People are building infrastructure in another world

Chapter 147
Goddess: [It will not be affected, you have been pregnant for a month, sorry, host, I didn't find out immediately. 】

"It's okay. I didn't pay attention. After I gave birth, I'll see if there is any medicine to inactivate Miguel's sperm. I don't want to have another baby. I'm tired enough to be pregnant with one, and Xiao Xiami is still young."

Goddess: [I still can't tell the gender, what if it's a girl, don't you always want a boy to inherit the Viscount Hunter's territory? 】

"Girls are girls. With the useless Viscount Hunter as the lord, isn't his territory allowed to be manipulated by me? His luck is so strange, it would be nice to have some bad luck. If he is killed, he will The rebound is not worth the candle."

Aurora is confident that even if Viscount Hunter returns to the territory and wants to dictate the current management, she can suppress him and make him dare not say a word.

She is a creditor, and unless Viscount Hunter pays off the debt, she will always be an uncle.

Viscount Hunter couldn't escape.

Goddess: [But didn't you ask him to use the port to mortgage the debt? 】

"Yes, so what I signed in the contract is that after he returns me 190 million, if it's like redeeming the port, he has to make up the estimated value of the port one year later. If a port is in my hands, can I depreciate it?"

Goddess: 【I knew, you wouldn't be that stupid. 】

"No one is a fool! If Hunter is not so anxious for money and doesn't anger me, I may not be able to set a trap for him to step on."

Aurora walked slowly to the side hall, and Miguel was already at the door. He had just finished handling the last batch of transactions in the autumn dragon movement and had already taken a shower.

He stretched out his hand, Aurora reached for it, the servant pushed the door open, bowed and sent the two of them into the side hall.

The side hall of the Imperial Capital Taylor Manor is quite large, and one side hall can accommodate more than 20 nobles.

The seats were all full, and Butler Werther moved two chairs.

Aurora sat down with Miguel.

"Good night, gentlemen, sorry for being a bit late." Aurora greeted politely first.

"We were the ones who were abrupt." Noble A said.

They were all dressed in expensive clothes, their cufflinks were inlaid with precious stones, and their necklines were pinned down, no matter how grand they were.

In contrast to the simplicity of the Taylors, they were a little nervous.

"I don't know what you are here for?" Aurora asked, distractedly talking to the goddess in her mind.

Goddess: [They came here to elect the Duke. 】

This Aurora knew a long time ago, just like to analyze their purpose of coming.

They saw Miguel with his eyes closed and Aurora drinking tea, waiting for them to speak.

It seems that the news that the Taylor family is managed by Aurora is true.

After being quiet for a while, it was still the nobles who couldn't help but speak first.

Noble B said: "Countess Taylor, I think you should have heard about the downfall of the Duke of Longwy and that the princess is going to choose a new Duke."

Aurora nodded, "Well, I heard, so?"

Noble A immediately echoed, "We prefer yours, Earl Taylor."

"Hmm, so what? Apart from Taylor's family, you should have other candidates." Aurora said along the lines.

Noble C nodded, then stopped abruptly, "The No. 1 choice is naturally the Taylor family."

"Thank you for your support, but I don't think we can afford the duke's responsibility." Aurora declined politely.

Noble A glared at Noble C, motioning him to shut up.

They all thought Aurora was playing hard to get.

Noble A was like a representative of this group of people, and continued: "Don't say that, Countess, your Taylor family deserves it."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Aurora yawned twice uncontrollably.

The nobles officially entered the topic.

"That's it. On behalf of the 120 nobles behind us, we will vote for you tomorrow afternoon. I wonder if you can win some special powers for us after you become the Duke."

"What special powers do you want?"

"I believe you all understand the power of the nobles. We don't want much, as long as Beichen's policies are not implemented in other places."

Aurora smiled, a bright smile.

The nobles exchanged glances with confidence.

"I think you guys are thinking about one thing wrong." Aurora said suddenly.

Noble A: "What do you mean, Your Excellency?"

"The prerequisite for you to negotiate terms with us is that Miguel and I both want to manage the dukedom. But who told you that we want this title." Aurora looked calmly, "I told you, we are in charge I'm sorry. I never joke about titles. We still can't manage the Beichen Territory, and we don't want to take the trouble to manage a rotten sweet potato. The people of the Duke of Longwei have been squeezed hard. You can get sweetness. Even if you get it, so what, I don't want to bring down Beichen, who is developing just right."

