The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem

After Aarons publicly declared his support for the third prince Roland Armand to inherit the throne, the negative public opinion that had been raging quickly cooled down.

The reason was actually very simple - the original rumor was just to create momentum among the people, making ordinary people think that Aarons was not of good origin. Fortunately, when the empire officially announced the cancellation of the princess's engagement, it did not cause so much controversy.

But Aarons directly brought out the third prince, who originally had little presence, and made his intention to support the third prince in his fight for the throne public to the entire empire.

——In this way, the nature of the whole matter has changed.

"Originally, the fight over the marriage contract was at most an internal fight among the nobles. But now that I have linked this matter to the fight for the right to inherit the throne, they have to change their strategy."

"Actually, I still don't quite understand, brother-in-law... since they dare to casually cancel the engagement of the royal sister, why do they have to consider my existence?"

Because Aarons and Clary have publicly confirmed their relationship, the third prince Loran also began to enter and leave his house openly.

And today, the young prince came specifically to ask Aarons for advice.

"Then let me ask you first. Everyone knows that these great nobles can overthrow the rule of the royal family as long as they unite, but why have they never thought of doing so, and instead used their own resources to maintain the reputation of the royal family and support a certain prince to inherit the throne?"

"Are they...scared?"

"That's right, but they are not afraid of the Armand family, but the people."

Roland, who had never heard of this theory before, was immediately intrigued.

He had seen Aarons' memories at his sister's place a long time ago, so he knew that his brother-in-law actually possessed a lot of different knowledge.

"It is not the nobles and the powerful who truly maintain the normal operation of the country, but the ordinary people. Food, minerals, trade, industry, almost every one of them is managed and maintained by ordinary people who have no fighting ability."

Although Aarons only knew some superficial knowledge, it was enough to teach a future emperor who had a strong understanding.

"Look at what those capable fighters are doing. There are relatively few magicians, so they may be able to find high-end technical jobs. But most combatants can only be mercenaries, either fighting monsters or doing dirty work for others."

"Brother-in-law, are you saying that... in fact, most warriors need to rely on ordinary people for support to survive?"

"You're really smart... That's right, most of those guys can't contribute any productivity at all. Even if there is a demand for Warcraft materials in industry, there are too many warriors."

Because most people who can release fighting spirit subconsciously feel that they are superior to ordinary people, they basically will not choose ordinary people's jobs.

"You said that fighting spirit warriors can also farm or mine? That's not impossible, but then they would be no different from ordinary people, and it wouldn't matter whether they have fighting spirit or not."

"That is to say, many combat professionals look very glorious, but in fact they are just consuming the output of ordinary people..."

"The same goes for the nobles. Without the support of ordinary people, they wouldn't even have a problem with where to get their next meal."

Although the strong in this world can indeed use their strength to forcibly control some ordinary people and make them contribute their labor for free, in history, most of those who did so were eventually killed by ordinary people. Even if they did not die, they would be disgraced and hated by everyone.

——Precisely because it is impossible to achieve absolute control through sheer strength, status and power become even more important.

"Nobles also need to eat and sleep. If they want to ensure the quality of their lives, they must find a way to win the support of ordinary people."

"Ordinary people don't support the nobles' usurpation of the throne?"

"After all, the name of this empire is still Armand, so most of the people in the empire still agree with the rule of the Armand family. If a noble wants to overthrow this family, he must first gain the support of a part of the people."

The problem actually lies in this support - the people of the empire are not living in dire straits, most of them lead an ordinary life with enough food and clothing, and even have the opportunity to pursue higher goals.

"In such a stable environment, what would happen if a noble suddenly came out and said he wanted to overthrow the emperor and become the ruler of a country, and asked the people in the territory to fully support his decision?"

“No one will support it…”

"That's right. This is not a time of chaos. Ordinary people have their own lives. Who would really be willing to support their lord in rebelling against the country? And there is another question. Since you want to usurp the throne, why can't others think about it?"

Precisely because usurping the throne would not have the support of the people at all, and because they had to guard against other nobles of similar power, after weighing the pros and cons, the nobles decided to support the emperor's rule on the surface and use the emperor's reputation to control the people.

"So this is the crux of the problem - the great nobles are not actually united, they are just maintaining a delicate balance. And they are privately supporting the two princes in their fight for the right of succession, which is actually restraining each other."

"So that's how it is. It's because of my sudden entrance at this time... that the nobles, who were already divided into two factions, are starting to worry about the third force, right?"

"You are really suitable to be the emperor... Anyway, that's it. I have already given them a head start, and I guess someone will come to you soon to pledge their loyalty."

Although the eldest prince has a higher chance of succeeding to the throne, because there are too many people supporting him, each person will get very little in the end. And those who support the second prince may lose everything, but if they win the bet, they can earn several times or even dozens of times more.

For the sake of profit, there will always be gamblers willing to take risks - and the third prince who has just entered the market happens to be a new option with super high odds.

"Because those who don't intend to support you openly may also bet on you, so you can just take their chips with peace of mind and use these resources to build your own power."

"Brother-in-law, after listening to what you just said...I think I should first win the support of ordinary people."

What Aarons didn't expect was that after thinking for a while, the young prince actually said something quite thoughtful.

"Since our current life is accumulated by the labor of ordinary people, then wouldn't it be redundant for me to win over those nobles? I think it would be better for me to directly listen to the ideas of ordinary people and exchange their support by meeting their needs... Isn't this better?"

“…Isn’t your version a bit ahead of its time?”

Aarons never expected that this little prince, who was not even an adult yet, would have such a high level of understanding and awareness - maybe he really was the most suitable person to become the next emperor.

"Well, just do whatever you want. I'll just be responsible for giving you some advice from behind."

"Brother-in-law, why don't you be the emperor... After you marry my sister, you will be considered a member of my family, so there shouldn't be any problem."

"…Should I ask your sister to come and beat you up first?"

Aarons doesn't want to be an emperor, he still prefers his current life.

That position that you have no choice about should be given to the most suitable person.
