Chapter 280 The War Begins

  Lynn originally thought that this sudden attack would have some impact on subsequent events, such as the royal family being frightened and calling Charlotte back, but in fact, he was thinking too much.

  After the news was sent back to the palace, not only did the royal family not ask Lynn to send Charlotte back, but the words vaguely revealed that this was a good thing, and it would be even better if it could be done again.

  The reason can be clearly understood by just thinking about it.

A story without danger and hardship is not a story that will attract people's attention. What everyone wants to see is that the protagonist stands out from the crowd and stands on a high ground, but it is impossible to go all the way up or go flat. There must be negative events. , so as to bring out the excellence of the protagonist.

  The crisis that Charlotte encountered this time can just pave the way for subsequent publicity.

   "Look, our Highness is in danger and wants to save everyone."

   What will be circulated among the people next is probably this kind of rhetoric.

   After understanding, Lynn passed the news to Charlotte, and Charlotte's performance was not like ordinary people's performance.

  After encountering a kidnapping, most people would like to return to a safer place, but she seemed a little lucky.

   Are you glad you were not sent back?

I guess so.

   Lynn didn't think much about it, because he was busy with the rest.

  First of all, there is the problem of this city.

  The people in this city are very poor, very poor, their trouser pockets are jingling, they can't afford food, and they can't afford other things.

  If you want to save them, you have to deduct some free food from other places.

   Then Lynn was also glad that Charlotte was not sent back.

  He took Charlotte like he was carrying a token for walking, wherever he went, he was willing to come out to help with a bit of food.

   After patching together, the problem of eating was finally solved temporarily.

   But this is not a long-term solution, because no one will be willing to dig out their own pockets for people in other cities.

  If you want to be full, you have to be self-reliant.

  Unfortunately, due to the long-term desertion and the barren land, it is almost impossible to produce food here. They must develop a reliable industry in a short period of time and continue to circulate in order to save themselves.

   But this involves another problem.

  Originally, the industry of Mingyue City has been turned into a simple black city under the operation of Hessery. If they are asked to put down their knives, they don't even know what they can do.

   So, what to do?

   This time, Lynn didn't do it himself, but asked Corinna to pass this kind of news back home.

  He feels that a group of people who have been licking blood for so long have nowhere to go now, so it will always attract the attention of some ambitious people, right?

Sure enough, after hearing the news, Duke Christine sent a few more people to "receive" these people on the same day-this is actually a secret message, and Lynn should not know it, but it is a pity that Miss Corinne is very He acted as an inner ghost without family consciousness, and revealed the information without reservation.

   Regarding this, Lynn pretended not to know.

  He himself has some of the same ideas as the Duke, so since he can make this decision, he will definitely not hand over the spoils that he can get.

   On the day when he delivered the news, he carried the butler behind his back and met with the two gang leaders.

Although Hessery is dead, the two gangs still exist, and they still can't be defeated, because the bottom-level members of the gangs don't know that they are actually a toy, and they all think that the other party is a sworn enemy who doesn't want them to live. If it is, it can still provide them with cohesion. If it is gone, it is probably because the tree fell and the monkeys dispersed to form new gangs.

  In short, the upper-level fluctuations did not affect most people, and the prestige of the two leaders still exists.

   After Lynn provided them with food, Lynn naturally took over Hessery's position and became the new boss of the two bosses.

   On the day of the meeting, he gave the two leaders some tasks as well as certain rewards and promises.

  So when Christine secretly met with the two leaders later, they hardly concealed their bandit aura, and even directed and acted a chaotic, violent and **** scene by themselves.

  This made the people from Christine judge him as a group of completely banditized people, without any value for inclusion.

   Well, judgments have no value, so what to do with them?

lost?

so many people? How to lose it?

  And the royal family has already begun to spread propaganda in other places. If people find out that you are an empty city, wouldn't the royal family also have to die?

  So, don't lose it.

  If you don’t lose it, how can you fix it?

   It's impossible to support this group of people who don't do any work for nothing, right?

  The royal family hopes that Christine can do this. After all, high welfare is also something that can be promoted, but Christine is not a fool. Why should I distribute it to these commoners when I finally have a surplus?

  Unable to find a solution, this group of people is like a basket of rotten eggs left by a poor family for a month. No one wants to eat them, but they are reluctant to lose them. After all, there are so many eggs.

   Now Christine is a little embarrassed.

  The idea of ​​the Duke is to sell the city, and the buyers have secretly contacted several buyers, but now that the city has not been cleaned up, how can anyone dare to let people come and see the land?

  Hold it in your hands, the people on this earth are disobedient and disobedient, and they might backstab themselves when the time comes.

   No matter how you look at it, it is a dilemma.

   At this time, "Korinna" made a suggestion.

  If you can’t be included and you don’t want to be honest and obedient, then you have to use unconventional means.

  The Duke said no at this time, because the bloodshed would affect the little princess, and then implicate the royal family, and then they would be the unlucky ones.

   Corinna also said that she would stabilize the little princess and pull her out to travel to avoid the limelight. With this time, it was enough for them to be obedient at least on the surface.

   Speaking of this, the Duke reluctantly agreed, and ordered Blazer to do it, and Corinna also went out to put aside the relationship.

   Corinna agreed, and then turned her head to rely on her surname to threaten the other party. If you don't obey, you will all die.

  The two gang leaders have never met Corinna, but the other party's posture is not like a fake tiger's prestige. After understanding (the information given by Lynn), they confirmed that the other party's identity is true, and then began to panic.

  They thought that Corinne had angered Christine because of her "acting" back then, so they found Lynn to complain and wanted a solution.

