At Bruno's order, Creel hurried away.

As Bruno's confidant and the director of Idar's Central Intelligence Agency, Krell knew clearly what importance the Church of Illumination occupies in the heart of Lord Duke.

Compared with other forces, the CIA has done the most work on the Church of Light.

But the results achieved are the least.

Because... what the Bright Church hides is really too deep.

Even clergy at the bishop level may not be clear about what the church wants.

Whether it is Mike, who was once a cardinal, or Will Roach, the former commander of the Legion of the Holy Order, who is now in the Duchy of Idar, even if they are the core force that has been cultivated by the church, they have little understanding of many things.

Although Agent Idar has been trying to use money offensives to corrupt the clergy outside the church, the useful information that they eventually get from them is still pitiful.

Moreover, the accuracy of many news is still open to question, and it is difficult to cross-check it. On the contrary, it has added a lot of tasks to the intelligence personnel of Idar's CIA out of thin air.

so……

Regardless of how irritating Idar’s CIA sounds today, Krell’s heart is very clear that this is far from enough! !

At least... there is still a big gap between the requirements of the Lord Duke of my own!

The establishment time is too short, there are too few people available, and the scope of coverage is limited...

These above,

It's all Idar's CIA issues.

Due to the shortage of manpower, most of the intelligence personnel of the Idar CIA are now distributed around the Principality of Idar.

A little further away is the central part of the empire, an important city like Saint Lawrence, the imperial capital.

As for the places far away from the Duchy of Idar like the western part of the empire...

It's not that Idar's CIA didn't want to deploy manpower, it was really because of lack of strength.

It is precisely because of this that when the Graf family came to this piece of land in the eastern part of the empire and took the initiative to make a decision to seek refuge in the Duchy of Idar, Old Ford paid special attention to it.

If the Idar CIA can smoothly integrate the Graf family's intelligence network throughout the empire, then the "business" capabilities of the Idar CIA will undoubtedly go up a lot!

so……

Not long after Creel left, Old Ford wore a thick coat and walked into Bruno's study.

"Krell urged you to come, right..."

Bruno took a sip of steaming coffee and said with a smile.

Upon seeing this, Old Ford did not hide it, but nodded very seriously:

"Sister and brother Ferona have lived in Idar for a long time. As for...the CIA, Krell has also asked people to conduct several checks. It should be sincere and sincere to want to take refuge in us. Since Lord Duke, you have returned. ...Then it is always better to give an answer as soon as possible."

If it were to be an ordinary aristocratic immigrant, in fact, Bruno would not need to personally give instructions.

But the problem is...

The Graff family are no ordinary nobles!

Although the Graf family, who holds the title of Marquis of Soto, is not the top noble family among the many nobles in the middle of the empire, the intelligence network owned by the Graf family can just make up for Idar. The CIA has many shortcomings and shortcomings.

Therefore, this also makes the seemingly weak sister and brother of Ferona have the qualifications to negotiate with Bruno to fight for more rights and interests for themselves.

Before that, due to Bruno’s temporary absence in the city of Idar, the sister and brother of Ferona had been delayed for a long time, but now that Bruno had returned to the Duchy of Idar, it was naturally impossible to continue to drag on.

Although according to Bruno's idea, Idar's CIA's manpower is naturally better trained by himself, but...The Church of Illumination now has more and more frequent actions, but Bruno has to make arrangements as soon as possible.

The inclusion of the intelligence network operated by the Graff family for generations was also a decision made by Bruno out of vigilance towards the Church of Illumination.

To know,

If the Bright Church jumps back,

Then it will definitely be a much more terrifying opponent than any force on this continent.

after all……

Behind the church is not only hidden countless secrets, but it also has a large number of believers.

It is true that the number of the Crusaders may not seem to be large.

But with the power that the Church of Illumination possesses, once the church is determined to intervene in the power of the world, it can completely pull up an extremely large army in a very short time.

Nowadays, the influence of Protestantism is mainly distributed in the eastern part of the empire, and the indulgences sold by the church have not caused a large-scale rebound in a short period of time.

Even though the development situation of Protestantism is very good, it still fails to shake the foundation of the church's believers accumulated over hundreds of years.

And once the church is really determined to intervene in the disputes of the secular world, then the Stuart family, who are guardians of the Protestant faith, will surely become a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh of the Church of Light.

