Chapter 840 Drawing a big pie? I don't want to do this
When Lu Xingshi proposed to leave the territory alone for a period of time, about three months, he naturally encountered collective opposition from the housekeeper to the territorial officer.
Whether it's one person, leaving the territory, or three months, no one would object to one of them alone, but when the three conditions come together, it won't work.
Just like it is not illegal to drive, it is not illegal to drink, but it is illegal to drive after drinking.
In their inherent thinking, how could Lu Xingshi, as a noble, leave the territory so rashly? What would they do if something happened?
And where to go, Lu Xingshi was not willing to say at all.
"Sir, I know you were once a wandering knight, but now you are a noble lord, and everything in the Black Territory requires you to make decisions." The Sheriff said solemnly.
Finally, a normal viscount came here. Not long after this talent, he had to go out alone. What if he ran away?
The entire Black Earth Territory truly supports Lu Xingshi.
The main thing is that Lu Xingshi is generous and neat in doing things. Compared with the previous two viscounts and Lu Xingshi, there is a huge difference.
Under the leadership of Lu Xingshi, the changes in the current Black Earth Territory are becoming more and more obvious.
Therefore, Lu Xingshi cannot be allowed to leave under any circumstances.
"Ah... I want to inspire and condense the extraordinary seeds to make some preparations. I will be back soon." Lu Xingshi said helplessly.
He still underestimated the decisiveness of this group of people, and this situation almost seemed to grow on him.
"Whatever preparations you need, I can ask someone to go for you." The Sheriff said without hesitation: "If you are still worried, I can go too."
Everyone in Lu Xingshi was numb. The words had reached this point, and Lu Xingshi was also thinking about the feasibility of this.
"I'm relieved if you go, but you alone may not be enough."
"And if I hadn't done this, it would have been very dangerous." Lu Xingshi said truthfully.
"My son can also serve you. He will not be afraid of danger." The Sheriff said immediately.
"For two people, good luck should be enough." Lu Xingshi touched his chin and said, "I found an alchemy skill from the relics passed down by my family."
"Able to create perfect quality earth element essence from a large amount of soil and rocks."
"And I need one hundred thousand copies, which is not a small amount." Lu Xingshi said slowly.
This made the four people present look stunned. The amount of information in Lu Xingshi's words made their minds buzz.
Once this news leaks out, I am afraid that the entire kingdom will focus on this small black soil territory.
They did not ask Lu Xingshi why he wanted 100,000 pieces of earth element essence, but were shocked that the Langton family had such powerful alchemy.
"Sir, each perfect quality earth element essence requires a lot of soil and rocks." The financial officer quickly calmed down and asked immediately.
"Yes, that's why I chose Haipa Principality as my target." Lu Xingshi said slowly.
As soon as these words came out, the four people present immediately understood why Lu Xingshi said there would be danger.
He would be dead if discovered by the Principality of Hypa.
Even if they don't know how much earth and rocks a perfect quality earth element essence requires, they are sure that it is absolutely indispensable, otherwise Lu Xingshi would not have chosen the Haipa Principality.
By doing this, Lu Xingshi could not only retaliate against the Haipa Principality, but also obtain the needed earth element essence.
"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely complete your order!" The Sheriff gritted his teeth and directly accepted the job.
Not to mention anything else, with this alchemy alone, the future of the Langton family and the Black Earth Territory will not be low.
If he becomes a great hero at this time, he can't imagine what the future will look like.
"If you and your son can accomplish this, I will make your son my canonized knight."
"And I'll give you another ten households of knights."
He is not the kind of person who can't bear to grant a title to someone who has meritorious service.
When rewarding meritorious ministers, even if the seal is polished and not willing to give it to the meritorious minister, what's the use of just being able to draw a pie.
When real money and real power are distributed, the people below will be motivated to work for you.
The premise of wolf culture is to eat meat, not big cakes.
Hearing Lu Xingshi's words, the Sheriff was stunned for a moment, and then his whole face turned red with excitement.
The knighthood of a canonized knight cannot be passed on to heirs, so once he dies, there will be no special treatment.
Lu Xingshi's words directly allowed his son to be canonized as a knight, not to mention giving him a better treatment.
When he obtained the status of a canonized knight, he had to work hard to get it.
After serving as the Sheriff of the Langton family for so many generations, he became a canonized knight. Now, his son can be one too.
Both father and son were canonized knights. In their eyes, it was simply a supreme honor and Lu Xingshi's supreme generosity.
The treasurer, judicial officer, and butler looked at the sheriff with jealousy in their eyes.
