The old emperor's thoughts cannot be guessed by his subordinates, and they dare not make wild guesses. Therefore, Yu'erju remained silent. Their family has always been the emperor's tool, and it is just a tool. And tools have no mouths, they can only
Do things according to orders. But the young man in the family who has been left alone for a long time does not have such a consciousness.
Evren saw the emperor lost in thought, and mistakenly thought that the old emperor was very concerned about this matter, but had no way of starting. This misunderstanding was due to the fact that he had been depicted in the conversation between the magician and the goddess.
The vision actually attracted this young man who had learned a lot of new knowledge.
He plucked up the courage and wanted to say something. But even if the old emperor pretended to be amiable, how could he not know his true face as the servant family closest to him? Not to mention his father's continuous teachings from childhood to adulthood.
and warning, the words came to Efron's lips, but he couldn't say even half of them, and he choked again.
But the old emperor was not a person without eyes. He saw Efren's hesitant expression and asked kindly: "My child, what do you want to say? It doesn't matter if you say it."
Yu'erju was shocked when he saw this, and Dong Dong took the initiative to speak, which was not in line with the family tradition. He wanted to shut up his son, but in front of the emperor, His Majesty also personally told this bastard to speak, so it was not easy for him to stop him.
. He could only glare at his son fiercely. Unfortunately, the bastard was completely focused on other things and did not notice the look in his father's eyes.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." After receiving the permission, Efren once again plucked up the courage and said, "If I get your permission, I hope to join what the Gold Goddess and the others are going to do."
"Oh, you think the Empire needs to add a weak goddess of power to what the magician is planning to do. Why?"
The old emperor asked questions in a kind tone, which calmed Efren's mood a lot and allowed him to express what was in his mind: "Your Majesty. From the conversation between those two people, we can guess that sooner or later they will
The set of methods mentioned in his mouth were implemented throughout the entire Lost Land. And it was not a forceful promotion, but a very confident one. Areas that did not use those methods would be attracted, assimilate, and introduce the same methods to the areas that did not use those methods. Since they are all about
Yes, why didn't the empire join as soon as possible? New policies, new weapons, and new methods are all the same. As long as they are feasible, those who join earlier will get more benefits. Being slower than others means that
We can only pick up what others have left, or snatch it from others at a higher cost. So I think this matter should be done sooner rather than later."
"My child, you are right. But you also mentioned an important point. If it is feasible, from the words of a god and a magician, why do you think that what they want to do can definitely be accomplished?"
"This..." Efren blushed, lowered his head, and was speechless for a long time.
The old emperor did not stop questioning because of Efren's retreat. He added: "And don't forget, son, your family has responsibilities to the royal family. As far as I know, all your brothers are gone."
, you are your father’s last son. Are you going to give up your long-standing responsibilities of the Muhashebesi family and do something that you don’t know whether it will succeed?”
The mention of family responsibilities made Efron scratch his neck, and his voice came out from the bottom of his throat like a shout. "Your Majesty, my father is the only son left, but it does not mean that there are no other sons in the family. We can still serve His Majesty without forgetting any of our duties. And from the beginning, I was not a child who had high expectations and was urged to study. I am afraid that my cousins are better at fulfilling family responsibilities than me. This One thing, I believe my father knows better than me. But my advantage is mathematics, I like that knowledge. And the origin of mathematics is the magician. So I think, in his plan with the goddess of gold coins, mathematics He must have a very important position. In this case, I hereby implore Your Majesty to let the loyal men of the Muhasebesh family be placed where they are best at serving Your Majesty."
Speaking of excitement, Efron even half-knelt on the ground in a clearly pleading manner.
The old emperor did not dislike the passion of young people. He believed that there are many things in this world that require hard-headed young people to knock against. Maybe the seemingly solid wall was knocked down and a path was created. A new way out. So he seriously considered the proposal of the young man in front of him.
And from the meaning of what he just said, it is not difficult to detect the resentment of this young man for the neglect of his family, and then the idea of resistance. Such people are more willing to use greater efforts in areas outside the family's expertise. Make more efforts. But if they fail, they will fall worse, suffer more pain, and even be unable to get up. So should they give it a try?
As for the so-called responsibilities, it is actually just an excuse for the old emperor. Not to mention the family that serves him, there are many people who are eyeing the job of tax collector. As for the job of tax collector, it is not just one person. Just do it.
In order to protect money, some guards are always needed. The emperor's direct territory is so large that if there is only one group of people collecting taxes, the territory will not be completed until the end of the year.
Not to mention that when there is a temporary tax, there is only one group of people to collect the tax. Even if he breaks his leg, he may not be able to collect all the money needed immediately. Therefore, there are many men in the Muhashebesi family who go around to attack .