Because……

The ideological conflict between the church and the Protestant is definitely the most direct and inevitable!

"I have already read the conditions put forward by the Graff family..."

Bruno paused, thought for a moment, and then continued: "In fact, in many ways, it can be discussed... It's just that some requirements must be changed."

"Then what do you mean..." Old Ford cautiously probed.

Bruno looked at the sky outside the window, touched his slightly deflated belly, and said, "Eat first, and talk while eating!"

People are iron, rice is steel, a meal is not panicking.

Although the business of the Graff family is really important, when discussing things, you always have to fill your stomach before you can think.

The cook who is in charge of Bruno’s diet has already mastered a large number of cooking methods under Bruno’s careful training. The dishes made are in line with Bruno’s taste, and finally Bruno has escaped from the breaded steak and French fries. The sea of ​​bitterness.

When Bruno and Old Ford entered the dining room at the same time, the steaming stove had been placed on the table.

hot pot!

In Bruno's heart, the cold winter and the steaming hot pot are a perfect match.

Imagine that it is a cold winter day outside, and the room is a steaming hot pot. After eating, the whole body is warm and dry. If you are getting a spicy pot bottom, it will be extraordinarily comfortable!

The hot pot is naturally to shabu-shabu-shabu.

Therefore, the vegetables and meat on the table can be described as a variety of dishes, such as baby cabbage, chrysanthemum, bitter chrysanthemum, etc. There are also many vegetables, and even a beautiful fruit platter is prepared.

If it is changed to other places on this continent, even as a nobleman, it is impossible to see these extremely fresh green vegetables on the table in winter.

But in the Principality of Idar, vegetable sheds are no longer such a rare thing.

Not to mention elsewhere, just on the hillside outside the city of Idar, there are many vegetable greenhouses that have just been built in recent years.

Therefore, at the beginning, everyone would be surprised, but by now, most of them have become accustomed to it.

Isn't it just green leafy vegetables!

The Idars are not the unseen buns in the interior of the empire!

As for the meat, the lord’s kitchen selects the best parts of the cattle and sheep, and the fat chef with superb knife skills personally takes care of it.

Although it was not cut into thin slices as thin as cicada wings, it was also uniform in thickness, and the lines on it were clearly visible.

By the time Bruno took his seat, the fat lady cook had already lit the fire underneath in advance, and the thick soup in the hot pot had already gurgled to a boil.

The bottom of the pot is spicy, and there are a lot of peppers floating on it. It looks red and makes Bruno's index finger move.

"Sit down..."

Bruno waved at Old Ford, indicating that he needn't be restrained.

For Old Ford, although he has always been deeply trusted by the Lord Duke of his own, he has never eaten together a few times, not to mention having to eat with the Lord Duke from a pot, so he is a little nervous.

"These red stuff..."

Although Old Ford had already tried hot pot, an original cooking method created by the Duke of his own, and was full of praise for it, he couldn't help but hesitate looking at the peppers floating on the bottom of the pot.

But old Ford can’t be blamed, because the planting of peppers has just started this year after all, which is quite unfamiliar to many people, and it is also the first time Bruno has come out to entertain guests.

"This is chili. The first time I eat it, it may feel particularly spicy and irritating, but it can remove dampness and dispel the cold. It is good for the body to eat a little bit of it in moderation."

Upon seeing this, Bruno introduced enthusiastically.

Chili is a good thing!

On weekdays, Bruno's favorite is chili.

But before that, because there were not enough brilliant points in the pocket, I had to make careful calculations, and I didn’t dare to buy pepper seeds in the system mall for planting, so I knew that at this time, Idalling’s first batch of peppers was tossed out. .

"Can you dehumidify and dispel cold?"

Hearing this, Old Ford was immediately moved.

After all, he is getting older, and it is inevitable that he will develop various illnesses as he grows older. Therefore, he naturally has a lot of interest in the pepper that his lord duke highly respects.

After Bruno picked up a piece of hot beef and sent it to the mouth, Old Ford picked up the beef and sent it to the mouth.

You must know that even if you are a high-ranking old Ford, you will not eat beef often, because after all, this is the livestock that needs to be relied on for farming. The number of slaughtered every year given by the Department of Agriculture has a clear limit.

At the moment of entrance,

In addition to the tenderness of the beef itself, the excitement of the spicy flavor also burst into Old Ford's mouth.

