Traveling to another world, inheriting a mess at the beginning

When Aarons and Xia Ye rushed to the hotel where the prince was staying, he was stopped by someone unexpected.

"Oh, you are the new Marquis, right? I'm sorry, my name is Zexiu, and I used to be an ordinary trader."

Before Aarons rushed into the hotel, a fat old man took the initiative to greet him and stopped him outside the barrier.

"I heard that the new Marquis was extraordinary before, and today I found that he is indeed a handsome man."

"You really embarrassed me, Lord Zexiu."

Being stopped by this old man who kept stroking his beard with his hands and had a smile on his face, Aarons was so angry that even the corners of his mouth were crooked.

The Minister of Commerce just opened his mouth and boasted! It's okay to boast, but you let me go in first! There are still dozens of reporters outside filming the hotel!

"What is the matter with the Marquis? The Third Prince has been very tired these days and is resting now. You can talk to me first if you have anything to say."

"...Can we go in first?"

Aarons always felt that the look in this fat old man's eyes was a little strange - there was not much calculation that a businessman should have, but it was like the old man next door looking at the younger generation... kind and doting?

No, this must be a trap!

"Hey, Marquis, haven't you sent someone to negotiate in Marvell City? You don't have to ask our opinions, just do whatever you want."

Wait a minute, I haven't even started asking and you're answering! ?

"Come on, dear journalist friends, the Marquis Aarons you are looking for is right here! The Marquis said he can answer a few of your questions!"

"..."

Although Aarons did want to hit someone, the old man in front of him was a serious imperial minister of commerce, and his actual status was half a level higher than that of a marquis with a fiefdom.

Xia Ye, who was following him, also gave him a blank look, asking him to cooperate and see what was going on.

"...Okay!"

Just as Aarons said his agreement in despair, he was immediately surrounded by reporters who had been waiting around.

"Lord Marquis! What do you think of the current situation in Marvel City?"

"Lord Marquis! How do you plan to deal with those mercenaries?"

"Lord Marquis! Have you signed a secret agreement with His Royal Highness the Third Prince?"

What are your questions! I don't even know what's going on! And the last person, you might as well just ask me if I'm behind it!

Feeling that he was set up, Aarons' mind turned quickly, and he quickly summed up a response plan from his past life experience.

——Didn't this old man want me to take the blame? Then I'll say something that will embarrass you!

"Ahem...please be patient, and let me answer your questions slowly."

Now he is basically sure that the emperor must want to use his identity to trigger changes in the situation. If he doesn't want to be the first to come out, he has to find a way to push the pot back.

Fortunately, Xia Ye had just rehearsed such a question-and-answer scenario with him before.

"First of all, the situation in Marvell City is just a test for you from the Empire."

"Test?"

"Yes, it would be too simple to just let everyone go directly to each city to win over the citizens. I am also a player who signed up for the war. If I go directly to everyone and ask them to support the Marquis of Moti's family, what do you think the result will be?"

... In fact, this will not be of any use. After all, the eldest young master himself is a household name.

"So... so? You mean, this is a test deliberately arranged for the contestants?"

"If you must say, this is just an example of a test, so I, a local noble, have to show you how to deal with similar situations in the future!"

"So the Marquis is responsible for teaching! That's amazing!"

After saying this, Aarons secretly glanced at the fat old man Ze Xiu beside him. But when he saw that the old man was still smiling, he decided to add a little more explosive material.

"Yes, I will demonstrate how to pass this test in the most efficient way. But after this, the empire will still set up various types of tests for you. At that time, please let my competitors use their talents and strength to solve the problem!"

-This is obviously a blatant rebellion, but Aarons deliberately said it was a test set by the empire.

Aren't you, the emperor and the supervisory group, not going to take care of this matter? If such a big thing happens again in the future, the honorary nobles will turn around and scold you.

And nowNo matter what Cardia or the empire's spies do in this territory, the honorary nobles will treat it as a test and solve it with all their strength.

This is to divert the trouble to the east and kill two birds with one stone - Aarons immediately shifted the outside world's attention to the supervision team.

"Well said, well said! You are worthy of being the only honorary marquis in the empire. If the marquis had not signed up for the competition, I would have wanted to ask His Majesty to ask the marquis to be an extra-staff supervisor!"

... This old man actually took the opportunity to bring up the subsequent arrangements?

"Lord Zexiu, do you mean that if the marquis withdraws from the competition later, he will also become a member of the supervision team?"

"Oh, that depends on the marquis's own wishes."

... There are actually shills among this group of reporters!

I was careless... Aarons never expected that this fat old man would not only use this opportunity to pave the way for the future, but also quietly throw the attention back to himself.

This minister is indeed a big shot in the business world, and his experience in dealing with things is completely incomparable to that of a weakling like me who has only failed twice in life.

"Mr. Marquis, can you please tell me how you plan to deal with the mercenaries hired by Marvell City?"

"Ah, this... the specific plan needs to be kept secret! But I assure you that I will use the most efficient and unexpected way!"

What should we do specifically? Let the three princes figure it out for themselves!

"Okay, Mr. Marquis has some private matters to discuss with His Highness, so we will go in first. But please rest assured, although Mr. Marquis is a participant in the war, he will definitely not take the opportunity to do anything behind the scenes."

... You still want to mention it deliberately, right!

This fat old man is really hard to deal with - Aarons turned his head and looked at the Aries beauty next to him, and found that the other party just shook her head slightly.

It seems that I have to change my strategy.

"The Marquis was so passionate and generous just now that I even mistakenly thought it was Marquis Moti himself who was giving the speech."

"My father and I are totally incomparable. Lord Zexiu said too much."

After leaving Xia Ye alone outside and following the Minister of Commerce into the hotel, Aarons felt a little relieved.

If he was asked by the reporters again, he might reveal some secrets that he shouldn't.

"But the Marquis actually said that he would solve Marvell's problem in an unexpected way just now, which really shocked me."

Yes, he said it just to make things difficult for you. If you have any ideas, use them and show them to everyone?

"...I really didn't expect that the Marquis had already predicted what would happen later. In that case, how about asking the Marquis to come here early tomorrow and watch a good show with us?"

...What? You are even prepared for this?
