"I thought you would say something."


    Pace smiled and said slowly under the Duke''s gaze: "He not only liberated the serfs, but also prepared to slowly liberate the slaves in the territory. He not only recovered all the land, but also distributed the land to all farmers for cultivation. In addition, he also innovated farming methods and invented agricultural tools. In just one year, the river collar can satisfy everyone. As for the iron mine, it belongs to Lingfeng castle."


    The Duke and Eugenie stopped and looked at pace in surprise.


    "You seem to know Shanghe collar very well and agree with the count of Lingfeng castle?" the Duke asked.


    "Why not?" pace made no secret of it. "As you said, he is only a young man. Among the many lords of the Kingdom, he is only a child in terms of age. But because of him, in just one year, he not only guarded the most dangerous fortress of the Kingdom, but also formed an army, which not only made the territory rich, but also gradually restored the population."


    "Nowadays, Shanghe collar not only runs schools, everyone can read, but also opens factories, vigorously builds towns and roads, and everyone can get a satisfactory reward for their labor. All the people of Shanghe collar support their lords. Who can do better than him?"


    The restaurant was completely quiet. This time, not only the Duke and Eugene looked surprised, but also the servants and bodyguards stared at him in surprise.


    The difference is that the Duke and Eugenie were surprised at the change of pace and the admiration for the count of lingfengbao in their words, while the servants and guards only thought that he was talking nonsense - everyone can read, everyone can fill their stomachs, and everyone can work for pay - how is that possible!


    "Pace, you have changed a lot," said the Duke after a moment of silence. "You didn''t talk like that before, but your current state worries me even more! Do you know who you are? And do you know what you really should do as a noble lord?"


    "Worry? Oh, it should be more disappointed." picked up the silver cup, pace sipped a mouthful of ale, with a calm and low tone. "I know what you want to say, but there''s nothing wrong with going to the river. What''s happening there now is a clear proof! Whoever can make the people under the rule eat and wear warm clothes, free from slavery and life threat, and live free and with dignity, who can get their support. That''s what a Lord should do!"


    "Ridiculous!!"


    Duke kewilt pushed away the plate in front of him and stared at pace angrily: "who does he think he is? Why does he think he can become the count of Lingfeng castle and the Lord of the river leader! I tell you, it''s because his surname is tustra and the blood of the nobility is flowing in his body!"


    "Freedom? Dignity? Freedom from the threat of life? Hum, he is more naive than an ignorant baby! He not only betrayed the vassal, betrayed all the nobles, but also betrayed his blood! It won''t be long before he will know that his rule is not from the support of the people, but from the recognition of the vassal and the nobles! And you, you idiot, can you agree with an innocent man Know what babies do! Pace, you really let me down! "


    Looking at his father''s disappointed expression, pace''s originally excited mood calmed down.


    "Without that family, you are born into the blood of nobility," he said. "It has never been that when you become a nobility, you can get support and enjoy the power of rule; but the people who are supported have become nobility with the power of rule! With all due respect: Your Majesty, you are too narrow."


    Pace shook his head in disappointment, as if unwilling to argue.


    "Narrow? You call me narrow!"


    Jane, Duke of kewilt, was going crazy with anger. The bastard not only didn''t admit his mistake and repent, but also showed disappointment at him and disdained to argue with him.


    On one side, Eugenie stared curiously at her brother with bright eyes, without any intention of stopping the two people from arguing.


    Facing his father''s angry face, pace said faintly, "nothing is more important than living. Do you agree?"


    Duke kewilt nodded solemnly. He wanted to see what the little son could say!


    Seeing him nod, pace then asked, "what do you think will happen to Shanghe collar if Lingfeng Castle doesn''t do so?"


    The Duke of kewilt knows exactly what will happen to the river collar.


    "He can ask other nobles for help and guard the sharp blade fortress together. It is his own greed that has broken the old agreement of the three alliance!" the duke said gritting his teeth.


    Pace smiled contemptuously, looked at his father and said, "as a Duke of the north, don''t say you don''t know the situation of the alliance. How did green and the campes family force Lingfeng castle into a desperate situation? If I remember well, you have made a decision on this."


    A trace of memory flashed in the Duke''s eyes: "the mission of the tustra family is to guard the sharp blade fortress, but the emergence of the iron mine makes their strength exceed the needs of this mission! As a Duke of the north, what''s the problem with making such a ruling for the stability of the North!"


    "But when the river leader fell into a desperate situation, you, as the Duke of the north, didn''t stop it. A few months ago, the rampage of Warcraft was still a hot talk in hotels everywhere. Imagine that without the tustra family, a large area of land in the North would have been a paradise for Warcraft."


    Facing pace''s reproachful tone, the Duke stared: "as a golden guard, you should understand the reason. Even if there is no tustra family, there will be other families to guard the sharp blade fortress! All this is their own fault."


    "Of course I understand." pace deflated his mouth. "This is really the fault of the tustra family. They should give way to the iron mine, and then continue to bleed and sacrifice for the stability of the north. Finally, in the laughter of the nobles, they got a comment of" watchdog "


    Then pace suddenly stared into his father''s eyes: "Duke, I want to ask, what would you do if it were you!"


    "Did you come back specially to defend Lingfeng castle?" the Duke looked at pace sarcastically. After a moment of stalemate, he said faintly, "if it were me, I would take the iron mine as a chip and take the initiative to make friends with various forces in exchange for support. I would never go to a dead end like Lingfeng castle now."


    "You won''t do that. You won''t leave your fate to others," pace said firmly. "Moreover, you don''t know the situation and changes of Shanghe collar at all. Sure enough, without investigation, you have no say."
