Chapter 69: Sixteen Years Old

Ethan sealed the letter with wax and handed it to Andy.

"You are a member of the Duke's Knights, you should be able to see the Duke in person, please hand this letter to the Duke in person.

Remember, you must hand it to him in person, not through other people's hands."

Andy took the letter doubtfully: "What's in it? Are you sure this letter can help me avoid punishment?"

Ethan smiled: "I told you a long time ago that if the Duke wants to punish you, no one can stop you, because this is your internal affairs.

However, this letter can at least help you reduce the punishment to an acceptable level."

"No!" Andy was disheartened: "I can't accept any punishment.

And you don't understand the Duke's principles of doing things. If he knew that I was involved in the incident that hindered the supply of materials in the North, then I would definitely be kicked out of the Knights.

In any case, I can't accept this Result.

So, please ask Knight Ethan to retrieve the previously reported letter.

This is the only way! "

"Why are you like a child?" Ethan frowned: "You are an adult. If an adult makes a mistake, he must bear the corresponding price.

I have no obligation to retrieve the letter that has been reported for you, and I will not retrieve it, because it is also very important to me.

I need the Duke to thoroughly investigate the internal obstacles, which is related to the life and safety of me and everyone in my territory.

Of course, I also understand your concerns, which are nothing more than fear of losing your status as a member of the Knights.

However, please rest assured that you will be fine.

The content of this letter is neither to plead for you nor to clarify for you, but to help you fight for a new position. "

Andy was a little confused, not knowing what Ethan was up to.

"A new position? What does this have to do with exempting me from punishment?"

Ethan smiled: "There are many ways to solve a problem. The stupidest way is to treat the symptoms instead of the root cause.

Take this matter for example. If I plead for you or clarify for you, it will not solve your dilemma.

You are likely to be punished like the other three.

There is no doubt about it!

Of course, this is obviously unfair to you.

However, I have found a new position for you. This position is called liaison officer, responsible for coordinating the supply of materials on both sides.

You know, my territory has just repelled a destructive force.

This not only proves my strength, but also indicates that the territory will become more and more secure.

Then next, endless materials will be transported to every corner of the northern border through the territory.

Therefore, it is very necessary to set up a liaison officer for both sides.

This will not only Coordinate the material supply of both parties and formulate a material transportation plan.

In this way, there is no need to notify you to pick up the goods every time the goods arrive, as in the past.

You only need to pick up your goods at a fixed time and at a fixed point.

This is convenient and efficient, and it can also make the goods more diverse. After all, with a liaison officer, you can customize some special goods, right!

In this way, the Lawson family will not only know how to transport food and weapons here as in the past.

We can also consider your actual needs more and increase the variety of goods.

Please imagine what the North will be like if my plan is approved by the Duke?

At the same time, please think carefully if the Duke agrees to let you be the liaison officer.

Even if you make a mistake, will he kick you out of the Knights? "

Andy finally understood what Ethan meant. This is a way to save the country in a roundabout way.

From beginning to end, there was no word mentioned to offend himself, but this method, every word is to help offend himself.

I have to say, it is really clever.

However, is this really a way a sixteen-year-old boy can come up with?

"Thank you very much for the help of Knight Ethan. I have completely understood what you mean. Thank you!"

Ethan waved his hand to indicate that you are welcome. In fact, you are welcome.

Ethan was willing to help him not because Andy provided him with information, but because Andy was more sensible.

Andy's ability to come back to tidy up the room proved this point.

And a sensible person actually means that he is less likely to bear risks.

The reason behind this is also easy to explain.

Take a very famous topic in the previous life, that is, the post-00s rectifying the workplace.

Those young people dare to resign at any time and dare to confront the leaders, while those older people work like cows and horses and flatter.

The two are in sharp contrast.

From the surface, it seems that young people pursue equality and freedom.

In fact, in essence, those young people have enough material foundation. To put it bluntly, it is because of the accumulation of their parents that they have enough risk resistance and do not have to worry about survival.

So they dare to ignore the rules so much.

This is often impossible for older people. They have to keep their jobs before they can talk about other things.

Obviously, this Knight Andy is such a person.

And such people are often easier to control.

This is equivalent to Ethan planting his own people inside the Duke.

Of course, Ethan did this for no reason.

First of all, he is now seeking development in the North, and he cannot get rid of the influence of the Duke anyway. He needs someone who can provide news from the Duke at all times.

Secondly, in addition to the normal supply of materials, Ethan also wanted to add some of his own private goods.

After all, no matter how much money he made from normal materials, it belonged to the Lawson family and had nothing to do with Ethan himself.

And if he wanted the construction funds for the territory, he had to find a way himself.

Coincidentally, he was doing business with someone else.

And coincidentally, this coffee business was quite in line with the atmosphere of the North.

If coffee could be promoted throughout the North, it would be a huge business, and it would be a continuous business.

Imagine how comfortable it would be if soldiers had a cup of hot coffee while on duty in the snow.

And coffee also has the effect of refreshing the mind, which is also conducive to standing guard, which is a perfect match for soldiers.

And there are at least hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers in the North. If they all use coffee as a refreshing drink, Ethan dare not imagine how much profit there will be.

And this profit belongs to him, which is really wonderful.

Therefore, when sending Andy out, Ethan specially packed a cup of coffee for him to take away, and solemnly stated that this kind of tea has the effect of refreshing the mind, so he should do some preliminary publicity first.

After sending Andy away, Ethan felt that he had to speed up the pace of the coffee business, which was his only source of income.

And now he lacked people and materials to build the territory, all of which required money, and he needed money very much.

After carefully calculating the time, Anne should be arriving at Sofia soon.

Of course, with Anne's speed, if she flew directly to Sofia, it might not take half a day, and it would not take more than ten or twenty days.

But Ethan was worried that if Anne flew directly to Maro and appeared in front of Sofia without any introduction, it was estimated that if the letter was not delivered, it would be regarded as a monster and die.

Therefore, Ethan only let Anne catch up with Saberi. After all, Saberi knew about the yellow-headed eagle, and it would not be abrupt to see Anne delivering the letter.

Then, follow Saberi back by boat and introduce him to Sofia. Although this is a bit more roundabout, it is safer.

At this time, Sofia was in the study, holding a letter in her hand, looking at the yellow-headed eagle on the desk with a strange expression...
