"The duty of silence means that a rich family belonging to the same kingdom cannot interfere with the inheritance struggle of another rich family in any form. No matter their heirs beg or buy from you, you must stand by and remain silent until the dust is settled before you can communicate with each other."


    The big family has the survival rules of the big family. Soon after Victor stepped into the circle of the big aristocracy, he still has a lot to learn. Sylvia has an obligation to be his teacher.


    "No Millennium family can guarantee its long-term prosperity, and the York family has declined and risen again. Now we intervene in the struggle of the successors of the SoLIM family, and other giants can interfere with us in the future."


    Victor thought for a moment and asked, "does the rich refer to the Millennium family?"


    "One of the princes." Sylvia shook her head and further explained: "NIM, Wellington and Joshua, the ancestors of these three families, are all followers of the augustian ancestors. Their territory guards the direct territory of the augustian family, which is located in the west, South and east of the royal court. Our York family and SoLIM family were once the vassals of neovist. 700 years ago, the eagle broke its wings, the imperial royal family gradually declined, Friedrich and Ogu The three families of Johnston and resk took advantage of the situation to rise. The York family and SoLIM successively took refuge in Auguste to avoid becoming the victims of the restoration war launched by neowest. "


    "In terms of closeness, York and SoLIM certainly can''t compare with the relationship between the followers'' family and kite castle. If Auguste takes advantage of the decline of the princes to intervene in each other''s inheritance struggle and divide the vassal territory, let alone we don''t agree, even the followers'' family won''t agree. On the contrary, if we intervene in the internal struggle of the SoLIM family and control SoLIM''s successor, Ogu How will Stefan react? If every vassal competes for the flesh and blood of the declining family like the serpentine vulture, will there be a civil war in the kingdom? "


    Sylvia paused and said slowly: "As the same kind, we watch SoLIM die, or be reborn, or be replaced by a new overlord, but we can''t treat them as a piece of fat. Even the Augustus family won''t directly intervene in the internal struggle of the SoLIM family at this time. They choose to force the chebman family to cede 4000 square kilometers of territory and place Weigel Augustus in the south. Weigel will become As a nail for the kite castle to enter the southern territory, count chebman was embarrassed by the marriage request of the kite castle. He was worried that weiger''s descendants would compete with the chebman family for the position of Southern hegemony. This is almost inevitable. The Auguste family has been greedy for minerals in the south for a long time. "


    Victor sneered, "didn''t Auguste deceive himself and others?"


    "But they did not violate their duty of silence."


    Sylvia pursed her beautiful red lips and asked, "honey, have you considered the feelings of the chebman family when you took in the illegitimate son of the Marquis SoLIM? Aren''t they your allies?"


    "I don''t like count chebman, I only care about Gillian..." Victor glanced and said, "the wall of the southern fortress is about to be completed, and the alliance between chebman and me will change."


    Sylvia said angrily and jokingly, "Gillian and chebman are not the same thing? You should return the two children to the SoLIM family... With Sophia by your side, what is the 100000 kinsol of the SoLIM family?"


    Sorim''s illegitimate son is only worth 100000 gold sol? There are four silver mines behind them!


    The silver equipment will come out one day. Even if the major forces do not integrate the silver technology, it will not prevent them from competing for the silver resources. Victor wants to use this time to reserve as much silver ore as possible. The Marquis SoLIM is ready to attack the element sea, and the family members are busy competing for the title. Copper city has no energy to pay attention to the real value of softsilver. If it is changed to another Lord , even for a small Baron family, Victor could not have the chance to fish in troubled waters.


    As long as Brandon and Shirley are left in the Randall family, victor will not worry about the new owner of the copper city overthrowing the agreement reached between SoLIM''s eldest son and him. When the golden regiment has full wings, it''s a big deal to start a war. Anyway, there is an agreement in hand, and Victor is not afraid of even the spat of words on the Holy See.


    Four silver mines are worth a war!


    "If you want to fight beyond your ability, that is greed! Greed makes people stupid!" Cried Sylvia unhappily.


    Victor spread out his hands and argued forcefully: "it''s just two little guys who don''t have the right to inherit. I can''t watch them being poisoned! Besides, the Marquis SoLIM hasn''t died yet. He doesn''t rush to impact the element sea. He can live for at least ten years. Taking in his illegitimate son is only a normal foster behavior and doesn''t interfere with SoLIM''s inheritance struggle."


