Otherworldly White Dragon Lord Chapter 443: Hidden bad guys
What kind of country is the Kingdom of Saxony in the eyes of the top giants of free cities?
If you look at Yalin ’s thinking, there are quite a few people like the Middle Eastern tyrants and oil-producing countries in the original world. They are poor, war-torn, but they have buried countless treasures under the earth. However, it is even more tragic than the Saxon kingdoms of the oil-producing countries in the original world. At least the oil-producing countries in the Yalinyuan world would lose the dignity and diplomacy of some countries as long as they were willing to listen to the dispatch of the big countries. Life is very good. Of course, there are a few thorns that are written as the police read as a stream. The interference of a big powerhouse of a lighthouse will continue to explode every day!
The Kingdom of Saxony failed to live up to the days of these rich and oil-producing countries, because being trapped by the Ogg Barbarians not only lacked technology but also seriously lacked manpower, and even the first-level manual mining could not be formed. As a result, the entire country has been trapped in a vicious circle, and even the kings of successive generations have never seen any improvement in their national strength.
At least in Lawrence ’s eyes, this country located in the extreme north is too weak. If it were not for them to block the Ogg Barbarian, the wealth possessed by this country has already become a free city. The giant's dish is on the plate, and now all you have to do is cut the biggest piece of the cake to become your own.
However, ideals are always full, and reality is always the backbone. During this meeting, Lawrence ate a closed door soup in the Kingdom of Saxony┉┉
In the large conference room of the royal palace, the main members of the Saxony royal family, including the king, are concentrated here in a negotiation with the chairman of the most powerful chamber of commerce in the free city that will determine the future of the country. The meeting room has been completely isolated by the enchantment, but no one except the participants can hear any news from here.
"I don't understand what you mean, Your Majesty the King, do you think that the free city and countries will provide less material support to your country every year?" Lawrence faced the King's tone with a pair of gold eyeglasses. Road.
"Mr. Lawrence, you got me wrong. After our country reached a transportation agreement with the Kingdom of Bel Rama. The material reserves are no longer as tight as before. Now what our country needs is to revive the national economy and restore it as soon as possible. National strength."
Lord King Roland said at the top of the long table in a lukewarm manner, but Lawrence was frowning and thinking about the meaning of His Majesty the King. Just now Lawrence has more than once tentatively proposed hoping to obtain the mining rights of the Saxony Kingdom, but the old king gave Lawrence a procrastination card, deaf to Lawrence's hints, and even proposed to Lawrence to increase support for the Saxony Kingdom and Opening up more advanced weapons appears to be of no interest to the export of the Kingdom of Saxony.
Lawrence does n’t think the old man in front of him does n’t understand his meaning. Obviously, the other party does not want to sell the mining rights, and even has no interest in knowing their own asking prices. This is really strange. Do these barbarians living in the snow plan to hold a golden mountain and continue to starve?
The old king cleared his throat and watched Lawrence's complexion change several times. Soon the king said solemnly, "Do you know? Mr. Lawrence! Sometimes as a king, I can't just look at the benefit in front of me, I must look farther and leave enough resources for the survival of our descendants of the Saxons, we need 'fish' but more need 'fishing'! Incompetence will be exhausted when there is too much support, we are not just satisfied with the present I don’t care about future generations, so ┉┉Mr. Lawrence, I can’t promise ~you~~~~~~"
Lawrence ’s eyes became sharper in an instant, and the chairman of the chamber of commerce in the free city had heard the king ’s words ┉┉
┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉
In the residence where the mission was staying. Lawrence, who was in a deadlock in today's negotiations, sat and rested with a bad look. The maid standing in the room under a strange atmosphere was not dare to show it. Everyone was trying to shrink their bodies. see. Obviously the maids are very clear that Mr. Lawrence is in a very bad mood today!
After a while, Lawrence told the female assistant Kayman Susanna aside: "Let people check what are the chambers and countries that have recently had large-scale transactions with the Kingdom of Saxony!"
"I understand Mr. ┉┉ Do you think there is another candidate for the Saxony Kingdom in ore mining?"
"I can be sure!" Lawrence nodded and summoned a maid to pour himself a glass of wine: "Someone must have won the mineral rights of the Saxony Kingdom before us, I need to know who did it!"
The middle-aged mage standing behind Lawrence thought for a while. Although the mage is not a businessman, he still knows some things in the business circle: "Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce! Closide recently purchased a lot of slaves and sent them to the Kingdom of Saxony , Most likely he reached a cooperation agreement with the Kingdom of Saxony."
"I know!"
Lawrence nodded and drank the wine from the glass. Now, in addition to the Blackstone Ring, Lawrence could not have thought that outsiders would openly correct himself, but there is one more thing that Lawrence needs to figure out.
