Transmigration of the bastard lord

"heavy snowstorm……"

January [-], noon.

In the Supervision Department on the second floor of the city hall, the fireplace is full of fire, and the whole room is as warm as spring.Count Sig Flandy was wearing only a loose nightgown, stepped on the carpet with bare feet, and was lazily leaning against the window with a cup of steaming soybean milk in his hand.

The entire Anpu City is covered in silver, and there are few pedestrians on the street.The sky was foggy, and large flakes of snowflakes were still falling one after another.From a distance, the only thing that is a bit angry is the black smoke rising from the tall chimneys in the factory area outside the city.

"Did something happen again at Peggy's Farm?" Sig tilted his head slightly, looking at Miss Mary who was fidgeting on the sofa not far behind.

"Ah, yes. It is said that the duck house in the farm was crushed by the snow... There is also a problem with a batch of winter wheat seedlings..." Miss Mary said reluctantly.

Seeger turned his gaze out of the window: "Selina, Wendy, and Nancy's self-criticisms have been handed in."

"Well... yes." Miss Mary said hesitantly, "Count, there are bean products and wool spinning factories in the Oddington territory, and the Hunter Association asked if they belong to us..."

Sig stretched his waist and moved his neck: "Leave them alone. Bean products and wool control are not great crafts, and it's normal for someone to imitate them. They are also considered smart, and they won't compete with us in Hyderside. Ma How about Qicheng?"

A very strange expression suddenly appeared on Miss Mary's face, and her voice raised slightly: "A dozen families who are in opposition to the mayor have united to raise a large sum of money...but the strange thing is that these funds did not appear in the sea. Desai, but shipped to Oddington Territory, seems to plan to build a factory..."

Sig yawned, but his tone was still so indifferent: "The old Hydesside nobles have a good relationship with the Oddington nobles..."

Miss Mary's face was serious, and she emphasized her tone: "Count, Mr. Borg found out that they are carrying out a cement project. Can this be ignored?"

Sig was finally willing to turn his head and glance at Miss Mary, the unconcealed disdain in his calm eyes made Miss Mary cringe and lean back: "You also participated in tampering with the cement formula that Henry stole...you are I really think those guys can make cement just based on that list? Let alone the finished products produced by our cement factory, it will take many years to catch up with the defective products sold in the alchemy room... Yours Have your confidence and intelligence been cut by the barber along with your hair?"

Since Lilith showed short hair like Nina, women have set off a trend of short hair.Mary unconsciously touched the stubble on the back of her head, her face was red and white.

"Alchemy experiments have always been a money-burning thing... I don't know how long the funds they raised will last? How about it, Mary, are you interested in going to the city of Marquis to get an underground loan shark?" Seeger lazily walked back Sitting on the sofa in the middle of the room, put one foot on the coffee table, pressing down the pile of documents on the coffee table.

"...I don't think I'm as capable as Mr. Simon..." Miss Mary's forehead was sweating.

Seeger's eyes gradually turned cold, and he stared at Mary: "You woman... I brought it out with my own hands after all. Where did you learn this cowardly look?"

Mary protested a little: "Not everyone can be like you and Mr. Simon, respectable Earl." If you are as thick-skinned as you are, the world will be over!

Blue veins appeared on Sig's forehead: "You who added saltpeter and several explosives to the cement ingredient list...is it appropriate to say that to others?"

Mary felt guilty, and said other things: "Well, Earl, Mr. Andrew seems to be very dissatisfied with the dullness on the farm these two days... Shall I let Henry go to Hein Farm in the name of appeasement?"

"...Henry has made unexpected money these days?" Seeger said holding back his anger.

"Yes, the rut marks of the carriage driving into his house are very exaggerated." Mary said quickly, "Can you take out the chemical fertilizer ingredient list prepared earlier? The several minerals in it happened to be scattered in Maqi City, and we are jealous. People who produce crops will definitely want to grab the mine as soon as possible, and eagerly want to produce results before spring plowing. You said that the tight time and the benefits at your fingertips can always make people make mistakes in judgment..."

"Okay, let Brenda do this, she won't make Henry wary without knowing anything." Seeger's eyelids twitched slightly.

