Chapter 256 The actions of the Scottish nobles

That night, Presidential Suites at Nord Royal Hotel

"Marquis Weiss is sorry for nothing I can do about this."

"Joseph disagreed with convincing his countess?"

"Yes, I hope you don't act excessively. Although the Scottish nobles are very powerful, they want to be with King Nod... you are undoubtedly seeking death."

"But we can't surrender, wait! We will let Joseph compromise."

"Don't do anything randomly, hey! shit!"

The busy voice in the microphone made Duke Thomas very angry. He believed that the other party would do what he said, but once things were beyond imagination, it was difficult to avoid him, the agent, being involved.

Compared to Joseph, Kate and the Princess of Morocco are very happy, Hermes and Chanel are all kinds of limited edition bags, and new spring and autumn clothing are brought back to the palace like moving.

After Joseph separated from Thomas, he did not return to the palace directly. He just found a restaurant to solve the lunch problem, and then asked Flander out for a walk together, and did not go back until the evening.

"It's best not to mention things today with your mom."

"I understand how to do it, His Majesty the King."

"you……"

∫  When seeing his calm son teasing him, Joseph touched his head and couldn't help but get speechless.

"This is?"

When he returned to the palace and saw the servants at the door carrying things, Joseph looked at Abna and asked in his eyes.

"It was purchased by the Princess of Morocco, and a small number of them belonged to His Highness."

It is really scary for a woman to go shopping without her life, whether she is an ordinary citizen, a princess or an official wife.

"Salma didn't follow them?"

"No, Miss Salma said that there was an agreement today, and it seemed like she was going to fight...dance."

"I really don't know how to explain to Salma in this way."

Joseph was really helpless. After all, he was fine when he came. Now he was dancing on the street, dressed in a flamboyant manner, without a look of a noble lady. Of course, Joseph didn't know. Salma had already known it before coming, and the Earl Singra's family also understood it.

Royal Palace Lobby

Looking at the Moroccan princess who was chatting with Kate, Joseph stepped forward and kissed: "This should be our second meeting!"

"His Majesty the King has a good memory. This is our second time meeting, but Kate and I are old friends, just like you and Ali."

The Princess of Morocco is a woman who is not very familiar with politics. She does not know that most of the relationship between Joseph and Ali is entangled with interests, and the real relationship must be discussed by Joseph and Aziz.

"I think you shouldn't know what happened to Aziz and Bella in the Kingdom of Nord!"

"Aziz and Bella? No one told me that they are asking for your Majesty, you have something to do?"

Joseph looked at Kate meaningfully and replied casually: "Maybe!"

It was getting late. I just said a few words and left and returned to my respective bedrooms. After taking a shower, Kate was already lying on the bed and was distracted. He looked at Joseph who was on the bed and said, "She is a friend who is worthy."

"But she is not a qualified princess."

"There is an old saying in China that you cannot have both fish and bear's paw."

"That's right, just like Aziz. If he didn't have so much power, I think we would be good friends. Unfortunately... He always wants to pull his brother off the king's position and sit on it."

...

Scotland

"There are still many strangers around the castle in the past two days. You need to be alert." The security officer in charge of the castle said to his subordinates on duty.

"clear!"

Seeing the black-clothed security personnel scattered around, the white guard came to Butler Allen's lounge. Butler Allen was debugging new red wine. When he saw him entering the door, he nodded casually and signaled him to sit down.

"I have already given instructions below. But this is not a solution. It would be best if the Countess could be persuaded to leave here. London is good, and the Count has many good friends there."

Scotland is the territory of Scottish nobles. The government's voice here is far inferior to these nobles. Some of the nobles even have private armed forces in their hands, and they may not have heavy weapons. However, there is no problem in drawing out hundreds of armed personnel holding submachine guns.

Although I understand that the other party's courage cannot be so great, I must be prepared for everything, and a mistake may cause consequences that hundreds of people from all over the castle cannot bear.

Alan, who had been meditating on the red wine, shook his hand when he heard this, and hesitated and said, "I'll give it a try, but how to arrange it on the way, the helicopter is still..."

"We will contact the London side, believing that safety is not a problem."

"Then I'll go there now."

After saying this, Butler Allen stood up and headed towards Li Xiaohan's bedroom where he was resting. It was almost eight o'clock now. According to Li Xiaohan's custom, he shouldn't have slept yet at this time, at most he was just reading books.

Dongdongdongdongdong~

"Countess, I have something to look for you."

"Butler Allen?"

