"What did you say?" Claude looked at Kaifani in surprise.
Today is the day when Claude returns to live in Field Manor. In five or six days, he will come back to stay for two nights. He built another manor as his residence in the western suburbs of Lanhu City, and there is news that a beautiful woman named Sheila appears next to him.
The news should have reached Kaifani's ears long ago.
It's just that Kaifuni didn't say anything, pretending that she didn't know anything, and took care of her even more thoughtfully and gently when Claude came back to live. This is the smart thing about Kaifani, she won't be fooled
A jealous woman, which arouses more resentment and disgust from Claude...
However, Claude didn't expect to hear Kaifani say when he came back today that his mother had gotten up and that she was recovering well. She was almost fully recovered after lying down for more than a month. It's just that she had Claude's eldest son Tesio taken away.
Lei took it over and told Kaifuni that she wanted to train a qualified head of the Field family. From now on, she decided to implement an aristocratic education for Tesore and spend money to hire some famous teachers to teach Tesore the familiarity.
Aristocratic etiquette, knowledge and style.
Tesore must be sixteen years old this year. Time flies so fast. Claude doesn't pay much attention to his eldest son because Tesore has never been close to him. Instead, he has the best relationship with the old lady.
.In Claude's eyes, his eldest son is a naughty kid who does something irritating every once in a while. But whenever Claude or Kaifuni wants to teach him a lesson
, when leaving a profound memory for him, his mother would always come out to protect him, so that in the end nothing happened, and Claude didn't like his eldest son very much because of this.
"Didn't Tesore just graduate from Lanhu City Elementary School? He will go to junior high school next, right? Doesn't it mean that his grades are not very good, and he is often sued by his teacher for bullying his classmates? What does mother mean, and let him
Will he go to junior high school?" Claude originally wanted to wait for his eldest son to graduate from junior high school and then throw him into the army to train for a few years. No matter how stubborn a character is in the military career, he will be tempered and he will be better in the future.
If he doesn't make a difference, it all depends on his own efforts.
But what does it mean that his mother is interfering now? Originally, Tesore was supposed to go to elementary school when he was twelve years old, but because his mother stopped him, he was allowed to play at home for one more year, and his temper became more and more casual and playful. After entering elementary school, his mother stopped him from playing at home.
As a child, he often bullied his classmates because he was one year older, taller and stronger, and became a bully at Lanhu City Elementary School. His mother proposed that Tesiore receive a lesson from the nobility, but would this still allow him to go to junior high school?
"What mother means is that there is no need to go to junior high school. Those teachers are not famous teachers anyway. They have no ability except to complain, and they have wasted the child's talent in vain. Let Tesiore receive the lessons of the nobility at home, and don't interact with those
The messy children mix together and it’s over if they catch their bad habits..." Kaifani said this.
"Humph..." Claude laughed angrily. Why would the elementary school teacher only complain to you and your mother? If you weren't in a high position, like Tesore,
His naughty nature had long been hung up and severely punished by teachers in elementary school. Claude’s memory still retains the original owner of his body. Little Claude was in Bailu Town when he did not travel through time.
When I was in the first grade of elementary school and junior high school, I got into trouble and was punished corporally by my teachers.
At that time, the original owner of the body, Mr. Morsand, the father of little Claude, was still the administrative director of Bailu Town, but the teaching in the school was still corporal punishment without any scruples. Mr. Morssant knew that little Claude returned home and wanted to punish him with corporal punishment.
He was beaten with corporal punishment for the second time. Now, Tesore did something bad at school, and the teachers were afraid of him and did not dare to punish him directly, so they had to come home to complain.
Kaifani and her mother always tried to deal with it, saying that the child was still young and would become more sensible as an excuse to protect Tesiore, which led to him even more aggressively bullying his classmates at school and becoming feared by everyone.
The little bully, even Claude was scolded as a bastard parent behind his back. This is a model of a loving mother's failure, the result of over-indulging her child.
My sister Anna also tried Tesore's magic talent, but unfortunately it was very inferior, so Claude could not leave his eldest son to his sister Anna to educate him. At that time, his younger brother Booker was also equally naughty, but he was beaten by his sister.
