Godsend Field

Chapter 140 Situation

At the end of the month, Nero came back early and separated from his brother for more than a year. Although he knew that his brother was fine, he still missed him very much.

In Ningyuan, Ni Luo and Tianci sat on both sides of Jane, laughing and chatting.

"You two young masters, the master told you to go to his study!" A personal guard reported.

"Grandpa? How could he come back so early?" Nero asked strangely, "Grandpa usually doesn't come back when it's not dark, but now it's still very bright!"

Jane smiled slightly, and pointed at Nero's head with her finger, "Father told you to go, so you go!"

"Okay!" Tianci and Nero stood up at the same time, and walked towards the study side by side.Seeing the backs of the two brothers leaving, Zhen felt an inexplicable twitch in her heart, it hurts! !

"You are here!" Duke Kate was sitting in the study, and when he saw the two of Tianci walking in, he pointed to the seat below, "Sit down!"

Tianci and Nero sat down obediently.

"Tianci, didn't you want to know the status of the three princes last time? Since Nero is here today, I will tell you about it!"

Tianci nodded, while Nero was very excited.

"There are three main lifelines in our empire, that is, the three departments we mentioned, the Ministry of Government Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Military Affairs. And I, Marshal Max and Marshal Lankers are in charge of these three departments respectively. So even if we It is not an exaggeration for the three to control the lifeline of this country! In the end, no matter who the three princes want to be, they cannot do without the support of the three. Of course, there are two other important ones besides the three. Elements, one of which is the support of the governors and marquises of the major provinces, and the other is the support of the saint Dean Rafael! But it is a pity that Dean Rafael has not made any statement so far!"

"Let's talk about the eldest prince first. The eldest prince has a very close relationship with the army and the military all year round, and he has received the personal support of Marshal Lankers, so the form is the most optimistic. Generally speaking, the eldest prince is the most optimistic in my knowledge. The Ministry of Government Affairs has received the explicit or implicit support and loyalty of about [-]% of the people. As for the Military Department, at least [-]% of the people chose the Grand Prince due to the relationship of Marshal Lankers. And [-]% of the Ministry of Finance Most of the people chose the eldest prince, most of them are people related to the military or have business contacts all year round. As for the governors of the major provinces of the empire, since the Marquis of Dolan in the Northeast Province made it clear that he supported the eldest prince six months ago, there have been four Four provinces have supported the eldest prince, namely the Southwest Province, the South Province, and the Southeast Province. These three provinces have a common feature, that is, the king has been on the border, and wars often occur on the border!"

"What about the third prince!"

"The third prince started later than the eldest prince, but his means and brains are no worse than the elder prince's, even much stronger. Usually, the third prince likes to make friends with the children of our government officials, so that he can get good relations with these officials through the children and get their benefits. Support, according to my incomplete statistics, more than [-]% of the officials in our Ministry of Government Affairs really hope that the third prince will be able to take office smoothly."

Tianci and Ni Luo looked at each other. At the college, they often saw the third prince eating and drinking with a group of rich and noble children and calling them brothers and sisters. At first, they thought it was an exaggerated performance, but they didn't know that the third prince was so scheming.

"Grandpa, [-]% of your government affairs department supports the eldest prince and [-]% supports the third prince, so what are the other half doing?"

"Hehe! If people in the Ministry of Government Affairs can be dragged away by them casually, then what do you want me to do as the Minister of State Affairs? Then what have I been doing in the Ministry of Government Affairs for decades?" Duke Kate said with a smile, his eyes narrowed. a seam.

"Oh! I see. Grandpa must have controlled the main officials in his own hands, and let them grab the less important officials." Nero said happily.

"En! That's right. I won't let these important officials participate. No matter who can take office in the end, a large number of officials will inevitably be purged. As the Minister of State Affairs, I must ensure that these important officials are not affected by the emperor. The impact of the change, keeping them is keeping the stability and stability of the empire, as for how other officials clean up, it has nothing to do with me!"

Tianci felt a chill in his heart, this is the fate of [-]% of the officials!How much does it cost to become a central official? In the eyes of Duke Kate, it is worse than an ant!
"Haha, Grandpa, your move is really clever. I'm afraid it's not just as simple as keeping the empire stable, but also your position in the empire!" Nero said with a smile.

Duke Kate smiled without saying a word, stroking Nero's head in satisfaction.

