"Really, really?"
A nobleman asked cautiously."
Of course it's true."
Owen looked at the nobleman, "However, no matter how much I say, you may not be able to believe it, so you might as well let the original nobles under the new system talk to you about how much this reform has brought them." ”With that, Owen turned around and glanced at the three nobles standing beside the soldier behind him.The three nobles nodded in understanding, and then stepped forward to Owen's side.Then, Owen raised his hand and introduced the three nobles who accompanied him."
This is Baron Matt from Haven, and the other two are Viscounts and Barons from the Eastrise Fortress."
According to the script given by Owen, Baron Matt glanced at the nobles of Waterfront City with some contempt, and couldn't help but shake his head a few times and sigh."
Alas, you guys, you are really pedantic, you will only stick to the territory in your hands, and you don't want to make progress, and you can't see the opportunity to make a lot of money in front of you, I really feel sorry for you."
These words made the nobles of Linshui City very uncomfortable to hear, and a viscount with a relatively short temper couldn't help but step forward and scold."
How do you kid talk?
How dare the little baron be so rampant?!
”If it weren't for the presence of His Majesty, he would have even wanted to rush up to Baron Matt."
Little baron?"
The corners of Baron Matt's mouth rose slightly, and he said disapprenously: "Hmph, Baron is just my title, don't you have to obey the king's order?"
Then your title is the same as mine, it is just an honorary title, and there is no high or low status.Suppressing me with a knighthood is a matter of disobedience to the king's decree. ”"This ......"
Hearing this, the grumpy viscount panicked a little, and hurriedly explained to Owen: "Your Majesty, I didn't mean that, but I was stimulated by Baron Matt's words. ”"I understand."
Then, Owen turned to Baron Matt and said, "You restrain a little." ”"I'll take note, Your Majesty."
After replying to Owen, Baron Matt looked at the nobles of Waterfront City again and asked, "I'll just ask you a question, how much income have you generated from operating your territory in the past year?"
”"Eight hundred gold coins!"
The grumpy viscount was the first to answer, and looked at Baron Matt rather proudly, thinking that this was a number that the baron could not climb.Other nobles also reported their income in the past year, and the level was not good, and the financial income of Linshui City was not even comparable to the previous Dongsheng Fortress.After everyone had finished answering, Baron Matt shook his head in disgust."
I'm embarrassed to have this income."
This was evidently addressed to the irascible viscount, who then reported his income: "I have earned fifteen hundred gold coins for the past year. ”The other two nobles of the Dongsheng Fortress also said that their incomes were much higher than those of the nobles of Waterfront City, except for the Earl of Munster."
It can't be!"
The grumpy viscount looked incredulous, "Are you making up random numbers to lie to us?"
How could the little baron make more than I did?
”To prove that he was not lying, Baron Matt did not hesitate to raise his right fist."
I hereby solemnly swear to His Majesty the King that everything I have just said is true, and there is absolutely no element of deception.""
I can testify that Baron Matt is indeed not lying."
Owen duly spoke, "This is what they will gain from this reform, and you will get a piece of the pie as long as you obey the king's orders." ”"Your Majesty is right!"
Baron Matt continued to take advantage of the fire to hit the railway: "Now that Laifeng Harbor has built a dock and various factories, I have so much income just by paying dividends every year.Since the territory cannot be fully developed in your hands, it is better to hand it over to His Majesty the King......"
Listening to Baron Matt's words, the nobles of Linshui City suddenly felt a little moved, if they can really get more benefits than before, they don't want the territory in their hands.The original unease was gone, and the nobles of Waterfront City couldn't wait to hand over their territory in exchange for a stake in the factory.Next, the People's Army entered the city in a mighty way and took over the defense of Linshui Castle and the lord's castle, and the original guards and knights were dismissed on the spot.The officials who came to bring it also began to get busy, forming a new town hall.In this way, there was no war between the two sides, no casualties, and control of Waterfront City was transferred to Owen very peacefully.For the next few days, Owen would stay in the castle for the next few days, taking care of various matters, such as the recruitment of knights and guards, the placement of new positions for nobles, and so on.During this time, the fleet led by Viscount Jarvis successfully arrived at Junhui City, joined the People's Army on standby outside the city, and then led them to attack the stubbornly resisting Golden Acropolis.…… A village on the border between the northern and western borders.As soon as he heard about the royal decree, the Duke of Lyman and the Duke of Edward of the Westlands hurriedly chose to meet here."
Duke Edward, I'm right, the Puppet King is finally going to attack us."
Holding the report given to him by his subordinates, Duke Lyman said with a serious face: "Fortunately, we decided to join forces last year, and after such a long time of preparation, the blacksmiths have created enough muskets and cannons, and I believe that these are enough to deal with the army of the puppet king." ”"Since the puppet king is ready to destroy the foundation of the Dawnlight Kingdom for hundreds of years, then we don't need to be polite to him."
Duke Edward was also mentally prepared for war, and his expression became stern."
Duke Lyman, our army in the west has been assembled, what should we do next?"
Spreading out the map on the table, Duke Lyman stretched out his hand and pointed to a flat and open place on the map, far from the pilgrimage river."
Bring muskets and artillery, let our army meet in this place, and then set up camp and prepare all kinds of traps and ambushes.When the time comes, lure the puppet king's army over, and we will be able to defeat them by taking advantage of the terrain!
”"No problem!"
Duke Edward stood up from his seat, "I'll go back and lead the army over, and you should do it as soon as possible." ”"Wait a minute, Duke Edward."
Duke Lyman suddenly stopped the other party, and a grim smile appeared on his face."
After overthrowing the puppet king, don't forget the terms we negotiated in private.""
Of course I won't forget."
Duke Edward also smiled wickedly, "In the future, the Dawnlight Kingdom will be ours." ”After the other party left, Duke Lyman put away his smile, and his eyes became cold and ruthless."
What an obedient pawn."
He muttered quietly.Both of us?
It's ridiculous, you want to carve up the Morning Light Kingdom with me, you don't have the qualifications yet!

Just as he had poisoned Earl Hogan after using him, Duke Lyman was ready to get rid of Duke Edward after joining forces to bring down the puppet king.