Anna forcefully disciplined him into a talented person. But now that Kaifani and her mother are here, it is not her sister Anna’s turn to educate Tesore, especially since her sister Anna now has three more babies to take care of, and Claude is even more
I can't bother my sister anymore.
"As you wish." Claude didn't bother to care about this matter. He wanted to see what his mother's so-called aristocratic education could teach Tesore to. Only his mother regarded Tesore as a treasure, so what could he say?
His talent was delayed by the teachings in junior high school, and he was worried about getting into some bad habits by hanging out with his classmates in junior high school. What a bullshit talent, a specialty in bullying? I don't think about it if Claude hadn't been his father.
Siore's temperament has been taught to be a good person for a long time...
In his previous life, Claude was deeply impressed by a saying, "You are older when you are three years old, and you are older when you are seven years old." This was a saying that his grandfather often whispered in his ears when he was a child in his previous life. It meant that he should learn well, develop good living habits, and develop good habits.
His courtesy in dealing with others and his good style of diligence and self-care will be of great help to him in the future.
This is also the main reason why Claude doesn't like his eldest son. When Tesore was growing up, Claude was fighting abroad and didn't care about these trivial matters at home. It wasn't until he reunited with his family in the overseas territories that he
He found that his eldest son was extremely pampered by his mother and Kaifuni. Therefore, he was not optimistic about Tesore's future development, thinking that it would be great if he could live his life in peace.
Especially compared with the illegitimate son Mallex that Lady Sonia gave birth to for him, Tesore is nothing like him. To put it bluntly, it can be described as a bunch of cocks. And Mallex is already eighteen years old this year and is about to reach adulthood.
, his magic level has reached the third level. He even decided to join the army after his birthday and receive training in the army like Claude...
It's a pity that Mallex wants to inherit Master Bird's family name and cannot become Claude's successor. He knows that Mallex regards his father as an idol. After all, Claude's personal experience can be called
A military hero legend. So he also had the idea of joining the army, and he had a big dispute with his mother, Mrs. Sonia. Mrs. Sonia was so resentful of Claude that she wanted to squeeze him when they met. The reason is
I want to have another well-behaved child...
Claude shook his head and took back his divergent thinking. He didn't want to care about this anymore. Anyway, no matter how well Tesore's aristocratic education was, he would be thrown into the army when he came of age.
After some training, it's up to him whether he becomes a talent or not. But now it seems that the idea of being superior to others is becoming more and more stubborn in the minds of the old lady and Kaifani. They really regard the Field family as a famous family. I hope they can make Tes
Ole, let's learn the good aspects of aristocratic education...
"You go to bed tonight and ask someone to prepare some food and drink and put them in the study. I have guests, and we may discuss it until very late..." Claude said.
The guests in the evening were General Skerry and General Albert. They came mainly to discuss with Claude the provision of assistance to the kingdom. Half a month ago, the royal capital sent several more envoys to the overseas autonomous territories. Their
He came not to discuss the restoration of relations between the overseas dominions and the kingdom, but to hope that the dominions would provide a huge amount of agricultural products and mineral resources to the kingdom, so as to reduce the adverse economic impact of the war between the royal capital and the Kingdom of Nasseri.
.
The debt war that broke out between the kingdom and the Nasseri Kingdom has been going on for more than three months. The Nasseri Kingdom preemptively launched an attack and took advantage of the Ovelas Kingdom's unpreparedness to occupy three of the Ovelas Kingdom's territories.
Border County. The Kingdom of Olvilas was slapped like an enraged hibernating bear, furious. The Kingdom of Nasseri, which had always been defeated by its subordinates, dared to take action first. This is simply the greatest shame of the Kingdom of Olvilas.
.
So the Red Dragon Legion stationed on the border between the two countries was the first to show off its power. With one against two, it not only made the two standing legions of the Nasseri Kingdom retreat steadily, but also recovered the two lost border counties in one fell swoop. Then the two sides
A large-scale offensive and defensive battle was carried out in Ustia County, the last town that fell in the Kingdom of Ovilas. With the arrival of two standing legions reinforced by the Kingdom of Nasseri, the Red Dragon Legion lacked stamina and could only hold on and wait for reinforcements.
