At the end of the day's inspection and performance, Xiao Ran, Euphilia, and Saki returned to the Governor's Mansion. As soon as they came back, Euphilia lay on the sofa looking exhausted, fully showing off what she had done during the day. His governor-general demeanor was completely lost.
Euphilia, who was hugging a cushion and wearing a skirt, turned over on the sofa without caring about her image, puffed her mouth and said to Xiao Ran and Rukino Saki: "I'm so exhausted, I've never thought about it. Being a governor actually has to do so many things. I feel like I have been laughing all day today, and my face hurts from laughing. Could it be that Brother Clovis was like this every day before?"
Saki smiled gently, looking at Euphilia, who was not yet familiar with her, but did not speak. Xiao Ran shook his head and said: "That person is completely different from you. His daily life is to have fun, and he combines everything Leave all the work to others. Due to his status as prince and governor, there will be other people to handle everything properly. He only needs to go to the TV station to give a speech and perform at an important time, and that is all he has to do. matter."
"However, Kurovis has never thought about changing District 11, so it is understandable for him to do so. When the nobles below have the same interests and goals, naturally some people will support him and help him do things, but at the beginning , I think Kulovis will also do what you did today."
"But Euphilia, what you want to do is to change District 11. In this case, you must first get the approval of everyone, including nobles, officials, military, civilians, and local people in District 11. District 11 has established its own real authority, but it is not easy to do this, especially for everyone to truly agree with you. So what you do today is just the beginning. Next, you There will be more work to do, to control the direction of District 11 little by little and gradually change this place."
"After gathering the nobles, officials, and the military, you have to gradually penetrate into the lives of the people in District 11 and establish their trust in you. Only in this way can you eliminate the hatred between the two sides and work together. The possibility of changing District 11.”
"Yeah." Euphilia nodded heavily, looked at Xiao Ran and said, "I know, although I feel very tired today and I don't seem to have done anything personally, I also feel that my day has been very fulfilling. , as if we are really using our own power to change District 11. I believe that in the future we will be able to build District 11 into a place where everyone can live in harmony."
"Then what should we do next?"
Xiao Ran thought for a while and said: "The first thing to do is of course to truly understand the situation in District 11 from the inside out. In particular, the armed forces garrisoned in District 11 must be completely in their own hands. The next step is to Set up some examples so that people in District 11 can see hope for a better life in the future."
"Although those officials and nobles have expressed their willingness to support you, the support they will provide will be limited before they see real benefits. Therefore, you must let the officials and nobles know that the path you have chosen is the right one. Yes, by following you together, they can not only get noble titles and fiefs, not only gain benefits from the fiefs, but also get more respect and benefits from the changes. In this way, they will naturally be willing and more willing to do so. To treat the civilians of District 11 sincerely.”
Euphilia seemed to understand, with a thoughtful look on her face, as if she was thinking about the key point in Xiao Ran's words. After waiting for a while, she said to Xiao Ran in a daze: "That is to say, we need to let some people go first. Will they get new titles and fiefs? Can they also be given titles to the civilian nobles in District 11? In this case, wouldn't it make the common people in District 11 feel that they really have the same status as the Butalia people? Right?"
Xiao Ran fell silent, a little speechless at Euphilia's forced innocence and innocence, but Xiao Ran could also see that at least Euphilia really wanted to learn and grow at this time, and wanted to keep up. Xiao Ran's footsteps have the ability to change District 11. At least this is worthy of praise.
Xiao Ran didn't speak, Rukino Saki covered her mouth and smiled softly. The sudden laughter made Euphilia stunned for a moment, and then her face suddenly turned red, and she buried her head directly on the pillow she was holding on her chest. He muttered: "Did I say something wrong somewhere?"
Rukino Saki rolled his eyes at Xiao Ran, who was silent, and said harmoniously to Euphilia: "Your Highness, changing District 11 cannot be done overnight. Unless there are unexpected circumstances, it will take a year or two. Years or longer, but if an unexpected situation occurs, it may speed up this speed, but it may also slow down this speed.”
