Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

Fall in love with youkanshu.com, Your Majesty, the spectacle is ruining the country!

After receiving Bruno's order, Krell left in a hurry.

As Bruno's confidant and the director of the Idar CIA, Krell clearly knows what weight the Church of Light holds in the heart of the Duke.

Compared to other forces, the CIA has actually put the most effort into the Church of Light.

But the results achieved were minimal.

Because...the things hidden by the Church of Light are really too deep.

Even clergy at the episcopal level may not know exactly what the church wants.

Whether it is Mike, who once served as a cardinal, or Will Roach, the former leader of the Crusaders who has now taken refuge in the Principality of Idar, even core forces like them who have been trained by the church have little understanding of many things.

Although Idar agents have been trying to use money offensives to corrupt the clergy on the periphery of the church, in the end, the useful information obtained from them was still pitiful.

Moreover, the accuracy of many of the information is open to question, making it difficult to conduct cross-references. On the contrary, it has added a lot of work tasks to the intelligence personnel of the Idar CIA out of thin air.

so……

Regardless of how awesome the Idar CIA sounds today, Krell knows very well that this is not enough! !

At least... there is still a big gap between the requirements of the Duke!

The establishment time is too short, there are too few people available, and the scope of coverage is limited...

The above,

These are all issues that the Idar CIA has put on the table.

Due to the shortage of manpower, most of the intelligence personnel of the Idar CIA are now distributed around the Principality of Idar.

A little further away is the central part of the empire, with important cities like the imperial capital St. Lawrence.

As for places like the western part of the empire that are far away from the Principality of Idar...

It's not that the Idar CIA doesn't want to deploy manpower, it's really because it's unable to do so.

It is precisely for this reason that when the Graf family came to this land in the eastern part of the empire and took the initiative to make the decision to join the Principality of Idar, Old Ford paid special attention to this.

If the Idar CIA can successfully integrate the Graf family's intelligence network all over the empire, then the "business" capabilities of the Idar CIA will undoubtedly improve a lot!

so……

Not long after Creel left, Old Ford walked into Bruno's study wearing a thick coat.

"It must have been Claire who urged you to come here..."

Bruno took a sip of the steaming coffee and said with a smile.

Seeing this, Old Ford did not hide it, but nodded very seriously:

"Filona and her brother have been living in Idar City for a long time. As for...the CIA, Krell has also had people check it several times. They should really want to join us. Now that you are back, Lord Duke, …Then it’s better to give an answer as soon as possible.”

If it were an ordinary aristocratic immigrant, Bruno would not need personal instructions at all.

But the problem is...

The Graf family is not an ordinary noble!

Although the Graf family, who holds the title of Marquis of Soto, is not the most powerful family among the many nobles in the central part of the empire,... the intelligence network owned by the Graf family can just make up for Idar. The CIA has shortcomings and shortcomings in many aspects.

Therefore, this also makes the seemingly weak Fiona siblings have the qualifications to negotiate with Bruno to fight for more rights for themselves.

Before that, due to Bruno's temporary absence from Idar City, the Ferona siblings had been delayed for a long time, but now that Bruno has returned to the Principality of Idar, naturally they cannot continue to be delayed.

Although according to Bruno's idea, the manpower of the Idar CIA is naturally better trained in person, but... the increasingly frequent actions of the Light Church have forced Bruno to make arrangements as soon as possible.

Incorporating the intelligence network run by the Graf family for generations was also a decision made by Bruno out of vigilance against the Church of Light.

To know,

If the Church of Light goes against the grain,

Then it will definitely be a much more terrifying opponent than any force on this continent.

after all……

Not only are there countless secrets hidden behind the church, but it also has a large number of believers.

Granted, the Crusaders may not seem large in number.

However, relying on the power possessed by the Light Church, once the church is determined to intervene in secular power, it can raise an extremely large army in a very short period of time.

Today, after all, the influence of Protestantism is mainly distributed in the eastern part of the empire, and the indulgences sold by the church did not trigger a large-scale backlash in a short period of time.

Even though the development situation of Protestantism is excellent, it still cannot shake the foundation of believers accumulated by the church for hundreds of years.

And once the church really makes up its mind to intervene in the disputes in the secular world, the Stuart family, as the guardians of the Protestant faith, will inevitably become a thorn in the side and flesh of the Church of Light.

because……

The ideological conflict between the church and Protestantism is definitely the most direct and inevitable!