Uh!
The nobles were completely speechless. They carefully distinguished the expressions of Miguel and Aurora, not like joking.

They looked at each other.

The real master is not interested in participating at all. You say that the Taylor family has no ambitions. She almost annexed Hunter's territory.You say she is ambitious, she has no intention of competing for the Duke position at all.

So what are they busy these two days.

But what Aurora said was right, what to do with the rotten roots.

If you have ambitions and no matching strength, taking over is tantamount to killing yourself.

Aurora smiled and said, "We are telling the truth. We have never thought of becoming a duke, so for tomorrow's vote, please hold your hands high and let Taylor's family go."

Aurora thought so sincerely, she was pregnant again, how could she have so much free time to deal with all kinds of bad things in the dukedom.

"It's a bit late, I'm sorry for not being with you, please forgive me for the poor hospitality." Aurora finished.

It's all about this, and the other nobles didn't keep it.

With the side hall door opened and then closed.

The Taylors were nowhere to be seen.

Noble A wiped his face, "Okay, who will vote for tomorrow? Earl of Ghana?"

"Believe it or not that he can kill him afterwards. The first generation of his family had a rule that future generations must not be dukes, because the ancestors believed that people can't climb to the highest point. Once they reach the top, they will go downhill." Noble B is very Understand how obsessed these old-fashioned families of the Earl of Garner are with their ancestral precepts.

After all, the family really followed the ancestral precepts and allowed the family to prosper for hundreds of years.

The nobles are worried, who can they vote for tomorrow.

They wondered if Aurora felt that she could handle them in this way.

McGill has not yet taken office and cannot vote.His grandfather was getting old and didn't want to be a duke at all.

The other earls want to take the position, but is their strength allowed?

I'm afraid it's not that the buttocks are not hot enough to send it.

They are so worried, why is it so difficult to get some privileges? Supporting the superior is not the same as the meritorious superior.

If the other party really doesn't care, everything they do will be in vain.

……

McGill has heard about the King's Council Building. Last night, a wave of nobles went to Taylor Manor and returned without success. He laughed out loud. These nobles eat carrots and don't worry.

If such a big cake is delicious, why don't they eat it? If they want to eat it, they have to pretend to be the first.

In the name of helping, it is estimated that not only the Taylor family will return favors afterwards, but also control the lion's mouth.

It's right not to get used to them, this duke position, whoever likes to take it, and if he becomes it, he will get involved for no reason.

Soon, the results of the duke's selection came out. No.2 was Miguel, a newly rising count.

Miguel was very happy to see the selection results.

The Earl of Garner regretted, "I still vote for you, why can't I be the one. The eyes of other nobles are all blurred? Do you think the mess is so easy to take over?"

Miguel: "..."

McGill shook hands with the Earl of Garner, "I voted too."

The Duke of Montella turned his head, "Me too, as long as there is one more ticket, we will be able to meet frequently in the future and enter and exit the parliament building."

Those who are dukes often come to meetings because of the development of the empire, or to make major decisions, and it is too late to convene the nobles, so a few dukes and the royal family will make decisions together.

Miguel: No, I know it's a mess, what's the matter with you guys.

As for the earl who voted first, he held his head high and made a speech, saying that he was confident that he could manage the dukedom well.

The princess calmly handed down the title and asked him to start rectifying it immediately.

Someone was willing to take over, and everyone was relieved.

The duke was elected, and the king's meeting also concluded. This conflict between the royal family and the nobles was anticlimactic.

But it really changed the power structure of the empire.

Finished means going home.

Miguel hurried home to tell Aurora the good news.

Aurora was relieved.

Fortunately, the duke didn't take it, otherwise she would die a lot of brain cells.

Woke up the next day, stretched, and decided to go slave order that day.

She asked the goddess to make a list, a total of 2 people, and it was obviously too long to list them one by one.

Aurora thought of another way.

The slaves were temporarily placed in the Colosseum, and if they were ordered to leave, they would naturally go to the Colosseum.

