Lord Of The Eastern Castle

Use The Criminals

"Your Majesty, the Patriarch of the Mines family has asked you to attend a gathering that will be held the day after tomorrow all the families that trade agricultural goods will be present there."

Lydia was now walking with Ryan. It was around noon and Ryan was walking towards a particular destination.

"Put that into my schedule."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

---

"So is there a specific reason that you asked us to stay, Your Majesty?"

The Patriarch asked.

It was around the time of evening now. It wasn't unusual for the Nobles to have tea together. This was an amazing opportunity to talk about what Ryan had planned. They were sitting on a white table with 3 white chairs surrounding the table. Patriarch, Sheaa, and Ryan could be seen seated. Slightly behind Ryan, Lydia could be seen standing.

"Yes, indeed."

"I would like to know who currently serves as the miner in your mines?"

"It's the Family Servants and Slaves. They were hired by our family and lifted out of poverty. The slaves are people who were sold or sold themselves."

"I have a proposal."

"Please go ahead, Your Majesty."

"It seems that the kingdom's prison has a lot of people there and they don't seem to be suffering enough. They are just living a mundane life. So, I was planning on getting help from the Mage's tower and getting them turned into slaves who would work in the mines. They should be made to do hard manual labor. Would you like to take part in trying this out?"

Honestly, I will not give you the power or rights over these slaves. All of these slaves will be monitored and controlled by the Prison Guards and, hence controlled by me.

"Don't you think this could be risky? They're criminals after all."

"I think it would turn out great, even you know how strong Enslavement Magic is. I will also be sending prison guards to monitor them."

The Patriarch was a bit taken aback by this. He wasn't sure this would work out since criminals were the lowest scum of society.

He thought, thought, and thought.

He put his hand over his chin signifying that he was thinking it over.

"Alright, let's put it to the test." The patriarch said with a smile.

Bingo, more money and I gain a huge amount of influence over the Mines. The plan wasn't just to gain influence over the Mines, but to monitor how much mining would take place within these mines. As the new policy is applied, there's a possibility that the biggest families sell these in black and not to the Association.

With this one of the biggest worries will be eliminated.

"Let's first try applying this on one particular mine and then go about doing it on the others too."

Ryan said excitedly. He too wanted to see how this would turn out.

"Yes, I'd like to see how this turns out as well."

The Patriarch said.

A maid arrived at the table, serving 3 cups of tea to each of the people present at the table. Ryan had completely forgotten that Sheaa was a part of the discussion since she did not take an active part.

Holy shit.

Wait, what if I created a Basic Human Rights policy that enforc-

"What's your opinion about my daughter?"
