Qianye put down the record in his hand and said, "Where is the person in charge of liaison with the empire? Bring him to see me."
After a while, the general brought a thin, middle-aged man. This man was dressed in rich clothes and came from an unknown low-class family. I don’t know what kind of effort his family put into it, or he wanted to stand out and came to Yong Lu.
In a remote rural area, he was responsible for the liaison between the Imperial Ministry and Qianye's Ministry.
Qianye didn't have much favorable impression of this person, so he put the two records in front of him and said, "I heard that the empire has stopped shipping. What's going on?"
The man took his time and said, "The cause of this matter is simple. The war in the new world in the empire is also extremely tight now. Therefore, the military adults are thinking that the exchange price given to you before is too high."
It’s a discount. When the empire itself is nervous, this price is not suitable. Therefore, we have stopped shipping for now and want to renegotiate the price with you?"
Qianye remained calm and asked: "What price do you want?"
"What the adults mean is that one potion needs to be replaced by three batches of sap."
"You are crazy!" The general next to him jumped up immediately. This is equivalent to triple the price at once, how can anyone accept it?
Qianye stretched out his hand and pressed down, stopping his general. He looked at the imperial envoy, his face gradually darkened, and said: "You have already received the news, right?"
The imperial envoy's face changed slightly and he said: "I did get the news a few days ago. I don't think this is a big deal. I might as well wait until you come back and find a suitable time to tell you."
What he said sounded nice, but in fact Qianye knew in his heart that it was just an excuse to trick Qianye into sending a few more batches of sap. If he could get Qianye to send out more batches of sap, it would probably be considered his achievement.
Qianye said calmly: "Who do you think you are, that you dare to play such tricks in front of me?"
Qianye didn't move his body, but just slapped a button lightly on the table. The imperial envoy felt as if his chest was hit by a heavy hammer, his face instantly turned pale, and the Force was rushing around in his chest, and a whirlpool was about to form.
Explode.
"Sir, spare your life!!" The imperial envoy looked pale and fell to his knees. He finally understood that Qianye could crush a little person like him to death with just a finger.
"Because of your status, I will spare your life this time. Go back and tell the adults in your family that what I can accept is two parts of tree sap for one potion. If the price is higher than this price, there is no need to do it again."
We’ve talked about it. In addition, please ask those ‘adults’ to hold their seats, and when the new world development is over, I will go find them and have a good talk.”
The imperial envoy did not dare to say anything. He wiped the sweat from his brow, got up and bowed before bowing his head and hurried away.
The general looked at his back, a little worried, and said, "Sir, are you just letting this guy go? He will definitely be detrimental to you when he returns."
Qianye said: "We have even tripled the price, what could be more disadvantageous? It's just that the war in Qinlu is not going smoothly either. If you give more, it will be regarded as supporting the empire. Moreover.
At this time, they sometimes cause trouble, and I don't have time to deal with them. I will wait until the dust settles."
The general thought about it and realized that this was also the case. The new world was being developed in full swing. At this time, arguing with the Imperial Ministry would not only take a long time, but would also involve energy. He had followed Qianye for a long time, so he knew a lot about Qianye's past.
After hearing the deeds, he said: "Since Lord Jundu is in charge over there, support is also necessary."
Qianye shook his head and said: "This matter is not that simple. The price increase may be just the beginning."
The general was startled, "Given Lord Jundu and your status, there are still people out there who are brave enough to come and capture Tiger Beard?"
Qianye got up and came to the window, looking at the noisy city of blue waves, and said: "When I first came here, this was just a remote country. No one in the empire cared about it, and no one cared about the interests here. The first aristocratic families
, they are all unpopular characters
Sex. Rather than saying that they are optimistic about Yong Lu, it is better to say that they just want to bet on me. It is different now. This city alone, with the food and clothing of tens of millions of werewolves, is a huge business. I
I think someone over there is eyeing our fat piece of meat."
This general was born as a mercenary, so he also had a temper. He glared and said, "Want to swallow this fat piece of ours? I'm not afraid of choking to death!"
Qianye laughed and said: "That's the truth. You go down first and pay close attention to the trends in the empire. We still have several batches of supplies on the way."
The general was startled again, "Aren't those supplies and military supplies given to us by various aristocratic families?"
"Yes, it belongs to a noble family, but it was also shipped from the empire."
The general's voice became louder, "But that's what you paid for, my lord!"
Qianye said: "At this time, it doesn't matter whether you have paid or not."
"This..." The general was speechless.
Qianye said calmly: "It's okay. I said that now these materials will be used to support Jundu and their development. It's just that I don't need the materials, but I won't care about where they go. If these things are sent to the front line, I won't care.
That’s it, if the whereabouts are unknown, then I will definitely investigate to the end. You go and send my message to the empire.”
"Yes, sir."
The general retreated, and Qianye stood by the window. The relief on his face disappeared, and his anger gradually rose. He spoke calmly in front of his men, but there was no trace of temper in his heart.
At this time, there are still people within the empire who are holding back, which Qianye did not expect. He started from scratch in Yonglu, and almost single-handedly suppressed the expansion of the Mosar werewolves, which was not only for the empire but also for the human race.
With great merit, I never expected to encounter something like this again.
