[Location: Tino City·City Lord’s Mansion]
The Marquis of York was leaning on a cane, feeling a little better after having been gloomy for the past two days.
During this time, he suddenly felt that he was a little old.
First, his own henchmen were greedy and almost caused an explosion.
Later, the number of monsters lurking in the sewers increased dramatically, and they were also involved in disasters on the grassland.
So much so that he began to wonder if he had been playing too much with beauties such as succubi and fox-men in the past few years, and was starting to feel overwhelmed at work.
Fortunately, these things are discovered early.
The greatest disaster would be to wait until the hidden danger breaks out.
And it’s not without its benefits.
Dragon Bone Grassland is the largest meat producing area in the entire Tino City.
In the past few years, the farmers on the grassland seemed to have some evil intentions. For two consecutive years, they made four attempts to control the imperial capital's meat market.
Although the Marquis of York played tricks in private, he was really careful in handling government affairs, and he immediately gave them a good beating.
He saw the intentions of these farmers at a glance.
Controlling the market is false, but making money is true.
But making money is not their ultimate goal.
Since Lady Beatrice became the Queen's Supervisor, key elites in various fields have been promoted, and some have even been awarded titles.
The rise of these new nobles has led some people to see huge benefits.
Don't look down on farmers just because they deal with animals every day.
But as long as it's not a period when animal plagues are rampant, these farmers may not necessarily earn less than the emerging nobles.
The more you earn, the more you want.
Just like some people say that they are busier than the president, everyone knows Sima Zhao's intentions.
Becoming a new noble is the new goal of farmers.
In fact, wanting to become an emerging noble is nothing. The empire hopes that more people will pursue this position.
But there are so many people competing for the position of the emerging nobles, why should it be the turn of the farmers?
The Marquis of York couldn't help but think of the time when he went to see his deputy in private to recruit political staff for him in the early years.
There are many foundations for handling government affairs. Even in Tino City, where talents are gathered, it is not that easy to select people who are perfectly suitable for this position.
So there are bound to be people with sub-par ratings.
If the comprehensive score is calculated, it is almost below the threshold for entry, and he is about to be eliminated.
At this time, when the deputy asked, "Can you accept working overtime?" most of these people would say:
"Yes, I work very hard."
As a result, the city lord's mansion was full of people working overtime.
So here comes the question. For those farmers who don’t manage their farms well, don’t want to improve the quality of their meat animals, and master core animal husbandry techniques, what should they do if they want to compete with farmers who have real skills?
Obviously, there is a way to spread money.
The Marquess of York thought this was a very dangerous sign.
Today you take a shortcut, and tomorrow he takes a shortcut, and then it becomes a big impart for everyone to take advantage of?
Will anyone still be willing to stick to the path of technological development and strengthening the country by then?
Isn’t this just fishing in the marsh of sustainability?
As a qualified superior, the Marquis of York did not want to see this happen.
The Emperor is about to pass on the throne in the past few years, and the Marquis of York is thinking about where to set up some targets to help smooth the way for His Highness.
Who would have thought that the second princess and Prince Louis would just send the target over?
This made him so happy!
A ready-made target, a target that you don’t have to worry about, what else is there to say?
Then hit him hard!
Beat him until he is intimidated by anyone who wants to do the same thing!
There are not many opportunity courses that can be taken reasonably.
So, the next day.
The quick-acting Marquis of York gave his answer.
…
On this day, Olivia collapsed on the bed and didn't want to move.
She was in poor health and had never ridden a horse much.
Even if she had a saddle on her plan for this prairie run, it would be broken by her bumps.
Her little buttocks hurt, and if there weren't too many people on the carriage when she came back, she would have yelled for Lumi to apply medicine to her.
But she was really embarrassed.
After all...after all, how can I be embarrassed to say this in a crowded place.
"Your Highness, the City Lord's Mansion and the Secret Guard have given a reply."
The head maid bent down and applied medicine to the little swan.
It was early in the morning, and I could vaguely see a pair of crystal clear little feet swaying under the blanket, with a beautiful texture under the falling sunlight.