"I have already read the conditions proposed by the Graf family..."

Bruno paused, thought for a moment, and then continued: "In fact, in many aspects, it can be discussed...but some requirements must be changed."

"So what do you mean..." Old Ford probed cautiously.

Bruno looked at the sky outside the window, touched his slightly flat belly, and said, "Eat first, and talk while eating!"

People are like iron, food is like steel, you won’t be hungry after a meal.

Although the affairs of the Graff family are really important, when discussing things, you always have to fill your stomach first before you have the strength to think.

The cook in charge of Bruno's diet has already mastered many cooking methods under Bruno's careful training. The dishes she made are very consistent with Bruno's taste, and finally let Bruno get away from breaded steaks and French fries. sea ​​of ​​suffering.

By the time Bruno and Old Ford walked into the restaurant together, the steaming stove had already been placed on the table.

hot pot!

In Bruno's mind, the cold winter and the steaming hot pot are an excellent match.

Imagine it is a cold winter day outside, and there is a steaming hot pot in the room. After eating, your whole body will be warm. If you add the spicy pot bottom, it will be especially comfortable!

Hot pot, of course, involves boiling meat and vegetables.

Therefore, there are all kinds of vegetables and meats on the table, including baby cabbage, chrysanthemum, bitter chrysanthemum and other vegetables. There is even a beautifully arranged fruit platter.

If it were any other place on this continent, even a noble would not be able to see these extremely fresh green vegetables on the winter table.

But in the Principality of Idar, vegetable greenhouses are no longer such a rare thing.

Not to mention elsewhere, on the hillside outside Idar City alone, there are many vegetable greenhouses that have just been built in recent years, one after another, and they are all full of vegetables that are growing vigorously.

Therefore, at the beginning, everyone would be amazed, but now, most of them have become accustomed to it.

Isn’t it just green leafy vegetables?

The Idar people are not those ignorant country bumpkins from the interior of the empire!

As for the meat, the lord's kitchen selects the best parts of cattle and sheep, and then the fat cook with superb knife skills cooks it herself.

Although it is not cut into slices as thin as cicada wings, the thickness is even and the lines on it are clearly visible.

By the time Bruno sat down, the fat cook had already lit the fire underneath, and the soup in the hot pot was already boiling.

The bottom of the pot was spicy, with a lot of chili peppers floating on it. It looked so red that Bruno couldn't help but twitch his fingers.

"Sit down quickly..."

Bruno waved his hand towards Old Ford, indicating that he did not need to be restrained.

For Old Ford, although he has always been trusted by his Duke, he has never had a few meals together, let alone boiling food from the same pot with the Duke, so he is a little nervous.

"These red things..."

Although Old Ford had already tried hot pot, a cooking method originally invented by his Duke, and was full of praise for it, he couldn't help but hesitate when he looked at the chili peppers floating on the bottom of the pot.

But this cannot be blamed on Old Ford, because after all, the cultivation of peppers has just started this year, and it is still quite unfamiliar to many people. This is also the first time Bruno has used it to entertain guests.

"This is chili pepper. It may feel extra spicy and irritating when you eat it for the first time, but it can remove dampness and dispel cold. Eating a small amount in moderation has great benefits for the body."

Seeing this, Bruno introduced enthusiastically.

Chili is a good thing!

On weekdays, Bruno's favorite is chili.

But before that, because there were not enough Brilliance Points in his pocket, he had to make careful calculations and did not dare to buy pepper seeds for planting in the system mall. Therefore, it was only at this time that the first batch of peppers led by Idar was produced. .

"Can it also remove dampness and cold?"

Hearing this, Old Ford was immediately moved.

After all, he is getting older, and various diseases will inevitably appear on his body as he grows older. Therefore, he naturally has a lot of interest in the chili peppers that his Lord Duke highly respects.

After Bruno picked up a piece of hot beef and put it into his mouth, Old Ford picked up the beef and put it into his mouth.

You must know that even the powerful old Ford does not eat beef often, because after all, it is livestock that is required for farming. There are clear limits on the number of slaughters given by the Department of Agriculture every year.

At the moment of entrance,

In addition to the tenderness of the beef itself, the excitement brought by the spicy taste also burst out in Old Ford's mouth.

