Don't confiscate my citizenship

This is the most troublesome core issue.

"There is no legal risk as long as we draft the document properly. Even if the House of Commons wants to veto the feasibility of 'prisoner leasing labor' by amending the legislation, the House of Lords has the right to postpone its passage. If you give me this time difference, I will be able to popularize this plan more comprehensively."

After Lanqi finished speaking, the other lords all nodded in a daze.

Regardless of the attitude of the House of Commons, the nobles in the House of Lords, even if they are in the South, are likely to agree with this "prisoner leasing labor".

Once they see the North perfecting it, they will probably be eager to implement it in the South as well!

"As for the operational risks, that's easy. I've already made a plan. We can sell high-level criminals... no, transfer them to the Imperial Capital. Our school has actually been cooperating with the Helrom Underground Prison in the Imperial Capital. Next month I have invited Warden Bacchus to come to our school for a meeting. If the implementation is successful, perhaps the Imperial Capital's prisons can also achieve capacity reforms."

Lanqi's original intention was that, because he couldn't really kill the students, in order to adapt to the culture of the Protoss Empire, Lanqi decided to change the immediate execution of stubborn students to sending them to prison for reform and education.

Although Warden Bakas, the most powerful warden in the prison, left the prison on the outskirts of the imperial capital and came to the school in the downtown area in the south, theoretically it might increase the risk of the prison being robbed that day.

But no one would be crazy enough to do something like a prison break.

Lanqi would never allow any imperial citizen to do such illegal things.

"..."

After hearing this, several lords looked at each other in surprise, their eyes already filled with passion.

If the powerful prisoners could be sent directly to the imperial capital and quickly cashed in, it would undoubtedly provide a new source of income while resolving the problem!

The Ghost Party now seems to be more valuable than the magic ore!

It was as if something in their hearts had been completely pried open. They no longer had any psychological burden and only wanted to quickly complete this great undertaking!

"Lord Rocky McCarthy, you will surely become the greatest politician in the Protoss Empire in the past hundred years, and your great achievements as the governor in the Snowfield Province will soon add to your reputation in the imperial capital of Helrom."

The nobles saluted excitedly with great respect.

Although it is difficult for history to judge Rocky McCarthy's character much later, the members of the Ghost Party who experienced this disaster will certainly hate him deeply.

But at this moment, he is undoubtedly the leader who rescued the people of Snowfield Province from dire straits!

Lanci shook his head slightly.

He seemed to feel that the lords had misunderstood him.

"I have never been a politician. If I must say, I am more like a manager or a businessman. I don't want wars, and I don't want to see people being deceived. It is enough to improve the economy and let people live a happy life."

Lanci said simply,

"But Chloris did say that there's a talk show on Helrom Broadcasting Corporation next month that wants to invite me to participate. Now that I'm the Governor, the host will have to temporarily change the way he addresses me during the interview."

He sighed with a smile.

Founded in 1723 and headquartered in the city center of the imperial capital of Helrom, Helrom Broadcasting Company is the largest news media in the Protoss Empire.

Although it is a public media that receives financial support from the Protoss Empire, its management is handled by a regulatory committee independent of the Post Office and the House of Commons, and its independence and autonomy are guaranteed by the Protoss Royal Charter.

In the downtown streets of the imperial capital of Helrom, one can often see programs being played on the giant screen, which are from the Helrom Broadcasting Company.

"Meow meow meow?!"

The cat boss raised his neck in Lanqi's hands and called out a few times.

It is an achievement to receive an invitation to plan a special interview program on Helrom Broadcasting Company. If the editor-in-chief, producer and committee do not unanimously recognize your topicality, you will not receive such treatment.

Now it couldn't imagine the scene where Hyperion was in the brightly lit imperial capital of Helrom, looking up and seeing Lanqi wearing a suit and calmly accepting an interview from the host on the giant screen!

More than a month ago, I seemed to remember Xiu Bao's request to pay more attention to this guy's ambition...

Now it seems that I have indeed discovered that the situation is completely beyond my control...

I'm guilty meow!

"Princess Cloris Bärenhard?"

The other lords were surprised.

"It's her, the best student in our school."

Lanqi nodded calmly.

Upon hearing this, several lords secretly sighed in admiration, saying that he was indeed the Governor-General, as he actually had dealings with people from Duke Berendhard's family.

Whether it is Duke Morodian Berenhard, the holder of the [Original Slate - Undead], or Duchess Cloris Berenhard, they are both big figures in the center of imperial power who are out of reach for these nobles.

Following the Governor, the future is bright.

"..."

Lanqi watched the subtle reactions of the lords. He didn't expect that this simple sentence would make them respect him even more.

He was clearly in the Kingdom of Hutton in the southern continent, and his classmates saw him and the Duchess together every day, but they did not respect him any more, which gave Lanqi the illusion that "Hyperion's noble status had been confiscated."

After thinking about it carefully, I feel that the Northern Continent is more normal.

This is the correct reaction when people learn that they know a duchess.

People should respect the Duke's family more.

This trip to the Northern Continent brought Lanqi a lot of work experience and insights, and he believed that he would be able to apply them to the Southern Continent after returning.

Please do not force the two books to be connected too much. They are two independent stories. There may just be a few Easter eggs. No matter which one you don't read, it will not affect the reading of the other.

Chapter 326: Lanqi's Visit to the Snow Province Ends

On the walls of Kingston City, the pale white light of four o'clock in the afternoon shone obliquely, and the coldness of the snowfield gradually deepened.

