Farming Road from Baron to Emperor

Chapter 89 Earl Bram continues to make things difficult

"Please don't spread rumors casually, Earl Bram. You must know that there are no gold mines in the entire Tulipland. Where can I go to privately mint gold coins. Even if there is, I will not do this. Only His Majesty the King has the ability to forge gold coins in the entire Principality of Artem." Power." Charles said righteously.

His Majesty the King holds the right to mint coins in the Principality of Artem. As a tax official, Earl Bram naturally has more say in the determination of the composition of gold coins.After all, there are all kinds of gold coins in the Principality of Atum, regardless of the gold coins of the Principality of Luma and the Principality of Sukale, but there are several kinds of gold coins in the Principality of Attem.

"Okay, then I will check the quality of these gold coins." After finishing speaking, Earl Bram stepped forward, picked up a few gold coins and looked at them carefully. After a while, he closed the coffin and said, "Baron Charles, the gold content in this gold coin is not enough, and your 1000 gold coins are only 700 gold coins."

The wrinkled old face like a chrysanthemum looked at Charles, and smirked coldly.The meaning of this is also very clear, I just want you, what can you do.

Charles didn't want to entangle with him anymore. At this time, entangled with him about the fineness of the gold coins was undoubtedly asking for trouble. Anyway, he had just snatched a bunch of gold coins from Freud's nobles.Take it from the Little family, use it from the Little family.This year is the canonization of titles, a few hundred gold coins in the district, it is like feeding dogs.

"Okay, since Earl Bram said there is a problem, then there is a problem." Charles looked at Rice and said, "Give us 450 gold coins to Earl Bram."

"No, 300 gold coins is not enough." As soon as Charles opened his mouth, Earl Bram interrupted before he could finish listening.Then his face froze, and he froze in place.It was just a simple division, and Earl Bram really regarded himself as a genius.

There was a clattering sound, and another pile of gold coins was scattered on the ground. This time, Earl Bram didn't make any fuss.

Charles put on a hypocritical smile, "Earl Bram, is there any problem this time, it won't happen that the gold coins will be lost after I leave."

Earl Bram's face was ashen, and his tone was cold, "Just don't worry, the tax office is the safest place in the royal city, and even if there is a problem, you will not be involved."

"Oh, that's good!" After saying that, Charles turned his head and left, leaving only Earl Bram with an ugly face.

Going south from the government affairs hall, the houses on both sides are very luxuriously built, and you may meet nobles in gorgeous clothes on the road from time to time.Going south along this avenue, the crowd gradually increased, and shops began to appear on both sides of the street, and the gold and silver district of Timdow Square arrived.

A luxuriously decorated shop came into view, and Charles remembered that he hadn't bought any gifts for Fina yet, thinking so, he walked towards the shop.

Walking into the shop, the decoration inside is very luxurious, with golden lights everywhere, even the servants standing at the door are also gorgeously dressed.

"Hello, sir." The servant stood aside after speaking, and did not move closer to Charles.

Shire wandered around the store casually, but the things inside didn't look right, and Shire didn't find anything suitable after shopping for a long time.

Just when Shire was about to leave, the servant came up again and said, "Master, the jewelry on the second floor is even better. If you are still not satisfied, we have a special goldsmith here to make it for you." .”

Charles walked around the second floor again, but found that there was nothing suitable, so he came up with the idea of ​​designing one for Fina.

Fina's soft blond hair was as silky and dense as satin.Charles usually likes to touch Fina's blond hair, and now he has the idea of ​​designing a hairpin for her, which is also a tribute to her previous life from a certain point of view.

Charles called for a goldsmith, and sketched out the general shape and its use.Hairpins are not sophisticated things. Goldsmith basically has a general image in his mind when he hears it.

"It can be built in a few days."

"Master, it can be built in three days. Do you need to inlay gems?"

"Inlay a ruby ​​in the back, and remember that the pattern of the hairpin must not go wrong."

"Master, don't worry, there will be no problems. You can pick it up in three days."

