The Barrage Said, I Am the Final Villain In the Game

  Chapter 293 The Duke

   For a moment, Lynn felt that this might be something similar to the "Marriage Application". After all, although the other party's words looked around, they always seemed to imply something.

   But it's not.

   This is a canonization document, signed by the new queen herself. The main content of it is probably because of the confirmed death of "Earl Blazer". This noble title will be passed on to Lynn in accordance with the regulations.

  Lin En frowned slightly: "My father, is he dead?"

   "I don't know." Irene shook her head and said, "But they've been missing for so long, and it's really inappropriate to still trip you up."

   "So, without knowing his specific whereabouts, you can only inherit this title if you judge his death in writing. As for whether he is really dead or not, maybe only he himself knows."

   "." Lin En raised the document in his hand, and then asked in doubt, "So, whether I sign this or not has nothing to do with your deal with her."

   "Of course."

  Irene said coldly: "Because I want you to stand in her camp without becoming a prince, and help her organize this slightly dilapidated country after the war."

   "?" Lynn still didn't understand, "Why am I here?"

  If he just wants to repair the country, he feels that Irene is capable of doing it herself.

   But why, let him come?

   Regarding this, Irene smiled lightly: "I know why you are confused, because you don't understand Karan or our family at all."

   "Do you think that I launched a coup, pulled down the old king, and installed a new king in order to take away the throne of this country in the future by means of successors?"

Irene smiled and shook her head: "Indeed, for a nobleman, standing at the pinnacle of power is their desired goal, but our first ancestors were not nobles, but an ordinary, united family, combining surnames with nobles. To pass on forever is the tradition we must uphold.”

"If I need to control the affairs of the kingdom, then we will inevitably stand on the high point of this land. However, the tree attracts the wind. Although I am confident that this tree will not fall, I cannot ensure that my descendants , Karan’s descendants can still persevere.”

   "So, if you want Karan to stay on this land forever, apart from expanding the territory, burying the roots deep is the most important thing to do."

"If Karan is to become the king of this country, then in the future, whether it is war or others, it may affect our living environment, but if we just stay at a high point rather than a support point, we will Can swing with the wind.”

   "So, it is impossible for me to stand at the forefront of the stage." She looked up at Lynn, "That person can only be you."

Lin En suddenly narrowed his eyes: "The reason why it is me is because while you are taking root, you also want to stretch out your tentacles, and if you want to stretch out, you need a richer soil, but You always hope that you are only at a tipping point, and if you want to improve it, you must expand the soil."

   "So, you want Rhine to be better and stronger—you think only I can do it here."

   "Is that what you mean?"

   "That's right." Erin said honestly, "I really think so."

   "After taking over the earl, you have a ticket to participate in the struggle. At this time, as long as we make troubles, some old-fashioned and 'traditional' people will naturally oppose us."

   "And at this time, you can appear."

  "Blazer's reputation is not very good, but there is one thing that everyone recognizes—he is an absolute royalist, and he is only loyal to the royal family."

   "No matter how much people insult him, this is an undeniable fact."

   "For our 'inner ghosts' who are trying to usurp the throne, I think, when they have no other choice, they can only choose you—who let most people die when I purged them."

When talking about this, Irene suddenly laughed: "Speaking of which, this war came really well. Some people who had been aware of our intentions earlier were controlled by us, saying that they also wanted to rebel, and then they took advantage of the situation to clean up Lost."

  “.”

  Lynn looked at the document and ignored Irene's murmurs.

   After a while, he suddenly raised his head and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will deal with you in the future?"

   "Huh?" Irene frowned slightly, "Would you do that?"

"meeting."

   Lynn's voice is very soft, but very decisive.

"If I stand in that position, it means that I will be tied to the interests of this country, and what it loses or gains will affect me, so in order to expand what I have and understand what is bothering me, your tentacles , will definitely stop in front of me."

   "At that time, I think, I should not show mercy."

