Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

Fall in love with your reading network, your majesty, the spectacle missed the country!

　　 At Bruno's order, Creel hurried away.

　　 As Bruno's confidant and the director of Idar's CIA, Krell knew clearly how important the Church of Illumination occupies in the hearts of Lord Duke.

　　 Compared with other forces, the CIA has done the most work on the Church of Light.

　　 But the results achieved are the least.

　　Because... what the Bright Church hides is too deep.

　　 Even the bishop-level clergy may not be clear about what the church wants.

　　Whether it is Mike, who was once a cardinal, or Will Roach, the former leader of the Crusade Army who is now in the Principality of Idar, even if they are the core force that has been cultivated by the church, they don't know much about many things.

　　Although Agent Idar has been trying to use money offensives to corrupt the clergy outside the church, the useful information that they eventually get from them is still pitiful.

　　Moreover, the accuracy of many messages is still open to question, and it is difficult to cross-check it. On the contrary, it adds a lot of tasks to the intelligence personnel of the Idar CIA out of thin air.

so……

　　 Don’t look at how irritating the Idar CIA sounds today, but Krell’s heart is very clear that this is far from enough! !

　　 At least... there is still a big gap between the requirements of my lord duke!

　　 The establishment time is too short, the available people are too few, the coverage is limited...

　　 These above,

　　 are all questions raised by the CIA in Idar.

　　 Due to the shortage of manpower, most of the intelligence personnel of the Idar CIA are now distributed around the Principality of Idar.

　　 A little further away is the central part of the empire, an important city like Saint Lawrence, the imperial capital.

　　 As for the places far away from the Duchy of Idar in the western part of the empire...

　　 It's not that the Idar CIA didn't want to deploy manpower, it was really because of lack of strength.

　　 It is precisely because of this that when the Graf family came to this land located in the eastern part of the empire and took the initiative to make a decision to seek refuge in the Duchy of Idar, the old Ford would pay particular attention to it.

　　If the Idar CIA can smoothly integrate the Graf family's intelligence network all over the empire, then the "business" capabilities of the Idar CIA will undoubtedly go up a lot!

so……

　　 Not long after Krell left, Old Ford wore a thick coat and walked into Bruno's study.

　　 "Krell urged you to come over..."

　　 Bruno took a sip of steaming coffee and said with a smile.

　　 Seeing this, Old Ford did not hide it, but nodded very seriously:

"Sister and brother Ferona have lived in Idar for a long time. As for...the CIA, Krell has also asked people to conduct several checks. It should be sincere and sincere to want to take refuge in us. Since Lord Duke, you have returned. ...Then it is always better to give an answer as soon as possible."

　　 If it were to be a general aristocratic immigrant, in fact, Bruno did not need to personally give instructions.

　　 But the problem is...

　　The Graff family is no ordinary nobleman!

Although the Graf family, which holds the title of Marquis of Soto, is not the top noble family among the many nobles in the middle of the empire, the intelligence network owned by the Graf family can just make up for Idar. The CIA has many shortcomings and shortcomings.

　　 Therefore, this also makes the seemingly weak Sister Ferona have the qualifications to negotiate with Bruno and fight for more rights for themselves.

　　Before that, due to Bruno’s temporary absence in Idar City, Ferona’s sister and brother had been delayed for a long time, but now that Bruno had returned to the Duchy of Idar, it was of course impossible to continue.

　　Although according to Bruno's idea, Idar's CIA's manpower is naturally better trained by himself, but...the Church of Illumination now has more and more frequent actions, but Bruno has to make arrangements as soon as possible.

　　 The inclusion of the intelligence network operated by the Graff family for generations was also a decision made by Bruno out of vigilance towards the Church of Illumination.

To know,

　　If the Bright Church jumps upside down,

　　 Then it will definitely be a much more terrifying opponent than any other force on this continent.

after all……

　　 Behind the church not only hides countless secrets, but it also has a large number of believers.

　　 It is true that the number of the Crusaders may not seem to be large.

　　 But relying on the power of the Bright Church, once the church is determined to intervene in the power of the world, it can completely pull up an extremely large army in a very short time.

　　 Nowadays, the influence of Protestantism is mainly distributed in the eastern part of the empire, and the indulgences sold by the church have not caused a large-scale rebound in a short period of time.

　　 Even though the development situation of Protestantism is very good, it still fails to shake the foundation of the church’s centuries of accumulation of believers.

　　 And once the church is really determined to intervene in the disputes of the secular world, then the Stuart family, the guardians of the Protestant faith, is bound to become a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh of the Church of Light.

Because……

　　 The ideological conflict between the church and the Protestant religion is definitely the most direct and inevitable!