"Yes, Earl, I'll go right away." Mary responded, got up and ran away like flying, as if something was chasing her.It is okay to fight a little without violating the Earl's main interests, but you must remember that you will never stay behind and let the Earl take care of it. After countless times of blood and tears, Miss Mary already knows this very well.

Seeger drank the hot soy milk slowly, got up, put on his shoes and changed his clothes, wrapped his clothes tightly, hooked his fingers at Daniel, and pushed the door to go out.

The corridor separated by the door and the leisurely Supervision Department are two different worlds. From time to time in the corridor, people holding documents walk by quickly. The door of the small conference room diagonally opposite is half open, and the staff inside are almost overwhelmed by the mountain of documents. .

A group of field staff from the Department of Civil Affairs who were measuring the terrain in the wind and snow had just returned, and a group of middle and low-level managers who looked like old farmers were gesturing at the map.The Department of Social Affairs set up a welfare home to adopt abandoned babies before winter came, but at this moment, it was the Nth exchange meeting because of the treatment of the first batch of adopted abandoned babies, and the quarrel could be heard behind closed doors.Ms. Nina, who holds multiple positions in the employment management office, is losing her temper because the number of teachers for the new people's trainees has not been enough.

Seeger walked slowly through the hallway with a very inappropriate lazy gait, which was particularly eye-catching in the busy crowd.When several office workers who were now black and blue pushed a small trolley full of documents from various departments to pass by the two of them, the Earl even rudely yawned a long, extremely leisurely yawn, which caused a lot of excitement. glare.

Seemingly unable to see the dimly busy agencies and departments, Sig lazily said to Daniel casually: "It's really peaceful, isn't it, Daniel."

Daniel with a blank face: "..."

In the reception room on the first floor of the city hall, Fu Youguang, Daisy, Sarina and the others were discussing the crop cultivation plan during the spring plowing period with a map of the entire Hydesey territory.During the trip to the imperial capital, many species of seeds were obtained, and some of the seeds have already been raised in greenhouses.What kind of crops are planted in which areas, and how to use the existing land to maximize the benefits are not things that can be decided by brainstorming.

Among the participants were Mr. Davis who gave up dragging Fu Youguang to the path of spellcasting, and who has been quieter recently, and the dwarf plant hunter who has joined the castle follower system and has also integrated into Hydersay.

When Sig pushed the door and entered, the female dwarf was meeting with Daisy to discuss the soil quality of a certain area, and Borg was going around the corner to persuade Fu Youguang to take back the land suitable for cultivation in the jurisdiction of Ampcheng; his reason It is those farmlands that are more valuable than the overall planning of the castle because they are wasted by small farmers or free people. Fu Youguang rubbed his chin and hesitated. Small farmers are fine. Before all the free people around Anpucheng have joined, joined agricultural companies, or found other ways of making a living, the radical land policy will cause a lot of trouble.

Seeger's interest is not in reform. He now has a little bit of self-consciousness for the sake of others, but don't expect him to put the survival of ordinary civilians in his eyes like Brother Guang.With a calm face, he walked into the room with steady steps, approached Fu Youguang without showing any signs of dew, and suddenly made a swift move, pulling Brother Guang's back collar, and sprinkled a handful of snow into it.

"Hiss!" The sudden cold stimulation made Fu Youguang's face appear ridiculously distorted, and Borg, who was closest to him, sprayed out a mouthful of tea; Ge clapped his hands like a normal person, and sat down next to Brother Guang calmly, with a calm face as if nothing had happened.

"...Are you coming every day to your aunt?" Fu Youguang stood up and shook his clothes dumbfounded.

"Your statement is sexist," Seager pointed out calmly.

"Discriminate against your sister!"

"That's fine."

"..." Fu Youguang held his forehead, and waved his hands impatiently, "Go and play, the adults are doing business."

"As the chief boss, you are obliged to take responsibility for your subordinate's misconduct." Sig raised his eyebrows, "Mary has been contradicting me more and more smoothly recently, this is inseparable from your indulgence, this kind of harmless prank is nothing. "

"You're 27 years old brother! I'm calling you brother! If you're bored, can you go out and play by yourself!" Fu Youguang roared.

