Start As a Lord In a Viscount

"And then?" Claire looked at Austin and smiled. "What do you think will happen then?"

Austin lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly at Claire, and a cold sweat had already appeared on his forehead at this time.

Shouldn't it be that after he got the title of earl, let himself transfer his territory and title to him, and then quietly find an opportunity to get rid of himself, in this case, the other party will spare no effort to help Your own matter becomes reasonable.

"What are you thinking about?" Claire's life-threatening voice sounded in Austin's ear, which startled Austin a lot.

"I didn't! I didn't think about anything!" Austin denied quickly, but his voice full of fear betrayed himself.

Claire continued: "Don't you think that after I support you, let you transfer the territory and title to me, and then I will find a chance to kill you?"

Austin raised his head sharply and looked at Claire, feeling that the other party was like a devil who could actually spy on his inner thoughts.

"Crack!" Claire reached out and patted Austin's shoulder, but the next second he took it away with a look of disgust. The other party's clothes were already soaked with sweat from nervousness.

"Don't panic, it's almost as you think."

"Huh?" Austin felt like he was being tricked.

"But if you don't kill you, you will still be your lord." Claire rubbed the sweat on her hands and continued: "I will support you in the upper position. After you become a lord, you will declare to be submissive to me and become my vassal."

It stands to reason that the titles of Earl of Griffin and Earl of Carlyle are of the same rank. Austin cannot become Claire's vassal after becoming Earl of Carlyle, but don't forget that Claire had the title of Duke of Tulips granted by Irene before, and The power to form a duchy. As a duke, Claire is allowed to have earls allegiance.

It's not that Claire doesn't want to include the Earl of Carlyle under his command, but there's nothing good about that broken place. It's a transportation hub city, doing trade. If it was in the past, Claire could still look at it, but now the scale is not as large as that of Fortune City, and the economic benefits are not as high as that of Fortune City, and it may take a lot of risks.

For example, the most intuitive one. Claire finally raised the per capita annual income of Griffin to five gold coins. Once it is merged with the Earl of Carlyle, it is possible to directly drop below two gold coins.

This is like the United States and Mexico on the American continent. The strength of the United States can easily capture Mexico, but they have to spend money to set up border lines to stop those Mexicans who want to smuggle over. . To put it an exaggeration, if the United States wants to, without even sending an army, the Mexican government and the Mexican people are eager for the United States to annex them.

But it's no good for someone to take you down. Claire's heart is soft and soft. After becoming his own citizens, he can't let them eat and wear well, so he can only spend more time and energy to help the poor. It's better to be a vassal, and you can "exploit" them with peace of mind.

You don't need to pay energy and costs, just be responsible for harvesting. Harvesting the taxes of the vassal territory, harvesting his natural resources, harvesting human resources and transforming them into people in Nafu City, etc., in short, it is better than the benefits of direct income control.

"Become a vassal?" Austin couldn't believe it. "Is that all?"

This condition given by Claire can't be said to be a condition for him at all. He originally had nothing, and what he got later was also given to him by Claire. He can get his title back without paying anything at all, and can become one again noble. As for vassals? So what does it matter, no business. Even if he is done and give Claire the domain and title, it would be good for him to be free. As long as you don't get beaten, you can earn it, not to mention such a big benefit.

"If you don't want to, then it's okay to do what you want." Claire said calmly.

Austin's heart almost didn't stop beating, and he said quickly, "No no no! That's good!"

"Yeah." Claire nodded, "then go back, I will have someone find you to overturn the case within three days, then you don't have to worry about anything in the noble court, just read the words they gave you. , shut up if you don't know the answer."

When Claire asks Shane and Sophia, whom she knew in the capital, to help Austin secretly, it should be no problem to deal with a frontier count like Carlyle.

"Understood!" Austin nodded very seriously.

...

The royal capital is located in the center of the center, where the royal palace is located.

Irene was holding her fingers and curling the long hair that fell down from her ears, and seriously looked at the final paperwork report in front of her. After a few minutes, Irene wrote her opinion on it and handed it over to the document. It was given to a wizard hiding in the shadows behind him.

"Go, kill him, don't make it too clean."

"Understood." When the sorcerer bowed slightly and was about to retreat into the shadows, he was the sorcerer of King Zhili and only obeyed Irene's orders, and there were many others like him.

Erin continued: "Call Mrs Sophia, I have something to discuss with her."

After the wizard left, Irene rubbed her temples to relax.

It is really hard to be a king~www.wuxiahere.com~ I have a lot of things waiting for me to deal with every day, and after becoming a king, the information channels have expanded, and I realized that the kingdom is not as good as I imagined. It's beautiful, and there are all kinds of dirty things that can't be said.

Irene was still very angry at first, but gradually got used to it. Of course, there are also the words Claire said to her when she was not in office before. Those words benefited her a lot, and made her not only look at the problem according to her own emotions, but in the general direction, which is more conducive to the development of the country. direction to solve the problem.

The aristocrat whom Irene sent someone to deal with just now did not commit a big crime. He just used his power to make some profits for himself. Many nobles are like this, and some of them embezzled state property. But what he did did exploited a loophole in the system, and I don't know how he found it, so it was likely to play a very bad leading role. In order to prevent others from exploiting the loophole, Irene could only kill the chicken and warn the monkeys.

What I did was not so clean was to let those great nobles know that it was not allowed not to do it. And the rest of the small nobles did not dare to act when they saw that the big nobles did not dare to do it. This is the effect Irene wants to achieve. In this way, the loophole in the system can have time to slowly solve.

...

"Ha!" Irene yawned invisibly, and she wasn't worried that the wizards hiding around would see her like this.

As a king, I still have this bit of privacy. The duty of those sorcerers is to protect her, and they are very clear about what they should not watch and what they should not listen to. Usually, they just release their mental power to ensure Irene's safety, and the rest will not take a look. Those who are ignorant and want to spy on the secrets of the royal family have already died on the way to becoming the king's guard.
