My name is Ren

Chapter 82 Man is a very cruel animal, cruel to other species and cruel to himself
"ah!"

Celeste ran on the snow with a coquettish smile, dodging left and right, and Ren followed after him leisurely, with the snowball in his hand from time to time full of deterrence.

After staying in the city lord's mansion for more than a month, the weather finally started to warm up, and the sun hung high in the sky, awakening all things that had been sleeping all winter.Although the temperature at this time is much higher than before, the cold wind blowing on the face still hurts like a knife.Unable to bear Celeste's eager plea, Ren still nodded and agreed to accompany her out for a walk in the snow.First, two snowmen were built, one big and one small, the lambskin gloves were soaked, and the two were barehanded, and they stopped until they started to feel hot from the cold.

Celeste didn't know when he held a snowball, and suddenly smashed it at Ren, and was caught off guard on the forehead. The shattered snow stuck to his forehead and hair, and fell all over his body. the embarrassment.In order to teach the little girl how to be polite, Ren held a huge snowball and chased after Celeste.

While screaming and running, whether you are running in front or chasing behind, the depression brought about by a winter is accompanied by laughter, just like the ice and snow in the sun, quietly melting away.

Maybe he couldn't run anymore, Celeste put his hands on his knees, bent over and panted heavily, showing a begging expression, "Brother Ren, please forgive me, I really didn't mean it.", The cold and red face was extraordinarily charming in this white world, with a sly flash in the eyes, and the corners of the mouth slightly raised, obviously preparing for something.

Ryan had already discovered that Celeste would grab some snow in his hands from time to time when he was running, but at this moment he pretended not to know. Since he put down his burden and relaxed, why should he be too smart?Happiness is the most important thing!He snorted a few times, approached Celeste, and raised his head, "It's too late to know what's wrong. I'm the mighty Demon King and the city lord that everyone fears, little girl, accept your fate!" When Tsukuru was about to press the snowball in his hand, Celeste swayed and moved sideways towards Ren who was sideways. At the same time, a large piece of "snow cake" in his hand was also pressed towards Ren's face.

With a puff, the snow cake completely covered Ren's face, and Celeste forgot to run away, and looked at Ren cutely, "Why don't you avoid it?"

Xuebing trembled, showing her mouth, "If I dodged, how could I catch you, little girl?"

Only then did she realize that she was held in Ren's arms. Ren raised a big snowball with malicious intentions, pressed it on Celeste's head, and rubbed it vigorously.The shattered snow slowly slid into her collar along her smooth flaxen hair, and Celeste shuddered and shivered, causing Ren to laugh out loud.As he laughed, he wiped off the snowflakes on his face. The little girl looked at him and laughed too.

There is no intrigue or conspiracy in the laughter. Laughter is not for money or power, but for happiness. Sometimes happiness is priceless.

After tidying up her clothes and makeup, Celeste held Ren's arm, hopping and bouncing as she walked, humming an unknown song.Ren led her towards the house, and asked as he walked, "Do you remember that I wrote a letter to Grand Duke Jeanne before winter?"

Celeste was taken aback, and nodded quickly, "I remember, it's about Yuehua sword skills." As she spoke, her speech speed slowed down, and her eyes widened, "Could it be... Did Grand Duke Joan agree?"

Looking at the nervous Celeste, Ren nodded. Yesterday evening, Grand Duke Joan of Arc's reply had already arrived in Ortrenburg. She did not refuse Ren's excessive request, and said nothing. I agreed.Of course, Ren didn't need to pay anything, and he had to give Joan something in exchange.In politics, men and women have reached a position like Joan of Arc's. Politics has long been deeply engraved in the bone marrow, and the political literacy of politicians cannot be distinguished simply by men and women.

What Grand Duke Joan of Arc wants is simple and very simple, but it is also very precious if you say it is precious. What she wants is not wealth, not a certain thing, a certain information, but at some point in the future, Rennes must say for her In a word.

Orlando VI has abdicated, and her era should almost come to an end. The newly appointed Orlando VII is not Orlando VI, and she has little relationship with her.Joan of Arc is also a woman who knows how to measure. After the era of Orlando VI came to an end, she immediately handed in her resignation form and returned to her fiefdom.The old lady Joan of Arc is very calm and rational. She didn't take the favor of the previous emperor to her and ignore the new emperor. She pretended to be disgusted by her elders. The embarrassing status quo is very likely to plant the seeds of destruction for his family.