"In addition to the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce. There are other chambers of commerce or organizations conducting large-scale transactions with the Kingdom of Saxony!"
Food! The Saxon Kingdom is located in the extreme north, and food shortages have always troubled this country. Although the Saxon Kingdom will annually receive food from neighboring Berrama, it can only meet part of the demand. The remaining food gaps require material assistance or Buy from the free city. Grain has also become a heavyweight bargaining chip in the Saxony Kingdom traders ’trade negotiations in the Free City, but this year it has become unusual. The reason is that the uninterrupted snowstorm has saved the Saxony Kingdom from two wars, and the recent large-scale acquisition of slaves has also caused the population of the country to increase dramatically in recent times!
The population has increased, but the food purchases in the free city of the Saxony Kingdom have not increased. It is clear that the Saxony Kingdom has found new food supply channels. And every channel that Lawrence can think of that might supply food to Saxony is impossible to do if you think about it carefully. Because he has been eager to obtain the mining rights of the Saxony Kingdom worth nearly one trillion rennes, Lawrence has been using grain as a bargaining chip to gradually press the Saxony Kingdom, and also strictly monitors the amount of food flowing into the country. Avoid bad plans. Although the Kingdom of Saxony imports a portion of its grain into Bel Rama every year, the total grain output of the Bel Rama Kingdom cannot afford the needs of the entire Saxony Kingdom, and it is impossible for several large merchants in the free city who are able to supply food to be privately Additional food supply to the Kingdom of Saxony. In this way, not much gain will offend yourself as the chairman of the chamber of commerce.
It is true that Closide used the small chamber of commerce under the Blackstone Circle Chamber and the Chamber of Shell to buy a large number of slaves, but there was no large-scale purchase of food. The Holy City and the Holy See are also the objects of great suspicion, especially the Western Continent under the command of the Holy City. Recently, all countries in the Western Continent have been planning to build a new business city. It is also possible. It's just that the cost of transporting food from the western part of the mainland is too high, and ground transportation also bears a huge risk. Lawrence doesn't think that the Holy Land and the countries of the Western Continent can be generous to this extent!
Holy See! Lawrence thought for a long time but finally denied it. The Holy See wanted to expand its faith in the Kingdom of Saxony to squeeze out the Holy Land. The recent transportation cooperation agreement with Saxony and Bel Rama was also completed with the assistance of the Holy See. But if the Holy See wants to further use grain to win over the Saxony Kingdom, and as long as the Holy See shows its own sign in the acquisition of grain, let alone other merchants, Lawrence himself has to weigh the profitability of this behemoth. However, although it cannot prevent the Holy See from acquiring grain, it should at least be able to obtain information about the Holy See ’s large-scale acquisition of grain. The problem is that Lawrence did not get any relevant information at all!
In addition, food is not used for other commodities. Both humans and elves need food as long as they are living creatures. The amount of food has always been regarded as a measure of the stability of the mainland. Lawrence pays special attention to the fluctuations in food prices each year based on the quality of the harvest. This year's market prices have not changed significantly.
“I really ca n’t figure out, who else can supply food to the Saxon Palace on such a large scale in secret, knowing that supplying a city and supplying food for an entire country are two concepts. This is by no means a small country or What a small businessman can do." Lawrence thought for a long time while covering his forehead but found any valuable clues in his brows, and the channels he could think of were rejected.
"Mr. Lawrence, maybe we can investigate the transportation situation in recent years ~ IndoMTL.com ~ So much food should be transferred to the Chamber of Commerce's transportation team during the transportation process, maybe we can find some clues."
Kayman Susannah made a suggestion. Lawrence nodded and agreed that his chamber of commerce mainly monopolizes the transportation industry in the eastern continent. So much food is transported in the cross-connected network. The other side will stay more or less. Give some clues. But the speed must be fast, and you must dare to deal with each other before the Saxon kingdom solves the food problem, otherwise you will lose a huge bargaining chip to pressure Saxony. More than ten years of efforts may be lost. This is by no means Lawrence is willing to see To the end.
What if the origin of the problem cannot be found?
There is a glimmer of haze in Lawrence’s eyes. It is probably too late to support the opposition. The Kingdom of Saxony has been fighting wars with the Ogg Barbarian all the year round. Under the threat of war and survival, this country maintains a high degree of nobility or civilians. Unity, even if the ministers in the palace are extremely loyal to the royal family, it is impossible to support the opposition for more than ten years!
If there is any other way ┉┉ Even Lawrence, the chairman of the Free City Chamber of Commerce, can't think of a better way. (To be continued ...)
