The people below basically ignore the gentle means, and the tough means are afraid to use it because of the turmoil in the current situation.Therefore, the Duke of Victory can only rely on his own strong internal affairs ability and family background.

More than half of the officials in Keluo City are vegetarians, and there are not a few people who hold great power but ignore political affairs.As a result, a large part of the government affairs that no one had to deal with but had to deal with fell on the Duke of Veuve Clicquot.

Under the pressure of massive government affairs, only in his 50s and in his prime, the Duke of Triumph has already grown prematurely.

The Duke of Victory had cursed the mess left by Chen Yu more than once, but he had to bite the bullet and clean it up. After all, he usurped the country by himself, and he had to finish it even if he knelt down.

"There was a famine in Norma City, and the storeroom ran out of food, and financial allocations were needed? Fort Luke's wall collapsed and needed repairs? The guards of Chino City fell to death and needed pensions? The guard equipment of Ayer City was soaked by rain and rusted. , need to purchase funds?"

"Damn it! Damn it!" Duke Triumph threw the official document on the ground viciously, "These moths! I'll make them look good sooner or later!"

Obviously, these official documents are asking for money in circles.In other words, blackmail, blackmail that didn't even bother to make up a reason.These cities that ask for money are basically not the direct descendants of the Duke of Victory, and they seem to be doing their own thing.They took advantage of the political instability to blackmail the Duke of Tribute.

After venting his anger, Duke Triumph had no choice but to retrieve all the official documents.Knowing that it was extortion, the Duke of Veuve had to admit it, because if he ignored these moths today, then these people might defect to the enemy country tomorrow.

"Huh—" Duke Victor Clicquot took a deep breath and called, "Come on, call me the Marquis of Hernan."

The Marquis of Hernand can be said to be a real power faction, a representative of the local nobles.The Duke of Clicquot did not want to see this man if he could.

But the problem is that the treasury of the Kingdom of Colo is currently in a serious deficit, and it cannot satisfy the gluttonous mouths of these moths at all, so it can only delay the negotiation.

[-] Benefit exchange

No, the word "deficiency" is no longer enough to describe the situation of the Kingdom of Keluo.The current Keluo Kingdom, whether it is economic, political or military, is completely riddled with holes.In order to make up for these loopholes, the Duke of Veuve Clicquot has almost emptied his own family property.

However, it's all worth it, and everything is on the bright side.The Duke of Victory can guarantee that within a year, the Keluo Kingdom in his hands will eliminate the shadow of the war and return to the state of Chen Yu's reign.

In less than five years, he will be able to make up for the damage caused by Chen Yu's absurdity to the Keluo Kingdom, bringing it back to the state it was in when he took office.In less than ten years, the national strength of the Keluo Kingdom will have a qualitative leap, and it will become a powerful kingdom again.

Just like the phoenix nirvana, after being rotten to the extreme, everything needs to be overthrown and the cards reshuffled to usher in new glory.

The future is the future after all, and the present has to be dealt with.

The Duke of Veuve immediately went to the living room to wait for the Marquis of Hernan, and ordered his followers to prepare black tea and snacks.

About ten minutes later, someone came to report that Marquis Hernan had arrived at the gate of the Duke's Mansion.

"It seems that he came prepared." Duke Triumph sneered.

The residence of the Duke of the Tribute family is not close to the residence of the Marquis of Hernan, and the aristocratic area cannot ride horses, so it takes at least an hour to go there and back.

Now the Marquis of Hernand arrived at his house in only about 10 minutes, which meant that this person had been waiting outside for a long time, just waiting for his invitation.

"Are you colluding and want to give me a blow so that you can get more benefits? Unfortunately, it's impossible for you to get what you want."

In fact, if conditions permit, the Duke of Veuve really wants them to get what they want so that they can pass this period smoothly.After all, the problems that money can solve are not problems. The problem is that there is no money!

After a while, an attendant led a middle-aged man in aristocratic robes to the living room of the Duke's Mansion.

"Good day, Your Excellency the Duke." The Marquis of Hernand bowed slightly at first, saluting to the Duke of Triumph.

"Good day, Marquis of Hernan." The Duke of Veuve returned the salute, and then said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a long time, and my daughter Isya misses you very much. This time, I invite you to come and get together, so as to relieve Is Ya's love for Your Excellency."

As for the negotiation, the Duke of Tribute was obviously an old fox, and kept silent about the interests of the other party.

Local forces are called local forces, so they are definitely not monolithic. The fact that they are able to gather together to publish so many official documents today is nothing more than a temporary alliance formed because of interests.The Marquis of Hernand, of course, is the representative of this alliance and also acts as a microphone.

