Kapitel 106: Chapter 106 We are not enemies
Chapter 106 We are not enemies.
After dinner, Roning pushed Wiggins back to the latter's study, which was considered some superficial work.
Luo Ning had no sense of kinship with anyone in Wushan Fort.
But as he said, the blood of the Wushan family flows in his body, which he cannot change or deny. His bond with the Wushan family will not be broken, and this relationship needs to be maintained.
The conversation between Roning and Wiggins did not last long in the study, as neither seemed to have much to discuss.
Luo Ning took the opportunity to mention that he wanted to recruit some craftsmen in Wushan City and that he wanted to move the families of the previous batch of guards to Shanlin Town at the end of the year.
It is unknown whether Ronin's conquest of the savage tribe fulfilled Wiggins' wish or whether he agreed to lead the army on behalf of the Wushan family, but Wiggins was very polite and agreed to all these requests.
After a brief exchange, Roning left Wiggins' study.
Outside the study, Breton leaned against the wall, and the magic crystal lamp in the corridor cast a long shadow on the ground.
Bretton is only thirteen years old but is about 1.6 meters tall and does not look like a child.
"Have you finished talking to father, brother?"
Luo Ning nodded, "Why, waiting for me?"
"Yes!"
Brayton smiled and said, "I have much to tell you."
The two brothers had communicated with each other in the past, but they were not close, mainly because their lifestyles were different.
His predecessor liked to be free and enjoy himself; Breton devoted most of his energy to training and learning. That was why he activated his fighting spirit seed at thirteen and became a professional knight.
If he were placed on Earth, his predecessor would be a second-generation rich man who laid down, enjoyed himself, and was uneducated, while Bretton is a potential stock full of energy and hard work.
The current situation is that the rich second generation has fallen, and potential stocks have taken over.
The two of them randomly found a room, and the servants immediately brought candles to light it.
Luo Ning waited quietly, wanting to see what his brother, who was bringing him a glass of juice, wanted to say.
"I'm very grateful that you gave up your inheritance rights."
Breton handed Roning a glass of juice, and then he picked up the glass in his other hand and drank a sip of the juice.
"Because I always feel that our Wushan family needs a strong successor. My father can't do it, and neither can you, brother."
Luo Ning was still determining what the other party would say next. Was he going to perform a trick of showing off in front of him?
"You know, it's not that I want to give up the inheritance rights, but Grandpa thinks you are more suitable."
Luo Ning raised his cup, took a sip, smiled, and said, "Actually, this is a good idea. You awakened your fighting spirit seed at the age of thirteen. As long as you practice hard, you might be able to catch up with your grandfather and become a Meteor-level knight by the time you are thirty."
"You are indeed more suitable to lead the Wushan family and continue the glory of the past!"
Bretton was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Roning to be so sure of him. This made him stop talking.
But he was not angry. On the contrary, there was light in his eyes. "Brother, do you think so?"
Luo Ning's tone was unquestionable, "Of course, I have always believed so!"
"Thanks!"
The smile on Breton's face grew wider. "I was worried that you would hate me if Grandpa gave me the inheritance rights, but I'm glad you didn't."
Of course, Ronin didn't.
If he had lived in this world for over a decade and then been disinherited, he might have hated Breton.
But he was deprived of his rights on the day he traveled through time. The right to inheritance was irrelevant to him, and he did not feel it deeply.
As the saying goes, how can you talk about losing something if you haven't loved it?
In comparison, if something you have is taken away, such as the title of Baron of Luoning Shanlin Town, he will not be willing to accept it.
"There are many people out there who say that after I get the inheritance, I will suppress you, persecute you, or even kill you."
Bretton's tone was disdainful, and his eyes were serious as he stared into Roning's eyes.
"We are from the same Wushan Mountain. We have the same silver hair and black pupils. We are brothers! How could I possibly attack you? They underestimate me!"
Roning couldn't figure out what this little guy wanted to say for a moment.
He could only agree: "The mouth is on other people's body; we can't control it."
"You're right!"
Bretton laughed, "Besides talking about this matter, I asked you to come here today because I need your help with something else."
Luo Ning raised his eyebrows and said, "You say."
Bretton pondered momentarily and said, "I heard that your Shanlin Town has a small population. Even if you add the population of the three savage tribes, there are estimated to be only two to three thousand people. Such a small number of people is not enough to develop Shanlin Town, so how about giving the land of those savage tribes to me?"
