the requirements for entering Orr Town at will, and I don't need to ask the Imperial Dynasty for instructions, these are our two huge advantages over other towns near the main border!"
There are two sides to everything, and Ye Ling learned from Roger how to turn problems into factors in his favor, Orr Town is so small, and the situation is far less complicated than the ancient and barbaric Jiuyang County, Ye Ling saw the key to it at the first time.
An old baron shook his head and said, "Lord Viscount, it's not that we haven't tried such a jihua, but we have failed, because even if those caravans don't go to other towns of our dynasty, they won't choose here, because there are several other small shili towns in the vicinity besides Orr Town." ”
Ye Ling asked rhetorically, "Weishenme, they won't choose Orr Town?"
"It's very simple, because our town is small, not prosperous, and unstable, even the previous lord ......" Speaking of which, the local nobles themselves are a little discouraged, and the owners of Orr Town are still unable to protect themselves, which is a very bad influence, who else dares to come here.
Ye Ling asked again: "Many years ago, the people of Weishenme liked to choose Orr Town because this town was bigger and more prosperous than any other Shili town?"
The nobleman was stunned: "That's not it, no matter how you say that Orr Town is a small place, there are some shili cities nearby, and they are still more prosperous than it." ”
"That's right," Ye Ling said with a smile: "The people on the Demon Ze Road used to like to choose Orr Town, not because it was more prosperous than other places, and now they have given up on him, it will not be because of its decline, but because the background of Orr Town has changed in people's minds!"
Everyone was surprised: "Background?"
"Yes, the background of Orr Town is ......" Ye Ling said word by word: "Vampire Dynasty!"