In almost a moment, a faint red light appeared on Old Ford's face.

"Woo..."

He couldn't help but drank a few sips of the cold water beside him, and said: "This smell... is really strong..."

"It's good to be used to it. I specially made someone to adjust the sauce. Dip it in it first. It shouldn't be so spicy..."

Bruno said with a smile.

Hearing this, Old Ford couldn't help nodding.

Let’s say it or not, although it tastes hot and spicy, for the old Ford, the spicy taste brings a unique appeal.

...

The two people gathered around a table and had a feast.

When the food was almost the same, Bruno asked:

"What do you think about the two sisters and brothers of Ferona?"

In fact, Bruno already had preliminary considerations in his mind, but he still wanted to hear Old Ford's thoughts.

After all... In Bruno’s view, it may not be a good thing if you have to toss out some things that he once imagined now, because for the Principality of Idar today, that stuff is really a bit early. NS.

But in order to fight the church, Bruno must unite all the forces that can be united in the shortest time!

And this also includes giving more favors to the nobles who take refuge in the Principality of Idar!

Old Ford wiped the greasy corners of his mouth, pondered a little, and then said:

"The issue of land is the bottom line of the Principality of Idar, and there is no room for negotiation. As for the brothers and sisters of Ferona... I have two immature ideas for the time being."

Bruno asked calmly: "Oh? Let's just listen."

"In my opinion, Miss Ferona can be regarded as a very talented nobleman. It is completely different from those Norman nobles who only know how to eat and wait to die. Perhaps she can be granted certain official positions and give her enough respect and respect. Status, but... it must be clear in advance that the official position of the Duchy of Idar cannot be inherited by the descendants of the Graf family."

Hearing that Bruno nodded, and by the way, he took another piece of hot meat, dipped it in the oil dish, and continued:

"What about another idea?"

"Another idea is to set up an organization that is only responsible for you. The nobles can serve in this organization, but they only have the power to put forward opinions and plans. They cannot directly intervene in the daily affairs of the Principality of Idar, let alone interfere with public servants. Administrative law enforcement."

Good guys!

Old Ford really is the most trusted person in this duke!

At the moment when he heard Old Ford's second thought, Bruno's heart was suddenly filled with a feeling of...particularly relief.

This is not politics...

Oh no,

Isn't this the upper house of John Niu's house?

In John Bull’s House of Lords, the status of members of the House of Representatives includes royal descendants, hereditary nobles, lifelong nobles, judges of the court of appeal, and church archbishops and bishops.

As of Bruno's crossing, the House of Lords has undergone many reforms, with relatively limited powers.

Although they still have the right to shelve vetoes on bills and can review bills passed by the House of Commons, they mainly raise oral or written inquiries to the government and debate various policy issues promulgated by the government.

Before that,

In fact, such an idea had already appeared in Bruno's mind.

It is precisely because of this that Bruno specifically called old Ford to see what old Ford thinks about the placement of the Graff family.

only……

Bruno has always felt that it is too early to launch such an institution at this time, and even if a similar institution is to be launched, he will impose stricter restrictions on related powers.

For example... it is enough to give some suggestions, don't think about tossing about other twists and turns!

But what Bruno didn't expect was that Old Ford actually made a similar point.

And since even the old Ford thinks it is feasible... then the related institutions seem to be able to be arranged.

After all, as the ruler of the Principality of Idar, Bruno himself is a member of the aristocratic class. Although he is now constantly supporting civilian officials of low origin, it is impossible to kill all the aristocrats.

Bruno thought for a moment, and finally made up his mind:

“Regarding the preparations for the establishment of the House of Lords~www.novelbuddy.com~The Office of Government Affairs has to draw up a plan these days, and the powers given to them are mainly to inquire and supervise the work of the Office of Government Affairs, and to address the ills of the Principality of Idar, Present your own ideas."

"Of course, you don't have to be too anxious. As for the Graff family, you can reserve a noble seat for them at that time. As for whether it can be hereditary... You should discuss it first, and I will weigh it after the plan is completed."

"In addition, you have to imagine a House of Commons composed of civilians. As for the power... it can be a little bigger than the House of Lords, but there is no need to worry about this. If you get it out within three to five years, even if you complete the task. "

Hearing this, Old Ford couldn't help but stunned.

But he still resisted the tremor in his heart, and replied in a deep voice, "I understand."
