Chapter 180: Reward
“The weather is good today!”
At around nine o'clock in the morning, Count Liszt sat in the garden and savored the coffee sent by the queen from the imperial capital, basking in the autumn sun. You can clearly feel the heat emitted by this sun, but in this heat, you can also feel a little less obvious chill.
Autumn is here, will winter be far away?
Those who sit or stand in the garden were all the heroes of last night. Earl Liszt knew very well that if he was stingy with his power and wealth when he needed a reward, he would lose everyone's support. He was not that kind of stupid person, so the purpose of this small meeting this morning was to reward meritoriously.
A feast for vested interests, who trampled on the bodies of the old ruling groups and privileged classes that ended last night, and divided up what originally belonged to them.
This is reincarnation. A group of new people replaced the old people, and no one can escape this reincarnation. What they do today may be what others have done to them or their descendants many years later. But then again, who can care about what will happen so long?
Most of the muscles and sticks were injured. They were the real defense line for the Earl's Mansion. They were all wearing small vests and standing in a row against the gardening walls. The sunlight spread through the light above their smooth heads made people feel a little dazzling, and everyone showed a mouthful of white teeth.
Last night they were very tired in the first half of the night. They witnessed the truth of killing with their own hands. They were also very tired in the second half of the night. The girls Charles found from the newspaper were very enthusiastic and made them feel the power and warmth of love. After a long and friendly exchange and condolences, these muscles and sticks were defeated.
They may be able to kill someone at will, but there is no way to deal with these girls.
The girls were very satisfied. In multiple senses, there were a few girls who were lucky and were taken home by these muscle sticks. Of course, they might not necessarily become wives of these muscle sticks, but it is not that difficult to be a mistress.
A group of newly promoted privileged classes cannot have a girl who needs help from others as their wives. All they need is a release without much burden. Once today's split meeting is over, these muscles and sticks that were once unwilling to be in the Lower City and Central City will become treasures in people's eyes.
From fourteen to ninety-four, all kinds of women are at their fingertips as long as they like them. They will know how to choose, at least they will not choose the girls that have appeared in the newspaper.
Is this the cruelty of reality?
No, it's not, it's just a small part of reality. In fact, those girls may not think this is an opportunity. For them, it's just a very ordinary deal. Just like they receive guests who make appointments at their designated work locations, it's just a deal, money, happiness, and body fluids.
Not long after, Charles also came. He greeted everyone. Earl Liszt looked at him, and Charles nodded slightly.
He went to see the judge and his son leave in the morning, not that way, but just asked them to leave the upper city and found a place for them to live in the middle city. Last night, some middle-class people in the middle city also became victims of ambitions. It didn't matter if these people died, but their families still had to face some terrible things.
The police used one night and one morning to identify about 90% of the thugs who attacked the Earl's Mansion last night and knew their names, workplaces, residences, and family and social relations. Some of them were unrecognizable, but they also had files left, and these would be rewarded later.
In these families, men, women, young and old, they will be expelled from Aepada in batches in the next few days. Their identities will be transformed from "Aepada city citizen" to "sinners". This identity will inform the entire empire that they cannot enter any city under the jurisdiction of the royal family and are not allowed to trade with the city. They can only live in the wild. This is the origin of the sinners.
There will always be losers who become sinners. Of course, this also proves that the rulers of the empire are actually very kind people. In the words of some people, they should really kill all these sinners, but everyone still let them go and give them a chance to live. What a kind ruling class, people want to sing praises for them.
In this way, Charles found an empty house for the judge and his son. The father and son might not have the chance to return to the upper town, but they did not need to worry too much about life. The Earl allowed them to keep the property in the bank, about a quarter of their total property.
This money can allow them to live like the upper city in the middle city, but if they don’t want to spend time, it’s better to find a job or do some small business.
After Charles arrived, the Count began to talk about things that people were interested in. "The tragedy happened last night and it was really hard for me to believe. Look at my house..." He tested slightly and pointed his hand at his house. "Fortunately, we solved these troubles, and now we also need to solve some of the troubles left by them!"
"Rottalie..." As the count gave the order, the girl stood up from the crowd. There was no strange expression on her calm face. She was unhappy and sad, just as if the expression was rare on her body and it was difficult to express it.
"From today on, you will be the chief of the police station, you can come from here..." He pointed to those muscles and sticks, "Recruiting some to cooperate with your work, but don't have too many. During the war breaking out, there may be many people outside who want to sneak into Aepeda to destroy it. It is your job to clear these bad guys from hostile forces!"
Rotalie nodded, and found a muscle stick to stand with her. These muscle sticks may be somewhat inferior to others, but this is not forever. After the war state is over, they will have a new job.
Every participant was rewarded by Count Lister, and at least he had a lot of benefits, and everyone also had a smile on their faces. These rewards may not be considered a complete reward for Count Lister, because what he asked these people to do was to work for him, for the Forrest family, and for the City of Aepeda.
It was Shire soon. Shire actually did not do much in all things. He was just an unreasonable exaggeration of the seriousness of the matter and mistakenly believed some rumors, believing that the saints would have something to do with the prince, and used some inappropriate methods to get some wrong testimony.
Well, seeing his work is simple and not complicated, he successfully put most grasshoppers in the upper city on a line, and then one of them jumped and got such a result. This seems unimportant, but it is actually very important. If you change to someone who is not mature enough and has not planned enough, it may not have any effect!
You should know that for the powerful, if a child is killed, or if a child is sent out as a sinner, he can save the power and their status in their hands, they will decide to ask the ruler with a smile - how many do you want me to kill?
When to take action and how to get the results through any method, this is a very particular process. Shire did a good job. If someone hadn't ruined the entire ruling class in the upper city for "salvation" for his son, Shire's role might have been a little brighter.
This did not hinder Charles' credit. The Count thought seriously for a while and gave him a reward that was different from others. "You can choose a land nearby so that you can better serve the cooperative city..." This is the artistic nature of the speech. It is clearly for the Forrest family, but the clever replacement immediately gave this sentence a higher level of mission.
"... Also, I have not forgotten what you said to me before. In the near future, you will have the opportunity to show your uniqueness. As long as it suits my appetite, after experiencing such a terrible thing as last night, Apeda City will also welcome a new nobleman!"
Charles bowed slightly, grinning without concealing his inner joy. Others also looked at him frequently. Compared with the dazzling array of rewards from others, Charles' "reward" seemed a bit monotonous, just a house that everyone has, and an opportunity to show off.
But the promise that followed is the reason for people to look at it - the new nobles. If Charles can do this, he will not be the newly born privileged class, but the noble class!
Just one step away, two completely different worlds!
After rewarding everyone, Earl Liszt deliberately kept Charles and Alfred, and Alfred also gained a lot of benefits. At least he is now a formal Earl's Mansion and has a job that he does not need to go to in the Guard.
The three of them entered the study and Earl Liszt asked, "Are you familiar with Belley?"
Charles shook his head. He hadn't left the city yet, but Alfred nodded.
"I've been there twice..." The search team has the power to leave the city at any time. After leaving the city's scope, no one cares about anything they do in the wild. Sometimes they will go to other cities to trade. This will not take long to find out the difference, prepare for the next trade, or buy some specialties and bring them back.
"Very good!" Earl Liszt nodded, "Charle, I need you and Alfred to bring some people to Belier, and then try to tilt the balance of war towards us."
"If your performance is enough to satisfy me, then you are Baron Charles, the future Baron!"