"The titles and fiefdoms of nobles are currently His Highness's biggest temptation for others besides the legitimate jurisdiction over District 11. You can take them out, but you can't be so anxious. It also depends on who among those people really supports His Highness. What's more, Actively carry out work to promote the integration of the eleven districts. As long as one person stands up and gets some results that are still in the past, then His Highness can give this person the status of a noble or a fiefdom, as a model and example. A reminder to all others.”
"As for the local residents in District 11, they cannot be given the title of nobility under any circumstances. Under the current situation, such a thing should not happen for at least ten years. Even if the merit is high, promotion can become a nobility. No, at most, it can only be given the status of a knight, and it cannot be the status of your exclusive knight, as long as it can improve their quality of life and recognize their status as equal to that of Butalia civilians. "
"Oh." Euphilia slowly revealed her eyes, and she corrected her mistake and nodded: "I understand."
Xiao Ran looked at Euphilia's pitiful eyes, and shook his head helplessly and said: "You can also think more about the specific arrangements and the future development of District 11, Euphilia. Whatever comes to mind is fine." Communicate with the two of us and we will remind you if there is anything wrong. If you don’t mind, I think it’s better for you, Euphilia, not to act too much according to your own ideas. What decision should you make? It’s best to communicate with the two of us first.”
Euphilia put down the pillow in relief, stuck out her tongue at Xiao Ran, and pursed her lips with a smile: "Okay."
Xiao Ran nodded and said: "The other thing that needs to be done first is to immediately elect a deputy governor. With the help of the deputy governor, some chores and unimportant political affairs in District 11 can be solved. Leave it to him to handle, and you only need to ask the deputy governor to do many things. Your task is to improve your reputation in District 11 as much as possible in the shortest time possible."
"Deputy Governor?" Euphilia tilted her head and thought for a moment, knowing that it is indeed necessary to choose a trustworthy Deputy Governor, but without realizing it, Euphilia's eyes kept looking at Xiao Ran. It seemed that he really wanted Xiao Ran to be the deputy governor.
Xiao Ran saw what Euphilia meant, but he would not serve as the deputy governor. Now he has become Euphilia's exclusive knight. It can be said that he is Euphilia's spokesperson, and he can also It affects Euphilia's thoughts and decisions, and it doesn't mean much to him whether he serves as the deputy governor. Although becoming the deputy governor may bring greater convenience, Xiao Ran is not prepared to become the eleventh. Deputy Governor of the District.
Because of the current situation, once he becomes the deputy governor, more attention will be focused on him. In the eyes of some people, he is just a lucky guy who got to the sky with good luck and maybe a little courage. The exclusive knight is enough to stir up the nerves of many people. If he wants to become the deputy governor, there will definitely be some people who can't sit back and watch. There is also a high possibility that Butalia's country will not allow him, a person who has just emerged, to sit there. In such a sensitive position, maybe Euphilia now declares him to be the deputy governor, and the deputy governor sent by the empire in two days at most will directly push him down with an order.
"I cannot serve as the deputy governor." Xiao Ran shook his head slightly and said to Euphilia: "The right to become your exclusive knight is yours, and no one can refuse it, but I have no merit for the empire, nor do I have any background. , and there is only one day to actually join the empire. No one will allow or recognize me to become the deputy governor. The people in District 11 will not allow it, and the empire will not allow it, so the candidate for deputy governor must still be in the 11th district. The district must delete them as soon as possible."
Euphilia didn't quite understand these messy things, but after hearing what Xiao Ran said, especially when Xiao Ran said that he had actually only joined the empire for one day, Euphilia also reacted and asked Xiao Ran to become the deputy governor. It does seem a bit inappropriate.
After hesitating for a moment, Euphilia asked: "What about Sir Kilford?"
