Vol 2 Chapter 13: Opening smoothly (Part 1)

The morning light is soft and not dazzling, shining on the deep forest castle above the hills. Standing at the top of the castle tower, Loren looked at the farm near the castle from afar.
Has entered the cold winter, even if the sun has risen, the cold wind is still biting pain. The hooded dark-haired wizard had a frozen face, but gently raised a smile.
Those knights riding horses in the fields near the castle are working with the guards of the castle to redefine the boundaries on the land, and the farmers who are holding wheat seeds in their hands are all smiling in the cold wind.
Sir Aaron ’s work was far more efficient than he had imagined. The field near the castle was measured in just one day, and for those farmers who had just acquired their own land, Shenlinbao also provided them with a small amount of Wheat species.
By the spring of the following year, they would be able to plant wheat, barley, and potatoes in their fields. They would no longer have to work for the lord lord for free for a year, and finally only barely enough food for the family.
Maybe a week, maybe as long as a few days, the news that these farmers got the land will spread throughout the count, and then all the tenants who have been robbed of the land will swarm in and ask Ruben Fried to serve them. Land guarantee.
As long as they can survive, they can withstand the torture of poverty and humiliation; but as long as give them a little hope, a seemingly reliable life-saving straw.
They will at all costs, even if they want to fight for their lives.
The bottom of the salary is what Loren's plan is-in the deep forest, Lonely Frid, who is alone, is too difficult and expensive to win the allegiance and support of the nobles. Therefore, it is better to change the way of thinking and get the loyalty of the vast majority of ordinary people in a more rude and direct way.
Of course, the rule without the support of nobles is also necessarily unstable. After establishing his prestige, the count still needed a group of nobles loyal to him.
But first of all, the Sena family and their cronies must be thoroughly suppressed. Then they re-supported the little nobles who had been squeezed to the edge, and firmly united beside the Earl of Shenlinbao.
Suppresses the old nobility and promotes the new nobility. The means of rule is nothing more than these. It is only a matter of time before the Senna family will be operated on.
The corners of Loren's mouth evoked a pleasant arc—of course, at the top of this empty tower, no one could see him like this.
"How do you feel?" A teenager who was "not a person" appeared beside him, sitting on the wall stack shaking his slender legs, but he could not hear a little emotion with a light smile: "The taste of must be enjoyed. ? "
"You seem to have made a mistake." Loren glanced at him helplessly: "The Earl of Deep Limburg is Ruben Fried, I'm just a little wizard advisor, not even a nobleman."
"Oh, is that really the case?" Asriel's voice was full of curiosity, as if soft enough to the soul: "But why, I think you are ruling the deep forest castle?"
"Eliminate the original military director, mediate the conflict between Butch and the Rand family, and reform the territory ... it all comes from your hand, the Lord Ruwin Fried, what does he have? A title that sounds good. Well, have n’t you obediently obeyed your orders? "
"That's just a suggestion, he can hear it or not." Loren retorted: "If I stand up and say I want to be the earl of Shenlinbao, what do you think is my best end?"
"Jump off the tower?" Asriel said with a joke, but his tone really didn't seem to be a joke.
Lorren rolled his eyes, too lazy to care about him.
"My dear Loren, you admit it." The young man's tone is full of temptation: "You are not the kind of person who is willing to kneel down to others, and you also desire power, desire to respond, and follow.
"Relying on this man named Lu Wen can really bring you a stable life? You will not be naive to this point. He can give you back naturally, you are just an optional wizard consultant around him. Only, when you have no use value, he will throw you away like rotten oranges! "
"If you are a man of fate, when the robber is persecuting you, you will not resist, nor will you choose to become a wizard, nor will you stand here-dear Loren Turin, you actually know yourself very well What it looks like. "
Loren remained silent, and continued to look at the distant field, but his brows were already frowned.
"If that's the case, why are you so resistant? Or ... just not willing to be led by my nose?"
Asrell chuckled lightly, his pupil exuding a strange light. The ice-cooled soft sound, like a snake walking around in my heart.
"... If you think you can be fooled by two words, it's a little underestimated." Loren, who slowly looked back, looked at the slender boy: "Next time, change the routine. . "
Finished, he turned to leave. The teenager, who sighed softly, had no expression of regret on his face, leaning his head on his shoulders with his legs bent, his eyes never leaving the figure of the dark-haired wizard.
"If you jump from this tower, even if you are a vampire, you must be crushed?"
The voice behind him turned Loren back, not knowing when Asrell had stood on the edge of the wall stack, and looked down curiously, as if there was really the urge to jump down.
"If you have faith, you won't." Shrugging his shoulders, Loren left the tower-even if he really jumped down, this guy could not be killed, and he didn't need to worry about himself.
"Who were you talking to?"
Just walked down the stairs, Sir Aaron, who had been waiting for him, glanced at him with a little confusion, and it seems that he has been standing here for some time.
"Nothing, just talk to yourself." Loren, who smiled slightly, quickly jumped over the topic: "Why are you here, Master Earl?"
"It's still inside." Sir Aaron, who had a serious look, didn't even bother to ask, pointing to the closed door opposite: "Consult with those nobles to see if they can solve the land problem."
Although he said so, his expression was not relaxed at all, apparently having no confidence in those nobles at all.
Lorren also agreed. If these people can surrender their land obediently ~ EbookFREE.me ~ then they will not stick to it now.
"The Earl told me that this reform is your attention." Sir Aaron turned his eyes to Loren: "Although I can also guess, this kind of almost wanton thinking is absolutely impossible to come out of his mind. . "
"But you have to admit that your approach really detered these nobles-otherwise they would not be afraid of being like this now, nor would they choose to negotiate with the count."
"You really won the prize."
"I'm not praising you." His voice was heavy: "Have you considered how dangerous it is to do this-what if these nobles choose to fight the count? They were originally vassals of the Seine family Once the rebellion is launched, the earl can only have the guards and guards of the castle! "
Looking at the other person's nervous expression, Loren could only nod: "You are right, this method is indeed very risky, and it will indeed make Lord Earl stand opposite the nobles of Shenlinbao."
"But you seem to have forgotten that from the beginning these noblemen in the Deep Limburg couldn't really be loyal to the earl. And now any good behavior will be regarded as a sign of the earl's weakness, not benevolence. "
"So why don't we just clarify everything, make those who are willing to allegiance to the Earl kneel down, and then destroy the diehards?"
Looking at the still closed door, Sir Aaron, who wanted to speak several times, finally remained silent.
Fairly speaking, what Loren said is not unreasonable, and can establish authority as soon as possible, eliminate those families who really resist, and also make the Earl's rule more stable.
He just had a slight hunch in his heart-Lord Ruben Fried, seems to be increasingly dependent on this "Wizard Advisor".