.
This debt war is indeed not good news for the Kingdom of Ovelas, which is undergoing economic recovery. This is an unexpected war imposed on the Kingdom, which has plunged the Kingdom's newly recovered economy into a downturn, causing
A large area of agricultural products failed to harvest. The kingdom needed to reorganize its arms to face this war. At the same time, it also needed a large amount of grain and grass to relieve local counties where agricultural products had failed to prevent another wave of refugees.
The envoys who came to the overseas dominions this time were not sent by the new King Frederick I, but by the new prime minister of the kingdom, the Marquis Blancart, a representative of the old aristocratic family. He hoped that the overseas dominions could support the kingdom's huge amount of agricultural products.
and grain and grass were used to relieve those local counties in the kingdom that were in deficit in food production, and a large amount of mineral resources were used to help the kingdom's four major military industries produce enough military supplies to cope with this debt war.
Of course, the royal capital is also willing to agree to a few small conditions for the sake of the strong support from the overseas autonomous territories, such as no longer sending governors and admirals, etc., but to restore the name of the overseas autonomous territories. They can retain the direct-administered military areas and
The establishment of a parliament, but the overseas territories will resume paying taxes and tributes to the kingdom, and the royal capital will dispatch tax commissioners to supervise the taxation of the overseas territories. At the same time, the personnel rights of the overseas territories will be returned to the capital, etc.
wait......
If General Skerry hadn't stopped him quickly, General Bolognik would have almost agreed to all the requests made by the Kingdom's envoys. To General Bolognik, the Kingdom has taken a big step back this time and has given the overseas autonomous territories sufficient face.
.Changing the name does not matter. What is important is to retain the military region and parliament. This means that everyone's rights are protected and the conditions of the royal capital are fully acceptable.
However, General Skerry was very clear-headed. The king's idea was to cut the flesh with a soft knife and use time to slowly regain the dominance of the overseas autonomous territories. If General Bolonik agreed, he would have to be coaxed by the members of the Dominion Parliament.
You cannot step down.
It's very simple. The royal capital retains the military region and parliament, but the personnel rights are returned to the royal capital, which means that the future election of the Dominion members must be approved by the royal capital. It doesn't matter the current members, but if any older member wants his family to
If the king does not approve when his younger generation inherits his position, his family will be squeezed out of the top power class in the overseas autonomous territories. This is intolerable to any member of the parliament.
No one wants to have more than one mother-in-law in charge of them. If the personnel rights are taken back by the Royal Capital, then the members of the Dominion Assembly will have to go to the National Assembly in the Royal Capital to report their work and accept the questioning and review of the National Assembly. They may even be stripped of their membership.
Qualifications, this is unacceptable to members of the current overseas autonomous territories.
They are now the top figures in the autonomous region. They have the power to supervise and recommend policies implemented by the executive committee of the autonomous region, as well as the power to review. They are all superiors in people and are highly respected by the nearly 7 million people in the entire overseas autonomous region. Now that they have
At this point, of course no one is willing to go to the royal capital to pretend to be a good grandson, and he is also discriminated against by members of the National Assembly as an overseas bumpkin and a nouveau riche.
In addition, the royal capital sends tax commissioners to supervise the taxation of the autonomous territories, which means that it wants to intervene in the financial affairs of the autonomous territories. This will have a great adverse impact on the finances of the entire overseas autonomous territories and will also have a negative impact on the military expenditures of the autonomous military regions.
Serious consequences. If nothing else, just exposing the tax situation of the entire overseas autonomous territory will arouse the covetousness of the royal capital, and it is not impossible to demand a larger tax share of the profits.
General Bolognik was sweating profusely after he figured it out, and was almost tricked by the envoy from the royal capital. So he excused himself as the military region and the executive committee were busy with affairs, and the royal capital's request needed to be carefully considered and studied.
Then he just pushed it to the present and left the envoys from the royal capital alone for half a month. Anyway, the war happened in the kingdom itself, and the overseas autonomous regions were not in a hurry at all. They had plenty of time to deal with the envoys from the royal capital.
