Thousands of sparks

Chapter 70 Backstage
Dusande sat in his "prison", silent.

It's not that he has lost his fighting spirit, it's just that Dusand himself hasn't fully understood and accepted the status quo.

This... How did this offend the Duke?

The duke was the apex of the nobility in the colonial system.In other words, he is equivalent to the "ball length" of Planet Newall.

170 Five years ago, the ancestors of the Duke of Saar organized a pioneering group, and then discovered this small planet hanging in the dark universe like luck.

The Duke of Saar, who was only Mr. Saar at the time, named the planet after himself, called his discovery "New Saar", and declared the planet and its galaxy to belong to the great Emperor His Majesty.

Newsail, who became the pioneering colony star, became a jewel in the imperial crown.And the discoverer and keeper of this pearl...is Duke Saar.

Now, Dusande was surprised to find that the stick he played in Bosenc seemed to hit the Duke on the head.

He began to understand and accept reality.

Then panic.

You are a duke, a duke!Dusande was heartbroken, as if a storm was blowing in his mind.A dignified duke can be crushed to death by gold pounds as long as he lies in bed every day without even moving a finger.

If it is changed to shillings, it can be smashed to death dozens of times.

Dusande was furious, furious and furious.

If I were the Duke, the internal combustion engine would have unified the empire by now!
If any traverser can control a planet, then he will be sorry for the "unification" attribute engraved into his DNA if he does not unify the entire universe.

As a result, you, the duke, are so promising... you set up a slave fishing ground in Bosenk?

Earn the last penny from the poor, are you not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door when you sleep at night?

Dusande was furious.

Then he calmed down.

It is a very strange thing in itself for a duke to be so "hungry".The nobles are a very strange group.Although most of them like "money", they are not fanatical.

The higher the nobility rank, the weaker the need for money.The Privy Council will distribute a huge amount of allowances to each nobleman every year.And at the level of dukes and marquises, part of the tax money in the colony will belong to them.

In other words, after reaching the rank of marquis and higher, it is impossible for nobles to be short of money.

The big nobles will not be short of money, and they will be more inclined to exert their influence in politics.This is a very normal development track - Maslow's theory clearly points out that after the realization of "survival needs", "security needs", "social needs" and "self-esteem needs", the level of human needs will rise to " Self-actualization".

Monsieur Duke is of great stature, and could almost be called "powerful" on Newsail.Almost all his needs have been fulfilled.Then, as a descendant of the pioneers of Newsail, as one of the 42 colonial dukes of the empire, the Duke of Saar must have the need for "self-realization".

No matter whether this "self-realization" is noble or not, or whether it is worthy of the status of a duke.Such self-realization needs will inevitably appear, and become his future work and life direction.

Dusande sat cross-legged on the ground and began to meditate. What kind of "self-realization needs" does a duke have to produce such a crazy desire for money?
After contemplating for a long time, Dusand suddenly opened his eyes.

"It can't be..." He swallowed hard.

Duke Saar... planning to launch a rebellion?

The traitor Salvador's previous treasonous act made the empire have an enemy called the Alliance in the universe, and also shaped the Heraldry Management Office, an organization with great power.

Under the supervision of the Heraldry Management Office, no one should be able to successfully complete the preparations for treason.Whether it is money preparation, strategic materials collection, or military material reserves... All in all, in a society with a high degree of division of labor and professional complexity has risen to a jaw-dropping society, if you want to be under the supervision of the Heraldry Management Office, It is almost impossible to prepare for rebellion silently.

But apart from that, Dusand really couldn't think of what else the duke wanted to do.

If the other party intends to rebel... Dusande swallowed again, under the tension, he felt that his throat was about to burst into smoke.

Undoubtedly, his father and the Newsail Garrison Fleet he led, the Newsail Heraldry Management Office and the thousands of imperial troops stationed in Newsail will all become the main resistance to his rebellion.

The empire, like all other countries that have appeared in human history, has spent a lot of thought in order to maintain the stability and unity of the regime.

These special institutional and institutional settings have maintained the vigorous development of the empire for 400 years.Now, Duke Thrall seems to have decided to challenge this mechanism.

Of course, this is just Dusand's speculation without any evidence.He couldn't even write this speculation into the notebook of the Heraldry Management Office, and asked the Heraldry Management Office to investigate Duke Saar.

The highest ceiling he was able to push the investigation was Earl.

Colt is still "seductive" to Dusand, and he keeps trying to convince Dusand, "The poor are just a group of creatures that look like us, and only nobles and free people are the real kind."

What Colt said was sincere and earnest.Du Sande felt that there was a high probability that this old guy really believed what he said.

If it was just to convince himself not to be hostile to Boysenc Fishing Company, Colt could have made up a bunch of nonsense to scare Dusand first.For example, the fishery company is actually a product of the cooperation of a nobleman who has a close relationship with Androni. For example, the attack this time is that the fishery company was misled by Finn, the "damned alliance bastard"...

There are ten thousand kinds of arguments that can frighten Du Sande for a short time and make him unable to prove it for a while, but Colt chose the persuasion method of "the poor cannot be trusted, they are just moths of society".

Dussand sighed, which made sense.

Whether it's Colt or the fishing company...they're really stupid, and it can even be said that they are ridiculously stupid.

But this group of people have been stupid for 122 years, but they still live unscrupulously in this land. The reason may not be simpler.

Their backstage... is the biggest nobleman on this planet, and this nobleman seems not to be going to be just a nobleman anymore.

"Come out!" According to the original plan, Dusand was re-tied out of the cell by a group of aggressive guards three hours after entering the cell.They cursed and scolded Du Sande for cheating their feelings, he was a damned nobleman.Then he threw Dusand into Finn's room.

"The situation is not good." After seeing Finn, Dusand spoke first.He lowered his voice and said solemnly, "The backstage of these bastards is unexpectedly tough, and ordinary small fights may not be able to kill them."

Finn didn't make any special gestures, he untied Dusand's hands, and then stuffed a letter into his hands, "The letter that was just delivered two quarters of an hour ago, you should read it first... Finn paused and said, "The flour and coal that Colt promised have been delivered to the village. With these things, the people in the village can at least spend this winter safely."

He looked at Dusand, hesitated and said, "If the backer of the fishing company is too strong, then give up the plan. I will start to evacuate the villagers now, at least they still have a way to survive. You can go directly to Upper Arles safely through the Imperial Navy." Bin, what happened here is as if it never happened.”

"What about you?" Dusande stopped reading the letter. He turned to look at Finn and asked, "The villagers can run, and so can I. But without the support of the villagers, what will you do?"

"I have annoyed the fishing company, and I have to give them a way to vent their anger." Finn pretended to be relaxed, "Anyway, after I escaped from the mine, every day I lived was considered to be earned..."

"Okay, shut up. I'm from the Belford family, and I don't have the habit of betraying my own people for safety." Dusande interrupted Finn very roughly. He scratched his hair, and then seriously Think for a moment.

"I do have a method that can come in handy, but..." He looked at Finn and said helplessly, "It's just that you may have to suffer a little bit."
