Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 258 A Complicated Struggle

Regarding her own title, Ferrier did not dare to be sloppy. After the arrival of the imperial envoy, she tried her best to hold a very high-end banquet, and invited nearby nobles to come to join her.

It is said that it is high-grade, but it is only for the Northland. In fact, most of this group of people are small nobles from the border of the empire. So they lost their restraint one by one, just like when a bee meets a flower, it won't go away when it surrounds it.

The Marquis of Bogasus often travels to various parts of the empire as an envoy, and he has long been accustomed to the scene in front of him. Although he is surrounded by a group of disdainful little people and keeps patting him with inferior flattery, he is not annoyed. Interested in observing the laughing Yingying Du Ferrier.

The Marquis of Bogasus never forgot the task entrusted to him by the emperor, so from the moment he stepped into the banquet, as a special envoy, he had already started his work.

The development of the Northland is a strategy that the Empire has formulated long ago, because there is no extra land in the Empire to develop, and the turmoil that breaks out every few decades is an obvious sign, and the means of eliminating turmoil in the Empire seem to be effective. Decades of peace were successfully achieved each time.

But the emperor knew that this was playing with fire, and if there was a slight mistake, there would be a risk of changing the world.

At that time, the aristocrats will still be nobles, and the emperor will still be the emperor.

In fact, many years ago, the royal family had the intention to open up to the north, otherwise, what would be the use of maintaining a large number of imperial frontier troops.

However, due to the obstruction of the conservative forces of the empire, it has been unable to expand. A pioneering group was barely formed 20 years ago, and it has been hanging half-dead.

However, with the signs of turmoil resurging in recent years, the imperial nobles who are full of longing for fiefdoms took advantage of the trend and tried to speed up the development of the Northland, because only in this way could they obtain it.

So the emperor followed suit, and the second Northern Exploration Group was formed, and many nobles from the empire were mixed into it.

As for bringing the rebels into the north to fatten them up, it was actually a method of the traditional nobles, with the cooperation of the imperial nobles in it.

Thinking about it, I know that apart from the traditional nobles, who else can introduce hundreds of thousands of rebellious people into the Northland, not even the emperor, only the traditional nobles, the local emperors, can do this.

Then why the imperial aristocrats who have always been at odds with the traditional aristocrats are willing to cooperate and even dare to deceive the emperor, purely because only the emergence of new lands, these imperial aristocrats with only false titles have the opportunity to obtain fiefdoms.

It is simply unrealistic to snatch it from the traditional nobles. The imperial nobles are well aware of this, and even know that the emperor is always drawing big cakes for them that cannot be realized.

The illusory pancakes that look good but can’t be used to fill their stomachs can’t last long. Except for the newcomers who have not been canonized for a long time and are still grateful to the emperor, most of the imperial nobles understand that the emperor is treating them like dogs and swordsmen.

So don't talk about being deceived, if you kill the emperor, you will have a fief, and they all need to line up and draw numbers to decide who has a chance to make a move.

The poor emperor has been kept in the dark before, and when he finds out, even if he gets angry again, he can only acquiesce in this matter. What else can I do? , You can't cut off your hands and feet.

The acquiescence does not mean that the emperor will allow this matter to continue. No, the idea of ​​re-canonizing the northern nobles as imperial nobles will take the initiative in his hands. Even if the traditional nobles install a deputy envoy, it is not too serious. good way.

In the imperial pyramid, the royal family stood at the top, followed by the traditional nobles, imperial nobles, knights, and the northern nobles last.

It can be said that the northern nobles are completely excluded from the mainstream circle of the empire, so no one is willing to give up the opportunity to be conferred an imperial noble.

What's more, the imperial nobles are nameless because of the lack of territories. The problem is that the northern nobles have never lacked territories. They only need to bury themselves in the development of a few generations. It may not be impossible to become a traditional noble, so anyone who stands in the way is an enemy.

At the banquet, the Marquis of Borgasos was observing, and Earl Dekla was not idle. Even the Ninth Princess, who kept smiling without saying a word, was secretly observing everything in front of her.

The Northland is a treasure land for anyone with ambitions. The imperial aristocrats want the land here to become a long-lasting traditional aristocracy, and the traditional aristocracy is extremely greedy for land. It was because of them that they prevented the empire from developing the Northland. They don't want to sit back and watch the royal family grow bigger because of this, but once they let go, they are the craziest group of people.

Even the Ninth Princess, who seems to be indifferent to the world, has her own plans, because no one wants to be a dispensable marriage tool.

This banquet made Ferrier feel physically and mentally exhausted. For the first time, she asked herself whether the original choice was correct.

She likes the grand ostentation and luxurious life of the nobles, but it doesn't mean she likes the intrigue and mutual crushing among the nobles, let alone the political struggles of the upper echelons of the empire.

It was just a banquet, so Ferrier contacted Owen immediately without taking off her makeup after returning.

In the double-sided mirror, the two looked at each other, but they were speechless, because the previous frequent information exchange made both parties have already expected the situation in front of them, but there is still a gap between the assumption and the reality.

"The situation where you are is too complicated." Owen rubbed his eyebrows and said a little tiredly.

This is not Owen talking nonsense. He has supported Ferrier with a lot of talents before, but so far she has less than three levels of control over the territory, and how much water is in it, even Ferrier herself can't tell.

It can be said that Ferrier's territory is basically abolished, unless Owen gives the last sub-city to Ferrier's town and relies on the power of the system to assimilate it.

The point is that there are too many eyeliners in the town of Ferrier, and any troubles will spread widely.

Although Owen has confidence in the system's ability to assimilate, there is no guarantee that no one will notice the slightest difference.

Like the black hand's little finger, this guy stayed in Akita Town at first, but later he didn't know whether he was busy with things or felt something. The shape of the roots.

Regarding this point, Owen does not know whether the little finger is aware of it, so although the assimilation ability of the system is easy to use, it must be used with caution.

Therefore, although Ferrier and her territory were valuable, they were not high enough to make Owen take risks.

After all, the ability to assimilate this kind of silent and near-root change is too dreadful. If it weren't for this ability under his control, Owen would feel that people with this ability are absolutely heinous and must be destroyed humanely. To the sun, the kind that is blown to the whole universe with the help of the solar wind.

It is conceivable what kind of blow Owen will face after this incident is exposed, so he obviously holds a sub-city quota in his hand but dare not use it in the town of Ferrier, and all the sub-cities are in the remote Northland, that is, Afraid of being exposed.