"Why, are you still in the mood to manage those mountains?"
Luo Ning frowned slightly. These people didn't know the value of sericulture and ceramics, so why did they come individually to ask for these lands?
Is it just for fun?
"Training and practice take up most of my time daily; how can I have time for this?"
Breton shook his head. "You know, there are many swamps in the Sean Territory, and there is a lack of good land for growing food. If we can use the land of those wild tribes, development will be faster, bringing me greater help in the future."
"So I plan to let Baron Leisen run those places."
Well, in the end, Sean was pulled in. Their relationship seems reasonable, and they can even let Bretton act as a lobbyist.
"But Grandpa has the final say on the management rights of the land, right?"
Roning looked Bretton up and down, meaning that what you said counts?
Bretton patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry. Grandpa doesn't care about such trivial matters. He will just leave it to Father to decide. I can just talk to Father when the time comes."
Indeed, many government affairs of Wushan Territory were handed over to Wiggins to handle, and Lulans rarely asked about them.
Luo Ning thought about it but shook his head. "Breton, I'm afraid you're too late for this matter. I've already asked my grandfather for the management rights of the three plots of land, and he agreed to let me manage them."
Bretton was a little surprised. He didn't expect Roning to move so quickly.
"It doesn't matter. As long as you tell Grandpa, transferring the management rights to Thane County won't be a problem. I will decide then and ask Baron Leisen to pay you at least 500 gold coins!"
Luo Ning had a faint smile on his face and shook his head.
I complimented Breton because nice words don't cost money, but now that we are discussing specific interests, I can't follow the other party's wishes.
"I'm sorry, but I won't give up this right. Besides, who can guarantee I run those places worse than Lei Sen in Sean County?"
Breton frowned slightly. "But you only have so few people. How can you have the manpower to run such a large place? Or do you think 500 gold coins are not enough? If so, I can help you negotiate again."
Roning saw hesitation and a flash of helplessness in the other party's expression. Perhaps the other party did not expect Roning to refuse, so he did not prepare a corresponding plan.
He planned to test it carefully to see if Bretton was targeting him.
"Breton, you just said that we are brothers."
Luo Ning looked at the other person and said, "Then why are you willing to help an outsider persuade me to give up something that belongs to me?"
"I..."
Bretton suddenly felt that the Roning in front of him was so strange, completely different from before, and the aura coming from the other party overwhelmed him a little.
"Baron Leisen asked his son, my classmate Moravi, to let me talk to you."
He explained: "Besides, I think what the other party said makes sense. After all, Sean Territory has sufficient manpower and can quickly develop those places and bring more tax revenue to our Wushan family."
Roning's gaze softened a lot.
After all, Breton is only a thirteen-year-old boy. Although he usually appears confident and calm, it is all the confidence that comes from his cultivation of talent. There is nothing special about him in other aspects.
This is like a top student who has passed math, physics, and chemistry but failed miserably in physical fitness.
Breton was not very good at negotiation and lobbying, and his personality was not strong enough.
"Don't worry, I will find a way to solve the problem of staff shortage you mentioned."
Luo Ning said: "I promise I will run it better than him!"
"Okay, okay..."
Bretton spread his hands and said, "I said I'm not suitable to be a lobbyist. Negotiating with people is much more tiring than practicing."
Luo Ning smiled and said, "I can see that."
The atmosphere in the small room relaxed.
Breton said helplessly: "My mother told me that many nobles have disloyalty towards Wushan Castle and asked me to win over more nobles to our side. Baron Leisen of Thane Territory has recently become a bronze knight so we can get closer to him."
Luo Ning's heart moved, and he wrote down these words.
In his impression, Baron Leisen was just a high-level knight, but he didn't expect him to make a breakthrough recently.
"Diane is right."
Luo Ning nodded in agreement. "But no matter how hard you try to win over Lei Sen, he is still an outsider, and I am your brother. Although we have different mothers, as you said, we are from the same Wushan."
"Yes, you're right, brother!"
The topic seemed to have been opened, and Bretton became casual. He pulled over a chair and sat down.
"Now that my father is dying and my grandfather's health is getting worse, in the near future, there will only be you and me in the Wushan family."
Breton said sincerely, "I hope you can continue the courage you had when you conquered the wild tribes and became a powerful lord. Together, we can restore the former glory of our family!"