"Although [-]% of the government officials support the third prince, only about [-]% support the third prince in the military! The representative figure is the Marquis of Tesker, the commander of the imperial guards. But even this [-]% is a deliberate arrangement by His Majesty of!"

"Grandpa, as the commander-in-chief of the military department, Marshal Lankers can bring [-]% of his strength to support the eldest prince, and the third prince can only get [-]% of his support by relying on the command of Tesker arranged by His Majesty. The empire still has [-]% of his support." Where is the strength of the military?" Tianci asked puzzled.

"What do you think?" Duke Kate stared at Tianci and asked.

Tianci was taken aback, "Could it be that you mean the Northwest Army?"

Duke Kate nodded tacitly.

"But our empire's regular main battle army exceeds 500 million, while the Northwest Army is only 80, which is less than two hundred percent!" Tianci looked at Duke Kate strangely.

"Hehe, Godsend, you have actually controlled the lifeline of the Northwest Army, but you don't know anything about the Northwest Army! The Northwest Army has been fighting against the invasion of the Orc Empire in the Northwest all year round. There will be a war almost every few months, and this It has been fighting for decades. Tell me, what kind of army is such an army tempered in life and death, blood and fire? I can also tell you clearly that this Northwest Army It is the most powerful army on the entire continent. Don't look at the millions of troops in other provinces, it is not worth mentioning in front of the Northwest Army!"

So, no wonder a mere 80 can represent [-]% of the military power of the empire.

"Grandpa, the Northwest Army should also be under the management of Marshal Lankers. Why didn't you support the eldest prince?"

"Hehe, how could His Majesty hand over such an army to others? The general of the Northwest Army, Seiya, was selected by His Majesty from tens of thousands of soldiers who survived the war. He would not recognize anyone except His Majesty. If not How did the two princes compete in the Northwest for so many years?"

"Haha, so what if they competed for many years? In the end, my brother was kicked out!" Nero said proudly, as if he did it all by himself.

"Hehe, speaking of the northwest, Godsend, what do you think of Safeiros?"

"Viscount Sephiroth?"

"Nile, Godsend, if you meet this Saphiroth, don't take it lightly. A person who can rest assured that His Majesty has been placed in the northwest for so many years must not be a simple character!"

"Yes! Grandpa!"

"Although the third prince is very weak in the military department, he is doing well in the finance department. A few years ago, a Welsh Empire business alliance was specially established. It is said that the scale is already quite large, including More than [-]% of the chambers of commerce in the empire. It is not easy! But a businessman is a businessman after all, and a businessman is after profit, so there is no big climate! As for the governors and marquises outside, there are also three who expressed their support for the third prince in private. These behaviors The provinces are the Eastern Province, the Western Province, and the Yanqing Province. Yanqing Province originally belonged to the Southeast Province, but in view of the fact that the Southeast Province was too rich back then, it was divided into two for balance. These three provinces also have The same feature is that they are all more stable than religion, and there is no war. As for the central province and the northern province, they are all under the direct control of His Majesty."

"What about the sixth prince?"

"This old sixth is the most intriguing. He is usually not a fool, but he is still hiding in the Imperial Academy. You must know that His Majesty came out of the Imperial Academy to snatch the throne when he was 15 years old. He is not in a hurry!"

"Could it be that the sixth prince is not interested in the throne?"

"Is there anyone in this world who is not interested in the throne? Godsend, Nero, if it were you, would you give up?"

"I think I will!" Tianci replied honestly.

"I won't, even if there is only the slightest hope, I will fight for it!" Nero said firmly.

"En!" Duke Kate nodded in satisfaction, as if he had already thought of the result.

"Tianci, didn't you wonder why they, being princes, cared about you, a little lord, a few days ago? Then I will tell you clearly!" Duke Kate said seriously.

Tianci and Nero immediately concentrated on listening to Duke Kate's words.

"In terms of government affairs, you are my grandson, and you have [-]% of my government officials behind you. In terms of military affairs, you control the lifeline of the Northwest Army, which has [-]% of the combat power of the empire. In terms of finances, you and the Mesto Chamber of Commerce and the China-Austria Casino I don’t need to talk about the relationship. In terms of provinces, you actually control a northwest province, not to mention that you are Li’er’s fiancé. It is obvious to all that Rafal Saint is closer to Li’er than his own! If you If you support the eldest prince, then the advantage of the eldest prince is unshakable. If you support the third prince, the third prince will be on an equal footing with the eldest prince. If you support the sixth prince, a three-legged rivalry will form! So you understand now!"

