Chapter 128 Any request can be agreed (First update)
To be fair, the Bellevue family's estate is far inferior to Highclere Castle in Hampshire, England, which Fang Yu visited a few years ago and is the filming location of Downton Abbey.
Of course, although the owner of the castle was also an earl, it was built during the heyday of England in the 19th century. At that time, the Industrial Revolution in England had been going on for almost a hundred years, and the productivity was different.
Despite this, the scale of Bellevue Manor is still not small.
The main building is a two-story brick and stone structure with a pointed roof and sixteen rooms. Adjacent to it are stables, a guard camp, a small temple, an armory, a granary, a cellar, and other supporting facilities.
The manor's buildings and gardens are surrounded by a stone wall and four watchtowers.
Of course, the large territory outside the wall also belongs to the Belvedere Manor, but there is no wall.
"Lord Gis! Please be magnanimous and treat me as a fart! I will never dare to do it again!" Lermachus knelt on the ground with tears and snot.
This journey was simply a nightmare for Marcus in his more than 20 years of gangster career.
Fang Yu ignored the gangster and just cast a prison spell on him, leaving him aside to continue shivering.
It’s not that Fang Yu really holds a grudge, but mainly because he really wants to use this guy.
What is the most important thing when economically colonizing an unfamiliar dimension?
Of course, the most important thing is to develop Nowenjian.
This was a tried and tested strategy used by the Great Ang Empire hundreds of years ago.
What kind of people are most likely to become Norman traitors?
Of course, the easiest ones are those who are afraid of death, selfish, black-hearted, and thick-skinned.
Although Marcus has become Fang Yu's sworn slave, whether he can do his job with all his heart and whether he betrays Noven sincerely are two different matters.
Therefore, Fang Yu must first eliminate all his luck and completely make him obedient. Only in this way can this gangster be a guide sincerely.
After obtaining the administrator privileges of the magic network wave monitoring system, Fang Yu can take over the Woking Church at any time, remove the current Pope, and become the true god of the Woking Church.
It sounds great to achieve success overnight, but in the long run, it may not be a good thing.
Fang Daqiang once asked Fang Yu, what is the most important ability for a leader?
It is the ability to distinguish useful information.
For example, when a salesperson participates in a bidding for a project, when he reports the specific competitive situation to his supervisor, the information will be distorted by at least 30%.
When the supervisor reports to the department manager, the information will be distorted by another 30 percent.
The department manager reported to the general manager of the business unit, and the report continued to be distorted by 30%.
The general manager of the business unit reports to the vice president, and the share is still 30%.
By the time the vice president reports to the president or boss, the boss may hear less than 5% of the real information.
For an executive of a large company, 95% of the information he receives every day is spam and false information, and only 5% is useful and real information.
How to extract 5 useful and real pieces of information from these 100 pieces of information is a skill that senior managers must possess.
The boss is the one who steers the ship and controls the direction of a company's development. Without this ability, he will be misled by wrong information and make wrong decisions, and the ship will sail in the wrong direction. The faster it sails, the more miserable the death will be.
Not everyone has this ability. It is often the case that someone at the grassroots level shows good ability, analyzes problems logically, and can often come up with very constructive solutions.
But as soon as this person is promoted to a senior executive, his true colors will be exposed within a year and he will make one stupid move after another.
People are still like this. Apart from those villains who are unworthy of their positions and have no leadership skills, in fact, most people are not good at leadership because they do not have enough ability to discern information.
So, how can bosses or executives acquire this ability?
There is no shortcut other than starting from the grassroots level, becoming familiar with every aspect of the business step by step, and turning yourself into a real insider. After becoming a senior executive, you still need to maintain close connection with the grassroots level and have enough channels to hear real information.
Only in this way, when people below report, they can immediately identify whether they are telling a story or a real need.
When an amateur commands an expert, no one will have a good ending, unless he is lucky enough to hire the right person from the beginning and can refrain from interfering in the expert's affairs.
There are many things that are completely invisible from above.
I can't find the problem, and even if I do find it, I don't have enough experience to come up with a solution. Faced with dozens of solutions submitted by my subordinates, I don't know which one is the right one.
This is a problem that even magic cannot completely solve.
Therefore, Fang Yu’s plan is to first become familiar with this world, or at least familiar with the basic operating logic of this world, before taking over the Woking Church.
Only in this way can the Woking Church truly play its role.
Otherwise, one day, you might be deceived by the treacherous ministers and become a tyrant.
The words of a treacherous minister sound so good, it would be a shame not to listen. But if you believe them, you will become an idiot.
"Lord Githdruid, I'm terribly sorry, but dinner will take a while to prepare. Would you be interested in touring the gallery before dinner?"
Fang Yu looked closely and found that Mrs. Claudia had changed her clothes at some point.
Although he was still wearing a black dress, he took off his black gloves and replaced his hat with a black small-brimmed hat with a white feather on it.
A black veil still hung from the brim of the hat, but it was thinner than the previous one, and Mrs. Claudia's face was vaguely visible.
Although I can't see the skin condition clearly, just looking at the facial features, I can give it a score of 90.
