The city of Durrekton is slightly souther than the city of Severwell, but the snow that has invaded from the north still covers the entire city of Durham in the morning, dyeing the whole city in a snow white.

Earl of Michelle put down the letter in his hand and looked up at the window.

Outside the window, the snow is shrouded, and an icicle is hung on the branch. It looks particularly beautiful. It also indicates that next year, Durham City is likely to usher in a bumper year.

But Earl of Michelle didn't have a bit of joy at the moment, but instead fell into a bit of anxiety.

His Royal Highness Prince Eric apparently had a deep dissatisfaction with the Earl of Longli and Xu also privately, and even invited the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce to invest in Barcelona, ​​and even screamed in the reply to the Earl of Michelle that the Count of Longli was a A traitor not only betrayed His Royal Highness Prince Eric, but also betrayed his dead father.

Perhaps because of the anger caused by Count Ronley, His Royal Highness Prince Eric was equally dissatisfied with the proposal by the Earl of Michelle whether he should cooperate with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. The lines were full of doubts about the Earl of Michelle, and even Questioning, it is only a matter of asking if the Earl of Michelle wants to be a traitor.

The Earl of Michelle was not surprised by the reaction of His Royal Highness Prince Erik, but he was disappointed that His Royal Highness Prince Eric had only known how to express his anger in this situation.

Before he really understood what the Earl of Longley had contacted for Xu, he directly judged that Count Lonley was a traitor. This is very stingy in the eyes of Earl of Michelle.

Even the Earl of Longli has indeed been in contact with Xu. It is indeed inviting the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to invest in Batru City, but this is not the same as his betrayal of His Royal Highness Prince Eric, and it does not mean that the Batru City and the Longli family will be transferred to the side of His Royal Highness Servini.

At this time. The correct course of His Royal Highness Prince Eric should be to find out the situation and clearly understand the thoughts of the Earl of Longley before making judgments and decisions, instead of pushing the Earl of Longley directly from the beginning.

He has positioned the traitor to the Count of Ronley, and even if Count Lonley did not really betray the idea of ​​His Royal Highness Prince Eric, in this case, he was afraid to be forced to leave.

The supporters of His Royal Highness Prince Eric in the northeastern provinces were not particularly numerous, only himself, the Earl of Longley and the three counts of Earl of Wellett.

Now he defines the Earl of Longley as a traitor. I still question myself in my heart. Is it going to abandon the support of the entire northeastern province?

The city of Lem, the Earl of Weir, is the largest city in the northeastern province. However, with the help of the city of Lemite, it still cannot represent the entire northeastern province.

What's more, compared to Count Satsuma, the staunch supporter of His Royal Highness Serevini in the city of Severs, the Earl of Weil is probably not strong enough.

Moreover, the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce has also entered the city of Serval for investment. If you give Satsuma and Server a few years to make the city of Sewell develop into the same city as Bangta, then the entire northeastern province will probably have to look at the face of Count Satsuma.

Thinking of this, the Earl of Michelle suddenly gave birth to a deep sense of exhaustion.

His attitude to His Royal Highness Prince Eric made him somewhat unhappy, and His Highness Prince Eric’s way of dealing with things made him even more disappointed.

He even felt that his original choice was a bit wrong.

"Maybe... would it be better to choose to support His Royal Highness Servini?"

This thought was just born in the mind of Earl Michelle, and was immediately thrown out by his head.

As an old aristocrat who is almost 60 years old and has experienced several changes in the political situation of the kingdom, he even has a reason.

That is in the most intense competition. There are winners and losers, but the most unpopular, but always vacillating people.

Earl of Michelle sighed. Pinch the forehead, let your look calm down, pick up the ringing bell on the table and gently shake it, and call your own housekeeper.

"Look up, what did the Earl of Longli and Xu also do in the two days together. Even if they said something, try to find out." Earl of Michelle first ordered. "Then I sent a gift to Count Lonley in my name and told him a word."

The housekeeper stared at the Earl of Michelle.

Earl of Michelle had a meal. After thinking for a while, I continued: "Tell him, hope he can inherit the legacy of the old Longli, and be the city owner of Batru."

The butler looks a little weird, and this is the first time he has received such a vague order from the Earl of Michelle.

But the butler did not have any thoughts about asking, and honestly recorded the two orders.

"Right, is the material shipped to His Royal Highness Prince Eric ready?" asked the Earl of Michelle.

"Already ready, you can load the carriage at any time," the butler replied.

"Carriage?" Earl Michelle smiled and smiled with a sarcasm. "Well, arrange the loading as soon as possible. Our Prince's Highness is afraid that I can't wait."

The housekeeper should have a cry, and the words will stop.

"Say." Earl of Michelle sighed.

The butler quickly said: "The Earl, when collecting these materials, there were some people who tried to resist. As a result, the soldiers of the city guards did not observe it for a while, and the result was too heavy. The result..."

Seeing the housekeeper's embarrassed face, Earl of Michelle sank his face: "How many dead?"

The housekeeper smiled and replied: "At present, 13 people have died and 56 people have been seriously injured. I am afraid that there are still more than 20 people who can't continue."

"That is to die close to forty people?" Earl of Michelle looked as if he was going to drip out water. "I asked them to collect supplies, not let them kill people!"