Qianye slowly calmed down, suppressed his anger, and was ready to wait and see what tricks those people could pull off. For him now, there was no point in just getting angry. The key was to see how he could fight back.
This time the news came very quickly, but the content really couldn't make Qianye happy. He could even restrain himself from getting angry on the spot. Qianye already felt that he had a good temper.
The fleets carrying military supplies from various families have finally arrived, but the fleet that was supposed to be fully loaded has not only reduced the number of ships, but also has much less supplies in the cabins.
It is said that most of the aristocratic fleets encountered an interception by the Imperial fleet. Marines of the Imperial Guard fleet forcibly boarded the ships and announced the Empire's new regulations: From now on, all military supplies shipped outside the Empire's borders must pay taxes.
Unfortunately, the materials sent to Yonglu can be included in the list of military supplies, and Yonglu is definitely from outside the country. Qianye wants to be an independent king, not to mention that he has not fulfilled the vassal formalities.
After the performance is completed, the dependent country is also defined as outside the country.
As for the tax rate, it is half of all supplies. This is a ‘discount’ that the people in charge of escorting the Sijia fleet tried their best to obtain.
This time Qianye did not get angry in front of anyone, but first asked about the incident in detail.
The several deacons from aristocratic families who were in charge of the fleet were all sensible people. When something happened, they would sense that something was wrong. They made great efforts to establish friendship with the team members who were performing official duties and inquired about a lot of information.
It turns out that the empire recently passed a new edict. During wartime, military supplies sent abroad will be subject to heavy taxes.
In peacetime, there would be no problem with this order. In many cases, many types of bulk materials are embargoed during war. Although there is a black market, a respectable family who wants to make money from the national crisis has to do it secretly or find an agent.
Now it's just tax collection. But when it falls on Qianye, it changes the flavor.
Qianye's face was as calm as water, and he said: "Those people in the empire will not know that if this happens, the resources exported from me to the empire will also be cut off."
A business manager said: "Sir, maybe those people don't see it that way."
"Oh, so what?"
"Sir, please think about it. From our coming and going, what you get is real, and what the family gets is profit. There is nothing wrong with the empire, let alone those people. Even if you stop exporting materials to the empire,
That has nothing to do with them. The salary of the adults who made the decision will not be less than a gold coin."
Qianye frowned and asked, "What should we do now?"
"Find the key person and prescribe the right medicine!"
Qianye's face was as dark as water, and he asked: "What should I do if the medicine doesn't work? Or will the disease heal slowly?"
The head of the trading company said: "This... there is really no good way. Only this method can be effective. Think about it, since those people dare to do such dirty tricks, they naturally did not put you, nor Zhao Clan, in any place."
In the eyes.”
Qianye nodded and sighed: "It seems that this piece of meat from Yong Lu is really too fat."
The head of the trading company said in a timely manner: "It is under your rule that the land has become fat."
This flattery made Qianye feel really comfortable, and he smiled and said: "I'm just lucky." After being humble, Qianye's mood instantly improved a lot. He looked at the person in charge and asked: "What's your name?"
The head of the trading company hurriedly said: "The villain has a great fortune, and now he is in the Sihai Trading Company."
Qianye nodded, "You should pay more attention to the news from the empire and tell me directly if there is anything important. Also, go and find out who is eyeing me."
Sun Degui hurriedly said: "You should try your best!"
"That's it." Qianye dismissed everyone, picked up a pen and wrote a letter, ordering people to be sent to the Zhao Clan's garrison in the imperial capital, and handed them over to Zhao Jundu on the front line. After doing this, he plunged into the new world,
Continue to develop big plans, and at the same time suppress the Mosar werewolves.
Empire, Qinlu, and the fortress garrison at the gate are standing ready, nervously staring at the boundless white mist. Now, what comes out of the gate may not only be alien beasts, but also a reconnaissance force of demons.
At this moment, the Empire and the Eternal Night Alliance, led by the famous demon clan Masefield, are fighting in the new world. The locations of the gates of both sides have been discovered, and each side has sent death squads deep into the other side's gates.
There was sudden movement at the gate on the empire side, and a fierce murderous intent shot up into the sky, which immediately made everyone shiver. Some with low cultivation and timidity even sat down on the ground.
A general was very dissatisfied and shouted: "Why are you panicking! Lord Jundu must be back. It has happened so many times, and it's not like I haven't seen it before, but everyone is still scared like a bird!"
The soldiers obeyed, but they were dissatisfied. The general himself looked pale, and his whole body trembled when he felt murderous. How could he be better?
Heavy and low footsteps sounded in the fog area, and the ground shook. Then groups of soldiers walked out of the fog area.
Under the unparalleled military power, although the soldiers were all in ragged armor, and some were even wrapped with tattered and dirty bandages, their murderous aura and their neat, machine-like movements made people shudder.
The general whispered: "This is what we call an army!"
When the groups of soldiers finished walking, deep in the foggy area, a pillar of green and black force suddenly rose up and pierced the sky.
From the fortress general to the ordinary soldiers, they all felt a chill deep in their hearts when they looked at the nearly black cyan pillar of force. Some people whispered to themselves: "Why has the color become darker again?" (https:)