But two days ago, those envoys from the royal capital received another letter from the kingdom itself, and then they blocked the doors of the autonomous territory military region headquarters and executive committee office building every day. According to them, there will be large-scale incidents in the kingdom's mainland in the coming year.
The famine situation has begun to appear. I hope that the adults of the Dominion will help the Kingdom for the sake of their compatriots, and transport a large amount of grain and grass to the Kingdom before the end of the year, so as to contribute to the Kingdom surviving this famine and defeating the enemy...
.
Unable to stand being pestered by these special envoys from the royal capital, General Bolognik simply handed over the matter to Claude, General Skerry, and General Aprent. If it weren't for General Chiklin who was far away from Rhodes
In the Bay Colony, maybe he will also come to Claude's house for a gathering to discuss whether to provide assistance.
This time, General Beach Green went to Rodex Bay Colony mainly because the five-year lease colony agreement signed between the United Kingdom of Fox Islands and the Kingdom of Hicks will expire at the end of this year. He defeated the Kingdom of Hicks and forcibly occupied it.
The 2nd Division of the Rock Corps of Rodex Bay Colony will return to the Rocky Mountain State at the end of the year to end the occupation of Rodex Bay Colony. General Beachlin will preside over the mopping up and retreat work.
"This year there is really a widespread harvest failure in the kingdom. Will there be famine in many local counties next year? Hasn't it been good weather in the past few years? How could this happen?" General Albert still didn't believe those special envoys from the royal capital.
words.
"The spies we sent to the mainland of the kingdom have all sent news." General Skerry replied: "The situation is exactly as what these royal envoys said. Two-thirds of the local counties in the kingdom have experienced widespread harvest failures.
The main reason is that the civil war in the Kingdom a few years ago and the refugees destroyed the farmland irrigation facilities in these local counties, and they have not been repaired.
It was not obvious when planting was resumed on a small scale last year. This problem was discovered only when large-scale agricultural production was carried out this year. However, due to the shortage of funds, manpower and material resources, and the local administrative office's deliberate concealment of reporting good news but not bad news, the problem became apparent during the autumn harvest.
It broke out in a concentrated manner. If there was no such debt war, the capital could still grit its teeth and barely survive this difficulty.
As long as we allocate a sum of funds and organize manpower to repair these irrigation facilities and dredge the canals in winter, we can have a good harvest next year. But this debt war came so unexpectedly that the limited funds of the royal capital have to be invested in this war.
They are unable to cope with the upcoming famine. As a last resort, they can only turn to our overseas autonomous territories for help..."
In fact, there is another reason that everyone is well aware of, but it cannot be put on the table. In the past, during the reign of the late king Sterling
to overcome the difficulties. The main reason is the blood transfusion from the overseas territories to the Kingdom itself, helping the Kingdom to survive natural and man-made disasters.
The overseas territories at that time were the origins of raw materials for the Kingdom to plunder wealth and production resources. Whether it was agricultural products or mineral resources, they were imported to the Kingdom at extremely low prices or even less than the cost, maintaining the Kingdom for nearly twenty years.
Economic development. This unfair ocean trade and scissor-like economic plunder enabled the kingdom to finally accumulate enough wealth to cope with the anti-Austrian Five-Nation Alliance.
It was just a five-year war in the eastern region that wiped out the treasury wealth accumulated by the Overas Kingdom in the past twenty years. Although it became a victor that did not live up to its name, the subsequent colonial war launched by the Hicks Kingdom made overseas
The demesne was involved in the war and was no longer able to support the economic revival of the kingdom. The civil war in the kingdom caused by the two kings' struggle for the throne, and the tyranny of Prince Wedelek after he ascended the throne, eventually led to the kingdom's decline.
When the Overseas Territory War Zone finally won the colonial war, their relationship with the kingdom was shattered. They directly implemented autonomy and no longer provided any support to the kingdom. Even if the fourth prince Frederic I ascended to the throne and brought order to the chaos,
, but the ensuing war and this widespread harvest failure exposed the weakness of the kingdom, which could no longer withstand any storms. This was the main reason why they could only come to the overseas autonomous territories for help in the end...