The housekeeper looked at the hidden anger in the eye of the Earl of Michelle, and was afraid in his heart, but he still had to explain: "The Earl of the Earl, now that the end of the year, the things that the civilians can leave in their homes are not much, and they are forcibly removed. Of course, it will be desperate. The soldiers of the City Guard can not help but fight back, then..."

The butler did not dare to talk about it. Looking at the look on the face of Earl Michelle, he suspected that if he continued to speak, he would not even be unlucky.

Earl of Michelle was silent and silent for a while. This took a deep breath and waved his hand: "Since it has been killed, forget it. Give the soldiers who killed the dead a fine of one hundred gold coins. If they can't make it, they will all enter the prison."

The housekeeper was shocked: "The Earl, so I am afraid I will ask..."

Earl of Michelle gave him a look, and the butler immediately swallowed the words below.

"Okay. Go and arrange the supplies and get out of the car." Earl of Michelle waved his hand and signaled the butler to go out.

It was exhausted to see the look of Earl of Michelle. The butler did not dare to say anything more, and quietly quit after the ceremony.

After the Earl of Michelle stood in the same place for a long while, he suddenly sighed and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face.

"It turns out that we are a big city of Durhamton. Is it a little hard to make up the 300,000 gold coins?"

###

"The master of the city, this is the account that will be handed over to the kingdom's finances. Please check it." Fumar, the financial affairs officer of the main city of Bangta City, respectfully held an account in his hands and handed it over to the opposite Servini.

Sevigny took it over and just looked at it and nodded.

"I have already made this account clear, no need to check more." Servini smiled. "This year, our Bangta City can pay more than 700,000 gold coins to the kingdom's finances. It is inseparable from everyone's hard work. You have worked hard, and I am here to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the father."

The various officials of the city's main government in the room quickly got up and prayed to Servini with sincerity.

"His Royal Highness. This is our job, but I can't afford your thanks."

That is to say, everyone is all happy. The whole room is a happy situation.

This year, the financial income of Bangta City is much higher than last year. The life of everyone in Bangta City has been greatly improved, so that the officials of these city capitals are respected everywhere they leave the city.

"It is because of your excellent work that we can make such a good development in Bangta City. It is also appropriate to thank you." Servini said. "Okay. Let's sit down. Let's discuss the development plan of Bangta City next year. Baron Fomar. Tell me, after paying the kingdom finances, and after paying all the expenses of this year, we Bangta How much is the city finance left?"

Baron Fomar did not need to look at any records, and replied directly: "There are still 1,276,364 gold coins left."

"That is close to 1.28 million gold coins." Servini nodded. "How do you spend on this money, do you have any good suggestions?"

Everyone looked at each other and hesitated.

"Don't be afraid, just express your opinion, I just want to ask you any feasible suggestions from you." Servini encouraged.

"That... the Lord of the City, let me make a suggestion first." Baron Fomar raised his hand.

Sevigny nodded to him, revealing a smile full of encouragement.

Baron Fomar quickly sat in a positive position, and said: "My Royal Highness, I propose to take out a fund to repair our old town in Bangta. Now our Bangta City has gradually developed into the most prosperous city in the southern part of the Kingdom. But The old city still stays in the same way as before, and I feel that it is not consistent with the status of our current Bangta City."

"Yeah, compared with the clean, beautiful and neat new city outside, the old town is just another world." Another officer also echoed. "Now the people in the old city want to move to the new city to live. If I don't want to buy some more money to buy a villa built by the Amrit Chamber of Commerce, I have already moved out."

"That is, the old town is small and crowded. It is not convenient to do anything. It can be repaired and made beautiful. That's not bad."

"Well, I think so too..."

......

Hearing everyone echoed, Servini thought for a moment and nodded: "This is a good proposal. So Baron Fomar, since you made this proposal, have you thought about how much it would cost this proposal?"

Baron Fomar apparently had long been considered, and a pair of eagerly replied in the chest: "The urban master, we obviously can't really make a natural change to the old city, so my proposal is only for some special shabby, can not be used. Part of the repairs. So just build some public facilities, repair some worn parts, and then make some improvements to some places. According to my preliminary estimate, about 50,000 gold coins are enough."

"Only 50,000 gold coins?" Servini was a little surprised. "You really saved. Well, remove the 50,000 gold coins. We have more than 1.2 million gold coins in our fiscal balance. Do you have any better proposals?"

Baron Fomar is a bit strange: "The master of the city, do you want to spend more than one hundred and twenty thousand gold coins?"

"Of course, all the flowers don't work. But it doesn't matter if you keep so much money in your hands. Isn't it? The money comes from the taxes paid by the people of Bangta City, so of course it should be spent on improving their lives. Come on, Think about the new proposal again."

Everyone looked at each other and couldn’t think of any good ideas for a while.

Looking at the embarrassment of everyone, Servini sighed and thought that if Xu was here, there would be a lot of new ideas coming up.

This guy is making a lot of money and spending money is also very powerful.

But then Sevigny felt a little funny.

When almost all cities in the kingdom have to worry about the financial settlement at the end of the year, they are worried about how to spend money next year. This is really a luxury that is too expensive. (To be continued)