　　 "I have already read the conditions put forward by the Graff family..."

　　 Bruno paused, thinking for a moment, and then continued: "In fact, in many ways, it can be discussed... It's just that some requirements must be changed."

　　 "Then you mean..." Old Ford cautiously tentatively said.

　　 Bruno looked at the sky outside the window, touched his slightly deflated stomach, and said, "Eat first, and talk while eating!"

　　 People are iron, rice is steel, and a meal is not panicking.

　　 Although the affairs of the Graff family are really important, when discussing things, you always have to fill your stomach before you can think.

The cook who is in charge of Bruno’s diet has already mastered a large number of cooking methods under Bruno’s careful training. The dishes made are in line with Bruno’s taste, and finally Bruno has escaped from the breaded steak and French fries. The sea of ​​bitterness.

　　 When Bruno and Old Ford entered the restaurant at the same time, the steaming stove had been placed on the table.

hot pot!

　　 In Bruno’s heart, the cold winter and the steaming hot pot are a perfect match.

　　Imagine that it is a cold winter day outside, and the room is a steaming hot pot. After eating, the whole body is warm and dry. If you are getting a spicy pot bottom, it will be extraordinarily comfortable!

　　 And hot pot is naturally to shabu-shabu-shabu.

　　 Therefore, the vegetables and meat on the table can be described as a variety of dishes, such as baby cabbage, chrysanthemum, bitter chrysanthemum, etc. There are also many vegetables, and even a beautiful fruit platter is prepared.

　　If it is replaced by other places on this continent, even as a nobleman, it is impossible to see these extremely fresh green vegetables on the table in winter.

　　 But in the Principality of Idar, the vegetable shed is no longer such a rare thing.

　　 Not to mention elsewhere, just on the hillside outside the city of Idar, there are many vegetable greenhouses that have just been built in recent years.

　　 So, at the beginning, everyone would be amazed, but now, most of them have become accustomed to it.

　　 isn’t it just green leafy vegetables!

　　 Idars are not the unseen buns in the interior of the empire!

　　 As for the meat, the lord’s kitchen selects the best parts of the cattle and sheep, and then the fat chef with superb knife skills personally takes care of it.

　　 Although it was not cut into slices as thin as a cicada's wing, it was even thick and thin, and the lines on it were clearly visible.

　　 By the time Bruno took his seat, the fat lady cook had already lit the fire underneath in advance, and the thick soup in the hot pot had gurgled to a boil.

　　 The bottom of the pot is spicy, with a lot of chili floating on it, which looks red, which makes Bruno's index finger move.

　　 "Sit down..."

　　 Bruno waved at Old Ford, indicating that he needn't be restrained.

　　 For Old Ford, although he has always been deeply trusted by the Lord Duke of his own, but I have never eaten together a few times, let alone eat with the Lord Duke from a pot, so I feel a little nervous.

　　 "These red stuff..."

　　 Although Old Ford had already tried hot pot, the original cooking method created by the Duke of his own, and was full of praise for it, he couldn't help but hesitate looking at the peppers floating on the bottom of the pot.

　　 But old Ford can’t be blamed, because after all, the planting of peppers has just started this year, and it is quite unfamiliar to many people. It is also the first time Bruno has come out to entertain guests.

　　 "This is a chili pepper. The first time I eat it, it may feel particularly pungent and irritating, but it can remove dampness and dispel the cold. It is good for the body to eat a little bit in moderation."

　　 Upon seeing this, Bruno introduced enthusiastically.

　　 Chili is a good thing!

　　 On weekdays, Bruno’s favorite is chili.

But before that, because there were not enough brilliant points in the pocket, I had to make careful calculations, and I didn’t dare to buy pepper seeds in the system mall for planting, so I knew that at this time, Idalling’s first batch of peppers was tossed out. .

　　 "Can it also dehumidify and dispel cold?"

　　 Hearing this, Old Ford was immediately moved.

　　 After all, he is getting older, and he will inevitably develop various illnesses as he grows older. Therefore, he naturally has a lot of interest in the hot pepper that the Duke of his own highly respected.

　　 After Bruno had sandwiched a piece of hot beef and sent it to the mouth, Old Ford picked up the beef and sent it to the mouth.

　　 You must know that even if you are an old Ford with a high weight, you will not eat beef often, because after all, this is the livestock that you need to rely on for farming. The number of slaughtered by the Department of Agriculture each year has a clear limit.

　　 At the moment of entrance,

　　 In addition to the tenderness of the beef itself, the stimulus brought by the spicy flavor also burst into Old Ford’s mouth.

