Chapter 441: Being the City Lord Is Too Boring, I Don’t Want to Be One Anymore
"I want to become the city lord, what do I need to do to get your help?" Tenasi Corleone is very direct. Since the other party has to be so straightforward, what else can he hide? The Corleone family has always been strong. Sir, why did my brother become the city lord? Didn’t he rely on the strength of his great knight? I am also a great knight now, so there is no reason why I should be any worse than my brother who is full of laughter and has no dignity.
Weir showed a proper expression, "My identity determines my needs. As a favored person of God, I need to promote the greatness of God, develop more believers, and purify the filth in the world. Therefore, let the entire Mabst City Being shrouded in the light of the gods and reducing the filth in hell and the world as much as possible is the first point, and this is what Nobby is helping me to do. After you become the city lord, can you do more and better than him? "
Tenasi Corleone thought about their recent actions carefully. He had also studied the Gods Exhibition Hall and even experienced it personally. It was indeed very good. He would not refuse this kind of flattery to the church. It was just the right of the gods. Being overweight is not a good thing for him, so he hesitated.
Sure enough, the church is short-sighted. The church cannot directly control believers. They can only control the temple knights. Of course, now other professionals related to the church of gods gradually appear in Lord Drake's territory. Most of these people can also be controlled by the church, probably.
Weir couldn't help but shook his head slightly, "Tenasi, if Nobby can't be the city lord because his personality is too easy-going, then the reason why you are not suitable to be the city lord is because you have a superficial vision and lack of ability. It is not that easy to be the city lord. If you don't even know the most basic things, If the church and the city lord, the divine power and the royal power, cannot handle the body and spirit well, and cannot achieve a good balance, then the city lord will be a great burden to you, and it will ultimately harm others and yourself. "
"You and I are not as capable as Nobby?" Tenasi Corleone's eyes widened and he couldn't believe his ears. Whether in school or on the battlefield, his intelligence has always been praised, and The careless brother has always been a negative example.
"You are better than Nobby in matters because you have good intelligence, but in big things you are far inferior to Nobby because he has great wisdom and courage." Will asked casually: "To give the simplest example, Dirk Lord Lan leads the four major churches to jointly release a series of sacred products and occupy three of the Gods Park. What will you do? "
Tenasi Corleone was stunned for a moment, and the words he almost blurted out were suppressed by him. What should he do? Of course it was blocked, wait? Has this been prevented?
"I will apply, allow them to use it, and give them the greatest convenience." Tenasi Corleone thought about it carefully and gave his answer. Secretly, he also wanted to control these things in his own hands. Zheng
"Then do you know what Nobby would do? As a qualified and even discerning city lord." Will asked back. Tenasi Corleone knew his brother very well. Think about it, what would he do if he were his brother? ?
"He will leave the matter directly to you, and then ask Baron Walter to cooperate fully, and finally he will bring a group of good friends to support him." Tenacy Corleone gave the big answer, but this answer was not him What I want, why would such a move be a qualified city lord’s approach?
Weier shook his head slightly, "If you only see this, then I can tell you without any politeness that your understanding of your brother is too superficial. Nobby, look, what would you do if it were you? "?" Weier's voice was slightly high, and he looked at the Lord Corleone who was tasting wine alone not far away.
Tenasi Corleone shuddered. He actually knew nothing about his brother's arrival. You must know that he was a great knight. Why didn't he notice his brother's arrival? Even though this was a banquet hall with too many distractions,
You shouldn't be touched by someone three meters away without knowing anything about it. And, how did this boy find out? His brother should obviously be in the blind spot of his sight.
"I will order Baron Walter to fully cooperate with you." Nobby Corleone's words made Tenasi nodded slightly, that's it, but what the Lord Corleone said next made him a little confused, "Then he issued an official document to announce to the whole city, and Send messengers quickly to inform all the territorial lords in the county to attend the ceremony in person or by appointing heirs.”
Is this unreasonable? !
"Why?" Tenasi looked straight at his brother, wondering why he would do this?
Nobby Corleone looked at his younger brother, with a trace of indelible regret and a trace of pampering in his eyes, "For the peace of Mabst County, and for all the nobles of Mabst to take a step forward."
"I don't understand." Tenasi really doesn't understand. Wouldn't doing this greatly increase the influence of the church? Why will it make Mabst County more peaceful and the nobility further.