Especially these eyes.
Hiss~ This look is amazing.
Although covered by the veil, one could still feel the sorrow and complaint in Claudia's eyes.
Coupled with this body that seems to be sucking the marrow out of the bones.
Beautiful mother + congenital widow's holy body.
"Of course, it's my honor, beautiful lady." Fang Yu smiled and nodded. He glanced at George and found that he was still staring at him with hatred and fear.
Is there a hint of jealousy and worry in this look?
As an uncle, you must correct your wrong interests and hobbies.
"Hanging here are all the ancestors of the Belvedere clan."
"This is the third generation Lord of Belvet—Amber Belvet. It was during his tenure that he was crowned by the six major orthodox churches and became the Count of Rusen."
…
"This is Victor Belvet, the eighth Lord of Belvet. After Victor inherited the Count of Russen, he formed an alliance with the Duchy of Albert and joined the Duchy of Albert as an autonomous region, a position that continues to this day."
"This is the ninth lord—Charles II Belvedere. Charles II is Victor's cousin. Victor has no male heirs. Although Victor dislikes Charles, he hopes his daughter will inherit the family business as a countess. However, by then, the Belvedere family had converted to the Church of Light. According to the provisions of the Holy Scripture of Light, Charles ultimately inherited the title."
…
The long gallery walls were almost covered with portraits of the ancestors of the Bellevue family. Claudia and Fang Yu walked side by side, and Claudia told Fang Yu the stories behind some of the portraits.
As expected of a noble family with a history of 900 years, they had been talking for nearly half an hour and still hadn't reached the end.
"Madam Claudia, I've always been curious. In all these years of history, as the lords of Lusen, has the Belvit family never produced a single extraordinary person?"
Fang Yu asked curiously.
This has always been a question he has had.
It stands to reason that aristocratic families have a deep foundation, and even if they use resources to pile up, they can produce many extraordinary people.
"Of course it's because of the Six Gods' Oath." Madam Claudia looked at Fang Yu in surprise. "According to the divine oath between the Thirty-two Norwen Nations and the Church of the Six Gods, nobles who become transcendents must give up their noble status and are forbidden from setting foot in their family's original territory for life. Everyone should know this."
I see.
No wonder the world's class structure hasn't completely solidified.
Sixteen thousand years, in a world with extraordinary power, political stability is not surprising.
However, under political stability, class solidification can often be completed within three or four generations.
Fang Yu has come here so many times and still feels that this world retains considerable social vitality, which shows that the classes are not completely rigid.
Do I have to give up my noble status to become a transcendent?
No wonder.
It is not easy to become a transcendent. The spiritual power gained through hard training is harvested by the gods for free. The magic network will not feedback energy to them to improve their life essence, and their lifespan will not be significantly extended. Of course, powerful nobles will not risk giving up their noble status to become transcendents.
"You can probably tell I'm not from Norman," Fang Yu said frankly. "In fact, I've only been in Cober for a day."
"Sir Gis, are you from Sarai?" Claudia covered her mouth with a surprised expression.
Fang Yu shook his head and smiled lightly.
Claudia thought about it for a while and continued to explain the portrait to Fang Yu. This time she was much faster and basically skipped over some unimportant parts.
Claudia stopped in front of the last portrait.
"This portrait is of the current Earl of Lusen, my late husband's brother and the 56th head of the Belvedere family—Harold Belvedere."
"Harold inherited the earldom fifteen years ago. Since he currently has no male heir, according to the provisions of the Holy Scripture of Light, George is currently the first in line to the throne."
Claudia's tone was a little complicated, and the white feather on the brim of her black hat trembled slightly.
Is this fear? Or excitement?
"Lord Gisdruid, I need your help! No, I sincerely ask for your help. If you can help George, I can agree to any request!" Claudia turned around suddenly, looked up at Fang Yu's eyes through the veil.
It is impossible not to write the story of the other world, because if not, the main storyline cannot be connected at all.
I understand readers with different tastes, and I am very grateful that you have followed the book all the way here. Even if you do not subscribe in the future, I will still thank you.
This is sincere.
In addition to being an author, I am also a senior online literature reader. I have been here since the day Qidian was founded, and I understand the feelings of these readers very well.
Many readers offer very good suggestions, but as an author, once the outline and most of the details have been written, the most taboo thing is to deviate from the outline at both ends.
Therefore, I will change some of the readers' suggestions if I can. For example, I have been much more restrained since the suggestion to change the perspective. I will not change some of the suggestions that cannot be changed in the overall outline, as doing so will be more detrimental to the book.
So far, the performance of this book has at least met my expectations.
Even without any operations, the average subscription is currently over 1,000 and is slowly increasing. This is already much better than the performance of my last book when it was first released.
This is quite comforting for a former unsuccessful writer who hasn't written a book for seven years.
This book has various problems and is not as well written as the great ones, I admit that, but I will not belittle myself. I know where my strengths lie and which readers I can attract.
In short, I would like to thank every reader in the end. No matter where we got separated, I am grateful to you.
The truth.
