Chapter 69: Negotiation with Cornelia
"Yufei! You are so brave. How dare you run out secretly alone? You said if you were..." In the Governor's Mansion in District 11, Cornelia ran out secretly like every mother who likes to nag, and kept preaching to you.
"It's obviously not the same person..." Yu Fei, who lowered his head, muttered in a low voice, then turned his head and looked at Ye Yu who was sitting on the side with help. The two of them were obviously accomplices.
"Okay, OK, Cornelia, I think it's nothing to let Youfei go out. After all, this is also her territory." Ye Yu did not disappoint her. After he said that, Cornelia became a little hesitant, so Ye Yu also struck while the iron was hot, "Besides, today is safe, and I'm following her. If Youfei wants to go out, you can just send more people to follow her. If it really doesn't work, you can choose a knight for her."
"Knight?" The knights of the royal family cannot be selected casually. The family background and force are indispensable. At the same time, the handsome appearance is also an indispensable element for every knight. After all, in many cases, the knights are also the companions of the royal family, so Ye Yu suddenly mentioned this word, both Euphem and Cornelia were a little surprised.
"It's not as complicated as you think. Generally speaking, the royal family chooses knights to further strengthen their connection with the great nobles while ensuring their own safety. But what Eufei needs now is just a powerful bodyguard." Unlike other princes, Eufei does not have much ambitions for that position, so there is no need to specifically consolidate her voice in the empire. "Besides, if there is a close knight, you can rest assured, Cornelia, right? After all, you can't stay by Eufei's side at all times."
After Ye Yu said this, Cornelia couldn't help but nodded. She pampered her sister, but as a general, she was inevitable to fight outside because only by obtaining enough military merits could she better stabilize her position and ensure the safety of the two.
"Besides, the Knight doesn't have to find a man~~" Ye Yu continued, "If you dislike the other party's male identity, it will bring you unnecessary rumors to Eufei, then it's better to find a woman. I think it's not difficult to find a woman who is good at being a loyal and loyal in the empire. At least you can be a companion with Eufei."
"That's what..." Cornelia thought about it, then looked at Yufei's cute but weak appearance like a little rabbit and nodded. "Guilford passed my order and began to help His Highness Yufei choose the right knight recently. Remember to mainly be women aged 16 to 22."
"I know Your Highness." Guildford, who was serving on the side, bowed slightly and said that he had accepted Cornelia's order.
"Knight..." Youfei was not disgusted with the fact that her sister had not sought her opinions at all. Anyway, she had long been used to following Cornelia's judgment, "Sister, can I go out to play with the knight?"
"How old are you, why do you just remember to play!" Cornelia sighed with a little regret, "Yufei, you are the governor of District 11 now. You have to slowly get familiar with these government affairs, other things."
"I know, but those things are really annoying..." It is estimated that Euphemian will only appear in front of Ye Yu and Conelia. Seeing that both of them looked impolite, Euphemian knew that this preaching was about to end. "I feel a little tired, so I will go back to my room first~~ You can stay with the teacher for a while~~"
After saying that, without waiting for Cornelia to refuse, Eufe immediately jumped out of the chair and ran out of the Governor's office. Before closing the door, she did not forget to blink playfully at the two of them.
"Hey... this girl," Cornelia shook her head and said, "Get out" to Guildford behind her, and then she and Ye Yu were finally left in the room.
"Don't be too entangled. Youfei doesn't understand anything. I think she insists on quitting and probably leaves the space for us. She knows that I have something to talk about with you." Cornelia stood up and walked to the wine cabinet on the side of the office to pull out a red wine and then poured a glass of wine for her and Ye Yu, "I think she is just a little disgusted with government affairs..."
"It's because of this that I'm worried. She's obviously the governor of District 11, right?" Ye Yu took the wine glass handed over by Cornelia and put it in his hand and played with it. "She always has to deal with these things in the future. I can't stay here for long. The war between the Empire and the EU is still continuing..."
"Yufei has her own ideas. I think you might as well just let her perform on her own. As you said, she is the governor of District 11 after all." The red wine that can be placed here is naturally fine, even better than the ones he placed in Ashford's office. However, Ye Yu just took a sip and put the cup aside. "What's more, the problem in District 11 is actually not as complicated as you think."
"Oh?" When Ye Yu said this, Cornelia became interested, "Then I want to listen to your opinion on your teacher."
"The 11th District has always been one of the strongest areas in the empire's resistance to the imperial rule, but putting aside this issue, Cornelia, what value do you think the 11th District has to do with the empire?"
"Of course it's Sakura..." As an indispensable raw material for various high-tech facilities, Sakura alone has reserves in Zone 11, which is equivalent to 70% of the world's total reserves. This is a number that is enough to cause the major forces to be crazy about. Among all these forces, only Britania finally ate this piece of fat. Although the empire paid a huge price, everything was worth it.
"That's right, it's Sakura! The only thing the Empire wants in District 11 is Sakura!" Ye Yu asserted firmly, "Where is there anything worth coveting in this small island country besides Sakura? So as the governor of District 11, as long as the supply of Sakura is guaranteed, everything else is meaningless!"
"Teacher, you mean..."
"Your focus is wrong. If the resistance troops are willing to make trouble, they will make trouble. Anyway, they will not be able to get hurt. As long as the production of cherry stone is guaranteed, then no one in the empire is qualified to comment on the dereliction of duty of the Governor of District 11. As for those boring flies..." Ye Yu rubbed the mouth of the cup with his fingers. The roundness of the high-end vessel made him feel very good. "It's enough to either suppress or caress. First, kill a group of people hard and then comfort the remaining people of District 11. At that time, perhaps just a little favor can make those people grateful."
Ye Yu's plan is ruthless. I don't know how many people will die just from the clearing work I have to do, but for Eufe... Cornelia nodded, "I can do the bad guys, and then when I hand over the power to Eufe, she can definitely comfort the people with her personality, so that the people will only remember her benefits... Then as long as Eufe is in District 11 for one day, this place will be safe for one day until then, even in the empire, no one dares to make her decision..."
A very practical strategy, Cornelia nodded as if she had figured out something, "Teacher, you are really amazing..."
"It's nothing, it's just that your eyes are too limited..." Ye Yu waved his hand. After the big thing was settled, Cornelia suddenly relaxed a lot. As long as she settled down, there would be nothing in this world that could bind her.
"The teacher is still too humble..." After the serious matters, the two of them avoided the topic just now and started talking about ordinary family matters. "Talk about it, you suddenly left the palace. Where did you go for so many years? I searched everywhere but couldn't find you anywhere."
"That's the wrong direction you are looking for..." Of course, the direction is wrong. Can you find him in this world? "But I have planned to live in District 11 for a while recently, and the environment here is pretty good."
"Oh, teacher, are you planning to live here for a while?" A glimmer of light suddenly flashed in Cornelia's eyes, "So I don't know, can you be Euphei's consultant during this period?"
(There is another update tonight, this is the day when I asked for leave. Regarding the sign-in, the update will be tomorrow... or the day after tomorrow!)
