Broad World - Chapter 334
Chapter 332 Induce
From Naria’s words, Henry could feel the helplessness of Sir Deannis. After all, the two constants between the nobles are marriage and the exchange of interests. As long as they are in this circle, there is no way to escape. If you rashly break certain unspoken rules, you will be excluded by a circle, or be jointly suppressed. Although the Deanis family has a long history, it can’t fight against the entire class.
But Naria obviously didn’t care whether the family would fall, especially after her father died, the last layer of restraint disappeared. Henry could feel that this aristocratic girl in front of him was eager for adventure and excitement, eager to help others, eager to break those rules, eager to change the whole country. But she hasn’t realized that there is no bloodless change in this world. What you want to get first needs to be paid, so everything is destined to only become longing and fantasy.
“Before telling you about the Ronald family, I need to ask a question first. What do you think of Amn’s current political system? Or what do you think the country has shortcomings?” Henry asked with a serious face. He needs to test whether the girl is politically savvy, and then decide whether it is worth long-term investment.
Naria obviously did not expect such a problem, but fortunately more than ten years of aristocratic education has given her a wealth of theoretical knowledge, and after a few minutes of consideration, she answered.
“I think the aristocracy and businessmen of Amn occupy too much wealth. Although ordinary people can survive, there are always huge hidden dangers. We must know that every year there are conflicts between nobles and peasants in the central region. If it weren’t for the mediation of the Warm Heart’s Paladins, there would have been a large-scale riot. If I were a member of the six-member council, I would actively fight for the interests of ordinary people and let those unscrupulous and privileged classes have something to do. convergence.”
Hearing these remarks, Henry seemed to clap his hands in applause. If Naria really entered the six-member council, it would take less than two years for the whole Amn to be in chaos. Because her approach directly touched the foundation of this country, that is, merchants and nobles. As one of the most prosperous areas of business in the whole continent, if the interests of businessmen are weakened. Then the result can be imagined.
But this is exactly what Henry needs. If Amn collapses, then the economic center of the West Coast will be moved. The Deep Water City in the north is obviously too far away, and Baldur’s Gate is just right. Not only has many natural harbors, but also a large production area. With his wealth of business knowledge, the rise is almost a certainty.
Thinking of this, he once again pretended to look pitiful. “That’s right, the ordinary people living here have always been the object of oppression. I am very pleased that you have this idea. Now I can tell you that the Ronore family has actually been engaged in the slave and drug trade, their private boats. It has been traveling between Port Carlin and Ascatraz, and the annual profit earned is scary.”
“What!!! But… But Amn’s law expressly prohibits any form of slave and drug trade. Wouldn’t they be afraid of being caught by the patrol in doing this?”
Seeing Naria’s angry face, Henry knew it was time for some strong medicine. There was an ironic smile on his face and whispered, “Don’t you understand? Money can settle everything in the capital of gold coins. A leader of the Shadow Thieves Union once said that if you bribe an official Rejected. Then the only possibility is that the gold coins sent are not enough. This country is fundamentally rotten, and those laws can only target the following people who are unable to resist. If you don’t believe it, you can go to the mall area to ask, those The exposed dancers are basically slaves purchased from Karinshan. As long as you consume them to a certain level, the merchants will even send them as gifts.”
“This… this is unbelievable! Could it be that so many temples and paladins in the city are watching? The six-member council does not care?” Naria, who has no social experience, just feels cold all over, and feels that the whole country is Shrouded in a dark cloud.
“Of course the paladins want to control, but after all, they are few in number. They are also bound by laws and precepts, so they can’t let go. As for the six-member council, most of them come from big nobles or big businessmen. Individuals are on the side of ordinary people? So we must completely eradicate the Ronore family this time and give a warning to those who are still privately trafficking slaves.”
Henry’s words hit Naria hard. She suddenly remembered that after her father was trapped in the castle, none of the nobles who had been close to each other had offered a helping hand. They are probably hiding in the basement of their home and laughing, planning to wait for the monster to retreat before they come to carve up the land belonging to the De’anis family.