After everything was fine, Charles walked out of the shop and walked further along the avenue. The crowd inside became more and more crowded. Charles looked at the carriage and the iris infantry behind him, gave up the idea of ​​continuing to wander, and planned to return to the big Prince's estate.

After returning to the manor, it was already afternoon, and the eldest prince had already left for the banquet.

Fina walked over, but Charles took off his coat and said, "Nothing happened."

"It's okay, it's just small things."

"Have you eaten yet? Do you want me to ask the chef to make you something to eat?"

Charles took Fina's little white hand, "Can I eat people?"

Fina pressed Charles's lips with fingers like onions, and said coquettishly: "No." After she finished speaking, she walked outside. Recently, she heard from Kitty that if she wants to conceive a child, she can't laugh every day .

Although Kitty was still a baby, she had listened to the gossip of those noble ladies a lot when she attended the banquet, Fina thought, anyway, it would be worthwhile to try.If Charles knew, he would definitely say that Fina didn't talk about martial arts, and finally he gained the upper hand.

After seeing Fina leave, Charles sat on a chair and thought about how to deal with Earl Bram.This matter does not necessarily require him to do it alone. According to Earl Bram's behavior, there must be many people who have offended, but there is a lack of stunned youth to expose this matter.

What Charles was not sure about was the attitude of Earl Violet and Earl Geithner towards Earl Bram.

Judging from Earl Bram's consistent style, it is estimated that relying on his own right to speak, questioning the fineness of gold coins will not only happen to Shire alone, and it is estimated that Earl Violet and Earl Geithner are also considered by Bram. The earl was cheated.

But the hatred between them is definitely not as good as the hatred between Charles and Earl Bram. If he launches an offensive against Earl Bram, will Earl Violet and Earl Geithner take the opportunity to fall into trouble, or think about the enemy? Enemies are friends, but turned enemies into friends, let's deal with Shire together.These are all unknowns.

Charles pondered, this matter must be done. Anyway, Earl Bram has already had a bad relationship. There was a dispute over things.

The main reason is that he doesn't care about this matter now. Earl Bram has the right to speak, so he naturally has the right to question it. Could it be that these trivial matters have been brought before the king, and it is estimated that for the benefit of the king, it is impossible to favor Shire.

After Earl Bram returned home, he began to lose his temper. Obviously, Charles' indifferent attitude made him very angry. As the chief political officer of the Duchy of Artem, he had never received such anger.

And now he was insulted by a little boy, a mere baron. He originally earned 450 gold coins, and his wounded heart got a little comfort, but when he heard that the money was distributed from the dead Floyd Little His anger became even more uncontrollable.

That was his nephew, his own nephew, maybe even his own son, he couldn't swallow this breath.

"Go and call Baron Norbert, Baron Carlo, and Baron Declan." Earl Bram said to the valet with a fierce look on his face.

"It's master, I'm going right now."

As the chief tax officer, he is naturally nepotism. These barons sent to various earldoms to collect taxes are all members of the Little family.

The three came hand in hand, walked into the hall, saw that the hall was full of broken porcelain, suppressed the restless thoughts in their hearts, looked calm, and walked forward.

As Earl Bram's eldest son, Baron Carlo, he naturally wouldn't take it too seriously and said, "Father, what happened?"

Bram first scolded and scolded Shire, and then briefly explained what happened just now.

The three of them nodded naturally, and followed Earl Bram to scold Charles, especially Baron Carlo, who had been used to being arrogant and domineering over the years, and the scolding was even worse.

"Father, just look at it, this beast that killed his parents will definitely not please him."

"Do you guys have any good ways to deal with him?" Bram said aloofly.There are some things that are cheaper for him as an earl, such as making things difficult for Charles in the street.

However, Baron Norbert, who made things difficult at the gate of the city, did not invite him again. He thought of Charles' murderous eyes, and he couldn't help but took a step back, even the scolding gradually became smaller.

Earl Bram looked at his eldest son, Baron Carlo, who would succeed him as a tax officer if nothing else happened. He asked, "What are your plans?"

Baron Carlo's face was smug. He didn't expect his father to ask him for help. He said confidently: "Father, I plan to start from three aspects."