In almost just a moment, old Ford's face glowed with a faint red light.

"Huhu..."

He couldn't help but take a few sips of the cold water beside him and said, "This taste... is really strong..."

"It's good to get used to it. I specially asked someone to prepare the sauce and dip it in it first. It shouldn't be so spicy..."

Bruno said with a smile.

Hearing this, Old Ford couldn't help but nodded.

Needless to say, although it tastes hot, for the old Ford, the spicy taste brings a unique attraction.

…

The two of them gathered around a table and had a hearty meal.

When he was almost done eating, Bruno asked:

"What do you think of the Fiona brothers and sisters?"

In fact, Bruno already had preliminary considerations in his mind, but he still wanted to hear what Old Ford thought.

After all... In Bruno's view, it may not be a good thing if he has to toss out some of the things he had imagined now, because for the current Principality of Idar, that thing is really a bit early. .

But in order to fight against the church, Bruno must unite all the forces that can be united in the shortest possible time!

And this naturally also includes giving more favors to the nobles who have taken refuge in the Principality of Idar!

Old Ford wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth, pondered for a while, and then said:

"The issue of land is the bottom line of the Principality of Idar, and there is no room for negotiation. As for the Ferona siblings... I have two immature ideas for the time being."

Bruno asked calmly: "Oh? Tell me."

"In my opinion, Miss Ferona can be regarded as a quite talented noble. She is completely different from those Norman nobles who only know how to eat and wait to die. Perhaps she can be given a certain official position and given enough respect and respect. status, but... it must be strictly stated in advance that the official position of the Idar Principality cannot be inherited by the descendants of the Graf family."

Bruno nodded upon hearing this, picked up another slice of hot meat, dipped it in the oil dish, and continued:

"What about another idea?"

"Another idea is to set up an institution that is only responsible to you. Nobles can serve in this institution, but they only have the power to put forward opinions and plans. They cannot directly intervene in the daily affairs of the Principality of Idar, let alone interfere with civil servants. administrative enforcement.”

Good guy!

Old Ford is indeed the person this Duke trusts most!

The moment he heard Old Ford's second idea, Bruno's heart was suddenly filled with a feeling of... extraordinarily gratifying.

Isn't this just politics...

Oh no,

Isn't this John Bull's House of Lords?

In John Bull's House of Lords, the status of members covers royal descendants, hereditary peers, life peers, judges of the Court of Appeal and church archbishops and bishops.

By the time Bruno crossed over, the House of Lords had undergone numerous reforms and had relatively limited powers.

Although it still has the power to veto bills and can review bills passed by the House of Commons, it mainly raises oral or written questions to the government and debates various policy issues promulgated by the government.

Before that,

In fact, such an idea had already appeared in Bruno's mind.

It is precisely for this reason that Bruno called Old Ford here specifically to see what Old Ford thought about the placement of the Graf family.

only……

Bruno has always felt that it is too early to launch such an institution at this time, and even if a similar institution is to be launched, he will impose more stringent restrictions on the relevant powers.

For example... it's enough to give some suggestions, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Don't think about other twists and turns!

What Bruno didn't expect was that Old Ford actually put forward a similar point of view.

And since even Old Ford thinks it's feasible... then the relevant institutions seem to be able to make arrangements.

After all, as the ruler of the Principality of Idar, Bruno himself is a member of the aristocratic class. Although he is constantly supporting civilian officials of low origin, it is impossible to beat all the nobles to death with a stick.

Bruno thought for a moment and finally made up his mind:

"Regarding the preparations for the establishment of the House of Lords, the Government Affairs Office will draft a plan in the past few days. The power given to them is mainly to question and supervise the work of the Government Affairs Office, and to put forward their own ideas on the shortcomings of the Principality of Idar."

"Of course, there is no need to be too anxious. As for the Graf family, a noble seat can be reserved for them. As for whether it can be hereditary... you can discuss it first, and I will weigh it after the plan is finalized."

"In addition, you also need to imagine a lower house composed of civilians. As for the power... it can be larger than the upper house, but there is no need to rush this. If it is completed within three to five years, you will have completed the task. "

Hearing this, Old Ford couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

But he still suppressed the trembling in his heart and replied in a deep voice: "Understood."
