Chapter 6 Grand Duke Annan's Fishing Plan
Annan took the first reaction after thinking about it.
It was the head of the Rasputin family... [Beauty of Imbalance] Vasika Rasputin.
Because Annan believed in Ivan.
Ivan said to Annan before, "Although the members of the Rasputin family are all weirdos, after you succeed the Duke of Winter, Rasputin will be your best partner."
Because Rasputin is a family of secret keepers, there is no need to worry about them leaking secrets.
Annan intends to give the name of discovering this vein to the Rasputin family. As a family of pure-blood ritual masters, it is not surprising that they will learn some weird secrets and master some inexplicable rituals.
It is also very reasonable to find a gem vein - and because he is worried that he will not be able to monopolize such a huge benefit, he will give up a considerable part of the benefit to Duke Winter in exchange for the privilege of digging gems.
In this way, it is not only impossible for the nobles to go to Annan's side and "split half of the meeting".
Instead, they would go to the Rasputin family to seek cooperation, and then turned around and ran to Annan to ask Annan to sanction the Rasputin family.
This is the way of checks and balances.
If Annan's side is too unbalanced, the nobles will worry about themselves instead. They will subconsciously try to contain the Lindong family - after all, in the winter year, the Lindong family is just an ordinary noble family.
However, Annan pushed the Rasputin family out and became a "cooperative partner who shares interests with Annan and has mutual thoughts" on the surface.
——Then here, it is no longer Annan who is out of balance, but the Rasputin family.
What those nobles have to do is try to drag the Rasputin family down.
Like a crab in a basket.
Anyone who wants to climb out will be pulled back by his companions.
"Your Majesty, haven't you considered... the possibility that I might disagree?"
"The beauty of imbalance" Vasika said with a smile: "This is putting our Rasputin family on fire."
Vasika Rasputin in May is still a woman. This time she was in her purest human form, according to the phase of the moon that day.
Her pupils returned to normal brown, and the dark brown ponytail on the back of her head was still divided into a bundle and hung loosely on the left chest, and a bunch of tied ponytail hung behind the right side.
Her slightly brown skin looks much darker than the catwoman form. The nails and eye shadow also look much lighter. Apart from the strong left-right asymmetry, they are much simpler than Catwoman's.
"I never thought about it."
Annan shrugged, and said with a smile, "Because I plan to sell you 30% of the shares."
"so much?"
Vasika was a little surprised.
She originally thought that if she could get 12% of the share, she would be able to actively take the blame. The two achievements are the ideal line in her heart.
After all, she did nothing in this matter. It's just being pushed out to block the gun... How can it be divided into 30%?
Of course, this 30% must be an upfront investment...but this is a trivial matter. As an ancient family that also has elven blood, the Rasputin family cannot have savings.
As long as Annan allows them to invest in the upcoming "Winter Mining Company",
That is tantamount to directly selling a considerable part of the benefits.
But this 30%...
But Vasika is the head of the clan after all.
She reacted quickly.
"Are you planning to target the Melvin family?"
Winter, Melvin, Rasputin.
These are the top three families in the Duke of Winter.
One generation controls the Tower of Storms and stably rules the Duchy of Winter; one always has more than one Gold-rank Transcendent, and each generation produces at least ten Silver-rank Transcendents; More than 40% of the official transcendent.
In fact, most people have no concept of the most important blood of winter in the winter family, which can command frost beasts.
After all, the Frost Beast is just a legend to most people-they can't just go outside the small enchantment to see it. It is also impossible for the frost beast troops to come and beat them.
It's like the Noahs can hardly see the Transcendent.
In fact, quite a few people in Winter will never see a live frost beast in their whole life. Only when the Frost Beasts are captured from the outside every year, can there be a chance to see the convoy passing by the city to capture the Frost Beasts-at that time, almost all the people in the city will come to watch.
It is also because of this that they believe that "the frost beast really exists".
So for them, the Winter family is not necessarily much stronger than the wizard family and ritual master family.
After all, the Lindong family is too sparse.
In the Duchy of Winter, where "life is victory", this sounds very weak. But after all, as a duke family, they have been grand dukes for generations... so there will be no problem.
So at this time, Cold Winter and Rasputin shared the profits of the new vein.
People's first reaction would not be "Winter is working with Rasputin".
But "Is the Rasputin family stronger than Melvin"?
