Tear the script by hand, rule the villain

Duke Klein looked at the two children in front of him, and an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, so he said: "There are more than a dozen poor villages in the Lavia area. You can choose a few villages for practice. I hope to see a new look in half a year."

"Father, what do you mean?" Victor was shocked. His father wanted Vivian to compete with him for the position of heir!

If after half a year, the territory managed by Vivienne develops better than his territory, who will admit that he is the future Duke?

Although the Klein family has been inherited by men for more than 100 years, it does not mean that women have no inheritance rights.Now Victor is the first heir, and Duke Klein has not adopted any collateral, so Vivienne is the second heir.

"Victor, are you afraid of losing to me?" Vivian snorted coldly, as if she didn't take her brother seriously.

"Sister, you misunderstood." Victor put on a half smile.

"Victor, you have been educated as an heir since you were a child, while Vivienne was educated as a lady. I hope you don't waste the careful teaching of the teachers, understand?" The Duke is very interested in the daughter who hides his secrets. Of course, he also wants to know how far the son with a sinister heart can go to win?
In short, he doesn't care whether the heir is male or female, he only cares whether the other party can bring greater benefits to the family.Vivian grew up in flower arrangement, embroidery, poetry... If she can beat Victor, it means that she is more talented, that's all.

"Father, everything will be as you wish." Vivian grasped the hem of her skirt and bowed in salute. This attitude showed that she was willing to accept the challenge.

Victor gritted his teeth and glared at her. This woman is ambitious, not to mention stealing everyone's attention, and even taking away the only thing he owns!
Vivienne glanced at Victor's distorted face from the corner of her eye, and suddenly felt in a good mood.In Victor's view, he is a firm heir, and his father will protect him even if he kills and sets fire.

Now that the situation has changed, if his father doesn't let him go, his position will become very embarrassing.In the next half month, Victor went to Lavia to select a village in person.

Potatoes, corn, and barley are mainly grown in the north. If there is enough land, even if the harvest is not good, they can barely maintain food and clothing.

The reason why the Lavia area is poorer than other places is that there are many mountains and less arable land; the second is that it pays a lot of taxes;

A group of savages lived behind Mount Liss, and they often entered the village to rob food when the crops were ripe.Duke Klein once sent soldiers to suppress the bandits, but the other party was too cunning and they escaped every time.

Vivian chose the four villages closest to Mount Leith and asked the Duke to transfer the land to her.The duke agreed without asking, and let them choose their assistants.

Vivian took five knights, three maids, two stewards and Karna and set off.On the other side, Victor also chose two villages, but they were farther away from Mount Lees.

"My lord, who do you think will win, the young master or the young lady?" Gilman was curious about the choice of the male and female.

"Victor won't give up easily. Vivienne seems to be hiding a lot." Duke Klein knew very well what his son had done over the years. The reason why he pretended not to know was because Victor was a smart boy.

The nobles of the empire have more or less shortcomings. For example, some people like to be imprisoned, some like to kill, and some like to hunt. It is not surprising that Victor likes to see people bleed.

The Duke drove him to the countryside, not because he believed that Victor could get better, but because he didn't want to be found out that there was a lunatic in the Klein family.After six years of education, the darkness in Victor's heart didn't dissipate but accumulated deeper, but it didn't matter because he learned to hide the darkness.

Even if he doesn't take the initiative, the Duke will send someone to bring him back after a while.After all, as an heir, the sooner he gets in touch with the family business, the better.

The only thing that made him lose control was Vivienne, who went to the capital and came back, her temper seemed to have changed completely.

"Miss, the carriage on the road ahead can't get in." Evans and others sighed after they came back from exploring the road.

"Then ride into the village." Vivienne looked at the dilapidated road, if she forced the carriage in, it would probably break down in less than half an hour.

"What about the things in the carriage?" Vivienne will live here for half a year, and Laura, Annie, and Fia packed a lot of things, and the carriage is full.

"Mark, Evans, and Karna followed me into the village, and the others are here to guard their luggage." Vivian said after getting off the car.

"Yes, miss." Everyone replied quickly.

When the four of them rode into the village, they saw dilapidated gray, gray sky, gray thatched huts, gray villagers, gray land...

"Good job, give me something to eat!"

"Reward some food, we haven't eaten for three days!"

"My two children are so poor, they are starving to death!"

When the villagers saw the gorgeously dressed nobleman entering the village, they rushed over immediately.Evans and Mark stood in front of Vivienne, and Karna also bared his teeth and roared.

After two months of teaching, he already knew that Vivienne was the master.As long as he is obedient, the master will praise him and let him eat delicious food.

For Karna, the lady who fed him without beating him was the best host in the world.

"Mark, tell them to build roads if they want to eat." Vivian patted Mark's arm.

Both Mark and Martin are candidates for housekeeping and are brothers. Mark is tall and tall and good at disciplining servants; Martin is handsome and good at accounting and doing business.

"Quiet!" Mark pulled out a long whip from his waist and flicked it, causing all the villagers to take two steps back in fright.

"This is the daughter of the Duke of Klein, and she will manage the Vinia region on her behalf from today. Because the road is too poor, the carriage of the father and daughter cannot come in. If someone is willing to repair the road, then the father and daughter will be happy to provide you with food."

After Mark finished speaking, the villagers became dejected. They thought they could get the relief food directly, but they didn't expect to have to work!

"If no one is willing, then we will go to the nearby villages to ask. Anyway, there are many people who want to work. Also, be careful not to offend your father and daughter. It is a capital offense for poor people to attack nobles!"

Mark snapped and flicked his whip again, and the villagers looked at each other in dismay.A woman stepped forward, and beside her were three children aged seven or eight, and heard that her husband was ill.

"I am willing to build roads, and my children are also very capable." The woman said loudly.

"Okay, regardless of age, as long as you can work, you will be given food." Mark put on a hearty smile, as if he wasn't the one who was vicious just now.

The villagers rushed to build roads, took tools if they had tools at home, and moved them by hand if they didn't.Vivienne looked around and found that there were only about 20 households in this village, less than a hundred people.

However, there were only [-] people, big and small, who went to build the road, and there were seven or eight pretending to be working, but secretly watching them.

The village head is a 70-year-old man, wrinkled, looking like a sun-dried plum, dark and not autumnal.

Vivian asked the village chief about the situation and learned that all the young people in the village had run away, only the elderly and children, so they became poorer and poorer.The situation in the nearby villages is similar. Some people died of starvation a few days ago.

Vivienne's plan is to save the villagers here by combining greenhouse planting and business.
