C1741 Caledon's Arrival
With this, the manor gained another knowledgeable teacher, and the academy started.
However, there were not many children in the Academy, only the children of the manor's servants studying inside.
"Tianyu, Clayton is here."
Xu Tianyu originally wanted to continue to study the information at the end, but a piece of news couldn't help but make him stop his work.
In the side hall, Xu Tianyu saw Clayton. However, he seemed to be very tired now as the dark circles around his eyes were very large.
"Clayton, it seems like you haven't been sleeping well recently." Xu Tianyu asked with a smile.
"Tianyu, you don't know how much has happened in the city. With the fall of the two count s, they have at least a third of the entire city's wealth. Who knows how many people are looking at these things right now, preparing to crazily steal them and keep them in their pockets. "
Clayton said worriedly.
"Isn't that fine? Clayton's business can be expanded a bit more. " Xu Tianyu said in a flat tone.
"No, some people are not satisfied, they want to eat us little barons clean, some people want to sit on the position of the count."
With Clayton saying this, Xu Tianyu became more interested.
There was only one Duke of the city, and that was the City Lord, and underneath the City Lord, there were three count. Now that two count had fallen, there were indeed a lot of people who could not hold their cool and wanted to climb up.
"Is it the last count who wants to cause trouble?"
"That's not it, count Ku Bo Si did not participate in this matter. He had never liked this kind of scheming battle." Clayton said again.
"Who could it be?"
"I received the news, it seems to be Viscount of Ice Rivers, those guys from the army want to get promoted."
"Legion?" Xu Tianyu was a bit confused.
"Tianyu, those people have also been here before when I auctioned my manor. Their words are very strange."
Since Brighton had said it like that, Xu Tianyu finally understood. It was the Xuanwu army, Phoenix Squad, they wanted to come out and cause trouble.
No wonder they were so quiet during this period of time. They were waiting for time.
"They aren't strong enough, it's too difficult for them to be promoted. Also, Brighton, you barons wouldn't give them the chance to do so, right?"
Although the number of Duke and count's positions were limited. However, the viscount and the baron were not restricted.
But the nobility had more titles. As a result, fewer people worked, and fewer benefits were distributed. So if there weren't enough benefits, there wouldn't be enough benefits to increase the number of barons and viscounts.
"Although we don't want them to come up here, they've already linked up with a lot of wealthy merchants, and this has affected our own interests."
"And most importantly, the position of the two count s has been vacated. "There are simply too many of them. Many of them want to obtain benefits, and we no longer have any way of resisting them."
"Seeing that the benefits are great, there are already people taking the risk."
"Yes, just yesterday, when the news was spread, two barons were found dead. Not even their families and servants were found alive."
Clayton felt scared as he spoke.
"So, Clayton, what do you mean by coming here?" Xu Tianyu did not expect this to be a dead man. It seemed they were even crazier than he had imagined.
"Tianyu, I came to find you because I hope that I can bring my family over to live with you for a period of time. I do not wish for one day when I return home. They are all dead."
Clayton said in pain.2