Baron Carlo, who was usually out of tune, suddenly became serious, and Bram also became interested. "Oh, how to start from three aspects."

"First of all, to insult him, I found out that Baron Nashire customized a hair accessory for his wife, and I heard that he invented it himself.

It's not that I laughed at him, as a barbarian in the north, he can have any aesthetics.Dad, didn't you just take 450 gold coins from him, so you used the gold coins to buy his hair accessories, and then inserted them into the dunghill for him.

Not only that, I heard that Baron Shire is extremely rude, but his wife, Fina, is said to be a beautiful young woman.If I did it myself, I'd be sure to catch her eye, and maybe Charles' son would have to be named Little.

In the end, rumors will be spread in the city of Pella. After he was born, his mother died. After he became an adult, his father died. After he became a baron, the earl died. Now he wants to become an earl. Isn't our majesty the king worried? You know, he fainted once a few days ago, so he didn't take it into consideration. "

It was the first time for Carlo to say such a long sentence, and he couldn't help panting after he finished speaking. He is in his 30s, and like his father, he likes to make up, and pursues paleness in makeup, because this is the look of being pampered.

Moreover, he also got a kind of aristocratic disease from the Duchy of Luma, which is a lung disease. Most nobles in the Duchy of Luma have this disease. Because of this disease, their faces are pale and flushed, which is very in line with the current aesthetics.But what he didn't know was that in the Principality of Luma, usually only noble ladies would fight to get this disease, and noble young masters also got sick, but compared to them, it was much less.

Earl Bram's face was overjoyed, and his wrinkles piled up together, causing a lot of fine powder on his face to fall off.

"That's right, that's right, you can do it yourself." He looked at the servant and ordered, "Prepare three hundred gold coins for him."

"Yes, sir."

The corners of Baron Carlo's mouth raised uncontrollably. Three hundred gold coins are probably enough for him to live comfortably for a year.

The ring that Mrs. Caro has always wanted, and the hair accessory that Mrs. Buniro wanted are also available.

"Father, I will definitely handle this matter beautifully."

"Okay, back off."

"Yes, father."

"Yes, Lord Count."

Baron Carlo, Baron Norbert, and Baron Declan bowed and stepped back.

In the study room of Aquinas Castle, the body of the old king Ashuraf Aquinax was leaning on a chair, his crooked body sunken.

Gillis couldn't help worrying, what would happen to the Principality of Artem if the master died suddenly and no prince was appointed to succeed him.Alas, since the last time he fainted suddenly, the master's body has been getting worse day by day.

The old king opened his eyes, cloudy eyeballs and wrinkled eyelids. "What's going on with that brat, Bram and Ciel?"

Gillis replied respectfully: "My lord, Earl Bram stole a sum of tax money from Shire. But Shire killed Earl Bram's nephew in Tulip. Today Earl Bram is planning how to deal with Xia. you."

The candle flickered slightly in the study, and the room fell silent. The old king didn't speak, and Gillis waited quietly.After a while, the old king's old voice sounded. "Don't worry about it for the time being, let them go on their own. Dogs that can't guard the house are worthless. Besides, my old friend Earl Bram has been staying for too long, so it's time to move."

"Where are Nkata and Xavier?"

"My lord, the second prince Enkata and Earl Rhonda have left the town of Noble, and they will probably arrive tomorrow. The third prince Xavier, Earl Violet, and Earl Geithner have left the town of Kara and will arrive the day after tomorrow."

"Gillis, who do you think is the right person for the throne of the Principality of Artem?"

"It's up to the master to decide everything." Gillis said respectfully as he got down on one knee.

"Get up, it's cold on the ground, you're so old, don't freeze your body, go down."

"Yes, sir." Gillis turned and walked out.

Suddenly a voice came from behind, "Remember to protect the illegitimate son of the eldest prince and send someone to teach him, but there must be no news about it."

"Yes!" Gillis stopped.

"Go out."

"Yes!"

The study room returned to the original dead silence. A deep sigh came from the darkness. The old king touched his heart. Time waits for no one. The choice of the throne should be accelerated.
