If the situation is calm, it is easy to say that the heir can be patiently waited for to receive a complete education and slowly cultivated.
But the current baronies have enemy nobles eyeing them covetously, and there are a group of first-generation vassals inside. After losing the shock of the baron himself, it is difficult to control them.
The so-called first-generation vassals are the group of people who have accompanied the baron all the way and laid the foundation with their own hands.
Rather than the ordinary vassals who were recruited later or the family servants of successive generations.
Just like the "founding heroes" in history, there are always some first-generation vassals who rely on their age and sell their age.
Generally speaking, they are often unruly and difficult to tame.
This requires the heir to fulfill his obligations as soon as possible and show enough responsibility and ability.
Even if it is growth, it can only be completed in a short time. Otherwise, even if he inherits the title of baron, it will be difficult to suppress these old ministers.
At the same time, Wang Dong also understands that what Chen Shayi said, "most vassals think", is actually not true.
On the contrary, a young and incompetent heir lacks sufficient prestige and means to suppress the many forces in the territory, which is more beneficial to the first-generation vassals.
Although he saw through it, Wang Dong did not point out the flaw in Chen Shayi's words.
Seeing through it but not saying it, at least Chen Shayi's loyalty to the baron is unquestionable, and he is one of us.
Why should we damage the face of our own people because of a small matter?
Just to show insight, it is really unnecessary.
"As for the origin, what Lord Wang Dong said is not wrong, there is indeed a factor in this aspect. Lord Wang Dong, who was born in the mining star, understands the standards and actual atmosphere of the border star field better. In this regard, compared with Lord Wang Jujun, who has always been well protected, and the two young masters from the capital star system, he is more suitable for the baron's territory."
Ding Weichun took over the topic.
"In addition to this, there is one more thing, that is, the overall quality of Mr. Wang Dong. This time, the Baron sent Knight Chen Shayi to escort Mr. Wang Dong back to Black Stone Star, and there was also consideration in this. Mr. Wang Dong's previous calmness and extraordinary demeanor, coupled with the courage and ability shown by killing the warships of the Tianhu Caravan. For a qualified heir, Mr. Wang Dong does not need the support of other forces, just relying on himself, it has greatly increased the score."
He praised Wang Dong generously.
Wang Dong smiled slightly and said, "Director Ding, you are too kind. The matter of the Tianhu Caravan is really a fight against the water, and luck plays a big role. But I still have confidence that with my usual struggle and hard work, I will strive to become a qualified heir in a short time. I will not let people down."
He was not overly modest.
As Ding Weichun said, he, Wang Dong, has no other advantages except his own quality.
But for a qualified heir, isn't the most important thing about him excellent overall quality?
No external forces can be relied upon, only one's own ability is the foundation.
This is his biggest advantage in the battle for succession.
Next, Wang Dong chatted with Ding Weichun and Chen Shayi for nearly an hour, which was also a process of deepening their understanding of each other.
Wang Dong understood that the goodwill shown by Ding Weichun and Chen Shayi did not mean that they were loyal to him personally.
It can only be said that at this stage, the positions of the two were consistent with Wang Dong.
Therefore, they would give some support.
This support includes information support, personal safety support, and even the support of the forces they represent.
But it does not mean that the two will put all their wealth on Wang Dong's side.
If Wang Dong shows a clear decline in the next competition,
it does not rule out the possibility that the two will change their positions - it is even likely to be a high probability event.
Especially Chen Shayi.
Don't think that he will be a die-hard supporter of Wang Dong just because he fought to death in his previous life to cover Wang Dong's evacuation during the attack of the Star Pirates.
In fact, he was loyal to the orders of Baron Wang Lei.
He has always been a die-hard supporter of Baron Wang Lei, and only a die-hard supporter of Baron Wang Lei.
On the contrary, Ding Weichun, on the surface, as the confidant of the baron, is highly trusted and can sit in the lucrative position of the mining star for twenty years.
But the remote mining planet is not necessarily a place of exile far from the political center.
Ding Weichun's position in the barony is not as glorious as it seems.
Wang Dong was born in the mining planet and was a classmate of Ding Weichun's daughter Ding Lang. This is a natural bond that is conducive to the establishment and maintenance of the relationship between the two.
The goodwill shown by Ding Weichun is more real and more targeted at Wang Dong himself.
At the end, Chen Shayi politely asked Wang Dong if he could set off for Black Stone Planet tomorrow, which is the morning of September 8.
Wang Dong certainly would not be so arrogant as to make decisions on the itinerary arrangement, and he immediately agreed.
Afterwards, Wang Dong declined Ding Weichun's kindness to arrange accommodation, saying that he needed to return home, pack up a little, and say goodbye to some people.
Ding Weichun did not force it, but asked someone to fetch an unopened non-universal version of the personal smart terminal and gave it to Wang Dong.
Wang Dong knew what was going on. He unpacked it on the spot and imported the data from the old personal intelligent terminal into the new one. He also solemnly added the contact numbers of Ding Weichun and Chen Shayi.
As Wang Dong's identity as the illegitimate son of the baron was exposed to many people, and because of the dispute over the heir, the ordinary civilian personal intelligent terminal he originally used was no longer suitable.
Its confidentiality and functionality were both insufficient.
He needed a new personal intelligent terminal.
Ding Weichun did not explain this, and Wang Dong did not ask any more questions.
His actions could explain everything.
If Wang Dong knew the necessity of changing his personal intelligent terminal, it meant that he had a certain amount of relevant knowledge reserves, which further demonstrated his ability.
If Wang Dong did not know the necessity of changing his personal intelligent terminal, but still cooperated in this way, it meant that Wang Dong's trust in Ding Weichun was also valued by Ding Weichun.
Obviously, Ding Weichun was quite satisfied.
"This personal smart terminal is the latest limited edition imported from the Plantagenet Federation. The price is not bad, but the channel is not easy to find.
It has a strong confidentiality, comparable to the military version. At the same time, it also integrates the functions of most personal smart terminals currently on the market."
The smile on his face became more sincere. Not only did he take the initiative to explain the origin of this personal smart terminal, but he also said that when Wang Dong sets off tomorrow, he will send a patrol fleet from the mining star field to escort him.
This is a pleasant surprise.
In his previous life, Ding Weichun was not so enthusiastic.
It can be seen that after Wang Dong was reborn, the means he showed in the Tianhu Caravan incident that did not happen originally, as well as the qualities he showed in the meeting just now, made Ding Weichun's favor for Wang Dong greatly increase.