It's a pity that they really don't have this ability and can only do bad things. Otherwise, they would all want to fight for this mission, even if it is dangerous. Becoming a canonized knight is equivalent to being half a noble.
The privileges they possess are not comparable to them.
"Thank you, sir. I will definitely complete it! If not, I will come to you with my head!" The Sheriff's voice was decisive.
He can even die in this mission. As long as it is completed, his son will definitely become a new canonized knight. Then when he takes over as the Sheriff, there is no need to worry about the soldiers dissatisfying him as a young man.
"It doesn't matter if you can't finish it. Your safety comes first."
"After all, without you, the Black Earth Territory will have one less person who can support law and order."
"Your son is indeed an excellent heir, but compared to you, he is not mature enough. He still needs you to live to teach him your experience as a peace officer."
"So when in danger, save your own life first." Lu Xingshi's words were naturally trying to win over people.
In fact, it was half true and half false. After all, both father and son had gone there. If something happened, they would definitely die together. This is a ghost.
The Sheriff was so moved when he heard this.
In terms of acting skills, Lu Xingshi is still very good. It is impossible for these four people to see it.
"You two, try your best to cooperate with the Sheriff and let him complete his task, but don't make it too obvious."
"If you can help, help. If you can't help, don't cause trouble."
"If it succeeds afterwards, I won't be stingy with the reward." Lu Xingshi looked at the financial officer and the judicial officer with an encouraging look.
Then he gave each person some words of encouragement before sending them out.
"Sir, you are still hasty in this matter. If the Sheriff takes your alchemy skills to seek refuge with Grand Duke Hypa or the royal family..." The butler hesitated again and again, but finally reminded him.
"Then he is dead." Lu Xingshi said lightly: "He is not important, what is important is alchemy."
"Even if I don't kill him, Grand Duke Haipa and the royal family will kill him."
As for glory and wealth? If you think too much, you will not keep him alive for such a huge benefit. Once people know that the alchemy they obtained comes from the Langton family, this kind of plundering behavior will only make the nobles wary.
Of course, Lu Xingshi, Viscount Langton and the Black Earth Territory would not get any better.
But now his Black Earth Territory is equipped with explosive versions of crossbows and catapults. If he really wants to invade the Black Earth Territory, he will have to pay a huge price.
What's more, this is not alchemy at all, but Lu Xingshi's artificial earth element essence technology. How could they get it?
Even if they got it, it was a wrong technique that Lu Xingshi deliberately gave them.
"Sir, if you can trust me, let my son monitor him. As the captain of the guard, he also has enough force." The housekeeper said quickly.
Lu Xingshi glanced at him, and he knew what he was thinking.
"Yes, but the act of surveillance is too straightforward. Let him go do things for me and monitor me by the way."
"After the event is completed, he can also become a canonized knight." Lu Xingshi didn't mind much.
As the steward said, we can indeed monitor each other to form checks and balances.
There can also be competition during this period.
However, if other people come to ask Lu Xingshi, they may not agree, such as the judicial officer and the financial officer, but not their sons, because they are similar to civil servants.
The son of the housekeeper serves as the captain of the bodyguard, which is also very powerful. In addition, he is also a personal servant. He is an all-round talent with both rough and fine qualities.
The three of them are also better taken care of.
"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir." The housekeeper did not expect Lu Xingshi to agree immediately.
"This matter ends here. There will be no third canonization unless he can come up with a better way." Lu Xingshi warned, just know it yourself and don't spread it to others.
"Also, keep it secret. No one else is allowed to know about this except you, otherwise..."
Lu Xingshi's body exuded a suffocating and terrifying killing intent.
The butler was immediately frightened, and secretly sighed in his heart that he was worthy of being a wandering knight, and his power was not simple.
"Don't worry, no one else will know about it." The housekeeper also understood that this matter was very important to Lu Xingshi, so he had to handle it well.
Otherwise, let alone his son becoming a knight, whether his life can be saved is another matter.
They need to be loyal to Lu Xingshi, Viscount Langton, to gain privileges, but Lu Xingshi does not necessarily need them. He can completely replace a group of people as housekeepers and territorial officers.
"Well, go ahead and take care of it as soon as possible."
"I'm waiting for your good news." After Lu Xingshi finished speaking, he asked the housekeeper to implement it as soon as possible.
As for if it fails, it doesn't matter. The worst he can do is go there in person. It's really hard not to go to the Principality of Haipa and randomly select an unlucky guy as an option.
When he has stimulated and condensed the extraordinary seeds and his strength has greatly increased, he can go to the Principality of Haipa and pinch the head of the Grand Duke Haipa to let him know what it means not to bully young people into poverty.
