If you want me to say, there is nothing wrong with Pierce's money-making methods, but there is something wrong with his thinking.
For a feudal dynasty, it is normal for most of the wealth to be concentrated in the nobles, and even the nobles are basically richer than the king, and the king has nothing to do. Because they point to the nobles to rule the country for themselves, the interests of this class are deeply rooted, and no one can move—
But the problem is that I'm not a king at all.
It's just such a small Yuxi City, I can manage it by myself without you, so what capital do you have to pretend to be this bullshit
Really convinced.
I didn't sleep all night last night, and my mental state is a bit bad during the day today. But there are still some things to do, that is, to gather the people together and educate them. After all, under the leadership of Pierce, these people have already had some signs of enslaving thoughts, which is undesirable. Crazy flattery to the outside world, and jealousy of the virtuous and capable inside, although this is basically the case in the Yongtian Kingdom, there is a serious problem.
Around nine in the morning, the crowd had almost finished gathering.
It is certain that there are people who have not come, but most of them came obediently, and a large part of them wanted to see what my new city owner looks like.
When the people arrived, I was dressed in black and mourning, walked up to the high platform with heavy steps, and announced to the people:
"This morning, a sad thing happened. The nobles in the city, headed by Pierce, left to the east, and unexpectedly died outside the city for no reason. There were more than 20 people, and none of them survived. This is our The biggest tragedy that happened in Yuxi City in recent years is also the result of my failure as the city owner! If I can find out the movement of the demons earlier, if I... I am sorry everyone!!"
There was a burst of discussion among the dark crowd.
"Pierce is dead?"
"How come... where is his bodyguard?"
"Who the hell killed him?"
After a long time, a bold man asked me:
"City Lord! What did you just say about the movement of the demons? What's going on?"
I sighed and said:
"After inspection, Pierce was probably killed by the demons."
In an instant, everyone was terrified.
"Demon race?"
"The demons are calling?"
"Didn't you say that you can get peace by handing over Felita?"
After a long time, a smart person finally grasped the core issue and asked me loudly:
"No! No! At this time, what are Pierce and the others doing in such a hurry to leave the city with their property?!"
I hesitated and didn't answer.
The people of Yuxi City immediately exploded:
"Is he going to run away? Is he going to leave us and run away?"
"To the east, isn't the east side the fiefdom of Li Neng? That bastard has never allowed us to take refuge. What is Pierce doing there?"
"You are stupid! Those noble lords went with their property, Li Neng would not take them in? He just didn't take in us poor people..."
"So that's it! After the group of noble masters ate and wiped away, are they going to just leave like this!!"
"I told you that Pierce couldn't believe it. Now it's over. Felita is gone too. We, what should we do..."
There was faint crying in the crowd.
Seeing that the situation was almost the same, if it continued, there would be the danger of causing mass panic, so I raised my hand and pressed down, saying:
"Don't panic, everyone. I've found Felita."
Anyway, brother Pierce has already "died at the hands of the demons with no honor", and I don't mind blaming him again, so I said straight to the point:
"Pierce lied to you, and he lied to Felita. He didn't give Felita to the demons at all, but planned to enjoy it himself. The peace agreement reached with the demons is also fake. Think about it, the demons The group of guys has the upper hand, will they sign a peace treaty with us? Pierce's real purpose is to give the defenseless Yuxi City to the demons, let you be killed and captured by the demons at will, and escape to the east to enjoy the blessings! "
I shook my head:
"It's a pity that the demons didn't keep their promises at all. They ambush and killed Pierce outside the city, planning to get rid of Felita's big trouble in one fell swoop. But I didn't expect that Felita escaped wittily and returned to Yuxi City. "
The people breathed a sigh of relief.
"Very good."
"Fillita is still alive..."
"It's saved, it's saved!"
Seeing the happy appearance of the people below, I also became happy.
When you abandoned her, it was as easy and comfortable as eating and drinking, but now you take her as a life-saving straw for granted, cooperating with others owes you, right
I put on a sad posture and said slowly:
"Don't get too excited, that Felita... seems to be leaving Yuxi City."