    "Do you know how much pressure I''ve been under? So much land is enough for us to digest for a long time... Ten years later, the alienated war beasts of the family can be cultivated, and twenty years later, the war beast knights can barely form a scale. By that time, the South expansion strategy has been implemented, but the York family alone can''t cope with the aborigines of the southern continent. We It needs the strength of the whole kingdom. The southern continent has plenty of resources. We don''t need to offend kite castle for the sake of SoLIM family. Williams will use this as an excuse to unite the great lord of Gambis and isolate our York family! "


    "Can''t you see? The old man is seeking the opportunity for the rise of the SoLIM family with the help of your influence and me!"


    Victor just shook his head. Sylvia was so angry that she kicked Xueyu''s exquisite fiber foot, but Victor caught it in her hand and kneaded it.


    "What are you laughing at?" Sylvia rolled her eyes, but did not retract her legs.


    Victor shook his head and said with a smile, "even Brandon and Shirley of the kite Castle know that the penetration ability of the spy of the kite Castle really surprised me... Williams intimidated me with the spy here, and Roland broke into the kitchen of the silver moon manor. I think Williams must have a wonderful face when he knows." He suddenly asked again, "the Marquis of Cologne seems to be 100 years old?"


    "Um..." Sylvia snorted softly, her nose languid and charming. "His highness goron is 98 years old... Say! What are you thinking?"


    "He and Roland must need blue taro very much. I can send someone to collect some blue taro as a gift to congratulate Prince Edward on his accession to the throne. Of course, we offer blue taro to kite Castle every year. For the sake of blue taro, the Regent should not trouble me for two insignificant illegitimate children."


    Sylvia broke free of Victor''s claws, curled up her beautiful legs and said with interest, "go on."


    "I have no intention of interfering in the inheritance of the SoLIM family. My purpose is the soft silver mine led by the Marquis of SoLIM!"


    "What''s the use of soft silver?" Sylvia''s eyes lit up and asked.


    The little lover can always bring her many surprises. Purple cane, golden silk grass, fish man mucus, rotten heart grass, these seemingly ordinary things have been turned into crude sugar, rock brick, new adhesive, rattan bark beetle, and worthless thorn kidney beans. They have also become the materials for making pancreatic soap, although pancreatic soap was invented by the Deputy priest David of Pinghu Town.


    In short, Randall has a lot of whimsical people. Maybe the slimy soft silver is also useful now?


    "Softbank is useless!" Victor''s face was not red and he said breathlessly, "the purchase of soft silver mine is to divert the Lord''s attention. What I want is charcoal in the dark forest."


    "Gombis is about to launch the fishman war, which was caused by Sophia. As a Marquis of the court, she has to bear at least part of the military expenditure. In this case, she has no ability and need to invest in the construction of two ports at the same time. Chebman is closer to the quarry and dark forest, which means that the transportation cost is lower, and Williams limits the stone supply of the man horse hills , Sophia can only choose to build a port in chebman. "


    Victor turned his voice and said, "of course, these are what we expected."


    "We don''t have stone materials and we want to build a port, so we invented iron brick. The production cost of iron brick is very high, which is more expensive than transporting stone materials, and requires a large amount of iron ore. therefore, we have to sell refined iron ore and purchase iron ore. Yuanbao can''t refuse this proposal. There are two reasons. First, the neville people will cooperate with us to reduce the refined iron ore in Gambis Iron supply. Second, when Yuanbao learned about the production cost of iron bricks, they would come to the conclusion that it was a failure for us to build a port with iron bricks, and it was doomed to be impossible to succeed. Yuanbao was happy to see our jokes. "


    "A few years later, it was really difficult for us to build a port with iron bricks, so we invented rock bricks. Everyone thought that the emergence of rock bricks was forced out. We have a foothold in public opinion. Barbarian diplomacy is our tiger skin, and Nim and Wellington families are our potential allies. As long as they cooperate with us, they can get the construction and life of giant brick kilns Production plan. Kite castle can''t unite with the grand Lord to exert pressure on Renma hill. While negotiating with us, they unite against external forces. In short, we must not let the kings get the production technology of rock bricks first. We have enough time to produce rock bricks and prepare for future large-scale construction, and then sell rock bricks at a good price. "


    "The above is your disintegration strategy."


    Sylvia blinked and asked, "is there a problem?"


    "No problem." Victor shook his head and said, "I told you before that charcoal resources are the biggest loophole in this plan. After the advent of rock brick, even kite castle is not needed. All lords have to rush to buy Charcoal from the dark forest. As long as the price of charcoal is raised to three times, we can''t afford it."


    "I remember the charcoal reserve was left to you..." Sylvia said thoughtfully, "the purchase of softsilver ore is related to the charcoal reserve?"


