Tome of Blood

"It is very necessary to clear the undead. Considering the difficulty of clearing, I suggest hiring the Chi Yang Mage. In order to save costs, you can promise the other party a forest that can continue to collect monster materials."

"Don't worry about clearing up the undead, we have a professional team."

"That's how it is. I forgot that you have a very good relationship with the church... Then there is no problem with this. In addition, there is road construction. I agree with the proposal of road construction, but I am a little puzzled, that is, why do you want to directly repair the road? Although the border of the Principality of Romania is convenient for trade, it is somewhat dangerous..."

"This is related to the trade of Betel Territory, and it is also related to Castel's next plan. As for the security issue, Betel is easy to defend and difficult to attack, just strengthen the fortress."

"I understand. Regarding the issue of sustainable management of the forest, I know a few elf druids who have a good relationship..."

"That would be great, Your Excellency the Baron, may you introduce me?"

"Of course, I am happy to help you."

"You don't have to worry about the funds, I just pay Castel."

"It couldn't be better. Relying on Betel himself, there must be no way to raise enough funds..."

...

Baron Betel and Charlotte chatted more and more happily, and the chat became more and more detailed. Later, Charlotte even called the maid Shirley over. Make changes on the volume.

Unknowingly, time passed in the discussion, and when Baron Betel and Charlotte finished sorting out the development plan of the barony together, it was already dark.

Charlotte picked up the parchment, read it again, and was very satisfied.

She looked at Baron Bettel and said with a smile:

"Sure enough, this kind of plan still needs to be improved by the person concerned to make it more feasible. Your Excellency the Baron, thank you for your support."

Baron Betel waved his hand quickly:

"My lord, you are being polite. This is all for Baron Bettel. Compared to that, I should thank you more."

Having said that, Baron Bettel hesitated for a moment, and his expression was a little doubtful:

"However, I have a little question. Why do you pay so much attention to Bettel? Although the Bettel collar is in a special position, it is a small barony after all. You have spent so much energy designing a special A development plan..."

After hearing Baron Bettel's words, Charlotte smiled and said:

"The key lies in the special situation of Betel Territory. This is an important trade route, but it has declined for many years due to historical reasons. It is very suitable as a pilot for revitalization and development..."

Baron Betel moved in his heart:

"Pilot? You mean... Betel Territory is just an attempt. If it goes well here, you plan to apply a similar planning model to other parts of the territory?"

Charlotte nodded slightly:

"That's right, the boat is small and easy to turn around. Because of its location and resources, the Barony of Bettel is, in my opinion, the most suitable highlight for promotion, and it is also easy to make achievements."

Then, she sighed again:

"Although Castel has a good background, I have also discovered many problems since I became the lord for more than a year, such as food production, urban construction, public security management, education, military supplies, the gap between the rich and the poor... etc., all of which actually exist. The problem is that the nobles are independent, the power of the territory is broken, and the lord has limited influence on the entire territory besides the direct-controlled territory."

"It's just that the Castel family has a big business, and enjoys the development of trade by virtue of its superior geographical location. The prosperous business has temporarily covered up some problems."

"I hope that the future development of the entire territory has a long-term plan, but it is too difficult for the current aristocratic system to formulate a development plan for the entire earldom and to implement the plan to each vassal's territory , it is not realistic to rely entirely on the funds of the Castel family."

"Castel is not a centralized earldom. If you want the nobles to support the development plan and pay for the development plan, you must let them see the benefits..."

After hearing what Charlotte said, Baron Bettel suddenly realized:

"So that's it. I understand what you mean. You want to use the Barony of Bethel as a breakthrough to formulate a long-term development plan for the entire territory, and you want to get the recognition, cooperation and implementation of the nobles."

"Think about it carefully, this is not impossible. As long as the plan can bring enough benefits to the nobles, as long as the interests of the nobles are bound together with the development of Castel, they will most likely support... "

In the middle of speaking, Baron Betel stopped suddenly.

Because he suddenly realized a problem.

If the Castel family's long-term plan can be recognized by the nobles in the entire territory, if this long-term plan can be truly implemented and implemented seriously, wouldn't it mean that the Castel family has the ability to control the entire territory , will also increase steadily?

This is inevitable, because the implementation of such a comprehensive plan must be accompanied by refined management of the entire territory.

Perhaps in the beginning Castel needed the nobles to implement the plan and obtain the approval of the nobles, but as time went on and the smooth implementation of the plan, Castel's influence over the entire territory would inevitably increase.

And when the nobles adapt to this development model led by Castel, it is entirely possible that Castel will replace it, replace the role played by the nobles step by step, and reshape the entire territory around this planning model The management model, even... completely empty the nobles!

It's not impossible, or in other words, it's possible if Castel wants to work in this direction.

Moreover, as long as the operation is done properly, as long as the nobles enjoy the benefits brought by the development plan led by Castel, they are likely to jump into this sweet "trap" without knowing it...

There are not many far-sighted nobles, and most of them are short-sighted. Baron Bettel is very sure of this.

Thinking about this, Baron Betel has already thought of the far-reaching meaning behind this plan...

This is not only a plan for the development of Castel, but also for the centralization of the Castel family in the future!

Of course, in order to achieve Castel's goal, the Castel family must have a lord with high enough prestige to convince the nobles, and a long enough ruling time.

Is there such a lord in Castel?

Of course there is.

In the eyes of Baron Betel, the girl in front of him is.

A wise, powerful, and young lord fit the bill perfectly.

The only shortcoming is probably the problem of heirs, but the other party is so young and the future is full of variables. Baron Betel doesn't think this is a big problem, even if... the other party once made a celibacy declaration in front of the statue.

Thinking of this, Baron Bettel's expression on Charlotte changed completely.

Facing the baron's complex gaze, Charlotte smiled:

"Your Excellency, Baron Betel, I wonder if you would like to assist me in completing this first step in Baron Betel?"