"Although his qualifications and status are sufficient, I don't recommend letting him serve as deputy governor. After all, his direct relationship is not with you." Xiao Ran glanced at Euphilia helplessly and said, "I know You don’t know how to refuse Her Highness Cornelia’s kindness and arrangements, but this won’t work, the Lieutenant Governor must be on your side.”
Euphilia pouted and swayed as she said, "Then who should we choose?"
Euphilia is the kind of person who really doesn't understand anything, is innocent and kind, but is also willing to dive into complexity, is willing to learn and change, and is full of drive and persistence. It is indeed a bit difficult for this girl to choose a deputy governor when she really doesn't know anything.
Xiao Ran said: "If there is no suitable candidate, I can recommend someone."
Euphilia looked at Xiao Ran curiously: "Who?"
Xiao Ran said: "Mr. Moyas, the consul of the military court, and he has good connections in the military, can help us completely control the entire garrison in District 11 as soon as possible."
When mentioning this person, Euphilia immediately had an impression. It was the first person who stood up to rescue her when Kilford wanted to set off Jeremiah to target Xiao Ran. This also made Euphilia Filia had a good impression of him, and she nodded to Xiao Ran without thinking for a long time: "Then choose him, but if he can't do it well, then we can also use someone else to do it."
"Yes." Xiao Ran nodded, turned to Saki and said: "Inform the Consul Moyas and ask him to come to the Governor's Mansion immediately. In addition, it's almost time for you to officially take over the Guards, so hurry up and talk to Veretta Hand over the work and get acquainted with the people of the Guards."
Saki nodded and prepared to leave, but before leaving, he also said to Euphilia: "Your Highness, there will be a dinner in the restaurant at seven o'clock, and we will entertain Mr. Kilford and the two guests who are coming with him, right? Also ask Consul Moyas to arrive before seven o'clock, and tell him at the dinner about making him the deputy governor."
Euphilia nodded: "That's the arrangement, Mr. Knight, you and I will attend together."
"I'm afraid not." Xiao Ran bowed slightly and rejected Euphilia, and said: "Just let Saki accompany you on the trip. Sir Kilford doesn't have a good impression of me, so I don't want to meet him, and I Lloyd, who agreed to the special mission, will go over later to assist him with matters related to Lancelot, which is related to the empire's latest military equipment, so we must not miss the appointment."
"That's it." Euphilia shook her head and nodded, and said helplessly: "Okay then, let Saki accompany me. Then you must come back early. If Mr. Knight is not here, something will happen. It would trouble me very much.”
"Yes." Xiao Ran bowed slightly, glanced at the limp Euphilia, and said: "It's still early, Euphilia, you'd better go back to your room to rest, and you can also change into loose clothes. .”
Euphilia looked at Xiao Ran eagerly, then buried her head again without knowing what she thought of, and hummed softly: "Yeah."
Xiao Ran nodded to Saki and turned around to leave first. He left the Governor's Mansion and drove a car towards the administrative building where the Special Mission Research Institute was currently located. At the same time, he notified the consul and told him Euphilia He would be selected as the deputy governor, and he was reminded that the consul Kilford would also attend the dinner at the same time, and asked the consul to be firmer and tougher on this matter, and the position of deputy governor must not be left behind by others.
After contacting the consul, Xiao Ran contacted another person again. As soon as the connection was connected, a slightly anxious voice sounded in his ears: "What on earth is going on with you, where is Nunnally, and where did you go?" Gone somewhere."
"I have entered the Governor's Mansion and become the exclusive knight of the new Governor. I think you should know Euphilia Li Britalia. Nunnally and I have also lived in the Governor's Mansion. Her safety You can rest assured that even if Euphilia knows Nunnally's identity, she will never do anything to harm Nunnally, and will actively protect Nunnally's secret. At two o'clock in the middle of the night, I I will wait for you at my original home."