    Victor nodded and said: "The void water element in the dark forest is very active. The periphery of the forest is covered with tenacious thorn shrubs and sedges. Eleven small families around the forest have no way to cultivate farmland and herd cattle and sheep. They are very jealous of Lord leilila''s charcoal business. As long as I nod, they are willing to sell charcoal to people and horses. However, charcoal is a bulk material, if I open it up The purchase must arouse the vigilance of other families. "


    "Yes, viscount Randall is now famous and attracts people''s attention. If you buy Charcoal in large quantities, whether it''s useful or not, others will follow suit, and the price of charcoal must soar." Sylvia said with a smile: "I want to hide you behind me. Roland forced you out of a ball of Marquis de Leopold. Now I think she meant it. Roland''s eyes are really accurate..."


    Victor shook his head with a wry smile and continued: "I need an excuse to cover up my real purpose. Pinghu Town doesn''t have a wall at present. I plan to build a 1.4m thick inner wall with green bricks and fill the interlayer with soft silver ore as stones. This wall is strong enough. Soft silver ore is very tough, but it can''t be ground into shape. It must be burned and watered to break it into stones, which requires a lot of wood Charcoal. "


    "I have surveyed the geographical environment of Renma hill. There are only three minable soft silver veins in Renma hill. One is in my territory and the other two are in the north. It is too far away from Pinghu Town and has no mining value. I signed an agreement with Boris SoLIM. I took in SoLIM''s illegitimate son. The SoLIM family provided softsilver ore to Pinghu Town according to the price of stone until the city Until the wall is completed. "


    "Then again, did Williams support chebman to replace SoLIM in order to monopolize the control of the port? It''s strange that you don''t react!"


    Sylvia thought for a moment and smiled, "it''s really yours to build the city wall with soft silver mine... But you still can''t solve the problem. As long as the charcoal purchase in the human horse hills exceeds the actual consumption, others must hoard charcoal, especially the Wellington family."


    "Therefore, I can''t come forward personally. The charcoal trade must be in the hands of China."


    Victor agreed and said: "Before the barbarians cross the river, kite Castle dare not deprive Sophia of her title. Her domestic trade will not be affected. Sophia''s four leaf clover business group has the ability to control the charcoal trade. Sophia will buy out the charcoal produced by 11 families within seven years. Each family will provide no less than 300 cars of charcoal per month, which will be supervised by the church. This can ensure that the price of charcoal will remain unchanged for seven years . we have the right to give priority to purchasing the charcoal in Sophia''s hands at a price higher than 15%. Yeliucheng will become a charcoal distribution center, and the Wellington family and the Buryat family will also benefit from it. "


    "Seven years later, the oil wood forest we planted has taken shape. No one wants to use fuel to clamp us down."


    "Wonderful layout!" Sylvia sighed and smiled, "honey, you always have a way to convince me."


    Victor smiled and frowned: "the eleven Lord families belong to four Baron Lords. Behind these four Baron families are deepwater City, vestock and copper city. I''m worried that Wellington and Joshua will secretly block this agreement."


    "Don''t worry. The four Baron families are independent lords, and the influence of the Patriarch on them is limited." Sylvia said faintly, "besides, Sophia is booming now. Wellington and Joshua will never dare to overturn the trade agreement."


    Victor sighed and said, "what if they secretly ask their bishops to refuse to hold a pre God notarization for the charcoal trade?"


    Sylvia was silent for a moment and said, "do you want me to find Clement?"


    "Yes."


    "If I can influence the decision-making of the church Privy Council, how can the Pope convince the public if he defends me?" Sylvia said leisurely, "I''ll talk to Clement, which will only backfire. But..." Sylvia lengthened the ending and said with a sly smile: "you can talk to him."


    "Me?" Victor said in surprise.


    "It''s you." Sylvia nodded affirmatively and said, "Clement''s position is different from that of the shining knights. He wants the human country to eliminate the civil war and unite with the outside world. Seeing that this goal is about to be achieved, he won''t care about the small friction between the Lords of Gambis. Your status is not high or low. It''s suitable to make a small request to the Pope."


    "Do you know where the Pope is now?" Sylvia asked suddenly.


    Clement and turnans disguised as refugees and sneaked into the Randall collar. Although there are more than 40000 people in the Randall collar, the Randall family''s strict management of the population has long been mastered by Victor. Moreover, Clement''s secret visit was not hidden from the Pinghu Town church.


    Victor looked strange and said, "the Pope and Lord turnans live in George village and work with hired workers every day..."