   "Oh?" Irene narrowed her eyes slightly, with a cold light flickering in her eyes, "I thought you would feel sorry for me, after all, I have done so much for you."

   "So before that, I have to be subject to you, but the favor will always be paid off."

  “.”

  The atmosphere of silence lasted for a long time, and the girl suddenly sighed: "It's really heartless."

   "This is not a matter of good conscience." Lynn said, "This is something that will inevitably appear as the position and perspective change."

   "Really." Irene glanced at him lightly, and said softly, "Since it is inevitable, I won't bother to avoid it."

   "When that day comes, let's compare whose wrist is stronger."

   "But not until then."

  She stretched out her index finger and gently lifted Lynn's chin.

   "I think, I need an heir."

  Spring goes and autumn comes, summer goes and cold comes.

   Soon, the Christmas of the Gods is coming.

  In order to celebrate these festivals, Her Majesty the Queen, who has been in office for some time, decided to hold a palace banquet.

  The nobles were quite interested in this, but they were a little nervous.

  Because the man who has left his **** handprints in various departments of the kingdom in the past few years will also come to the banquet.

   "Pa-ta-"

  The young but increasingly mature Duke Blazer got off the carriage. When the nobles outside the palace saw him, there was fear and respect in their eyes.

   When the Queen announced that Lynn Blazer would inherit the title of Earl Blazer, opposition came like a tide.

  No one wants Blazer to return, so that everyone will always exist under the inexplicable shadow, and even some nobles are threatening to die, hoping that His Majesty will take back his order.

   But, it didn't work.

   Not only is it useless, but the queen has abandoned the previous consistent placement of Blazer and appointed him to be the secretary of the Minister of Financial Management of a city.

  This position does not seem very high. After all, it is just a secretary without real power. If it is placed in a marginal area, it may not even be able to get money. However, the city where he is stationed is called Catalina.

  This time, the voice of opposition was even more raging. Everyone generally believed that she was probably crazy about the Queen's appointment this time.

  Let an executioner manage money, can he manage it well?

   Facts have proved that he is really good.

In the early days of Lynn's tenure, he did not make any noise, as if he had been hidden since then, making many people forget that this person existed, and they also opposed it together. However, after a period of time, he told Catalina The Chancellor of the Exchequer made a proposal.

  He demanded the introduction of the power to prohibit businessmen from issuing loans, and to create a bank solely controlled by the royal family. From then on, whether it is a businessman or an ordinary person, if they want to obtain a mortgage, they can only go through official channels.

   This is a good thing for ordinary people, because everyone knows that businessmen are black, but they don’t know the bottom line, but businessmen are not happy.

  Lending money is much more profitable than buying things. Selling 10,000 pieces of clothing may not be as good as making a loan once, and even many nobles have participated in it.

  This proposal is undoubtedly cutting their flesh, even taking away their bones.

  When the news came out, it was impossible for the merchants to agree and unite to resist this policy. However, it passed the queen's ruling without any resistance, and it was implemented.

   At this time, the businessmen still wanted to resist, and even asked their own people to strike collectively in protest, naively thinking that the collapse of the economy could make this stupid policy withdrawn.

   But unfortunately, none of their goals were achieved.

  Not everyone does not accept this regulation, and if the things under their hands quit, they will naturally be replaced by obedient people.

  People who only have money but no knife are not qualified to negotiate terms.

  After a bloodbath, Catalina has a new order, newly rising merchants, and nobles with new titles, and a lot of money has piled up in the royal treasury.

  These benefits are enough to satisfy most people.

Because of this feat that made Catalina flourish, and most newcomers knew how they were promoted, the Earl of Blaze naturally changed the stool under his **** after this turmoil, and moved in. The cabinet successfully squeezed out the secretary of the Rhein Chancellor of the Exchequer and took over.