Seeger narrowed his eyes in disgust: "I'll be out in a while... it's just to pass the time now. You are too irritable."

"Who are you showing that distasteful attitude to provoke me when you are too idle? I should be the one who dislikes you!" Brother Guang complained.

After making some troubles for Fu Youguang, Sieg went out happily.Instead of sitting in his ostentatious house-shaped carriage, he randomly chose a two-wheeled official car of the city hall, and then grabbed a "strong man"; In this world, the earl is still living a carefree and unrestrained life today.

"It's such a thin carriage, no wonder it's so cold." Putting on an extra coat and still feeling a bit of coolness spreading from the outside to the inside, the Earl was critical and knocked on the wooden carriage with disgust.

"...Earl, I have a meeting later..." Another voice in the carriage said weakly.

Vivienne, who was innocently arrested as a "strong man", had the urge to burst into tears. She was so busy that she had time to go downstairs to eat something. She just picked up the plate and rushed into the cafeteria when Sig saw her. She pulled it out; sitting in the carriage, she was still holding the steaming Chinese food in both hands, and she didn't take a bite. This sad reminder is simply...

"Eat your food first, Vivienne." Seeger said something reassuring. Before Vivienne could be moved, the next sentence choked her to death, "I need you to be a witness later. Well, it’s troublesome if you get dizzy from hunger.”

Although the current earl is much easier to get along with than before, there is still a sense of powerlessness in the castle system facing Sieg Frandi... The aggrieved Vivienne holds the plate in one hand and the fork in the other, and the food of the past It was dull under Sig's gaze.

There are very few pedestrians on the wide main road, and occasionally one or two carriages pass by.Most of the shops on both sides were closed, and it was much quieter than before the snow became bigger.

Sig, who was sitting quietly, closed his eyes and rested his mind. Hearing the sound of large snowflakes falling on the roof of the car, he said inexplicably: "This year's snow seems to be a bit heavier."

"..." Vivian worked hard to eat, no matter what she was going to face next, she had to fill her stomach first.

Seeger had no expression on his face, and lifted the curtain to look outside.

At least one-fifth of the wheels of the passing carriage were sunk into the snow layer... This was the road surface after the cleaners cleaned it in the morning.

Sig narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes deep.He never cared about the weather in the past. Anyway, no matter what the weather is, it has nothing to do with him, a powerful nobleman.

At this moment, he remembered what Mary said not long ago. Although the person in charge at Peggy's Farm was broken and the reform progress could not keep up, no matter how much money was deducted, the duck house, which is the key point, could not be easily suppressed. collapse.

A cold light flashed in his eyes, combined with the memory of Fu Youguang, Sig had a vague premonition.

The duck house can be crushed, so those free people...

"Vivienne, last year's fund summary report is out, how much activity funds can the castle use now?" Sig said suddenly.

Vivian looked at Sig strangely, and reported a set of numbers.Seeger, who was used to wealth, couldn't help being moved when he heard this number, and glanced at Vivian.

"It's just over a year, can you make money like this?" Sig chuckled, and the coldness in his eyes disappeared.That guy has a solid foundation, even if it is really a snowstorm, it's not a big problem.Moreover, this is also a good time to subdue the free people and take back the land...

As soon as his eyes rolled, Sig came up with several ideas, and vetoed most of them on his own; thinking that the rest of them would probably fail at Fu Youguang's side, Sig, who rarely thought about people's livelihood issues, immediately felt impatient , Sweeping these thoughts out of my mind.

The carriage drove on Central Avenue for a while, and stopped in front of a luxurious hotel.

"Come to a table." Sig ordered casually, and Daniel, who handed the carriage to the doorman, hurried over to give the messenger a tip.

Vivienne followed Sig into the lobby of the hotel with her mind full of lawsuits, and was led by the waiter into the VIP area of ​​the restaurant.Sigala took out a chair with his back to the outside and signaled Vivienne to sit down, frowned and looked at Vivienne's very revealing short coat, and put his coat on her.

The flattered Vivienne was sweating down her temples, did the Earl take the wrong medicine?Is such a gentle and considerate Earl really that Sig Frandi?Could it be that the two of them played some kind of prank game where they switched identities? !