  Lin En said that he can't do anything, because he is also a part-time worker, but as long as they stay quiet for a while, the matter will probably pass.

  The two chiefs nodded suspiciously—in fact, after Hesery was gone, they had been very quiet for a long time, and the only conflict was acting.

   At this time, Lynn came up with a new idea.

He said that if he really quieted down as soon as he said that it seemed a bit inconsistent with our personality, the previous "acting" might be exposed, which would arouse even greater anger from Christine, or let's pretend to cut Let's get some people, it's better to be real, anyway, the "messenger" will not live here for a long time, and he will do it. Let's pretend to kill people, and then move these people out of the city or find a place in the city Hide—Anyway, the city is so big, it must be no problem to hide some people.

  The two chiefs agreed to Lin En, so in the middle of a stormy night, the few people in the city disappeared.

   Corinna handed over this information to Christine, and the Duke was satisfied now, and expressed that he was willing to provide them with the most basic necessities for survival until someone else took over.

   As long as the time they are on his hands can be kept quiet, even superficially, it will allow him to find the right buyer.

   It is a pity that the previous sellers all regretted it at this time and refused to provide a large amount of money in exchange for a useless city.

  Because, the war really broke out!

  The rebel army broke out from the Rotara province in the south of the Rhine, and it took only seven days to completely control the entire Rotara. At the same time, in other provinces, large and small armed forces lit up towns everywhere.

  Although the royal family has made preparations, there is no way to clear the rebellion in the first place because there are too many and not concentrated locations.

  Thus, things became more and more troublesome.

  Most of these rebels are well-trained troops of the lords, not temporary militia regiments. They are organized, disciplined and targeted, and can accurately strike every place they want to occupy it.

   Another seven days have passed, and the flames of the rebellion have burned about two-fifths of the Rhine area.

  Fortunately, the royal family is not easy to eat. After a short period of unease, with Catalina as the center and the Knights of the Rhine as the leader, the troops of the lords of the provinces with surrounding royal propaganda that have worked have begun to stabilize the situation.

   I have to say that the benefits of long-term peace are still possible.

  With the support of the majority of the people, it took only three days for the rebels to advance like fire and stagnated. Another two days passed, and their territory even began to shrink.

  Although this is a normal phenomenon of solidification after swelling, under the hype of the royal family, everyone still believes that this rebellion was just an accident, and as long as a little time passes, everything will return to its original appearance.

  However, when everything seemed to be different and developing to a bad place, Mingyue City, on the contrary, quietly glowed with new vitality.

  Of course, it’s not that this piece of land can suddenly grow thousands of catties of rice per mu, but that Mingyue City unexpectedly has a new meaning of existence.

  Before, Mingyue City was a well-known underground black market exchange. As long as they had money, most people could exchange what they wanted here.

   However, after Hesery's death, people without the blessing of contacts naturally stopped coming to Mingyue City to trade, but when the world began to fall into chaos, they had no choice but to come again.

  Because they need weapons, or military supplies.

  In this war, many lords were forced to participate, but they were actually responsible for their own profits and losses when they participated in the war. At most, the royal family would only give some negligible subsidies, which were nothing compared to military expenses.

   But these lords are not all wealthy people. If the war is to last for a long time, their expenses may not be able to withstand it.

  Thus, some "long-term vision" lords have already begun to think about saving money in some way.

  Because of the impact of the war, the prices of food and military supplies have risen. The food is good, and the royal family is controlling it. Merchants dare not raise prices aggressively, but military supplies are different.

  The royal family can produce their own military supplies, but the lords can't. If they want it, they can only buy it through channels.

   But these channels are formally in the hands of the royal family.

  Smart lords will definitely not agree.

  We have helped you fight the war, so we have to give you money, right?

  Co-author paid part-time job?

  So, they turned their eyes to the merchants.

  As the merchants who are beneficial, they will definitely gather a lot of military supplies at this time. Even if they are temporarily looking for someone, they will not let go of such an opportunity to make a lot of money, even though it is a prohibited matter.

  So, under the tacit communication between the caring lord and the businessman, they became trading partners.

  With a transaction partner, there must be a transaction location, right?

   This is not a clean thing, being found is almost equal to death.

  So, Mingyue City, which once had an "excellent resume", has become their first choice for trading—the sky is falling, and there is a duke to support it.

  Only by collecting the handling fees given by both parties for providing the site, Mingyue City has made a lot of money. Even at this time, it can afford enough food to satisfy its hunger, and even has a surplus.

   At the beginning, Hessery used Christine's name to advertise, but now the benefits fell on Lynn.

   "No wonder history is always chaotic, war wealth is indeed a big fortune"

  Lin En looked at the report in his hand and sighed slightly.

In fact, this wealth came from some inexplicable, but it finally solved their urgent needs, and even hid it from Duke Christine, so that the money was almost reduced to his pocket money. Among Christine, only he, Corinna, Charlotte, and other servants who are used to replace the butler are left in Mingyue City.

  Compared to the steward, this servant was obviously not as loyal. Lin En only played a few tricks to let him out, and then firmly controlled him.

  The current Mingyue City is actually roughly equivalent to his Yiyantang.

   Those who want money have money, power and power, and even force. Those who "disappear" are not really missing.

   Shaking his head and clearing his mind of thoughts, Lynn picked up another report.

  When he saw the first line of text, he was slightly taken aback, and it took him a while to remember that this was something he had promised Charlotte to investigate.

  So he got up from his seat, brought a report, and knocked on Charlotte's door.

   "Charlotte, there is news about what I inquired about before."
