Roland looked at Pelo with interest and suddenly laughed, "You are the first person to ask me this." He picked up the cup and drank a sip of water, and said in a relaxed tone, "The Long Song Fortress is undoubtedly mine, even if I am not here."However, I do need a person or a family to manage the fortress for me.So, what you should ask is not the ransom, but the agency fee.
Agent...Pelo is not unfamiliar with this word. Some keen merchants always look at the nobles who have large outputs in their territory but have no time or are disdainful of merchants and sell goods for them.
In order to obtain this right, they must pay a sum in advance as a deposit.
How many golden dragons do you want?He took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
This is a long-term process, so you don’t have to pay it all in one go. Roland paused. 30% of the fortress taxes every month and 1,000 worth of supplies, the rest belongs to you.
It's not outrageous. Pelo thought that as long as he could completely occupy the Changge Fortress, such a price could even be fair.
The other party was not joking. He confirmed this. His Highness the Prince really planned to do this.
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Pelo told himself in his heart.
He and the prince are not enemies. The duke has completely failed and his children will be deprived of their inheritance. If the coalition forces of the six major powers cannot defeat the prince, who else can stop him from actually owning the Western Frontier?
Resigning to powerful forces is the basic rule for the continuation of the nobles. If you can win the approval of His Highness before the other four families, Honeysuckle will become the largest aristocratic family in the Western Territory.
Your Highness, why don’t you stay here?This castle is much larger than that in the border town.
You are actually trying to ask, why don’t I manage the fortress myself, right?Roland looked at the slightly awkward Pero and smiled, "There are many reasons, for example, the forces here are too complicated, and it will take me a long time to straighten out the relationship between them, let alone make a profit from it."If you support a local noble, he must know better than me in governing this place. This is a win-win deal.Apart from that, there are many reasons you can slowly go back and think about it.The prince was playing with the silver cup. By the way, if you were chosen as the agent, you would never have revenged me for the sake of the Duke, right?
Of course not, Your Highness!Although the last sentence was a bit abrupt, Pelo still answered immediately.
The Duke is gone, and the first thing the five people think of is naturally how to divide his territory. Who cares about revenge?
But Pelo also knew that the reasons His Highness said were not the real reason.
The power is too complicated and difficult to sort out?
In the face of overwhelming forces, he could completely eradicate the opposition forces he led. At most, in one to two years, all nobles would forget the loser, Ryan, just as Ryan did in the past.
But two years are definitely not enough to build a Bianfeng Town into a big city like Changge Fortress.
His Highness Roland must have deeper plans.
That's good, then this city...
I am willing to act for you, Your Highness!Pelo blurted out, but soon his expression became hesitant again, but, king, I mean your brother, you may not necessarily agree with this result.If he assigns the new duke to the Western Frontier, I will not be able to fight against the royal capital.
You don't need to fight either, Roland threw two letters in front of him.
Check out this, and the paperwork I found in Duke Ryan’s study.
Peiluo quickly finished scanning the contents of the letter and couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning.
The first letter looks like a secret letter. The new king Tifeko fought against the Queen of Blu Water in Eagle City and suffered a major failure?
The content of the second letter was even more terrifying. The document was only half written, but Duke Ryan's idea of becoming the king of the North was revealed on paper.
Since there is no ending, it is unknown who wants to send this document to.
He immediately understood what the prince’s intention was that there was no need to resist because the new king was too busy to take care of himself.
Otherwise, the Duke would never want to raise his flag to be independent. His elite knights were invincible in the Western Region, but they were still much worse than the Knights of the Royal Capital.
The secret letter may be forged, but the document is indeed Osmond Lein's handwriting unless the prince finds a witch who can simulate the handwriting of others... He thought about it and then denied the speculation.
There is no need for the other party to deceive himself in a lot of trouble. The agent of Changge Fortress is not a unilateral transaction. If he cannot gain a foothold in the fortress, His Royal Highness the Prince will not be able to make a profit.
Moreover, the duke appointed by Tifeko will inevitably be the enemy of the fourth prince.
If honeysuckle wants to surpass the four great masters, it must rely on the prince's support. On the contrary, in order to ensure that its own interest treaty is not abolished, the prince must also let the Helmon family sit more steadily in this position.
Thinking of this, Pelo slowly stood up and bowed to Roland. The Helmon family is willing to serve you.
Very good, the latter nodded, but it is not decided that you will be the agent yet.I'll ask you a few questions first.
Your Highness, please ask.
How do you plan to deal with those forces that oppose you?
What is your estimate of monthly taxes?How to ensure a thousand-valued material?
If I ask you to vigorously develop commerce, what measures do you have?
……
Peiluo originally thought that His Highness just wanted to take this opportunity to learn about the information of various nobles in the West, but he didn't expect that the other party would ask such strange questions, which was like evaluating his governance methods and business knowledge.
After a series of questions asked, Pelo racked his brains to answer them one by one, and His Highness's expression seemed to be becoming more and more satisfied.
Finally he clapped his hands and said, "Yes, that's all for today."When you confirm the ransom of three thousand, you can redeem the Earl.Don't worry, I will treat him well these days.
Your Highness, the agency right...
It will be announced that day.Roland signaled the Knight to see off the guests.
Pero walked out of the hall in a complicated mood, and then saw Carter stuffing the stone of divine punishment he had taken back into his hand, which was still blue and translucent, worth fifty golden dragons.
*******************
How about it?Roland looked at the nightingale who was looking aside.
Well, all the truth was told, she shrugged, much more sincere than the ones in front of her.Having said that, is it really good that you repeat the same thing to everyone?And those letters are all recorded confidential content.
Not everyone, the prince looked through the list. They all came from five major families, and the only ones who were suitable for managing the fortress on my behalf were these great nobles.Those who are not capable enough to sit in this position will not be able to make the fortress operate, and will only cause the forces of all parties to fall into endless internal struggles.As for the news that Tifeco Wimbledon was defeated in Eagle City, it was not a secret. Sooner or later, this matter will spread throughout the Gray Castle. What I have to do is to make it spread faster.
And these two news came just right. He thought that if the Second Prince had not suffered a crushing defeat, he would have to spend some effort to recruit an agent. If he used coercive means, the result might not be so beautiful.
So... did you choose him?
If nothing unexpected happens.Roland smiled and said, "He is the first person to take the initiative to ask me about this matter." Subjective initiative has always been the most important quality for employees."And I didn't expect that there would be people in the five families who are so proficient in administration and trade. I thought they would only ride on horseback and kill.
He found the name of Pero Hermon on the list and gently outlined a circle with a quill.
