Rise In Calradia

　　 "It seems that the king didn't want to talk to us, and he threw a son at us."

　　 Byron finished reading the contents of the letter and said jokingly, even though the heroes next to him all looked at him with a bewildered expression.

　　 "What did you say, sir?"

　　Fatis, who had just returned from Dehrim's mission, looked at Byron suspiciously, thinking that Byron had invented something new or new vocabulary when he was away.

"Nothing, don't care. King Harous gave us the authority to manage the city, as well as the tax revenues and enfeoffment rights of all villages outside Veluga, which is much better than when we were in Serendil. But I really didn't. Thinking that he would let his only heir come here to guard the city, how should we respond?"

　　 Byron asked the heroes.

"Viruga is a piece of fat. Since you give it to the king, King Haraus will naturally bite it. Now the nobles of the entire kingdom know that you have occupied Veluga and that the city is actually controlled. In your hands, we are relatively easier to deal with than the king, and will naturally become their target. While the prince can exercise and expand his power here, increase his influence, and completely control the entire Viruga."

　　 I have to say that although I did not see Byron's fear of him for a while because of his joy, Elaine did better than Byron's understanding of Game of Thrones, and he analyzed the king's intentions in a few words. Although not very detailed, it is enough for Byron.

"Fatis, you know the most about the kingdom's nobles among us. Tell us about the Prince Harau that we are about to face. If you can, talk about King Haraus and his family. It’s no harm to us to know more."

　　Byron agreed with Elaine's opinion very much, and turned his head to Fatis, hoping to get some information about the little prince from him.

　　 "Extremely happy, sir."

　　Fatis nodded respectfully at Byron and cleared his throat.

"King Harous’s first lady was married before he became a king. This lady gave birth to two daughters for him. The eldest daughter married a general of the ancestor when the ancestor passed away. The power entered Paravin and seized the throne. The youngest daughter was married to the eldest brother of Earl Harengos, who was the most powerful lord in the western part of the kingdom at the time and happened to be widowed. The lord was married. He passed away in two years at the age of sixty, but in these two years he did help King Harous a lot. When the king’s first queen died due to a dystocia, he was also the matchmaker for the king and Kleis. The widow sister of the earl married and won the support of the entire family of the earl of Sweden. Prince Harau is the only heir born by the queen and the heir appointed by King Haraus."

　　Fatis is very knowledgeable about the situation of various families in the country, and he said so well that Byron once again "sniffed" King Harous, because he knew that the youngest daughter was only sixteen when he married the old earl.

　　 "Political marriage is like that, it's not a big deal."

Elaine saw Byron's expression when he heard the age of the two parties in the marriage, and shrugged somewhat indifferently, while Desaivi and Kress made no secret of their disdain and nausea after he finished speaking. .

　　 "Forget it, it's been so long, this matter has nothing to do with us. Fattis, the little prince I met before, looks very young, how about others?"

　　 Byron's complexion returned to normal, and he asked Fatis.

　　 "You are right, sir. Prince Harau is only sixteen years old this year. Even for us, he is just a child. As for his reputation, I have to say that he really looks like his father..."

　　 After some conversation, they had some knowledge of the upcoming prince. As the designated heir of King Harrods, he was raised as a king since he was a child. There was no problem at all, but the object of this child's learning to imitate was always his father...so it is inevitable that there are some characteristics of his father in him. Although young but arrogant, and also very ambitious, and because he was born with a golden spoon, he was less aware of his own strength than his father.

　　Perhaps this is also the reason why King Haraus asked him to come to Veluga. This is an experience for him, learning how to manage the city, how to coordinate the relationship with the nobles and the commoners. Since it is a newly occupied city, you can play freely. If something goes wrong, just push Byron's head down. If the situation is good, the area controlled by Byron can also be transferred to the hands of the royal family.

　　 And the arrival of the prince will definitely be accompanied by the confidant of King Haraus and a sufficient amount of army. The advantage for Byron is that it strengthens the defensive force of Veluga and can deter the Rhodoks in the south. But the problem is that they will definitely have a great influence on Byron's plan to control Veluga, and the Rhodok army is really coming to the south, and this group of people will probably run away as soon as possible for the safety of the prince.

　　 So about how to deal with the prince, everyone sat here and talked all day without any conclusion.

However, Byron still thought of a suitable way, that is, to use the rights given to him by the king to firmly control the villages and towns around Veluga in his own hands. King Haraus has not yet existed in the south of Argol Lombok. The officially divided areas are also included in their sphere of influence. With the manpower, food, forest farms, and mining lands in these areas, Byron has enough financial resources to feed more troops and expand its strength as quickly as possible. In this world, such a newly emerging little nobleman, who wants to be on an equal footing with those old lords, can only rely on military power.

When all these areas are controlled, the royal army and princes stationed in the city can only rely on Byron~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Otherwise, Byron can just find some excuses to let those who should be sent to the city If the goods are delayed or even unable to arrive, Veluga will have problems immediately, and the last person who pays the bill must be His Royal Highness.

　　 As for the city, Byron also made a trick. He visited those families and wealthy businessmen who had adopted a neutral attitude during the civil riots, and promised them generous tax terms, coupled with huge orders for the purchase of equipment and necessities for the recruits, in exchange for their support, such as providing him with soldiers and Intelligence, and allegiance to the rural areas under their control.

　　 The tax rate set by Byron is twice as low as the previous one. The tariff reduction seems to have not been the same. The worship of farmers outside the city should also be exempted. The reputation is recuperating. This led the clerk to find that after the calculation, the city’s monthly income was less than three digits when calculated as dinars!

　　 This is not Byron showing kindness, but using this to buy people's hearts. The scope of application is also limited to the city of Veluga and the suburbs outside the city. This purpose is so obvious. When the prince arrives, if he wants to increase the city's income, he can only cancel these preferential policies and annoy the merchants and nobles in the city. Byron had already waved his hand to the prince at this time, and naturally couldn't blame him. In fact, if the prince restores his previous taxes, these people in the city will still miss Byron, which is very beneficial to Byron.

　　 It is naturally not a good idea to fight against the royal family, but a little bit of means can not only strengthen his strength in this land, but also in the current form of the kingdom, there will be no big trouble. Why not?
