Chapter 477 Gerd Rodney 1
“Father in Heaven!”
Hansel rubbed his eyes and read the letter in his hand again.
This letter, more specifically, is an edict written by His Majesty the King himself.
His Majesty the King... His Majesty the King, the Supreme King, actually wrote to me personally!
After experiencing a series of mental changes such as shock, disbelief, and repeated confirmations, Hansel felt a surge of ecstasy in his heart.
Half an hour ago, Hansel, who was the director of the Ministry of Agriculture, had just returned to his residence from get off work at the Government Affairs Council. The servant told him that three important figures from the capital Jingyao were waiting for him in the living room.
Since he came from Jingyao, Hansel did not dare to neglect, washed his face in a hurry and went to see the guests.
As soon as I entered the living room, I saw three young people in noble clothes sitting there.
The one sitting in the middle is slightly older, with a thin face, deep eye sockets, a carefully trimmed mustache, and a steady gaze.
The two people next to him are much younger. They look not much older than Earl Grayman. Their appearance is very similar. They are twins at first glance. Although their faces are rounder and whiter, the expression between their eyebrows and eyes has some shadow of the one in front. Maybe his two twin brothers.
“I am Baron Hansel Abbott, the representative of the royal family in the North-West Gulf, and the director of the Ministry of Agriculture in the Government Offices of Alda, Baylding and Emden. Who are the three of you...?”
Faced with Jingyao’s guests, Hansel didn’t dare to make excuses and politely asked about his identity, although he still couldn’t help but tell him his title.
The older young man sitting in the middle slowly stood up and said with a smile:
"Baron Abbott, it is a great pleasure to see you, and It's nice to see you in such good health, both physically and mentally. My name is Gerd Rodney, maybe you've heard of me."
Rodney?
The royal family?
Hansel was shocked.
Wait, Gerd Rodney?
Isn’t he the eldest son of His Majesty the King’s younger brother, Prince Jassim Rodney?
Soon, Hansel's head started spinning at high speed.
Duke Gerd has a pair of twin brothers - August Rodney and Eureko Rodney. Are these two beside him?
Hansel's face instantly changed into a solemn expression.
"Three noble lords, please forgive me for being a little far away. Lord Earl, please sit down."
Eureko Rodney sat down again with a smile, Hansel Then ask the servant to make tea again with the best tea leaves in the house.
"This is my brother - August Rodney." Gerd pointed to the brother on his left.
August Rodney had a gentle expression. After hearing his brother introduce himself, he stood up immediately, gave Hansel a slightly shy smile, and even raised his hand to make a gesture to Hansel. The gesture of saying hello gives the impression that he must be an easy-going, humble and shy person in daily life.
"This is my other brother-Eureko Rodney." Gerd pointed to the brother on his right.
Unlike his twin brother, Eureko Rodney looked very arrogant. He only nodded slightly to Hansel and remained motionless on the sofa.
Hansel saluted them one by one.
He asked: "I don't know what important matters the three adults came to the Northwest Bay for. Do you need me to do anything for you?"
"The main reason is that I came here for something, and my two younger brothers are Come with me and see the world."
Gelder said as he took out a letter and handed it to Hansel.
“The purpose of my trip is all in this letter.”
Looking at the signature on the envelope, Hansel felt a storm in his heart. He carefully opened the envelope with slightly trembling hands.
Read carefully word by word.
“…I have ordered Earl Gerd to go to the Northwest Gulf as the plenipotentiary representative of the royal family to discuss with Count Paul Graiman, Duke Henry Ferdinand and other ministers of the Northwest Gulf the introduction of the second industry into the royal territory. Regarding related matters, as the representative of the royal family in the Northwest Bay, you must assist Count Gerd in completing this matter..."
Then the opening scene happened.
Except for personal connections such as his family and friends, Hansel’s only contact with the Jingyao Kingdom’s government is the unpleasant Viscount Aiden of the kingdom’s intelligence department, and this guy seems to have put himself I forgot, I haven’t received a message in half a year.
Hansel didn't even know whether he was a royal representative part-time and Alda's agricultural director or Alda's agricultural director part-time a royal representative.
Why did the king write to him personally all of a sudden?
I am so flattered!
Hansel read the contents of the letter three times over and over again.
Looking at his actions, Eureko Rodney was very disdainful and quietly said to his brother: "After all, he is the son of a prostitute with low bloodline. He pretended to be a dog at the beginning. , now that the letter from His Majesty the King has been revealed.”
Gerd gave his brother a roll of his eyes and told him to shut up.
Hansel took a lot of effort to calm down his excitement and talk about business with the three guests.
“So, His Majesty the King plans to develop industry and commerce in the royal territory?”
“Yes.” Gerd spread his hands, “Baron Abbott, I believe you also know about the Jingyao Gathering. A large number of southern nobles who lost their territories, right?”
Southern nobles? I see.
Hansel knew about this group of people from the letter from home, and also knew that this group of people caused a headache to the royal government.
"To tell you the truth, His Majesty the King is worried that these nobles may cause trouble if they sit idle all day long, so he wants to find something for them to do."
"I understand..."
Hansel looked thoughtful.
Gelder continued: "After thinking about it, we can try to get these people to devote themselves to industry and commerce, especially that...that manufacturing industry. If they can make some achievements, it can also contribute to the kingdom's economy. Contribute to prosperity ”
Hansel responded: "His Majesty the King is really far-sighted."
Gelder asked with some uncertainty: "Uh... Baron Abbott, do you think... it's feasible?"
< br>"It's feasible! It's so feasible! Industry and commerce can definitely accumulate wealth faster than collecting taxes and rents from a few pieces of farmland. In fact, I have written several letters of proposal to Baron Eden. Why, didn't he give Do you see it? "
Gelder was a little bit more convinced that his little cousin Eileen said this.
That Viscount Eden is really a fool who blocks the way of speech.
But he still asked with some uneasiness: "From what I know, the Northwest Gulf has already taken a step forward. As a result, will our development in the south encounter strong competition?"
Han Serge waved his hand: "Your Majesty, count, you can rest assured that according to the current situation, the development of industry and commerce is definitely a profitable business - it only needs to be coordinated with a few other measures."
A few other measures?
Gelder smiled bitterly in his heart, couldn't it be what Eileen said?
If you like it, don’t forget to vote!