This kind of alliance formed due to interests is the most loose, and there are various internal problems, and it is easy to collapse after a long time.Therefore, the Duke of Victory is not in a hurry now.

"Since we met at the banquet that day, Miss Isya's beauty has been deeply imprinted in my heart, and I miss Miss Isya very much." Marquis Hernan replied.

The Marquis of Hernand is Isya's current fiancé in name, but he has only met once in fact.At that time, the Zhengzhi Keluo Kingdom changed hands, and the situation was chaotic. The local forces of the Keluo Kingdom had not yet formed a climate.The Duke of Triumph needed to win over various forces, and the Marquis of Hernan also needed something to rely on, so the two hit it off, and the Duke of Tribute betrothed Isya to the Marquis of Hernan.

Now, the Duke of Veuve's weakness in the lack of control over the local forces is highlighted. The Marquis of Hernand doesn't want to get close to the Veuve family so much.

After all, the Marquis of Hernan can be regarded as a powerful party. How can he be as happy as himself when he is a bull and a horse?

"It's so good, I'll send someone to summon Isya over here immediately." Duke Veuve Clicquot smiled, and then said to the waiter next to him, "Go and ask Miss Isya to come over."

"Come on, try this." The Duke of Veuve Clicquot pushed a plate of succulents in front of the Marquis of Hernan, "This is the jerky made from the back of Moonlight Forest deer cooked in black tea and marinated in caramel. It tastes very delicious. Not bad." Let's talk, the Duke of Veuve Clicquot picked up a piece of meat, and chewed it slowly.

"Oh? It's terrible. The moonlight forest deer is expensive." Marquis Hernand praised, and also picked up a sensual piece and put it in his mouth.

Both of them talked about him from left to right, and didn't mention the serious business at all.Because both of them know that the one who speaks first must be at a disadvantage.

The two chatted awkwardly, and after a while, Isya also came to the living room.

Isya frowned slightly, with a cold expression on her face.The close-fitting black dress tightly wrapped her plump and delicate body, and the towering peaks and straight hips outlined a perfect S-shaped arc.

The most eye-catching thing is the legs wrapped in purple stockings, slender and round, paired with transparent crystal high-heeled shoes, it looks even more beautiful.

"Is there something wrong?" Isya glanced at Duke Velicge and then at Marquis Hernan, her tone indifferent.

"Isya, Marquis Hernan is your fiancé, how can you talk like that?" Duke Triumph said displeased.

The Marquis of Hernan was captured by Isya's beauty for a while, and he came back to his senses when he heard the Duke of Veuve Clicquot, swallowed his saliva and said, "It's okay, Miss Isya's true temperament, please don't let the Duke of Clicquot not Strange."

"My lord, is my wedding to Miss Isya approaching?" Marquis Hernand asked.Marquis Hernan didn't observe carefully in the dim banquet hall that day, but when he saw it today, he realized that Isya is such a stunning beauty, and he suddenly had an idea in his heart.

"That's right." The Duke of Triumph smiled, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he said in an ambiguous tone, "According to the agreement, there are still three days left, but if the Marquis of Hernan can't wait, he can stay in the Duke's mansion for a few nights first."

"This..." Marquis Hernan was a little hesitant.

The Duke of Veuve is clearly trying to win him over, implying that if he joins the Veuve family, he will be able to gain more benefits, such as a stunning beauty like Isya.

Winning over the Marquis of Hernan was something that Duke Triumph had thought of early on.Even though some benefits may have to be paid, the Marquis of Hernan's appetite is always much smaller than that of the local power alliance.

When the two were thinking about it, they didn't realize that Isya turned around, biting her lower lip tightly, and blood flowed down the corner of her lip.

Isya turned around and glanced at the contented appearance of Duke Veuve Clicquot, a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes, not indifference, but bone-chilling coldness.

For the benefit of the family, Isya has already devoted almost all of her youth.Now, her father wants to use her as a bargaining chip, no, maybe it's just an extra on the bargaining chip to give to others.

If one month ago, Isya had completely given up on the Kaige family, then now, Isya has heartbroken and boundless hatred for the Kaige family.

To put it bluntly, Isya is a woman who is spoiled by Chen Yu. Even if she doesn't talk about her feelings for Chen Yu, it is impossible to accept her current status as a cheap commodity.

[-] news

"Report-"

A guard stumbled in.

"Huh? Tell me, what's the matter." Duke Triumph frowned.Judging from the flustered expression of the guard, it must not be good news.

"Your Excellency." The guard knelt on one knee, "There is news from South Cal City that King Keluo has been found."

"What?" Marquis Hernand looked shocked.
