Chapter 40: Conversation II

As for the people below who heard Austin's short speech, although there are some places that they can't understand, but as long as they have talent, they can be canonized, and they still understand, as for what talent is, just kidding, what kind of talent do these people canonized today, they are all carpentry, although the feeling below is that they can't compare to them, but they are all here, and who is much worse than whom, isn't it? Since they can be canonized, they all have a chance. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but get excited.

"First of all, the canonization of the individual, Kalian, the production of the Zhuge Repeater, the improvement of the multiple repeater, and the canonization of the viscount. Austin said, and there was applause below. Karene walked up in the dust, a little at a loss, and picked up the medal.

"Anything to say?" Austin asked.

"Your Highness, I won't say anything. ”

Austin knew that Karen didn't like to say anything that had nothing to do with research, so she didn't want to force it, and Karen left and went straight to the lab.

The canonization continued, and this time a total of one viscount, seven barons, and twenty-three lords were canonized. To be honest, such a large-scale canonization of nobles, except after the war between the empire and the kingdom, a large number of nobles have died, and this is the first time.

Although Austin has always felt that the craftsmen in the town can have any level, the real power must be in the royal capital. However, at this moment, I have to admit that really good people are really everywhere, and I can't help but feel that if I don't guide them, I'm afraid that these people can make a world like steampunk that is wrong with the technology tree.

This wave, the canonization naturally made the nobles in the town feel a great humiliation, because these nobles are just barons, lords, after all, the lord who canonized them is just a viscount, but, as a royal family, Austin has the right to canonize a viscount, so he suddenly found that his title is lower than a group of mud legs, how can this live.

The nobles who were originally a little hesitant basically made up their minds in this canonization. Some things are humiliated because they feel that these mud legs can be equal to themselves, and they are not afraid to think like this. And there are some people who have found a crisis from Austin's canonization, one is that Austin wants to do big things, and if he can't get the support of the aristocracy, he simply eliminated the aristocracy, and the other is that this move may not have much support from the common people, but it will definitely make the aristocracy of the three major forces hostile, if he refuses the plan at this time, he is afraid that he will be regarded as the same party.

Austin has always been clear about the movements of the aristocracy, what they are thinking, Austin can roughly guess it, and also knows what the consequences of these words are, and the good consequences are naturally his own expectations, and the folk masters will defect. But it's good to think about this matter, in the era when knowledge was monopolized by the aristocracy, the masters of the people were also craftsmen. If you want to govern the country, you have to rely on yourself to cultivate.

As for now, it is naturally going to be carried out according to the plan, this time the stakes are very high, and Hothorne, who has been following him, has been transferred out, at this moment he has taken some people to the small hillside outside the city to secretly put the assembled repeater, this matter is not small, so except for Hothorne, no one can do it in terms of the current manpower, after all, there are a large number of noble people in ambush on the small hillside, if you want to completely avoid these people, you must be able to detect them, and if you want to do this, the strength required can be imagined. Probably there was no one but Hawthorn.

After Hawthorn arranged the manpower, even the crossbow was set up and camouflaged with grass, everything had been arranged, much better than expected at the beginning, but Hawthorn was still a little worried, after all, this plan, in order to let the nobles feel at ease, was to let His Royal Highness personally bait and leave, so it was better to be careful, so Hothorn probed again before leaving cautiously.

When Austin completed the canonization, Hawthorn came to his side out of nowhere, and did not alarm anyone, Austin knew that the matter was done, so he returned to the lord's hall according to the rules and met with the nobles who came this time.

After chatting for a while, a person hurriedly walked in and whispered something to Hawthorn on the side, Hawthorn frowned slightly, and said to Austin: "Your Highness, there are some people making trouble outside, I'll go and see." ”

"Go ahead, there's nothing wrong with me in the hall of the lords. Austin said disapprovingly. Hawthorn hurriedly followed the man away.

After seeing Hawthorn leave, after chatting for a long time, a nobleman suddenly asked: "Your Highness, I heard that you wanted to go to Xiaoshan before, and I hope I can go with you to have a look." ”

Austin listened, was stunned, smiled and said: "It's really hard for you to remember this matter, I forgot it, it just so happens that since you mentioned this matter, I'll take a look......"

With that, Austin looked at Chris and asked, "Do I have any urgent business today?"

After Chris looked at the records, there was nothing going on, but although he didn't know what these nobles were doing, he instinctively felt that things would definitely not be so simple, and at this time he invited His Royal Highness Austin to the suburbs, and said: "Last night, I received a villager that a group of bandits appeared, and we need to be vigilant to find out, there is nothing else." ”

After listening to Chris's words, the nobleman looked at Austin with some concern, worried that Austin would be afraid of the bandits and not go out, so that his plan would be frustrated, but he had never heard of the matter of bandits yesterday.

"Leave this to Hawthorn, and let him take the guards to see what the hell is going on. Austin said to Chris, then looked at the nobleman who had invited him, and said, "Let's go and have a look." ”

Austin's words made the nobles breathe a sigh of relief, although Chris lowered his head after reporting the itinerary plan, but he had been secretly observing the nobles, and seeing the nobles' relieved performance after listening to His Royal Highness Austin's words, it was definitely greasy. What's more, it just so happened that after Hawthorn left, he sent out an invitation.

"Your Highness, do you want to tell Lord Hawthorn about this, and make arrangements in advance, if you go out like this, there will be a certain danger. After hearing Austin's words, Chris immediately spoke to dissuade him.

The nobleman was just a little happy when he heard Austin's words, and was frightened by Chris's words, for fear that Austin would obey Chris's arrangement and look at Austin cautiously.