Because the Lindong family has never been included in the "Strength Controversy".
After the Rasputin family becomes stronger, the ceremonial masters from Rasputin will naturally seize the positions of some ministers.
They were already more productive than the Melvin family, and now they are richer.
This means that the power of wizards from the Melvin family will be greatly diluted. And Annan's biological mother is a member of the Rasputin family. "The Rasputin family is willing to share the benefits with him" sounds reasonable.
In the view of "unbalanced beauty" Vasika.
If this mining company is really established.
Then in the first few years, the Rasputin family would definitely be suppressed by other nobles in turn because they couldn't bear the pressure.
But this suppression is only superficial.
Because they also know that the Rasputin family will definitely get a lot of fresh blood. Then they will no longer support "Melvin".
In the next few years, I am afraid that there will be rounds of debates in the court.
Rasputin would continue to be deflated on the surface, but in fact his face was full of greasy food—it was the "friends" of the Melvin family who would scold Rasputin while quietly cutting off Melvin. connect.
At this time, it is impossible for the Rasputin family to reverse.
Because the longer this situation lasts, the more they benefit.
Other nobles will even begin to shut themselves up.
Because of their growth rate, it is impossible to compare with the resources Rasputin obtained from the gem trade in any case-the sum is not comparable. Then they can only start to accumulate strength and shrink their power.
Melvin would suddenly be isolated.
"I plan to make Melvin rebound or admit defeat within half a year."
Annan nodded, and explained to Vasika in a deep voice: "You come to help me, find a way to force them.
"The 30% share is just a deposit."
The benefit that Annan really promised is to make the Rasputin family a super family "second only to the Winter family" in the future!
This surprised Vasika very much.
...How dare His Majesty Annan do this?
Although she was indeed loyal to His Majesty Annan for some reasons... But this does not mean that the future Rasputin will also be loyal to Annan's descendants.
This is like the two families of Winter and Rasputin, who have diluted the equity of other shareholders of the company "Principality of Winter" on a large scale.
This will make the current Cold Winter Principality return to a voice again. After the Melvin family retreated, there was no power in the entire Duchy of Winter to prevent the union of opinions between Winter and Rasputin.
It's impossible to stop even if it's just obedience and transgression.
This means that Annan will regain the dictatorship of the Principality of Winter.
And as a price... Rasputin's voice will become very loud in the Dukedom of Winter in the future.
Moreover, this plan itself may make some nobles who have been diluted to the edge of the power circle jump over the wall. They may even openly rebel with the Melvin family!
As long as they don't raise their troops, Annan can't use the army to attack them. And if they are determined to fight against the two families of Lindong and Rasputin, I am afraid that the Principality of Lindong will fall into chaos.
unless……
Vasika's pupils suddenly contracted.
"...Grandmother... is she... going to wake up?"
She asked with some uncertainty and some fear.
If the old grandmother woke up, there would be nothing wrong with the plan.
The Winter family in the winter year is just ordinary nobles, and their advantage lies in controlling the Tower of Storms—but in the year of harvest, they are the largest family of priests, and their status is higher than that of the Pope.
Annan nodded slowly.
"The old grandmother has entered a light sleep state. If there is no accident, about half a year later... Around October this year, the old grandmother will wake up."
The young Grand Duke said: "After the 'spring' begins, Winter will usher in an unprecedented period of development. Sitting on this outlet, even a pig can take off.
"As long as the old grandmother is sober, no one will dare to disobey my opinion. But the old grandmother will not agree to me attacking other nobles at will... because it is an act of a tyrant. They are also the 'children' of the old grandmother , we are 'a loving family'.
"—But if they show their fox tails, it will be different if they start to oppose me on the surface. That is undoubtedly questioning the authority of the Patriarch... And I don't want those who have opposed me before to be able to welcome this dividend , What benefits do you get?"
Annan showed an innocent smile, and crossed his fingers on his chest: "I don't have any bad intentions. I don't hold grudges because they troubled me before.
"I just hope that those who don't like me can express their deepest thoughts honestly as soon as possible."
"Five months..."
Vasika thought for a moment.
She suddenly said, "Then why don't you... go abroad again?
"In June and July, you will find an opportunity to go abroad. If you are relieved to let me go, bring His Royal Highness Dmitry and His Royal Highness Maria...
"I have a way here to make them start to have some crooked thoughts."