Both Tianci and Nero took a deep breath, Duke Kate didn't say it was okay, but Tianci is still a small lord, and he is clearly an important candidate who can decide the heir to the throne!
"But don't be nervous, all you have is given to you by His Majesty, as long as you can do as His Majesty wants, I believe His Majesty will definitely make arrangements!" Duke Kate coughed lightly "I have followed His Majesty for so many years, and I haven't seen His Majesty do anything that is not planned or guaranteed!"

"Well, I understand, Grandpa!" Tianci said respectfully, if Grandpa hadn't analyzed it like this, I'm afraid I would never have thought that I would play such an important role in the middle.

"Grandpa, then tell me which of the three of them is the most sure, and we are fine..." Nero was about to ask.

"Shut up! You can think or say this kind of thing, you can say it but you can't ask it, even in front of your relatives, do you understand?" Duke Kate snapped.

Nero immediately lowered his head, "I see, Grandpa!"

"Heavenly gift, let me give you another piece of advice. Now that the situation is getting complicated, you must remember that the roads pointed out to you by everyone are not roads. Only the road pointed out to you by His Majesty is the real road!"

"Yes, Grandpa! I see!"

Walking out of the study, Tianci and Nero both heaved a sigh of relief.

"Eldest young master, the second lady asked you to come back to Ningyuan immediately, it seems that a distinguished guest came to see you!" A personal guard hurried forward to report when he saw Tianci walking out.

"Your guest?" Tianci murmured, "Is it Lili?"

He walked quickly into Ningyuan with Nero, and saw Jane in the gazebo welcoming the two visitors.The figure is so familiar, but I just can't remember who it is.

"Tianci, come and see who this is!" Zhen waved to Tianci from a distance.

After hearing the sound, the two people carrying Tianci turned their heads to look at Tianci.

"Master Mike, Ah Yin!" Tianci shouted excitedly.

"Tianci!" Ah Yin yelled and ran over, and had a bear hug with Tianci. "Long time no see!"

Not to be outdone, Tianci stretched his arms slightly.

"Ah, let me go! You pervert!" Ah Yin struggled hard. Through these years of hard training, Ah Yin thought that his arm strength was a little weak, but compared with Tianci, it was still heaven and earth. "I didn't expect you to It's Duke Kate's grandson, you didn't tell me anything about it for three years, you don't treat me like a brother!"

Hehe smiled and Godsend spared Ah Yin, and ran to Mike, "Master, when did you come to the capital?"

"We have been here for a year! It's a pity that you went to the northwest, so we stayed in the capital!" A Yin answered first.

"Live in the capital, so the agreement between you and Marquis Dolan is completed?"

"It's not finished yet, but I suddenly heard that the capital sold twelve of my works in one go. Do you think I can still sit in Astor safe and sound?" Mike said with a brow.

Tianci glanced at his mouth, "Master, aren't you listening to Master Finchlan's explanation in the Foundry Pavilion? Why did you come out so soon!"

"Master Finchland has talked about everything that needs to be said, and he told us to prepare ourselves during this time!" A Yin replied.

"Prepare yourself? Prepare what?"

"In a little while, Master will compete with the other four craftsmen, and even I will represent Master in the disciple competition. You will be fine, and you will be your lord in peace and stability, and you don't have to work hard for Master!" Ah Yin said sourly.

"Hehe, how can I do that? No matter where I go, I am Master's apprentice. It is our honor to be apprentices if I can serve Master to win glory!" Tianci said with a playful smile, the seriousness in the study has long since disappeared. Know where to go.

"Okay, don't think that if you change the topic, there is nothing wrong! I want to ask you, what happened to those twelve weapons, don't try to deny it, the Eagle Chamber of Commerce has already said that you took it In the past!" Mike said with a straight face.

Tianci looked at Jane, but Jane was helpless.

The military department probably knew about this matter a long time ago, but Duke Kate didn’t come to question it personally because of Duke Kate’s face, but Craftsman Mike is different. After all, he is showing off with his number one, and he is also a god-sent master. .

"Tianci, you should tell the truth in front of your master!" Zhen Lue said after thinking about it.

"En!" Tianci nodded, "Master, Ah Yin's place is my stove room, let's talk there!"

