Chapter 49 The Kingdom’s Complex Situation
“Do you have a problem with me?”
It seemed that Li Si’s serious expression meant that he had something serious to do. Yasen nodded and stood up.
"Go to my room?"
"Okay."
Li Si put the raincoat aside and followed Yasen directly to his room.
Although Ya'er and others were curious, they had no intention of eavesdropping. If Li Si was willing to talk to them, he wouldn't have gone into the room.
Yasen's room is on the east side of the first floor of the villa. In addition to a simple bed and wardrobe, there are many different styles of long swords and armor neatly placed on the shelves nearby.
Seeing Li Si looking at the weapons and armor, Yasen said:
"This is a little hobby of mine. I like to collect these. Some of them were cast by the dwarf master, and the others were cast by me. Purchased from other countries by trustees.”
Li Si nodded and verified that it was a costly hobby. He finally found out that Yasen looked like a wealthy man.
"Stop talking, why do you want to see me so seriously?"
Yasen changed the subject, moved two chairs, and asked Li Si to sit down.
"You also know that I rarely communicate with other nobles. If I want to ask something, I can only ask you."
Li Si said slowly, the person he thought of before was Ya So sad.
As the young master of Duke Harder's family, the top nobleman in the Fes Kingdom, he naturally has an understanding of the general situation at the top of the kingdom.
As a teammate of the adventure group, during his contact with Yasen, Li Si felt that the future leader of the Golden Lion Knights in front of him could be trusted.
“What do you want to know?”
Yasen is a little curious. Is there something that cannot be learned through other means and can only be asked by other nobles?
"That's it. Do you know who among the nobles of the kingdom now would want to trigger a foreign war if, if possible, it's possible?"
Li Si considered his words and spoke slowly to Yasen.
Yasen was shocked when he heard this, and the youngest son of the Duke, who was always calm, almost lost his temper.
“Do you know what you are talking about?”
Li Si’s face remained unchanged, he raised his head and stared at Yasen seriously, and said:
“I’m pretty sure what I’m talking about. What, can you tell me?”
Yasen raised his right hand and rubbed his temples. He had a headache. He really didn't expect Li Si to ask such a sensitive question.
To be honest, through recent contact and understanding, I feel that Li Si is a very worthy person to make friends with. Most of the rumors I have heard about Viscount Kane before are probably unrealistic and fictional.
He is a low-key and calm genius!
Li Si asked me for help, and of course I was willing to provide as much help as I could.
This is the tradition of the Hard family.
Make fewer enemies and make more friends.
But being busy doesn’t mean it’s helpful!
If you say this casually, it will bring big trouble to the Hard family.
But Li Si is probably not such an obscure person.
Yasen raised his head and looked at Li Si’s firm gaze, thought about it, and said:
"Can I know why you said that?"
Li Si nodded and said directly what he had planned in advance:
"To be honest, I got the news from other places, maybe There will be people who want to cause a war between the kingdom and other countries, so I want to know who in the kingdom has this tendency. "Is there such a thing?"
No Yasen. I don’t believe Li Si, but this continent has been peaceful for a long time. Under the mediation of the Church of the Gods, any conflicts and disputes between the kingdoms will be mediated in advance. There has not been a large-scale war of aggression for a long time.
The most recent skirmish was a thousand-man-level army confrontation on the border between the Kingdom of Fes and the Kingdom of Norton in the West a few years ago.
But Li Si knew that after so many years, even with the mediation of the Church of the Gods, the accumulated conflicts and the demands of various kingdoms for development were like an ever-expanding explosive barrel, and all it needed was the last spark to detonate. .
As for Yasen, he knew the dissatisfaction of some nobles. They felt that their development had been stagnant for many years and they urgently needed a new window for improvement.
Ya Sen did not take some of the previous news seriously. After all, noble gentlemen complained about many things, such as the recent operas not having any new ideas, and their children not being as good as themselves.
But when Li Si mentioned the possibility of war today, Yasen did not consider it, so that he had to evaluate the probability of a war actually breaking out.
Li Si said in a very sure tone:
"The actual situation is like this. The information I got is true and reliable, but I can't tell you the source of the information. You understand the specific reasons."
Yasen Nodding, this may be related to the Kane family's heritage and resources, so naturally I can't tell myself everything.
Thinking of this, Yasen couldn't sit still. He stood up and walked back and forth in the room, thinking rapidly in his mind.
After a while, Li Si thought that Yasen still had not made up his mind and planned to add fuel to the fire.
At this moment, Yasen stopped and stood in front of the window with his back to Li Si, as if admiring the scene of the July thunderstorm outside the window.
Ya Sen faced the window and seemed to be talking to himself, but his voice reached Li Si's ears clearly.
“The Duke of Ram in the east of the kingdom has always claimed that the kingdom should have its own outlet to the sea, and those Berdychs should not be allowed to earn a large amount of gold coins from the kingdom in vain.”
“Finance Minister Bligh Fujit said that the growth of taxation has not kept pace with various kingdom expenditures, and new financial sources must be found."
"The number of nobles in the kingdom's court is increasing, and the burden on the royal family is also increasing. At the same time, the desire and demands of the court nobles for owning territory are becoming more and more intense.”
Good guy, Yasen knows a lot.
As Li Si listened, he kept in mind that there might be someone behind the scenes among these people.
Ya Sen turned his head and said to Li Si seriously:
"Only you can know these things yourself. You should know how much trouble it will cause if it spreads."
Li Si It is clear that talking casually before the matter is clarified will only cause trouble for oneself, and will also arouse the vigilance of the mastermind behind the scenes.
"I know, thank you Yasen."
Yasen thought for a while and said carefully:
"You have to treat this matter carefully, if there is anything else If you have any news, you can come to me.”
In Yasen’s view, as a marginalized person in the aristocratic circle, Li Si can get such crucial information. It seems that his hidden power is not simple, and he deserves to go deeper. Make good friends.
And Yasen just realized that the intelligence that he had not cared about before was connected as a whole, and the cloud of war seemed to be covering the entire Kingdom of Fes and even the entire continent.
It seems that I need to go back and communicate with my father about this matter.
After all, as the king’s confidant, his father should know more than himself.
Li Si nodded. Yasen's words were equivalent to a promise to himself, and he might give him limited help in this matter. This was already an unexpected surprise.
After all, Yasen is not a time traveler, so he cannot be as sure as himself that a war will break out in the future.
"I will pay attention to what you say recently, and I will notify you of new news."
"Okay, I'll go back first!"
Li Si put on his raincoat, said hello to Ya'er and the others, then went out and walked into the rain curtain.
I wish everyone a happy National Day, and thank you all for your support