The size is not large, but it is better than the proportions, especially the nails that are evenly arranged like amber. After being applied with crystal clear medicine, they become clearer and more translucent.
Perhaps because the effects of the medicine were spreading, Little Swan's voice was a little confused:
"What happened?"
Lumi held a jade-like ball in her hand and pushed it on the little swan.
There is always a difference between being confused and awake, and Lumi has mastered another superb skill.
Under the heavy or light pressure of the jade stone, the little swan raised its neck slightly and made a labored and shameful sound.
But the pain passed, and as the cold potion intertwined with the hot skin, her frown gradually relaxed.
The warmth of the sun outside the window cannot suppress the rich autumn colors.
The same is true inside the window.
After confirming that the wound medicine had taken effect, Lumi whispered:
"The farmers who subjectively deceived them were found guilty of more than a dozen crimes by the Marquis of York."
"Including but not limited to using low-quality substandard meat to flood the local market, maliciously increasing prices after controlling the pricing power of meat products, passing off substandard meat and adulterating it with diseased animal meat, etc."
The little swan muttered:
"It's okay if Old York doesn't take action. He will never show mercy if he does."
"The farmer must be very sad now, right?"
Lumi nodded: "The most serious ones have already begun bankruptcy liquidation."
"Where's the Blackwater Chamber of Commerce?"
"It is said that when he was found, the street light had been hung up. It was a suicide."
Little Swan was surprised: "The kind of suicide where you were stabbed 24 times in the back?"
Lumi said: "No, the clean kind."
Little Swan shook his head and said: "If I had known this, why bother? I remember that the assets of Dragon Bone Grassland are very generous."
"How about using Sister Wang's money to buy a few farms?"
Little Swan feels that the recent "collision" with Huo Guo has become increasingly unsatisfactory.
What's even more disgusting is that many of the troubles were caused by herself.
Thinking of this, her silver teeth almost broke.
"Damn it, you're not really going to feed the pigs, are you? Then should I buy myself a farm first?"
Lumi looked at Olivia grinding her teeth and said inexplicably:
"You and His Highness Louis really have the same idea."
"ah?"
The little swan fell into a sluggish state.
Then he quickly reacted: "He paid for it?"
The head maid nodded:
"I bought it as Caesar. The farmers were eager to use money to smoothen their relationship and avoid being guillotined. His Highness Louis also used this to lower the price severely."
"In addition, the farmer already knows about the "Book of the Dead" incident. If this matter really gets serious, they won't even have a chance to plead for mercy."
"His Royal Highness's cash flow...is a bit too abundant. In order to circulate funds, the farmers urgently packaged and sold a large number of farms and meat livestock."
Olivia jumped up suddenly, touched the red and swollen PP, cried and howled again, and then said bitterly:
"They just gave away such a high-quality asset like this?"
"The shipment volume is too large, there are not many forces with so much liquidity, and the news is also lagging behind. His Highness Louis, this wave will be doubled in a few years."
Olivia was dumbfounded: "Doesn't that mean that even if I become an adult, I may not be able to mobilize as much funds as him?!"
Holding his numb buttocks, he said sadly: "This shouldn't be the case. It's obviously me who shakes them, and I lead the main force."
"What if I was far ahead as promised?"
"Why is it he who is full this time?"
The little swan has some defenses broken.
But thinking about the recent habit of breaking defenses, it seems that I am not so sad anymore.
At this time, Lumi said again:
"Her Royal Highness Beatrice has been busy with official duties recently. After much thought, she plans to officially announce her engagement ceremony with His Royal Highness Louis in advance."
The little swan's eyes gradually became confused, and finally became dull.
"This is impossible!"
There was no such thing in the previous life. Until Sister Wang was assassinated, the two of them did not advertise it widely, let alone have an engagement ceremony.
etc……
Little Swan broke into a cold sweat.
Could it be that she thought that her interference made Huo Guo shine and really aroused Sister Wang's favor?
"Is it me who brings Sister Wang and Huo Guo closer?"
How could I, who only wanted to break up the relationship, become the matchmaker for two people?
Big post!