As the confidant in charge of tax collection, Yuerju not only went to various places to collect taxes in person, but another important job was to organize the taxes collected by other members of the family from various places, record them in accounts, and submit them to the emperor.
Under such circumstances, having one more man or one less man does not seem to be unacceptable. As long as there is someone who can handle the matter. So Emperor Armin looked at Yuerju, who was always silent, and asked: "Old Man, this is your son. What do you think?"
Yu'erju also had mixed feelings in his heart. There was a gap in age between his younger son and his elder brothers, so he did not urge him to learn the family's knowledge, but instead allowed it to develop. However, he did not expect that this would become a reason for his anger.
And he was indeed interested in some emerging knowledge, including mathematics. He even thought about using mathematics to standardize the family's tax collection methods. However, based on the results of his one or two years of investigation and actuarial calculation, the conclusion was actually based on According to the tax standards given by His Majesty the Emperor, the family does not need to collect so much tax from tenants in various places and lords directly under the Emperor.
Is this human language?
By the same rule, using the family's old method of collecting taxes can collect more than using the new method of mathematical calculation. So as a minister loyal to the emperor, it is not obvious which method the Muhashebesi family should use.
Well. It's just that the child is stubborn and can't think clearly, so he is disgusted by his father.
I just didn't expect that several of his eldest brothers died suddenly due to various accidents and diseases in the past few years. The last one was attacked by unknown creatures on his way out to collect taxes. Including the guard knights,
No one could survive. Efren became his only remaining son.
Although being a tax collector in Midi is a profession that everyone is jealous of, it is also something that everyone hates. Based on the fierceness of the people in Midi and the danger of the natural environment, collecting taxes in Midi is not a safe profession. Even if
The same goes for having the emperor's halo behind you.
When he got the news that the child was kidnapped by the Fourteenth Prince, he had already made up his mind to give him up and prepare to adopt his brother's child as his heir. But he didn't expect that the child would come back alive, let alone that he would
Such a request was made in front of the emperor. For a moment, Yuerju didn't know how to respond to the child's feelings.
But when the emperor asked, it was impossible for Yuerju to hold back and not answer. He could only say as before, expressionlessly: "Your Majesty, there are other young people in the Muhashebesi family who can serve you, and he will be the best." Finally.
What came out of his mouth were such cold words.
Efron only felt angry at his father's answer. This made him more determined that he did not want to inherit the family business, and he only wanted to join the vision described by the magician.
Of course the old emperor understood that Yuerju, the man who had been following him for a long time, was not as cold as he appeared. Maybe he also had his own way of loving his children, but he was not understood. But he seemed to have no right to show off the mess in his family.
To teach others something with a condescending attitude. Speaking of which, this is a common trouble for fathers.
But back to business, of course Emperor Armin cannot let a young man rush around like a headless fly just because he appreciates his impetus. As an older man, his duty is to make timely and effective suggestions so that young people can
People have a direction in which to exert their efforts.
But this suggestion is not to force young people to use their efforts in the 'right' direction according to their own ideas. Because who can guarantee that the direction you suggest will be correct. The sense of propriety in this is not so easy to grasp.
Fortunately, Armin thought he was very good at being a guiding light for young people, rather than just destroying others' confidence. So the old emperor said:
"Child, since you want to join the plan of the gold coin goddess and the magician, I can't allow it. But I have a condition."
Efren seemed to be recognized and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, please speak."
"Hey, don't be so happy yet, this is not a promise to you."
"Yes." The excited young man lowered his head again and listened respectfully to the emperor's voice.
"Did you mention that the magician took out a red-level magic stone, which contained the plan he wanted to make. It was after enshrining the magic stone to the goddess that the one came to earth and met with the goddess.
The magician discussed in detail. I want to know the contents of the magic stone and determine what they want to do. Only then can I decide whether to agree with you. Before the goddess invites you, I will send someone to join the plan. If this is done
If not, then there’s no need to talk about other things.”
This... is a very reasonable request. Efron thought so. Recalling the attitude of the magician, he showed that he was not worried about the leakage of the contents of the magic stone, so he agreed so simply to let the priest of the Gold Coin Goddess
Check the content.
Although it is possible that the priests belong to the system of the goddess, so there is no need to hide it. But since their plan will be promoted later, it is impossible to hide it from everyone. Therefore, Evren feels that he has a good chance to obtain the content of the magic stone first.
.So he hurriedly agreed.
Seeing the overjoyed expression of the young man in front of him, the old emperor gave a commendatory smile and said nothing more.
It is true that interfering with the plot of the magician and the god is an option. But if it is profitable, it is also a way out for the empire to seize a large share or even compete for dominance. The old emperor thought so.