"Okay, I noticed your stove room just now!" Mike said, stood up and followed Tianci to the stove room with Ah Yin.

Tianci whistled, and Yu'er immediately jumped out and climbed onto Tianci's shoulder.

How could the coolie Yu'er be missing when entering the stove room?
Yu'er bared her teeth, and ate some more!

crunch!The door is closed.

Jane sighed helplessly, how could this kind of person go into the stove room even to say a word.

Mike and A Yin are currently living in the residence provided by the military department. The craftsman Mike will send the finished mid-grade weapons to Yaster City every two months, and spend the rest of the time with the other four craftsmen. Discuss the experience of casting, and Master Finchlan will often give guidance to everyone.Each of the other four craftsmen has many disciples, many of whom are talented and talented.But Craftsman Mike only has two disciples, one of whom is the currently popular Earl of Godsend, and the other is Ah Yin.A Yin has been with Mike since he was a child, and listens to him every time he discusses teaching skills, and he has benefited a lot from this.

Craftsman Mike has gone back to the military headquarters, while Ah Yin stayed and chatted with Tianci.

"Young Master, Miss Lili and Steward Hong from the Baer Chamber of Commerce are asking to see you!" the personal guard reported.

"Please!"

Lili and Steward Hong walked into Ningyuan cautiously.

"Sister Lili, Housekeeper Hong, why are you here looking for me when you have time?" Tianci asked with a smile.

"Master Tianci, we came this time to return the purple gold coins! The shopkeeper didn't know it was you that day, so he took your purple gold coins. I..." Steward Hong took out two big bags of purple gold coins.

"Housekeeper Hong, it's only natural for you to accept purple gold coins when I'm shopping. If you definitely don't accept purple gold coins, then I don't dare to ask for the ring. I'll let Gru and the others return the ring to you!" Tianci feigned anger. .

"but..."

"Grandpa, I have already said that Godsend will definitely not be accepted, but you want to pay it back! You see, it's just asking for fun!" Lili said with a smile on the side.

"However, Master Tianci has already taken good care of us, so how can we..."

"Housekeeper Hong, don't forget that our Northwest is not a backwater. When I came this time, Mr. Clark gave me [-] purple gold coins as pocket money, so don't take this thousand purple gold coins to heart. !” Tianci said with a smile.

Steward Hong choked for a while, "A pocket change of [-] purple gold coins..."

Every businessman is well aware of the huge profits of salt and iron. The Barr Chamber of Commerce and the Meister Chamber of Commerce are only helping Northwest to sell iron materials. Although the profits are high, they can be said to be compared with the real owners. It's petty profit.Today, the Northwest Province under the jurisdiction of Tianci controls several large and small iron mines. Under Clark's leadership, the profits can be imagined.

"Lili, is your business doing well these days? Are there any difficulties in the Northwest issue?" Tianci asked with concern.

"Our current business is unprecedentedly good! Hundreds of our stores across the country have already started to make profits, and we usually act together with the Maestro Chamber of Commerce to pay the mercenary hiring costs in proportion, so the road is also relatively cheap. It’s safe. We really have to thank you for being here today!”

"Don't say that, it was because of me that you nearly killed your Baal Chamber of Commerce!"

"Hehe! Come back from the dead, and become rich again!" Steward Hong said cheerfully, "Master Tianci, you may not know that many chambers of commerce that have drawn a clear line with us at the beginning have come to us again, hoping to get money from us." Take a share, I followed the three Baal masters, and now is the most beautiful time!"

"They treated you that way back then, how are you going to deal with them now?"

"We are in business, talking about business, and they are all small chambers of commerce. There is nothing we can do. Instead of eating to death, we should take out a little and share with them, and we can also build a good relationship!"

After Lili and Housekeeper Hong left, Tianci walked to the stove room and kicked the door violently, "Bang Dang!"

"What are you doing, you!" Ah Yin complained, clutching her red and swollen nose.

"I still want to ask you, I told you to go out just now, you didn't go out, but peeked here instead!"

"I... I... When I saw that woman, my heart was beating! Thumping! Thumping!" Ah Yin blushed and held her heart, panting.

"Hahaha! Hahahaha!" Tianci suddenly bent over laughing.

"Stop laughing, Godsend! What do you think I should do?"

Tianci moved his left hand slightly, and threw a small notebook to Ah Yin, "Go figure it out yourself!"
