The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

Chapter 186

Joseph Mullen’s mother is called Madame Bertha.

She is also an aristocrat. Although the family is slightly inadequate compared to Mullen, she does not allow a glimpse.

At least, her family can help her control the rights of the Mullen family after her husband’s death, and there is still no one to shake.

But after Joseph Mullen left, there was no son and grandson as the next heir, and Mrs. Bertha’s position in the Mullen family was greatly affected.

——She must use some “means” to force Joseph to come back to ensure her status.

But this provokes Xia Zoe.

…………

The most important thing for Xia Zuoy at present is these studies. A lot of funds and energy have been invested, and he is waiting to see the results of Reynolds and Joseph.

But it was as if he had already set up a shelf, but was pushed vigorously, and the labor and effort he had put in before was almost completely ruined.

Although the “architectural foundation” is still there, and you just need to repeat it later, it needs a lot of financial support again.

Xia Zoe didn’t want to let this Mrs. Bertha go easily.

Since King Asa Derek of Biya implicitly hinted that he could expand his territory without scruples.

According to the Pope, the interior of King Biya is now in chaos, and among them is the handwriting of the Mullen family…

Xia Zoe considered repeatedly and decided to send a cavalry team to besiege Biya.

——To be able to counterattack the Mullen family perfectly, but also to obtain new territory, this is a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

After the news reached Biya, Asa Derek pretended to be shocked and angry.

He photographed the news about why the Desinian lord sent troops to the kingdom of Biya in front of a group of nobles.

Especially Mrs. Bertha who also came to attend the meeting and asked her why she wanted to engage in some shameful methods in the Desinian territory to undermine the research that the Desinian lord valued.

“Don’t you think that the Desinian lord is so young that he is easy to bully?!”

Asa Derek asked “angry” geologically: “Are you afraid that you have forgotten how this young lord won the power of the Gadaat Kingdom step by step and established the first realm with only lord on the Western Continent. And afterwards, Genna was destroyed, the Anas Empire was split, and the kingdom of Ami was acquired…”

“Up to now, he has even wiped out the Saint Airo Empire and has the largest and most expansive territory on the entire Western Continent. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has obtained the highest power!”

“Where do you dare to use these methods under the nose of the Desinian lord?! Have years of pampering you have made your brain rusty?!”

Mrs. Bertha’s face was terribly ugly at the moment, blue and red… it looked like she had overturned the palette.

She sat stiffly on the chair, but now she wanted to find a way to get in…

With the creation of God, she wanted to faint immediately!

She has never experienced such a shameful moment!

Asa Derek still maintained an angry expression on his face, but he was secretly refreshed in his heart.

After all, this Mrs. Bertha always relied on the power of the Mullen family to be in charge of women, refuting his decision many times, and brought other people on her side…

Asa Derek was dissatisfied long ago.

In addition, the nobles who participated in the meeting couldn’t help but show horror: “Your Majesty, what should we do now?! Do you want Madame Bertha to apologize to the Desinian lord in person…”

“In addition to apologizing and agreeing to the party’s conditions…”

As long as the Desinian lord can withdraw his troops, anything is fine.

Other nobles can’t help but echo.

This is all trouble caused by Mrs. Bertha!

Whoever caused the result, whoever came forward to solve it, they were originally innocent and should not bear the anger of the Desinian lord.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Mrs. Bertha for a while and was somewhat angry.

Mrs. Bertha’s face was extremely stiff.

Her figure is a bit thin, although she is a little bit older, she can see that she looked pretty when she was young.

However, her cheekbones are high and her cheeks are a bit sunken, which makes her look rigid and serious.

After all, Mrs. Bertha has been in charge of the Mullen family for many years, and the scene against her quickly adapted.

Seeing all the nobles asking her to apologize at this time, she sneered: “Should I say I’m sorry, the Desinian lord will give up the attack on Biya?”

“You are too naive.”

Mrs. Bertha looked at Asa Derek: “Your Majesty, maybe Desinia’s ultimate goal is Biya. He is just looking for an excuse to declare war.”

“If you didn’t do it in Desinian territory recklessly, how could you let the other party find this reason to attack Biya?!” An aristocrat was extremely dissatisfied.

“That’s right, you are the culprit. The Mullen family is really down, and even let a woman in charge for so many years, so that now the whole Biya is facing…”

“Oh, your son has abandoned you. I heard that he has now become a noble in Desinia territory…Wait, your Malun family won’t have been bought by Desinia long ago, right?!”

“The inside should be combined with the outside, deliberately letting Biya be destroyed?!” A nobleman thought he had found the so-called “truth of the matter”, and directly slapped the table.

The key reason is quite reasonable, and other nobles can’t help showing expressions of suspicion and thinking.

Asa Derek was sitting in the first place, with his hands folded in front of his nose and mouth, watching his face solemnly condensed, but he was almost laughing in his heart.

——Oh, looking at Mrs. Bertha’s expression, she looked like she was going to jump over and scratch their faces.

