THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 229: DO YOU NOT HATE THE COUNT OF VICTORY?
Myro showed a surprised face and hid his anger as best he could so that his identity would not be revealed "Right? Why did the government of Rumerk City do all these acts?".
"People from other cities may not know, but we who are residents of Rumerk City know very clearly about the proximity of the government of Rumerk City to the great merchants in the Northern Province and Victory Province", he said", the boy shook his head "Even the mayor of Rumerk City married the son of the biggest merchant in Rumerk City. Their goal required that pupils buy clothes and books at a high price was for money".
"The city government did not have that much money at all to prepare all the clothes of the disciples for purchase, so they cooperated with the wholesalers. The merchants are in charge of preparing everything needed from uniforms or books, then the merchants will give it to the government where later the government is in charge of selling it to the students".
Myro's countenance became increasingly grim, it seemed that the reports regarding the close relationship between the city government and the wholesalers in Rumerk City were not wrong. Not to mention the mayor himself married the son of the largest merchant, it can be said that the mayor of Rumerk City is a family of the largest merchant in the city as well.
Therefore, it was not strange that the mayor of Rumerk City was trying to help the merchants in the city look for greater profits.
If they are only looking for profit for existing traders, Myro can behave indifferently because everyone is always trying their best to make a profit. The problem is that they are disrupting the interests of Myro, the profits they seek threaten the future of Myro.
Among the children who are out of school due to economic problems, there may be some talented children who are able to become important bones for Myro's future power. But the government of Rumerk City made indiscriminate rules for the benefit of the merchant that caused the child not to go to school, without learning since childhood, the child who was supposed to be an important part of the Myro area ended up failing.
"Why not report to the Victory Count? However, as long as the Count knew the truth, he would come to punish the devious officials in Rumerk City", Myro asked again.
"What's the point?", the boy asked shaking his head "Every time you send a letter, someone has to give it to the post office. The problem is there is only 1 post office in Rumerk City, the mayor does not allow the existence of other post offices to appear in the city. In addition, the post office that has the license is actually headed by the mayor's sister. As long as there was bad news about the mayor or the Rumerk City official being sent at the post office, the letter must have been discarded".
"Then they will look for who sent the letter and give it a heavy wound. There were countless people who were beaten for trying to report the crimes of the mayor and the officials of Rumerk City to the Victory Count, no one had succeeded. As for going alone to Loth City to send a letter, it was impossible! The distance from Rumerk City to Loth City is very far, even if using a horse carriage it takes days. Even if there was a horse carriage, how was the money? Not everyone can ride a horse-drawn carriage".
"Not to mention there is still the possibility of going to Loth City but failing to meet the Victory Count, as a Count, then the Victory Count must be very busy. Would a person like the Victory Count bother to meet us, the unknown inhabitants? In the end the Victory Count did think about our prosperity plan, the middle and lower level residents. But he had absolutely no idea what was really going on down here in the field because the Victory Count was always in such a high position that he did not observe the truth beneath him".
"Shut your mouth!", before Myro said anything, a shout sounded.
Myro looked towards the origin of the screaming sounds and found a 40-year-old man who seemed to be planning to the fields.
Looking at the man who came, the boy said "Dad, are you done getting ready?".
Knowing your father was furious, the boy bowed his head guiltily "I understand father, I definitely don't do it anymore!".
"It's good if you understand, next time don't talk carelessly" said the boy's father.
Myro who watched from the side silently smiled, if they knew his son was talking with the Victory Count directly about the bad part of the Victory Count's reign, Myro had no idea how scared they were of those who knew the truth.
But Myro did not plan to reveal his identity, after all he had come here to plan an examination.
The boy's father planned to take his son away, but he observed Myro first "I don't know where you're from, but I suggest that you don't get too curious or that you might lose your life".
When the father and son were leaving, Myro spoke again "Wait a minute, let me ask you about 1 more thing! Once you answer that, I won't bother you anymore".
The child's father thought for a while before nodding doubtfully "Ask, as long as it's not excessive, I'll try to help you answer".
"Do you hate the Victory Count?", asked Myro carefully "However the Victory Count always behaves as if he cares for the lower middle-level population, but in the end the Victory Count was just a selfish person who felt himself right. The Victory Count made a rule that he said helped everyone, but in the end the Victory Count rule remained in favor of upper-level residents or other officials. Don't you hate the Victory Count who gave you false hope?".
Suddenly Myro finds the father and son staring intently at him, even Yorou secretly holds her sword when something bad happens.
"I've given you a warning, don't talk recklessly in Rumerk City. No, in the entire Victory Province though, you must not mock the Victory Count. I will forget what you said just now, but if you dare to say it again, don't blame me for being rude!", said the boy's father.
The boy shouted "Sister, I misjudged you, you're not a good person! Whoever dares to mock the Victory Count, he is definitely not a good person! Look, someday, I'll definitely work hard to help the Victory Count. Although I only became a worker in the fields like my father, but I will try to develop the fields as best I can so that the Victory Count will not have to worry about the problem of food shortage".
The boy's father nodded "Everyone in the city, even the entire Victory Province respects the Victory Count. Without the Victory Count, how could the entire Victory Province be able to prosper without fearing attacks from other kingdoms like the Orc-Goblin Kingdom? Even if the Victory Count rule of the free school matter didn't really help us, but why should we hate the Victory Count? The wrong person was not the Victory Count, but rather the Rumerk City officials who betrayed the trust of the Victory Count".
"However the Victory Count is a human, it's not strange that he can't watch the entire province in full, why should we hate him? We have great respect for the Victory Count!".