For the first time, Aurora sat in the Colosseum with no one around.

This Colosseum is the property of the Duke of Longwei, and it is managed by Mrs. Longwei on weekdays.

The slaves were all imprisoned under the Colosseum, that is, under the dungeon, which could accommodate tens of thousands of people.

She first let orphans under the age of ten come out to the surface and let her pick them.

There are a total of 100 people. It is not easy for orphans to survive. Out of 2 people, 100 people can survive, which proves that the princess did not completely disregard her life.

She ticked off twenty of them.

Everything else.

Then the whole family was enslaved together.

Starting from a family of two, she gave up half of the three hundred pairs.

Then the family of three...

A bunch of picks.

2 people were sorted in eight hours.

She asked for almost half of the people, which is a very large number.

Among the people she picked were craftsmen.

These people, Aurora divided them and confirmed the type of work.

After the division, Aurora planned to leave.

A child rushed out suddenly and knelt down in front of her, "Madam, please accept me. If you don't accept me, your family will beat you to death..."

"No, let's go." Aurora was straightforward, too lazy to answer other people's arguments.

Maybe there are many poor people in it, but she is alone, can she take care of so many?

The spy hiding in the crowd was dumbfounded. Looking at Aurora who was walking so fast, and the dragon car passing away in the dust, why is this lady so weird that she can't even hear about the child's poor life experience.

Aurora's idea is very simple, she is not responsible for the child's pity, and she can't give it to the child who wants a home.

What can you change after listening to other people's stories?
So she has a clear purpose, just to pick people back to work in the territory.

On the way back, she encountered a group of ambushes, but the target of the ambush was not her, but the earl who had just ascended to the throne, who seemed to be Earl Gate.

It can't be called the Earl now, it should be called the Duke of Gate.

Miguel ordered the knight to come forward to help.

The assassins who ambushed the Duke of Gate were very skilled, but compared with Beichen's knights, they were still somewhat lacking, and they were quickly defeated.

The consequence of defeat is either death or suicide on the spot.

There is no living mouth.

Duke Gate crawled out of the carriage in embarrassment, his mid-length hair was in a mess.

He kept thanking Miguel, "I want to go home as soon as possible to deal with the dukedom, but as you can see, all the knights I brought were killed. I wonder if Earl Taylor can borrow two of your knights."

"Oh, no." Miguel refused: "Your Excellency the Duke must have ambushed more than once along the way, and my knight is not made of steel."

The rejected Duke Gates was not very happy, thinking that the former Duke favorite looked down on him.

But he doesn't show it on his face.

Miguel said again: "We can send you back to the imperial capital, and you can discuss with the Earl of Garner whether you can borrow a flying broom to return to the territory."

Duke Gate thought about it carefully, and had to admit that this was a safe and quick method.

"Can't you lend me?"

Aurora was a little annoyed by the Duke of Gait. Miguel said that, there must be a reason for the inconvenience.

"We have authorized the sale and rental of flying brooms to the Earl of Ghana, and it is inconvenient to pass through the Earl of Ghana. And Duke Gater, our Taylor family does not have a place to teach others to learn flying brooms in the imperial capital." Aurora just said one sentence , What if you fall from the sky halfway and want to re-elect the Duke.

The Duke of Gate has a very standard Chinese character face, square and square.The facial features are not majestic, and the squinted eyes give people the feeling of a sinister villain.

Aurora made it clear that he still has a sense of responsibility for why you didn't send the Buddha to the West.

As if they had done something unforgivable.

Aurora doubts whether the Duke of Gate can return to the territory alive.

After they sent people back to the imperial capital, Miguel and Aurora didn't care.

Beichen is going to leave more than 1 slaves, greatly reducing the pressure on the royal family.

There are more than 1 people, and it is impossible to transport them all by sea, and most of them can only be transported by land.Food arrangements and rest points must be arranged.

To prevent them from escaping, they can only be transported in batches.

Combined with the ground dragon carriage and sea transportation, fifty attendants were dispatched, divided into three groups, and they had to take care of so many people at once.

It was too much for the special Beichen and the imperial capital to run to the attendants.

Waiting for the last batch to ship out.

Aurora is going home to have a baby.

The sad news still came.