In the cabinet, he put forward a number of proposals based on the various conditions of the Rhineland, and tried them with great "imagination". In just a few years, the economic situation of the Rhineland went from the post-war downturn For the better, even inflation has been reduced a lot, and the whole country is thriving.

   At this time, he changed positions again.

   Originally, people thought that according to this development, he would probably kick the Chancellor of the Exchequer from his position and sit on it this time.

but no.

At the behest of the Queen, he created a department called the "Propaganda Department"—before that, he had already used his very good suppression methods to suppress all the public opinion in the Rhineland from the dual suppression of economy and power. , The newspaper office is in my own hands.

  From then on, if Rhinelanders want to read newspapers, they can only go through the Rheinland Evening Zeitung. Other newspapers are considered to be illegal and non-compliant, and they will enter if they dare to publish.

   After he succeeded, no matter which section the Rhine newspapers were on, they would publish something about the royal family.

  The official newspaper reported that the Queen had censored a certain place, and people benefited; the Entertainment Evening News published some anecdotes within the royal family, letting people know that the royal family can be less majestic or even cute.

   Besides this, there is always a kind of message vaguely conveyed in the newspaper.

  Newspapers always replace Rhine with "we".

  Unbeknownst to people themselves, their identity and national identity have further increased. Although they began to gradually show signs of xenophobia, they are more united internally.

   Time passed and a long time passed, when people thought that Lynn would no longer be promoted because of his lack of merit.

  He sat directly on the prime minister's seat.

   At this time, people are too lazy to object, anyway, it is useless to object, and I will be unlucky, so I can only accept it honestly and see what he wants to do.

   Surprisingly, this time, he did not start from what he was familiar with, but turned the army into politics.

  Increase military spending, improve soldiers' welfare, and vigorously increase investment in the research of magic props that shine on the battlefield. For a time, the surrounding regional forces are surging, and everyone thinks that Rhine is about to show his fangs.

   But no.

  Because the last war left a deep impression on people, the disaster almost appeared in front of their eyes. No one wanted that scene to be repeated again, so the opposition came again.

   This time, the Prime Minister seems to have followed everyone's advice and did not launch a war. However, the investment in military expenditures is still increasing year by year, making the surrounding forces always restless, and he has to increase his own investment.

  In short, under the leadership of the prime minister, although Rhine is gradually growing, it has gradually become a big devil in the eyes of other places. Even the reputation of the Rhine in other places has been faintly affected.

   As the instigator of all this, how can Lynn himself, whose title has been elevated to Duke, not be feared by others?

  Of course, in addition to fear, as attention increased, people's attention gradually shifted from his official affairs to his private affairs.

  In the Rhineland, people get married very early, and generally have a marriage contract before they reach adulthood, and after they reach adulthood, it is almost time to get married, maybe even earlier.

  But this Mr. Duke, as if he didn't mean it, is still single.

   Some people who are not afraid of death secretly teased him whether he likes the same sex, and then his family was exiled to the northern tundra.

   But even if there are precedents here, people still want to explore the orientation of the Duke.

  At this moment, they discovered that the Duke seemed to be not so honest.

It is said that he has an inseparable relationship with Miss Christine, who has lost everything and has been demoted to a viscount. Shallow friendship.

  In addition to the nobles, he also seems to have some relationship with the youngest daughter of a merchant family whose position has become more stable.

  Of course the most outrageous of the rumors is that he might have such an affair with the Queen.

   All of the above are things that people spontaneously speculate from the minutiae. The authenticity is unknown, but most people are willing to believe except for the last one.

  For example, I am currently serving as an attendant who receives the duke's coat.

   "Sir, Miss Christine has ordered you to find her in the side hall after you come."

"Okay, I get it now."

  Lin En was about to take a step, but heard the attendant say: "In addition, Miss Karan also ordered me to tell you that you must go to the lounge of the ball to meet her as soon as possible after you arrive."

"ah?"

  At this moment, a guard in silver armor suddenly came by.

   "My lord, Your Majesty is looking for you."