This group of people is really the source of happiness during his reign.

Alas, think about it, I might never see it again, and it’s a pity.

Asa Derek let out a low cough.

Suddenly, the room quieted down.

He opened Madame Bertha’s scar and said: “Don’t say that, Joseph left Biya because Madame Bertha couldn’t tolerate his wife…”

“What’s more, it is precisely because Mrs. Bertha wants Joseph to come back that she will use means to destroy the research of the Desinian lord, otherwise it will not be attracted…”

Although he was defending Mrs. Bertha on the face, in fact Asa Derek caused another wave of hatred for her.

Sure enough, the condemnation of the other nobles grew louder.

Asa Derek saw this, fearing that Mrs. Bertha would really be fainted with anger, and soon ended the meeting with no results.

He said that the strength of the kingdom of Ibia is absolutely unable to resist the cavalry team in the Desinian territory, so it is better to think about how to protect yourself from the opponent’s attack.

-Take the initiative to surrender?

Although this Asa Derek didn’t say it explicitly, it was implicit.

Although Mrs. Bertha did not show her timidity at the meeting, she was still afraid in her heart.

Especially when she returned home, the main members of the Mullen family discussed whether she could continue to be competent to control the family.

The final result is to deprive her of the rights.

Even if Mrs. Bertha was angry and unwilling, it was of no avail, because the Desinian cavalry had already come to Biya.

In her view, His Majesty Asa Derek had done nothing at all, resisting negative responses, as if wishing to hand over Biya to the Desinian lord.

As a result, in just over half a month, Desinia’s cavalry team broke through several cities in Biya, just short of attacking the royal city.

Mrs. Bertha has been closed recently, because as long as she goes out, countless people will look at her with condemning eyes.

She couldn’t bear it.

On this day, the maid knocked on the door.

Mrs. Bertha came to the door, but did not open it. Her heart was beating heavily, her face was stiff, her voice was dry and she asked through the door: “…what’s the matter.”

There was a knock on the door.

The maid said outside: “Madam…the German and Desinian lord asked you to go to see him in the palace…”

Mrs. Bertha almost turned black. She held the doorknob to support her body, and the words seemed to be squeezed out of her teeth: “The palace… which palace?”

Maid: “Naturally it is the royal palace in the royal city. His Majesty personally welcomed the Desinian lord in…”

She paused and said, “The knights are waiting outside. If you don’t come out, they will force the door to come in…”

There was a “click”.

Mrs. Bertha’s pale and stiff face appeared in front of the maid.

…………

With the secret cooperation of Asaph Derek, the process of Shazoi’s takeover of Biya’s territory went smoothly.

Originally, the location of the kingdom of Bia was close to the Empire of St. Air, but now that the Empire of St. Air is his territory, the cavalry team will directly point to Bia after they set off.

This war can be said to have been won without much effort.

The people in the kingdom of Biya were originally worried about being afraid, fearing the arrival of the Desinian cavalry.

Later, they discovered that the cavalry did not do anything to them after occupying the city, but quickly dealt with some local nobles who oppressed civilians and slaves, gathered homeless orphans and elderly people, and rectified the security of slums.

These series of actions made the people of the Kingdom of Biya realize that the arrival of the Desinian cavalry made their lives better.

As a result, some voices resisting Desinia could not help but disappear.

After meeting Mrs. Bertha, Xia Zoe abolished the title of nobility of the Biamarron family, but retained the title of nobility that belonged exclusively to Joseph.

After all, Joseph had already left the family, and had previously used his own ability in exchange for the aristocratic status in the Desinian territory.

Joseph did not take Mrs. Bertha into his home, but let her stay in her original residence.

As for her later life, Joseph left a large sum of money, which can guarantee that she will not spend it until death.

As a son, he can only do so much.

Because he knew his mother, she was unable to resist the Desinian lord, and she would definitely transfer all the hatred to his wife…

When Xia Zoe finally handled all the matters after the occupation of Biya, this year’s winter was coming quietly, and it was still extremely cold, but this time, people put on the cotton-padded clothes and trousers that had been made for a long time.

The widespread popularity of cotton gins and looms has given some women the opportunity to earn money through work.

The drawings made by these machines are not a secret now. They are sold in the Thorns Chamber of Commerce. People with dexterity can make them by themselves, and there is no need to buy the assembled machines.

Some people have already made a lot of money by making machines to make a living.

As the textile market gradually matured, Xia Zuoyi slowly released improved tools or machines-flying shuttles, hydro-spinning machines, sewing machines, etc.

These machines have once again greatly increased the speed of people weaving…

Today, on the Western Continent, Shazoi has the largest territorial area, his allies-the Akiyori Territory, the Kingdom of Anas.

The Pauville country in the far north, the Kadi tribe in the west, and some small marginal countries and territories to the south are slowly being gathered by the Desinian territories and become part of their territories.

When the heavy snow fell, all places fell into silence for a while.