Although he was a little confused about what Allen was asking her for so late, Li Xiaohan was not too wary. After all, the other party was first a loyal old servant, and secondly, if he really wanted to do something, no one would dare to stop the castle.

The guards all came from the Nord Kingdom, but they might, but don't forget that this is Scotland, and most of the security personnel are young people from tenant families of the Aberdeen family for generations, and in terms of relationships, they are still closest to Allen.

Putting on a nightgown casually, Li Xiaohan said, "Come in!"

Butler Alan is a sensible person. Although the master has put on his nightgown, Alan still insists on not being polite and not being polite. He lowers his head and tells the guard's proposal.

"The Scottish nobles seem to have made an action. We hope you can go to London to relax and go to Nord. Let's wait for the things here to calm down before coming back."

"Scottish nobles? Have you done it?"

"Yes, the fact that we had lowered rents before completely destroyed the traditional customs of Scotland and the interests of Scottish landlords. Now it is not only the nobles who want to trouble us, but also some small landlords."

The nobles in Scotland must be landlords, but the landlords are not necessarily nobles. Therefore, it is normal to say that the interests of landlords in the past are aristocratic interests, because those landlords without titles do not have such great influence and will not have much impact on the Aberdeen family at all.

"Calm down. What are you going to do?"

I have been in Scotland for a while and have been a countess for quite some time, so she clearly heard the words in Allen's mouth full of blood.

"The lady also has some misunderstandings. The nobles are not ordinary citizens and some methods cannot be used on them. We now have about 1.5 billion pounds of cash, and the weapon we use to deal with them is this 1.5 billion pounds."

“What will happen.”

"The food prices in Scotland will be reduced to a certain level, which the nobles cannot bear. In addition, we will take action against some of their listed companies. Most of the nobles in Scotland do not have much cash in their hands. They cannot support it."

In Scotland, not only Scotland, the aristocrats in the entire Europe are the same. The income is stable but not much, and the cost of maintaining consumption is very high, which leads to the rarer being at seldom at the hands of the nobles.

Some particularly rich nobles? Their cash comes from some highly profitable industries, and such industries are often easily targeted and suppressed, and one accident will lead to bankruptcy.

"Must do this?"

"This is the only way to ensure that the Aberdeen family will live safely in this land in the future."

If the interests of both sides are not in harmony, it is necessary to decide the outcome. Because there is no balance between the two at all, it means that it is impossible to negotiate peace.

Li Xiaohan is a kind girl, but she also has to consider her daughter. She can only choose the latter when choosing between the two. Leaving London is just to relax.

In fact, it is not impossible to negotiate peace. As long as the rent price is raised back, it is fine. But even if Li Xiaohan does this, Joseph and Allen's housekeeper will not agree, because this represents the glory of a family. At the same time, officials may not be honest. But nobles must not be without them.

“When will you leave?”

"In three days, madam, you are ready to go..."

"Hongkong!"

"Hong Kong? Then I'll make arrangements."

The answer was unexpected, but Butler Allen didn't say anything else. He had a good relationship with the current Hong Kong Governor, and going to Hong Kong was also a good choice.

The Scottish nobles naturally did not know about the Aberdeen Castle. At a castle banquet, a group of Scottish nobles gathered together to talk about the Aberdeen territory.

"This month our tenants left a lot, and the rest also demanded a reduction in rent. This is a real headache."

Headache? There is no reason not to have a headache. Although the aristocrats in Scotland spend less than England, they also need a lot of cash to maintain each year. The rent is just right. Maybe sometimes it is a little more expensive, but only a little time will be available.

What does reducing rent mean? It means that they have to live a life of tight food. This is something that the Scottish nobles cannot allow, so they can only fight.

"Marte Vis, what are your plans?"

"Burn their granaries and destroy their seedlings until they compromise."

"this……"

Some extreme measures made many nobles hesitate. They were not too soft-hearted to do such things, but were afraid of being under pressure from Nord.

"Don't worry, if the Kingdom of Nord takes action, will our Queen, the Prime Minister sit back and see?"

That's right, but the nobles still had a lot of worries. After all, no one knew what Joseph would react.

"We just need to be careful not to hurt the people in the castle, so everything else is easy to say. It's just some seedlings and granaries..."

"What if they retaliate against us like this..."

"We didn't have much food last year. The biggest loss was the Earl of Aberdeen, not us. They were the ones who suffered the loss when they fought."

Marquis Weis thought it was good, but he didn't know that Li Xiaohan's annual dividend of Nord Royal Oil Company reached more than one billion pounds. If he knew this, he would give up early, so there was no need to argue. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