Vivienne, whose brain is so open to the sky, couldn't help secretly looking at Sig. Under the coat, he was wearing a more casual casual suit, a light-colored high-necked shirt with a round-necked dark vest, and handmade narrow-sleeved bibs with shoulder pads. The button-breasted jacket, the belt is simple and low-key brown, the trousers and riding boots are the same color as the jacket, and if you look carefully, you can see the dark gold thread added to the textile process; it looks ordinary from head to toe, but it is actually expensive pressing.

Vivienne quickly dispelled the idea that it might be Mr. Guang's disguise. Brother Guang's clothes are always practical, and he can wear blue work clothes for a long time if not necessary.Besides, although the Earl and Mr. Guang are exactly the same in appearance, they are so different in temperament that it is impossible to confuse them no matter how blind they are.

Not to mention Vivienne who was distracted, Seager himself chose a seat with his back to the hall and sat down in a lazy and casual posture. He poured some wine and sipped it slowly. The self-consciousness of actively offering hospitality and enlivening the atmosphere.

Sig, who saw the time, didn't wait long, and the target appeared.Only one of the three young nobles who met once more than ten days ago came, and did not bring a large group of people who were shouting and hugging. After entering the restaurant, they chose a quiet place and sat down, taking out their pocket watches from time to time. Look, it seems to be waiting for someone.

Not many people are willing to go out in this weather, and there are only a few tables of guests in the entire restaurant.Not half an hour after the young aristocrat who was dressed up in fashion and had a rather handsome appearance sat down, the person he was waiting for came.This handsome young nobleman, who is very attractive to women, can't see the arrogance of being a high-class person at all, and his cheerful smile is like the summer sunshine. He leaves his seat and trots out to meet her female companion, courteous Gradually picked up the purse for her, took her to the seat very gentlemanly, opened the chair for her, and invited her to take a seat.

Vivienne, who was stuffed with a small mirror by the earl, witnessed the whole process of the young "couple" happily meeting each other and taking their seats sweetly. The expressions on her face ranged from doubt to shock to dismay, and her upper body was almost horrified. He propped himself up on the dining table, his eyes widened, his face was terribly pale, and cold sweat dripped down his chin onto the tablecloth.

"That guy is a son of the Longfellow family in March City, Alman Longfellow. Although he is an ignorant gangster, his appearance is very pleasing to women. Longfellow is not a powerful family. In the first half of last year, he once He was so poor that he couldn't keep his own manor... Now the Longfellow family not only has a certain status in March City, this Arman can also spend a lot of money in this hotel's long-term private room with a bunch of cronies in various sensual places... Sig, who didn't look in that direction, tilted his head slightly, and his eyes fell on the wine glass in his hand, as if it was a work of art worth admiring, "The so-called loyalty is just not enough chips for betrayal for men. For a woman, she has yet to meet a lover who can make her fall in love... Vivian, what do you think?"

"...!" Vivienne pinched the lens hard, her eyebrows were curved inward, the skin of her nose was wrinkled, her upper lip was shrunk, and she bit her lower lip tightly to suppress the sadness that was about to come out; she did have a vague premonition , but it was still hard for her to accept seeing this kind of thing happen in front of her eyes, "...why...it happened..."

After Vivienne finished speaking, her whole body became depressed, unbearable tears finally came out of her eyes, and her shoulders shrugged slightly.

"No matter which city, the person who runs the casino must be the one with the dominant power in the city... who can open the door for others to open several casinos in a few days, except for the person who used to be my woman... …Don’t think about it.” Seeger looked away from the wine glass and looked at Vivienne who lowered her head sadly, and there seemed to be a bit of irony in her calm tone, “This is really embarrassing. You women who followed him in the first place are very preferential treatment, even Amy's kind...he can't bear to give up. I can tease Henry without scruples, lift him high enough to let him fall, and do whatever I want Laughing at his stupidity. But, with 'her' . . . if I did the same, the guy would beat me up for her, I have no doubts about that."

The author has something to say: Little Theater

Female dwarf: ...The earl's behavior is really like a child who bullies the girl he likes...Huh?What are you all looking at me for?
