Vol 2 Chapter 729: Talk freely (two in one)

"It should be known. Because according to him, a lot of metal material stress tests were done before the airship was built. At that time, a lot of iron ore was taken from the Zaxon mine for experiments, and as the owner of the mine. , The royal family should be aware of this.
Heilijia was arrogant, because he knew that although the Zachson Iron Mine was nominally royal, it was because the emperor was far away from the sky, and the Marquis Rogner had always been He was trusted by his famous royalist position. The emperor had already entrusted the management of the mine to him, and he himself delegated the management of the mine to his younger brother who has business management experience. Haider Rogner, one of the directors. However, what he might not have thought was that his younger brother started to make false accounts under the orders of Duke Kane shortly after taking over the mine. He smuggled out a large amount of iron ore behind his back and almost destroyed all the records, Olibate Even if he leaves for Lu Lei now, I am afraid I can only take a breather.
However, Duke Kane was not surprised by Heliga's trick. He showed a face of awakening very realistically-because he knew what Heliga said was not true, but he couldn't go to verify it, so he could only give up. But Heliga knows the truth: the iron ore used in the construction of the airship was bought by Olibate from all over the world, bypassing the nobility’s eyeliner, and the drawings and technology of the airship itself have already been used in Libel’s "Cai The "Sri Lanka Central Studio" has been thoroughly researched, and there is no need to conduct stress research that consumes a lot of materials, and it can be directly put into production and use-this is the real reason why the nobles can be traced.
It is just the similarity of political stance that can make Olibate and Cassius establish such a connection, and after various mediations, and after in-depth discussions with the queen, they negotiated this paper contract-and only profit. A country like Bell would agree to a treaty that would seem stupid to ordinary politicians. However, in Olibat’s view, this is exactly the ideal form of politics and governance he pursued, and Libel really did not let him down. The friendship he forged with this small country in the southern part of the empire during Libel’s change. Finally received a certain result at this moment.
"Oh... speaking of it, your Excellency and Your Highness seem to have met during Liber?" Seeing that there was nothing to say, the Duke of Kane had to change the direction and knock on the side. "Speaking of which, this is really enviable... A seemingly inconspicuous trip, but it has harvested important allies at the national and domestic levels, and with the help of this momentum, it has skyrocketed. If it hadn’t been for your Highness five times to express his opposition to the nobility, I’m afraid we would have been very Good friends."
"What you said is not quite right... His Royal Highness Olibat is opposed to the decayed noble powers. I think... I'll talk to you too. My father is in Kruchen State. The situation, you must be able to understand... Yes, he is the kind of person who doesn’t like to associate with other nobles and only wants to settle for one side. It stands to reason that he pays taxes normally, declares his territory to work, and goes to the public. Both the capital and the imperial capital, and then pass the title to their descendants when they are old... This kind of person who does not seek fame but seeks peace of mind, does not seek profit but seeks stability, but in the aristocratic atmosphere of Bariahat, cannot settle down... …"
"Is there such a thing?" Kane asked in surprise.
"Yeah...maybe out of his own considerations, Al Barrea himself seems to be extremely fond of financial careers, perhaps because he wants to invest in it... Almost all the nobles in the capital are in the imperial capital. Banks participate in investment projects, and some large companies’ local shares. They use this method to make money. But after all, people’s energy is always limited, and people are unprofitable creatures, even if Nobles are no exception. Under this circumstance, some aristocrats who were originally weak-willed became violent and short-sighted. They began to forcibly persuade local lords like my father to participate in their cause, and forced They join in the circle of noble friends in the Gongdu. If someone does not listen to them, they will try to distort it upwards and make the Duke of El Barrea angry, and sometimes there will be some... such conflicts without watching. ."
"This is really..." Kane smashed his mouth sympathetically, "So this is the reason why you are on the same line with His Royal Highness Olibate? Is this also the reason why you oppose the aristocracy?"
"No... I just said it. His Highness Olibat and I do not have any prejudice against the nobles. In Ereponia's nearly thousand years of history, most of the princes and nobles have participated... They Enjoyed the worship of people, but they also stepped onto the battlefield time and time again to defend the safety of the country and the people. For this, no one in the empire can ignore it. Even now, the empire’s The aristocratic system is decayed day by day, but there are still a group of outstanding aristocrats who have inherited this spirit... Far from it, my classmates Juss, Laura and her father are all commendable and have the fine traditions of imperial aristocracy. People-even though I have a lot of criticism about the occasional negligence of El Barrea under pressure, I can't deny the fact that under his governance, the public is increasingly prosperous. As for your Excellency, let alone- —The prosperity of the Haidu, the peaceful living and work of the people, and the complementarity of the surrounding urban agglomerations are not all due to your good governance? This is the prosperous second only to the imperial capital on the mainland. Compared with the kind of Krossberg, this is Powerful engraved in the bones."
"So..." Heliga's flattery made Duke Kane feel a little embarrassed, and his tone of voice was softened: "So you are not against the nobles, but just against the corrupters? "
"Yes. In every age, people of every class will have scum, but I don’t know why. At this time, the number of scums produced by the nobles seems to be a little too much... Their existence not only cannibalize the empire’s pride. The country’s system is destroying the voice of the nobles with good style, so I think you will agree that they must be eradicated. And don’t just think that I just have an opinion on the among the nobles.