"New and good things are unstoppable. Instead of letting them develop slowly and grow little by little, it is better to focus on customers and control them before they become popular. Even if you cannot control technology and production, you must control channels and The final control is in your hands. Restriction and suppression are all methods. It may be feasible for ordinary people, but it is not applicable to Lord Drake. Your method will only be counterproductive." Nobby Corleone's voice was very soft, but it fell on Tenasi. There was a thunderbolt in Corleone's ears. Could this be what his careless brother could say?
"Are you surprised?" Nobby Corleone's eyes flashed with a faint light. He looked at his brother and shook his head gently: "I have never been a stupid and reckless man. The reason why I behave carelessly is because of my personality. That's it. Secondly, it's because many people want me to do this, so I do it. But this doesn't mean that I am really a fool. I have been a city lord for more than ten years and can take care of Mabst County. Well organized, do you think I really didn’t do anything?”
"As the lord of Mabst City, in addition to his own strength, he also needs to have a high-minded vision and be able to coordinate the interests of most people and enforce orders and prohibitions! Prestige and hope are indispensable. You only see some young people The second generation seems to have a lot of complaints about me, but haven't you seen that all those old foxes are very honest?" Nobby Corleone smiled coldly: "They know very well that I will not offend others for my words, and I will not speak out. Those guys take it seriously, and as long as they don’t violate the bottom line, I won’t do anything to them.”
"But this can't be an excuse for you to rebel against me. It's okay to indulge you in your behavior, but it's not okay to smash plates and pots. The bottom line cannot be violated." Nobby Corleone patted Tenasi's shoulder, "You want to become the city lord, I I’ll give you a chance, but whether you can succeed in the end depends on your own ability.”
Tenasi, who was originally shocked and speechless by his brother, couldn't help but trembled when he heard this. He couldn't believe his ears. He raised his head and looked at his biological brother and asked in confusion: "Why?"
Nobby Corleone drank the wine in the glass and said calmly: "Because it's boring. Being a city lord who keeps things in order is too boring. There is no passion at all. After being a city lord for more than ten years, I have spent all my time on work. I don’t even have one tenth of the energy to do it casually. If I weren’t really tired of this boring life and was too lazy, do you really think that those methods can be hidden from me?”
"You can be rude. Even if I fall or slack off, I can turn the tide and push you into the abyss at any time if I want. My background is beyond your imagination. More than ten years of life as a city lord has brought me something It's not something you young people can understand. You are still too immature!" Lord Corleone's aura was rising steadily, causing Tenasi, the younger brother, to clench his hands tightly and almost bleed.
"Being the Lord of Mabst City is more of a responsibility and burden to me than what I really want. The life I yearn for is to gallop on the battlefield and enjoy the passion of iron and blood. So, Tenasi, prepare Are you ready to accept the city leader's appointment examination prepared by your dear brother? It's too late to quit now, I will let you know what kind of job a city leader is!" A faint arc appeared on the corner of Nobby Corleone's mouth. The thread made Tenasi tremble all over.
Dear brother, is it too late for me to quit now?
Seeing Tenasi's shaken eyes, Lord Corleone couldn't help but shake his head slightly, "You still have some time to adjust your mood. When the exchange meeting with Drake City begins, I will simultaneously announce the assessment for your appointment as Lord of the City. If If your assessment results are very poor, don’t blame me for dividing some of your power.”
"Everything is for Mabst City, for the Corleone family, for the Custer Kingdom, and for the human race!" Nobby Corleone's voice was filled with a hint of perseverance. Tenasi Corleone was the one who dared to act when he found out, The brother he admired so much seemed to be back, and his heart began to beat violently.
The test from my brother, the test before becoming the city lord!
Come on, let me see your true ability, brother.
"Before the formal assessment, I need to let you know about my brother's true strength. He can betray you in anything but my own strength. Now, let your dear brother tell you that there are also levels of knights." Corleone The city lord grabbed Tenasi's collar and put a little force on his feet, and the two figures disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Will drank all the grape juice in the wine glass and walked out slowly, Tenasi, you are still too immature. Nobby's unhappiness over the years will definitely impress you. No matter how hard you try, the result has already been It’s doomed, separation of powers!
The church is in charge of supervisory power, the city lords and officials are in charge of administrative power, the Arbitration Court and the Estate Council are in charge of judicial power, and each stratum has its representatives, forming a unified and mutual check and balance mechanism. In fact, it was the same before, but the powers were not so clear. . In particular, the church's supervisory power is actually out of touch with the judiciary and administration. This involves the opposition between divine power and royal power, which is relatively sensitive.
