Lord of the North

( ) It's just that this decision is a bit crazy. Before he has fully grasped the situation in Hierro Province, Jason doesn't plan to do it, because it will touch the interests of many nobles.

And he has another plan that needs to be implemented slowly during this period of time. He intends to trick those nobles in the matter of transferring the provincial capital of Hierro.

Maximize your own interests in Laian Port.

The convenience of river trade is not comparable to that of land transport. He may be able to make Laian Port the second economic center in the north, even surpassing Lucca City.

It's just that it will take a long time to fully implement this plan, because not all caravans can afford to buy merchant ships.

Speaking of merchant ships, Jason suddenly had another idea. Since these small caravans can't afford merchant ships, they can lease them. This lease business is a way to bring benefits to Jason.

In the eyes of those small chambers of commerce, the institutions that Jason came forward to guarantee should be more reliable than those large chambers of commerce. After all, Iron Fangling's policy of supporting business has won him a lot of favor among merchants, especially those who Small and Medium Chamber of Commerce.

A thousand troops were left to watch over the descendants, and the rest, led by Gareth, entered the city of Hierro to appease the civilians and take over the city defense.

Although the siege did not start, Bron's order had caused a lot of panic to these civilians. Some military commanders even took the opportunity to plunder and slaughter some wealthy households with their soldiers.

Then they were charged with violating the ban. These things needed to be thoroughly investigated one by one, and then the culprit was found out and beheaded for public display.

Only in this way can the panicked civilians accept Jason's army as quickly as possible.

In addition, those who manage the government of Yero City can no longer be used, because they are all decorations placed by Bron in that position.

In addition to being corrupt and accepting bribes, there are really few truly capable people who are Bloom's answerers, but fortunately, they are more or less clean, and it is easy to find excuses to take them down.

Immediately after the Crow's people occupied the city of Hierro, they took control of important places such as the armory, the granary, and Braum's castle, and carried out an inventory of supplies.

"Viscount Senna, what do you think of the city of Hierro or the province of Hierro?" Jason asked Viscount Senna who was following him casually as he walked in Bron's castle.

It stands to reason that Braum should not or could not build a castle in Hierro,

But for his enjoyment, and because he thought it would be safer to live in the castle, he cleared a large area in the east of the city and built a small garden castle.

It was not as large as Jason's castle in Iron Tooth Town, not even half of it, because Jason's large castle could accommodate thousands of people in case of an emergency.

It's just that Jason hasn't fully utilized it for the time being. A large area is closed, and only a part of the house is divided for the castle guards and servants to live in.

"Although I don't want to admit it, the current Yelo Province has reached the point where the exterior is glamorous and the interior is rotten. Among them, the city of Yelo is the most serious place."

Senna sighed, and said with some shame, after all, he is also a member of the noble lords of the province of Hierro, but the territory of the Ambrose family has long been lost, leaving only an old castle and a small village.

In fact, he is still a little puzzled now, because he doesn't understand why Jason brought himself by his side, and he doesn't think that his behavior of defending him at the previous negotiating table made Jason notice him.

Because he is also a member of the aristocratic interest group in the province of Hierro, strictly speaking he is also an enemy of Jason, but he is not the same as those nobles who are all devoted to their interests. sense of responsibility.

"If I hand over the city of Hierro to you, what will you do to improve the situation?" Jason looked at the busy soldiers in the distance and stopped.

"What?" Senna seemed to feel his heart stopped for half a beat, and he couldn't believe his ears.

"Don't think too much, I just want to hear your thoughts." Jason smiled lightly.

Hearing his words, Senna calmed down, because he felt that Jason couldn't ask him this question for no reason. This might be an opportunity for him, as well as an opportunity for the Ambrose family.

The only question is whether his answer can be recognized by Jason. In other words, whether his thoughts can coincide with Jason's.

Thinking of this, Viscount Senna took a deep breath, glanced at the luxury decorations and boxes of coins that were constantly being carried out of Bron Castle, and made a decision in his heart.

"If you want to eradicate the status quo in the province of Yero, you have to start with the nobles who occupy the lifeline of the economy. Bron has been operating here for decades, and he only cooperates with them instead of depriving them of their rights and interests, so I say , your current war in Yero province can still be regarded as just beginning."

"Bron didn't act on their interests, not because he didn't dare, but because he felt that he could get the money that these nobles gave him for free without bothering to manage it, so there was no need for it."

Just as Senna finished speaking, he was refuted by another somewhat indifferent voice.

"Chris, I have met Your Highness." It turned out that this person was Chris who brought Braum to the pit with his own hands.

"It's you?!"

After seeing him, Viscount Senna's face changed. How could he not recognize the man who advised Bron, because the nobles who had opposed Bron had more or less suffered from him.

"Hi, Viscount Senna." Chris greeted him with a smile.

"You planned this all?"

Senna vaguely guessed something after seeing him appearing here with Jason, so he asked with some doubts.

Chris didn't answer, just smiled slightly, acquiesced to his question, then stood in front of Jason and bowed his head.

"My lord, it's a good luck not to disgrace my life."

Chris is a member of the Black Crow. He once took the initiative to contact the Black Crow and became a member of the Black Crow through Hassan, because he wanted to use Jason to get rid of Bron, the enemy.

"Thanks a lot."

After Jason finished speaking, he looked at him carefully for a while. This man is a ruthless character. In order to get revenge, he has been lurking by Braum's side for more than ten years.

Seeing Jason's appearance, Senna hesitated to speak. He wanted to ask his own questions and reminded Jason to be careful of this betrayer, but after seeing the relationship between the two, he didn't know how to speak.

So his expression looks tangled.