An anger rose from the heart of the noble girl and quickly burned all over her body. She solemnly said to Henry: “I have decided. Since these people want to seize the land of the Deanis family, they must not be allowed to succeed. According to Amn’s law, after the death of the lord of the fortress, fight The hero inherited the property of the castle, not to mention that you also killed an ancient red dragon that harmed the entire country. If you inherit all of this, then you can just clean up all the cheap guys.”
“Are you sure? I’m the ruler of another country. If you inherit this land, then your family will lose it forever. According to the tradition of the Faerun mainland, this place has been part of the property of the royal family from now on, even if I Agree, it is impossible for my ministers to return it easily.”
You must know that Henry is not a fool like Apodell. As a ruler, if you give away a piece of land for no reason, you will surely disappoint all the people. Although Faerun doesn’t have a tradition that can’t be abandoned even an inch of land, at least there must be a reason. Just as Amn ceded northern land back then, the reason was to deal with the rebellion in the south. Otherwise, if you give one piece today and one piece tomorrow, everyone will feel insecure.
Naria gritted her teeth and nodded. “Yes, it’s decided. If you get this castle, you can intervene in this matter openly, and I will get rid of this disgusting marriage contract under the protection.”
“Well, from now on, I will be the master of d’Annisburg. Now I need to tell you about the plan to deal with the Ronore family. First of all, don’t disclose my identity and what happened last night. Secondly , When I saw Isaiah and his father, behave impatiently, making them mistakenly think that you are just bluffing. When these two guys force you to fulfill the marriage contract, you can directly submit the noble private fight permission to the council. If I If I remember correctly, there seems to be a clause in Amn’s law that if two nobles have a dispute that cannot be resolved, the two parties can send private soldiers into a state of war, and the victor can get everything about the defeated.”
It can be said that Henry’s plan is quite insidious. If the Ronald family is fooled, not only will the centuries-old foundation become the wedding dress of others, but also the immediate family members will be slaughtered. You have to know that this family has no good people at all, so there is no pressure to kill at all. Since becoming a legendary mage, his mind is full of money! money! money! No way, who wants the research and development costs of legendary spells to be ridiculously high.
If it were changed to the previous one, Naria would never agree to such an obviously evil plan. But now she was angry, and her mind was full of thoughts of revenge, and she was also a little disappointed in this country, so she agreed without thinking about it.
“No problem, I will act according to the plan. These scumbags should completely disappear from this world, but you have to be nice to the farmers on the land. If the tax is too high, they will not be able to bear it.”
“Haha, you certainly didn’t know that in my country, farmers only need to pay 40% of the total annual income at one time during the autumn harvest.” Henry smiled and said his own agricultural tax. Although in the eyes of most modern people, 40% is already a frenzied quota, but in Faerun Continent, it can be said to be terribly low.
You should know that even in the Silver Moon Alliance, Neverwinter City, Deep Water City, and these cities with signs of kindness, in order to ensure sufficient food reserves, the general agricultural tax will receive about 50%. Not to mention other places, many places can even reach more than 80%. Fortunately, the land here is fertile enough, and there are many edible animals and plants. Unless there is a large-scale natural disaster, you can basically find food in the forest. Of course, whether you will be killed by monsters or beasts is another matter.
“My father has treated the farmers very well. Generally speaking, he only collects 55% of the tax. But you obviously do better. I believe the farmers will live very well under your rule.” Naria’s face There was a relieved smile. She now feels that she has finally entrusted the family’s land to a good person.
Henry accepted the compliment of the other party with peace of mind, then looked into her eyes and asked: “Have you thought about what you will do in the future? Are you still going to the slums to help the poor as before? Or traveling around and adventurous?”
Naria thought about it for a few minutes raised her head and asked, “Can’t I travel with you? I plan to study with you for a while, and I will talk about other things later.”
“I’m afraid not. I believe you should also know the identity of Imoen. As a son of Baal, the **** of killing, she must embrace her own destiny. Do you know what this means? This means that it may be involved in the end. Gods, demons, demons and other unimaginable enemies, with your current strength, I am afraid it will be difficult for you to survive.” Henry refused without hesitation.
He doesn’t like to bring oil bottles, even beautiful women are useless. This trip is full of dangers, as long as one negligence will lead to death. Especially when the plot has been destroyed, there are many places that may change. He must be careful in every move, otherwise once he is hit by the tricks of Joan Irenicus, he may not be able to commit suicide.