See Kane With an unpredictable look on the public, Heliga calmly added: "The radical and desperate reformers are also not a good phenomenon. My father once had a pen pal, who was the bishop of the Imperial College in politics and imperial history. At the same time, he would also express some personal views on the political situation within the empire from time to time... However, just because some of his remarks did not conform to the wishes of the Prime Minister, he was ruthlessly removed from the ranks of lecturers. The people of "TMP" were arrested everywhere just to put him on an unnecessarily charge-in the end, he had to join the terrorist organization "Imperial Liberation Front" and was caught by...I in the previous operation. "
"That's it... what happened in the imperial capital..." The organization under his team failed for the first time. He later heard the rest of the members report it completely. At that time, he knew that there was a student of Tolz. He saved the emperor and captured Gideon by himself--and the story he told didn't seem to be inconsistent with his understanding of Gideon. As for the relationship with his father...hehe, wait until the imperial capital is captured, After the two cadres were rescued from the custody of "TMP", everything will be clear.
"Yes...I only learned about his relationship with his father later." Heilijia nodded, "However, I think if Zai has confidence in his own governance, he should be able to accept different voices around him. Even the Emperor. , And sometimes listen to some different opinions, and the imperial government is not the prime minister’s arbitrary political tool. Coupled with his unabashed determination to annex surrounding autonomous prefectures, it also worries those who have adhered to the imperial traditions since ancient times. Since coming to power ten years ago, he has been trying to involve the entire empire in an unpredictable and irreversible frenzy, and even himself is a in it-such a radical and crazy person is equally harmful to the empire Potential people in the future. It is precisely because of this that when Libel's mutation was over, Prime Minister Osborne suddenly visited and directly invited His Highness Olibate and me to join him, but we all chose to refuse."
"He invited His Royal Highness and you at that time?" Kane was slightly surprised. He knew that Osborne had some unrealistic ideas about Liber for a while, and after that idea failed naturally, he also Thinking of his recklessness and imprudent apology, he went to Liberty-but he didn't know what happened then. What Heilijia said just now really moved and attracted him, and this last point made Kane feel a little sincere.
"Yeah. But we all refused on the spot... He didn't show any disappointment, but made a posture of "I'm waiting for you." Let such a person be the helm of Ereponia's future... Tsk tsk, to be honest, it's really worrying. "
"..." Duke Kane frowned and stretched, and he could see that his trust in Heliga was unknowingly increasing. Observing this, Heilija decided to end the conversation called the meeting, which was actually a temptation: "So, Your Highness...If you were worried that My Highness Olibate and I will become a headache for you. Enemy is not so big. Going big, you are the most influential leader of the imperial aristocratic faction. We will not easily touch the inverse scales of such a powerful force. Going smaller, even if temporarily different positions , But as long as you maintain the traditional virtues and demeanor of the imperial aristocracy that I and your Highness admire very much. I think that even if we can’t be political allies in the future, we can still become friends who recognize and appreciate each other, no Is it? Of course, I know that as the heir to the little viscount’s family, I might be a little arrogant to speak like this..."
"...Haha, where." Duke Kane reacted and said hurriedly, "The so-called title is just a means to scare ordinary people. In the social circle of elite nobles, it has always been just a name, representing the family. The history and brilliance of the city, but it does not represent the ability of the current master. Besides, the title itself is ranked by military exploits and contributions to the country. Even the prime minister of civilian origin, Osborne, did not ask for his majesty. Is the name of an earl? And you are the strongest among the nobles of the new generation of the empire. Whether it is the summer solstice festival in the imperial capital or the deeds in the Garella fortress, it can be regarded as a heroic deed... Now because of some problems, there is no way to make it public, but if you continue to do this, you will sooner or later become a hero of the new generation of the empire, and an idol across the country. At that time, things like knighthood will not have anything you want. ?"
"You are polite." Heliga smiled modestly: "I can't guarantee that I still have that ability... These two times are just good luck, plus a little bit of effort and help from my companions."
"Okay... don't have to be humble." Father Kane patted Heliga on the shoulder friendly, and he could see that the hostility he had at the beginning had disappeared. Of course, he was not stupid enough to believe it completely just because of something. Helija-at least the result of this trial is still satisfactory to Duke Kane, "It is so young... that day will happen sooner or later. This conversation was very pleasant, although I was impolite and inadequate, but The conversation just now was also very enlightening to me. My time here is almost up...You and your classmates will take a break and get ready to take the vehicle to the next internship site."
"Yes... you have worked hard." Heliga nodded slightly, then stood aside to make way for Duke Kane. Heliga could hear that when Duke Kane said that he was leaving, there were a few messy footsteps, but Duke Kane himself did not hear it.
"Why, are you happy to hear?" When Heliga returned to the room where the students were, the atmosphere became a little strange. Although everyone pretended to be chatting happily, there was no way to fool Heliga's eyes.
"What?" Juses pretended not to know.
"You were eavesdropping just now. I know, don't lie to me." Heliga said calmly, "Although Duke Kane doesn't seem to know...but I hear your footsteps."
There was silence.
"What you just said...is it true?" After a while, Juss asked with some difficulty.
"It seems that you heard what I said about your father? Well, yes, you know that, I just saved your father some face in front of Duke Kane and didn't call him too bad. Actually. The current situation in Upper Kruchen State is almost all made by him. Those high tax rates and high-pressure bills against local lords have never been revenge for listening to the slander, but he took the initiative to collect more taxes. Changes made."
"..." Juss said nothing, lowered his head.
"Okay... this is your father's business, and it has nothing to do with you. Besides, it is not entirely his problem that Kruchin State has become bad. As I just said, his nobles use his name. There is no such thing as nonsense. Therefore, he cannot be blamed entirely."
"Yeah... don't feel guilty." Laura also persuaded.
"You two..." Euses was moved and raised his head.
"However, about your Royal Highness Olibate, you, and the Prime Minister... are they true?" Emma asked cautiously. Obviously, this is also a question that everyone else cares about.