Walking along the road, the entire edge of the city wall is still covered with fine white snow. This silver-white coat that has not melted for a long time makes the texture of the stone bricks brighter in the sunlight.

Lanqi's meeting with the lords was almost over.

Tomorrow, after completing the tasks assigned to him that only he as the governor can accomplish, he will leave the Snowfield Province and head to the Northern Border Province further north.

"By the way, from Professor Mechi's incident, I heard that an investigation team came to the Imperial Capital. It was because of the information you revealed to these visitors from the Imperial Capital that you further misunderstood him as me. I am a little concerned about what they specifically said to you."

Lanqi turned around and asked several city-state lords.

Several lords suddenly looked embarrassed.

After the final investigation, it was found that Professor Mechi was actually a cadre of the Ghost Party. He once taught at the Protoss Royal School of Magic, but later resigned and went to live in the Box Mountain Province. He took advantage of the current situation, information gap and his strong ability to incite, and found a good opportunity, and almost broke into the internal senior management of the Snowfield Province.

If Professor Mage and Viscount Bonn were really allowed to collude with each other and take control of the Snowfield Province, the consequences would be disastrous. They would probably pay an irreparable price before they could even find out the truth.

It can be said that in this matter, no matter how the governor who saved them punished them, they would not complain.

The lords glanced around briefly and exchanged glances, and finally it was Viscount Leven Kingston who spoke first.

"Recently, there was a rumor that Bonn, the northernmost city, received an unidentified refugee who claimed that something terrible had happened in the north. However, after we sent people to contact the northern border province, we found that this was not the case. We couldn't even find out the identity that the refugee claimed to have. It was as if this person was fabricated out of thin air. His mental state was also obviously not right. He was quickly sent to the hospital, and then he committed suicide."

“Have you ever been on a field trip to the North?”

Lanqi stroked his chin and nodded.

In fact, from the conversation with Viscount Kingston, Lanqi knew that the investigation team had an order prohibiting the disclosure of intelligence, so if he asked directly, the lords might be vague, or it would be too much trouble to get all the key information.

Judging from the route of the investigation team, Lanqi probably had some guesses that it was most likely related to the northern border province, which was the final destination that Chloris entrusted him to investigate. Even Chloris's father, Duke Morodian Berenhard, the holder of the [Original Slate - Undead], disappeared in this northern area.

"This matter is too absurd. It is said that not only our Snow Plain Province, but other northern city-states have also received similar refugees. This has attracted the attention of the imperial capital, and they have dispatched an elite investigation team led by Major General Fan Leiku."

The lord on the side added.

"Major General Fan Leiku..."

Lan Qi muttered to himself.

Lanqi had heard of this imperial general in the imperial capital. He was born into a noble family in the Protoss Empire and received strict military training and strategic education since childhood. When he was a teenager, he showed extraordinary command and combat capabilities. Now, at the age of 35, he is already a well-known seventh-level strongman and an imperial major general.

The Empire would send out Major General Fan Reku, presumably because the potential threat of the situation is greater than it currently appears.

"It's very scary now. The residents can't get in touch with the south, and the traffic in the north is temporarily interrupted. The communication sites in the north are often unstable. We are very worried that enemies that we can't resist will emerge from the north at any time. The main garrisons are in the northern border provinces and the northwest provinces. It is unlikely that the imperial capital will allocate forces to concentrate on this snowy province where the city is mainly snowy and the area for construction is relatively small."

"The track was still in operation at that time, and the spies we sent to investigate arrived at the site and verified that there was indeed no problem."

While Lanqi was thinking, another lord sighed and said.

In fact, there shouldn't be too many problems, because the war has not yet started, and the northern defense line has sufficient garrison force, so nothing will happen.

It is more likely that there are spies from an enemy country trying to spread panic and suspicion in the north.

"What kind of horrible thing would make you care so much?"

Lan Qi asked again.

Now that everyone is together, linking this matter with Professor Mech's blunder, they naturally dare not be perfunctory. Seeing someone speaking and breaking the ban, they have nothing to be afraid of and just speak freely.

His sharp questions were like a cold dagger, making everyone present feel the tense atmosphere in the air.

The nobles looked at each other, their eyes filled with uneasiness and hesitation. Some swallowed lightly, while others stroked their lapels subconsciously.

In this silence, there was only the sound of slight breathing and glances exchanged between each other.

Finally, Levin Kingston slowly took a step forward. His eyes became firm, and the wrinkles on his face and his silver-gray hair added a bit of calmness and majesty to him.

"The refugee said..."

Viscount Leven Kingston paused, finding it difficult to organize specific words.

"The northern border province has been massacred and has been dyed a scarlet land."

He said in Lanqi's ear.

Although no one would believe this absurd news, it sounds too frightening to them, especially in today's wartime atmosphere. Once it spreads, it may cause a lot of panic even if its authenticity is low.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Lanqi fell into deep thought again.

He stood on the city wall and looked into the distance. The snow-capped mountains were vaguely visible in the frost and snow, and their outlines could not be seen.

The place where even Chloris's father disappeared seemed extremely dangerous.

If he went alone, he would probably die.

I originally thought that I would be absolutely safe with Ba Jiaoxiong, but now it seems that if we continue to go north, there may be dangers that even Ba Jiaoxiong may not be able to deal with.

Something seemed to be brewing in the far north, and was invisibly approaching the critical point.

"Asksan, do you want to endanger the empire?"
