Chapter 105: Action

Ethan was certainly not satisfied with Sophia's plan. He told those people that the lowest-ranking sailors could get 100 gold coins a year.

If this plan was adopted, even the two leaders would fail.

However, although it was still far from what he expected, Ethan also knew that Sophia's plan was already very sincere.

Therefore, he could only nod in agreement.

As for the difference, he had to make up for it himself.

This amount was incredible.

If calculated based on the previous number of people and the difference, the gap would be nearly 10,000 gold coins, and this was the first year with Sophia's subsidy.

If it came to the second year, all the expenses would be borne by himself...

Ethan was overwhelmed by the thought.

Thinking about the high salaries of these people, what would he do if he recruited people in the future?

It's impossible that the people he recruited would be lower than those recruited!

At this time, he regretted bragging at the time, so that he was in a difficult situation now.

But on second thought, given the situation at the time, if he didn't brag a little more, these people might not be willing to lie.

Suddenly, Ethan understood why those politicians made all kinds of promises when canvassing for votes, but when they really got into office, they suddenly suffered from amnesia and forgot all the promises they made before.

Sophia seemed to see something and smiled: "My dear brother-in-law, did you agree to some incredible conditions when you were trying to persuade them to rebel, so you offered such a high salary?"

Ethan nodded: "Although I didn't say how much, I boasted to them that the lowest-ranking sailor in the family can get 100 gold every year."

"Haha!" After hearing this, Sophia covered her mouth and laughed: "This is really your style, speaking half-truths and half-lies.

So, you are worried that after they come here, they will find that there is a huge gap between ideals and reality , will there be trouble? "

Ethan nodded again: "I am indeed a little worried!"

"Haha!" Sophia thought of Ethan's character and couldn't help laughing again: "My dear brother-in-law, you are good in every way, but you are too sentimental.

Think about it carefully, why were you so cold and ruthless when you used the strategy to rebel, and when you forced people to rebel, you didn't even blink an eye, but now you are worried about breaking your promise?

Isn't this very contradictory? "

"What's contradictory about this? We were enemies before, and now we are our own people." After saying that, Ethan sighed heavily.

Seeing Ethan was a little dejected, Sophia straightened her hair and comforted him: "You don't have to be like this.

These people...

Well...how should I put it?

My dear brother-in-law, I understand your desire for development.

But these people are really not suitable to be a team.

If they can rebel once for the sake of interests, then they can rebel against you again for the sake of interests.

This kind of thing can only happen zero times and countless times.

You can use them, but you must never treat them as your own people, nor can you trust them, and you don't have to feel guilty about it.

If you really want to build your own team, you must train your own people, and they must be people you trust. .

It doesn't matter if he is not capable enough, loyalty always comes before ability.

Many people always complain that their talents are buried and blame those in power for being incompetent.

But they want to be in power, but they are never willing to be loyal, or they don't have this awareness.

Some idiots even think that they can win favor by working hard, which is a typical example of not thinking from the perspective of others.

Therefore, they are destined to be mediocre all their lives.

Let me ask, can a person with real talent not be seen by the superior?

Of course not, the superior is just waiting for them to be loyal.

Once loyalty is achieved, he will be reused immediately.

Similarly, your worry about trouble is unnecessary.

If the two of them are sensible and find that the reality is different from what they thought, then they should be worried.

Believe me, no matter what conditions you offer, as long as they are sensible people, not only will there be no trouble, but they will also offer their loyalty at the first time.

At that time, they are your people.

Only at that time, if you still treat them badly, it is really time to reflect on yourself.

Of course, if they are not sensible, you will treat them as consumables as soon as possible, and never hesitate. "

"Uh..." Ethan was stunned by Sofia's words. After analyzing from another's perspective, he was speechless: "My dear sister-in-law, you are one year younger than me, why do you know so much?"

"Haha!" Sophia smiled: "Everyone grows up in different environments, which naturally creates different people.

And the environment I live in forces me to think from another's perspective frequently.

In fact, I don't like the way I am now.

I prefer to be like you, without having to consider other people's ideas too much.

If I get angry, I'll find someone to duel, this is called life!

Okay, let's stop here today!"

After saying that, Sophia closed [Mind Appearance].

Ethan also exited the mind immersion at the same time and leaned back in the chair.

Since he heard Sophia say that there was no prior preparation, he was a little worried about whether the two knights could withdraw safely!

"Well! It's probably difficult! After all, they are our own people, shouldn't we think of some way?

But what can we do?" Ethan muttered to himself and fell into deep thought.

...

At this time, in the territory of Earl Adrian, Embiid was sitting uneasy at home.

Since returning to the territory and reporting the successful attack, he received the bounty as he wished and his life went on as usual.

But within a few days, the earl asked him to rest at home, isolated him from his brothers, and sent people to monitor him closely.

Only then did he realize something was wrong.

Since he is under house arrest, it means that the plan has probably been exposed.

For a moment, his heart was in his throat, and he didn't know which link had gone wrong.

Logically speaking, even if something went wrong, it shouldn't have happened so quickly.

Unless the sword master did not burn down the station as agreed, causing the information sent back from the North to be different from what he reported, arousing the earl's suspicion.

The count was not sure which was true and which was false, so he temporarily placed himself under house arrest.

Thinking about it again, the sword master did not send someone to contact him as promised.

This assumption is probably the truth.

This means that once the count finds out the truth, then...

Thinking of this, Embiid suddenly broke into a cold sweat on his forehead.

He lifted a corner of the curtain and looked through the window toward the street.

A few sneaky guys in casual clothes were staying in a corner, chatting leisurely while glancing at home from time to time.

Embiid frowned and observed everything quietly, already feeling that the end was coming.

At this time, a "Daddy" woke him up.

It turned out that it was the seven-year-old second daughter who came to him holding the youngest daughter who was just one month old.

When Embiid saw his two daughters, he quickly changed his face and showed a bright smile.

"Oops! It turns out they are my little sweethearts. Well... give me a kiss from Daddy!"

With that said, Embiid hugged his two daughters together and kept teasing them with his beard.

The second daughter was teased so much that she giggled. Although the younger daughter was only one month old, she seemed to feel something and opened her toothless mouth. Ah, Yiyi couldn't stop laughing.

"Daddy, there is an uncle in red robe in the study who asked me to come find you."

Upon hearing this, Embiid was stunned for a moment.

Who would sneak into his house at this time?

Could it be...

Embiid suddenly guessed something in his mind, and as if grasping at a life-saving straw, he quickly handed over his two daughters to his wife, and then ran into the study like crazy.

But when we got to the study room, where was the shadow of the man in red robe?

But how could his daughter lie?

Just when Embiid was wondering, a small tornado suddenly blew up in the study.

After a while, a man in red robe walked out silently in the wind.

"Hello, Knight Embiid! By order of my family, I'm here to pick you up!"