A grand duke of a non-golden family and a holy blood is really too dangerous.

If Ren was the emperor, he would definitely take action against a Grand Duke of the Empire like Joan of Arc. If he couldn't trust her completely, then he could only destroy her!

Ren didn't think too much about the fact that such a sentence can be exchanged for a book of legendary combat skills. He asked the messenger to bring back the news that when the new emperor was crowned on March [-], he would meet in the imperial city.

Enthronement and coronation are not the same concept. Enthronement can be said to be an announcement to the world that the largest noble patriarch in the empire has changed, and the next leader of the royal family has appeared.The coronation is the inheritance and recognition of power. Only when the coronation is blessed by other golden nobles can the emperor control the power in his hands.Before the coronation, all the policy changes she made had to be handed over to the old emperor in the end.

As one of the golden nobles, Renn naturally had to represent the golden thorn to participate in the coronation ceremony, and also had to say a few words on the scene.

The little girl was overjoyed when she learned that Grand Duke Joan of Arc had agreed to Rennes' request, and she smiled fiercely, her little mouth couldn't even close.That is Grand Duke Joan of Arc, the only female aristocrat in the Orlando Empire who sealed the country by force!During the period of the Holy Empire, people like Grand Duke Joan could be called "kings"!Obtaining her inheritance is simply unimaginable.

Fonkos in the distance moved closer, Ren frowned slightly, and then stretched it out. He patted Celeste's little hand, which was so cold that it made people feel distressed, "You go back first, I may have something to do."

Celeste gouged out a look at Fonkos, who lowered his head with a wry smile. The little lady seemed annoyed that she came at an untimely time, but he didn't want to, but Ryan had told him that he had to do something as soon as possible. Notify himself.

After Celeste curtseyed and ran away, Funkos leaned over and bowed his head forward, "My lord, there is news from Harvey that they are ready."

After the beginning of spring, the entire Bell Province was facing a slave shortage. This not long but extremely cold winter caused a large number of slaves to die in the severe winter.Sometimes this world is really ridiculous, are slaves not human anymore?Slaves are also human beings, but just because the price of slaves is not even comparable to the food and warmth expenses of a slave for a whole winter, many people simply choose to let the slaves die.During the nearly three-month-long winter, the cost of food, heating, clothing, and hot water for [-] days exceeded [-] silver coins. If the slaves fell ill, they needed money to treat them.If the treatment is given up, the supplies that were given to them for the winter will be in vain.

Instead of wasting money here, it is better to spend a dozen or so silver coins to buy another one after the spring, which can save a lot of money.

cruel?Probably!
But everyone doesn't think it's a cruel thing, except for the top-tier slaves, all other slaves are completely consumables!Since it is a consumable, some casualties and replacements are inevitable.

In order to get the slaves needed in the market before the slave famine completely broke out, the slave hunting movement was naturally on the agenda. This year's slave hunting movement was bigger than any previous year. Only three slave traders in the entire Bell province were given the right to trade. For this purpose, Harvey built a luxurious slave hunting team, with [-] knights and [-] infantry, which is enough to push small and medium-sized tribes horizontally in the Salmei Mountains.This time, Harvey's goal is [-] to [-] slaves, which is only the first batch after the beginning of spring, and there will be a second, third, and so on until this winter.

Ren actually wanted to go with him. He had only read about the slave-hunting movement in writing, but had never personally experienced it. But now the city still cannot do without him, which made him a little bit regretful.

"Let the councilors from all the blocks come to the City Lord's Mansion, I have something to announce." Ren pondered for a moment, looked at the cloudless weather at this time, and decided to reform some civil affairs in Ortrenburg.

It's not that he is messing around, although he is destined to leave the city, but as long as his power in the empire grows, the city will never escape his grasp.Furthermore, whether some novel policies are suitable for this world and whether they can work requires a stage where they can be tested.There is no doubt that Ortrenburg is such a city.Can the upper echelons of the empire not know what he is messing around here?Everyone must know why he pretended not to know or even allowed him to act mischievously in the eyes of others. It was because the top rulers of the empire and Rennes had the same mentality at this time, and they both wanted to see. Under the toss, where will the city go.

Using this city as a template, absorbing good policies for their own use, and abandoning those useless and harmful policies, this is the true attitude of a large number of imperial rulers, including Rennes.

In the final analysis, they are all a bunch of untouchables.