　　 It was almost a moment's time, and a faint red light appeared on Old Ford's face.

　　 "huhu..."

　　 He couldn't help but drank a few sips of the cold water beside him, and said: "This smell... is really strong..."

　　 "It's good to be used to it, I specially made someone to adjust the sauce, and dipped it in it first, it should not be so spicy..."

　　 Bruno said with a smile.

　　 Upon hearing this, Old Ford nodded.

　　 I should say that although it tastes hot and spicy, for the old Ford, the spicy taste brings a unique appeal.

　　……

　　 The two people gathered around a table and had a feast.

　　 When the food was almost the same, Bruno asked:

　　 "What do you think about the two sisters and brothers of Ferona?"

　　 In fact, Bruno already had preliminary considerations in his mind, but he still wanted to hear the thoughts of old Ford.

After all... In Bruno’s view, it may not be a good thing if you have to toss out some things that he once imagined now, because for the Principality of Idar today, that stuff is really a bit early. NS.

　　 But in order to fight the church, Bruno must unite all the forces that can be united in the shortest possible time!

　　 And this is also one of them, naturally also includes giving more favors to the nobles who take refuge in the Principality of Idar!

　　 Old Ford wiped the greasy corners of his mouth, pondered a little, and then said:

　　 "The issue of land is the bottom line of the Principality of Idar, and there is no room for negotiation. As for the brothers and sisters of Ferona... I have two immature ideas for the time being."

　　 Bruno asked calmly: "Oh? Come and listen."

"In my opinion, Miss Ferona can be regarded as a very talented nobleman. It is completely different from those Norman nobles who only know how to eat and wait to die. Perhaps she can be granted certain official positions and give her enough respect and respect. The status, but... it must be clear in advance that the official position of the Duchy of Idar cannot be inherited by the descendants of the Graf family."

　　 Bruno nodded when he heard the words, and added another piece of hot meat, dipped it in the oil dish, and continued:

　　 "What about another idea?"

"Another idea is to set up an organization that is only responsible for you. The nobles can serve in this organization, but they only have the power to put forward opinions and plans. They cannot directly intervene in the daily affairs of the Principality of Idar, let alone interfere with public servants. Administrative law enforcement."

　　 good fellow!

　　 Old Ford really is the duke's most trusted person!

　　 At the moment when he heard Old Ford’s second thought, Bruno’s heart was suddenly filled with a feeling of...particularly relief.

　　 This is not politics...

Oh no,

　　 Isn’t this the upper house of John Niu’s house?

　　In John Bull’s House of Lords, the status of members includes royal descendants, hereditary nobles, lifelong nobles, judges of the court of appeal, and church archbishops and bishops.

　　As of Bruno's crossing, the House of Lords has undergone many reforms, and its power is relatively limited.

　　Although they still have the right to shelve vetoes on bills and can review bills passed by the House of Commons, they mainly raise oral or written inquiries to the government and debate various policy issues promulgated by the government.

　　 Before this,

　　 In fact, Bruno had such thoughts a long time ago.

　　 It is precisely because of this that Bruno specifically called old Ford to see what old Ford thinks about the placement of the Graff family.

　　 just...

　　 Bruno has always felt that it is too early to launch such an institution at this time, and even if a similar institution is to be launched, he will impose stricter restrictions on related powers.

　　 For example... it is enough to give some suggestions~www.readwn.com~Don't think about tossing other twists and turns!

　　 What Bruno didn't expect was that Old Ford actually made a similar point.

　　 And since even the old Ford thinks it is feasible... then the related institutions seem to be able to be arranged.

　　 After all, as the ruler of the Principality of Idar, Bruno himself is a member of the aristocratic class. Although he is now continuously supporting civilian officials of low origin, it is impossible to kill all the nobles with one stick.

　　 Bruno thought for a moment, and finally made up his mind:

　　 “Regarding the preparations for the establishment of the House of Lords, the Council of State Affairs has to formulate a plan these days, and the powers given to them are mainly to inquire and supervise the work of the Council of State Affairs, and to put forward its own ideas for the ills of the Principality of Idar.”

　　 "Of course, you don't have to worry too much. As for the Graff family, you can reserve a noble seat for them at that time. As for whether it can be hereditary... You can discuss it first, and I will weigh it after the plan is put out."

"In addition, you have to imagine a House of Commons composed of civilians. As for the power... it can be a little bigger than the House of Lords, but there is no need to worry about this. If you get it out within three to five years, even if you complete the task. "

　　 Hearing this, Old Ford couldn't help but stunned.

　　 But he still endured the tremor in his heart, and replied in a deep voice, "Understood."
